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:
