about the chart of the
solar eclipse of 11/aug/99
by john bowen

thank you for the arizona wilder ill-uminati timetable. and **especially** for the positive corrections in brackets ('will try to' rather than 'will', etc.)

a few points first -

# the july 28th lunar eclipse is full, not new, moon.
# grand-cross is the usual name of 4 or more bodies making squares.
# in the montauk books, wasn't the 12th {of} august suggested as a key date for some reason or other ?
# i'm not sure what '... the House of Aquarius goes direct...' means. probably my lack of knowledge. i'm an amateur astrologer.
# i've printed off the chart of the eclipse, and very glad i did. here follow some rambling thoughts !

## i would use the technical term :O} 'a f***-off chart' for this one. the grand-cross is slightly skew, but the mars/saturn opposition is exact to one second **at totality**. but i don't think the entire chart is as negative as the article suggested. on study, ALL the bodies and points in the zodiac (bar the ascendant) are forming two distinct groups, or themes, with each body connected to the other bodies in it's group, and not connected to anything in the other group.

## the grand cross (sun/moon, mars, saturn, uranus, plus nodal and vertex axes) is one group. a grand-cross is thought to be a difficult, stifling, intense, unbalanced, or chaotic sort of energy.

## mercury, venus, jupiter, neptune, pluto, and chiron the other. trines, squares, an opposition, and quincunxes. in the geometry alone, the chart has a visual impact - you may hear of me as the next t-shirt millionaire !

## in contrast to the article, mercury bang on the MC {mid-heaven} at 0 degrees of leo i would say is very powerful, trining pluto & chiron - balanced thought, confidence, energy mastery, stability - possibly the power of the intellect and communication for healing and transformation.

## the mercury/neptune opposition forms a t-square with jupiter, possibly tending towards tunnel vision, lack of focus, stress, or fearfulness. a resolution/counterweight to this is the jupiter/venus trine - grace, compassion, love, faith in god. venus, the chart ruler (astrology program gives ascendant of 23deg 31min libra), square chiron and pluto, also forms an exact quincunx with neptune - possibly emotional deception, but also extremely powerful compassion and/or spiritual discipline.

## i'm not that well up on quincunxes, but there's another exact one between jupiter and the pluto/chiron midpoint. hugely powerful healing and transformation (?).

in addition to the aspects described above, there is a fairly tight undecimal (360 divided by 11 - 11th harmonic ) aspect between venus and mercury. this is not a widely used aspect, in fact it's almost totally neglected, but a book i trust defines it as very powerful. james and ruth williamsen in "an astrologer's guide to the harmonics" say they (11th harmonic aspects) describe the ability to integrate diversities and dualisms. and they don't come much more dualistic than this chart ! :O} :O}

this aspect is particularly interesting in that during totality, if the sky is clear, venus (to the left) and mercury (to the right) should be (VERY ?) visible on either side of the eclipse. possibly very beautiful.

also highly reminiscent of our left brain/right brain set up !

in jargon terms, the sun/moon conjunction is near to the mercury/venus midpoint. taking the sun as 'the individual', and the moon as the collective, it could be asking the human race to integrate properly the thought and feelings parts of our natures.

mars/saturn contacts generally being perceived as negative, and the most apparent symbol of the 'black t-shirts' in this chart, i did some reading. keywords include cruelty, difficulties, stop-go, sadism, destructiveness, but also the ability to achieve wisdom . one could say that darkness / the shadow / prisonwarder consciousness is forcing humanity to grow, or else face destruction. and with uranus (truth) opposing the sun/moon, it's "the truth that will set us free". now where have i heard that before ? :O}

also there is an exact sextile between neptune and the pluto/chiron midpoint. this confims the spiritual healing or transformation themes suggested above. sextiles represent opportunities - WE NEED TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN ! this aspect, with **both** points also contacting venus (love) and jupiter (divinity), seems to agree strongly with the alternative convergence of love proposed in your/aw's {Arizona Wilder's} article.

i am positive about this chart - the 'white t-shirt' bodies outnumber the black ones and have more aspects, of different types, between them. giving the potential for an energy victory/ supremacy.

crucially, the mars/saturn midpoint does NOT hit the conjunction. it is close, but outside the one degree normally used for midpoint analysis. but the sun/moon and uranus midpoint DOES hit both mars and saturn. suggesting perhaps that individuals working together, and sending love to the 4th dimensionals, could dismantle the control paradigm.

the clearest sign of negative goings-on is that mars/saturn does hit exactly the mercury/ venus midpoint. this could be described as power/ energy/ aggression (mars) and control/ restriction (saturn) attempting to divide/ separate/ pierce/ screw humanity's hearts and minds.

off to watch american gladiators now ! :O} :O}

love & light
