即使我被碾成粉末，我也會用灰燼擁抱你。－劉曉波

劉曉波在今天（13/Jul2017）去世，我不知道在中國會有多少人知道他是個什麼樣的人，但是對我來說它是一位永不沈默的英雄，為了中國的民主奮戰至死的鬥士。

我一直期待他能夠到西方接受治療，當他死去的消息傳出之後，我忍不住打開的占星軟體跑了他的恆星共軸報告，讀著這些恆星敘述著他的故事，而他的靈魂也回歸到星光的懷抱。我決定寫下這些恆星與他的故事來跟大家分享。

偕日昇降星熱情執著與衝撞

他的偕日昇星是位於天蠍座心臟的Antares（天蠍座的α星）這一顆星因為火紅的顏色而被稱為火星的敵人，象徵著熱情與不妥協的執著，也是四顆所謂的波斯皇家之星之一，象徵著榮耀但是這一個榮耀同時兼具著一個挑戰，是否願意放下自己的執著，偕日昇星是在地下世界待了一陣子之後在某天日出之前回到天界的恆星，象徵著靈魂的指導，揭示了我們來到這世上的目的，Antares對自己來到這世界的目的抱持著強烈的熱情與執著，因此而取得榮耀卻也可能因為執著而受盡挑戰。而我們都知道他對於民主與人權的堅持至死都不曾妥協。

在2009年十二月，他因為因為煽動顛覆國家政權罪被審判時，在法庭上遞交陳述的文章「我沒有敵人—我的最後陳述」當中即對他深愛的妻子劉霞說「即使我被碾成粉末，我也會用灰燼擁抱你。」當2010年諾貝爾獎頒發和平獎給他時，他未能到場，這一篇文章透過挪威籍女演員Liv Ullmann念出。

不僅如此，天蠍座的α星也在土星位於下降時共軸於西方的地平線上，他的土星與冥王四分，這一組共軸描繪了因為他的堅持批判，在晚年仍被囚禁至死仍沒有獲得自由。

El Nath 是位於金牛座牛角的恆星（金牛座 β 星），則是劉曉波的偕日降星，偕日降星作為我們面對生活挑戰的指導方式，也是我們執行偕日昇星的方式。我想，沒有人會想要站在牛角之前，而此一恆星就有著「衝撞」的特色，這也是他面對人生的態度，毫無所懼的去衝撞，去批判。

誰也阻止不了他批判

劉曉波的一生至少入獄四次，1989年因為參與天安門學運被捕入獄之後他丟掉了大學講師的工作，每一次的發言與批判換來的是囚禁，但是這仍然無法阻擋他對於追求中國人權與更民主中國的熱誠。誰也無法阻擋他對於政權的批判，在他共軸的恆星當中幾乎所有與批判、攻擊的恆星都出現在名單上，象徵著建設性批判位於天蠍座螫的M6星雲 Aculeus與他的太陽一同生起，象徵著攻擊性批判的Acumen 另一天蠍座螫的M7星雲則與冥王星共軸，獵戶座搞舉武器的右手Betelgeuse （獵戶座α星） 與月亮一起高掛中天,而他出生那天太陽升起時，象徵衝撞羊角的牡羊座α星 Hamal則在下中天象徵著他人生的態度與身後留給人們的印象。

荊棘皇冠

劉曉波在全世界追求自由與民主的人的心中佔有一個地位，他為了追求民主而下獄，甚至最後犧牲了生命，如果你問我對他的記憶，我會說在天安門事件時他身為大學講師站出來加入學生絕食的行列，並且在血洗之前他與鎮壓部隊談判爭取時間，將大部分的學生勸離天安門，減少了當時犧牲的學生人數，卻成為中國政府逮捕的首要對象，象徵著蛇髮女妖頭部的Alogol（ 英仙座β 星）與月亮還有水星甚至火星共軸，在恆星的定義當中，不僅有著執著熱情的象徵，同時也的確象徵著因為自身或他人的選擇而陷入災難之中。

如同諾貝爾評審頒給他和平獎的理由「長期的以非暴力的方法爭取中國的人權」，這一個理由卻也是他後半輩子深陷囹圄的理由，如同一頂荊棘的皇冠，是榮耀也是傷痛，Diadem后髮座的α星位於下中天時，他的金星在下降點的位置。這一個恆星述說著一位犧牲自己生命的希臘皇后的故事，是一顆不是爭取自身榮耀去付出與犧牲而換得他人福祉的恆星。

寫下這篇文章是我對這一位對抗政權毫無畏懼的英雄的致敬，願他的靈魂與星辰一同安息。 13 Jul 2017

Every year in June, the Sun will reach its furthest point from the equator in the Northern Hemisphere. For the Northern Hemisphere it is the Summer Solstice and winter arrives in the Southern Hemisphere.  For the astrologer who uses the tropical zodiac (most western astrologers), it is also the day of Cancer ingress, the Sun moves into Cancer. Astrologers believe it has an important meaning when the Sun moves into Cardinal signs at the beginning of a new Season.  Also we can use the Cardinal ingress chart together with Eclipse charts and outer planets transit to forecast the seasonal World events.

In traditional astrology, Aries ingress is the most important chart.  However the Cancer ingress, Libra ingress and Capricorn ingress charts can also tell us what we can expect for the next three months. The aspects of this chart can give us a hint of the general theme around the whole World.

