The October 14 Eclipse in Astrology
An extremely difficult day around the world needs great care.
THE SOLAR ECLIPSE BEGINS AT 12.08PM IN NEW YORK on Saturday 14th October. It is a New Moon in Libra but also a cover-up and blind spot. The issue is not just what is being concealed, but also the opposition from Mercury at 17 Libra to Chiron at 17 Aries.
This is not just about New York. It is also about New Zealand, where there is an election and Australia, where there is a referendum. Why don’t politicians check these things before they call critical dates when public pressure is high? Aries is ruled by Mars and comes with heat. The planet packs heat.
HERE IS THE ECLIPSE IN MELBOURNE on Saturday night, 14th October. I’ve posted this before on Substack, but Aboriginal people have traditionally shunned eclipses. Unfortunately there has been a lack of research on the part of PM Anthony Albanese and his government. They’ve chosen an eclipse for The Voice referendum on First Nations people.
AUCKLAND NEW ZEALAND HAS A CHART too. It’s hit not only by the eclipse but by an opposition from the Moon to Pluto. Again, we have the ‘packing heat’ sign Aries involved. This is an unwise choice for a voting weekend. You can see the Libra-Aries conflicts built into the city.
Differences and divisions. From 1840 this was white settlement against Maori people. There are other issues in this election too. Race and religion have been raised. And all this as a jihad has been declared by a former Hamas leader, worldwide.
The eclipse has special meaning in the Quran as well as among other belief systems. An eclipse is considered a sign of Allah, in fact.
ECLIPSES HISTORICALLY OCCUR DURING A COVER-UP. They are neither good nor bad, they just show our global blind spot. Usually the truth is in plain sight and we don’t see it.
Normally an eclipse would be just another case of not seeing the facts when they are staring us in the face.
The problem with this eclipse is that beyond New York, Melbourne and Auckland every country of the world will see an Aries-Libra conflict.
Aries is ruled by Mars the god of war. Libra is the scales of justice. How people interpret that in the current dangerous climate in Israel and Gaza is right on the line.
WE ALSO HAVE AN EXACT OPPOSITION from the South Node at 24 Libra to the North Node at 24 Aries, which brings in karma from the past.
You won’t find too many astrologers welcoming this eclipse. Why New Zealand had to hold an election near it (and Australia a referendum) nobody knows.
Be aware of these pressure points in politics where you live and in general, just remember old astrology rules. Act or judge another time.
It's always interesting to follow up a prediction, straight afterwards. Anna Hollings was correct. The New Zealand election outcome was a shock. In Australia, the majority of states voted against The Voice. In Paris The Louvre was evacuated on Saturday 15th October, the day of the eclipse.
Interesting how the US House of Representatives (one of the two legislative bodies) continues in its failure to elect a leader. With no leader, the House cannot do business and the legislative work has ground to a halt. With the eclipse I’m concerned the majority party (right - Republicans) will pick someone even worse than Kevin McCarthy. The minority party (Democrats) only need to pull off five centrist Republicans to form a coalition government, something that we have never done in the US. The impact of the eclipse continues to be interesting.
