Eclipse collection

We are in solar Aries time which this year is also eclipse season wherein events move quickly and in some circumstances, furiously. The March 25 lunar eclipse was at 5°07’ Libra; the total solar eclipse in on April 8 at Aries 19°23’ . (A total solar eclipse is easy to recognize on a chart wheel — the lunation will be within 5° of the node, in this case, the North Node.)

Wade Caves writes on the Baltimore bridge collapse in this post on Skyscript. With his customary thoroughness, Wade looks at the March 26 event and the chart for the opening of the bridge. “The event chart features an angular Moon in Libra, ruler of the 8th house of destruction, conjunct the South Node – a mere half a degree apart. The Moon governs shipping, logistics, and travel by sea. Together, this conjunction indicates that a critical error in navigation was made, leading to the devastating collapse of the bridge, a vital component of Baltimore’s infrastructure.”

Within that article, Wade links to his previous webinar on The lunar nodes in practice wherein he looks at the astronomy of the nodes, historical references and “how much weight to put on them in interpretation.” (1 hour, 36 minutes. Transcript provided)