Sun Venus semi square

At this moment Venus also arrives at its greatest elongation and forms a semi square with the Sun, this usually suggests a very active financial market. Also, it indicates some difficulties in international diplomacy.

Sun Saturn Chiron T square       

Saturn Chiron squared is a major outer planet aspect of 2017, this aspect reminds us how people can get hurt by Authorities and Rules.  This also indicates old traditions could bring some problems. As the Sun is opposite Saturn and square Chiron, it will trigger this aspect and bring those issues into focus for the next three months. Some world leaders may face a huge challenge and lose their position.      

Sun sextile Uranus

As Uranus has a meaning of rebelling and revolution, when it sextile the Sun the change in society may appear in a easy way. We can see the Sun sextile Uranus as a reaction towards Sun Saturn and Chiron T square.

Mars opposite Pluto square Jupiter

The Mars Pluto aspect indicates how we will react when we face a crisis and Jupiter give a meaning of expansion.  So this aspect could suggest that we face difficulty when we act, maybe there are too many directions so that we are unable to focus on one thing,  or maybe we have high expectations for something that we are not able to achieve. This aspect could also suggest some religious conflict and  those international disputes comes to a dead end.  Nevertheless, Mars is out of bounds from Mid May to the end of June, so the conflicts and incidents could be very aggressive. *** (I have published this article in April 2017 in “IMF magazine and after that few terror attacts happen in UK in May and June.) 

As Mars is right on Ascendant of Cancer ingress chart in Europe area and it is the time of the Brexit negotiations, we can expect a huge conflict between the two sides and it may face an impasse during this time. The Sun is also very close to the Ascendant in the UK bringing immense challenges on political leaders. With Neptune and Chiron in the tenth House, some European governments could face chaotic situations especially East European countries.

As Neptune is very close to the Ascendant in the Washington area, this not only suggests the chaos in the US, but also indicates some disasters such as Earthquake, Flooding, Fog, pollution, critical epidemic situation (same in Europe as Neptune near M.C).

Jupiter is on Russia’s IC ruler 9th house.  As Jupiter forms a T square with Mars and Pluto, this may suggest some land and housing problems and territorial disputes. Sun Saturn Chiron T square affects the  Mc and Des in Beijing, this is more likely to bring political power struggle in China. Mars is right on MC of North Korea and South Korea.  There is tension building up in this area at the  time I write this article in Mid April, and this area also has Mars on Ascendent in February 2017 Lunar Eclipse chart.  So it could be more aggressive when summer coming.

Watch out! that Bloody bloody full Moon, the Lunar Eclipse will happen on 7th August 2017 at 18:10 (GMT), when the Moon at 15º25’ Aquarius opposite Sun at 15º25’ Leo. The high tension we are experiencing now and  several important incidents happening in European countries makes me give this kind of warning for this Eclipse season.  The astrological configuration of both the Solar and Lunar Eclipses are also suggesting aggressive and revolutionary qualities coming toward to us. 

On the personal level, the Lunar Eclipse shows us the result of our work, it gives us a chance to see effort that we have put in before, or maybe you will realise and scream “what have I done!“                     

It also has an important impact in our relationship, the houses location of this Lunar Eclipse (Sun and Moon) in your chart can indicate what area you should pay attention to, in your relationship, for next 6 months. More important, if you have any planets or Angles  located at 14-16º Leo-Aquarius, you may realise the huge impact that is going to affect your life.  Understanding the meaning of the planet that is touched by the Eclipse in your chart can help you prepare and get ready to participate with this life changing point.

Fire! Fire! 

The signs of this Lunar Eclipse can tell us some qualities of the events we will witness in the next six months. The elements of Eclipses are Air and Fire.  Air signs suggest human society related events, political disputes, protests, important social movements.  They also suggest natural disasters caused by powerful winds such as storms.  Moon in Aquarius emphasises that revolution and social movement could be media focus of this eclipse season.   

On another side, the Fire signs suggest aggressive actions such warfare and massacre, as well as bush fire, big fire, explosion, heat wave, drought and famine.  Sun in Leo suggests: Royal family, country leaders, celebrities, children, entertainment and wildlife are the areas which will be affected most, especially as the Solar Eclipse will also happen in Leo.

While I am writing this article there are already few terrot attct, Mancherster attact, London bridge attact  and London tower fire cause 12 death .

Mars conjunct the Sun

Jupiter trine the Moon

The planets aspect the Sun and Moon could add flavour to those events.  Mars is conjunct the Sun at Lunar Eclipse.  Traditional astrology gives both Sun and Mars hot and dry qualities.  With both located in the Fire sign Leo and Mars as a planet of action and warfare, this is a double whammy of extreme hot weather and huge aggressive incidents.  Those countries which have planets and angles near 6-20º’ Aquarius-Leo and those which have the Sun, Moon or  Mars on the Angles of the Lunar Eclipse chart are more likely to be affected. (for example Mexico, Nigeria, Algeria Tunisia, Italy, Croatia,Poland and most East European country).

On another side, Jupiter is trine the Moon and sextile the Sun, bringing a happy feeling and blessing.   During certain situations, wisdom and religion ( or anything you believe) can be helpful.

