On Saturday June 26 there’s a Partial Eclipse of the Moon.
Let me explain what that means. An eclipse of the Moon is by definition a Full Moon, in other words when the Sun and the Moon are on opposite sides of the Earth from each other. You can therefore draw a straight line between these three bodies.
When you have a total eclipse of the Moon, the Earth, the Sun and the Moon are exactly lined up, vertically as well as horizontally. The Earth stops the Sun’s rays from hitting the Moon, and the sphere of the Full Moon darkens.
On Saturday June 26 the line-up is close, but it’s not close enough to darken the Full Moon, which is why the eclipse is partial rather than total.
Nonetheless in astrology eclipses are a big deal, and this eclipse is made powerful by the fact that it’s exactly conjunct Pluto – the Moon is at 4 degrees 46 minutes Cancer, the Sun at 4 degrees 46 Capricorn and Pluto is at 4 degrees 6 minutes Capricorn. The eclipse also receives a 90-degree aspect from Jupiter and Uranus.
As a result of this eclipse, a lot of hidden emotions could be released. Not just over the weekend, but also over the next fortnight. We therefore mustn’t over-react to external pressure, especially if we’re a Cancer or a Capricorn.
From a global perspective, the eclipse could be quite tense. In Britain there could be a sense of having to face reality – not just because of cuts in government spending, but also because of England being knocked out of the World Cup. In West Africa the eclipse could have a powerful influence – for example in Tunisia and Nigeria. Another part of the world to watch is India’s North East frontier, as well as Bangladesh.

Archie, I can see you are easing us into a World cup loss. Has anyone approached you to forecast the winner?
Do William Hills employ an astrologer?
John,
I didn’t want to reply until England were definitely out. I knew at the end of May that England had no chance of winning, and it was just a question of when rather than if.
I use horary astrology to make these kind of predictions, in other words casting a chart for when a question is asked. However I prefer it if someone else asks the question, rather than me. And in the case of England, my sister asked me the question, so it was all very easy.
As to whether William Hill employs an astrologer… probably not. And of course if an astrologer was able to always accurately predict soccer matches, then they wouldn’t need to be employed by William Hill!
Archie,
I am sad England lost, however life goes on!
I find the concept of horary astrology interesting. Does this mean that the questions timing effectively becomes the birth date/time for the chart?
Thanks for the reply.
