A total eclipse of the Sun is probably the most impressive astronomical event you’ll ever witness. On July 2, a total solar eclipse occurs in Cancer; on July 16, a lunar eclipse occurs in Capricorn. Astrologers have been observing eclipses for more than 3,000 years. In ancient times, they often associated eclipses with dire events. In this more enlightened era, most astrologers think an eclipse indicates a change or an emphasis on an area of life. To find out which areas of your own life are likely to be affected by this month’s eclipses, look to those associated with Cancer and Capricorn.