Important aspects during eclipse season

Saturn Chiron square

Saturn Chiron square are major outer planets aspect of 2017.  Even if it doesn’t form a tight aspect during the eclipse season, I invite you to pay more attention to this aspect.  It suggests the wounds come from the system, authorities, from political issues to private lives. The domestic issue could be conflict between parents and children, or realising those issues buried deep in the family history. On the Mundane level this could mean social injustice and those victims who have been sacrificed for political or economical reasons, people who have been ignored  by society.  For example, the change of healthcare in the U.S is going to make millions of  people lose their medical insurance.  However Chiron does not only bring feelings of hurt, it can also heal, protect from authority, create (or extend) protection towards minority groups through legislation. This is the positive side of the Saturn Chiron aspect but as this is a waning square which has inclined towards making people feel pain and fight to destroy injustice.      

Jupiter sextile Saturn

Although this sextile looks happy, never forget this is the end of the Jupiter Saturn cycle.  After the Jupiter Saturn square last year, they have come to sextile before stepping into a semi square.  Keep an eye on economic and political situations during August and September, it will give you a clue as to how the global economy will develop and how our society will change.

Jupiter square Pluto

Watch out for this aspect, the financial markets usually decline when Jupiter forms a hard aspect with Pluto.  It suggests the tension of international dispute, religious conflict, threats to social security systems, corruption and panic in financial markets. As Jupiter exact square Pluto in the end of November and early December last year and March-April 2017,  it is worth reviewing what has happened during those times, the sequel of those events might be appearing this summer.     

Mercury opposite Neptune

Mercury opposite Neptune suggests the challenge of truth, what is real and what is fantasy? Chaotic situations could appear in transport, information, communication and education. IT problems not only happen during Mercury retrograde, and Mercury will be retrograde from 10th August to  6th September and also opposite Neptune on the Solar Eclipse day. This means the influence of this aspect could last very long time even when they are no longer opposite.  So back up your data and keep it safe and double check your itineraries when you travel. 

Solar Eclipse of 21 August

Second solar Eclipse will happen right before the Sun moves into Virgo at 28 º 52’ Leo on 21st August (18:30 GMT). As this eclipse occurs in the fire sign Leo, the shocking events are related to warfare, massacre, bush fire, big fire, explosion,heat wave, drought and famine as we discussed before. 

Those aspects we discussed in Lunar Eclipse are also appearing in the Solar Eclipse.  Moreover, this New Moon trine Uranus could make suddenly cause the situation to be out of control. Uranus is related to Nuclear power and nuclear weapons, it would not be a surprise if there was an incident related to these. In another way, the New Moon trine Uranus also encourages people to make changes, from personal life to the political situation and economic system.   As Venus square Jupiter, Uranus and Mars sextile Jupiter trine Saturn also happens on the Solar Eclipse day, it suggests that if we can deeply understand the core values of different social classes and of differences of political campaigns, we may be able to work together.    

One last and most crucial thing is Mars, it conjunct North Node, widely conjunct the Sun in the Solar Eclipse chart. Any planet conjunct Moon Nodes will impose its quality in our society, people will act more bravely  or more aggressively, fighting for their own rights, but this also suggest that the tension and conflicts could be very high.

Saros cycles

This Solar Eclipse is related to Saros cycle S.S 1 North, same Saros cycles were happened in 1999, 1981, 1963, 1945 and 1927, anything happening during those times (in both Mundane level or Personal level ) could have some developments after this summer.

Trump and Solar Eclipse

If a Personal Chart has any planet connecting touching by the Eclipse point this suggests a huge change in life for that year, therefore if you have any personal planet or your ascendant, descendent M.C I.C is on 14-16º Leo-Aquarius, or 27 Leo to 0 Virgo, you are coming to a turning point of your life.  People usually ask about what is going to change.  First we look at the meaning of that planet and think about what you want to change in that area of life.  Even though we can not control everything in our life but if we can use this powerful eclipse energy to work, it can be very effective. U.S President Trump has his Ascendent on 29 degree Leo, also close to Mars in his chart,  the Solar Eclipse is right on it and nevertheless he was born on the Lunar Eclipse day, this means  the Eclipse has a very powerful influence on him. Ascendent is about his presence, outlook and relationship with this world.  When the Eclipse happens on Angles usually suggesting a huge change of personal life, this could be very difficult for him.

Every year, around 21st March, the Sun shines directly on the equator and this makes the length of day and night almost equal for that day. In the Northern Hemisphere this is the Spring Equinox and in the South it is the start of Autumn. The Aries ingress is the beginning of Spring (in the Northern Hemisphere), the Cancer ingress is on the day of the Summer Solstice, the Libra ingress happens at Autumn Equinox when the Sun shines directly on the Equator again and moves towards the Southern Hemisphere.  Finally on 21st December the Sun’s light touches the most southern point it can reach in the South Hemisphere, it is Capricorn ingress and if you are living in Northern Hemisphere, winter has started but  people living in the Southern Hemisphere are enjoying the Summer on the beach.

It is also one of the important days for the astrologer who uses the tropical zodiac system, as on this day, the Sun moves into Aries for the beginning of spring time. In the Mundane astrology we use four cardinal ingress charts and Eclipse charts for yearly forecasting. The Solar Eclipse charts have at least one year influence, the effect of lunar eclipse charts are about six months. The Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn ingress charts tell us what we can expect for that season, however we notice the ancient astrologer weigh the Aries ingress chart much more than other three ingress charts especially when the Ascendant of Aries Ingress chart is on a Fixed sign (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius ) , this suggests the atmosphere of the year is very similar to the Ascendant sign telling us “Fixed“, not going to change very much, even though we can still read other three ingress charts as a fine tuning of the season.

