Chicken Little, California and the Upcoming Eclipses

Have been reading the Top Ten articles about how the Solar Eclipse on Sept. 11 feel that I must share my findings regarding California. As I said a few days ago, al-Zawahiri will be celebrating his Mars Return on the Solar Eclipse and can't say that I've really taken a shine to that guy and his accomplishments. And you remember that Israel did to Lebanon on their last Mars Return... Hopefully somebody else who's better at interpreting can take a look.

Here's what I've found for California. The Data is from Noel Tyl. I don't know if this is his time or someone else's.

California
b. Sept. 9, 1850 9:41 am San Jose, CA

Sun 17 Virgo (H11); ASC 6 Scorpio; Moon 4 Scorpio (H12); MC 12 Leo; NN 15 Leo (H10)

Natal Chart info: California has one of those "Butterfly" shaped charts, wouldn't ya know? Planets run predominantly from H6 to H11 & 12 if this time is accurate. Both Bob Marks and John Townley provide great descriptions of chart shapes on their websites.

California's Chart has a conjunction of Venus-Moon with the Scorpio Ascendant from H12. Opposing this is an exact conjunction of Pluto and Uranus at 30 Aries in H6. Saturn is 10 degrees earlier in Aries (H6) opposite Mars and Mercury in Libra right on the 12th house cusp. Guess it was more than just Kismet that the "Summer of Love" happened in this state during a conjunction of Uranus-Pluto in Virgo to Saturn in Pisces!

California has a conjunction of North Node in Leo conjunct the Leo MC. Gold Rushes, Law Suits, and Blond Hollywood Bombshells, that's how the World sees us. Nobody will believe for a minute that we've got a Bible Belt running up and down our state that could put Alabama backwoods to shame.

California's Sun and Jupiter both make minor aspects to the Uranus-Pluto conjunction but are otherwise unaspected in the 11th house of the natal chart. So, when these planets receive transits and progressions, the energy could be explosive. Thing about explosive is that one never knows if it will be a good explosion or a bad explosion. In California one must always think positive. With all this Uranian emphasis in the chart one can see why earthquakes are such a big deal.

The Partial Solar Eclipse: Sept. 11, 2007 1:31 pm London, England has a Sagittarius Rising with Jupiter and Pluto in the 1st house. Saturn will be conjunct the South Node squaring the Ascendant. And it will contain almost a Grand Square. (None of these eclipses coming up have an exact Grand Square, the Jupiter-Pluto midpoint is involved, both Planets are out of orb.) Damn, I pulled up the Eclipses for London. How many hours is California behind?

The California Sun will receive 2 major hits during this time. First off, this is 2 days after California's Solar Return which already owns the Grand Square between Sun opposite Uranus square Mars opposite Pluto and Jupiter. The Eclipse will add the Moon in conjunction with the Sun at 18 Virgo to this t-square. These will not be on the angles if chart used is correct, but will be in the Resource-Fixed Houses. The economy in the Silicon Valley is starting to boom again so don't know what this means. Mars will be in the 8th House opposite Pluto in the 2d house which looks a little menacing. The Saturn-Neptune opposition will be in the 3d to 9th houses, ugh that's transportation.

As for trines to balance things out. Saturn will trine Pluto and Mars will trine Neptune; neither trine is really reassuring. Transiting Venus will be at 17 Leo conjunct the NN 15 Leo and MC 12 Leo and opposite natal Neptune. That once again repeats the emphasis on money and speculation, but mostly on glamour and deception. If they bomb us we simply won't pay them any heed in typical Venus-Neptune fashion. You can take away our tall buildings, you can cut off our electricity and bust our damns, but we're still Californians -- we're Happy, God Damn It!!! (sick sense of humor). The Sun in the Solar Return Chart is in a Grand Trine with the Chart's ASC and MC which is a positive sign, I hope.

During the Eclipse Chiron will be exactly conjunct the Aquarius IC.

Lunar Eclipse
Aug. 28, 2007 11:37 am London, England

Sun 5 Virgo (H10); 2 Scorpio Rising; Moon 5 Pisces (H4); MC 13 Leo; NN 8 Pisces (H4)

The Lunar Eclipse on the Aug. 28 before has the same Ascendant and IC almost to the degree that Noel Tyl's chart has so this could be very interesting.

This chart has heavy H4-H10 emphasis. The Moon will be in its own house (H4) conjunct the NN and Neptune and opposite t.Sun conjunct t.Saturn. This will be on the transiting Nodes. The Sun will already be squaring Mars opposite Pluto but not quite opposite Uranus yet.
