Chinese astrological predictions for the year of Wood Horse

The Chinese lunar new year always begins at the 2nd new moon after the winter solstice. There are 60 signs in the Chinese astrological system. These consist of 12 basic signs with 5 elements for each of them. For example, there is a Wood Horse, a Fire Horse, an Earth Horse, a Metal Horse and a Water Horse. Horse  comes up every 12th year. Wood Horse repeats every 60th year, and so on.


The year of Wood Horse begins with the new moon of January 30/31, 2014. It is the 28th year in the 60 year cycle. Reduced to an I Ching hexagram, to get a simple outlook for the entire world, the beginning (1st hour of the 1st day of the 1st month of the 28th year) gives us the first line of hexagram 39.


The 39th hexagram is called Obstruction. Water is above, the mountain is below. And while it shows an impasse, it says that surprises that may make you happy are coming, and that chances for prosperity will develop. Good fortune may come, but from very far away. International business relations are actively developing, but not without dangers and challenges. The time of this hexagram is very late at night when everything is quiet.
Hexagram 39, Obstruction, is one of the four evil hexagrams in the I Ching. It advises to be mindful of limitations and use your money and resources for learning new skills for the future. Water above, and mountain below describes a high cliff behind you and a rushing river in front of you, and suddenly you discover a tiger stalking you. Heedlessly forging ahead brings you into greater danger.
The hexagram says the southwest furthers, the northeast does not further. The southwest signifies working together and cooperating with others. The northeast signifies standing alone. It also says that it furthers to see the great man, and that perseverance brings good fortune. This means that the time favors self-development in conditions of adversity.
Line 1 says that going leads to difficulties, but coming back wins praise. Impulsive action results in opposition. Forging ahead rashly leads to trouble. Watch carefully. Truth comes out in time.
The first line of this hexagram reduced to an astrological figure, and judged against the signs of the first day and first month of the year show conflicts developing all through the year, and that these conflicts will call for courageous leadership. But, not everyone in power has the wisdom that this calls for.


Wood Horse is one of the most dynamic, active of all the 60 signs in the Chinese zodiac. It drives forward relentlessly. Wood and Horse combine to produce Metal. The nature of Metal produced by Wood Horse makes this sign ruthlessly determined, cutting edge, and dangerous for conflict. It has a militant quality and succeeds come hell or high water. Considering the indications seen by the I Ching hexagram, some degree of shrewdness is needed. Metal can be totally shrewd. It is the most refined of the elements. The world game this year is going to be especially elegant and dangerous.

In terms of the 9 Star system, this is also the year of 4 Wood Star. 4 Wood star is extremely flexible and active. Many points of view will shift and change this year. Not much can be relied upon to stay constant. Many arguments can spring up, and the weather will be stormy and windy. On a positive side, this can bring opportunities to those of us who are flexible, adaptable and skillful.


Because of the time of the new moon, the signs for the world west of Eastern European Time are different than those east of that time zone. West of EET new year begins on the day of Metal Ox. East of EET it begins on the day of Water Tiger. East of the time zone the indications are more yang, meaning, the east tends to take the lead this year. Violence and contention coming up in the east will increase. The violence in the Ukraine, for example, will escalate. The zone east of EET includes eastern Europe, all of Asia, Australia and New Zealand.


The new year chart made for China has a predominance of Wood and Fire. There is no Metal. China this year is very active in all areas of business and finance. The deity of the chart is called Implicit Talent. This shows innovative, boundless creative activity. The arts are flourishing. No Metal may indicate conflict with the west, possibly in the Fall.


The new year chart made for the UK and the EU has a predominance of Water. This could indicate a lot of rain with flooding, and a very cold winter in 2014-15. The chart deity is called Conventional Wealth. It focuses on matters of finance. Important decisions are made. UK and the EU now have three stars of Tien Yi. This may be lucky. They may help resolve the predicament. Whether this is peaceful or violent has yet to be seen. The Robbing Star is also showing. Who steals from whom is not a riddle.


The new year chart made for the US also has predominant Water, indicating rain, flooding and a very cold winter. Extremes of weather are to be expected. The chart deities are called Conventional Wealth and Talent. As in the UK and EU, this focuses on matters of finance. And it focuses on innovative, creative activity. This will be a productive year for the arts in America. In addition to three Tien Yi stars, the US chart has Traveling Horse, Knife Blade and Heaven Medicine. Traveling Horse shows changes coming in business. Coinciding with Knife Blade, it says that these changes will involve extreme competition. Not everyone will succeed. The business climate will be extremely cut throat. Heaven Medicine star suggests developments coming in medicine.


