Annual Solar Eclipse 2012 May 20

Annual Solar Eclipse 2012 May 20

What did the Astrologers of Ninevah and Babylon say about Eclipses?  Omens from Eclipses;  I have not informed the king, my lord of the account of the eclipse with my mouth, I have not yet written, so I send to the king.  Of the eclipse, its evil up to the very month, day, watch, point of the light where it began and where the Moon pulled and drew off its eclipse—these concern its evil.  {Quoted from No: 268 of The Reports of the Magicians and Astrologers of Ninevah and Babylon in the British Museum, Part Two, by R. Campbell Thompson}.

When looking at an eclipse, you first want to look at the geographical area where it visible from, this is the region/s in which when located in a specific region are the most by the eclipses and the predictions.  Yet, as unlike in Ancient times there were only so many geographical areas in which they could directly affect, now today, we must look at how it affects one region and from what occurs how it will ultimately affect the nation and world.

Coming up this month on 2012 May 20 we will be having an Annual Solar Eclipse it will be visible from the NW part of the US over to Japan and both North and South Korea with it peaking at its maximum energy in the middle of the Bering Sea. It will be on a New Moon, Moon and Sun in Gemini, Gemini is the sign of humanity and this will bring many things to pass, I have not yet looked at all the calculations for this eclipse but it will affect humanity.

We begin by looking at the placement of the celestial Sun at the hour in which the eclipse begins and is at its greatest we have the celestial star, the Sun in the eighth house in Gemini with the Dragons Tail in retrograde, this is in a house in which we look at in mundane astrology as the house of: International finance, corporations and transnational corporations are associated with the 8th house. Foreign investments, death, public mortality, assassinations, death duties of officials, death arrangements and national mourning reside in the 8th house. It is possible that the 8th house can bring renewal, regeneration and new resolve to the populace after a time of grieving. The 8th house is opposite the 2nd, and therefore speaks of the “death of things a nation holds dear.”  

The second house which we will look at as well in if and how the nation will survive.  The second house in mundane astrology is House 2 represents society’s survival. Substance must be generated.  Food and materials representative of a growing economy are vital to a nation’s endurance.  Banks, all monetary instruments, wealth, the gross national product and distribution of wealth among the populace are associated with the second house.   Further, what society values, what it holds most dear is found in the second house. Also, the kind of people a society holds in high esteem is associated with the 2nd house.  The collective’s sense of security and of insecurity is often projected upon cultural icons. Generations’ and sub generations’ values clash in house 2.  Hence, we find the national “generation gap.”

The Sun at the time of the Eclipse as calculated to the NW will be in the 8th house at the beginning hour of 01:24 and ending at 01:28 with it at its maximum power at 01:26. The eighth house is associated to death and renewal, those things that are International finances, corporations and transnational corporations. This house is associated with foreign investments, death, public mortality, making arrangements for those who pass and all things that are in need of regeneration and a new resolve in a time of hardship and grieving. With this Eclipse it will affect the nation and all countries in this manner. As depending on where the calculations are derived from this eclipse is between 4 minutes and some seconds to 5 minutes and some seconds and it being on the angle of the west shall begin to show its effects in the third and fourth month according to Ptolemy and shall be most devastating in the third.

There will be a changing of laws, and those of old age shall pass, and a higher crime rate.

Because it is an air sign it will cause high waves in the Ocean, theft by sea, air borne toxins to cause issues with breathing, dry diseases, coughing, fevers, consumption, those who seek to misrepresent who they are in the Church and their evils brought into the light. High winds, and weather to change rapidly with no warning, thunder and lightning storms, earthquakes. Also a loss of plant and creature life that is beneficial to the human race.  Being in the first face of Gemini you will see stirring up of differences, strife’s, seductions among those who of the Priesthood and all manners of merchants and Secret Orders. You will see more contempt of laws and hatred toward others along with neglect of those things in which are required Clergy duties.  There will be more in the stories in the media about crimes revealed from within the Church.  Saturn is conjunct to Spica and this will bring showers and thunder in the weather.  In the first ten degrees of Gemini this threatens incursions and rapine of enemies; fraudulent negotiations, many treatises, violent petitions, many mischievous and employment for those who are writers, secretaries, and those who  communicate on behalf of others.  The nature of Gemini in this position is somewhat moist and temperate in heat by reason of some Saturnine and Jovial stars in Perseus.

