This is a bit of a crazy monthly cycle, Cancer, in this potent eclipse timing that also corresponds to the Cancer season of the year, thus leading you to a powerful reconstruction of your very sense of identity as the month rolls on. You start June with a strong sense of your own inner world, based on the recent and quite potent Gemini New Moon that took place ten days before the month began. You are practically in a dream world of new conceptions, with also a mandate for discernment, a powerful reality urge to separate the wheat of value from the surrounding chaff. You find yourself in the midst of relationship transformation that leads you to new considerations for your work in the world, that it proceed form essentially spiritual grounds. The Solstice eclipse and New Moon of June 20th is particularly cosmic, a powerful new beginning, initiating a novel life phase, one that takes everything you have been experiencing up to this point and in a sense turns it inside out.