On the Aries ingress chart, Jupiter opposite Uranus, square Pluto, formed a T-square, this is a strong signature of this year as it also appeared in the February Solar Eclipse and March Lunar Eclipse chart.

Between 2012-2015 Uranus and Pluto formed 7 exact squares. This was what astrologers focussed on during the last few years.  It suggests we have more idea of social, political and Economic reform.

This year Uranus-Pluto square still form a tight square although it is not going to be exact aspect. Moreover Jupiter is getting involved in the Aries ingress chart. Jupiter suggests religion, belief, philosophy, foreign countries and long distance traveling.  It is hard to ignore that Mars is also involved in this aspect pattern in Solar Eclipse, it suggests more upheaval in the political and economic areas, protests, attacks, and violent events.        

In UK and European countries, Cancer is rising on the Aries Ingress chart, the Cardinal sign suggests a dynamic early start. People and government are trying to focus on present issues and get ready for the challenge. The Ascendant ruler Moon will conjunct Saturn in 27 degree of Sagittarius. This suggests people are thinking carefully and are more reserved about what is happening around. We have a big picture of the future and we have to make it happen step by step with what we have learnt from history. As Saturn rules the 7th house and Saturn is also near Descendant, this suggests European countries will be more protected when facing foreign affairs, from this point of view we should not underestimate the influence of nationalism and far right parties.

Nevertheless, the Saturn and Moon conjunction are located at 27 Sagittarius – Galactic centre, this is a sensitive point of the Zodiac. Last time  Saturn was in the same place, there were the political and economic reforms started by Mihail Sergeevich Gorbachev in 1986 and the end of the Cold War which also happened that year.  Not to mention the strikes in Poland in 1988 which became another seed of the East European revolution.  Castro’s revolutionary army begins its attacks on Havana from April 1958 when Saturn was again at Galactic Centre 59 years ago. This could be a warning of disharmony of world politics but if we look at it carefully, wealth Inequality lead to these revolutions.

The Jupiter Uranus and Pluto T square are located in 5-7-11 for European countries, the Axis of 5-11 Houses are related to welfare, social security system, charity, local government and parliament, these things are essential during  social and political reforms and may be the cause of lots of argument. The 7th house is about foreign affairs,  as Brexit happen and the uncertainty of French, German general elections, the tension between EU countries will  increase.    

It looks like a bumpy road for 2017 Spring time if we look at Aries ingress chart of EU, UK and US, Neptune is on the Angles, this remind us one thing, we have to learn from our experiences. Fear  cruelty and rejection  are never the solution for hard times, we have to learn compassion, empathy, forgiveness and help each other, if we still remember what caused the 1st and 2nd World Wars and how we try hard to make sure these wars never happen again.

Eclipse date:

Lunar Eclipse: 11 Feb 2017 00:32 GMT

Solar Eclipse: 26 Feb 2107 14:58 GMT

Lunar Eclipse degree: Moon in 22˚ Leo, Sun in 22˚ Aquarius

Solar Eclipse degree: 8˚ Pisces 

Nodal Axis: Pisces-Virgo

Solar Eclipse

Solar Eclipse will happen at  14:58 (GMT)  26th Feb 2107. Sun Moon conjunct at  8˚ Pisces. Pisces as a water sign suggest that we should focus on water resource, ocean, fishing, seafaring, shipping, rainfall and flooding, in the psychological level water element related to feeling, fantasy, imagination and those intangible subject in our life. As a mutable sing, suggest the exchange of feeling between people, Pisces particular connect with sharing feeling and sharing emotion, compassion and empathy, these could be the fundamental key of this year. The mutable sing also suggest our society and people trying adopt new situation, adjust ourselves to new condition, learning new skill are very useful during this period.               

We also have to take Nodal axis Virgo-Pisces, Earth-Water elements combination into account. Although Nodal axis will move into Leo-Aquarius after May 2017, but let us focus on Virgo-Pisces first as Solar Eclipse occurred at Pisces. The Virgo Pisces are usually link with Health, Medicine, Chemical issues, as water earth sings combination, the focus area are those disasters link with water and land. Water pollution, Ocean pollution, flooding, avalanche, landslide cause by rainfall, tsunami cause by earthquake.     

As February Solar Eclipse happens at Pisces, the Rulers of Eclipse are Neptune and Jupiter. Let us look at Neptune first, in the Solar Eclipse chart Neptune is not only ruler of Solar Eclipse, it also conjunct with Sun and Moon this is a double whammy  and we should not under estimate the Neptune issues in 2017, which again are related to water, ocean, shipping, pollutions, virus mutation and epidemic,  medical, chemical issues. Especially those area has Neptune on the angles in Solar Eclipse, Lunar Eclipse, Transiting Neptune on the angles of country chart and Aries Ingress chart.     

Neptune as generation planet, it has more effect on Mundane level, however we should not ignore the personal influence as Neptune play an important role in 2017 February Solar Eclipse. Especially if you have personal planets and Ascendent-Descent axis, M.C-I.C axis around 6-16˚ Mutable signs.   

