I’m a “cherry-picker”. I use lots of techniques, thanks to computer-generated charts, and I pick up the most blatant and obvious clues from each technique. By comparing the blatant clues from myriad techniques, you can get a very good idea of upcoming energy patterns, and often, details of specific events, as well. What’s more, it makes it EASY to use predictive techniques. We’re looking for the obvious here!

July 1 Eclipse
June 29, 2011
Eclipses come in cycles, called Saros Series. And July 1st is a NEW eclipse cycle! This eclipse sets the tone for every new eclipse in this cycle for the next 1200 years!
[There are 19 (x2) eclipse cycles and it takes 18+ years (with 2 solar eclipses most years) to cycle through them all. Saros Series 13 South ENDED 19 years ago, with an eclipse at the North Pole. Saros Series 13 New South begins on July 1st at the South Pole.]
This is a profound and powerful eclipse chart. The Sun and Moon are in highly challenging relationship with the Biggie planets–meaning those that have been wreaking havoc and causing change all over the earth these last few years, namely Pluto, Uranus and Saturn. Overall, the eclipse represents huge generational endeavors, and active world stress. Bernadette Brady says this eclipse brings the end of long struggles and midpoints involving Neptune and Jupiter bring difficult issues to gentle conclusions. We can hope so.
This eclipse also happens among fixed stars which ancient astrologers associate with the death of a king. Countdown for Qaddafi?

Eclipse Season
June 5, 2011
This is one of those rare years when we get 3 eclipses within the span of a month. Sometimes these are two Lunar Eclipses with a Solar Eclipse in the middle, and sometimes, as in this year, the first and last eclipses are Solar Eclipses, with a Lunar Eclipse in the middle.
The first eclipse in this pattern was June 1st, at 11 Gemini. In a Solar Eclipse, the Sun is hidden, so we look for a world (or life-event) pattern where the symbolism of the Sun is darkened. The Sun can represent Ego, Consciousness, Visibility, the quality of direct energy (rather than the indirect Lunar energies). Eclipse events are triggered up to 2 weeks before and after the event, but the actual day remains significant. This eclipse coincided with the rather ridiculous news (Gemini) of Senator Weiner’s Tweeter account being hacked with a crotch-photo of a man wearing underwear. Since direct energy is compromised in a Solar Eclipse, there is reason to believe the “it was hacked” story–the underhanded action of an eclipsed Sun in Gemini. But it was also a terrible blow to Weiner’s ego, not least in his poor handling of the communication (Gemini). In your chart, see what house is ruled by Gemini. That is where something may be cut out or eCLIPsed.
The second eclipse is Lunar, at 24 Sagittarius on June 15. Here the feminine, subconscious, reflective and indirect energy of the Moon is eclipsed, in the sign of expansion. We may see lack of reflection (Moon) as suppressed emotions (Lunar Eclipse) expand without limit (Sagittarius). Look for the house ruled by Sagittarius in your chart to see where activity takes place.
The third eclipse is the doozy here. July 1 at 9 Cancer, creating a grand cross involving Pluto, Saturn and Uranus. Conscious activity (Sun) is darkened as Homelands (Cancer) are irrationally (Solar Eclipse) defended. Since this plays out close to the Solstice/Equinox Axis Mundi, these events will play on a world stage–except for the events in your chart in the house ruled by Cancer, and also the houses ruled by the other Cardinal signs.
There’s plenty of other stuff being written about this summer–and there are lots of other intensifying events, with retrogrades, sign changes, etc going on… so hang on to your peace while others grab for their “piece”.
Anne’s Austin Astrology Lecture 6/17
June 5, 2011
“Dancing with Transcendance: Music from the Outer Planets”
Lecture by Anne Beversdorf for the Astrological Society of Austin
Friday, June 17, 6:30 pm, Austin Texas
Remedy Center for Healing Arts
4901 Burnet Road
Austin, TX 78756-2609
The “outer planets” are often called the “transcendental planets”. Their energy is undeniable in the lives of those who have opened their awareness to CHOICE. These energies mediate between the fixed fate of the material world, on the one hand, and the gods’ (or OUR) abilities to negotiate everyday reality on the other hand. But this choice only comes with awareness. You only get the choice if you know their dances and don’t get caught in their traps.
There are two major shifts happening right now. One is big and frightening (which doesn’t mean Bad) and the other is subtle and possibly confusing. Most of us are aware of the Pluto dances (see Anne’s article in the June/July The Mountain Astrologer magazine). An equally powerful but far more subtle dance is with the other-worldly and imaginative Neptune. The world is changing here as well.
All of the transcendental planets are highly active in the sky these days, which means that all of us are feeling their influence. The wiser we are in dealing with these dance partners, the better the future we invite. Come engage in the dance!
