Every lunation, be it new moon or full moon, for a certain location is like photography of ongoing planetary cycles and indeed a chart for a period of time, which covers approximately two weeks. These are umbrella charts highlighting prevailing conditions and themes. Hence each solar eclipse too is like a super lunation but much more effective in the longer term and I can presume that their activity is much more highlighted until the next one. A solar eclipse chart is a general indicator providing us with larger and thicker contours of picture of the times.

2019 begins with a solar eclipse in the very middle degree of Capricorn on January 6th. Naturally, this chart will be a major indicator in the first half of this year. Capricorn brings and triggers changes in political matters, things pertaining to the state affairs and rulers. The times of Capricorn usually highlights issues relating to ancestral figures, father figures, order and hierarchy.

As this will be an eclipse on the South node, its themes are more in the direction of disintegration, deterioration and likely turmoil and chaotic conditions. So, we can envisage for the first half of 2019 that the prevailing times would show serious concerns regarding world political order and structures which sometimes reflected in malfunctioning leaders and strong necessity for restructuring and transformation.

Indeed, eclipse degree falls closely on direct Saturn/Pluto on midpoint in Capricorn. Ebertin calls this midpoint as hard labor, tenacity and toughness. As this is in the sign of goat, general atmosphere of the world for this period, at least up until the next full moon and as well as to the next eclipse (on the July 2nd 2019) would indicate very hard, arduous and self-disciplinary attitudes, seriousness, difficult managerial tasks, organizational changes and usually disruption. Generally during this period of time, we would expect changes and stress on themes like big corporations, restrictions, scarcities, taxing and rules & obligations, as well as traditions and ancestry.

I hope this doesn't allude to a long shutdown - I was really hoping it would have opened by now.

Thank you for posting!
