California and the Difficult Month of July 2010


As we are now in eclipse season and the in the midst of the Cardinal Climax transits, I thought it would be good to go over the transits and the solar eclipse of July 11, 2010 for the chart of California.

A couple of the stand out features of this chart are the oppositions between Mars conjunct Mercury in Libra to Saturn in Aries in the mid Cardinal signs and the oppositions between Venus conjunct Moon conjunct the AC in Scorpio to Pluto and Uranus in Aries.  Uranus rules the 4th house, Pluto rules the 1st, Venus rules the 7th, all are involved in the oppositons ruling angular houses.  In addition, Mars is the traditional ruler of Aries and thus is the depositor for Saturn, Pluto, and Uranus.  The depositor of Mars is Venus in Scorpio who's ruler is Pluto, thus Mars is very important in this chart as the final depositor of all and making the transits of Mars essential to watch.  The Node is elevated in this chart sitting near the MC.

In the past year or so, the California chart has seen the following eclipses:  August 5, 2009 LE at 13-14 Aquarius opposite the Node and January 26, 2009 SE at 6 Aquarius conjunct Lilith.  The following eclipses are still active in this chart:  September 11, 2007 SE at 18 Virgo, February, 20, 2008 LE at 1-2 Virgo.  These eclipse degrees and planets (points) along with all the eclipse degrees in the past few years are senstized to upcoming transits.

The upcoming Solar Eclipse of July 11, 2010 at 19 Cancer doesn't eclipse any radical position in the chart but it does eclipse the Progressed IC exact. Also in looking at this progressed chart, it is noted Progressed Mars was eclipsed on January 26, 2009 along with the Progressed Node at 5 Leo sitting in the 4th house.  The Progressed Venus at 11 Capricorn was hit opposite by the lunar eclipse of December 31, 2009.


The eclipse takes place exactly on the Progressed IC of this chart bringing all 4th house matters into focus to bring about changes.  Eclipses tend to clip out parts of life in which house they fall in order to make way for the new.  Yet, they have a way of doing so in a dramatic fashion usually in the form of a crisis.  According to the astrologer Raphael, earthquakes follow closely on the heels of eclipses and especially in those places where it falls on the MC/IC axis.  This eclipse does take place on the Progressed IC  with the upcoming July 11, 2010 SE for California. 

The transits for the date of the eclipse has the Node conjunct Progressed Venus--the Progressed chart ruler.  Transiting Venus will be conjunct the eclipse of February 20, 2008 trine to the Progressed AC, opposite the Progressed Sun, Neptune, Transiting Chiron and Lilith.  Transiting Mercury squares the Progressed AC, conjuncts the Progressed Node, and opposes both the Progressed Mercury and Mars.  Transiting Saturn in an eclipse degree is conjunct with malefic fixed star Scheat.  Transiting Pluto trines the Progressed AC, Transiting Venus, and the Progressed Moon but squares both Transiting Jupiter and Uranus. Transiting Neptune conjoins the Progressed Sun. And yet, there is more---Transiting Mars conjuncts the eclipse of September 11, 2007 at 18 Virgo conjunct with the Radical Sun and exactly square to the Radical Vertex.  Last but certainly not least, this eclipse squares the Radical and Progressed Saturn!  California's chart is on fire with the transits and eclipses to important positions from now throughout July with the great potential to set off the adverse aspects in its chart.  There really isn't a day in July where the charts of California, Los Angeles, and San Francisco are not affected as the many of the outer planetary radical positions are in Cardinal signs.  Having Mars transiting the sign of Virgo, the Sun sign of both Los Angeles and California and San Francisco's Jupiter only adds to the danger.

Since the angles of all California's charts have been eclipsed in the past year whether it's the radical or progressed charts affecting the MC/IC axis, the potential for weather related problems, especially seismic activity is hightened to an alarming degree.  The danger period lasts for the next couple of weeks.  All days leading up to the solar eclipse are implicated.