This eclipse has the same planet and star placement as the Total Solar Eclipse from 2011 June 1, so I am including a link to that in this for reference.  Though this eclipse is shorter in time, it will have the same effects or expand on those effects as the one in 2011 June, read under Eclipses at http://afsanaydely.com/2011/04/15/partial-solar-eclipse-of-the-2011-june-1/.

Total Lunar Eclipse of the 2011 June 15

Total Lunar Eclipse of the 2011 June 15

By Ariana Clausen – Vélez, Reverend and HPs

03 May 2011

What did the Astrologers of Ninevah and Babylon say about Eclipses?  Omens from Eclipses;  I have not informed the king, my lord of the account of the eclipse with my own mouth, I have not yet written, so I send to the king.  Of the eclipse, it’s evil up to the very month, day, watch, point of the light where it began and where the Moon pulled and drew off its eclipse—these concern its evil.  {Quoted from No: 268 of The Reports of the Magicians and Astrologers of Ninevah and Babylon in the British Museum, Part Two, by R. Campbell Thompson}.

How does an Eclipse affect ones’ native chart?  An eclipses affect those individuals whose maps of birth have configurations similar to those at the time of an eclipse and who may also be living under a shadow of the eclipse, or if it is visible to them.

Again no effect of an Eclipse can be very good even though falling on the place of a benefic, but the evil effects ascribed to them are very probable.  The lord of an Eclipse being in a human sign, its evil effects will fall upon Mankind.

When looking at an eclipse, you firstly want to look at the geographical area in which it is seen from, this is the region/s in which will be affected mostly by the eclipses and the predictions.  Yet, as unlike in Ancient times there were only so many geographical areas in which they could directly affect, now today, we must look at how it affects one region and from what occurs how it will ultimately affect the nation and world as a whole.

Double body figure or human signs threaten matter to Kings, and all those persons in power.  The Moon is in Sagittarius and this is known as a double figure or a human sign and has the same nature as Gemini in an Eclipse.  When an Eclipse is in a human sign it is extremely significant to mankind.  The greater the defect is, and the stronger the principal ruler or rulers of the Eclipse are, so much more famous and eminent are the effects of the Eclipse.

The Moon is in Fall, so this undoubtedly shows that the Eclipse shall be more intense in it nature and events in which shall arise from this Total Lunar Eclipse.

When we look at the Total Lunar Eclipse on the 15th of June we are in the Southern Hemisphere and the regions in which will see this are from South America, the Caribbean Sea, all of Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Turkey, Afghanistan, Australia, India and Asia. The time range of this eclipse is nearly six hours in length, beginning at 17:24 being at totality at 19:21, at its maximum at 20:11 and ending at 21:01 with the final exit of the total lunar eclipse ending at 22:59.  The Lunar Eclipse will last for five and a half hours from beginning to end; this showing the effects of this eclipse will begin manifesting itself in 2011 November.

In creating this chart I am calculating my reading from Charlottetown, Canada at the hour of 20:13:37, which is on the Northern East Coast of Square Island off of Labrador Sea.  The Moon is Full on this night and it rises at the hour of 20:14, so it will be just coming up over the horizon.

Total Lunar Eclipse

We begin by looking at the placement of the celestial Moon at the hour in which the eclipse begins and is at its greatest we have the celestial star, the Moon in the first house at 26° Sagittarius 06’ and is with the Ascendant and this location of the Eclipse indicates that the effects of the Eclipse will begin anywhere from one to four months following the Eclipse.  The Moon is Fast and in Fall.  When the Moon is in Fall this intensifies the nature of the Eclipse.

In mundane astrology the First house is of:  The First House:  The first house of a nation’s chart (in the USA’s case, the chart for the Declaration of Independence¹) is the most important. The collective is stronger than the individual and is therefore considered to be fated. National myths, a nation’s self-image, characteristics of the populace, and the evolution of a nation combine to form the archetypes of the national collective unconscious. From this point of view, groups are swept along cyclic tides often foreshadowed by eclipses, lunations and ingresses. The group, bonded to the whole, lacks the self-criticism of the individual. When a nation undergoes psychic infection, then war, dictatorships and dissolution of the “state” in favour of a new identity may occur. Map boundaries shift and change. History is most often written by the conqueror. Not the conquered.

The Seventh House:  International relations with other countries: treaties and alliances, wars, truces, the United Nations and her members, and designated “enemies” are associated with the 7th house. This is also the house of “projection.” What does a nation project upon its enemies? Often times, as in natal astrology, what a nation projects is its disowned neurosis or psychosis.