Neptune is related to dreams, fantasy, illusion, it encourage us to fulfil our dream, to be greater than we are now, however Neptune does not promise you anything, it is up on you to understand what is fantasy and what is possible future. Neptune also repeat Pisces themes of share feeling, compassion and empathy.

Jupiter is another things we should focus as it is traditional ruler of Pisces. Jupiter represent higher foreigner, travel, international relationship, education, religions, what we believe and philosophy. As Jupiter in Libra and retrograde, it is not in it most powerful state, this suggest the background of Mundane events have somehow a tone of stagnate, people are frustrated about things are not move forward, more people feel they don’t have time and energy for take care of other. However Jupiter in Libra where Saturn is exaltation and Saturn in Sagittarius where Jupiter is ruler. This is a mutual reception in traditional astrology view and this suggest those who have no power in the main stream, and those who live in the difficult situation should help each other to bring better future.        

Jupiter in Libra like last year we should focus on Justice, cooperation and relationship, Libra as cardinal air sign, this suggest, we can improve our situation if we can put more effort on communication, education, make sure thing are going fair and well balance different view, different voice has been heard. Libra also is a human sign and sanguine type in the traditional astrology view, we can expect the political, communities affairs, humanitarian issues and charity works will become our focus of the year.

Aspects :    

In February Solar Eclipse chart, Jupiter opposite Uranus and Mars, square Pluto, this form a T square, this is a strong signature in Eclipse chart. This also remind us that we are not done with Uranus-Pluto square. Between 2012-2015 Uranus and Pluto formed 7 exact squares. This was what astrologers focus during last few years. This year Uranus-Pluto square still form a tight square although it is not going to be exact aspect. More over Jupiter and Mars are getting involve in the Solar eclipse chart. Mars bring out survival issue, military, attack and bloody violence. Jupiter suggest religion, believe, philosophy, foreigner are involve. It is hard to ignore this configuration suggest more upheaval in the political and economic areas, protest, attack, and violence events.        

Fixed Stars

The new Moon of Solar Eclipse are align with two fixed stars of Aquarius, Skat and SITULA. Skat is on the waterman’s shin, and Situla is on the water barrel he hold. I see this as an emphasis of Jupiter-Saturn mutual reception as Skat has Jupiter Saturn nature according Ptolemy. Also Robson suggest Skat are related to friend when Son and Moon receive it’s influence.

Saros cycles

According Dr.Bernadette Brady’s Saros cycles study, Eclipse occurred in 2016 February  belong to S.S 19 eclipse family. it has a positive and happiness flower. Venus/Jupiter combination and Jupiter/Uranus combination has strong influence. I suggest that we take this information and use it to give us strength. We should believe that what we are doing will have positive out come, life might surprise you.

Lunar Eclipse

The Lunar Eclipse will happen on 11 February 2017 at 00:32 (GMT), Moon in 22˚ Leo opposite Sun in 22˚ Aquarius. The influence of Lunar Eclipse are usually last 6 month until next Lunar Eclipse happen. Both Solar Eclipse and Lunar Eclipse represent shocking events, usually unpleased and scary. It could be disasters or upheaval in the social political domains but I believe there are profound meaning behind those unpleasant. Solar Eclipse, as a New Moon,  use those unpleasant as awakening call, and bring an opportunity  to start new system. Lunar Eclipse as Full Moon, it shows us the out come of those decision we made, those event are usually linking with Nodal axis position, Eclipse Saror cycles, New Moon Full Moon by their position on the zodiac.           

Which mean when the shocking event are linking with Lunar Eclipse, we have to ask, How come this happen? What cause this tragedy ? If we go track relative event when those decision are made, when those order or law are made, we can find they are somehow share similar zodiac point by Moon, Node, or Saror Cycles.

The Sun Moon opposition of Lunar Eclipse occurred at Leo and Aquarius, this axis are personal glory and collective goal, action verse thinking, now or future. Fire sign of Leo indicate Drought, Warfare, fight, riot, fire and blast. Aquarius as Air sing suggest protest, political dispute, communication, media,  flight and space. Especial those country have Sun, Moon, Asc,Mc, Chart ruler near 22˚ Leo- Aquarius.         

We also have to takePisces-Virgo Nodal axis, Water, Earth elements into account, these we already covered in Solar Eclipse. 

Aspects :

Eclipse Full Moon will trine and sextile Jupiter Uranus opposition, it bring harmony action and smooth the agitation and anxiety of Jupiter Uranus opposition, we can fight for better future with wisdom, with deep consideration of pros and cons. Jupiter Uranus and Pluto form a T square on the Lunar Eclipse day, it suggest we have more idea of social reform, political and Economical reform. We know what our future look like. As Sun and Moon intervene this T square with harmonic aspect, we maybe realise those decision we made before are challenging us or in another way that we are benefit from it when we face the sudden change of Uranus Jupiter Pluto T square.   

Fixed Stars

Sun will be align with 2 fixed stars on this day, 

Sadalsuud : the measurement stick of water man, which has nature of Mercury Saturn according Ptolemy, this suggest the deep consideration before we take action, also suggest those event we are facing now are the measurement of water level. Is flood coming soon ? How far and how hard it will be ? 

