Horoscopes: the Solar--Lunar Eclipses of Nov-Dec 2011

'Wild Cards' of the Universe: November/December 2011 Eclipses

by Jude Cowell


In answer to a regular reader's request, here are images of the November Solar and December Lunar Eclipses of 2011 on the same page. You may wish to click underneath each image to read my original posts containing chart details; click charts to enlarge and hopefully you may read a few additional notes that may not be mentioned in post texts.

First, the November Solar Eclipse with its "peculiar turn of events" vibe:




Chart details: Nov 25, 2011 Solar Eclipse @ 2Sag37 with America's problematic Mars/Neptune square (Gemini to Virgo--both ruled by Mercury--with US natal Mercury Rx in Cancer: confused or misdirected motivations; inspired actions; deception; men using drugs; massive military) on full display as the eclipse perfects. This chart shows US natal Neptune rising, Mars, planet of war-conflict-protests, at Midheaven (The Goal; Public Status.)

Neptune (loss; deception; fraud) in Virgo, sign of Work, Employment, Service (incl police and military, immigrant agricultural workers, etc) shows unemployment issues on the eclipse horizon to be dealt with (or not, if you're GOP and don't mind crashing America to force an ideological point.)

This places our returning troops and vets (who need jobs and medical care!!) on the world stage (MC.) A bill to hire vets was 'supported' by Republicans last week so we'll see what difference such legislation makes for those who risked their lives on behalf of our nation. It also denotes the Occupy Movement (Mars!), demonstrations, and strikes remaining in the news though my hope is that sit-ins will make a big comeback.

The safer our protests and marches, the stronger the Occupy message will be (and the happier American moms like me will be!)


US Natal Mars Weakened and Self-Deceived by Neptune's Wand

Natal Mars at MC, the most visible point in any chart, indicates that how the US government treats or mistreats our returning troops (and how dot gov has already treated veterans including loss or the burning of body parts) will be a topic on the World Stage into *2012 along with Occupiers and how US cities' mayors, and other government and police officials treat them.


Dual Gemini Tells the News December 2011

Then humankind completes 2011 with a revealing Lunar Eclipse in communicative Gemini, ruled by speedy Mercury, planet of young people, early schooling, pupils, oration, writers-journalists-talking heads, bloggers, travelers, those who serve, the senses, thinking processes, plans, transport, trade, commerce, and other mercurial matters. Here's the Lunar Eclipse horoscope:



Astro-details for this horoscope are here in a column spotlighting an 8th house Mars in Virgo squaring the December Lunar Eclipse, as you see.


Mars Annoys The Collective

A neglected tidbit in the post I will add here: Mars square the Nodal Axis (The Public; Publicity; Future Direction; a Joining Point of Encounter) shows conditions where the action and impulses of Mars (generally, males between ages 25-35, give or take a year or two) are at-odds with current social values. Standards are in conflict (may highlight 'conflict of interest' issues) with society; aggression (Mars) may be inappropriately expressed in the wrong place or at the wrong time.

When Mars squares NN from Virgo, sign of purification and discrimination, the dynamic martian energy can irritate, annoy, and frustrate others for Mars can't or won't act in harmony with the environment, or with colleagues. This aspect may indicate environmental issues as well especially with the Nodal axis connection to the sensitive Moon (here, we the people) which can soak up whatever is in the environment like a sea sponge and may link to contagions of some sort.

Plus, the Lunar Eclipse conjoins US natal Mars (see my scribbles outside the chart.)


Next up in cosmic events and SO'W columns to describe them (As Above, So Below!) is the Winter Solstice 2011 Horoscope which I've begun preparing and intend to publish before many more days flit by...

More reading: USA's First Overthrow: Hawaii where a suit-wearing President Obama has flown for the weekend, to attend APEC Summit 2011 and where yet another US-job-killing trade agreement is listed at the top of our Globalist President's agenda.

You know I like how Max Igan talks about Trust Law and how The People of a nation are the law. Politicians and government officials--the public's employees--simply use police and military forces to uphold manmade statutes and regulations--which are not law.


We The People Are The Law.

*After the November 25, 2011 Solar Eclipse, a 14 South Saros Series eclipse will manifest on May 20, 2012 @ a difficult spot: 00Gem21, conjunct fixed star Alcyone, one of the Weeping Sisters.

Will they weep because a similar dynamic occurs in 2012 as during the year of the last manifestation of the 14S in 1994, the year of the Republican take-over of Congress and the 'perceived' popularity of Newt Gingrich?

No-o-o-o-o-o-oo-oooooo!!!

Well, whoever is up in the political polls then, we know that major reforms will continue across America and the rest of the world. And may they be for the benefit of The People.

