No part of the Moon will be in complete shadow. The eclipse will last 4 hours and 39 minutes overall, and will be visible from far eastern Asia and Australia, the Americas, and western Europe and Africa.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino;\">This is a <span style=\"color: #993300;\"><a style=\"color: #993300;\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Umbra,_penumbra_and_antumbra\">penumbral<\/a><\/span> south node eclipse of the <span style=\"color: #993300;\"><a style=\"color: #993300;\" href=\"https:\/\/eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov\/LEsaros\/LEsaros113.html\">lunar Saros 113 series<\/a><\/span>. It is the 64<sup>th<\/sup> out of 71 eclipses in that series, thus a waning series and comparatively weak, both by placement in the series and by aspects in the eclipse figure. Being a south node eclipse, the suggestion there is of resolution of troublesome situations. That is confirmed by the midpoint structure to the eclipse axis.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino;\">As stated above, the maximum eclipse will culminate over the Mountain Time Zone in the US. The culmination lines are shown below (<span style=\"color: #993300;\"><a style=\"color: #993300;\" href=\"http:\/\/malvinartley.com\/PDF%20Files\/charts\/lunar_eclipse_map25mar24.jpg\">bigger<\/a><\/span>):<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1522\" height=\"742\" class=\"wp-image-2628\" src=\"https:\/\/malvinartley.com\/blog.malvinartley.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/word-image-2626-2.png\" srcset=\"https:\/\/malvinartley.com\/blog.malvinartley.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/word-image-2626-2.png 1522w, https:\/\/malvinartley.com\/blog.malvinartley.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/word-image-2626-2-300x146.png 300w, https:\/\/malvinartley.com\/blog.malvinartley.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/word-image-2626-2-1024x499.png 1024w, https:\/\/malvinartley.com\/blog.malvinartley.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/word-image-2626-2-768x374.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino;\">Aside from the lunar culmination line, the Mars and Saturn culminations are of particular interest given current world affairs \u2013 the Mars line passed through the Caucasus and directly over the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait, where the Houthis are causing major headaches for the Zionists and Western powers, with the Saturn line passing through Iran and near the Strait of Hormuz. Iran coordinates the Axis of Resistance. There are rumors that a major regional war is about to be sparked if the IOF invades Rafah. Those culmination lines just mentioned reflect the volatility in that region. If a major war breaks out the straits just mentioned could be easily choked off by Iran and the Houthis, thus crashing the world economy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino;\">The eclipse axis is at the 6<sup>th<\/sup> degree of Libra\/Aries, the Sabian symbols for which are as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino;\">A square with one of its sides brightly illumined (5\u00b0 \u2013 6\u00b0 Aries)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino;\">A man watches his ideals taking a concrete form before his inner vision (5\u00b0 \u2013 6\u00b0 Libra)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino;\">Dane Rudhyar in his book <span style=\"color: #993300;\"><a style=\"color: #993300;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Astrological-Mandala-Transformations-Symbolic-Phases\/dp\/0394719921\"><em>An Astrological Mandala<\/em><\/a><\/span> describes the lunar degree as \u201cThe need to visualize clearly one&#8217;s dreams or ideals in order to make them truly effectual.\u201d For the solar degree he adds, \u201cThe emotional desire for concrete and stabilized existence as a person.\u201d Thus we have a specific meaning to this eclipse \u2013 the introduction of pioneering ideas, rather than events. This is particularly to be noted with the Sun\/Uranus semisquare in the eclipse figure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino;\">The wild card of the culmination lines cuts across China, where we see the Jupiter and Uranus culminations. Perhaps China will be able to pull another diplomatic coup of the good sort in terms of ending the two major conflicts we see today in Ukraine and the Levant. China is favoured in the eclipse with the Moon of the eclipse on China\u2019s Sun and with the Jupiter and Uranus conjunction on Taurus highlighting that nation\u2019s soul. Its diplomatic corps is on the rise, too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino;\">The lord of the eclipse is Venus (the Moon being in Libra with no planets in attendance), showing the urge toward conflict resolution for this eclipse. The Sun has only wide conjunctions, from Neptune out-of-sign in Pisces and Chiron in Aries on the other side of the Sun. Mercury is out of orb but in the same sign.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino;\">In terms of the midpoint modulus the Sun and Moon form a midpoint with Uranus, described as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino;\">\u201cThe urge for freedom, the urge to act independently, lack of adaptability, inner rebellion. &#8211; Sudden events in friendship, marriage, parental home, shared upsets, sudden conflicts, separation of the partners.