Quiz Answer: The Drama of an Eclipse

| Vedic Astrology Diary Archives |
As mentioned in yesterday's
quiz, eclipses can represent dramatic changes in people's
lives, especially if they occur at key locations in the chart.
This example is the most dramatic that I've seen.
At the end of October 1994 I gave a reading to a woman who was
planning to go to Peru to witness the total solar eclipse on
November 3rd, 1994. She sensed that this trip represented a
big shift in her life and wanted to know what her chart said.
The eclipse was taking place in her ascendant. I told her, "You
will be a very different person after this eclipse. This is
a major transition in your life."
Natal Chart
Solar Eclipse Nov 3, 1994
Everything was pointing toward a major change of her identity
or self, which the ascendant represents. First of all, the eclipse
was taking place in her ascendant. This is a huge factor in
and of itself. However, she was also running a Jupiter-Venus
dasha. Jupiter is located in her ascendant, while Venus is her
ascendant lord. Furthermore, Jupiter and Venus were both transiting
through her ascendant at the time of the eclipse, along with
the Sun, Moon, and Rahu! Lastly, Jupiter was also aspecting
her Sun, the karaka or significator of the 1st house.
All these factors represented a big change and expansion of
personal identity. Jupiter's aspect by transit on the Sun and
the 9th lord, Mercury, during her Jupiter dasha suggests that
this change takes place while traveling abroad in a foreign
country.
However, there's more. She was in a Venus sub period. Venus
is the karaka of relationship. Venus is also conjunct the 7th
lord, Mars, and in the 7th house from the Moon. Venus by transit
was in her ascendant and conjunct the mahadasha lord, Jupiter.
Furthermore, the double
transit of Jupiter and Saturn, which represents an area
of change or progress, was aspecting her 7th house. These factors
combined represent the start of a new relationship and/or a
change in an existing relationship.
The first day she arrived in Peru, she met a man and fell
in love. After the trip she came back, divorced her husband,
and moved to Peru within six months. She eventually married
the Peruvian man and they had a child together.
Quiz Answer: #3 She met a man, fell in love and moved to Peru.
