The solar eclipse at 29 degrees fifty six minutes Cancer was at 2:34 AM Greenwich Mean Time on July 22nd, or 10:34 PM Eastern Daylight Time on July 21st. The first thing to say is that a solar eclipse may have either a positive or negative affect in one’s personal life depending on how the eclipse aspects one’s natal planets. If, for example, you have planets at 29 degrees Cancer, Libra, Capricorn or Aries you will be challenged by the eclipse. If you have planets at 29 degrees Virgo or Pisces the eclipse will favor you. If you have planets at 00 degrees Gemini or Sagittarius the eclipse will affect a turning point of sorts in your affairs. To get a complete picture of what the eclipse means for you personally, you will either have to read your own chart or have an astrologer do that for you. Please note: this report is about probabilities in world events as shown by the eclipse.

To find out what the eclipse means for the world, I made charts for London, Paris, Bruxelles, Berlin, Moscow; Jerusalem, Beirut, Amman, Damascus; Teheran, Delhi, Jakarta; Beijing, Anbyon North Korea, Tokyo, Wellington NZ; and Washington DC. I also looked at relevant Johndro locality charts, and at the national charts of Afghanistan, Iran, Pakistan and Zaire for added detail.

A major solar eclipse such as this one signals an ending and new beginning in the world, however difficult. The eclipse is at 29 degrees Cancer. Twenty-nine degrees means a weeping matter is coming to the world with this eclipse. The affects of a solar eclipse last for at least one year.

The charts for London, Paris and Bruxelles have the eclipse in the 2nd house, showing the troubled finances of western Europe and the EU and pointing to coming burdensome taxation, heavy expenditures and losses of revenue, wasted public money, and unstable conditions in the money market and in the stock markets. Financial conditions in the EU will fluctuate with some deep losses. The chart for Berlin shows the eclipse in the 1st house and points to serious discontentment and unrest amongst the general public in Germany and all of central Europe. There may come some surprising changes in the government of Germany because of this. The charts for Jerusalem, Beirut, Damascus and Ammon also have the eclipse in the 1st house showing general discontentment among the people. This tells us that Middle East will become more restless and unstable in the coming months. If we look at the band that runs approximately between 10 degrees East longitude and 36 degrees East longitude, or the area running roughly between Germany and Syria, and extend it down to south latitudes into the continent of Africa, we will find the same unsettling indications showing up in much of Central, East and South Africa. Of special interest are Libya, Chad, Sudan, Ethopia, Zaire, Uganda, and south all the way to South Africa. This whole region of the world is in considerable ferment. Of note, the national chart of Zaire has Mercury at 29 degrees Cancer in the 4th house, and ruling the 6th house. It is possible that the eclipse will trigger an epidemic in Zaire.

The charts for Moscow and Teheran put the eclipse in the 12th house, indicating serious behind the scenes trouble involving prisons, possibly relating to victims of political intreague. The chart for India puts the eclipse in the 11th house indicating changes in the Cabinet, troubles and difficulties in Parliament, dissentions and disagreements among members, also sickness, indisposition or death of a member of the government. Saturn in the India chart is in the 1st house showing the country taking a serious outlook. Venus in the India chart is in the 10th house exactly square Saturn and square Uranus confirming the possibility of sickness or death of a member of the government, possibly a lady, and/or the unpopularity of someone in the highest of the government circles.

The eclipse as affects Afghanistan and Pakistan shows the problems in Afghanistan related to opium growers funding terrorists who secretly cross over into Pakistani territory. It will be extremely difficult to control this sort of activity.

The charts for China, Japan and Korea have the eclipse at the zenith. We can expect some dramatic events to occur in East Asia involving these countries. Such an eclipse as this in the 10th house is a sign of the defeat of the government and/or heads of major corporations of pivotal importance to these nations. East Asia is heading for major changes now.

The solar eclipse may also play a role in earthquakes and volcanic activity. Areas that deserve watching include China and Japan. The Johndro locality chart confirms the possibility of earthquake activity in far eastern Asia. The Johndro chart draws a line north-south from Kamchatka Pennisula and the Kuril Islands just northeast of Japan down to Papua New Guinea. This may trigger activity in the whole region of the islands that surround the eastern, southeastern and southern sides of Asia. The Johndro charts also point to the central Atlantic, or 30 degrees west longitude, that could indicate volcanic activity increasing at the bottom of the ocean there. The eclipse appears at the zenith over the middle of the Atlantic in the Johndro chart. This would also make it a risk, at times, to cross the Atlantic by air or water. There might be a big storm coming across the ocean after the eclipse as well.

The chart for Wellington, NZ shows nothing noteworthy. This means that the range of earthquake activity indicated by the eclipse is limited to the area around East Asia. If it happens in the sea there would be tidal wave activity. The sign Cancer suggests that possibility.

Finally, the eclipse chart in the US puts the eclipse in the 5th house. This suggests that we may hear of some more deaths in the entertainment field. The chart also points to plenty of wrangling to come in the House of Representatives.

Affects of the eclipse may happen immediately or as repercussions when planets come to aspect the eclipse degree. The first repercussions may occur when the Moon comes to square the eclipse degree on July 27th, and opposition the eclipse degree on August 4th. The Moon traveling around the heavens once a month may touch off the eclipse degree several times over the course of the year following the eclipse. Venus comes to conjunction the eclipse degree on August 25th and 26th. Mars comes to conjunction the eclipse degree on October 15th and 16th. The Sun squares the eclipse degree on October 22nd. Then the Sun comes to opposition the eclipse degree on January 19th. It is said the effects of a solar eclipse can last three years. My experience tells me that the effects last one year and then fade out.