Forecasts for the 12 zodiac signs.


Rat in the year of Horse is challenged by opposition. It is important for you to be productive and meet your challenges creatively. Financial gains are possible, especially in the second half of the year. This is a good year for you to use your talent and wit to turn problematic situations to your advantage. The year favors moving, rearranging your home, and making necessary changes at work. If you are in a relationship this year could bring you a lot of pleasure.


Ox has a complex relation to Horse. The challenge that Wood Horse makes on Ox to be productive can be exhausting. It is important for you to pay attention to your health, to take time out for relaxation and play, and to pay attention to personal cultivation. Horse is the Star of Romance for Ox. It says this a good year for you to be in love.


Tiger gets along very well with Horse. Horse invites Tiger to be productive and prosperous. Wood Horse brings you lots of social possibilities; it encourages you stand out and demonstrate your leadership abilities. It is a very good year for you to rise up in the world.


Rabbit is at an advantage this year. It is good to be productive and to take advantage of your opportunities. Be careful to resist temptation to engage in conflict. This could be a year for romance.


Dragon may rest on its laurels this year, but not rely on the support it imagines it is getting. Be careful not to let yourself be fooled. Not everything is the way it seems. While you are strong, you may find the demands made on you exhausting.  It is easiest for you to rely on yourself this year.


Snake is not in the strongest position this year. Your situation can be like playing second fiddle when it is better not to. You may not be as effective as you might like to think you are. Better turn your attention to yourself, satisfy your thirst for knowledge, study something new, and work to solve whatever problems you have. While you are protected by Wood Horse, it will be very much to your advantage to take care of your health this year.


Horse in the year of Horse is extremely active. Horse clashes with Horse. This means there is the chance that your patience will run out from time to time, and to your disadvantage. Be careful to avoid acting destructively; you can wreck your situation if you do. That said, you are in a commanding position and can stand out and show your leadership abilities to advantage this year.


Sheep and Horse are very friendly. Sheep is supported and cheered by Horse. This is a good year for you to build up your money, to do away with nonessentials, and to build positive relationships. Friendly people will come to your aid this year. The tide will turn in your favor.


Monkey is challenged by Horse. Wood Horse can entice the Monkey with financial dreams, calling on the Monkey to take the lead, but only to fool the Monkey into exhausting itself, when this year might actually be asking you to let go of the past and start seeking a new life. This might be the year to change your work, move house, or travel.


Rooster is best off yielding to overpowering forces this year. It is also advantageous for you to initiate a new life if need be. New beginnings are good. If this year brings marriage it could be very good.


Dog and Horse are very friendly. Wood Horse challenges Dog to come out and play. The prospects are good if Dog accepts. This is a very good time for making plans. If you are thinking of having a baby, and are a woman, this year is good for pregnancy. This is also a good year for you to be productive if you are an artist.


Pig can be very productive and prosperous in the year of Wood Horse. The Horse brings out your mental powers. You can be sharp and take advantage of your opportunities. On the other hand, however, you will need to be cautious to protect yourself against being taken unfair advantage of and being robbed in some sense. Keep your eyes open.

January 1 new moon in astrology

A new moon on new year's day means a new start in every sense for the whole world as new year is a universal celebration - a universally shared moment. Because of the astrological configuration shown at this new moon, the watchword for the year is 'either break through or break down.' It's either/or this year, folks. Surprising and dramatic events and developments, good and bad, will come about. There is lots of tension that can be used creatively and destructively. This is an excellent year. This new moon is also a super moon, meaning it brings up changes in the earth itself. We can anticipate storms and increased seismic activity to come.

The new moon occurred on January 1 at 11:15 AM GMT. It forms a cardinal grand cross with the Sun, Moon, Pluto and Mercury in Capricorn opposite Jupiter in Cancer, and square to Mars in Libra and square to Uranus in Aries. The very basic nature of this configuration is maximum tension. Aggressive moves will be made by Governments, banking institutions, entrepreneurs and corporations. Clashes will ensue. The strong will win, whatever the cost. The wise will take shrewd and positively decisive steps, and not fear.  

