ECLIPSE MAY 20, 2012
Click on the globe, it's animated.
Under Moon aspects we find the eclipse. This is the most powerful thing the Moon does. An eclipse is quick and deadly. But it only applies to certain degrees of a sign -- meaning not all people of that sign will be affected -- just those in orb of the eclipse. The one we have coming on May 20th, 2012 is happening at 0 degrees (astrology is from 0-29 degrees) Gemini. So that means it will affect people born May 21-24 or people born November 22-25 as the opposition in Sagittarius also counts.
Astrologers are greatly divided on the timing. My experience is that it will be the week before or the week after when you will experience its consequences. The Moon is the fastest of all the planets, so thinking the effect will last months makes no sense to me.
This is a New Moon solar eclipse. It happens when the Moon comes between the Earth and the Sun so sunlight is blocked. All luminous planets can illuminate. However, all eclipses are negative. Some new astrology books try to put a good spin on it, but by definition, something gets eclipsed -- zapped -- gone. I sent out party invitations once and didn't put the right over-sized postage on them. Party got eclipsed. And I wrote a blog about a New Year's Eve (How an Eclipse Really Works) where I got sick and missed the entire party. It will be something like that. Nothing major, but definitely inconvenient, and you don't see it coming.
Because the eclipse is in the sign of Gemini which rules communication, emails, short trips, brothers and sisters, aunts, uncles, it may have something to do with one of those things. If you know your houses, it may have something to do with the house where you find 0 degrees Gemini or 0 degrees Sagittarius. But it if doesn't aspect by conjunction or opposition a planet, it still won't affect you.
