Wow, 2020 has that palpable sense of living through a historic moment.

We have a global pandemic that has touched the lives of millions, hundreds of thousands of people have died and left the Earth in just a few months, and quarantines have been imposed which have resulted in economic collapse with record unemployment and small business bankruptcies.

In addition, a series of racially-motivated murders by cops against African Americans have been caught on video. Witnessing these brutal acts of blatant injustice within these tinderbox conditions has sparked worldwide protests against policy brutality and systemic injustice. And in the U.S. so far, these protests have been met with overwhelming force and more police brutality.

And now, we enter eclipse season.

Sol and Luna are renewing their sacred marriage once again. For better or worse. For richer, for poorer. In sickness and in health. Until death do us part.

We have three eclipses this season:

• Fri, June 5th - a Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
• Sat, June 20th - an Annular Solar Eclipse
• Sat, July 4th - a Penumbral Lunar Eclipse

Lunar Eclipse of June 5th, 2020

The above horoscope chart shows only planets that are in hard aspect and within a 5 degree orb of the eclipse.

Mars is in an exact square to the Sun and Moon, bringing a strong and active, fiery and energizing, Martial energy to the moment. Mars is the god inhabiting the question, "What can I do?" This is a time to take bold and courageous action.

We also have Venus and Neptune in the mix to cool things down and bring in the watery element. Together the Moon, Venus, and Neptune are the water trinity. It is important to tune into your emotions and feel what they are telling you right now. Somatic wisdom in the form of impressions, sensations, and waves of feeling.

Are you feeling righteous anger? Are you grieving? Are you scared? Are you feeling disgusted? All the above, some combination, something else?

Given the worldwide state of active protest and the salience of Mars here, it's worth highlighting a few particular qualities in potentia in relation to the lunar eclipse. Below is a brief summary of points:

Overall, an eclipse is a profound example of a naturally-embedded "sacred symbol" or revelation within the cosmos of a deeper order permeating all things, and demonstration of the kind of integrative possibilities that are available within the realms of consciousness and culture. Great potential exists for this eclipse season to become the turning point in history toward a better world that so many of us want.
