The above diagram shows the eclipses as it occurs in Washington DC. The degrees of the planets will be the same no matter which capital city (it is traditional to view a country by drawing up the chart for its capital) you draw it for. The four angles of the chart change in the Western diagram, and the lagna changes in the Indian diagram. The above diagram shows the tropial western chart with Placidus houses, the North Indian and the South Indian chart with Krishnamurti ayanamsha. I use true Nodes.
There are two eclipses every six months and the Lunar is on November 19 and the Solar on December 4. Below is information about eclipses in general and then the Lunar. Information about the solar will appear in the December News and Views. This lunar eclipse is an important eclipse because it is the day before President Biden's birthday. That means it is an important and pivotal year for him but also for our country, since the President represents our country, and for better or worse, what happens in the United States has ramifications throughout the world.
• Eclipses create energy, intensity, and they bring to light things that were otherwise hidden. It is important to see in which house the eclipse falls and especially if the eclipse falls on an angle, personal planet, or point in your chart then you will be directly affected by the eclipse. It will activate that point, bringing things to light that the planet or point represents, sometimes positively and sometimes negatively, and marks changes in your life of some degree, as if you have been awakened and something has been revealed. Something will be activated, confronted, and ultimately transformed for better or worse.
• During times of eclipses, secrets come to light and things get revealed especially during the two weeks between the eclipses. If your spouse or partner is having a secret love affair, or spending money on the side, it will come to light during eclipse season. If you make a business deal, or fall in love during eclipse season, be cautious since there are more things that will come to light as time passes. If you begin a relationship it is bound to have secrets attached to it so wait until a few weeks pass to declare your love.
• If the eclipse falls on or aspects a planet, point or angle in your chart you will be directly affected by the eclipse. Watch for the generic meaning of the planet, the house it rules, the house it occupies, and planets it conjoins or aspects, as they become part of the story. If they do not affect anything they still fall in a house.
•Because the Nodes must be near the Sun and Moon for an eclipse to form, the Nodes will always come to the degree of the eclipse either before or after. If the Node hits the eclipse point prior to the eclipse, then the Node will awaken what the eclipse will finish.
• If the eclipse occurs before the Node hits the eclipse point, then the eclipse will awaken what the Node will finish.
• If the eclipse hits a planet, point, or angle in your chart, the Node will also hit that point prior or after, so that is why it is important to look at this as an important transit that awakens something in your chart.
• If the eclipse does not hit a planet, point, or angle, look at the house that it falls in.
If you look at the current eclipse it is in tropical and sidereal Taurus so look where that is in your chart. See below for how you can find it simply. If it conjoins a point, planet, or angle in your chart with an orb of about one degree it means that if you have something between tropical 26-28 Taurus, or sidereal 2-4 Taurus then the eclipse will activate, bring to light and call attention to whatever that point or planet represents. But it is only the beginning since if you look above you will see that Mars reaches that point on December 9 and the North Node reaches that point on February 15, so this may not be an easy eclipse but it will force you to confront something that you have needed to deal with. Mars might make it more difficult, aggressive, or conflicting, but you will also have a lot of energy to make the house that it is in, and anything it touches come to the surface, and you will have between November 19 and around February 15 to complete that process. Remember that during this period there will be a solar eclipse on December 4, the Mars-Ketu (S. Node) conjunction on December 9, Venus retrograde from December 19-January 29, and Mercury retrograde from January 14-February 3 so this will not be smooth sailing. Things require effort but if you stick with it you will succeed.
President Biden's birthday is November 20 so this eclipse will be in his solar return (varshaphal) and will shape his year ahead with the next three months being his sink or swim moments. His tenacity will be tested again by many things on a professional level, as well as an inner personal level that we may not even be aware of. There may be other things that will affect the U.S. during the three months of November 19 and February because the leader of the country represents the country. That means that there might be other presidents who are in the news, other world leaders, and obviously more economic difficulties but they may see the light next March. And yes we can see that Algol, the star that represents rises and falls, is smack on this eclipse, however I don't think that this star and what many people have attested to it, should be taken as one overwhelming factor. These are just snippets. More about this will be explored in my year ahead webinar that you can read about below.
