It is a north node eclipse, which points to beginnings and new relationships. The Sun is conjunct the dwarf planet Orcus, a plutino. <span style=\"color: #993300;\"><a style=\"color: #993300;\" href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20090328012339\/http:\/www.mikebrownsplanets.com\/2009\/03\/s1-90482-2005-needs-your-help.html\">Orcus has been called the \u2018anti-Pluto\u2019<\/a><\/span>, hence its glyph. It is called the anti-Pluto not because of any mythology or meaning, but because its orbit is always in the opposite direction to that of Pluto. They orbit in the same direction, but they are found at opposite points, roughly. This is rather of interest to our considerations here.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Both Pluto and Orcus have a 2:3 orbital resonance with Neptune, meaning that for every two orbits around the sun of either Pluto or Orcus, Neptune makes three orbits. They run is lockstep in that manner, thus there is more than a gravitational association with Neptune: The two planets work in concert with Neptune, in that they work to clear the astral field in astrology. <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Plutino\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\">The 2:3 resonance thus categorizes both Orcus and Pluto as plutinos<\/span><\/a>. There are other named plutinos as well \u2013 Achlys, Ixion, Huya and Lempo. We might briefly list them with their current positions (28 Aug 2025):<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><strong>Pluto<\/strong>: Classical lord of the underworld 1Aq50 \u211e<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><strong>Orcus<\/strong>: The punisher of broken oaths 16Vi33<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><strong>Achlys<\/strong>: The mist, which fogs or blinds mortal eyes (often in death) 13Le00<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><strong>Ixion<\/strong>: Blood guilt over an act, madness over defiling one\u2019s soul path. There are a few similarities with the story of Prometheus. 5Cp16<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><strong>Huya<\/strong>: There is confusion around this one. Huya is called either a rain god or a hunting and killing god. Given the characteristics of the other plutinos the mythology is more likely related to wandering barren landscapes in search of nourishment. Rains are more characteristic of a quest object, like we would see with Pluto. 23Sg20 \u211e<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><strong>Lempo<\/strong>: is not a dwarf planet, but rather a trinary hierarchical minor planet system. It\u2019s more modern representation in mythology is that of a male demon, commonly associated with betrayal within intimate relationships. The fire of misdirected passion. 28Ta42<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">All of the plutinos have similar actions along their specific lines. They act as destroyers and in their actions they are all corrective, clarifying and liberating influences similar to Pluto. They act to remove subconscious and karmic influences to our spiritual development. You can find the locations of these bodies in your own chart from the <span style=\"color: #993300;\"><a style=\"color: #993300;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.true-node.com\/eph3\/\">ephemeris generator at True Node<\/a><\/span>. But that brings us back to the eclipse and what the influence of Orcus will bring to it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">The action of Orcus is disciplinary in nature, keeping one on track if one strays from one\u2019s purpose. Orcus restores us to our mission in life when we stray, as we invariably do at times. What it means in our current situation is not difficult to see: There are two significant wars that need to be ended, both of which are proxy wars for the Western powers. International law needs to be restored and rogue states and actors brought back into line. The Sabian symbol for the solar degree speaks to that idea:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">In the zoo, children are brought face-to-face with an orangutan. 16\u00b0 Virgo<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">It is a degree that indicates a type of karmic confrontation, <span style=\"color: #993300;\"><a style=\"color: #993300;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.mindfire.ca\/An%20Astrological%20Mandala\/An%20Astrological%20Mandala%20-%20Virgo%2016-30.htm\">according to Dane Rudhyar<\/a><\/span>. <a href=\"https:\/\/blavatskytheosophy.com\/humanitys-relation-to-the-apes\/\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\">The great apes according to esoteric writings<\/span><\/a> are the spawn of early humanity mating with the animals of the time. They did so without knowledge there was anything wrong, since the mind was very feeble and undeveloped in early humanity. At that point all those millions of years ago humanity was barely distinguishable from the animals. The creation of the apes is considered to be an \u2018accident\u2019. But coming to the present day, this degree, again according to Rudhyar, represents, \u201ca direct confrontation with the &#8220;wild&#8221; power of primordial nature within oneself.\u201d In relation to this eclipse, the symbol for the degree relates to recognition of old errors and corrective actions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><a style=\"color: #993300;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.mindfire.ca\/An%20Astrological%20Mandala\/An%20Astrological%20Mandala%20-%20Pisces%2016-30.htm\">The lunar degree<\/a><\/span> relates to the flow of inspiration in the quiet moments of reflection. Writers and artists can relate to the following:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">In the quiet of his study a creative individual experiences a flow of inspiration. 