33 weeks - an unusually long stay in Leo for Mars 2009

Since I just hooked up with astrologer Melody Scott Zindell on Twitter I moseyed over to see what subjects Melody has been writing on of late and found an informative post concerning the current 33-week stay of Mars in Leo.

Mars entered Leo on Oct 16, 2009 and his usual stay in a sign is about 7 weeks - zeeks!

Melody says It's Time to Take Action and of course, you don't have to have Mars (planet of initiative action, energy, and desire) in the sign of Leo the Lion in your natal chart to experience this transit personally since the feisty fellow traverses somewhere in our horoscopes all the time and since he resonates well with Sun-ruled Leo for getting things done.

In fact, as Melody mentions, any Leo planets in our natal charts are now being stimulated by the Leo transit of Mars (also stimulated are other planets and points that are in an aspect relationship to Mars' position - Tau/Sco squares, Gem/Sag sextiles/trines, Aquarius opposes, etc - so check out Melody's insights on Mars' 33 weeks in Leo for it's going to be a long and bumpy ride brought to us by a fiery planet traveling through a fiery sign - and many of us have transfomative Pluto in creative Leo!

Sun and Mars cazimi Dec 4 2008

Having just discovered an excellent Horary Astrology blog, Ask Christine, here's a post concerning this week's Mars cazimi the Sun an overly cozy condition which is in effect from Thursday (Dec 4) until Saturday.

Horary Astrology ('horary' meaning, 'hour') is where you ask a question you're bursting to know the answer to and the time of your question gives the answer by way of a chart set up for that exact hour and minute, and is then read by traditional astrological principles.

As you might expect, emailed questions work excellently for this purpose with their time stamps in plain sight.

Your query does need to be properly framed, however, so that the astrologer fully understands your meaning, and that's the actual time of your question...hence your answer lies within.

Chiron: discovery and meaning

First a word on my blog absence--two words actually--tech gremlins. My isp seems to be performing better today, for now.

As you know, it's takes hours to prepare an astrology-based article so when I've spent time and effort only to find that I'm shut out of the two-tiered internet, it's discouraging.

So to save precious blogging time, here's a link to a Page I've managed to put up at my WordPress blog on the Discovery and Meaning of Chiron and to which I plan to add details as tech gremlins may permit:

Technorati answers my ping plea!

Yes, it's true--scroll just below to read about my longstanding Technorati ping dilemma which has now been repaired!

Stars Over Washington is freshly pinged and feelin' frisky with "sorry for the delay" apology happily accepted...

Thanks, spidaman!

Progr'd Moon Phases of the Candidates

The Progressed (day-for-a-year) angular relationship between the Sun and Moon indicates the phase of life one is in and gives evolutionary information on the background structure of a person's life. Some may call it 'passages'--a Moon-esque term in itself.

Based on the natal chart, this method of prediction is one of the more informative esp when used with transits of the planets (where they are currently, or for whatever time frame we may wish to consider. Ex: a birthday is a Sun to natal Sun transit.)

In my Jude's Threshold pages, I've written on the Moon Phases of the candidates: McCain, Huckabee, Obama, and Clinton, if you'd like to see what life phase each of them will reach by January 2009--and as they "go forward" "at the end of the day."

Technorati Ping Problems abound

In my 104 day mission to get Technorati to ping Stars Over Washington once again, I'm posting this entry with Technorati code to "get the ball rolling" as they suggested.

Actually, the SO'W ball has been rolling since Oct 2005 and used to be auto-pinged by Technorati with my frequent posts. Code's okay, etc, but no ping can be found in their directory--104 days--ridiculous, even though my posts get indexed there.

And my shout-out of several weeks ago to anyone who knows what's up w'dat garnered no info, so this post is a new, if not last, resort.

It's discouraging that my other blogs ping nicely, thanks, but the one I put most time and effort into--this one--is shunted out of the Technorati mix. So here's the code to get the ball rolling and I hope it works.

Romney McCained--and 2008's Eclipses

Yes, Romney has been cained by John McCain in Florida and I've been writing and posting a Page at Jude's Threshold--inspired by the fact that 2008 is hopefully the last year of Bush's residency in the White House, and a hankering fell over me to see where in his natal chart the four Eclipses of 2008 fall.

You may wish to see for yourself here:

2008's Solar and Lunar Eclipses which also has info on George and Laura Bush's Pre-Natal Eclipse Series; plus, some details on how to read your own Illumination Points if you don't already know how.

For as Astrology's servant, I post for you, m'peops! I post for you...and for the sake of America's higher path.

And for World Peace. I really want World Peace.

Is your North Node in Taurus?

Some of us, this reluctant astrologer included, were born with a Taurean North Node, so if your NN is in Taurus, have I got a blog for you:

North Node Astrology is written by Jungian astrologer, Elizabeth Spring, and has great info on NN in Taurus as well as on others. South Node details are, of course, included so take a peek if you haven't found Elizabeth's blog before this moment!

