Transits in the outer ring are for July 1, 2011

DATA:  March 1, 1867 - Lincoln, Nebraska....time unknown

The Missouri River floods of June 2011. 

Forecasters state the 6 to 12 inches of rainfall in the upper Missouri basin in the past few weeks is nearly a normal year's worth, while runoff from the mountain snowpack is 140% of normal.  This double whammy has forced federal officials to release water at nearly double old records from six reservoirs on the upper Missouri River from Montana through South Dakota, which will continue into August, endangering communities from Montana to St. Louis, MO.

North of Omaha, Nebraska Missouri River floodwaters threatened a nuclear power plant in Fort Calhoun and in southeastern Nebraska near Brownville, then continued downstream where the flooded river menaced downstream levees running hundreds of miles.

The flooding has forced road closures, including a highway bridge from Iowa into Nebraska, which will be shut down on Wednesday, June 29th.

THE ASTRO:  Transiting URANUS, which has been square its natal position in Cancer - a water sign - for most of the month, formed an exact aspect on June 17th, while transiting SATURN applies to a square of natal MARS and opposes natal NEPTUNE.  To complicate matters, the July 1st Solar Eclipse @ 9* Cancer 12' conjoins natal MARS.  The crisis continues unabated.

JUNE 30, 2011...ADDENDUM

The release of water into the Missouri River from Gavins Point Dam near Yankton, South Dakota affects cities and towns downstream throughout Nebraska and Iowa with the worst flooding ever seen.  The following video warns and asks for your prayers:

SOLAR ECLIPSE JULY 1, 2011

Click on chart to enlarge.

Data:  July 1, 2011 @ 4:55 A.M. EDT - Washington, D.C.

A Cardinal Grand Square

(Cross) commands this chart, as the eclipse falls into the 1st house, opposing Pluto and squaring the Saturn/Uranus opposition.  The dynamics of planets in Cardinal signs are energetic and highly vigorous and when in square aspect, greatly agitated, leading to impulsive action, reckless moves, and bad timing.

Mercury, ruler of the Gemini Rising chart, is positioned in the 2nd house of the financial state of the nation on a late (crisis) degree of Cancer...poised on the threshold of a new cycle.  Trine to 10th house Uranus, it holds the key to the Cardinal Cross, as - to a lesser degree - does 11th house Jupiter trine Pluto.  Bankers to right of us, congressmen to left of us, corporatists in front of us, Volley'd and thunder'd; Storm'd at with shot and shell, Boldly we rode and well, Into the jaws of Death, Into the mouth of Hell, Rode the six hundred.  (apologies to Tennyson).

Mars in Gemini located in the 12th house separating from a square to 9th house Neptune speaks to recent duplicitous activity involving international events.  With Mars conjoined USA progressed 6th house Uranus, military entanglement seems likely during the life of this eclipse.

Uranus square 1st house Venus, co-ruler of the 4th and 12th houses, warns of sudden changes in the country's social situation and the state of their currency.  Perhaps *because* of the currency change.  The 4th and 12th house implications speak of criminal activity connected to the nation's farmlands...the afflictions to 4th house Saturn suggesting the criminals to be those in positions of authority.  As Pluto trumps Saturn, plutarchy reigns supreme.

Areas of trouble:  Agitated citizens; weather anomalies and a further slide in real estate values); foreign affairs provide grief; and the ever-lovin' executive branch of government undergoes a radical change (Uranus in 10th).

ASTROLOGY AND HEALTH: CANCER

ZODIAC SIGN OF THE MONTH - CANCER

Each sign of the zodiac rules a specific part of the human body and has requirements distinct from all other zodiacal signs.  In the human body Cancer rules the lower part of the lungs, the breasts, the diaphragm, the stomach and may have influence over the spleen.  Physiologically, Cancer governs expansion and contraction, elasticity and tenacity.  It is a fluidic sign and all the organs it rules are concerned with the secretion of fluids.

