Solar Eclipse of Personal Protecting in Cancer With Queen Bolete
New Moon Total Solar Eclipse of Personal Protecting in 10° 38' Cancer on July 2, 2019 (12:16 PST). Into the Cancer home is into the home and family of the Queen Bolete (Boletus regineus).
This New Moon is also a Total Solar Eclipse, which represents a far more potent lunation than just a New Moon. This Eclipse is on the Cancer/Capricorn axis and sets the groundwork and intention that will ground us and affect us for the next 6 months. This eclipse heralds movement away from Capricornian detriments of monolithic expectations and standards for achievement. We are moving away from distancing and sacrificing of ourselves in the name of being more in line with Ideals, the Law, Ethics, or the Sacred. We are moving away from forgetting ourself as a personal, tender, cycling, emoting, feeling being who is vulnerable and also dependent on intimate bonding. We are going towards the home of Cancer, towards nourishing our emotional awareness and intuitive mind. Seeking personal bonding and also brewing the internal medicine -- ever-adapting the boundaries of our milky insides and our protective shell.
Personal Protecting is looking at our always changing intimate bonds and allowing ourselves to be honest with our dependency and desires of intimacy with other beings. Personal Protecting is not a violent wall of no communication, it is actually quite the opposite. Protecting is a cycle of maintaining health and wellness by nurturing warmth and tenderness from within. True protection comes from the inside, and not an outside imposition. Protection is the intention to keep from harm or injury, and to also understand that we live in cycles where we will get hurt. Protecting feels these pains throughout the whole body and learns how to better strengthen, define, and flow towards greater resiliency and faster integration and to be able to continue participating and creating together.
What is personal is not just you. What is personal includes the intimate relationships you are intertwined with. Moving towards strengthening our intimate ties moves towards communal protection, much like the protection of a house or a family.
While it's impossible to defend oneself from external stimuli, it is essential to delineate one's domain and power, in a nonviolent way, to be able to explore one's inward wealth and our outward wealth. If we have more time and space to explore skills and landscapes inwardly, we will be stronger at the connectivity of our energy outwardly. How are you organizing or controlling your "closed" environments? How are you organizing or controlling your "open" environments?
We are experiencing an intense time of change where we may feel confused, lost, detached, or attached. Remember to trust your own process and work with it and through it, work with the information and messages that are coming into you, your body, emotions, visualization, memories, and creations, as you are in tune with our greater cosmic spiraling.
An Eclipse is the changing of karmic cycles that occur at either North or South Nodes. The placement of the North and South nodes are always changing, so the zodiac signs where we experience eclipses changes, too. Our last Eclipse set was in the Leo/Aquarius axis, which we last experienced as a Lunar Eclipse in January. This Cancer/Capricorn eclipse set is from this New Moon in July 2019 to January 2020. The last time we experienced Eclipses on the Cancer/Capricorn axis was in 2009-2011, so there are likely common themes underlying experiences between now and then. The next Cancer/Capricorn eclipse set will be in 2027-2029.
Currently our North Node is moving through Cancer and the South Node through Capricorn. The North Node is the dragon head, symbolic of the energies we are moving towards. This head forms ties, attracts, expands into, dives into the presencing and consumption of experience. The tail, or the South Node, excretes digestion, dissolves ties, releasing aversion and destructive patterns. The message of this Eclipse is orienting us toward a Cancerian space of softness, family, home, personal bonding, and receptivity.
We are moving away from Capricornian rigidity, stagnant structures, and distancing of self to be exclusively dedicated to personal ideals. Capricornian habits form monolithic principles that keep the heart of hearts safe from the fluctuations of beings, situations, and natural cycles. Out of Capricorn's abstract structures, greed becomes unadapted to the actual needs -- the more that Capricorn disregards what it does not identify with, the more Capricorn truly craves for it. Capricorn becomes totally identified with the Law, Ethics, the Sacred, the Transcendent Cause and risks forgetting oneself in service of the absolute. Capricorn is capable of sacrificing everything, including whoever and whatever is just trying to get by.
Where is the pressure you're feeling coming from? How can you release your pressure?
Toward Cancer is into the home of things. Into Queen Bolete we will find our intimate bonds. As a society, the issues we are confronting in Cancer pertain to home, family, emotional belonging, womxn's health, food, support systems, and ancestral and heritage issues.
Solar Eclipse New Moon Cycle Transits
Starting in Cancer season, all of the personal planets (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, and Mars) are traveling through the most personal signs of Cancer and Leo. As Cancer rules the Moon and Leo rules the Sun, these two zodiac signs are the most personal of all. The Sun and the Moon are our two luminaries, or sources of light. The Sun acts as a translator of cosmic wisdom to our earth bodies, encoding our emotions and energies with serious and important evolutionary information.
