Partial solar eclipse in Cancer: astrology meaning
A solar eclipse is a supercharged New Moon. Astrologers read it as a sudden opening or fresh start around home, family and old memories (Cancer). It falls near the North Node, traditionally the side of the axis linked to growth and new direction. The Cancer–Capricorn axis matters most if you have planets or angles within a few degrees of 27°43′ Cancer or Capricorn.
