The 9/11/07 eclipse is right on top of my birth chart's ecliipse -

[PinkTiger]

it is conjunct, in fact. I was born 9/12/50 in Leavenworth, Kansas.
at 4:31 a.m.

What does this mean? I can never read my own chart. I hope it is not bad news for anyone in my family.

1. No not bad news! Very interesting.

Your prenatal birth eclipse was 19 Virgo.
And the initial eclipse of that series was 22 Pisces.
This is to some extent the ruler of your PNE.
That is a very spiritual and mystical kind of energy
and it combines with the practicality, service, and analytic ability
of your PNE to make for someone who is interested in spirituality but in
a practical down to earth way.

And the upcoming SE is also in Virgo, 18 degrees. This particular placement
is going to emphasize the practical, reliable and dedicated aspect of your solar
dusting. There may be issues around health and service for you. But not necessarily in
a bad way, just an emphasis on those issues. And spirituality issues may also be raised.
The current eclipse is ruled by Cancer, so there may be a sentimentality and feeling aspect
for you.

I think it is very exciting to have a transiting eclipse come visit your prenatal eclipse.
Magical and fascinating. Lots of cosmic dusting! Can be very good and fun! Just watch out for the negative of the signs involved. As usual free will is more powerful than any other energy!

2. Thank you!

I'll stop, right now, being pessimistic. T'would be nice to think of something exciting coming in my life this fall. At the moment, I'm quite involved in some exciting work projects, so having that "magic," as you put it, would be great.
The last several years have been nothing short of dismal, so I'm due.

Oh, and I found out I'm going to be a grandmother in October - first child for daughter.

3. How wonderful, what a joy in your life, see what I mean about excitement and service

... you are going to be a busy grandma soon!

LOL now the worry part makes sense! Any grandma worries about her daughter having a baby, and then worries about the baby!
That is our job as women, we worry about the children in the family!
And it is a time of high excitement!

I love eclipse energy, I was born on a total solar eclipse, it was right next to my natal sun and in the middle of my Pisces stellium. The vedics say that will kill you etc etc. But I am alive and kicking. And none the worse for the wear.

And when my PreNatal eclipse has returned to my chart, I have had significant, profound and good changes to my life!

So I just love the eclipse time, like eclipse sun bathing!

4. That explains why I love eclipses.

I love to watch them. My favorite part is looking at the shadows and seeing all the little eclipses in them during the eclipse. I had no idea you could do that, but you certainly can. Next time you are outside during a solar eclipse that is total or almost total, look at the shadows under a tree. You will see thousands of little moons.

5. Oh I will have to try that, how neat! Yes I love eclipse energy too.

Very special cosmic dusting.

[PinkTiger]

6. I wish I understood why the moons are there.

It's simple, I know,but I'm not a science type. LOL

ON edit: I found this site:

It says the leaves on the trees act as a "camera abscura," because there is empty space between them.