The Sun Season of Cancer is from June 21 - July 22. While Cancer qualities are surfacing in the forefront of our consciousness, this New Moon in Cancer also infuses our emotional and inward moods and landscapes with Cancerian energies for the next Moon cycle.
Mars is in Leo from July 1 - August 18. Mars, the planet of action, energy, assertion, and drive becomes infused with the light of the expressive and lively sun itself.
Venus is in Cancer from July 3 - July 29. The planet of attracting, relating, loving, and finding comfort will be in the sign of the cosmic collector -- a receptive and intuitive den mother who stores memories of the past and seeks close personal relationships.
Mercury, planet of personal perception, language, thought, and communication, enters Leo on June 26. On June 28, Mercury enters its shadow, where it will eventually retrace into once it begins its retrograde in 4° Leo on July 7. Mercury retrogrades from July 7 and stations direct again in 23° Cancer on August 2. Mercury leaves its shadow completely on August 15.
Mercury retrograde, from Earth's perspective, sees Mercury traveling backwards and a bit slower. This Retrograde will also affect people with aspects and personal planets in Fixed signs of Leo, Aquarius, Taurus, Scorpio. Mercury retrogrades are not a great time for initiating projects or starting something new. This is a time to really feel into the revisitation and review of territory you have already travelled.
Neptune is newly in Retrograde in Pisces from June 21 in 18° Pisces - November 27 in 15° Pisces.
We are in the thick of both the Pluto Retrograde and (April 24 at 23° Capricorn - October 3 at 20° Capricorn) the Saturn Retrograde (April 29 at 20° Capricorn - September 18 at 13° Capricorn).
The end of Jupiter's retrograde is nearing, which will be on August 11 at 14° Sagittarius.
1) Queen Bolete (Boletus regineus): home, family, boundaries, symbiosis, protection, nourishment, isolation, womb space, memories, external/internal pressures, tenderness, direct communication

Toward Cancer is toward Queen Bolete's domain of the home.
The Queen Bolete, as well as most Boletes, are ectomychorrhizal mushrooms, forming a symbiotic relationship with the roots of host trees exchanging nutrients, minerals, and water for sugars from the photosynthesizing trees. The Queen Bolete usually forms a symbiosis with Oak and Madrone trees. The Queen is conscious of how she is organizing, controlling, and participating in her "open" and "closed" environments.
The Queen Bolete is usually smaller and less common than the King Bolete (Boletus edulis) but retains the choice edibility status. The Queen Bolete grows in different habitat of mixed hardwood/conifer woods as opposed to mostly pines for Kings. The Queen grows in Southwestern North America and compared to the King Bolete, the has a darker cap with a white bloom.
As we are in Cancer with Queen Bolete, we are to honor our innermost feelings and let old nostalgia arise. Boletes are old mushrooms that people have been gathering around our earth for a long, long time. These are mushrooms with ancient impressions and layers of nourishment. Even though Cancer is a water sign, Cancer honors the flame used to cook for and restore the family. Going towards Cancer is to feed our souls. Cancer rules the womb space, breasts, chests, oxytocin (bonding chemical), and energetic centers that hold deep feelings. This is a wonderful time to set intentions of nourishing your physical body as well as emotional, spiritual, and mental bodies. A most powerful lesson for Cancer is to be direct about what you feel and want.
Queen Bolete has nothing to hide as her fruiting body is plump with juicy flavor, fruiting from the forest floor and bearing it all in whites, pinks, and deep rusty browns. Cancer is to be honest with our vulnerability. How are you dependent on others? Without others we might not know how to properly identify this mushroom and more deeply invite ourselves into its value, essence, and nourishment. Without others we would not form homes of love, protection, and emotional support.
Cancer is the often subtle vibrations of our earliest impressions. Cancer dances upon the cosmic seashells and collects their beauty to use in her brewing and simmering of her skills and personal creations. Like the force of the tides, she knows the importance of energy expressed through emotions and imagination. How can we be our own child as we allow ourselves to play and flow in the intimacy of ourself?
Where does 7-14° Cancer lie in your chart and what is this space aspecting? This energy of change is especially powerful for personal planets and aspects of the Cardinal zodiac signs -- those who initiate the seasons (Libra, Aries, Cancer, Capricorn).
How can we offer and show support for others? We are invited to create intentions, make changes, spaces, and boundaries that are felt way past this Moon cycle.
This New Moon is also a Total Solar Eclipse, which represents a far more potent lunation than just a New Moon. This Eclipse is on the Cancer/Capricorn axis and sets the groundwork and intention that will ground us and affect us for the next 6 months. This eclipse heralds movement away from Capricornian detriments of monolithic expectations and standards for achievement.