Deneb Algedi: This is the tail of Capricorn, Ptolemy gave it Jupiter and Saturn nature although Robson told us It is said to cause beneficence and destructiveness, sorrow and happiness, and life and death, however we should know the Capricorn is the goat god Ea or Pan, Ea the god of civilisation and Pan is god of wilderness and nature. If we understand that we need destroy old building before we build up new home. The resistance and sorrow for keeping old memory  could be the echo of Pluto in Capricorn, and excitement of new hope are more likely the Jupiter Uranus influence on the Lunar Eclipse chart.

Lunar Eclipse of Personal level are usually aware about something that indicate by which houses axis Lunar Eclipse falling too. The Aquarius and Leo axis suggest the issue maybe around rational mind and passional action, Spontaneous v.s. Think before leap, focus on personal goal or care about whole society.

After I wrote the article about Swing states I asked myself a few questions, if astromap can show the relationship between people and location, Should I run those states’ astromap form the poll opening time? To see if there any benefic planet run through New York to favour Trump, or any plant links with Chicago bring some good luck to Hillary? That definitely has lots works to do, please try  if you are into it.

Another idea I have is  that should I run both candidates Astromap, Local Space and those maps on Secondary Progression for this moment to see if there any planetary lines link them with the White House?  I did it and The painful result is, Yes, they all have, so I decide to put it on here as an interesting Astromap study.

First, I need some example to see whether other formers American Presidents has this link?

G W Bush: His astromap from Natal chart has Jupiter IC and Moon IC both very close to D.C. And the Venus LS line also very close to this place

The astromap of  SP on 7th Nov 2000, He has Saturn near D.C. and don’t forget he almost lost in this election, luckily Gore does not have any Planet near D.C. The closest line is Pluto As and it is  6 degrees away.

Another example is President Obama

In his Astromap he has Sun Ic line and Moon As line near White House, Venus Pluto Paran also near by.

The S.P Astromap for 2008 election , His Moon Mc line near White House, also Mercury Jupiter Paran and Moon Neptune Paran.

I think this is enough for now, let US look Trump and Hillary

Trump 

The Astromap of Natal chart has Mars near the White House and He has Jupiter LS line Chiron Ls line near D.C too…. Okay, this could bring him closer to the White house. But remember, we don’t have Hillary’s correct birth time therefor I will be more careful with this.

The S.P astromap of Nov 2016 shows he has Sun As near by but with 5 degrees away, the influence is a little bit small, but Jupiter LS line Chiron Ls line and Venus Ls line all come to this area …

Hillary 8AM

Astromap for 8AM char Jupiter is very close to D.C, Jupiter LS Line also passes by this area. Sun/Pluto paran give us some idea how other people see her too.

If we run SP astromap with this birth time Jupiter LS and Chiron LS lines are very close to D.C

Hillary 8pm

with this Birth time their is Sun Ls line pass by this area

  but no any planetary lines near D.C.  for  Astromap from SP chart of 8PM birth time.

Hillary 2:18 AM

The only thing close to D.C from 2:18 AM birth chart is Sun / Pluto Paran.

For S.P astromap for 2:18 AM birth time has Uranus Mc line near by and SUN Mercury LS line here.

Sibly Chart 

If people’s astromap can shows their relationship with place, why not a country chart? I decide to run Sibly chart and it’s SP astromap to have a look, the astromap from Sibly chart has Moon Ls line run to New York, where Trump from, also have Jupiter LS Line and Venus LS line go to Chicago where Hillary from.

But the Sibly SP chart for November 2016 has nothing go to Chicago but Mercury LS line  and Sun line  go to New York.

Bill Clinton … this is just a little lol  ( a lmao for me )

When I check his astromap to see if he has Planetary lines go through D.C

Of course he has, his Chiron As line near D.C. …..

I bet he does not really want to go to that place ” Again ”  lol  unless this is a healing journey for him. Good luck.

I am not really interesting on making prediction of American president election, as there is no clear birth time of Hillary,also many other Astrologers are already did lots of work on it, both Trump and Hillary have been predict to have chance win.

Astrologers like me who works with Astromap believe there will be some influence if a planet has project it’s lines on certain location, whether good or bad depend on planet’s nature and it’s position in birth chart, and we know those swing states take significant influence on this election.

So, here I am interesting in work with Astromap to see if there is some lucky planets lines cross those swing states, and compare the information I have to see either Trump or Hillary has more lucky on these place.

For Trump, we have correct birth time however for Hillary we have atless 3 different birth times. I decide to run all of 3. This table shows the planetary influence on those swing states according the birth time. Still I am not here to make prediction as I don’t like make any prediction without Hillary Clinton’s exact birth time.

Trump

Mars As:  Mars in Leo, in 12th house, does not suggest great help for Trump however this Mars is in its Term and Face suggest he can get some good luck if Hillary has Malefic planets run through thesis state.   

Saturn As: Saturn says No, however Trumps Saturn in 11th and his Saturn also  has mutual reception by exaltation with Jupiter and form aspect  with Jupiter by Square. This maybe suggest he can get some help form here 

Venus As: Basically I will treat Venus and Jupiter as helper, Trumps Venus is in 11th house and in its triplicity sing and in its own term therefore It will help.

Neptune IC: In second house retrograde , co ruler of 8th house therefore I treat his Neptune as a threat.   

Jupiter IC: I believe Jupiter does no harm but his Jupiter also co ruler of 8th House that maybe not going to help also his Jupiter square and receive (Mutual reception by Exaltation ) by Saturn. The only place in Trumps chart has Jupiter pass by Swing States is Colorado where also has Pluto line pass for this reason I think his Jupiter is not going to help. 