In this Eclipse we have the Moon which is conjunct with the Head of the Dragon and near the Ascendant which signifies unto the nation, war, famine, plague tumult (turbulent uprising and riots, violent and noisy crowds of people), murders of important persons and those who are of power.  The events shall begin from one to four months following the eclipse and the effects shall remain for five whole and one half months and with the Moon being fast these events shall come without warning and with swiftness.  However, when we look at the time of the Eclipse in which it rises above the horizon following the setting of the Sun, this indicates very small, or but weak effects of an Eclipse.

                Agrippa says this about the Head of the Dragon “They made also the image of the Head of the Dragon of the Moon, namely betwixt an Arial and fiery circle, the likeness of a serpent, with the head of a hawk tied about them, after the manner of the great letter Theta, and they make it with Jupiter with the Head obtained the midst of heaven, which image they affirm to avail much for the success of petitions, and would signify by this image a good and fortunate genius, which they would represent by this image of a serpent”.

Jupiter being alone in the ruling of the Eclipse, Jupiter being the planet that rules Sagittarius shows increase in all things and where man is represents signifies glory, fertility, tranquility, peace, every man thrives and gains in wealth, each man will enjoy good health and a quiet mind, favours and gifts from those of stature and Governments, this positions is the cause of all good things.  There will be a multiplication of all living creatures which are beneficial to man and promises destruction to those creatures who are not and are seen as hurtful to man.  In the air it signifies good temperature, windy, moist and inclining to showers.  It indicates nourishment for all procreated from or feeding off of the fruits of the Earth.  Merchants and the people of the Sea will find the waters and their travels to be safe without the fear of pirates.  Rivers shall show more moderate flooding and plenty for all man shall appear.  There is an increase in Religious and those attending in the Church and in Old Religion, with great honours passed onto them by their Elders.  It also indicates Ministers grow proud and haughty (this is dangerous) in religion.  There will be an increase in laws executed and increases in Upright Judges/Justices are employed in States.   The people will see new customs and privileges allowed them, and all things new in Corporations and Honours and more shall be seen.

We must also look at the decan, or the face of the sign in which the eclipse is in, it is in the third decanate of Sagittarius, and this indicates a plague (this can indicate any type of infection unto man, today) that will follow and great evils will afflict all of mankind, consumptions (tuberculosis) more than ordinary, this is an infection of the lungs, and Jupiter rules the lungs.  The third decanate is of many evils.

The image of the third face of Sagittarius according to Agrippa is; a man like in colour to gold, or an idle man playing with a staff; and the signification of this is in following our own wills, and obstinacy in them, and in activeness for evil things, contentions, and horrible matters.  He is that of the nature of Jupiter and Saturn.

While we see here an increase we too much watch for the matters in which threaten the Kings and those persons in positions of power, as these will occur in the first house with the Moon in Fall, and in the West in the 7th house we will see the change in that of laws, customs, contentions, law-suits, quarrels, wars, the death of aged men, and slaughter and bloodshed through war, which is indicated in the first house, as I so stated in the first paragraph of this section.

Fixed Stars and Astro-Meteorology

Wega is with Saturn and this shows strong passions, opinionated, original, many Mercurial difficulties, reputation suffers through wrongful accusations, trouble with superiors, domestic difficulties, and sudden death/s.  This in Astro-Meteorology shows the weather to be that of moist and cloudy with snow and rain.  This is relevant as this is the nature in the first house and along with the nature of the Moon will reveal more into our reading.

Weather in Jupiter is moderately humid and warm and when in conjunction w/Saturn or a sign in which is ruled by Saturn (Capricorn), he is very watery, this creating lightening, thunder, inundation as Capricorn is in conjunction with a fire sign, the Moon which is in Sagittarius.  Then looking at the tenth house where we have Saturn in Libra it shows the weather patterns to be combustible, infortunate of light (cloudy and dark skies), and with cold winds.

As with the eclipse prior to the 2011 June eclipses, the Winter Solstice Total Lunar Eclipse was also in a Gemini Moon and in the eighth house the house of death and destruction, the house in which is ruled by the Lord of Scorpio, Mars denoting destruction to earth through high winds, high seas and more as we are now seeing today.  This shall continue on for approx 4 to 6 more years.

Partial Solar Eclipse of the 2011 June 1

Partial Solar Eclipse of the 2011 June 1

By Ariana Clausen – Vélez, Reverend and HPs

15 April 2011

What did the Astrologers of Ninevah and Babylon say about Eclipses?  Omens from Eclipses;  I have not informed the king, my lord of the account of the eclipse with my own mouth, I have not yet written, so I send to the king.  Of the eclipse, its evil up to the very month, day, watch, point of the light where it began and where the Moon pulled and drew off its eclipse—these concern its evil.  {Quoted from No: 268 of The Reports of the Magicians and Astrologers of Ninevah and Babylon in the British Museum, Part Two, by R. Campbell Thompson}.

