Thanks to all the smartypants, especially, of course, Mr. Gary Caton!!

Really appreciated your thoroughness and insight! Thanks very much for this. Really helped me to understand the Full Moon on the 29th a lot better. Great work!

I’m the 1973 one, so the ’92 eclipse was in my last semester of high school, going into college (which makes sense with it).

We’ll see what this one brings.

Thanks for your time and info. It’s definitely helpful. And I like the Oz reference!

Of course, as an astrologer i can’t help but astrologize everything and so it is no surprise I see the characters of OZ as representations of archetypes -a way of relating to our “inner planets”

Aunt Em = Moon
Dorothy, the heroine = Sun
Scarecrow = Mercury “if I only had a brain”
Tin Main = Venus “if I only had a heart”
Cowardly Lion = Mars “if I only had courage”
Glinda = Jupiter “the greater benefic”
WOW (wicked witch of west) = Saturn “the greater malefic”
Wizard = Uranus “the exotic foreigner with Promethean technology”

Interesting article! I was born on one of the eclipse days mentioned. Astrologically speaking, is this upcoming eclipse supposed to have any special significance because of that or should it be the same for all Capricorns?

Thanks!

Seriously, though, I think we have reached a point where we may have to agree to disagree because truthfully there is no proof and probably will not ever be any proof for any kind of astrology.

That is basically because we are probably both “right” here. This earthquake is related to both past and future eclipses I’m sure. If we went back and found the last eclipse to actually be visible in Port au Prince I would virtually guarantee you we’d find some very interesting symbology -cuz that’s what we do!

For my part, Saturn as the Lord of the Eclipse stationing Rx before it symbolizes events occurring prior.

For me, Capricorn is the sign of Govt or “The State” because it is a trans-personal sign.

The first 4 signs are personal, the next 4 interpersonal and all 8 are ruled by personal planets (classically). Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio all need a personal “other” to perform for/with, serve, be partner to and merge with…

in Sag the other becomes Trans-personal -The Church, in Capricorn the “other” becomes The State, In Aquarius the other is Humanity and in Pisces -The Universe!

Thus, the last 4 signs are ruled by the social planets accordingly. I think we would do better to call Jupiter and Saturn Trans-Personal planets (because they lie beyond the personal planets) and then the outers would be Trans-Social or Trans-Cultural…

This would explain why, with Pluto, Eris, Quaoar, Varuna and Sedna all being intimately involved that peoples from all over the World are coming together…perhaps we need these disaster to teach us how to come together globally?

Anyway, I am not interested in further debating or explaining how this eclipse is related to any specific event. I’ll leave that to anyone else who may be interested.

What interests me personally is how, going forward, our experience of the Capricorn and Saturn archetypes changes post-eclipse. I will be looking for the signs that this is happening -cuz that’s what I do!

24cap30 square Saturn
25cap01 solar eclipse
25cap01 square Mercury
25cap34 Part of Change

At Tyl’s forum a few hours ago I wrote: “Anyway, my thinking might change on this, and also how I communicate my thoughts on the subject.”

I used the UT instead of local time when doing the chart for the earthquake. So the orb for the Yod with the Solar Eclipse is now just under 3 degrees, a bit wide for me to get excited about. The rest I wrote about Fortunae and Uranus setting is also poo.

Fixed stars continually amaze me. Saturn stationed retrograde exactly on Zaniah: “An attribute of Zaniah can be seen in the Mercury-Venus-in-Libra talent for negotiating peace. One attribute which a good commander must surely need is an intuition for knowing to call a halt to battle and either offer or seek terms for peace.” [The Living Stars, Dr. Eric Morse, p.69-70.]

I totally agree with you about the relevance of Saturn square Pluto, and Saturn station RX to this earthqauke. So the only point of contention now is which of the solar eclipses seems to have had the most influence.

You say tomorrows Capricorn eclipse because it is in the sign of Capricorn (Govt and Agency). Where is the emperical evidence that the sign of Capricorn has anything at all to do with goverment? 25cap01 is out on its own in the chart for the earthquake. Yes, maybe conjunct Venus but that’s no reason for an earthquake surely.

The previous Cancer solar eclipse for starters was a much more dramatic eclipse, the longest one for the rest of our lives. Cancer could rule governments just as much as Capricorn does, there is no proof otherwise that I have ever seen. In the earthquake chart, 29can27 is quincunx the Moon (28′) and quincunx Jupiter (33′), making the last eclipse the action point of a very tight Yod configuration. Yods are very powerful configurations, intense energy is formed which needs release.

Other astrological factors which may explain this earthquake (better than a Capricorn eclipse) include the tight configurations between Eris, Quaoar, Varuna and Sedna (all within 13′). There was also another tight configuration with the slow movers during the Samoan earthquake last year.

Shorter term triggers could have included Uranus setting (12′) and the Part of Fortune conjunct the last quarter Moon (27′). This last point I think is significant because that last quarter Moon represents the very last lunation period (last week) in the life of this previous eclipse.