Pluto As: Basically Pluto is a difficult area. 

Yes: NV,

No: CO,

Not Sure: FL, IA, MI, NH,

Yes but not sure: NC,OH,PA,VA.WI

Clinton 8AM chart

Jupiter As:  Usually we consider Jupiter as benefic planet. For Hillary, Jupiter is in Sagittarius, it is in the sign Jupiter rules which make Jupiter very strong. I will consider

Moon IC: In traditional astrology we usually have be judge Moon’s dignity carefully, Moon is not in its own sign and consider as peregrination, Moon’s last aspect is Mercury which is not in a very powerful position. So I will consider Moon will not be very helpful.     

Venus As:  Venus is usually consider as helpful but in Hillary’s case this help is very small as Venus detriment.     

Mercury As: Like the Moon, in traditional astrology we usually consider Mercury as Nurture, to decide whether Mercury as a benefic planet or Malefic planet we have to consider it’s position and the last Aspect Mercury made. In this chart Mercury in 12th house this house is usually consider as bad spirt , most important Mercury’s last aspect was square Saturn ( Saturn in detriment ), Mercury in 10AM chart rule 8th House. I will consider this Mercury suggest certain difficulty.   

North Node Ds: Basically a symbol of lucky 

Sun As: Sun as resource of energy of life, usually consider as symbol of power. Unless Sun is in bad position I will not not easily consider the Sun as bad sign. Hillary’s Sun is in 12th House but Mutual reception with it’s rulers Mars and Pluto.    

Mars Mc: Mars is traditional malefic however Mars as co ruler of Hillary’s Sun and mutual reception with the Sun, also aspect the Sun by Square  suggest she can gain some support from here with hard work.

Pluto Mc: Usually a symbol of uncomfortable however, Pluto as co ruler of Hillary’s Sun and mutual reception with the Sun, also aspect the Sun by Square  suggest she can gain some support from here with hard work.

Chiron As : Usually a symbol of hurts and wounded I will not easily to treat this symbol as a sign of good luck.

Yes: CO, FL,NV, NC, PA, VA,OH

No:

Not Sure: NH,

Yes but not sure: IA,MI, WI

Compare with Donal Trump: If this birth time is right Hillary could be win as she will win in Florida, Iowa, Pennsylvania, Colorado, Nevada and also have many chance to beat Trump in Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan, as Trump has no any important line go through these places.   

Clinton 8PM chart

Pluto IC: Usually a symbol of uncomfortable however, Pluto as co ruler of Hillary’s Sun and mutual reception with the Sun, also aspect the Sun by Square  suggest she can gain some support from here with hard work.

Mars IC: Mars is traditional malefic however Mars as co ruler of Hillary’s Sun and mutual reception with the Sun, also aspect the Sun by Square  suggest she can gain some support from here with hard work.

Uranus As: Uranus has surprising nature it suggest rebelling energy. Uranus in Gemini does not have any dignity and it’s ruler Mercury does not give Uranus any advantage either. It will be a surprise, there for I put it on Not Sure

Jupiter Ds: Jupiter as a benefic planet also has dignity in Hillary’s chart as it is in Sagittarius

N.N As: North Node is a symbol of benefic

Yes: CO,NV

Not Sure: NC, PA, VA,OH, NH, IA,MI, WI,FL

Compare with Donal Trump: this birth time has too many uncertainty, most states are not sure with this chart.

Clinton 2:18AM chart

Moon Ds: As my analyse before Moon does not look like an helpful sign However things have little changes here, if we consider Moon’s last Aspect in this chart was a trine with Venus ( not like 10 AM chart with Mercury) . Moon in this chart form a trine with Venus, and Venus is Moon’s Exaltation ruler, In this case Moon will receive some help even Venus, even Venus is in its detriment, this suggest the help is very small. It looks like People dislike her for many reason but still Support her. 

Saturn AS: Saturn as a malefic planet in Hillary’s Chart Saturn is in its detriment therefor it is definitely not going to be very helpful in her chart.    

Venus IC: Usually good but not very helpful in Hillary’s Chart in this case Venus lines together with Saturn and Chiron suggest not going to help

Chiron IC: Usually a symbol of hurts and wounded I will not easily to treat this symbol as a sign of good luck.

Uranus Mc: Uranus has surprising nature it suggest rebelling energy. Uranus in Gemini does not have any dignity and it’s ruler Mercury does not give Uranus any advantage either. It will be a surprise.

Yes: FL, IA,MI,NC,OH,VA,WI

No: CO,NV,

Not sure: NH,PA

Compare with Donal Trump:  Although the resource of this birth time is not very trustworthy, but I still run the Astromap to have a look.  If this birth time is right , like the astromap of  10 am, Hillary can have chance to win in the states where Trump’s astromap has no indication such as Florida, Iowa, Michigan , Very interesting things for this Birth time is that this astromap suggest Hillary will not win in Colorado and Nevada which give different result from other birth times’ astromap.

I published this article on rodchange.com website at 22:40 GMT 6th Nov 2016 and I will post some examination after we have result of election hope this could help us to understand more about Astromap.

