Lunar Eclipse 7/16/2019

The lunar eclipse comes at 10:32 PM GMD, or 5:32 PM EDT.

It has Moon conjunction Pluto and Saturn with the South Lunar Node. The Eclipse Moon is opposite Sun and Venus with the North Lunar Node. This brings great tension to the world.
Moon conjunct Pluto with Pluto in opposition to the Sun signals a complicated period with lots of confusion, eccentric behavior in political circles, plenty of dealings with the police, underworld figures and street gangs. Venus is exactly in opposition with Saturn, terrible for Venus, signaling waste, dissipation, carelessness, sickness, and losses.
Mercury is retrograde in Leo conjunct Mars in Leo and square Uranus in Taurus. This causes sharp words, much mental stress and confusion.
Where the lunar eclipse is visible, the effects are stronger. Where it is not visible it registers as a strong lunation.
It's effects will last over the next 3 months.

A lunar eclipse in the 3rd decanate of Capricorn (24:01 Capricorn) is said to bring the death of some king, or head of state, and sedition.
Countries corresponding to Capricorn include India, Afghanistan, Macedonia, Albania, Bosnia, Greece, Bulgaria, Lithuania, and Mexico, and the city of Brussels.
The eclipse is visible though Africa, Europe, the Middle East, and India, but extends from South America to New Zealand. It is a partial eclipse.

The eclipse chart for Washington DC has the eclipse Moon, Pluto and Saturn in the 2nd house opposite Venus, Sun, Mercury, and Mars in the 8th house, square Uranus in the 5th house. This shows  dangers of a serious loss of money and a fall in the markets within 3 or 4 months. With Uranus in the 5th house, this could be sudden and sharp. Nonetheless, Jupiter is in the 1st house conjunct the Ascendant (Jupiter 15:30 Sagittarius, and the Ascendant 12:32 Sagittarius) showing the public outlook optimistic and resilient. Neptune is in the 3rd house at 18:33 Pisces, showing the media lying to and misleading the people. Neptune is square Jupiter, and confirms that.
Jupiter, Saturn, Pluto, and Neptune are all retrograde, and rising on the east side of the chart. This could delay the effects, and cause them to repeat.

Solar Eclipse 7/2/19

The Solar eclipse happened at 8:23 PM GMD. It was directly over Chile, Argentina, and Uruguay. It is possible that an earthquake in that region will follow. There is a transit of Venus to the eclipse degree (10 degrees Cancer) on the 11th and 12th of July for a possible repercussion. The Moon also passes square the eclipse on the 8th of July (when Mercury turns Retrograde), and opposition the eclipse on the 15th of July for possible timings of repercussions as well. In other areas of the world, the eclipse, not being visible, acts mainly as a strong lunation.

A solar eclipse in the 2nd decanate of Cancer is associated with the drying up of rivers, and social unrest.
Countries and areas under Cancer include Scotland, Holland, north and west Africa, and Paraguay; cities include Tunis, Algiers, Amsterdam, Venice, Milan, New York, Manchester, Stockholm, Constantinople, and Genoa where effects may be felt.

The eclipse is in opposition to Saturn and sextile to Uranus. It gives the feeling of intolerance of restraints.

Mercury is conjunct Mars square Uranus. There will be loud arguing and danger of fighting. Mercury turns retrograde on the 8th of July exactly in conjunction with Mars. The week of the 5th - 12th of July looks particularly tense.

The eclipse chart for Washington, DC, has the eclipse plus Mars and Mercury all in the 9th house. It continues the troubles over foreign affairs, and restrictions over trade and commerce. Saturn is in the 3rd house, restricting communication with that foreign power, Iran. Uranus is exactly on the 7th house cusp bring unexpected complications to foreign affairs. Uranus is exactly opposite the Part of Fortune, or Lunar Ascendant,  causing extreme attenuation of ties and communication. I believe this is speaking about Iran.
Meanwhile, Jupiter is in the 2nd house square Neptune in the 5th. The market will go up, but the square to Neptune warns of over expansion.

The eclipse chart for Teheran, Iran has the eclipse in the 4th house, Mars and Mercury in the 5th house, and Saturn in the 11th house. This is a bad sign for agriculture in that land. Saturn in the 11th house causes difficulties to the government including dissensions, and possible party splits. Uranus is in the 2nd house. This brings unexpected losses. Mars and Mercury in the 5th house bring violent crimes against women.
