Powerful solar clipse June 10th

 

June will bring the second of two eclipses this spring, and this is a new moon solar eclipse that falls at 19 degrees of Gemini on June 10^th. This is an annular solar eclipse which is sometimes referred to as a ‘ring of fire’ eclipse as the outer edges of the Sun seem brightly lit like fire as the moon passes in front of it.

Gemini is all about possibilities, adaptability, openness and different choices along with communication. Mercury, the planet of communication is Gemini’s ruling planet and Mercury is retrograde. When Mercury is retrograde at the time of an eclipse it can delay events connected to the eclipse, sometimes by days or weeks. Issues could also arise with communication in term of delays, setbacks or lack of clarity in some way. All electronic communication could be affected. This will be an extremely busy time and we should expect more personal action and communication in our neighborhoods, the internet, with siblings and schools. Meetings, social activities and correspondence may increase as well.

This eclipse last occurred by degree and sign on June 10^th, 2002 as solar eclipses repeat every 19 years. If you are old enough to remember this period it may give you a clue as to what you should expect during this eclipse.

Communication will be important and since Mercury is retrograde and falls next to the moon, you may feel reflective or connected to something or someone from the past that could include family members, extended family or those who are the closest to you.

This eclipse squares Neptune (along with Mercury), the planet of illusion, delusion and confusion. You could feel tired and drained, melancholy or confused and unsure of your direction. For some, this may cause anxiety or a feeling of being uncertain about something or someone.  If this is the case make no final determinations until the energy has passed. At times, new information can be revealed on Neptune transits. What is needed at the time of this eclipse is clarity, honesty and caution, as the Moon’s square to Neptune can bring about the opposite which could result in deception, lack of clarity and confusion if you do not keep your feet on the ground, and remain steady. If something appears to be untrue or incorrect, don’t sweep it under the rug.  You may feel insecure and prone toward going down rabbit holes that don’t really exist. This may also complicate or confuse business deals or other important conversations.

The positive use of this energy is compassion, creativity and spiritual insights. You could experience any of the above situations or activities along with vivid dreams and feelings of psychic insight.

As Saturn is square Uranus June 14^th this eclipse may seem very significant in our lives and around the globe. Unexpected events are prone to occurring at this time on a personal level and in the world

On the world stage we can expect more confusion, propaganda, conspiracy theories and potential untruths to be revealed in the days before and after the eclipse. Communication issues and problems may arise that could include the internet, hackings, mail service or we could hear news relating to these things. Neptune rules gas, chemical substances and water, and could see water related weather events or events at sea. In the US we can expect more news relating to racial issues and inequities and potential scandal.  We could also see or hear of events concerning those who are considered to be enemies to the US.

This eclipse along with the May 26^th lunar eclipse form an eclipse cycle that will last until the next lunar eclipse November 19^th, so we will continue to see events connected to these eclipses play out.
