If you're a subscriber to the site's newsletter, you know that the recent issue presented a test. It gave combinations which you had to match with delineations. It proved very popular (and everyone who contacted me did very well and got them all right.) So I thought it would be fun to repeat that kind of exercise here using midpoint combinations to the axis of the approaching solar eclipse. In this case, that means that these combinations = either @ 20 degrees Mutable or 05 * of a Fixed sign. Now, because the last quiz seemed too easy, here, there can be more than one delineation phrase that applies to a combination. What I hope will prove interesting is knowing that these combination factors are helping to describe some of the character of the eclipse. And these descriptions can be shown to you through public events or in the lives of folks whose charts are getting "touched" by the eclipse. In my view, eclipses begin to stage events designed to force insights about the past and change about the time the transiting Sun makes its applying square to the eclipse degree, so the following should already be evident.
Let me know how you do. I won't be giving the answers but you can email and ask if you really get stuck!
Remember that a combination can and sometimes will be right for more than one interpretation phrase. (The degree notation following a combination stands for the position of the midpoint at the Solar Eclipse.) The Lunar Eclipse delineation & midpoints are covered in the September issue of the print newsletter, "Tools of the Trade."
A _____ Zeus/Libitina 05 Leo 10
B _____ Asclepius/Sphinx, Rx 05 Leo 13
C _____ Astraea/Grieve 05 Leo 32
D _____ Nemesis/Psyche 05 Leo 54
E _____ Kronos/Saturn 19 Virgo 45
F _____ Odysseus/Poseidon 05 Scorpio 02
G _____ Hygiea/Pluto, Rx 05 Scorpio 26
H _____ Mercury/Atlantis 05 Scorpio 56
I _____ Pluto, Rx/Bacchus 20 Sagittarius 01
J _____ Panacea/Neptune, Rx 20 Sag 18
K _____ Zeus/Tisiphone, Rx 20 Sag 38
Okay-- now, your mission is to fill in the blanks with the numbers of the delineations that would be right for those combinations of energies!