The biochemic salt related to this sign is Calcium fluoride, a hard substance possessing a peculiar property of elasticity.  It is an important constituent of the enamel of the teeth, the fingernails, bones, crystalline lens of the eye, and in the elastic fiber of all muscular tissue.  When deficient the skin becomes cracked, there is prolapsed organs, varicose veins, hardening of the arteries, cataracts, blurred vision, hard growths, valvular heart troubles, hemorrhoids, receding gums, and loose teeth...all indications that the tissues have lost their elasticity.

There is a fine membrane similar to a spider web covering the brain that requires Calcium fluoride to be strong, pliable and elastic so that thoughts are quickly and easily connected to produce a good memory or in Cancer-speak, a tenacious memory (ability to hold on to thoughts).  These tiny web-like filaments become flabby when this tissue (cell) salt is deficient thus, connection of thought becomes difficult, the result being a poor memory or forgetfulness...which is lack of mental elasticity.

Usually when a situation calls for Calcium fluoride, the tissue salt Silica is also required, as both these salts work in conjunction with one another, are extremely hard substances, and the actions of these salts in the body is to make firm and tighten up any tissues or organs that are relaxed or prolapsed.

People who were born with the Sun or Moon in Cancer or Sagittarius or have Cancer or Sagittarius on the Ascendant, and when planets in Cancer or Sagittarius or the Ascendant are under progressed or transiting afflictions can avoid problems associated with these Cancer and Sagittarian cell salts and enjoy excellent health by supplying their bodies with Calcium fluoride and Silica.

Many years ago a periodontist told me that I would lose four or five teeth due to gum disease.  I requested putting off oral surgery for a few months and began to dose myself with Calcium fluoride daily.  When I returned for the pre-surgery examination, the perio-man was surprised, to say the least, to discover that I would lose only one tooth. 

HERBS THAT RESONATE WITH CANCER

Water lilies, cucumbers, squashes, melons, peppermint and water plants generally.

Digestive Aid:  Peppermint owes its healing value to its content of menthol, which appears to soothe the smooth muscle lining of the digestive tract.  It may also help to prevent stomach ulcers and stimulate bile secretion.  To make a healing infusion for stomach upset, use 1 to 2 teaspoons of dried peppermint per cup of boiling water, cover and steep ten minutes, add honey and lemon to taste.

AROMATHERAPY FOR CANCER:  ROMAN CHAMOMILE

Aromatherapy is a healing method which uses the essential oils obtained from aromatic plants and trees for therapeutic purposes.

The effect of Roman Chamomile is antiseptic, vasoconstricting, healing and beneficial for skin and hair, as well as for sensitive, dry, reddened, or itchy skin, infected wounds, abscesses, acne, and rashes.

I make a hand cream using a simple base cream such as Udderly Smooth (approximately two tablespoons) and add a few drops of Chamomile and Lavender Essential Oils, with a capsule of Vitamin E for a longer shelf life...it is excellent for chapped hands, tending to make them smooth and supple.  A formula to try for dry skin, added to a base cream: 1 drop Rose, 2 drops Roman Chamomile, 1 drop Neroli.

MINERALS THAT RESONATE WITH CANCER

Moon stone, Catseye, Pearl and such stones as are soft and white as they have the ability to improve the intuitive, receptive portion of the mind, encouraging psychic ability.  The Brow (6th) Chakra is energized by these stones as they assist in clearing the aura.

MR. PUPPY SEZ - CANCER

Moon-child kitties are the most emotional and sensitive of all animals so be sure to bestow a great deal of affection upon them.  They are the perfect pet for someone who is at home most of the time as they require a lot of reassurance that they are loved and will give love back in a show of their appreciation.

As the sign Cancer rules the stomach, Moon-child kitties may suffer sluggish digestion, especially aged kitties.  Some helpful herbs to sprinkle into their daily food are ginger and turmeric.

FOR OUR HOOMIN COMPANIONS

Cancer not only rules the stomach but also the lower part of the lungs, the breasts, and the diaphram.  Breast health can be accomplished by eating anti-cancer foods such as almonds, apples, apricots, barley, dried beans, beets (extract of beet root kills cancer cells in the laboratory), Bok Choy, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, burdock root, cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, celery, chickpeas, corn, cucumbers, dandelion, figs, flax seed, garlic, ginger, grapes, greens (collards, mustard, dandelion, nettles, kale), horseradish, lentils, millet, herbal infusions, nuts, seeds, oats, olive oil (resists rancidity...rancid oil is carcinogenic), onion, parsley, pineapple, potatoes, purslane, radishes, rhubarb, rice, rutabaga, rye, seaweed, fermented soybeans (tempeh, miso), spinach, sprouts, squash, strawberries, sunflower seeds, sweet potatoes, green tea, tomatoes, turnips, wheat grass, yogurt.

