New Moon Eclipses are among the most exciting astrological events. They herald a complete change of pace. It's as though you're headed in one direction, probably being guided by your ego, and then here comes the Divine — the Goddess or Spirit — to turn you instead to face the direction you actually need to go.
Yasmin Boland, Moonology
In all eras, from early civilisations, that would regard them as messages from the gods, to modern civilisations the god of science told them were just the shadow of the moon momentarily obscuring the sun when aligning in between the latter and Earth, eclipses never ceased to both fascinate and terrify mankind. While it's actually a matter of perspective if the moon, which is 400 times smaller than the sun, looks larger. It's only because, at the time of watching the sky, it's 400 times closer to Earth. In fact, it's mostly the rarity and brevity of these astronomical events which seem to trigger so much dread and fascination.
I, for certain, do not intend to discuss the various doomsday prophecies nor the many “conspiracy” scenarios which can be found online, but I do have many questions. I'm wondering because, for a change, all the varying perspectives, from the most eccentric to the really practical, seem to converge and agree on one fundamental issue: humanity is now up against the wall.
First of all, if anyone would like to enjoy this rare sighting, I'm afraid the eclipse on 8th April will only be visible across the North-American continent and Gulf of Mexico for a maximum duration of 4 minutes 30. It will be the second total solar eclipse visible across the United States since 1918 — the first occurred on 21st August 2017. Federal authorities are expecting huge inflows of eclipse hunters willing to travel thousands of miles in order to witness this uncommon event in action. So far, it's hardly surprising as regards to American people as they're always looking for sensations, one may say.
Things get interesting, even challenging, when you hear that National Guard units will be deployed as well as “22 members of a special biological, chemical, radiological and nuclear unit [who] will be present if necessary”. FEMA is also reported to be on the case. Residents of Oklahoma, on the path of the eclipse, have even been urged to store food, water and gas for a couple of weeks. They're also being informed that communication channels might be saturated, impacting the mobile network…
All this for a mere eclipse?!
Intrigued, I decided to generate the chart of the event using the one and only true astrology†, that is sidereal astrology which takes the precession of equinoxes into account and you'll see how significant this “detail” is.
A Patch of Sea Between Heaven and Earth
In that day they will roar over it
Isaiah 5:30
like the roaring of the sea.
And if one looks at the land,
there is only darkness and distress;
even the sun will be darkened by clouds.
The chart of next week's eclipse is somewhat unique in the sense that all the planets are gathered on one third of the zodiacal circle, forming a pattern called bundle or wedge, the edges of which are occupied by Pluto (god of the underworld) aka the Great Reformer and Uranus (god of heaven) aka the Great Awakener with Neptune (god of the sea), master of the eclipse in Pisces, standing on the midpoint between these two planets.
The first troubling fact is that Pluto in sidereal Capricorn (the sign of power, governments and institutions) is conjunct Altair, the brightest star of the Aquila constellation, the Eagle which happens to be the symbol of the USA. Now, the last time this conjunction occurred (as seen from the Earth, Altair is a fixed star and Pluto takes about 250 years to revolves around the ecliptic/zodiac) was on the declaration of independence of the United States of America on 4th July 1776.
Another interesting “detail” is that Uranus, at the outer edge of the bundle planetary pattern, is conjunct (3 degree orb) the Sun of the creation of the state of Israel on 14th May 1948 at 27°26 sidereal Aries, whereas the latter is conjunct Algol the demon star.
Even more unsettling are the combined paths of the two Great American eclipses, 7 years apart, intersecting to form a gigantic X across the USA as you can see on the above picture. Could it be the marking-off the end as for Nineveh, the last capital of the Assyrian Empire as mentioned in the Bible? Oddly enough, the previous eclipse path had crossed 7 American cities named Salem (meaning “peace” and which was also the name of Jerusalem at the time of King Abraham) whereas the path of next will cross 7 cities named Nineveh.
Please, note the predominance of number 7 which, numerology-wise, happens to be in analogy with planet Neptune.
7 in the Belly of the Fish
Now the LORD provided a huge fish to swallow Jonah,
Jonah 1:17
and Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.
