The powerful eclipse at 29 degrees of Virgo

 

The first of the fall eclipses fell at 15 degrees of Pisces. Pisces is the natural ruler of the 12^th house of endings and its planetary rulers are Jupiter and Neptune.

At the time of this post we are in the eclipse corridor which basically means we can expect to see a great deal of turmoil in the world and our lives if an eclipse hits your chart in an adverse way.

The world seems on fire at this time with 2 wars and a high profile assassination in the US last week followed by intense vitriol that shows no sign of slowing down especially from the top. We can expect to see shocking events that will likely not end until the latter part of the month and it is and will be a stressful time for many.

Eclipses can be like wildcards and often coincide with unexpected events and major changes in our lives.

Solar eclipse in Virgo September 21st

Eclipses come in pairs so the September 7^th lunar eclipse is followed by a solar eclipse at 29 degrees of Virgo on September 21st. Virgo rules the 6^th house opposite the 12^th so these 2 eclipses set off the 6^th/12^th house axis in astrology. The 6^th house or Virgo eclipse rules health, work and service to others so we need to watch health related matters personally and globally.  It is a known fact that Covid is spreading rapidly again at this time so take care of yourself.

Virgo is ruled by Mercury the planet of communitarian, commerce young people and travel so communication will be important at this time.

What is most significant is this eclipses opposition to Saturn.

 The 29^th degree and 0 degrees are considered anaretic degrees which means they are associated with karmic situations and intense experiences that can indicate turning points or even endings as discussed already. 29 degrees is also considered a peak before a new cycle begins. Not only is the eclipse at 29 degrees opposing Saturn the Sun at 29 degrees opposing Saturn as well. This gives the eclipse a restrictive feeling and many things can end, even in the world and collective.

Saturn and the Sun are conjunct the fixed star Scheat.  According to Robson, 'Scheat is indicative of extreme misfortune, murder, suicide and downing.'

Mars is in Libra at 29 degrees as well so this is an eclipse that can bring substantial events in our lives and the world.

The Sun-Moon opposing Saturn can be negative, repressive, tiring and critical. Some relationships may end that could include business, romantic or otherwise along with relationships on the world stage. When the anaretic degree is involved whatever ends does not come back. If you have been living and viewing the world though rose colored glasses they will come off at the time of the Virgo eclipse.

This eclipse also opposes Neptune and these transits transits can be connected with sneaky, behind door situations where information only comes out after the fact. It can also deal with confusion, delusion, lies and looking at things in an  unrealistic manner.

Since Mars enters Scorpio 12 hours after the lunar peak this becomes part of the eclipse energy as well. Mars-Pluto transits are associated with cruelty, violence, war, police and military events. This is one of the darker Mars aspects so use care. This will play out in the world in a significant way. At times this can be connected to financial matters and money and we are approaching another government deadline with threats of shutting down the government. It won’t be easy getting a budget passed. We can expect the hot spots to erupt around the globe or new events occur. Often with this aspect new information comes to light.

You will be affected to a greater degree by this eclipse if you have planets in Gemini, Virgo, Pisces or Sagittarius in the late degrees. Also planets Fixed planets at 0-2 degrees will be hit by Mars.  Otherwise we can look for this to be a serious time in the world and personally as well as being tiring and draining. With the Mars-Pluto square anger may be rampant so if you push someone expect pushback in return, perhaps to a greater extent than you think.

This eclipse stands out in a significant way in the chart of Tennessee. I’m sure it stands out in many others but my time looking at them is limited.

Take care.
