Solar eclipse occurs at 2:02 PM PDT at 11 Gemini 01. Using our usual 2 degree orb, we have only two aspects for this eclipse: trines to Saturn and h.Zeus. A Solar eclipse is, in a symbolic sense, a big, bright birth, where the intuition and emotional factor, for a short interval, blocks the Solar principle, which is all that’s open, conscious, and life-giving–but in the blocking is a symbolic absorption, and thus a powerful combination of the unconscious and intuitive with the conscious and worldly–and a new level of understanding is born.

With the Sun/ Moon conjunction we see a strong, positive relationship to time, constraint, form, reality, and what’s solid (Saturn) and we see the eclipse energy contacting the concepts of ambition and desire (h.Zeus)–this marries the ‘birth’ energy, ‘what is,’ and the push of goals and desires in a powerful three-way relationship, making for an eclipse that rides on a swell of highly perceptible and highly charged energy. In particular, the input of h.Zeus is one of desiring, asserting, and working to gain, and may be the ‘secret’ engine behind the Solar eclipse impetus.

We’ll bring into the reality only those things we’ve invested with a serious desire energy and in some sense released into the Collective. This is in part because 1) the h.Zeus involved is the transiting body, not the natal one, and 2) because an eclipse involves the current transiting Moon, symbol of the Collective unconscious and the emotion that is ‘stored’ in the Akashic Records (briefly, that’s an energy record of all that has ever been) where our ‘energy investment’ is recorded–and from which it will be manifested by the eclipse contact to Saturn. So, what comes must meet these conditions–and will be related directly to the natal House where the eclipse occurs.

The Sabian for the Solar Eclipse echoes what the planetary scheme already spelled out–with the important addition that this will occur in an area for each individual where we feel either at a disadvantage, or where we have been struggling for our personal independence, but where we are somewhat sophisticated. To begin something we’ve dreamed of, independent of others (or of previous restraints or restrictions), something we’ve been striving for and for which we’ve put energy, consciously or not, into the Collective–this is the essence of the Solar eclipse for June 2011 at a personal level.
