2013's Five Eclipses: dates, degrees, astro-notes

List: Dates & Degrees of the Five Solar and Lunar Eclipses of 2013 (EDT)

by Jude Cowell

Eclipses, sometimes called 'wild cards of the Universe', often reveal the hidden and trigger what needs triggering in similar fashion as does planet Uranus. If nothing else, they provide a celestial spotlight upon the zodiacal area of a horoscope in which they fall. The following is a list of the eclipses of 2013; additional astro-notes are included:

1. April 25 Partial Lunar Eclipse @5Sco45 (Mars-Pluto);

2. May 9/10 Annular Solar Eclipse @19Tau31 (Venus);

3. May 25 Appulse Lunar Eclipse @4Sag08 (Jupiter);

4. October 18 Appulse Lunar Eclipse @25Ari45 (Mars);

5. November 3 Hybrid Solar Eclipse @11Sco15 (Mars-Pluto.)

As you see, 2013 begins with eclipses across the Taurus-Scorpio axis, creeps into Jupiter-ruled Sagittarius in May, triggers Mars-ruled Aries in October, and ends with a Solar Eclipse again in Scorpio, sign of Big Business, the Occult, Spies, Secrets (and Leaks), Mystery, Betrayal, and possibly, Death.

Paraphrasing Brady's Predictive Astrology, the Saros Series and themes of the two Solar Eclipses are as follows:

May 9 @19Tau31 is in the 15 South Series with background themes of a sudden clearing of a tense situation which brings loss that's group-related or collective rather than personal (or, only personal.)

November 3 @11Sco15 (where transiting Saturn hangs out of late) is in the 16 North Series with themes of ideas being illuminated, a sense of inspiration, release of unconscious material (or someone's hidden secrets or a murky agenda is exposed), and wise insights arrive which may be acted upon beneficially. The initial eclipse in the 16N Series (February 15, 1599 OS @6Pis02) contains a Uranus-Neptune trine which inspires unconscious material to float up to the conscious mind. In 1599, their trine was between the signs of Aries and Leo.

Both the Taurus eclipse in May and the Scorpio eclipse in November have manifested in the modern era in the years: 1905 (Einstein's miracle year--Uranus-Neptune really inspired him!), 1923, 1941, 1959, 1977 (year of Chiron's discovery @3Tau08 Rx), and 1995; next manifestations of 15S and 16N will be May 21, 2031 @00Gemini (as did the May 20, 2012 Solar Eclipse @00Gem20--conjunct Alcyone in the Pleiades constellation), and November 14, 2031 @22Scorpio.

Einstein fans rejoice as warping found

Einstein's Warping Found Around Neutron Stars yet I never doubted Albert, did you?

Alberto and his warping of the DOJ, that's another dark matter. Now if the White House can find the thousands of missing and damning emails, we'll really be on to something. Hint: they're in this universe.

Gonzo impeachment makes sense

In what may yet turn out to be an alternate universe, it seems that the NYT endorses Gonzales impeachment as mentioned today in The Carpetbagger Report.

If, as Einstein said, you can't fix problems using the same thinking that created them, it seems just crazy to keep Gonzo around a Justice Department whose credibility is shredded and whose staff is now ragged and sparse.

Unless, of course, you're part of an agenda to gut justice in the first place.

So the undermining of America continues while a toothless Congress wastes time and our money debating ad nauseum. Debate in a democracy is a great thing if you can just get people to shut up and actually DO something of worth and merit.

And you don't have to be an Einstein to figure that out.
