On
August 21st of this year, the United States will witness its first total solar
eclipse seen across the totality of the country in nearly forty years. For
millennia, humans have gazed towards the skies in awe, observing that heavenly
bodies move regularly and predictably with mathematical certainty, and this has
inspired poets, philosophers, and other thinkers to ruminate on man’s
relationship to the universe, and the possibility that human activity is ruled
by laws and patterns independent of human activity.
Although
many of these ideas that were fashionable hundreds of years ago, such as
astrology, have been put to rest by contemporary scientific knowledge, perhaps
there is value to be gleaned from entertaining the possibility that there are
indeed larger forces and patterns governing human affairs. Against the backdrop
of this cosmically anomalous event, are we on the cusp of a more temporal form
of disruption this summer in the United States?
Eclipses tend to bring about endings and new beginnings. How
dramatic these changes can be and in what areas of our lives is a function of
star alignments and other aspecting planets occurring at the time of the
eclipse, and where they occur in our natal chart. They can have a far greater
effect in our lives when they conjoin other natal planets and personal points
by ±6°.
In mundane astrology, the affairs of a nation are often
judged using the horoscope of the ruler. The birthchart of Donald Trump as
provided by Astro-Databank [1] is reproduced here. An AA Rodden rating implies we can rely on the
accuracy of the data. The Ascendant i.e. First House cusp is 29le58. The solar eclipse of August 21 falls
at 28le52 with just a degree of his Ascendant. Conjunct his Ascendant is
his natal Mars [26le48].
Both the Ascendant and Mars are conjunct the stars Regulus
and Adhafera, Algieba , Al Jabhah in the Lion’s mane! Among other things the
Ascendant rules physical appearance – recall his much talked about hair style!! About the
stars in this area, Nick Fiorenza writes:
The head of the Lion is composed of several stars
and actually extends from Algenubi, the Eye of the Lion and Rasalas, which
marks the forehead of the Lion, which lie in late sidereal Cancer, to Adhafera,
the mane, and Algeibia, which conjoins Regulus, the Heart or essence of the
Leo. The Lion is looking from Leo back across the cusp into Cancer (much like
those on a performing arts stage would be looking toward their audience. Subra,
the front paw of the Lion lies on the cusp of sidereal Leo.
Adhafera, the Lion's main and Al Jabhah, Eta
Leo, conjoin the themes of Alphard, Suhail Al Muhlif, and the Pup-A Supernova
Remnant. Here we might think more in terms of what is hidden by the mane, the
brain or mind of the Lion, the Lion's persona and how the Lion thinks—perhaps
with a sense of aloneness yet with audacious confidence and pride. These stars
inspire prominence from a willingness to stand alone.
Alphard, Alpha Hydra, is the "Solitary
One." Alphard inspires us to step away from the comfort and security of
the accepted and agreed upon consensus defining our known reality, to walk a
lone path. It asks us to risk our reputations, our work, our lives, and our
beliefs, driven by the passion within our hearts, to find new answers to the
challenges that we face in out pursuits. Alphard, in conjunction with the head
and main of the Lion, is often of those who, for one reason or another, have
self-exiled themselves from the norm, who stand alone, or are willing to, yet
who create new ways that the masses would not otherwise pursue. http://www.lunarplanner.com/LunarMonths2014/lunarmonth.14.01.30.html
An eclipse in the first house strongly
involves a sense of self. You may experience a desire to firm up your stance by
claiming "I am" with self-defining acts or plans. In more extreme
cases, it might mean the end to an entanglement that's muddled your sense of
self.
Putting the pieces together, the eclipse falling on Trump’s
Ascendant can potentially release him from all the obstruction created by the
Deep State so that the “Lion” can pursue
new ways that others before him could
not. We can only hope that he is enlightened enough to go in the right
direction!
Enlightened enough... i think we have our answer, and had it.
