Thanks for this..I’m going to check the link you sent..

this is great research you have done with the famous personalities. Most especially with the links to changes in religion. This eclipse is linked closely with the dramatic Julian eclipse of 363 AD, a very critical time for the foundation of the Christian Church: http://funkastrology.co.uk/blog2/?p=42

What a beautiful report.

Thank you very much for coming by & participating..

Were you in this area (Ashland) in the past few years?

Seems like we have spoken?

What a wonderful and open discussion in such a profound field…man’s mirrored relationship with the cosmos!

A couple comments follow from personal experience. I have +25 degree Cancer at my MC with Uranus at nearly 5 degrees of Leo in the 10th, therefore this eclipse is on my MC/Uranus midpoint. My “first life” was that of a professional mining engineer (Scorpio on the 2nd cusp, Saturn in Scorpio in the 2nd, with Pluto conjunct Sun at 11th cusp). My grandfather on my Mother’s (Cancer ruling Moon) side was a miner frustrated by not having a degree and watching “the parade of idiots” around him throughout his life who rose up the career ladder. He was dead before I was born, however, our Mom’s influence saw both her sons enter the mining engineering field (both of us have Uranus in the 10th and Saturn in Scorpio).

In the past 15 years of surrender and holism pursuit, several mystical healing experiences (Chiron in the 4th in exact sextile to Moon in 6th) concerning what the Australian aboriginals call the ‘dream line’ have been had…resonating deeply with Mary Plumb’s “primitive emotions” or “most deeply buried in the unconscious”. These deep re-membering experiences have particularly been powerful where the heavens have been dearly regarded and ciphered closely in antiquity, such as Stonehenge, Chaco Canyon, Bali, etc.

As a partial result of these experiences, I’ve been conducting a Mystery School of Awakened Re-membering around the western U.S. for the past several years synthesizing and catalyzing the essential union of ancient and modern wisdom traditions to illuminate our cycles of Oneness.

On the evening of the recent Summer Solstice & Father’s day and very nearby the Super New Moon, my Father (92 3/4 yrs) passed onto his next adventure (My Uranus/MC midpoint falling under the forthcoming eclipse shadow). As he always said, “I’ll live till I die”.

He truly did live until he died, quoting his poems right till the end. He passed peacefully in his sleep in his rural Montana home he built with my Mom 61 years ago with the creek pounding nearby, his cats and his wife and a few power Goddesses all around him…all just as he had wanted to…testimony to the antiquity of his soul and non-resistance learned therein.

The date of the Celebration Service was arranged by my Brother who is not into astrology whatsoever. However, it was held on Saturday, 7/18/09, shortly before the powerful eclipse, which fell on my Dad’s natal (and progressed retrograde) Saturn.

The sacred science of astrology helps us unravel the concepts of time back to our essence and unified roots. Blessed be all those re-membering paradigm pioneers of the Craft that have stood their ground in the blast furnace with the masses that would have them be different.

Thank you all…

I did read a gossipy report somewhere online that John Travolta is considering leaving The Church of Scientology where he has been a prominent member since 1975. (You may recall that his 16 year old son tragically died this past January.)

Also David Lynch has a web series The Interview Project. He’s traveling around the country interviewing ‘ordinary Americans’ in these “hardscrabble times.” (I read about it on the day of the eclipse, although it’s been going for awhile.)

It’s a beautiful series that I think is showing the realities of life here in America now – not on Wall Street, but on Main Street, as we seem to be saying..I wonder if Cancer/Capricorn highlights the gap between the rulers and the general public?

Thanks for the great insights..here’s the US Sibly chart, in case any readers want to look at what you’re referring to..(I think you meant the July 7 lunar eclipse at 15°24′ Capricorn, quote close to the US Sibly Sun at 13°19′ Cancer, square the US Saturn)

I thought Mr. Carter’s trine in water including the Moon as MC ruler was especially evocative of his supporting women..I also noticed the next eclipse (Full Moon on August 5 14° Leo/Aquarius) square his natal Moon. The 10th, of course, related to reputation, all in all, I do think it was a very bold personal move on his part..being a life-long Southern Baptist, as he writes in his letter..and occurring at the eclipse, it’s bound to have long lasting (and unexpected) implications for his life (especially followed by this next eclipse squaring the radix Moon). Also, the Ascendant degree, 26 of the cardinals, is a critical degree..

A quick follow up about the people in the news mentioned above. Jimmy Carter’s MC is at 28°28′ Cancer. The Ascendant is 26°08′ Libra.

On the day of the eclipse, July 21, the former president issued a statement that he is severing his ties with the Southern Baptist church over its treatment of women.

In the natal chart, the Moon, ruler of the MC is at 14° Scorpio, part of a water trine with Pluto at 14° Cancer and Uranus at 19° Pisces..
