Part l is HERE
A few months after Trump took office, on August 21, 2017, there was a Solar Eclipse at 28 degrees Leo (a critical degree before the Aries point of 0 degrees Cancer) the media dubbed the 'Great American Eclipse'.
It was a total Solar Eclipse and spanned the entire contiguous United States from the Pacific to Atlantic Oceans - literally 'cutting the country in half'.
At one point 90% of Washington DC, the power center of the United States (and maybe it could be called the power center of the world) was 'eclipsed' out.
The symbolism probably couldn't have been any clearer.
Our ancestors would have offered sacrifices to the Gods to alleviate the calamities they would have expected to follow such a sight and their kings/leaders reinforced their security details - we got busy buying our Eclipse eyeglasses and finding a spot to watch the 'show'.
Trump himself, looked directly into it!
This particular eclipse was the first total Solar Eclipse visible only across the entire United States since the eclipse of 1776 - the year of this country's birth. Many astrologers think that the physical location where an eclipse is visible increases its impact on that location. The eclipse lasted for almost 2 minutes and 40 seconds. This would give the Eclipse an impact of 2 years and 8 months (through April 2020), and remember Eclipse influence works backward, too.
The next total Solar Eclipse over the United States, which will impact the entirety of North America - Canada, the United States and Mexico - will be on April 8, 2024.
The following is taken from my two-part post in August 2017:
"we have a President whose natal ascendant (many astrologers believe this to be the most important point in a natal chart) AND Mars are both conjunct 28 degrees Leo so the solar eclipse next week impacts Donald Trump's ascendant (his physical self) and natal Mars (war, action, violence, anger). This is bigly people. BIGLY.
The eclipse is also trining (brakes off) rebellious, chaotic and unpredictable Uranus (I have said before that Trump IS Uranus with the planet conjunct his natal Sun). It literally feels to me like he can do anything he wants to do with this energetic line up (or whatever is holding back his power from being eclipsed out is removed and he will be, too - impossible to know which is which).
For certain though the brakes are off something!
At the same time transiting Mars (war, violence) is conjuncting his natal Mars AND Trump was born on an eclipse making eclipses in general more impactful for him!
You can't make this stuff up folks.
The chance of this particular eclipse (total solar across the entire country) occurring at a time in our country's history (Pluto's impending return to its 1776 position) when it can so strongly influence the country's leader (via planets and points in his natal chart) would surely give it odds no Vegas bet maker would touch.
And yet, here it is.
He is the CATALYST for something here. Our avatar for this watershed moment in United States history. This is the entire reason he was elected. This is the entire reason he was even born.
The United States will be a different United States after Donald Trump and after this eclipse energy plays itself out over the next three years.
Trump is here to do the thing he is going to do, even if we (the people) do not like it.
(it could be his action here that leads to his demise as we "the people - represented by the Moon that eclipses him" decide this is not the way we define America, since America is approaching its Pluto return and in the midst of re-birthing itself and the last time we had an eclipse like this was when our country was born in 1776 - he could be the catalyst that brings us back together or finally breaks us apart AND he could just as easily be ruling the United States at this pivotal time to make the right decision as he could the wrong one).
It is the karma of the United States itself playing out here - and how well or how poorly we have lived up to the promises of our July 4th, 1776 birth chart."
These days my thinking on this has shifted a bit. I am not so much thinking 'our karma is playing itself out', although surely it is - but also that things that are born are also going to die and will have expiration dates, maybe even multiple expiration dates and maybe multiple means of expiration - built right into them, no matter how well or how poorly we work our blueprints. This isn't a bad thing. From the moment we are born we are in the process of dying and from the moment we die the process of being reborn. That is the nature of life here.
We talked in Part l about the Pandora/Wuhan landmine buried in the United States chart and its activation when transiting Pandora reached the United States natal Mars, because everything starts with a conjunction and Mars is a TRIGGER (and Trump's Sun/North Node/Uranus conjunction - a light on a chaotic future, being one of a dozen interpretations I can think of).
The Great American Eclipse was another landmine (remember we need to see multiple things, often three, that say the same thing in astrology before we know we are understanding it) - with its 28 degree Leo activation opposing the United States natal Moon (the people, in Aquarius) and firing up/funneling through Trump's natal Mars/Ascendant conjunction. Also, at the time of that 2017 Eclipse, asteroid Wuhan was conjunct Trump's natal Sun/North Node/Uranus conjunction and asteroid Pandora was exactly squaring the United States natal chart ruling Jupiter.
The posts about the Eclipse are HERE and HERE and definitely worth a look - both as a 2020 trigger point and as a reminder of Leo season (it's Leo season!), which feels a little lost in the shuffle this year.
We will look at a third TRIGGER (we will go back to 2012 for this one) and begin to look at the archetypes in part lll.
We are birthing a new nation and a new world and the birthing pains are ... well, painful.
In the meantime, we can look at what is going on in the world, because we don't want to hide from it, but we also need to stay plugged into our own life and limit the stuff that pulls us away from that.
Keep in mind it is Leo season and with Mercury (ruler of the North Node) in Leo now, too, if we don't prioritize our personal happiness and have some fun, we are going to feel burnt out and edgy.
Back tomorrow with the weekly. I know some of you I have heard from are missing the mysteries and I will get back to those this week, maybe we will do them on a different night than Saturday. I have also had quite a few emails asking me to re-look at Jeffrey Epstein's suicide chart (insisting he was murdered) and maybe we will look at his birth chart one day, but not his death chart again right now .... sorry.
