The last solar eclipse of the twentieth century happens on August 11, 1999. There's a grand cross of planets in the fixed signs of Aquarius, Scorpio, Leo and Taurus. These are the four beasts of the Apocalypse referred to in the Biblical Book of Revelation. A Sun and Moon conjunction in Leo opposes Uranus in Aquarius. Mars in Scorpio opposes Saturn in Taurus.
All planets square each other.
Mercury in Leo opposes Neptune in Aquarius. They both square Jupiter in Taurus. A total of 8 out of 10 planets are in fixed signs. Venus is retrograde and at its helical setting, where it disappears into the rays of the Sun. With this movement, Venus will no longer be visible as the Evening Star.