Of significance, 10 and 11 degrees Capricorn, the degrees in which we find this new moon and Pluto, respectively, point directly to the UK, the Eurozone and the Ukraine. These are areas of maximum tension; radical change must occur.

The new moon chart for the UK has the Sun, Moon, Pluto and Mercury in the 10th house, Jupiter in the 4th, Mars in the 7th, and Uranus in the 1st house. There is tremendous tension in the Government, facing growing opposition. The people are in an angry mood; strikes, rioting, violence, assassinations, and rising up against authority should not surprise us if and when they occur. Mars afflicted in the 7th house shows international disputes. The new moon severely afflicted in the 10th house also points to illness and possible death among nobility, and loss of national honor.

Because the chart for Bruxelles is so similar to the chart for the UK we can expect much turbulence in the EU as well.

The chart for the US has the Moon, Sun, Pluto, Mercury and Venus all in the 1st house opposite Jupiter in the 7th, and square Mars in the 9th and Uranus in the 3rd. Mars is conjunct the 10th house cusp and Uranus is conjunct the 4th house cusp. The new moon afflicted in the 1st house shows much turbulence in the mood of the people. There is discontent and ill health among the majority of the people whose affairs generally are not going along satisfactorily. Mars and Uranus are in the 9th and 3rd houses show discontentment voiced in media. Watch out for deliberate fear mongering. Mars conjunct the 10th house cusp with Uranus conjunct the 4th house cusp points to discontentment with the Government. Mars afflicting the 10th house cusp points to trouble in the Government connected to military affairs and to the growing unpopularity of the Government. Mars' opposition to Uranus, with Uranus in the 3rd house conjunct the 4th house cusp warns of possible explosions in public buildings as well as possible dangers of car accidents, train wrecks and/or air crashes. It also points to dissention over taxes, especially property taxes. Jupiter afflicted in the 7th house square Mars in conjunction with the 10th house cusp points to quarrels with foreign powers in connection with financial and trade issues.

The general business climate, seen from these charts, is dynamic, highly competitive and exciting. There are breakthroughs to be had. Companies that are ailing may crash while others win. Those that succeed will move fast forward. January, to say the least, is a very dynamic month.

Winter solstice 2013 in astrology

Winter solstice, or the Capricorn ingress, occurred at 5:12 PM GMT on December 21. The outstanding aspects were the Sun at 00 Capricorn coming to conjunction Pluto, square Uranus and square Mars, and the Moon square Saturn. The winter quarter is going to be tense world wide. Weather conditions, especially in Europe, will also prove to be dramatic.

Pluto at 10:54 Capricorn directly involves the charts of the UK and the Eurozone, both of whose Suns are at 10 degrees Capricorn. In a nutshell this means that the economic conditions in Britain and the EU this quarter will continue to be extremely difficult.

The August 24, 1991 independence chart of the Ukraine has Uranus at 10 degrees Capricorn. As Uranus is in the Ukraine's 1st house, and rules Ukraine's 2nd house, this winter marks a significant challenge to Ukrainian autonomy and economic independence. Relative to the condition of the Eurozone this has particular significance.

The Moon's square to Saturn is particularly interesting, as Saturn is conjunct Serpentis, the most malefic star which brings out insanity. We can expect some crazy moves to be made in political circles these coming months.

Also, at the solstice Venus was turning retrograde. Retrograde Venus backs down and gives in. This suggests possibilities of ill advised appeasement.

The solstice chart for the UK (with Uranus in the 10th house opposite Mars in the 4th and square Sun and Pluto in the 6th; and the Moon in the 2nd house square Saturn in the 5th; and Venus in the 7th) suggests that sudden and unanticipated developments will arise in Government circles. There is strong opposition to the Government involving public and military services. The current Government is unable to successfully handle the problems that have arisen in the country and is facing the danger of being defeated. The Moon in the 2nd house square Saturn points to severe financial conditions, and warns of crimes. especially against women and children, as well as much distress and illness with rising mortality. Venus retrograde in the 7th house also shows scandals and crimes against women, and that may involve foreigners.


The solstice chart for Australia has the Moon conjunct the mid-heaven. The Moon square Saturn shows scandals in high circles and unpopularity of the Government. A significant change in the Government may be in the making.

