The 26th of Aries and Libra (the eclipse degree) and the predictable path

Every image (just like the picture of a chart) will be interpreted differently, but there is a core meaning that we recognize, usually. The Sabian Degree is a combination of astrology and the paranormal.

In the version of Helene and Willem Koppejan of the Zodiac Image Handbook the image of the 26th degree of Aries is that of a royal person handing over his scepter to a kneeling servant. There is a big sun shining above the king and a smaller one on the servant. Janduz explains this degree like 'easy success'. The second image mentioned is that of  a man with more gifts than he can hold. So far for the Sun.

The Moon in the 26th of Libra is the Moon in the degree of a glorious but not yet won fight, according to the interpretation of Janduz. The picture is that of an armed knight fighting a roaring lion  and a scared man on the left, only holding a stick.
There are always two images for every degree in the Zodiac Image Handbook by Koppejan. The second image is that of an eagle and a white dove turning into each other, fast. A powerful bird changing into a bird of peace and a bird of peace becoming an eagle, in other words.

There has been said much about the Moon degree, but how about the Sun? It was a day for an easy success with on the other hand, a role switch for those with the power to make peace. As it was an eclipse, there was a moment in history without a view on a process of peace that actually was in the shadow? And see, meanwhile Russia and Ukraine came to an agreement, behind the scenes! And the President of the USA has his doubts about that.

I like Sabian degrees, and welcome their addition to the usual tools for interpreting astrology charts. It is, however, not so that every person born with the 25-26 degree of Libra will face a glorious fight in some way. The actual degree needs to be a prominent one (like on the AC-DC or MC-IC or 'calling' = NA), like Mars in the chart of Pope Francis. Otherwise we'd have to assume that every person born on a October 19 would win in the end (with assistance) and that every person born with 25-26 Aries Sun would have a lot of present to share. That can't be so, says  logic. Also, some of the judgements are rather hard to deal with and leave the question: how to change such a picture of a part of YOU? And can we change ourselves and alter a picture of ourselves? I wonder. What is your opinion? Please do the poll!

An eclipse including Ceres hit the chart of the Greek PM during the monetary crisis and the demand for help from the EU. See http://astropost.blogspot.nl/2011/06/lunar-eclipse-tonight-and-papandreous.html I quote:

The degree of the Moon at full moon is 25th Sagittarius.The Zodiac Image Handbook (by Koppejan) shows the image of a couple at the end of an exhausting party, sitting at the table with left overs and empty bottles. Janduz said that this is a degree of exaggeration. And there is another image of a rich boy on horseback (by Rudhyar and Marc E.Jones). Maybe this is the eclipse that tells us not to be carried away  by luxury? 
The Sun's degree (25 Gemini) shows the picture of on old man in a library, quite the contrary of the picture of the Moon and in line with this opposition. It is a degree of intellectual culture, says Janduz. The second image in the Zodiac Image Handbook is that of a gardener, taking care of palm trees. Culture again and cultivating. 

Eclipses come in families, says Bernadette Brady, about the Saros Cylcle (http://www.bernadettebrady.com/Pdfs/SarosCycles.pdf_ I bought her book'Predictive Astrology' and in that book are all eclipses in the family. The one of tonight belongs to number 13. Brady relates this family to Australia, where eclipses of this range seem to stimulate the community spirit(or stormy weather, real or in politics).

Blood Moon written in red, pink and orange

Some see an eclipse as a bad sign. Yesterday I watched the movie Noah and that is in a way a movie about a person who believed the bad signs that he (and only he) saw. It was a movie with a colored vision of humanity divided in the good (obedient veggies) and bad (blood thirsty flesh eaters), with the good doing bad things, too. Anyway, 25 euro and a bucket of pop corn later I knew that the movie Noah would be part of my next post. I study astrology since I was 15 (and I won't tell you when that was!). I know that charts don't 'predict' but 'reflect'. So I also know that the upheaval about a blood moon is a sign reflecting the fear and unrest in society more than vice versa. And yes, I know that this eclipse is full and rather unique. Read NASA about it: http://edition.cnn.com/2014/04/11/tech/innovation/blood-moon/index.html

John Hagee is a conservative christian who 'predicted' fundamental change involving Israel in 2007. Nothing happened and now he gives 2014/2015. It sounds a bit like the Maya calendar prophecies of 2012 and indeed: there are a lot of such prophecies (see Exit Mundi http://www.exitmundi.nl ). This is the chart of his day of birth. Watch the present transit Saturn near inconjunct his Sun and read about the examples on this site: http://astropost.blogspot.nl/search/label/inconjunct%20Saturn It isn't a happy transit.

Although it is a mistake to kill the messenger, it is right to have insight in the visions of a prophet, because what he thinks and what he says might have something to do with his personal ideas and maybe less with your reality. For example, he mentions the tetrades as related to the expulsion of the Spanish Jews, but not that the eclipses occurred AFTER that expulsion, so that it could hardly be called a prophetic eclipse. Yet, people choose to believe what he says. Watch the Sun-Jupiter-Neptune combination of fans, followers and religious beliefs.