For digestive disturbance, stimulating the digestive system with a cup of freshly sliced or grated ginger root tea will do wonders for the stomach and at the same time will enhance the circulation. 

Upset stomach:  Simmer two teaspoons of freshly grated ginger or one teaspoon of dried peppermint in one cup of water in a covered pot for ten minutes.  Strain, add lemon and honey.

General Nausea:  Take one to two capsules of powdered ginger every 15 minutes until symptoms abate; do not exceed 25 capsules in one day.

GREECE - 3RD HELLENIC REPUBLIC

Transits July 1, 2011 - Solar Eclipse @ 9* Cancer 12'

The partial Solar Eclipse of July 1, 2011 @ 9* Cancer 12' falls in the 12th house conjoined natal Mercury and Saturn. 

With Mercury the eclipse brings an intellectual crisis of ideas previously held sacred that are now seen as sheer stupidity as the Greeks are challenged to begin thinking and scrutinizing things they've never before considered.

With Saturn the eclipse brings the opposite house (6th) into focus as the area of greatest responsibility to the country's workers, the laboring classes, labor organizations, wage conditions, employment and unemployment, and civil service and the fact that the time has come to shoulder these responsibilities and pay the price for wrongful action.

Today European Union leaders are gathering in Brussels attempting to prevent the default of debt carried by Greece and the collapse of the euro in the next week as they begin negotiations on a second bailout for Greece in an effort to meet the deadline of a July 11th meeting of EU finance ministers.

Looming on the horizon is the June 29th vote of Greek MPs on an austerity program, which if lost would set the scene for a 1930s style crash, as the euro zone threatens to withhold the next EU-IMF payment, setting Greece up on the path of default.

Meanwhile, on Wall Street the on-going debate is whether a Greek default would interfere with the industry's process for unwinding credit-default swaps.

FRANCE - 5TH REPUBLIC

Click on chart to enlarge.

The partial Solar Eclipse of July 1, 2011 strikes the 4th house cusp @ 9* Cancer 12' squaring natal Sun in the 6th house, a warning of danger to farmland, the crops that grow, and eventual lack of harvest.  Not only is France in jeopardy of food shortages, but the entire European Union as well, since France is the biggest farm producer for the EU.

French President Nicolas Sarkozy will certainly get noticed under this square; he obviously has crucial decisions to make and may feel unequipped to handle them.  At present he is pushing a new agricultural model, while his Agriculture Minister Bruno Le Maire at the G-20 meeting suggests limits on export bans and international regulation...which equates to allowing the borders of other countries to be controlled.  That ought to go over big.

Meanwhile, in the financial area, transiting Jupiter opposing natal Neptune (as I type) cautions against speculation and investments with other countries...which may mean the outstanding debt held by France - the country most exposed to Greek debt - is about to poke them in the eye.

In early July transiting Jupiter opposes natal Jupiter = poor judgment in financial relationships with foreigners will test the mettle of the people.

SUMMER SOLSTICE 2011

Click on chart to enlarge.

Data:  June 21, 2011 @ 1:18 P.M. EDT - Washington, D.C., with comments for the world.

The chart cast for the Vernal Equinox always bears chief rule for the ensuing year; succeeding ingresses are subsidiary to the first-named.  From the chart of the Vernal Equinox posted on March 8, 2011, we found the focal point to be public health and the nation's food supply, among other matters:

"SUN CONJOINED URANUS IN THE 6TH HOUSE puts emphasis on the nation's food supply, service workers, police and firefighters, civil service and public servants, armed forces, public health, and the working class in general.

The 6th house is one of crisis, which is to say the population will be required by events to devote more time, attention and energy to these matters than is usual."