The Solstice chart for the US (with Pluto in the 10th house square Uranus in the 1st and Mars in the 7th, the Sun conjunct the mid-heaven, and the Moon in the 5th house square Saturn in the 8th, and Venus retrograde in the 11th) suggests turbulence among the people. Uranus in the 1st house opposite Mars in the 7th is extremely violent. There may very well be a violent event this winter. These planets square to Pluto in the 10th house with Pluto ruling the 8th house also point to a death or deaths in the highest circles of the nation. Mars afflicted in the 7th house points to danger of international disputes, poor foreign relations with the potential for conflict coming from the West; an argument with China may be developing. The Moon in the 5th house square to Saturn in the 8th points to increased mortality among women, children and the elderly, and shows the deaths of noted characters, especially those who have held prominent positions in the Government. Venus retrograde in the 11th house shows a weak Congress.

What comet Ison at perihelion shows in astrology

Comet Ison will be at perihelion on November 28. The Sun will be at 6 degrees Sagittarius within orb of conjunction with the royal star Antares. Major comets, as a rule, presage coming removals of notable figures from the upper ranks of world leadership as well as dramatic changes in the world's political condition.

The Sun with Ison conjunct Antares adds possibilities of disgrace, ruin, treachery and violence to the world's political drama. Assassinations may follow this comet. It is safe to bet that social unrest in the world will intensify in the coming months. An epidemic may follow upon the heels of this comet as well. If the comet does not break up when it passes through the Sun's corona we will be able to see and tell more from the time it is at perigee.

Sagittarius rules, or strongly influences all of the Arabian nations as a whole, also Australia; Hungary, especially Budapest; Slavonia; Spain; Italy, especially Tuscany; France, especially Province; Belgium, therefore the entire EU; Argentina; Bolivia; Chile; Western Brazil; Eastern Ecuador; Czech Republic; Madagascar; Mongolia; Pakistan; Kenya; Thailand; Siberia; Tibet; The USA east of the Mississippi; and the Vatican.
Places in the USA and Canada influenced by Sagittarius include Alabama; Illinois; Indiana; Mississippi; New Jersey; Ohio; Pennsylvania; Portland, Oregon; Seattle, Washington; Toledo, Ohio; and Toronto, Ontario.

Sagittarius also strongly influences the Church in general. Interesting changes in the organization and position of the Church, whatever denomination, will unfold.

6 degrees Sagittarius affects the 11/22/1943 chart of independence of Lebanon. In this chart we see Mercury at 6 degrees Sagittarius conjunct the mid-heaven at 7 degrees Sagittarius, and opposite Uranus at 7 degrees Gemini. Uranus is the ruler of this chart. There is the second Lebanese independence chart of 1/1/1944. The comet opposes this chart's positions of Uranus and Mars. Mars in this chart rules the 7th and 2nd houses and is in the 8th house conjunct Uranus ruler of the 5th, suggesting  sudden losses and deaths. Conditions in Lebanon may soon become turbulent.

The November lunation period in astrology

This report covers the solar eclipse of November 3 and the full moon of November 17. Between these two events we see Venus at the full moon exactly sextile the solar eclipse, and trine the solar eclipse Mars. The solar eclipse was at 11 degrees Scorpio, and the solar eclipse Mars was at 11 degrees Virgo. Venus at the full moon was at 11 degrees Capricorn. This brings to the world a positively constructive influence despite untoward conditions shown by other planetary aspects in both the eclipse and full moon charts.

The shadow of the eclipse traveled from the southeast coast of North America across the Atlantic into central Africa. Violent events in west and central Africa may be anticipated during the year following as a result of the eclipse.
A solar eclipse in the 2nd decanate of Scorpio traditionally denotes mischief to a peace loving king. Translated to modern terms, it suggests treachery in political affairs.
Countries and areas ruled by Scorpio include Algeria, Morocco, Transvaal, Cappadocia (Turkey), northern Syria, Catalonia, Judea, Bavaria, Queensland.
Cities ruled by Scorpio include Fez, Liverpool, New Orleans, Washington DC, Baltimore, Cincinnati, Milwaukee, St. John's, Halifax and so on.

