Hello, it’s Keiko.  

I imagine your consciousness must be gradually starting to change as we approach the beginning of the Air Era in December.

However, in order to make a smooth transition to the Air Era there is an astronomical event which I think you should pay close attention to. 

It’s the double New Moon in Cancer which takes place on June 21st and July 21st.  In fact, Cancer is the sign which holds the keys of 2020. 

In today’s post I will tell you why Cancer is attracting so much attention in 2020, and what the meaning of the Double New Moon in Cancer is.

Cancer has been in focus since the first day of the Astrological New Year  

On a Universal level, the beginning of a New Year is referred to as the first day of the Astrological New Year.  On our calendar it falls on the first day of Spring.  It’s on this day that the sun enters Aries (the first of the twelve zodiac signs) and a new Astrological Year begins.  But what I want you to pay attention to is what’s known as “Ascendant”. 

Ascendant is also known as “the gateway to fortune and opportunities” and subsequently all fortune enters our lives from here.  By knowing in which sign Ascendant is in, and which planets are located nearby, we are able to figure out exactly what we should be shifting our attention to. 

In 2020 Ascendant is in the 28th degree of Cancer.  Simply put, fortune and opportunity will enter our lives if we are conscious of the role of Cancer in our daily life and if we are aware of what Cancer is showing us. 

Earlier, in an editorial article about the first day of the Astrological New Year, I introduced an article saying 2020 would be the year of interpersonal, romantic relationships and partnership, and I pointed out that what Cancer shows us is family, and friends who are close like family. 

The key point of this article was the importance of building good relationships with family members and close friends.   

Strangely enough, from just before the start of the Astrological New Year, stay at home policies came into effect around the world and since then time spent with family has increased remarkably, and people have begun reaffirming the importance of family ties and their relationships with their close friends.  

What does the Double New Moon in Cancer signify? 

From here on I will explain the significance of the Double New Moon in Cancer. 

June 21st New Moon in Cancer (Annular Solar Eclipse)

The first New Moon in Cancer takes place on June 21st, which also happens to be the summer solstice.  The summer solstice is when the Sun enters into Cancer, and within a few hours of this event the New Moon occurs at zero degrees in Cancer.  And what’s more, the New Moon in Cancer is also an annular solar eclipse! 

Cancer is the home base of the Moon, so the Moon’s energy is really starting to build up. 

With the following three events all taking place on the same day, it can’t be denied that the power of the Moon on this day is immeasurable!

• the sun entering Cancer on the day of the summer solstice

• the New Moon occurring at zero degrees in Cancer

• the annular solar eclipse increasing the power of the New Moon beyond normal. 

Just from those three events taking place at the same time I think you can probably grasp that the universe is really putting the spotlight on Cancer, but what this New Moon signifies is a revolutionary change in your subconscious mind.

The reason is that the New Moon on June 21st occurs in the eighth house, which is the realm of the subconscious.  Solar and lunar eclipses are known to reverse our consciousness and the way we perceive things.  Thus eclipses possess the power to reform.  When you receive this energy it has the potential to bring about personal and even life-changing positive change.  

Cancer governs household affairs, family, and motherhood, so for women in particular this is a great opportunity to allow new femininity and charm to awaken and to allow for the rebirth of a brand new self.

It’s also a great time to try to figure out what you really want to do in life, what your talents and natural gifts are, and what you are looking for in life.  

However at this point the extent of change is still in its infant stage, where you begin to recognize signs that change is near.  More concrete change and concrete actions won’t start taking place until around the time of the second New Moon in Cancer on July 21st. 

July 21st New Moon in Cancer (Second Time)

The second New Moon in Cancer will take place on July 21st, exactly one month after the first one.  On this day the New Moon will occur in the 28th degree of Cancer. 

The 28th degree of Cancer is precisely the same location as Ascendant on the first day of the Astronomical New Year.  You can see that we are being reminded of what was being shown to us on the first day of the Astrological New Year;  that fortune and opportunities will enter via Cancer, and the importance of relationships with family and close friends.  

It should also be noted that the New Moon on this day is taking place in the Second House, which signifies income and your innate character.  Because Cancer inherently controls family and personal life, it’s not easily connected with income, but because people have been working from home via telework and remote work, this second New Moon in Cancer will offer us a good opportunity to think about how we earn income. 

Together with what was shown to us by the first New Moon in Cancer on June 21st the message the Universe is giving us is:

• Specifically connecting the changes that sprang up inside of you on the Cancer Annular Solar Eclipse one month ago to your work will lead to unexpected income and success. 

• There are opportunities to earn income while at home by doing things that up until now you have done in your personal life.

• You can expect an increase in income by taking over your family business, or starting a new business with your family, your partner, or someone who is close like family.  

At this time, you need to value Cancer’s messages of ‘enveloping love’ and ‘harmony with your loved ones.’  In the end, it’s important to remember that regardless of the type of work, it is only made possible through love and a harmonious relationship with the people around you. 

Be sure to keep this in mind and receive the full energy of the Double New Moon in Cancer. 

So what do you think?  Don’t you think that the Double New Moon in Cancer is trying to help us prepare for a smooth transition to the new way of working and new values which are sure to change drastically in the upcoming Air Era? 

Be sure to get the Double New Moon in Cancer on your side and make necessary changes as we head toward the new era.