As previously stated here, I see heredity and ancestry where many others see past lives which means that to me, SN issues come through the generations of my ancestry...which includes family shadows and family myths. It's the unfinished business of our ancestors and we may feel compelled to 'tidy up' in our lifetimes.

Yet I find Elizabeth's writing on the Nodal Axis illuminating and useful all the same and you will, too.

In fact, many astrologers consider the NN to be the most important point in the natal chart, and much about one's life mission may be gleaned from NN, SN, and Sun positions when taken together.

And with the recent move from Pisces into Aquarius of the transiting NN, our collective path has now switched from the victim-savior/pragmatist-mystic axis of Pisces into the Aquarian humanitarian-egoist influence where it will remain through the 2008 campaign, and will reach 9AQ20 by Inauguration Day 2009.

This tells us that America will be experiencing her Nodal Half-Return (NN to SN, SN to NN) in April 2009 (True Node) which is a time of separation in relationships and associations--at least in those that are not strong enough to withstand the separative influence of the Saturnian SN.

If associations do withstand the Half-Return they are strengthened in some way, but since Bush & Co already have the US virtually standing alone in the world, keep your eye peeled for April 2009 and thereafter.

Therefore, 9Leo20 puts tr SN conjunct the natal Mercuries of George Bush and the GOP (which are conj at 9Leo+, along with Al Gonzales' Mercury) on Jan 20, 2009 and is part of the reason why I must wonder if a Republican will be ensconced once again in the White House come Jan 20, 2009 (surely not a Bush again.)

But more more on that another day...we're in for a long siege, dear voters.

The Moon as Timer in Electional Astrology

Jude's Treshold has been favored this evening with a new entry on nine rules for using the Moon in Electional Astrology which is a way of choosing the most propitious times to begin projects or events.

Oh--I did the favoring.

Dear Technorati: how about a PING in my stocking?

As I got out my quill to pen a plea to Santa Claus for a new pair of legwarmers, it seemed that Technorati was really where my plea should be sent--SO'W has racked up 28 days without a PING:


If I could ask for just one thing
it'd be a Technorati PING
to let folks know my blog's updated
overblown yet underrated.

Technorati Pings away
Stars Over Washington? not today
says it's 28 days since pinging
for some service I am singing.

Technorati isn't hearing
lots of blogs won't Ping I'm fearing
if a poem of plea will do it
Ping my blog and get right to it.


by jude cowell (I know many bloggers are having the same PING issues and that Technorati's auto-ping service has had some outtages of late and was offline for awhile. But this is ridiculous! And manual Pinging doesn't work either--plus, my other blogs are Pinging, just not SO'W. Anyone have ideas? Santa?)

That Feeling of Fate

Surfing so that you don't have to, I've come upon another well-written article by astrologer Lynn Hayes who opens up the astrology of the natal chart when interpreted with the progressed chart for you--their uses and differences, with her Musings on Fate and the Progressed Chart.

As Lynn explains so well, we're fated to express our natal charts.

Yet much may be gleaned from knowing our progressed charts--how we've evolved and what our natal tendencies have led to. Yes, the information found in a progressed chart is invaluable to the seeker.

Bravo, Lynn!

more 12th house info for you

Many thanks to Melody at Astrology and More for her excellent post on Moon or South Node in 12th house.

Imho, the 12th house of karma, the unconscious, and self-undoing, is one of (if not the) most interesting houses (departments of life) in any chart.

Tellingly enough, politicians often have 12th house planets--ex: Bush's behind-the-scenes 12th house with Sun and Saturn in Cancer.

And although I admit to being a Saturnian astrologer (heredity-based) rather than a Uranian past-lifer, karma is a natural law we must all face for we can't escape reaping what we've sown, can we?

What goes around, comes around, as "they" say. What we send out, we get back, etc. (Therefore Bush'n'Cheney should be very very worried and afraid.)

This is a great article from Melody and with a lovely image included so I hope you'll
check it out!

Aquarian Full Moon, July 29

One of my favorite astrology blogs, Oculus Divinorum, has an informative post on July 29's Full Moon in Aquarius.

The LEO/AQ polarity is on what's called the Will Axis and concerns issues of groups and associations, hopes'n'wishes, children, romance, risk-taking, creative pursuits, and more...check out this excellent post for yourself!

speaking of Cypress...

*UPDATE Monday just below...


US military attache on the Isle of Cyprus has gone MIA so check out his face and car photos and let them know if you know anything please.

Cyprus happens to be on the list of Taurean countries given here yesterday and now we've lost an embassy employee from the Isle so I have to say,

's up, Cyprus?


*UPDATE Monday: US Diplomat found Dead in Rural Cyprus with Mars, ruler of sharp instruments in Taurus which rules the throat...supposedly Lt. Col. Mooney cut his own throat. Wonder what the statistics are on that form of suicide?