Always remember that eclipses wake up secrets and ideas that may be dormant, so you may get an influx of energy, but you have to be patient, since this is the time, to rearrange and transform your ideas and other things in your life. Take this time to figure things out since eclipses bring things to the surface. And they are not always bad. They can bring you promotions, contacts, and offers and this one will take time to develop. Take deep breaths and try not to give in to your anxiety and pessimism. Let peace and optimism take over and surround yourself with everyone you love.
The following will show you generally how you may be affected by the eclipse, if it hits something in your chart, and if you see which house is affected in your chart by tropical or sidereal Taurus then you will have a better idea of what area needs your attention over the next three months. If you succeed in that area, things will be transformed and that is the message of the eclipse. If not, you will continue where you are, and for many of you that might not be so bad!!!
If you use Indian astrology. If an eclipse degree conjoins or is opposite from a planet, point or angle in your chart, this is what may be awakened, activated, and transformed. If you have any of the following at 2-4 Taurus or 2-4 Scorpio, these areas may be affected.
Sun. power, vigor; Moon. maternal, mind; Mars. strength, courage; Mercury. speech, learning; Jupiter. knowledge, wealth; Venus. love, happiness; Saturn. sorrow, fear; Rahu. intensity, compulsion; Ketu. extremes, spirituality; Lagna. destiny, vitality.
If you do not know which houses sidereal Taurus-Scorpio occupy, look at your ascendant, or Moon, or even your Sun, and just count from there. The lunar eclipse will always affect the two opposite houses. General descriptions for bhavas (houses) are as follows:
1. appearance, destiny, temperament, personality, constitution; 2. Money, family life, food, speech, early childhood; 3. Siblings, Fine arts, courage, desires; 4. Mother, happiness, real estate, vehicles; 5. Children, romance, investments, speculation; 6. Open enemies, work, competition, obstacles, illness; 7. Marriage, partners, contracts, passion; 8. Life and death cycle, research, accidents, other's money, inheritance; 9. Father, teacher (guru), religion, higher learning, opportunity; 10. Career, status, public recognition, reputation; 11. Profits, rewards, gains from work, awards, older siblings; 12. spiritual practice, secret enemies, foreign travel, debt, confinement.
If you use tropical Western astrology. If an eclipse degree conjoins a planet, point or angle in your chart, this is what may be awakened, activated, and transformed. If you have any of the following at 26-28 Taurus or 26-28 Scorpio, these areas may be affected.
Sun. vitality, individuality, ego; Moon. emotions, habits, conditioning; Mercury. communication, intelligence; Venus. love, beauty, creativity; Mars. physical energy, aggression, courage; Jupiter. expansion, abundance; Saturn. limitation, disciplined, fear; Uranus. originality, independent, rebellious; Neptune. spiritual, immaterial, imagination; Pluto. intensity, power; North Node. power, place where you must strive; South Node. place where it is easy, habits; Ascendant. personality, destiny; IC. home, family, mother; Descendant. partnerships, contracts; Midheaven. career, father
If you do not know which house tropical Taurus-Scorpio occupy, look at your ascendan, or Sun, and just count from there. General descriptions for the houses are as follows:
1. personality, body, appearance; 2. finances, possessions, values. 3. communication, siblings, short journeys, learning; 4. family, mother, home; 5. children, recreation, entertainment; 6. health, service, pets; 7. marriage, contracts, partnership; 8. business transactions, sexuality, life and death matters; 9. higher education, travel abroad, publishing, law; 10. profession, status, father; 11. gains, friendships, hopes, dreams; 12. compassion, spirituality, limitations, solitude
