Solar Eclipse
December 2019
Iranian Attack
The year starts with Mercury, Jupiter, South
Node of the Moon, Sun, Ceres, Saturn, and Pluto
all in Capricorn. It is extremely unusual to
have so many planetary positions so close
together, and extreme alignments usually portend
extreme conditions.
Right now, we are between eclipses. The solar
eclipse occurred on December 26, 2019. The lunar
eclipse will occur on January 10, 2020.
While many considered the December 26 eclipse
favorable as it occurred conjunct Jupiter, it
also conjoined the fixed star Polis, which
according to Vivian Robson combines the nature
of Mars and Jupiter. That gives the planetary
configuration more war-like tendencies.
This chart also has an exact conjunction between
North Node and Hades in Cancer, which conjoins
the Washington, DC Midheaven and opposes the
Capricorn planets. Hades, like Pluto, has a dark
connotation and is associated with breakdown and
loss.
The effect of eclipses can occur before the
actual eclipse takes place and extend afterward.
The impeachment
proceedings fit with this eclipse, as does the
increase in violence and anti-Semitic attacks
worldwide, but particularly in New York City.
Ceres (which I look at as Mother Earth) in this
eclipse and the upcoming one also portends
damage to the earth, as can currently be seen by
the fires in Australia.
The next lunar eclipse occurs on January 10,
2020. The Moon will appear larger than normal in
the sky because the eclipse occurs close to the
Moon’s perigee (its closest point to the Earth).
This is also likely to enhance its effect.
Planets involved in this eclipse include a
stellium in Capricorn, including Jupiter, the
Sun, Mercury, Ceres, Saturn, and Pluto, opposite
the Moon in Cancer, which form squares to the
recently discovered planet Eris. Eris is
described as the planet of strife and the
trouble maker of the Zodiac. (She is credited
with having a hand in starting the Trojan War.)
Mars in Sagittarius also forms a semi-square to
the eclipse, adding to its
volatility.
Saturn and Pluto conjoin exactly on January 12,
but are certainly close enough now to
dramatically affect world events. That this
conjunction occurs on the heliocentric nodal axis
of Saturn makes it even more powerful. (The
opposition of Saturn and Pluto in 2001 coincided
with the attack of the World Trade Center.)
The attack by Iranian forces on the US Embassy
in Baghdad, and the US response, an airstrike
that killed Iranian Quds Force commander Qasem
Soleimani in Baghdad, certainly fits with the
current planetary environment. Adding fuel to
the fire, heliocentrically, Mars at 5 Scorpio
was opposite Uranus at 5 Taurus, and Saturn and
Pluto were conjoined at 22 Capricorn when the
attack occurred.
Unfortunately, given the planetary
configurations coming up, we can expect similar
occurrences to continue.