Looking at Adriano Carelli's The 360 Degrees of the Zodiac, "2 Taurus" seems to apply all too well:

"A man dying on the ground. Clouds hide the sun." (He was last seen midday on Thursday, June 28, the day Rx Mercury was conj the Sun, and Venus was nearing Saturn with both opposing Neptune...

Venus/Saturn = Neptune: pretense in relationships; wrong ideas about relationships; thinking the grass is greener elsewhere; dreaminess deceives.

Excerpts from Carelli's "2Taurus"...a degree of impotence; karmic condition: murder in the past; the present repels and human society holds no attraction; dissappointments are self-created from a wrong attitude of estrangement from life.

Life must be loved if she is to present us with her gifts; these are not to be frowned upon in comparison with the unattainable daydreams, toyed with by the cloud-dweller apt to slump defeated to the ground if they cannot reach their aim;
woe unto him that is alone. (Eccl. 4:11.)#

"Ground" = Saturn, "cloud-dweller" and "clouds" = Neptune; "murder in the past"? This spin is given relating to past-life stuff which I do not use being Saturnian.

Heredity and DNA, now there's the past coming forward--for we are each the flowering of our generations, are we not?

Well, the articles I'm finding about this sad case are few and sparse between so it's not for sure that the above degree symbols mean anything pertinent--but I must admit that Mars' "2Tau" picure is highly descriptive of the mysterious end of Lt. Col. Thomas Mooney, US 'military attache' for the US government--with transit Jupiter now conjunct America's natal ASCENDANT and meeting with an excellent timer, the Moon.

And tr SN (the past) is conjunct the n Mars of George Bush, btw.


Since the Sagittarian Moon was in process of meeting with Jupiter (the general), was there a woman--perhaps a foreign woman (Sag--Moon) around? Or a Middle Easterner (crescent moon symbol)? Their degree of conjunction: 12Sag12, and Carelli gives no word picture but this for "12Sag" which is also the US ASC in the Sibly chart--he says:

Love of home or selfish attachment to one's comforts; a faithfulness to habit implying a methodic mind, as well as the utter powerlessness of one chained to his customary routine.

A strong lover, attentions may be lavished upon the lawful wife, or there may be many erotic ties at the same time. The excess of lust may involve him in all kinds of trouble.

Full Moon May 31

Since I spent a considerable chunk of time today writing Full Moon May 31: An Ape Riding a Wolf, will you understand if I point you in that direction?

The degree for Friday night's upcoming Full Moon ("11Sag" over the White House at 9:03 pm edt) puts one in mind of Paul Wolfowitz, I agree, but please check out Jude's Threshold for more info relating to current events and the New Millenium's totalitarian leanings...just follow the above link, if you will.

karma of the 12th house

Okay so I've been meaning to blurb out a bit about one of the more interesting houses in a chart, the 'hidden' 12th house of the Unconscious, Self-Undoing; Karma, and more. 12th house is a Psychological house along with the 4th and 8th...deep, very deep.

Having a planet there natally myself, I've always found it to be a fascinating part of any chart...even if it does relate to politicians who so often have 12th house planets (natally Bush has a 12th house Sun--unconscious arrogance, among other things.)

One of the most useful astrology books I discovered early in my reading was Tracy Marks' Your Secret Self: Illuminating the Mysteries of the Twelth House. It's available on amazon.com I know because I reviewed it there years ago. My advice is to procure one if you can--if you don't already have a copy.

But if you're wanting to get some 12th house info right now you'll want to read Robert Wilkinson's article the 12th house on his excellent Global Astrology blog Aquarius Papers.

Now that would be my best advice!

UPDATE Saturday: Philip Brown is shining a light on the deep dark recesses of the karmic 12th house as well. Check out AstroFutureTrends: Astrology of the 12th house where you'll find Philip's analysis plus 12th house quotes from Dane Rudhyar, Howard Sasportas, and more. Great work, Philip!

South Node in Scorpio

The Nodal Axis tells us of destiny and life's path and even though I'm a Saturnian astrologer, not a Uranian (no past-lifin' around here--it's heredity and genetics, baby) the Nodal axis is very important for many reasons including in mundane work.

So this is a Shout-Out post for Raging Universe where you'll find a rockin' article on having South Node in Scorpio or in 8th house, the natural house of Scorpio.

Now some astrologers think that equating Scorpio placements to 8th house placements isn't applicable...that signs and houses are not the same things (some meaning this reluctant astrologer typing this sentence, for instance.)

But fuggedabowdit...just go to Raging Universeand read jm's SN in Scorpio article--there's an amazing amount of knowledge packed into one post waiting for you there and she's promising a post on NN in Taurus to go with it!