At the time of the eclipse Uranus at 9 degrees Aries was exactly square with Pluto at 9 degrees Capricorn the world wide effects of which are experienced as tension. Corporate power is at squares with those in disagreement. The eclipse Mars at 11 degrees Virgo sextile Saturn at 13 degrees Scorpio and trine Pluto at 9 degrees Capricorn translates the tensions to constructive activity. Tension in this case allows for constructive activity. Mercury, on the other hand, at 7:26 Scorpio applying to exact conjunction the north lunar node at 7:22 Scorpio presages upsetting news to come. In the UK it speaks of deaths and financial losses. Poverty is severe and the coming winter is going to be bitter. In the EU it speaks of the same and of international quarrels. And in the US it speaks of financial losses and quarrels in the Government. There will be an increase in military activity as well.

The full moon at 25 degrees Taurus was in conjunction with the malefic star Algol. Algol is the most evil star in the heavens. The best that can be said for it is that it marks a good time to cut off whatever negative influences there have been in your life. The worst that can be said is that it speaks of violence. The first thing that happened was a 7.8 earthquake in the Scotia Sea (south Atlantic), and, later in the day, tornados in Illinois.

The full moon with Algol in the UK was in the 1st house pointing to unrest and discontentment amongst the people. The health of the people is poor as well. The same conditions exist in the EU. Everybody is discontent. In the US we find the full moon in the 4th house, and the Sun in the 10th house along with Saturn, the north lunar node and Mercury. There is strong opposition to the Government now. The President is not enjoying popularity, and people in authority are in disgrace. There may be prominent deaths following this full moon as well.

Synastry and love in Chinese astrology, Part I

In the Chinese system called Batzu, astrological compatibility is shown by the signs of your year and day of birth against the signs of the year and day of the birth of your partner. In the Nine Star system compatibility is shown by comparing your year, month and tendency stars to those of your partner. This article discusses compatibility through the Batzu system. Following articles will discuss the individual signs in Batzu, and the Nine Star system.

There are twelve signs in Batzu. They are Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig. In judging compatibility we compare year to year signs, and day to day signs. There are other factors to consider, but these are the basics.

Rat is a yang Water sign. The easiest signs for Rat are Dragon and Monkey. Rat also gets along with Pig, Rooster, Ox, and Tiger. Rat's Flower of Romance is Rooster. The signs most challenging for Rat are Sheep, Horse, and Rabbit. Sheep and Rat have a complicated relationship that may or may not work well depending on the dependability of Rat and the tolerance of Sheep, Rat being the Star of Romance for Sheep.

Ox is a yin Earth sign. The easiest signs for Ox are Snake and Rooster. Ox also gets along with Rat, Dragon, and Snake. The Star of Romance for  Ox is Horse but these can have discord because Horse moves too fast for Ox, and Ox can be stubborn. The signs most challenging for Ox are Sheep and Dog.

Tiger is a yang Wood sign. The easiest signs for Tiger are Horse and Dog. Tiger also gets along with Pig, Rabbit, and Rat. The Star of Romance for Tiger is Rabbit (yum). The signs most challenging for Tiger are Snake, Monkey, Rooster, Dragon, and Sheep.

Rabbit is a yin Wood sign. The easiest signs for Rabbit are Sheep and Pig. Rabbit also gets along with Dog, Tiger, and Snake. The Star of Romance for Rabbit is Rat, but these clash so the relationship between them tends to become complicated with the tricky Rabbit side stepping the aggressive Rat. The signs most challenging for Rabbit are Rooster, Dragon, and Rat.

Dragon is a yang Earth sign. The easiest signs for Dragon are Rat and Monkey. Dragon also gets along with Rooster, Sheep, Snake, and Horse. Dragon's Star of Romance is Rooster. The signs most challenging for Dragon are Dragon, Rabbit, and Dog.

Snake is a yin Fire sign. The easiest signs for Snake are Ox and Rooster. Snake also is attracted to Monkey, although this is a complicated relationship in which both can harm one another if they don't understand one another. Snake also gets along with Horse, Sheep, Dragon, and Dog. Snake's Star of Romance is Horse. The signs most challenging for Snake are Tiger, and Monkey.

Horse is a yang Fire sign. The easiest signs for Horse are Tiger and Dog. Horse also gets along with Sheep, Snake, Rabbit, and Dragon. The Star of Romance for Horse is Rabbit. The signs most challenging for Horse are Horse, Ox, and Rat.

