Corona Virus -
Solar Eclipse December 2019
Although I
expected some sort of economic downturn, the
pandemic was beyond what I could imagine.
Sadly, this has
brought about the worst of Pluto, Saturn, and
Jupiter in Capricorn. Capricorn is the sign of
business. Pluto is the planet of, among other
things, death. Saturn is the planet that brings
chickens home to roost. And Jupiter is the
planet that makes things bigger. Mother nature
is certainly not happy with the way humankind
has been treating the earth – and Capricorn is
an earth sign.
Many thought the
last solar eclipse on December 26, 2019 was
favorable as the eclipse conjoined Jupiter –
frequently seen as the optimistic planet of
prosperity. I had another interpretation in
looking at this. Jupiter also makes things
bigger – so if something is favorable; it gets
better, but if something is unfavorable, Jupiter
makes it worse.
This eclipse
occurred opposite the US Venus and Jupiter
conjunction in Cancer. Oppositions in mundane
astrology generally have to do with losing
power. I use the Gemini Rising chart for the
US. This chart puts Venus and Jupiter in the
money sector of the horoscope. Venus and
Jupiter represent, among other things,
prosperity. Many use the Sagittarius Rising
charts for the US instead of the Gemini Rising
chart – but either way the eclipse opposed Venus
and Jupiter.
In addition, the
eclipse, which conjoined the Nodal axis, had
Hades conjunct the North Node in Cancer. Hades
is a Uranian planet, which is like another
Pluto. It’s associated with disintegration,
sorrow, loss, and impoverishment. In Uranian
astrology, the Nodes are connected with the
public. This conjunction occurred in tenth
house for Washington DC. The tenth house
overlooks the rest of the chart. It represents
the head of state as well as the reputation of a
country.
The eclipse
chart relocated for New York City has planets
located in the same sectors of the chart, but
the North Node – Hades conjunction is even
closer to the Midheaven.
In addition,
this chart has the recently found planet Eris in
Aries in square aspects to Saturn and Pluto. In
mythology, Eris was the goddess of strife – and
is credited with starting the Trojan War.
While the corona
virus had already begun to spread in China at
the time of the eclipse, the Chinese government
did not report any deaths until January 10.
At first
President Trump dismissed the seriousness of the
virus, rather than preparing for an epidemic
here. But transiting Mars moved forward to
conjoin the eclipse point on February 22 and
Jupiter on February 23, and oppose the North
Node and Hades on February 28, there was no
longer any denying it. As transiting Jupiter
reached the eclipse Saturn on March 7 and Pluto
on March 15, the virus continued to spread. By
the time transiting Mars reached Saturn on March
16 and Pluto on March 19, a full blown pandemic
had been declared.
Just remember
that while the current shutdown affects all of
us, not everyone will be affected equally.