SUMMER SOLSTICE 2011 for the USA:  The Sun is in Cancer in the 9th house with ruler Moon in 6th house Pisces, once again placing focus on public health and the food supply, this time with pressure from international events...such as Europe being consumed by financial disaster. 

T-SQUARE WITH URANUS AT APEX SQUARING SUN IN CANCER AND PLUTO IN CAPRICORN.  Uranus is a high-wired planet and in its 7th house position with the action falling across the zodiac into the house of the people, the warning is to take steps to maintain one's mental stability, to remain balanced and collected in the midst of craziness.  Reread Spring (Vernal) Equinox posted March 8th for explicit ideas of how to accomplish same.

FOR THE WORLD:  A powerful T-Square with tremendous energies will pressure people to behave in an extreme and socially explosive manner.  There is an overload of nervous electrical tension that will incline towards violent destructive action as people become a law unto themselves.  The Cardinal mode leans toward social activism and defiance, with a general state of lawlessness thrown in as Uranus is driven towards radical reform...the freedom fighter bent on overthrowing the shackles that bind.

CARDINAL COSMIC CROSS:

SATURN IN LIBRA IN 1ST HOUSE OPPOSING URANUS IN ARIES IN 4TH HOUSE...PLUTO IN CAPRICORN IN 4TH HOUSE OPPOSING MERCURY IN CANCER IN 10TH HOUSE

Karma has arrived and the pressure is on as we meet this restrictive and limiting configuration that will bring to bear struggles under frustrating conditions.  What is being induced is an internal sense of friction, strain, and pressure the ultimate purpose of which will  challenge us to create inner harmony...to do so, we must be aware so as not to draw more negative energies through the actions of others.  Therefore, do not be stirred into taking quick but often poorly planned action, rise to the challenge of learning to be more self-controlled and consistent.  The benefits will be escape from bad timing and reckless moves.

FOR THE WORLD:  Agitation to the max as the four squares increase the impatient, assertive temperament of this quality.  Pitfalls include impetuosity, reckless moves, bad timing, over-assertion, and confrontations with others.  Any of the planets involved occupying the 10th house (such as Mercury in the USA 10th) means the governments of said countries will be predisposed towards these pitfalls.  Moral of the Cosmic Cross:  Endurance.

MARS SQUARE NEPTUNE IN THE 5TH HOUSE strongly suggests prudence in stock market investing and trading because with Neptune afflicted, what you see is not necessarily what is...deception, dissolution, disappear are the keywords.

FOR THE WORLD:  Deceitful actions give pause as a lack of clarity of the motivations of others renders an inability to act...often taking a break to reflect in the midst of upheaval is of enormous benefit.

SATURN INCONJUNCT THE MOON IN THE 6TH HOUSE...

The error in thinking there is an obligation to others while allowing the country's own needs of dietary sustenance to go unaddressed.

FOR THE WORLD:  Dealing with the burden of submission to others.

SATURN TRINE VENUS IN THE 9TH HOUSE...Benefit via the judiciary branch...indeed, on June 17th it was announced that the Supremes unanimously held that not just states but individuals have standing to challenge federal laws as violations of state sovereignty under the 10th Amendment.  A tip of the hat and an 'about time' they honored the Constitution.  Credit to Sherrie for the heads-up.

FOR THE WORLD:  Practicality in relationships with other countries, especially in the realm of currencies.

PLUTO TRINE JUPITER IN THE 8TH HOUSE...the Plutocracy, in their lust for acquisition of wealth (Jupiter in the 1st decanate of Taurus), moves to reform policies:  social security, private pension plans, credit resources.

FOR THE WORLD:  Political success for some countries, financial success for others...at least those countries without a strong desire to reform policies out of their need to control...which will eventually backfire.

NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE - REORGANIZATION CHART

The Full Moon Lunar Eclipse of June 15, 2011 @ 24* Sagittarius 23' falls on Uranus in the 5th house of the reorganization chart, triggering both the Uranus/Pluto opposition and the dissociate T-Square: Uranus/Neptune opposition with Mars at the Apex.  Hoo boy!