Sheep is a yin Earth sign. The easiest signs for Sheep are Rabbit and Pig. Sheep also gets along with Horse, Dragon, Snake, Monkey, and Rooster. The Star of Romance for Sheep is Rat. But, Sheep and Rat can clash. Sheep and Rat are both adventurous, but they can harm one another if Rat arouses mistrust in the Sheep. The signs most challenging for Sheep are Rat, Ox, and Dog.

Monkey is a yang Metal sign. The easiest signs for Monkey are Rat and Dragon. Monkey also gets along with Snake, but unless these two understand one another they can cause one another trouble. Other signs Monkey gets along with are Sheep, Ox, Dog, and Rooster. The Star of Romance for Monkey is Rooster. The signs most challenging for Monkey are Pig, and Tiger.

Rooster is a yin Metal sign. The easiest signs for Rooster are Snake and Ox. Rooster also gets along with Dragon, Monkey, Sheep, Rat, and Pig. The Star of Romance for Rooster is Horse. The signs most challenging for Rooster are Rooster, Dog, and Rabbit.

Dog is a yang Earth sign. The easiest signs for Dog are Horse and Tiger. Dog also gets along with Rabbit, Snake, and Monkey. The Star of Romance for Dog is Rabbit. The signs most challenging for Dog are Rooster, Dragon, Ox, and Sheep.

Pig is a yin Water sign. The easiest signs for Pig are Sheep and Rabbit. Pig also gets along with Tiger, Rat, and Rooster. The Star of Romance for Pig is Rat. The signs most challenging for Pig are Pig, Monkey, and Snake.

Challenges can bring out great opportunities for self-development; relationships between incompatible people are not entirely useless. On the other hand, we must note that even if there is compatibility between two people their internal personal issues may make the relationship a challenge. There is no easy answer to this.

The 10/19 Lunar eclipse in astrology

The lunar eclipse was at 00:51 AM GMD on October 19 at 25:52 Aries. It was visible in Brazil, all of Africa, Europe, the Middle East, and much of Russia.

A lunar eclipse in the third decanate of Aries is said to cause abortive births and to pose dangers to women. Lands ruled entirely or in part by Aries, in which the eclipse was visible and will register more strongly, include Denmark, England, Wales, France, Germany, Iceland, Israel, Lebanon, Palestine, Poland, Portugal, Spain, and Syria. The force of a lunar eclipse lasts three months on average.

The eclipsed Moon is in the second lunar mansion, called Albothaim. It gives courage, but also recklessness caused by lack of reflection, and can destabilize financial dealings.

For those of you whose birthday falls on this day it signals a turning point in your life. If the eclipse is visible where you are it is all the more powerful, and says that the next three months are going to be most eventful and challenging.

The most important planetary aspects at the eclipse include Mars exactly opposite Neptune, and Uranus exactly square Pluto. Mars and Neptune are at 2 degrees Virgo and Pisces, respectively. Uranus and Pluto are at 9 degrees Aries and Capricorn respectively. These two planetary configurations, because they occur at the time of the eclipse, will play out violently in the world from the time of the eclipse to the end of this year. Mars opposite Neptune is explosive.

The eclipse in the UK occurs at the zenith. There will be loud public outcry against the Government. Mars and Neptune are conjunct the 2nd and 8th house cusps respectively showing the financial crisis becoming explosive. Uranus and Pluto are in the 9th and 5th houses respectively showing trouble in international trade and diplomatic relations.

The eclipse in Bruxelles, therefore for the entire Euro zone occurs in the 9th house showing trouble in international trade relations. Mars and Neptune are in the 1st and 7th houses, respectively showing treachery and double dealing in international relations, and a violently angry spirit among the people; there will be rioting. Uranus and Pluto are in the 9th and 5th houses, respectively showing trouble in international trade and diplomatic relations.

The eclipse in the US is in the 12th house showing a crisis in services. Mars and Neptune are in the 4th and 10th houses, respectively showing treacherous dealings and violent fighting between the incumbency and the opposition in the Government. Uranus and Pluto are in the 11th and 8th houses, respectively showing violent disputes in the Congress having to do with the national debt.
Mars in the 4th house opposite Neptune in the 10th house shows that the people are being lied to, and are becoming very angry with the Government. The Ascendant in DC at the eclipse is conjunct the Pleiades, also known as the Weeping Sisters. As shown by this eclipse, the national outlook is seriously troubled.