16\u00b0 Pisces<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">In the opposing symbols for this eclipse we have the recognition of primordial forces and old errors, and the power of the imagination as the soul speaks to us in our quiet moments. In so realizing the duality that exists in each of us \u2013 the ancient animal past and the power and universal reach of the soul \u2013 we gain, \u201creliance upon one&#8217;s inner source of inspiration or guidance,\u201d leading to the realization of \u201csubjective strength.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">The Virgo\/Pisces axis in astrology is one of gestation of spiritual potential (Virgo) leading to salvation (Pisces), the growth of the spiritual potency within each of us that leads to full enlightenment and omnipotence. With Orcus being connected with the solar degree we get the idea of a corrective measure that will bring about a reset of our perception of the world and ourselves, which in turn will eventually lead to liberation from the hold of our more ancient instinctive patterns of behaviour. For the wider world that means bringing the bestial scenes we see on our screens every day to an end, with a return to international law and justice for the oppressed. In that vein, the degree of Orcus is worth noting, too:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">A volcanic eruption. 17\u00b0 Virgo<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">The peoples of the Islamic world are primed to erupt against their leaders regarding the plight of the Palestinians. The symbol for the degree for Orcus could not be clearer: Eruption, or sudden explosive behavior. The two major conflicts in the world are at their respective crisis points, which must eventuate in a catastrophic collapse of the oppressing forces in the West, Israel and Ukraine. We are looking at, \u201cthe explosive energy of long-repressed contents of the subconscious,\u201d referring back to Dane Rudhyar.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Turning to Europe, the peoples of Europe are aghast at what their leadership has brought to the EU bloc and the UK, first from COVID and now the war in Ukraine. European economies are in ruin, with both the UK and France looking at IMF bailouts (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/opinion\/bail-out-france-and-britain-youll-need-a-bigger-imf-5509cf75\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\">which won\u2019t save them<\/span><\/a>). And here is a word to the wise: IMF bailouts <span style=\"color: #993300;\"><a style=\"color: #993300;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eurodad.org\/press-unhealthy-conditions\">require the governments receiving them to implement austerity measures<\/a><\/span>, meaning often savage cuts to social welfare, sell-offs of national assets and so on. This is vulture capitalism at its most brutal. Corrective measures for Europe instead may come in the form of revolutions in the next few years, especially in Western Europe, similar to what we saw in 1989.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">In the United States the situation is much the same as in Europe, similar to what we saw in 2007. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=uD7cEJ54Wog\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\">economy is shaking<\/span><\/a>, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pewresearch.org\/politics\/2025\/04\/23\/evaluations-of-trump-job-approval-and-confidence-on-issues\/\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\">administration is weak<\/span><\/a>, its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.economist.com\/leaders\/2025\/03\/12\/trumps-erratic-policy-is-harming-the-reputation-of-american-assets\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\">policies floundering<\/span><\/a>, a President and First Lady dogged by their past (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=cxeADT4TZBA\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\">whether the stories are true or not<\/span><\/a>)\u2026we could go on. And as is often the case with governments in crisis and facing defeat at the polls and seeking distraction from woes at home, a little war would appear to be just the ticket to keep the public onside \u2013 perhaps a little skirmish with Venezuela or attacking the Mexican drug cartels (which would also impinge on the Mexican government) instead of addressing demand for drugs at home.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Still with the United States, the midterm election cycle in the US has already started, with the House and the Senate both <a href=\"https:\/\/ballotpedia.org\/United_States_Congress_elections,_2026\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\">open for sweeping changes<\/span><\/a>.

Trump has it is for the BRICS bloc (Brazil). Bolivia has just elected a neoliberal leader, probably much to the delight of Washington. Argentina is facing large protests against its neoliberal leadership. And Trump is once again threatening Venezuela, after its oil, emeralds and diamonds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">The Pluto line runs directly through the Caucasus region, where the Western powers are seeking to upend the Chinese BRI, the INSTC transport corridor and threatening Iran.

When we are looking at Pluto in such a case we are looking at internal subterfuge and mischief by the Western powers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">The lunar and nodal culmination line on the other hand runs through India and China, both of who met at the SCO Conference, which in itself is historic, given their past hostilities. Trump has pushed the two nations together by threatening India over Russian oil. The Saturn\/Neptune lines run through Central China, Southeast Asia and Indonesia, where there is intensive activity by the West to weaken the region on the one hand, and intensive activity on the other side to integrate the region into a powerful economic bloc, via China\u2019s BRI, ASEAN and the SCO.

At the same time the two regimes (Israel and Ukraine) at the forefront of the world conflicts are facing collapse. Anything can happen in the immediate future, but we can be certain that we are on our way to realignment with international law and a return to basic human ethics.