I remember how I watched a not moving cloud before the moon on a summer night once. I was the only one interested, on that parking place. Nobody noticed, they watched their burger, their map or their children. In the days before electricity and TV, eclipses may have been spectacular. Today only those interested watch them. And apparently, mr. Hagee is one of them. So are a lot of astrologers. 

This full eclipse of April 15 will not be visible in Northern Europe or in Israel at all. Here is the chart for 'Blood moon' in Seoul.

I don't often write about eclipses (see the posts). This one is rare, says NASA and we are lucky to be able to see it (in America, for example). It is in the saros series 16 South and means 'wasted energy' according to Brady. The chart pictures a lot of nervous energy, like the tight Uranus-Pluto square and the combination of Mars, Eris and Saturn. The chart mirrors the worlds tension (Ukraine, Korea, Syria), but doesn't tell what we didn't know already. There is a threat of escalating aggression all over the world and it is hard for those in charge to avoid war at larger scale. Little we can do about it… 

We aren't Noah and my garden is too small for an ark. It also doesn't help to worry. Last week I felt completely powerless and sad when I found out that the care takers of the elderly home of my mother simply didn't give her her medication because it 'wasn't on a list' even though they knew her medical condition and history. I found out by accident that you can't feel safe and secure and content, ever. Yet, last night, in spite of the near full moon, I slept like a log for 12 hours and I woke up with pink cheeks. I wish you the same good nights sleep and a happy Pink /orange Moon!

Eclipses in 2012

Eclipses are part of a cycle named Saros Series. The Saros series numbers of the Eclipses in 2012 are contradicting all predictions of doom for the next year to come. The first eclipse is on May 20 (solar; lunar eclipse on June 4)) 2012. That is in 14 South and that points at success. The second one is in 15 North (solar on November 13, lunar on November 28). According to Bernadette Brady that it is mumber with an atmosphere of joy! So why worry about 2012? Persons born around May 20, June 4, November 13 or November 28: rejoyce! The eclipses are with you. Those who have the Moon, Ascendant or Midheaven (in natal or progression) in 0 or 7 Gemini, 14 Sagittarius or 22 Scorpio: be happy! Good prospects are to be honored! No better news than good news! However...Let's first see what happened last time when there were eclipses in 14 South and 15 North.

SAROS SERIE 14 SOUTH AND15 NORTH IN 1994

In May of 1994 during Saros serie 14 South Nelson Mandela became the President of South-Africa. But after November 1994 (15 North) the Mexican economy was in crisis! 

I don't now if there were good or bad events or changes in the lives of people born on May 10, May 25, November 3 or November 18 soon after the eclipses. If you were born on one of these data, please tell me and my readers about it. As far as I know there have never been studies about the supposed to be effects of the eclipses. But given the fact that the saros series of 2012 have a good press, let us wait and see and hope for the best!

Lunar eclipse tonight (and Papandreou's birthday)

There are different ways to see the eclipse of today: looking at the degrees of the eclips (25th Gemini-Sagittarius), looking at the saros serie (SS 13 South), seeing the aspects with the midpoint of Sun/Moon (square Ceres) and looking at the combination of them. This total lunar eclipse happens to be conjunct the natal sun of the Prime Minister of Greece. Now watch the sabian degrees, Ceres and SS 13 South...

The degree of the Moon at full moon is 25th Sagittarius.The Zodiac Image Handbook (by Koppejan) shows the image of a couple at the end of an exhausting party, sitting at the table with left overs and empty bottles. Janduz said that this is a degree of exaggeration. And there is another image of a rich boy on horseback (by Rudhyar and Marc E.Jones). Maybe this is the eclipse that tells us not to be carried away  by luxury? 

The Sun's degree (25 Gemini) shows the picture of on old man in a library, quite the contrary of the picture of the Moon and in line with this opposition. It is a degree of intellectual culture, says Janduz. The second image in the Zodiac Image Handbook is that of a gardener, taking care of palm trees. Culture again and cultivating. 

Eclipses come in families, says Bernadette Brady, about the Saros Cylcle (http://www.bernadettebrady.com/Pdfs/SarosCycles.pdf_ 

I bought her book'Predictive Astrology' and in that book are all eclipses in the family. The one of tonight belongs to number 13. Brady relates this family to Australia, where eclipses of this range seem to stimulate the community spirit (or stormy weather, real or in politics). 

Could the combination of the Sun-Moon opposition and eclipse mean: A joint effort to reconsider, cultivate and stop spending too much? Or is it more so that the controversy between intellectual cultivation and 'having a party' will be highlighted these days? When the earth darkens the moon, maybe it is time to stop dreaming and see the world from another perspective (as a shadow on the moon). 

