Astrology of the 2009 Eclipses

Eclipses are mysterious – how do they affect the world and its people? Usually the effects show up later.

Multiple eclipses this year have created an overall effect on the world, and depending on the birth horoscopes, individuals each have a personal response.  The most difficult aspect of interpreting eclipses is that the effects don’t occur when it’s happening.

According to Robert Hand, a world renowned, prolific astrologer, solar eclipses can begin having an influence either before or after the actual event. Not only is each of the following eclipses striated with multiple angles to the sun,  there’s a trine aspect to planet Uranus. The entire world will have reactions to the energy of these three events.

July 7 lunar eclipse – sets the background for the upcoming eclipses, and involves the energy of Cancer and Leo (the third eclipse) The lesser known intrinsic qualities of Cancer brings speculation of the general effects that begin on this date.

More than the typical nurturer imagery, Cancer also homogenizes various elements of the inner being that lead to a spiritual awakening within.  Around the world, different people are getting together due to the group, or family influence of Cancer.  A good example of this is Barack Obama’s liaison with China’s top government officials.

 

July 22 solar eclipse – a solar eclipse occurring only a few days before the Sun occupies the sign of Leo.  The energy of this eclipse will tend to merge with the energies of the next.  In general, any misconceived aspirations will come to light under the sun, which is the planetary ruler of Leo.  In short, expect the light of day to be shed on certain situations around the world, as well as on an interpersonal level.

August 6 lunar eclipse – the third eclipse and the Leo Solar Festival that is also called the Festival of Sirius is the most important of the three events. 

Astrology – Imagery of a study that comes to fruition is also comparable to reaching the peak of a mountain on an individual level.  Worldwide, the effects won’t be known until October, which will be here soon enough.

In any event, Leo seems to be rife for some movement concerning recent pursuits, especially those of a spiritual nature.

Malvin Artley, an excellent astrologer with a background in engineering and fines arts presents information through a spiritual perspective.  In his newsletter Malvin confesses – “We don’t know what is going to happen, but I do know that we will not likely have conditions for inner growth like these next few years again for some time to come and we need to make the most of them.”  He gives a few hints indicating probable explosions due to the influence of Leo astrology, which is a fire sign that in turn is blends with the influence of the quixotic energies of planet Uranus.

    Everything in time – though it’s true that things seem kind of quiet on the Taurus front. The best way to know the influences that affect you is to have an astrology chart done according to your place of birth, and time of birth.

    You have more planets than just the sun sign to consider. This reveals the complex individual with all of the different facets of the personality.

    With this tool, it’s highly likely that there is some area of your life that these eclipses affect.

    Thank you for your comment.