An eclipsed Uranus in the 5th house guarantees a sudden turn of events related to the marketplace and a need to be flexible to the max.  In addition to disruption over the course of the next six months, the activation of the oppositions to Pluto and Neptune will produce forced changes while under the influence of confusion.  Is yet another reorganization in the works and if so, how might that affect one's stock holdings?  Adding more fuel to the fire, transiting Sun is contra-parallel natal Uranus, Moon is parallel...is it patriotic, spiritual, or moral to hold shares in war-mongering companies (euphemistically called defense stocks)?

The war in Iraq and the U.S. congress (deliberately lower case):

In the first full year after the war was initiated, republican and democratic lawmakers (oxymoron) invested between $74.9 million and $161.3 million in companies under contract with the Department of Defense.  Not only that, the congressmen and women gave themselves a loophole with the IRS so they could be off as much as 160% in their tax reports.

In 2006, 151 members of congress had invested close to a quarter-BILLION dollars in companies that had received defense contracts of at least $5 million.  Said companies were granted $275.6 BILLION of tax dollars belonging to the American public...about $755 million per day, from which our pseudo-representatives profited to the tune of between $15.8 million and $62 million in personal income from 2004 through 2006, through dividends, capital gains, royalties and interest.  Wealth at the expense of the lives of young Americans in government's forever wars.

"All the perfumes of Arabia will not sweeten this little hand."  Macbeth

The day after the eclipse transiting Mercury will form a square to natal Mars on the last degree of Virgo (unstable worldly conditions), while transiting Pluto parallels natal Saturn...that may spell trouble in the nation's food supply - thus in agricultural stocks - and/or in the edible commodity department or in getting edibles from here to there, as in transportation issues. 

FIRST, DO NO HARM

Fear mongering is defined as the use of fear to influence the opinions and actions of others towards some specific end.  The feared subject is usually repetitious and often exaggerated in order to continuously reinforce the intended effects.

Emotion generates and liberates electromagnetic energy that can be used magically.  There are two types of magic, white and black, the former for purposes of good and the latter for purposes of evil.  Those who practice black magic require the type of electromagnetic energy that has need of great volume and low-frequency, thus, everything is made use of that is terrifying.  The emotion of fear.  The emotion that forces individuals in constant attunement with it to lower their dominant vibrations.  Lest there is any doubt in your mind:  Black Magic Feeds Upon Fear!

More often than not Biblical passages are quoted to compare current events with Bible prophecy, never taking into consideration that the enemies of the people and their welfare also read the Bible.  There is little doubt in my mind that "they" also use linguistic analysis, astrology, -  especially the lunations...and also numerology...to coordinate their actions for the purpose of driving and keeping the people in a continuous state of fear...because fear - in its characteristic lack of love - renders one incapable of spiritual evolution. The result is that every You Tube offering is accepted as gospel, loud-mouth ranters are seen as advocates of the people (instead of controlled opposition), and church ministers are preaching the end is near.

Consider this, if you will:  Fear is a method of control, in some cases in an attempt to wring love from your very beingness...in other cases being based on an end-of-the-world scenario and "they" are using Biblical prophecy to vacuum up people who are willing to lend credence to their theatrics.  As a free thinker I do not recommend that anyone follow the thoughts of another, mine included, therefore, my suggestion is that you do not take my word for it.  Instead, become familiar with and examine the God-given keys of Solomon's Temple, which is to say planetary interaction, and you would know that the world will not end by fire until the Vernal Equinox goes down in the west as if submerged, the Fiery Furnace - Crater - rises in the east, triumphant, and starts pouring fire down upon the earth.  And to time this event, the Pleiades are then directly on the midheaven at the rising of the Sun.  We are looking at approximately 4,000 A.D.

FULL MOON LUNAR ECLIPSE JUNE 15, 2011

Click on chart to enlarge.

This chart is set for Washington, D.C., and brings to fruition the financial crisis described in the New Moon chart of June 1st.

The eclipse falls into the Sagittarian 2nd house, thus we may expect sensational events about the financial state of the nation, the national treasury, GDP, and the nation's resources.