When looking at an eclipse, you firstly want to look at the geographical area in which it is seen from, this is the region/s in which will be affected mostly by the eclipses and the predictions.  Yet, as unlike in Ancient times there were only so many geographical areas in which they could directly affect, now today, we must look at how it affects one region and from what occurs how it will ultimately affect the nation and world as a whole.

The areas in where the Partial Solar Eclipse will be visible in the Antarctic region of the Northern Hemisphere, during the hours of 19:25 when the Eclipse begins and ending at the hour of 23:06, for the Partial Solar Eclipse I will be calculating from Nuuk, Greenland which is directly in the centre of where the eclipse will be visible.   The other areas in which will have access to viewing this eclipse are Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Russia, Northern Alaska, Northern Canada, North Korea, China, Victoria Island and those areas in which are furthest north.  With the temperatures like they are that far north there will most likely be the Aurora Lights visible at the same time of the Eclipse.

Why does the time matter in an eclipse?  Because, when we look at the Solar Eclipse and the predictions are determined on how long before the effects shall begin and by how long they shall last by the hours to years for the events and effects to last for the solar eclipse, and for the lunar eclipse the hours determine how many months prior that events and the effects will take to begin.  In looking at this we will begin seeing the effects from these eclipses for up to six years and for the second one we won’t see anything begin to happen for about three to five months.  While the events and effects from the Eclipse that occurred at the Winter Solstice in 2010 are now beginning to unfold on the human race.

We begin by looking at the placement of the celestial Sun at the hour in which the eclipse begins and is at its greatest we have the celestial star, the Sun in the eighth house in Gemini with the Dragons Tail in retrograde, this is in a house in which we look at in mundane astrology as the house of: International finance, corporations and transnational corporations are associated with the 8th house. Foreign investments, death, public mortality, assassinations, death duties of officials, death arrangements and national mourning reside in the 8th house. It is possible that the 8th house can bring renewal, regeneration and new resolve to the populace after a time of grieving. The 8th house is opposite the 2nd, and therefore speaks of the “death of things a nation holds dear.”  

The second house which we will look at as well in if and how the nation will survive.  The second house in mundane astrology is House 2 represents society’s survival. Substance must be generated.  Food and materials representative of a growing economy are vital to a nation’s endurance.  Banks, all monetary instruments, wealth, the gross national product and distribution of wealth among the populace are associated with the second house.   Further, what society values, what it holds most dear is found in the second house. Also, the kind of people a society holds in high esteem is associated with the 2nd house.  The collective’s sense of security and of insecurity is often projected upon cultural icons. Generations’ and sub generations’ values clash in house 2.  Hence, we find the national “generation gap.”

 Fixed Stars and Astro-Meteorology, The fixed stars with the Sun, Moon and the Dragons Head are important for many reasons.  The fixed stars within planets or stars themselves can cause effects of either malefic or benefic natures and they are the cause for many Meteorology predictions and used by farmers today.

Looking at the stars for the hour of when the Eclipse will be at its most powerful placement we see five fixed stars are all in Gemini and when looking at this we have many effects in which will be influenced by their placements in the planets and with the celestial star/s the Sun and Moon.

We have Aldebaren with the Sun and Moon; the nature of this fixed star is not only with the stars, but too with what we call Astro-Meteorology.   When looking at this placement we will be seeing person with great energy and perseverance along with high material honours, yet danger of losing such honours, danger from many quarrels and the law, honour and riches ending in disgrace or ruin, liable to disease, fevers, and violent death/s.  This is not only on a personal level, but having this type of fixed star placement in an Eclipse which is a worldwide event this shows of such things happening on a national level.  The reason for this is because the Sun, Moon and the Dragons Head are all in the eighth house at the time of the Eclipse; this is the house of death to things in the nation.  When we see Aldebaren with the second celestial star the Moon again we see danger of calamity, yet favourable for domestic and public religious matters, it again has the nature of violent death/s.

In the rising we have Antares with its own planet Mars, this denotes turbulent, windy and often sultry weather, and when with the rising it shows violence, sickness and benefits that
seldom last.  Then with Mars it denotes, detrimental habits that will powerfully affect the ones or the nations’ life, quarrels with friends and relatives, fairly favourable for gain.  As Aldebaren is with the Moon this portends many losses of life in death by the sword and or hanging/s.

