Mars leaves your sign on the 6th and the planetary power is still in the Western, social sector. Conflicts of last month are finished with. It is easier now to develop the social skills and to put others first. It is not difficult to take a vacation from yourself. Let others ask their way so long as it isn’t destructive.
The main headline of the month is two eclipses: a solar eclipse on the 9th and a lunar eclipses on the 23rd. Though you will still smell the impact in various areas of life, these are basically benign to you.
The solar eclipse of the 9th (in America it occurs in the 8th) happens in your 5th house. It affects children and children figures in your life. They go through some life-changing dramas. Some of these are very normal – puberty or graduation. Things of this nature – but other dramas could also happen, so it is best to keep them out of harm’s approach during this period. They don’t need to be doing daredevil-type stunts.
This eclipses impacts on Jupiter and Saturn. The impact on Jupiter, your financial planet, shows important fiscal changes happening. You’ve been making financial changes for over a year, but now even more so. Generally this happens as the result of some unexpected expense or some new revelation about the financial condition or status. (That stock you thought was a long-term winner turns out to be a dog; that fund with the great track record is revealed to be not so great after all.) The influence on Saturn shows that cars and communication equipment will be tested. They might be under an obligation to repair or replacement. It would be a big idea to drive more carefully over this period. Siblings or sibling figures in your life have personal dramas.
Every solar eclipse affects the career and this one is no different. Twice a year is there a chance to redefine your goals and plan thanks to solar eclipses. Often such an eclipse indicates shake-ups in your company or industry. The rules of the game change and you must be tailored to them. There are intimate dramas in the lives of bosses, parents or parent figures.
The lunar eclipse of the 23rd occurs in your 12th house of spirituality. This shows dramatic changes in your spiritual life – in your practice, attitudes and teachings. There are shake-ups in a spiritual or charitable organization you’re involved with and dramas in the lives of gurus and guru figures. This eclipses influences on Mercury, testing friendships and technology equipment. Make sure your critical files are supported and your anti-virus software is the property of date. There are dramas in the lives of friends. This eclipse often brings encounters with death (although not usually literal death). Perhaps get a close call – or a friend is under a definite call. Perhaps you have dreams of it.
You’re forced to confront your own mortality. This is enlightening, not punitive. It indicates that it is time to get more serious about life. It is not advisable to let during this eclipse period; attempt to schedule any trips around it.