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino;\">In terms of world affairs, this combination is on full display. However, its indications will be on the increase from the time of the eclipse itself and with the subsequent activations. There are internal rebellions mounting over the various world conflicts within Western governments, within NATO, within the EU, and so on. That there are shared upsets is plain enough. But at the first Mars activation we may well see the separation of some partners in the Western axis. We also see the urge for freedom within Moldova with their two separatist regions, within the Russian-speaking oblasts of what remains of Ukraine, with the Palestinians and Israel, with KT, and these are only the most obvious cases. There are more to be sure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino;\">We also see the urge to act independently, for instance with Macron in France, who wants to save his political neck as well as to see France once again as a major regional power. We see the nations who aspire to the BRICS partnership striving for freedom from the IMF and World Bank financial yoke and their respective urges to act independently of the old <em>Pax<\/em> <em>Americana<\/em> rules-based order. All these things are already in evidence somewhat, but they will become more pronounced from the eclipse onward and especially at the Mars activations, along with the solar activations every six months.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino;\">The other midpoint to the Sun and Moon supports the Sabian symbols noted above, in that it is a midpoint with brings &#8220;the wings of artistic genius and inspiration&#8221;. It favors writers and creative visual artists, giving a strong sense of aesthetics to any impressions that might come through which this eclipse may inspire.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino;\">The first Mars activation takes place soon after the eclipse on the median date of 7 May of this year. This eclipse is the companion eclipse to the total solar eclipse on the April 9, two weeks after this eclipse. As such, the Mars activations of this eclipse will accompany the Mars activations of the other eclipse. So, we can look for the precipitation of events throughout May, since Mars activations are effective a week on either side of the median transit dates. The further activations of this eclipse are as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino;\">The Sun on every March 25<sup>th<\/sup> and September 28<sup>th<\/sup> for the next few years.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino;\">Mars again on the 25<sup>th<\/sup> of August 2025, with Neptune slowly coming into the mix with its passage into Aries around that time.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino;\">Saturn on the 26<sup>th<\/sup> of March in 2026, thus \u2018finishing\u2019 the eclipse, accompanied by Mars on April 16<sup>th<\/sup>. If there are major events to be indicated by this eclipse they will no doubt come during the Mars and Saturn activations.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino;\">The nations most likely to see significant events from this eclipse are as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino;\">Iran (Sun, think BRICS)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino;\">Schengen area of the EU (Sun, think fracturing)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino;\">China (Sun, think BRICS))<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino;\">Saudi Arabia (Moon, also BRICS)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino;\">Afghanistan (Moon, soon to be BRICS member)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino;\">Greece (Moon, <span style=\"color: #993300;\"><a style=\"color: #993300;\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/g_morkert\/status\/1771584465946505306\">Cyprus is the next Zionist colony?<\/a><\/span>)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino;\">Lebanon (Moon, a Hezbollah escalation?)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino;\">Tunisia (Moon, the French disconnection?)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino;\">The UK (Uranus, Sunak out, leadership shuffle)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino;\">The US (Midheaven, finally reality bites)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino;\">South Africa (Jupiter, think BRICS+)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino;\">Belarus (Horizon axis, think EAEU)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino;\">Bolivia (Pluto, another coup attempt?)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino;\">State of Palestine (Mars, enough said) Perhaps a victory, at least of sorts.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino;\">Turkey (Mars, a clash with NATO, maybe BRICS membership)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino;\">Syria (Midheaven, Americans out, BRICS possibilities)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino;\">EU Parliament (Venus, think parliamentary elections, swing to the right)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino;\">North Korea (Mercury, think opening trade deals with Russia)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino;\">Italy (Neptune, yet another election??)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino;\">India (Neptune, East or West?

Who knows?<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino;\">The most important takeaway from this eclipse will be its role in the introduction of ideas rather than that of signalling specific events. We will probably not know what those ideas are for some time because ideas take time to percolate and manifest. Aries is the sign most associated with pioneering ideas, with its esoteric motto, \u201cI come from the plane of mind and from there in I rule.\u201d The manifestation of those ideas would most likely begin at the Saturn activations of this eclipse 2026. For now, we wait and see\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino;\">Featured pic from <span style=\"color: #993300;\"><a style=\"color: #993300;\" href=\"https:\/\/stock.adobe.com\/it\/images\/an-ethereal-zodiac-sign-aries-generative-ai\/573803879\">Adobe Stock images<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The first eclipse for 2024 takes place on the full moon for Easter on the 25th of March.
