The upcoming Capricorn Solar Eclipse on December 26th at 4 degrees is conjunct Jupiter and trine Uranus, leading to optimistic predictions of bountiful rewards. Though Jupiter isn’t always positive in mundane astrology since its expansive tendency will amplify good and ill alike.
However in the interests of festive cheer another Jupiterian Solar Eclipse around in mid-1954 in Cancer coincided with the birth of rock n’ roil, Bill Haley and Elvis’s first single. So there should be some good-news spin offs and plus points.
The Saros Series of this particular Eclipse, according to Bernadette Brady, does coincide with the sudden ending of an association or a relationship with a large emotional component and a sense of traumatic transformation. Which certainly fits Brexit. Previous occurrences of this eclipse series:
December 2001 – aftermath of 9/11, the Afghan War, Enron bankruptcy – that was accompanied by a much more aggravated Saturn square Mars, and opposition Pluto.
December 1983 – not much stands out.
23 November 1965 – Southern Rhodesia declared illegal independence from the UK (UDI). That had the Eclipse inconjunct Jupiter.
12 November 1947 – horrific Eclipse in Scorpio square Mars Saturn Pluto – Partition massacres on the India sub-continent; Brits withdraw from Palestine. Princess Elizabeth marries.
1 November 1929 – aftermath of Stock Market Crash, two days before. Palestinian riots. That had the Eclipse inconjunct Uranus, and a destructive Mars trine Pluto.
This December 26th Eclipse chart also has the Saturn Pluto conjunction less than two degrees to exact in sextile to Mars in Scorpio, so there will be challenges and heavy tensions as well. It will spark off the UK, Germany and EU Capricorn Suns; as well as the USA Jupiter Venus in Cancer – so a challenging time which could include crises in the months following because of the imperative to change. If change is resisted then force majeure kicks in and it happens in a much messier fashion. The USA’s Venus involvement could point to an emotional upset and feeling unloved. The eclipse opposing the USA Jupiter may bring up trust issues and disappointment.
It will be especially on point for Washington since it puts the Eclipse and Jupiter closely conjunct the IC – planets on the angles always indicate major events in that location. Located to North Koreas it puts an aggressive Mars on the Descendant. And also Iran with Mars Midheaven when located there.
The following Lunar Eclipse on 10 January 2020 at 19 degrees Capricorn is opposition the Saturn Pluto conjunction so will be powerful, potent and perhaps destructive or at the very least sombre in mood and restrictive. It’s very keyed up for Washington with Mars conjunct the Descendant and North Korea with Mars conjunct the Ascendant. And very close to Trump’s Saturn Venus in Cancer.
Any thoughts on the upcoming Eclipse this weekend Marjorie and its effects on Countries it goes through?
And/or maybe you have covered it already?
It came to me this morning, these eclipses hit William and Kate’s charts, I wonder what’s in store for them? Perhaps lots more high profile to deflect from the Andrew stuff
Thanks Marjorie. I noticed that the 1900 chart for the Labour Party has Saturn at 3 Capricorn. In 1983 Labour suffered a very serious defeat in the summer election, and then went into leadership elections of its own. Neil Kinnock became leader. Haven’t checked the other years. Anyway, seems to mirror what’s happening now to Labour.
I noticed the conjunction of Saturn/Pluto in Capricorn last occurred at 4 degrees Capricorn in 1518. Another period of titanic power struggles. Wondering if this eclipse will reflect some distant echoes.
North Node was at 4 Capricorn at the time of the 1284 Saturn/Pluto conjunction as well.
Thanks Marjorie. I have the same Jupiter as the USA (trine Venus and Uranus) and I’m not feeling all that festive at the moment (trying!). The lunar eclipse is on my MC, last time I had one of those in 2009 two things happened – redundancy and pregnancy (no thanks!). Thinking about it, that eclipse had a much bigger effect than the Pluto transit that followed. Boris Johnson has the reverse axis to me with a 12 Cancer MC, though this may be a little wide for the eclipse (just realised it’s conjunct the USA and NHS Suns, might both seal the fate of his reputation?)
Jupiter represents the fed. Some charts from other sites definitely show fed reserve intervention since october.
as for kim or trump, I thought it was a ‘ relationship with a strong emotional component”: ending of somebody or something who the world will miss.
Now, who (whom?) would miss Little Rocket Man…or the Big Bully?
Marj, doesn’t Washington, DC have a ZONE which is +5…..you used GMT 0 ZONE for Wahington???
I initially drew up for London and then relocated it – which if you had checked comes to the same result. It just didn’t change the time zone on the strap line.
