UPCOMING ECLIPSES

By Christeen Skinner

FACTS: There are at least two solar eclipses in any year – sometimes as many as five.

These cosmic events fascinated the ancients and gave power to those who could predict their timing.

Events deemed related to a lunar eclipse seem to occur within days of the event – quite different to the effect of a solar eclipse which can be felt weeks if not months before or after the event.

The Lunar Eclipse on September 18^th is in one of the so-called Mutable signs. Astro-finance research reveals that traders tend to react negatively. Since the September eclipse aligns with Neptune (the planet associated with loss). The days prior to the Equinox (this year on September 22^nd) could witness financial trends moving to the downside.

The actual degrees of the zodiac involved link this eclipse to some of the major tech companies (Microsoft, dell computers etc) which could see falls in their share price.

History may yet show that the events of mid-July 2024 are linked to the Solar eclipse on October 2^nd. Consider: the near assassination of Donald Trump, the political chaos that followed the elections in France, the new government in the UK, Israeli pressure in Gaza, China halting potential deals with the US as tension regarding Taiwan increase…………..the list goes on

What links these events is that they coincided with the lunar node crossing the zodiac degree of the solar eclipse. Yes, there were other planetary factors at work that likely accentuated the volatility and yes, every day carries its own news stories. What these have in common is the likelihood of further drama to come:

Mars will be at right angle to the eclipse degree on September 22^nd – exactly coinciding with the Equinox. It is this chart that is used to forecast the coming quarter.

And what an eventful quarter it should be.

Mars does not work at its best in Watery Cancer and we should expect highly emotional – arguably hostile reaction to events. Dissention will likely escalate.

Of course we should hope that with this solar eclipse exactly conjoined with asteroid Astrea (often present at contracts signing and legalities generally), that equitable ways forward will be found.

What is more likely is that the Court of Human Rights will be overworked.

Putting these developments alongside an interpretation of the chart for the United Nations, it seems likely that there will be increased vocal demand  for the UN to be revamped.
