Eclipses denote changes in the Life Tides.

Events will occur in those areas ruled by Houses where the Transiting Nodes lie.

When they Aspect a Key Point in your Natal chart it may be activated at these times.

When there are Eclipses going on (that affect points in your Natal chart) they cause Events. Sometimes things that would seem trivial on a normal day can become snowballs that gather energy to become larger than life during an Eclipse Cycle.

When the Nodes cross things, they set them in motion.

When the Sun comes to this point in the year, that means changes are happening in that particular area of life, so check to see what those Houses cover.

Whatever Signs the Nodes are Transiting are the times of year we find Eclipses.

Right now, it is at the Aries/Taurus and Libra/Scorpio Cusp. (Nodes move backwards.)

So, the Full Moon/New Moons in these Signs are the Eclipse Times of year.

Pay attention to things occurring BETWEEN Eclipses, once one Eclipse has occurred, things are in the swing.

Pay attention to things that happen every Six Months during these periods, as that is the recurrence of the Cycle.

Pay attention to things that happen here every Eighteen Years, as that is the reoccurrence of that particular Eclipse placement (Saros Cycle.)

To know where these changes are going to occur, we look to the House.

If you had trouble between friends/love affairs once, you will probably see them recur every eighteen years. That's eleventh/fifth. If it's home/career, it's probably fourth/tenth.

When the Transiting North and South Node are posited in the First and Seventh Houses, look for changes to the Self and Relationships; Second/Eighth, finances and legacies, that sort of thing.

It is simple to ascertain the basic Tides of Life of a person at a glance, just by gazing into the unlikely sounding crystal of an Ephemeris page. Just by looking at the two/three month period following a person's birth, and noting the Planet Directions and presence of Eclipse Tide in this time will do wonders in the Lifetime Predictions.

Each Stationary Planet and/or New/Full Moon Eclipse will presage an Eventful Age in the life of that person.

One Day Equals One Year.

When someone is born near an Eclipse, they will be particularly noticeable in their life. Depending on where these Nodes fall, and Aspects made to them; both Natally, and in Transit, Events will occur in the life of the Native that can seem cataclysmic in nature.

These Events will occur every Eighteen Years; with the recurrence of the Saros Cycle, i.e. the Sun, Moon & Earth return to the exact same position as they were at person's birth.

They will always occur in the area denoted by Node placement at birth.

That is to say, Houses.

Fifth and Eleventh would be Friends and Affairs, for instance.

Of course, all the Planets are moving at different speeds at every moment, so Aspects will vary greatly from cycle to cycle, but they always occur in the same area.

Whether in the Natal chart, or the Transiting Eclipse area.

Aspects; too, should always be taken into account, as should Planetary Dignity.

These are all pointers to the direction that the Eclipses will carry.

South Nodes are terrible for timing, in one way or another. Something is just off.

In Synastry, for instance, many times Venus/South Node will indicate large gaps between ages.

Something off in the timing.

Eclipses have a pretty wide swing. They can cover a whole Sign in scope. We sometimes have Three Eclipses falling within the same month.

Take that to mean One Sixth of the Zodiac is being affected that year.

A friend of mine just checks to see what Houses her friends Nodes fall in, as a basic rule of thumb. Where will their influence lie?

I like Karmic Astrology, so I always check Natal placement, to give me an idea of where the basic tenor the Life Path will lie. It's an excellent indicator!

So, in closing,

Look at the Nodes!

Whether it's Natal.

Synastry.

Transits (Eclipses.)

They can tell you SO much!

Transiting North Node is conjuncting my natal Venus at the moment, it rules my 6H and sits in the 6H as well.

I'm going to have an EUS done to me on Friday. Hopefully they won't find anything serious; although I've been having abdominal pains and digestive problems for a while now.

I think transiting Saturn has more to do with it than the Nodes, though. It's in my 6H as well and squares my natal Saturn. It's also 2° away from my natal Pluto which co-rules my 6H.

Maybe the NN factor will be supportive and act like a good influence? I hope so at least, haha.

Everything is all right... Well, the doctors say it is, haha.

I still have some tummy aches here and there but it's bearable.

They say it could be related to stress and what not. Maybe.

Anyway, thank you for the concern.

So much for my supposed Sag intellect

It was Mercury Retrograde when I wrote it, and I was feeling a bit muddled at the time.

If anything needs clarifying, please let me know.

Nodes; like charts, are unique unto the person.

You were born really close to a Solar Eclipse in Sag, on the South Node.

This is right on the Great Attractor.
http://www.philipsedgwick.com/Galactic/GreatAttractor.htm

Uranus, Jupiter and the Sun are right there together, Jupiter being strong and Dignified.

So most of your Natal focus is to the past, in the Tenth and Eleventh Houses.

You have a lot of Libra help with this, in the Eighth.

It includes Moon, Venus and Mars, they are your friends.

As I told you, you have the Vertex on Regulus in an Intercepted Sign, Seventh and First House.

So there is a lot of Venus/Mars things going on speaking in a Karmic sense.

I can't remember if I gave you a Timeline, but they list all the Eclipses as a matter of course, if they are affecting you.

Your Venus/Pluto would be the place to look to, that is the Cusp of the Ninth/Eighth.

The Cusp is the most sensitive part of the House, and that is where the Nodes are.

Ninth/Third.

April fifteenth and twenty-ninth are the dates to remember.

This is really interesting. Especially because I was born within days of an eclipse so I really want to start paying attention to those dates and watch the effects after.

Oh, really? That's weird, I didn't get anything.

I spoke too soon though. Turns out I have chronic gastritis.
I have to take some meds first, then get checked again, but I've read that it's pretty much uncurable. Makes me sad. But well, most people have some health issue, right? It could have been worse.

I'm dealing with an extreme tooth ache right now as well. Saturn is being really cruel, lol.

It never went through.

I'm really sorry, Doux. Teeth hurt!
