He looked at me as he was going to kill me and mumbled something like: Well, you will see... tried to frighten
me about it. (Some people seem to take this issue very serious)

Well, I don't know the answer but it does interest me a lot. I read the book from Bernadette Brady called"predictive astrology". Apparently she studied eclipses and their cycles a lot. There is a long section of her bookthat just deals with the different types of them. Some don't sound that bad or could even bring someinteresting changes.
There is also a book from Bill Meridian about them. I just ordered it. He is also someone who does a lot ofinvestigation into eclipses.
From a symbolic point of view something get's darkened, but it seems more like in the sense of puttingemphasis on something. Part of the last eclipse (4.1.2011) did happen in northern africa where we have
revolutions now. Is this bad? I don't think so. They revolting against dictators which ruled them for a longtime.

Usually come inlunar/solar pairs. A solar eclipse can be seen as a volatile new moon, a lunar eclipse as a volatile full moon. IPosts: 900

took photos under the light of a solar eclipse, once. To me, eclipses seem to be something of a leap across adangerous abyss, the wild cards. And things are not as they seem.

Its a climactic and orcrisis point just as any lunar phase is but only more significant.

« Reply #7 - on: 26.03.2011 at 01:19 [UT] »This is why I don't use them. When I first learned astrology and began studying eclipses my teachers had
nothing good to say about their effects and therefore I decided I wouldn't "go there" - I prefer to deal with the(at least intend) energies and situations I feel we have SOME control over....some possibility that something wePosts: 17033

do in any particular situation may have a positive effect.
For me, eclipses are situations of absolute helplessness in the face of nature.
We can only (supposedly) have some sort of control over our response to the force of nature, whatever it is.
So I deal with the 90% of that which I can help with and leave the rest to God.

unless they were in very close orb to my angles, progressions (including solar arcs) and natal planets (especiallymy natal A and B). However, thus far they have not been dire even with "hard aspects and progressions".

BTW: I was born at night but not last night" lol (meaning, I'm almost older than dirt).
What has seemed to be operating is the A's role acting as a "trigger" in a Lunar or Solar Eclipse when someevents have occured (mostly at the first o or opposition to the eclipse point. Otherwise, they (eclipes) have"operated" like any other transit of the A and B in their daily and monthly cycles (when they are not aspecting
anything in a chart).
I do have my MC at 13a and IC 13g and the January 4, 2011 Solar Eclipse at 13j was o these two angles. I
also have a very powerful Solar arc J in the close neighborhood (within 30 seconds of 13 degress cardinal.
So, right now as we "chat" Transit F is exactly conjunct natal MC, and I'm (more or less) anticipating the newmoon of April 3, 2011 at 13a (I do have some very good "ideas and reasons for " about the possible
manifestations and or events, and I'm not worried).

Many years ago a fellow astrologer in Sydney did some research on those who had won large amounts ofPosts: 2541
Gender:money in lottos. She found that a consistent factor was an eclipse activating their natal chart within threemonths either side of the win. She never published her research and has since died, which is a pity because it
was quite extensive.
With one client the only indication of an important move to another location was an eclipse on her Ascendant
or IC (I forget which because it was some years ago).
Many people are quite responsive to an eclipse and these are rarely negative. For example:
a total solar eclipse on my 5th house Mars heralded the birth and conception and birth of two of my children;a partial solar eclipse on my South Node was active at my first talk at my first international conference; anannular eclipse on my Ascendant heralded my move to Sydney;a total eclipse opposite my Mercury heralded the birth of my first grandchild;a total solar eclipse on my IC heralded my move to a new place, where I still reside; ... and so on.
The negative ones were:A partial solar eclipse opposite my Saturn heralding the Darwin cyclone where my daughter died.
An annular solar eclipse opposite my Moon heralded the death of my father.
A total solar eclipse opposite my Jupiter heralded the death of my mother.
So perhaps it would be a good idea to go through the eclipses in your lives and see what actually happened,
this should dispel quite a bit of gloom and doom.
Solar Fire offers this facility in their Dynamic menu. You can click 'Dynamic' -then 'Eclipse Search' - then Solar
Eclipses-then 'find only eclipses with aspects to radix chart'. Under aspects choose 'Harm02' and make sure theorb is only 3 degrees.
Eclipses can be excellent markers for important events in the life and powerful triggers for transits, but the typeof events they trigger depends upon several other factors.

Other people who embrace changes can feel the energy shifting beforehand and perhaps don't react in suchextreme ways, although the death of a child is an extreme event in anyone's life and I certainly couldn't predictthat one ahead of time - no way to brace for events such as that.
I watch them carefully and understand that anything that happens when an eclipse impacts my chart (angles,natal and progressions) is something I must bow to as inevitable.

Alice - another poster here (tranquil) said I'd have some eclipses affecting my 2nd house in the next few years.
I have Jupiter in the 8th, and IIRC there is an upcoming solar eclipse on June 1. Any reason to worry or believea similar fate might befell me in terms of my mother?
