The #Astrology and Politics of the February 10-11 #LunarEclipse

Partial Lunar Eclipse 2014

Partial Lunar Eclipse 2014

(Astrology Explored) A Lunar Eclipse in the early hours of Saturday February 11 follows the Friday February 10, 2017 Full Moon. It’s symbolism should make us all sit up and take notice. In the cosmic dance of the heavenly bodies, a lunar eclipse occurs when the earth is between the moon and the sun, shielding the moon from the light of the sun. The stage for this eclipse sits in the US chart in the ninth house of legal issues.

An eclipse ignites an area of sensitivity a natal chart for at least six months. For the United States this eclipse moon is opposite the US natal moon in Aquarius. But even more pressing the eclipse moon is part of Yod, called the Finger of God, with transiting Chiron, which I call “the planet of something wrong” and Pluto, who most astrologers calls the planet of transformation.
Chiron and Pluto forces their energy up the lines of their respective inconjuncts to the eclipse moon fixing it in place and forcing the chart native to deal with this issue.
Because the energy of the Yod is explosively intense, the events that arise out of the Yod feels destined or fated.

Moon in Aquarius concerns itself with humanitarian issues and the rights of the public at large. This eclipse moon lands in the ninth house of legal issues. So we are going to see a lot of back and forth about the rights of the people.

Furthermore, the United States will engage in discussions about the rights of “foreign” people. I say this because the modern ruler of Aquarius is Uranus, and the US natal Uranus sits on the cusp of the seventh house of foreign affairs and trade, foreign policies, the law and interestingly enough countersuits. The seventh house can also be “enemies of the state,” so expect that rhetoric too.

Donald Trump instigates this back and forth. His Mars in Leo conjoins the eclipse moon in the US Sibly Chart.

For Trump personally this is going to be a difficult time. Sakoian and Acker say:

Anger and loss of temper over petty annoyances are common to this transit. Family quarrels and domestic and business aggravation are possible.
Family financial needs motivate the individual’s business and professional ambitions during this period… This is not a favorable time for dealing with women. Salesmen or aggressive people may be a source of annoyance to the individual. In general it is important to exercise control over the emotions and, at the same time, remain sensitive to the feelings of others. Emotional upsets can cause indigestion during this transit.

With transiting Pluto inconjunct Trump’s Mars we can expect more, if not an increase of, the same out of control behavior we’ve seen in the first days of Trumps administration. Should he pursue an appeal against the recent ruling against his travel ban, it will not go well for him. The resulting fight will only reveal his deficits being able to govern effectively with the powers that Congress gives and the Judiciary oversees. The Ninth Circuit court could not have said it more strongly. There is no action that the President takes that is unreviewable. The President or the Congress can make no law or take action that is unconstitutional.

With both Pluto and Chiron literally dancing around his Mars he may experience a loss of energy and vitality, as well as problems with his feet and gastrointestinal tract that go beyond indigestion. There’s more, but I won’t go into them. All these things will be kept secret from the American public, of course. But whatever happens remember that this Pluto is closing in on his Mars. The closer it comes in aspect his problems will intensify.

You can’t count him out. He won a presidency will Saturn was transiting his natal moon. But a Saturn-Moon conjunction is restrictive and often stresses out an individual to the point of depression. But he also has Mercury in Cancer. He will hold his position like a dog with a bone. So we will see how this all shakes out.

As for us personal look to the place where 12 degrees Aquarius to 2 degrees Virgo is in your chart. (I use wide orbs, other astrologers may not) This is the place illuminated in your chart, where you will feel the events ruled by these houses fell destined to happen. Read for the area where Leo resides.

You can get a simple list of your planetary positions and house cusps here.