And, would it just be coincidence that George Papandreou, PM of Greece (in debt, asking for monetary support by the EU, see the news about the strikes*): http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/jun/15/greece-anti-austerity-strike) was born on June 16, 1952 with the Sun in the 25th of Gemini? His birthday tomorrow will highlighted by this eclipse! I don't know if that means that it will be a happy birthday. But I know that the images of the Zodiac Image book and the meaning of SS13 are corresponding with his dilemma. And there is even more...


See Astromarkt.net about Sun/Moon midpoint. This Sun/Moon midpoint is square Ceres. People born during this eclipse will be strongly motivated by issues regarding dynasty, nurturing, nutrition, heirloom, genes, seeds and motherly care: the basics, the people (plebeians, see Wikipedia). More about Ceres...

*) Greece: monetary problems and strikes against the austerity policy. The EU nations (and the people: it is taxes)  providing money to help Greece get over the financial problems will demand strict measures.

2011, Jupiter-Uranus and an eclipse

Happy New Year! It has been a great party, and now we will soon have to get to work as usual. There is still something 'spectaculair' on the horizon, however. Perhaps you are able to see a glimpse of the upcoming partial eclipse 13 North (in th3 14th degree of Capricorn) when you are on the way to school or office in Northern Europe...The event can't be seen in the USA. For more info, see Nasa...Here is the chart (for Greenwich time and place), something about the eclipse and more about astrologer Jonathan Caine, who was on television last night (or was it this morning?:) with a forecast of 2011. Just continue for more...

Winter Solstice time and Eclipse 13 North

We use to celebrate the new year on January 1, 0 hours, but that is a rather artificial date to start the new year. The astrological New Year begins when the Sun is on the equinox, on his way up to the North. That is with Sun at Zero Aries. Winter begins with the Sun at Zero Capricorn. This year that is on December 21 at 11:38:30 p.m. (23:38:30 hours) Greenwich Time. That is on December 22 at 00:38:30 in The Netherlands, Belgium, France and Spain, for example. In those countries the Sun will be opposition Midheaven when the winter starts. Winter Solstice in New York (18:38:30 on December 21) has no angular placements. I don't know if solstice charts have a special meaning. I think that they mean what a 'January 1 zero hour' charts means: a picture of a moment in time with a special meaning for those who find it a special moment. But...

If the positions at solstice time are valid for the next 3 months for all places, than I hope that the Jupiter conjunct Uranus square Mercury-combiation will be the reflection of relief in transportations soon, but as long as Mercury is retrograding we can't expect much. The winter weather causes delay all over and experts say that the second cold winter now (with few solar activity) might be the beginning of a small ' ice age'. I won't ask Al Gore where global warming is when you need it, but I anticipated for the tropics and loved the palm trees in the garden and see what happens in my icy cold garden:

ECLIPSE

Today was the lunar eclipse in the Sarosserie 13 North, the one that started on August 14, 1776. According to Bernadette Brady's book "Predictive Astrology' this one is the member of a family of eclipses ment for groups and projects with groups. Those projects require separations. The eclipse should be experienced as a separation and later as a group achievement. This eclipse number occured in 1992 and in 1974 and in 1956 and in 1938, always in Novemer or December. Perhaps lots of travellers now feel separated from their groups and families. I hope that they will get home soon!

Those who have a placement in the 29th degree of Gemini (Sun, Moon, Ascendant, Midheaven) or a progressed placement there might notice the effect of this eclipse more than others do. Continue for experiences with eclipses and famous examples...

The Lunar Eclipse and Mrs.Robinson's past affair

The Lunar Eclipse of last December (at 9CAP15) was conjunct the Jupiter of PM Robinson. This eclipse might have the potential to twist his political (and domestical) fate. And the eclips certainly revealed a big problem, coming from the past. His wife admitted that she had an affair two years ago. Allegations about financial affairs related to this, forced her to tell the world about it. Peter Robinson’s political enemies are very willing to benefit from the situation, of course. Mrs. Robinson (what is in a name?) suffers from depression now. How important can an affair be in poliics?

There is no hour of birth, so there is no complete info. However, there is some insight in the situation by comparing their natal positions.. I wouldn't want to add more to the fire, so I stick to linking to the relevant posts on this blog. They managed to stick together in spite of the revealed secrets and yes, their suns are matching. There is information on Astromarkt about sharing Mercury-Neptune (sharing secrets?) and Sun-Saturn aspects (for consistency). That explains. Also see the posts with examples about Mars opposition Mars in a relationship. Conflicts between Mars seem to have an effect that starts with stimulating each other and easily ends up with competition and fighting each other. In the charts of Iris and Peter, Mars doesn't make major aspects in sign or orb 5 degrees. That contributes to the impact of the opposition between their Mars.

The positions on the day of birth show the conflict between the status of marriage and Iris Robinson falling in love (Venus 105 Uranus), but hidden (minor aspect). At least, it was hidden until the Lunar Eclipse.