Jonah is a prophet mentioned in all three Abrahamic religions — which are Judaism, Christianity and Islam. God sent him to Nineveh for the great city to repent of its decadent ways. But Jonah disobeyed and took a ship to Tarshish instead, which was in the opposite direction. In order to punish him, God created a terrible storm. Concerned with preserving his companions in misfortune from the Divine wrath, Jonah asked them to throw him overboard and the turbulent sea came to peace. Jonah did not drown but was swallowed by a huge fish in the belly of which he was held for three days and three nights, imploring Divine forgiveness. On the fourth day, he was cast upon the shore.
The Bundle pattern condensing the energies of all eleven planets in one third of the zodiac is even more potent since it harbours a stellium or cluster of 7 planets and points in sidereal Pisces (that is Neptune, Venus, North Node, Moon, Sun, Chiron and Mercury). Associated with, amongst other things, Christic energies, spirituality, reincarnation, the subconscious, dreams, imagination, intuition, empathy, invisible worlds and hidden things, Pisces is an elusive nocturnal dual sign as illustrated on my cover picture. It is related to the 12th house of seclusion, ordeals, secret enmities and betrayal as well as ambivalent Neptune which may bring to enlightenment as well as to confusion; to redemption as well as to perdition; to merging as well as to alienation.
Note that the planets clustered together in a stellium act as one, providing a special emphasis of the sign they occupy. Each planet relies on all others as one united family. This stellium is even more potent as its ruler Neptune is part of the cluster and conjunct Scheat, a giant red star from the Pegasus constellation which could potentially cause flooding. Interesting since the elusive Q advises to “watch the water”.
Out of water all life comes.
The Koran
Neptune, the archetype of universal love and ruler of our evolution (North Node) and Mercury, ruler of our collective karma (South Node) are located at either end of the cluster. Neptune is directly conjunct Venus, the planet of worldly love and opposite true Lilith (shadow self) in sidereal Virgo, which should challenge humankind to confront its illusions, unravel its unconscious patterns and fears, while serving as a catalyst for its spiritual evolution. Mercury retrograde on the day of the eclipse calls to introspection and forces us to look back at ourselves.
In addition, Chiron, the Wounded Healer, exactly conjunct the New Moon, suggests a brutal awakening both necessary and salutary, especially as the karmic axis (lunar nodes) is located on the midpoints of this energy bundle. As though the scales from our eyes were taken off in order to force us to face the shadow monster we're desperately attempting to flee. The parallel with the story of Jonah therefore seems totally relevant.
The Finger of God Pointing at Our Karma
And suddenly Ralph shrieked: “Larry! Larry! The Hand of God!” Ralph’s face was transported in a terrible joy. His eyes shone. He was pointing into the sky.
Larry looked up. He saw the ball of electricity Flagg had flicked from the end of his finger. It had grown to a tremendous size. It hung in the sky, jittering toward Trashcan Man, giving off sparks like hair. Larry realized dimly that the air was now so full of electricity that every hair on his own body was standing on end.
And the thing in the sky did look like a hand.
“Noooo!” the dark man wailed.
Larry looked at him ... but Flagg was no longer there. He had a bare impression of something monstrous standing in front of where Flagg had been. Something slumped and hunched and almost without shape—something with enormous yellow eyes slit by dark cat’s pupils.
Then it was gone.
Larry saw Flagg’s clothes—the jacket, the jeans, the boots—standing upright with nothing in them. For a split second they held the shape of the body that had been inside them. And then they collapsed.
Stephen King, The Stand
Usually, the planetary pattern called Yod or Finger of God only applies to planets or luminaries — not to hypothetical points such as the lunar node axis in this case. However, with such a peculiar chart, I find it further emphasises the message as if the Universe wanted it to stand out clearly like a neon sign in the dark of night.
See the large green arrow shape made of two quincunxes (adjustment) with the Mars-Saturn pair (considered action) in Aquarius on one hand, and the Uranus-Jupiter pair (social justice) in Aries on the other hand, all pointed toward the South Node of karma in sidereal Virgo like a laser beam.
Besides, Mars and Uranus are in mutual reception (i.e. in each other's sign of rulership) potentially prompting to violence and impulsiveness. With Black Moon Lilith on the firing line teaming with Pluto, all dark issues related to satanism and paedophilia the general public didn't want to hear about or even consider until now, could be irrefutably exposed at long last, triggering knee-jerk reactions and anger.