Scorpio Rises, natural sign of the 8th house of debt, credit, Federal Reserve, shared resources and BIG money in a degree signifying a concrete plan, which is revealed by the placement of co-ruler Mars in its detriment in Taurus (money) occupying the 7th house of foreign affairs and war, where this dysfunctional government intends to solve the monetary woes they themselves have created.  Be assured that the children and grandchildren of congressmen, high ranking Washington officials, the Supremes, Wall Street CEOs, Corporate leaders, corporations involved in devastating our food supplies with Frankenfood, pharmaceutical company executives, Bilderbergers, Council on Foreign Relations, and all others connected with the new world order will not find themselves on the firing line as cannon fodder.  In this way the blood of your children and grandchildren will be spilled on their behalf to enrich themselves, rather than to water the Tree of Liberty.

SATURN CYCLE

Click on chart to enlarge.

IN A CYCLE CHART, which is erected for the longitude and latitude of the place where its influence is to be ascertained for the exact moment the planet crosses from South Declination to North Declination (0* N 0'), the house occupied by the planet for which the chart is erected becomes unusually important as indicating the starting point from which the influence emanates which brings about the most important events which transpire during the life of the cycle.

In the current cycle chart Saturn occupies the 5th house:  the stock market and stock exchange; speculation; places where education is dispensed; places of amusement (theaters, movies, etc.); ambassadors from foreign countries.

SATURN IN MUNDANE ASTROLOGY

Like Jupiter, Saturn is a business planet, having an influence over the business trend in a country with a tendency to contraction and to measures of protection as by nature, Saturn is the planet of safety, economy and poverty.  Under affliction we may expect losses of various kinds.  Saturn rules the land, the buildings on the land, the crops which grow from the soil, the mineral wealth under the ground, and basic utilities like steel, lumber and coal.  The weather also comes under his rulership and so destruction of crops and buildings through flood, storms, and when Mars plays a part even through fire, comes under this planet's jurisdiction.

In financial matters, Saturn's influence following extravagances of an afflicted Jupiter such as we have experienced (Jupiter square Pluto in the Jupiter Cycle Chart) leads to a time of depression.

Saturn's aspects:  opposition Mars in Libra in the 11th house; sextile Uranus, Jupiter and Mercury in Aquarius in the 3rd house; trine Pluto in Sagittarius in the 1st house.  Thus, we have four planets in two houses (1st and 3rd) that reconcile the Mars/Saturn opposition wherein the negative energies are more easily disbursed.

At present Saturn is preparing to make a station on June 13th at 10* Libra 27' in the 11th house of congress trine natal Mercury in the 3rd house, ruling the 8th house of the Federal Reserve/U.S. Treasury and the national debt.  I would expect an announcement (3rd house Mercury) will be made issuing from the congress (11th house) in connection with the trillions of dollars of debt (8th house) which the country has incurred at the hands of those who work toward the destruction of the United States.  

Bear in mind that the influence of Saturn is keenest in this chart relative to the stock market...danger lurks therein because Saturn speaks of deflation and is about to make a station on a degree meaning object lessons are at hand...protect yourselves!

JUPITER CYCLE CHART 2011-2022

Click on chart to enlarge.
Note:  This cycle is functional through May 25, 2022

JUPITER IN MUNDANE ASTROLOGY.

The influence of Jupiter on everything he contacts is in the direction of expansion.  Lavish expenditures and higher prices are the name of the game, whether in matters of wages, in the price to be paid for produce, or in the investment of capital.  The problem occurs when Jupiter is involved in a challenging aspect with another planet, for then the tendency is toward extravagance, to purchases at a price far above their real worth, or what may reasonably be expected from them in the way of financial returns.

Progressed aspects of Jupiter in the cycle chart will usually attract more events related to finances than any other one thing.  Also to be taken into consideration are 9th house matters, Jupiter's natural field of play:  commerce, interstate commerce in particular, treaties, ships which travel the sea, and the courts.

In the current cycle, a 1st house Jupiter is conjoined Uranus and square both Venus and Pluto in Capricorn in the 10th house of credit...thus the USA is malfunctioning in the financial sector directly due to malfeasance of government agencies (10th house), such as the U.S. Treasury, the Exchange Stabilization Fund, and the Federal Reserve...to the detriment of the people (1st house).  Clearly, Jupiter separating from the conjunction to Uranus (changes) is indicative of the distribution of wealth (Jupiter) having been wrenched from the people.

