Lunar Eclipse

The Lunar Eclipse on August 5, 2009 falls along the Leo/Aquarius axis at 13 degrees, 43 minutes, with the Moon in Aquarius and the Sun in Leo. In a natal horoscope, if you have planets or chart points at those degrees you will feel the effects of the eclipse more strongly. In Mundane Astrology, the astrology of world events, the emphasis is on the 6th/12th house axis when the chart is erected with a Washington, DC location. The 12th house is the house of secrets and behind the scenes, cloak and dagger stuff. The 6th house rules health, labor and the armed forces. Those in power will be dealing with terrorism, hostage situations and human rights issues. As a confirmed skeptic when it comes to politicians my guess is that there will be secret meetings between government officials and the health care industry, insurance and drug companies etc, where the American people will get screwed again. Also, those in power, the famous and glamorous will be reminded of the unpredictable nature of public opinion. Today they love you, tomorrow their ready to run you out of town.
