An eclipse always attracts, always captivates
, desde la más remota antigüedad nos sentimos atraídos por un evento que “modifica las leyes de la naturaleza”, de pronto llega, sin saber de dónde vino, sin conocer como acabara…
It is easy to imagine the terror it caused among rulers, nothing less than the SUN, the supreme one, the king of the sky eclipsed! If that could happen in the sky, what might not happen to them? And besides, the entire people witness it!, the rulers must have thought, -"they observe the king of the sky dethroned, defeated by shadows"
Predecir los eclipses fue pronto una tarea importante para los astrólogos de antaño, tenemos una curiosa referencia de Cristóbal Colon sobre ello, Colon fue introducido en la corte por un rabino, Abraham Zacuto que conto con grandes conocimientos de astrología (la astronomía era consustancial en esa época con la astrología), también la medicina.
Although what interests us is to know the surprising influence of his work on navigators Vasco da Gama and Christopher Columbus, history explains that it was this astrologer who guided the two navigators, one at the direct request of the king and the other thanks to his influence, he was also asked to ascertain the "fortune" of Vasco da Gama's venture, and what is most interesting is not this, what is most curious is that one of the tasks of the royal astrologer was to find the opportune moment for departure, this seems to indicate that both Columbus and Vasco da Gama departed at the most favorable moment for their enterprise, anyone with knowledge of astrology can attest to this.
Christopher Columbus managed to save his life thanks to Zacuto's work, Columbus had his astronomical tables and they indicated a lunar eclipse for February 29, 1504, he was arrested in Jamaica but managed to save himself and his men by threatening to "make the Moon disappear", and thus thanks to the "power" of the eclipse he managed to free himself, this event, as you may have already suspected, served Mark Twain to write chapter 4 of A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court.
A solar eclipse was and is a symbol of the fall of kings and rulers, and even more so when it occurs over the horoscope of said ruler, on August 21 we will have a total solar eclipse that will be seen in its totality over the United States of North America, it will be the locality of Hopkinsville, Kentucky, where it can be observed for the longest time, 2 minutes and 40 seconds of absolute darkness, although to interpret its effect it is enough for us to have the passage of the shadow, and this passage will cover the entire heart of the USA, observe carefully the video provided by NASA, we see how it darkens over Europe when the eclipse leaves North America, arriving only a partial view to Spain, although it will be appreciable.
This eclipse has the particularity of influencing the ascendant of the current ruler of the USA, and also the Mexican ruler, one on his progressed Sun ascendant and Mars, the other on his natal Moon, in both cases the influence is very powerful and lasting, the effect of this eclipse in terms of its effects will be seen for more than 2 years, and to a large extent comes from the USA, an eclipse in a fire sign points to powerful characters, the midheaven on Saturn...
any conflict between Mexico and the USA can end up affecting their respective rulers in a way I would call DEVASTATING, despite this it does not appear that the effect is notable over the American countries, rather it affects their rulers, in the case of Trump notably, the image presented is that of someone who goes to the extreme and runs out of resources.
At the European level Leo represents above all France and its rulers, this eclipse points to Le Pen and Macron, to her on Venus and to him on Saturn (responsibility)
At the individual level, people born at the end of Leo and Aquarius or those who have important planets or the ascendant on the MC at those degrees will see an activation of those areas, if for example it were sector VI and the affected planet were Saturn or Mars, it would be advisable to care for coronary health, tensions, if the planet were Venus and sector X, one's own career could be exposed to a setback, if Mars is on the ascendant the affected planet, the individual may be nullified in the eyes of others, at least temporarily, and that is just what is seen in Trump's horoscope.