On June 12, 2011, progressed/transiting Jupiter in Taurus forms a trine to natal Venus...in the news we may expect to hear of an expenditure or yet another levy upon us by the U.S. Treasury via one of their agencies.  Batten down the financial hatches, learn to live frugally so that you will survive the thievery being wrought by traitors to each and every American citizen and to our Constitutional Republic.

NEW MOON SOLAR ECLIPSE JUNE 1, 2011

Click on chart to enlarge.

A partial Solar Eclipse occurs on June 1, 2011.  The above chart has been set for Washington, D.C., and indicates conditions pinpointed by the eclipse for the people of the United States of America, with commentary regarding the affects to other countries.

Fixed signs on the angles indicate something already begun has established itself and must be taken into consideration now. 

The eclipse occurs in the 8th house, the cusp conjoined the Pleiades...something to weep about regarding the treasury and national debt.

The 1st house represents the nation's people as a whole and the general state of the nation.  The 2nd degree of Scorpio rises, which Astrologer Martin Goldsmith describes as "maintaining emotional equilibrium in difficult situations; learning to roll with the punches."

Scorpio has two rulers, Mars and Pluto.  In this chart Mars in the 7th house is in Taurus, in its detriment, depicting a weakness or inability to act with regard to the nation's allies and enemies and a vulnerability of the nation's intelligence service.

Pluto is retrograde in Capricorn, the Apex of a T-Square involving Uranus and retrograde Saturn in opposition to one another, both squaring Pluto.  The empty leg of the T-Square is the 9th house, where the battle for our Constitution takes place over the remainder of 2011.  The result will be either slavery or freedom and we all get to choose, just like our forefathers did.  May those of you who choose chains wear them lightly.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the chart of the USA the eclipse strikes natal Uranus in the 6th house...we may expect military movements, public illness, and/or some sudden interruption of our utilities.  To the 3%ers:  An eclipse conjunct Uranus offers the country an opportunity for greater personal freedom and independence.

In the chart of the Federal Reserve the eclipse conjoins Saturn in the 11th house...the cosmic bill collector has arrived.

In the chart of  Australia the eclipse falls into the 2nd house opposing Venus and Uranus in the 8th.  The country will have to compromise about some issues in order to move forward, as they will face actions taken by others.

In the chart of Canada the eclipse conjoins Venus in the 2nd house...the guardian angel that has presided over the country's wealth, resources and purchasing power takes a leave of absence and now Canada faces a situation of sink or swim.  Time for re-evaluation of self-image.

In the chart of China the eclipse falls into the 4th house, demanding that more time be devoted to the home front and the needs of the country...improving the general home environment and taking whatever precautions are necessary against dangers such as drought, flooding, earthquakes.

In the chart of Germany the eclipse conjoins Mars in the 11th house.  Mars deals with how energy is used and expressed and under this conjunction the country is going to have to pay close attention to this process because there are changes to make or plans that require attention and discussion in detail.  A radical course of action is to be avoided.

In the charts of both Ireland and Iran the eclipse falls into the 10th house, placing a spotlight on their national images and their governments.

In the chart of Israel the eclipse conjoins an 8th house Mercury and reveals not only a crisis of communications, but an intellectual crisis about ideas previously held sacred.  The country is being challenged to begin thinking about things never before scrutinized, especially those things related - on a mundane level - to the 8th house such as the resources of others...the banking industry and financial affairs with the nation's 7th house allies...and on a spiritual level, psychological evolution - purging and purifying.

In the chart of Russia the 10th house eclipse opposes Mercury in the 4th house.  Communications are misunderstood and the country in general must function under increased stress.  Expect disagreements related to land that will force the country to re-think their position.

AREAS OF THE WORLD WHERE THIS PARTIAL SOLAR ECLIPSE ARE VISIBLE are Siberia, northern China, most of Alaska and northern Canada, Reykjavik Iceland, Norway, Sweden and Finland.  See the world map:
