Solar Eclipse Horoscopes

What will July 21's intense solar eclipse bring to your life?

Clocking in at six minutes and 39 seconds, the total solar eclipse taking place on July 21 (visible throughout Asia) is the longest -- and most powerful -- of the 21st century. It's the second New Moon in Cancer, intensifying last month's themes related to home, family, self-nurturing and birthing new things. Falling at the final degree of the sign, it brings a "last gasp" effort or release of an old attachment. This solar eclipse occurs within 12 hours of the Jupiter-Chiron conjunction, which may trigger a wound to be healed. Take good care of yourself now, and prepare for your life to take a sudden turn. What might that look like for you? Keep reading to find out:

Aries (March 21 - April 19)
You may be releasing an attachment to a romantic fantasy or watching a child fly the coop at this New Moon eclipse, Aries. You've done all you can to feed and nurture this situation; now it's time to call it quits and let go. Solace comes from a healer in your community or a friend you've been on the outs with who is there to help. Pouring your creative energies into an original project is therapeutic, and births a new aspect of you.

Taurus (April 20 - May 20)
You've been on intense "output" mode for the last month, Taurus, quite likely over-giving to those in your immediate environment or family members. The New Moon eclipse is a death knell for this pattern of taking care of others, demanding that you begin to nurture yourself instead. A sensitive career issue comes to a head, taking a turn for the better as you forgive and let go. Changes at home are for the best; surrender to them.

Gemini (May 21 - June 20)
You may face a crisis of faith at this New Moon eclipse, Gemini. Since you're so imaginative, it's easy for you to spin convincing stories about your life -- both positive and negative -- and then watch them come true. Now you're challenged to birth a new reality by using your awesome mental powers to visualize and affirm what you desire. Slow down, ground yourself and calmly make a choice based on sudden info that arrives.

Cancer (June 21 - July 22)
A healing crisis with someone close to you, or the need to let go of an addiction of some kind, triggers feelings of insecurity at this New Moon eclipse, Cancer. You're birthing new priorities and putting your talents out to the world now, a scary process for one so sensitive to the possibility of rejection. As the old passes away, dig deep and find your true nourishment and security within. And, demand what you're worth financially!

Leo (July 23 - August 22)
You've been in preparation mode for a month, Leo, and this New Moon eclipse springs you out of the starting gate. Is there something still left undone, perhaps an emotional attachment you need to release or a fence to mend? Do it now to clear your slate for exciting new opportunities this month. Let go of recent burdens and let your light shine forth -- others will notice the changes you're making and step forward to assist you.

Virgo (August 23 - September 22)
Your mental and physical health is the focus at this New Moon eclipse, Virgo. Don't give in to the temptation to run around like crazy or overreact to news of an ending of some kind; you're meant to slide into rest-and-rejuvenation mode now, and let others carry the ball to the finish line at work. Care-giving comes naturally to you, but now it's crucial to cut back on your duties, take care of yourself and take time to relax and heal.