Let Go of the Tail of the Dragon or Sink
Virgo and Pisces, that's the Christ axis. In the Christian era, these are the two constellations that influenced the development of the qualities of Virgo and Pisces within human souls: purity and love of neighbour. You know, the early Christians weren't symbolised by the cross, they were symbolised by the fish. […]
Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov, Le Zodiaque, clé de l'homme et de l'univers
All men have two fishes and five cakes of bread, but the majority are partly fed. They solely feed the physical plane, unaware that they also need to feed the spiritual plane.
The South Node in sidereal Virgo symbolises excessive materialism and intellectual inflexibility. Just like Saint Thomas, ordinary people only believe in the tangible and repress their sensitivity and intuition. In order to believe, they need to see first. Here you go!
The message of the Eclipse is to let go of the mind which has been hacked by the involutive forces operating in the shadows — and pulling the strings of the official puppet clowns acting as our leaders — to reconnect to the Divine Source, the Christ energy within, by way of the heart and unconditional love. Letting go of our limiting beliefs (Virgo) to embrace our infinite creative potential (Pisces).
The theme is that of acceptance, forgiveness, healing, and redemption, but again, Neptunian energies are ambivalent. What about the fish that chooses to remain in the involutive shadow of the tail of the Dragon while the other chooses to face and transcend its past in order to evolve and get out of the vicious circle?
Judgement Day
Jonah began by going a day’s journey into the city, proclaiming,
Jonah 3:4
“Forty more days and Nineveh will be overthrown.”
40 days after the eclipse would be mid-May, the anniversary date of the creation of Israel when the returning Sun is conjunct violent Algol again (since it's a fixed star), supported by exuberant Jupiter. I will say no more as I'm neither a fortune teller nor a fatalist. Astrology is not a crystal ball, but rather a tool for self-knowledge in our pursuit of evolution.
Numerology is too and it's interesting to note how the numbers of the day, correlating with the major arcana of Tarot, echo the chart of the eclipse. Thus 2024 is a 8 universal year (2+0+2+4) of Justice or the Law of Return in analogy with Libra.
April is a 12 universal month (4+8) of the Hanged Man or the Crossing of the Desert in analogy with Neptune, letting go and the need to change perspectives. It may also suggests a reversal just like the 8-shaped hourglass you turn over when the time is up. A new cycle.
The 8th (again!) is a 20 universal day (8+12) of Judgement or Reconnection in analogy with Pluto and the Phoenix. Dying to ourselves and being born again. Clearing out what no longer serves us and undermines our collective evolution.
Reduced to a number between 1 and 9, it's a 2 universal day (2+0) of the Great Priestess or Inner Sanctuary of introspection in analogy with the Moon.
2 is also the number of duality and the 2 fishes. 2 timelines?
Back to the predominance of number 7 as mentioned earlier, it's often associated with God and Divine Perfection. The 7th major arcanum of tarot is that of the Chariot of victory or Steering Power. This is what is requested of us whenever we're torn between two opposing forces in order to keep focused on the middle way.
We've had a 7-year period (of reflection or misfortune depending on our mindset) in between two eclipses to see what lies behind the curtain of the Magician of Oz and decide where we stand. To see or not to see, that was the question. Sometimes it's not enough to tell people, you need to show them. That's why we've had 7 years of veil-tearing over what we call reality, so that a large number of souls could wake up. The Devil worshippers are so no longer hiding and, over the last few months, we've had a real ever-increasing flood of filth on display, so that anyone condoning these acts or words can no longer use the excuse of not knowing.
I see it as some kind of a countdown expiring soon or just being activated; the last remaining grains of sand flowing through the bottleneck of an hourglass. Place your bets! The wheel is turning. The die is cast. There's a parting of the ways. When? How? I don't know, it's just how I feel.
Endnotes
- ^ “Our zodiacal reference tool is modelled on the genuine constellations of the sky. Not the astronomic constellations since they vary in length, but the configuration of the Mesopotamians who, thousands of years ago, identified 12 major star clusters on the ecliptic path of the Sun. I mean 12 and not 13 as there are 12 constellations with their main star on the ecliptic. At the time, the first sign was Taurus since it was the Age of Taurus. When we entered the Age of Aries, Aries became the first sign and ever since we entered the Age of Pisces, that was 1,800 years ago, it should have become the first sign. It hasn't because a Persian cult (the Khorasanians) fixed the false Aries as the first sign of the zodiac and this heresy spread all over Europe […] The sidereal zodiac is based on stars whereas the tropical zodiac is based on the seasons of the Northern hemisphere regardless of stars.” (Source)
