Capricorn Full Moon Lunar Eclipse & Sun in Cancer (July 7-2009)

A Life of DichotomyAstrology gives us a system to understand and make sense out of the polarities of our dual existence. There is always an opposite of what we can perceive! Light to darkness, love to fear, expansion and contraction; you can find examples for it on all levels of physical creation.When I look into a chart and how the planets are dispersed in it, I always give attention to the opposite sign because it holds the key to balance. Every wheel of the zodiac shows the point of the potentiality of oneness in the center. We can indeed tap into that point of transcendence of the outer themes indicated by the 12 signs around the center. We can achieve that by paying attention to the opposite sign. Each sign and its expression in our life will only be complete and balanced by having integrated the opposing qualities of the opposite sign.The Significance of the Capricorn Full Moon Lunar Eclipse & Sun in CancerWhen we look at the Sun and the Moon we look at two opposing forces. The Sun is representing our male expression, our conscious mind, the way we express ourselves through our actions and our self image and identity. We are aware of the Sun as a conscious, life giving force for all of us.The Moon is representing our female receptivity, our unconscious mind and might surprise us once in a while with emotions rising up and flooding our experience out of the blue as it seems. Moon is our way of perceiving the world through our feelings and connects us with an enormous field of potentiality in the collective unconsciousness. That way Moon is feeding our creativity and fills our well with delicious new thoughts and ideas.But we have another pair of opposing forces here with Capricorn and Cancer. The Moon is the ruler of the Cancer sign and is situated in its opposing sign for this Full Moon. This will shake us up and stir the pot! New Moons and Full Moons are usually much enhanced points of emotional impact to begin with. It is very beneficial for our own conscious attunement with the universal forces to keep an eye on the changing Moon throughout the month.The Capricorn Lunar EclipseDuring a Lunar Eclipse the earth is in between the Sun and the Moon blocking the light radiating from the Sun to be reflected by the Moon. There is a moment of interruption of the familiar flow of consciousness and with it a chance of waking up from our normal, very patterned and habituated flow of thoughts and self-expression.It has been said that a lunar eclipse brings up the shadow side of the sign it is in and with it a time of adjustment and integration. That is true, but even more so this time around, with the power of consciousness of the Sun in the opposing sign Capricorn governed by the Moon.Let us have