The New Moon on June 22 at Washington DC was in the 9th house exactly trine the Ascendent pointing to favorable developments in international relations, as seen in the summit meeting of the Presidents of the US and Russia. Supporting this development is a conjunction of Mars and Venus in the 7th house indicating a peaceful marriage of sorts. This fortunate development will continue to unfold beyond the lunation period; relations with Russia appear to be entering a more optimistic road now. The developments between the US and Russia are coming to full view at the Full Moon eclipse on July 7th with the eclipse Moon in the 7th House at Washington showing that relations with foreign powers are now improving while the eclipse trine Saturn in the 3rd house says that the improvements will continue to develope through talks over time.

Over and against the above indications, we have to look at the charts of Iran and Afghanistan. It was 30 years ago that the Islamic Republic of Iran was started. Iran is just recently past her Saturn Return. Saturn in the chart for Iran is in the 1st house, i.e., the-house-of-the-people. Repercussions of the Islamic Revolution are being felt now; there is popular unrest , and this will lead to economic worries for Iran. It is also noteworthy that Jupiter in the Iranian chart is at 29 degrees Cancer in the 12th house. There will be a major solar eclipse on July 22nd at 29 degrees Cancer. This eclipse will cause plenty of disturbances in Iran affecting public institutions such as hospitals, schools, and prisons over the coming months. It is possible that a lot of people will be going to jail. It appears in the Iranian chart that disruptive events will come up in 2014 – 2015, more serious than what is happening at present and that will be happening later on this year and into next. As for Afghanistan, it was 29 years ago that Russia invaded. Repercussions stemming from that invasion will be felt this and next year due to the Saturn return cycle as well. The United States and Russia are now forming closer ties; the link to Afghanistan  is significant. In the Afghanistan chart Mercury is at 29 degrees Cancer in the 4th house. The solar eclipse on July 22nd will also register in Afghanistan negatively affecting the land, landed interests, and cash crops. There will be a concerted effort of the US and Russia to destroy the opium business in Afghanistan that will meet with hostile reactions of the Afghan farmers connected to the Taliban and related terrorist organizations.

The coming eclipses, especially the solar eclipse of July 22nd are pointing to a big earthquake, very probably in Asia as the eclipse will be visible there, especially in China. The solar eclipse at  29 degrees Cancer suggests a possible tsunami coming sometime in the weeks or months following the eclipse. The effects of a strong solar eclipse such as this one last at least one year during which there are bound to be periodic repercussions.

To go back a bit, the New Moon chart of June 22nd shows that there were a number of news-worthy deaths of celebrities in the entertainment field as well as fatal air crashes. This pattern, especially of air crashes over water, deserves watching as it may continue through the summer.

The Lunar Eclipse of July 07 is at 15 degrees Capricorn. A lunar eclipse in the middle of the sign Capricorn is said to bring incursions, assaults of soldiers, robberies and captivities. Countries and regions under Capricorn include India, Pubjab, Afghanistan, Macedonia, Greece, Albania, Bosnia, Bulgaria, Mexico and other places prone to violence at this time. The eclipse also suggests renewed pirate activity. The lunar eclipse also suggests that there will be an increase of US military activity. Uranus is in the 10th house in DC in the lunar eclipse chart. This means that there will be sudden and unexpected developments in Government circles which will require careful management. Nonetheless, it appears that the trouble, whatever it is, will be gotten around and averted.

The lunation period beginning with the new moon on May 24th and culminating with the full moon on June 7th, as read from Washington D.C., points out the following developments in the U.S.:

The new moon falling in the 12th house points, on the one hand, to an increase in crime, and trouble in connection to hospitals and prisons, and on the other hand, to possible legislative developments that aim to benefit the poor and improve housing conditions, especially in impoverished locations. These legislative developments, however, will likely be held back or up-staged, and by full moon, conditions of crime and poverty along with poor conditions in hospitals and prisons will only have worsened. Crime appears linked to deaths by contaminated drugs, or poisoning. There may also be deaths in the country linked to contaminated foods.

The new moon chart shows sudden and unexpected developments in Government circles that will require careful management. These appear linked to international relations and trade that will loom up in importance by full moon. These developments are also connected to problems in big business, the stock market, public expenditures and government bailouts. On a positive note, the entire lunation period favors the areas of publishing and entertainments.

The Chinese chart made for the lunation period shows a continuing tendency in the country to worry. The entire summer period, according to the Chinese chart for the summer, has very strong indications of a general condition of anxiety in the country. The lunation chart, in addition, points to a growing spirit of intolerance and shows the need to cultivate calm reflection to remedy poor planning and bad decision making. This is a weak period for business, and people in general are being competitive. The Chinese chart also shows distinct indications of romance. Romance in an atmosphere of intolerance makes for a dangerous atmosphere. Relationships, including marriages are vulnerable. Nonetheless, this is a favorable time for people to get married.

The Chinese chart reduced to an I Ching hexagram gives us hexagram 27, The Corners of the Mouth, line 6. The hexagram’s image is that of a dragon in a deep pool. It tells us to hold to the good and keep far away from evil actions. Pay attention to providing nourishment, and be mindful of your words. The 6th line advises us to persevere despite difficulties. The advice for those in positions of power is to nourish others impartially. Recognition of responsibilities will being good fortune.
