“Ready to reconnect to your passion? The new moon of July 31, 2019 (8:12 pm PT) is a nourishing reboot for your soul. Spinning on the tail of some heavy and exhausting eclipse energy, this new moon ignites positive spiritual growth, while offering a new lease on love, creativity and emotional fulfillment.

The new moon is in sidereal Cancer, in the area of the sky called Pushya, the star of nourishment. Symbolized by a blooming lotus flower, or the milk-giving udder of a cow, this nakshatra is a heavenly source of spiritual and emotional nourishment.

“On July 16th we have a Partial Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in the sign of Capricorn. The Full Moon, which usually illuminates the night sky, will be partially hidden by the shadow of the Earth, creating an alignment that will bring new insights and information to the surface.

The energy behind this Eclipse is intense, and beams of energy will flow from the darkness and from the light to expose our shadows and things we have been hiding that we need to release.

While releasing and endings are a big theme of this Eclipse, there is something deeper happening here too. This Eclipse is not just guiding us to release and bring closure to things that have served their time, it is also guiding us to stretch; to stretch the limits of our mind, our body, and our soul.

Under the energy of this Eclipse, we may feel like we are being stretched to our limits or pulled in two different directions. We may have to choose a path, or we may feel torn between one mode of action versus another. A decision will have to be made, but the Eclipse will be your guide and will deliver the answers in the perfect timing.

As the celestial bodies in the sky align for this Eclipse, it is going to be like two armies meeting on opposing sides of a field.

Rather than fighting each other however, they are working together to bring healing, transformation, and growth to the person standing in the middle, and that person is you.

Once these two forces have pulled and stretched you, helped you to work through some knots and some tension, you are going to feel taller, lighter, and more open. Energy is going to be able to flow up and down and pass freely through your body, activating your soul and your energy centers.

Under the energy of this Eclipse, we have to be gentle with ourselves. We have to allow ourselves to gently stretch and breathe through the knots and tight spots. We have to inhale and exhale until we feel our bodies melt and open.

The July 16th Eclipse is one of the most potent and transformative points of the year, but we are ready for it, we are strong enough to handle it, and like all things in life- this too shall pass.”

“The second Eclipse Season of 2019 kicks off with a Total New Moon Solar Eclipse in the sign of Cancer on July 2nd.

While intense, the energy around this Eclipse is really like a fresh breeze entering the room. If things have felt stagnant, stuck or sticky for you, this Eclipse is a wonderful opportunity to shake things loose and to begin moving forward.

Making changes will definitely be favored around this Eclipse, so think of an area of your life that needs an upgrade and allow the Eclipse energy to guide you. Opportunities will be knocking, so stay open!

Cancer is also the sign of the Divine Mother and while not all of us are lucky enough to know what it’s like to be cared for, nurtured, and loved by our mother, we all have the power within to care for, nurture, and love ourselves.

Cancer energy is all about this, so if you haven’t been looking after yourself, if you have been burning the candle at both ends, or ignoring the call of your heart (or the calls from your mother!), this Eclipse may bring a much needed wake-up call.

While Eclipses can be potent they are also wonderful gateways of change. They are points in the year where the Universe can intervene to put us on track with our lives and where we need to be heading.

The type of events that fall around an Eclipse are believed to be fated and help us to align with our path, our purpose, and our higher calling.

Eclipses move and shake us. They put us where we need to be, and this Eclipse is going to open that doorway, it is just up to us to take the first step and begin walking through it.

You may feel the energies of the Eclipse building as we move closer to it, but chances are you will need to wait until the Capricorn Lunar Eclipse which falls on July 16th before you can really decipher what the Universe has in store for you.

Nonetheless, if you have been looking for a fresh start, if you have been looking to clear the cobwebs and try something new or to create a routine that is more nurturing, this July New Moon Solar Eclipse will bring you plenty of opportunities. Are you ready?”