Then looking at Bellatrix with the celestial stars the Sun and the Moon, shows here that we shall expect effects of vacillating, changeable, indecisive in business, mechanical ability, riches and honour but final ruin, blindness by accidents, disease, extreme sickness, fevers and violent death/s.  Then we see lust, vanity, and ambition, waste and ruin, blindness by accident/s, great power, honour and wealth, honour in marital matters as a soldier, surgeons, metal workers, and possible attainment of distinction through courage.

We then look at Betelguese and here again we have some of the exact same effects, yet we see a greater interest in occult matters globally, we shall see acute disease/s, more fevers, honour and preferment but with final ruin.  We see active minds, strong wills, turbulent rebellious under restraint, military success but with suffering through quarrels with authority and superiors, likelihood of great power.  This is a dangerous nature for anyone who is in power within the Military whose only goal to see the destruction of humanity through harming other cultures for their own benefit.

Finally we look at the nature of Capella with the celestial star of the Sun and Moon.  Again with many of the same effects, lose of sight due to accident/s, domestic disharmony, inquisitive, quarrelsome, sarcastic, many journeys and voyages, quick in speech and misunderstandings and criticized martial honour and wealth, vacillating {a moving one way and the other; a wavering}, changeable, being too loquacious {talkative, tending to talk too much; wordy}.

An eclipse of either of the light {Solar or Lunar} in the airy triplicity shows famine, most violent and fierce sicknesses, pestilence diseases, air born diseases and poisoning, stormy
and high winds, very prejudicial to mankind, and the blowing down of trees from their roots and a high amount of homes as well.

This particular Partial Solar Eclipse is one of these eclipses.

When in Gemini and eclipse threatens destruction to flying fouls {passenger/s behaving badly}, unto such especially, which men eat or feed upon, whereby many men come to a
sudden death.  The Sun is in the second face of Gemini and this portends, many being victims of pirates at sea and murdered, many fruitless treaties, many turbulent petitions preferred by the people to their superiors.  Gemini being ruled by Mercury is a violent nature and portends a great many evils upon mankind.  He, Gemini declares in all human affairs celebrities, industry, craft and subtlety in performing what is then upon the stage of the world.  He shows the highways obstructed with thieves and the seas with pirates.  He causes shortness of breath and to fetch ones’ breath is difficult and when he is joined with his Infortunates as he is in this eclipse, he signifies dry diseases, Quotidian Fevers, consumption {tuberculosis}, alterations in ceremonies, heresies and schemes in Religion, detriment in Revenues of Kings and countries, the nobles and gentry of a Kingdom.  He is great in causing controversies in customs, laws and privileges of the people and all of this according to the nature of his planet.

In nature and the nature of Gemini, air himself is dry and swift, and always in motion near unto the Sun.  He produces inordinate high winds, sudden tempests quickly changing, thunder and lightning which too is the nature of Sagittarius with Jupiter as its ruling planet, which is directly opposite of Gemini.  He is known for the opening of the earth, Earthquakes of violent behavior and destruction; in regarding to his properties his are the effects of destruction to plants and living creatures.

We now look at the placement of the celestial star the Sun, he sits in the eighth house {the Lord of this house is Mars and is a house of water}, this showing underwater earthquakes and volcanic activity both under the sea and above the Earth.  This is which as I stated above is the house of death, national and global losses and death/s and more.

The Moon and the Dragons Head are in conjunction to the Sun, this putting the Sun in fall.  When the Sun is in fall, this is a malefic placement and shows that death by assignation/s shall occur, on a global level, businesses will struggle and there shall be many public ruins, disease to humanity as the Sun is in Gemini which is a human sign, plague, poisoning, acute diseases to the lungs {as we have the Dragons Tail directly across from the eighth house in retrograde in Sagittarius} Gemini being the first of the air signs the diseases will occur from air systems or from high winds, just as the case of Japan, which would have been a prediction from the Winter Solstice Total Lunar Eclipse as the Moon was in Gemini and it would have been the sign of airborne poisoning.

As with the eclipse prior to the 2011 June eclipses, the Winter Solstice Total Lunar Eclipse was also in a Gemini Moon and in the eighth house the house of death and destruction, the house in which is ruled by the Lord of Scorpio, Mars denoting destruction to earth through high winds, high seas and more as we are now seeing today.

This shall continue on for approx 4 to 6 more years.