7th Nov update: I add here the

CNN’s latest electoral college map

http://edition.cnn.com/2016/11/04/politics/road-to-270-electoral-college-map-november-4-duplicate/index.html

https://www.rt.com/usa/364732-dakota-pipeline-protest-winter/

THe protest of North Dakota pipeline become focus of media from this summer and this protest just getting bigger, Some protest also happen in New York.

The Standing Rock protesters in North Dakota have been fighint the pipeline since April but were dealt a blow end of October when police successfully pushed them off the property where construction is rapidly advancing.

By exam the Astromaps of this area you will find the amazing of astrological symblo

In the Astromap of Solar Eclipse September 2016, Uranus Mc line is near this area, Uranus is a symbol of rebelling, revolution and unsettle, it also has meanign of cut off. More interesting if we draw Local Space map from White house you will find the Saturn LS line also cross this area. Blockege ,against and delay is what Saturn suggest.

The Astromap of Lunar Eclipse in Setember 2016 have Jupiter Mc, Saturn As in this area, Jupiter is symbol of develop and Saturn take things down, Jupiter is idea and Saturn is reality, the native in this area are caught in between.  The Pluto LS line from DC suggest the angry and anxiety of this rea tower to White House.

The Astromap of  Libra ingress has similar flavour, Uranus Ds line pass this area and Sun, Jupiter Uranus Ls lines from DC pass here too. This maybe bring the supporters and media’s focus to this area.

If we look at Astromap of Capricorn ingress we will totally understand that they really has determination to fight trhourgh winter as Mars Ic line right above this area, Mars give strength  to protect  their land but also suggest conflict maybe gettting bigger.

Obama himself also have Saturn Mc line and Neptune Dsc line near this area. Although it is end of his term but this conflict maybe will ruin his reputation if he does not handle it carefully.

Jupiter will ingress into Libra at BST 12:18 on 9^th Sep 2016 . Some may feel relieved when they hear that Jupiter finally leaves Virgo, but I wonder if it is a wild feeling only – the recent placements of planets are truly a wild one!

When Jupiter leaves Virgo, those attributes that Jupiter symbolises – faith, philosophy, development – undoubtedly will have certain uplift. Traditionally, the moist and warm nature of Jupiter is not compatible with the dry and cold nature of Virgo; therefore, when it ingresses into Libra, which is an Air sign, at least it is going into a more compatible and similar circumstance which is moist and hot (in traditional astrology, the nature of Air resembles a moist and hot climatic environment), which somehow helps those entities and issues governed by Jupiter; perhaps this ingress indicates that our plans and development will be more compatible to the surroundings.

Libra is of Air element, which symbolises air, storms and even respiration. Traditional astrology and humorism believes that it is related to sanguine (blood), one of the four temperaments. The red, hot and moist blood warms our body while its circulation sends oxygen to the organs brings away wastes – mobility and exchange thus become what blood represents. All 3 Air signs are human signs. It also accounts for why the three Air signs symbolise inter-personal relationship and interaction. Libra emphasises interaction and communication between people, not to mention equality, fairness and justice. Libra is always law-abiding, so one may wonder if the voice from other groups would be heard and respected in such situation.

In relationships, Libra also emphasises the interaction within. When it comes to interaction, competition and cooperation, Libra underlines that a fair basis is a must. It also symbolises partnerships, so its ingress into Libra may bring forth development and changes to such kind of relationships or on the system of relationship itself in the community.

If you want good luck, follow Jupiter. Jupiter in Libra gives us advice concerning development and growth; in the upcoming year, whether we respect others and treat others fairly, whether we pay our attention to law and justice system, and whether we show our respect on partnerships and co-operations may become the key to a smooth further development. Libra, which is ruled by Venus, also reminds us that we should always look up to this goddess planet when we are not proceeding smoothly or when we lack incentive to move on at work or in our study, and she will always remind you where your value lies. When you remember what you value and what you love, go back to chase after Jupiter and you will find that your development seems to become smoother.

Jupiter will be in Libra till 10^th Oct, 2017. It will station on 6^th Feb and start to retrograde, and it will station again on 9^th Jun and turn to direct motion. During its retrogradation, progress of projects and developments, especially those related to relationships, interactions, negotiations, conferences and law, will slow down. Similarly, in times like this, I would invite you to go back to your natal Venus and observe – the sign of transit Venus and natal Venus might both inspire us in some ways. Let us go back and review our plans, projects and progress during Jupiter retrograde, and see if there is anything that needs to be tuned so that we can move forward efficiently when Jupiter turn to direct once again.

Besides, Jupiter may form sextiles with Saturn during its stay in Libra, and the dates will be from 24^th Oct 2016 to 26^th Feb 2017, and from 5^th Aug to 20^th Sep 2017. This aspect may stimulate and help social development, political and economical situation (Don’t get too hyper since it may also symbolise government intervention on financial market. Let’s consider in what circumstances would a government intervene the financial market … eh?) Jupiter-Saturn sextile symbolises those practical adjustment in development plans or some flexible adjustments. Libra, where Jupiter will be in, is the sign where Saturn is exalted, and Sagittarius, where Saturn is in, is ruled by Jupiter. We can see this as a kind of mutual reception, symbolising the planets helping each other and the case of reception – the effect will become even more obvious when they actually form an aspect in these two signs. Your plans and projects, or the development schemes of the government may manifest certain improvement, but we should also remember that the progress has to be controlled very carefully (a very Saturnian feature).
