A solar eclipse occured on January 4th, 2011 at 8:52 AM GMT. The eclipse was at 13 degrees Capricorn. 13 degrees Capricorn is a critical degree. This means that the eclipse will bring current matters in the world to a critical point. The closest aspect that the eclipse forms is a square to Saturn at 16 degrees Libra. This is a destructive, or counter-productive aspect of the nature of a forceful resistence and impasse. Forces in the world are at logger heads. Critical competition and quarreling involving governments connected to business interests will not resolve harmoniously now. Conflicts are serious. There is the danger of a trade war. The affects of the solar eclipse will last an entire year, possibly longer. There are six eclipses in 2011. Many significant turns of events in the world are in the works. 2011 will prove an eventful year.
According to a traditional reading of a solar eclipse in the 2nd decanate of Capricorn we will see military revolts, riots, mutinies, and assassinations. These can happen in one or another country ruled by Capricorn. These include Pakistan, India, Afghanistan, Greece, Macedonia, Bulgaria, Albania, and Mexico.
At the time of this solar eclipse another very significant planetary event happened. Jupiter and Uranus were within 1 minute of exact conjunction at the time of the eclipse. They came to exact conjunction at 12:52 PM GMT at 27 degrees Pisces. This will bring out an impulsive, expansive side to the conflicted state of affairs shown by the solar eclipse square Saturn. We may see some wild speculating through these times. Oil prices will probably rise and cause an inflation, but they may fall again. Shipping costs will rise with the cost of oil. Oil and gas drilling will move foreward inexorably. Competition over energy, especially between the US and China will increase.
The eclipse chart also shows Venus exactly square Neptune. Venus is at 26 degrees Scorpio, and Neptune is at 26 degrees Aquarius. This aspect brings disappointment. It brings out the real possibility that people who speculate foolishly will have plenty to regret. This aspect also denotes much misery and vice in the world. Women need to be careful, as this aspect also means crimes against women.
As seen in the chart for the New York Stock Exchange the conjunction of Jupiter and Uranus is in the 10th house and is sextile Mars. This shows the market advancing sharply during the coming month and for periods through the year as a result of this eclipse, oil being the favored commodity. This is supported by the S&P chart with the solar eclipse exactly sextile the S&P Sun at 13 degrees Pisces. The market, however, will not move up through the year; it will act erratically. And, due to what is going to happen in the US and related economies, the market will plummet from time to time. 2011 is an unstable year. The conjunction of Jupiter and Uranus in Pisces warns, in light of the solar eclipse, against wild speculating and crazy opinions that will drive the market up and down like a drunken boat. Neptune is the ruler of the NYSE 10th house. The square aspect of Venus and Neptune promises that pigs will lose this year big time.
The solar eclipse was visible from Ireland to China. It was seen at the eastern horizon in Ireland, Britain and western Europe. It was at the zenith over the Near East and Russia.
