Eclipses in July

This year there will be 6 eclipses. Eclipses are symbols of negation, blotting out our attachment to the material aspect of life, and enhancing our spiritual awareness. Life has a way of tugging at our security blankets in order to get us to let go of materialism and look for security within. Although eclipses occur each year, 6 eclipses in a single year is more uncommon. The last time we had 6 eclipses in one year was in 2000. The fact that we are having so many eclipses during 2009 is simply a reflection of the current challenging and uncertain times.
There will be two eclipses in July and one in August. The eclipses on July 7th and August 6th are lunar eclipses and are very weak. They are not expected to produce a significant impact astrologically. The total solar eclipse on July 22nd will be seen by millions of people in China and Southeast Asia, and will be very significant astrologically.
