The Solar eclipse on November 25 2011 is at 2º 36’ Sagittarius. It’s closest aspect is Moon quincunx Jupiter and it is on the Fixed star Dschubba in the constellation of Scorpio. The Moon is on Asteroid Fortuna. Looking at the chart the first impression is of a grand trine with a very powerful Mars trine Pluto also, which complements the Scorpionic theme. We have a waning Jupiter trine Pluto aspect also. Put this all together and we get power politics meets religion. I touched on this on the day of the exact trine when I got the image of politicians pillaging the Vatican gold, just like when Nero raided the temples to build a new Rome and Henry the 8th ransacked the monasteries when he became head of the church in England.
Pluto likes to strip things bare, but Jupiter in aspect to Pluto can be great wealth also. Magi astrology regards Jupiter quincunx Pluto to be a millionaire’s aspect. It’s interesting that Magi’s rate (as we do here at Darkstar) the often ignored quincunx. This Eclipse on a Scorpionic star quincunx Jupiter should be saying something about great wealth then. Except, we are in the middle of a recession…
Solar eclipse quincunx Jupiter
Let’s refresh ourselves of the elements of this eclipse. 1st the aspects themselves, Sun quincunx Jupiter “Pushing hard is a way to relieve the tension and this is why these people often appear lucky. However, by putting so much of themselves, their identity on the line, if the scales tip then they can show the Jupiter tendency to excess in a negative way, through guilt or addiction.”
Moon quincunx Jupiter “These people will bounce back again and again. They get through life through the use of a hearty sense of humour. Emotionally extravagant, they over-react in a most dramatic, somewhat camp manner.” In a solar eclipse left-brain thinking is blotted out for a while and intuition takes over. So combine both these aspects and the pushy, excessive solar version of the quincunx gives way to the lunatic humour and the irrepressible quality of the moon quincunx.
This shows to me great hope, enterprise and spirit of the populus, a resolution not to let the bastards grind us down. There is great wealth to be claimed; only this is spiritual gold. This is what has be been buried under the amount of junk (food, gadgets, TV) and distractions (work, internet) of our day to day life. With having some of that taken away, we have come to realise we don’t actually need it. Pluto strips us down, zen like. We are free! Less clutter allows room for jovial spirit to enter. Humour heals.
Asteroid Fortuna
I found Asteroid Fortuna to be about how we view our fate and how lucky do we think we are. Fortuna is associated with the expression “what goes round comes round”. So she reminds us that when we are at our lowest the only way is up. At the moment of course we are being told that the world is falling into depression. Psychologically how is this affecting us? Are be going to let this effect how lucky we think we are? The stock markets are so very Jupiter, they function on how optimistic we feel from day today
Personally I’m hoping that Asteroid Fortuna will take care of a few things…as I said in my Asteroid Fortuna post “For the Romans, chance events and Fortuna were connected with Virtue, so that immoral individuals would invite bad fortune and virtuous persons would be rewarded with good fortune.” This eclipse has the feel of the “Day of Judgement” about it. It’s interesting that her father Jupiter, the gambler has such an influence over this Eclipse. Life seems like it’s playing a game of Russian roulette with us right now.
Solar Eclipse on Fixed Star Dschubba
This star featured in my post about Psychopath Astrology as what I termed a psycho star. The June lunar eclipse 2011 was on Lesath, the number one psycho star! Where that eclipse dealt with removing poisons from our body, this one could be about removing toxic people worldwide. The top psycho star scorers were (not surprisingly perhaps) all in the constellation Scorpio, BUT wait! These scorpio-psycho stars are all placed in tropical Sagittarius, a sign generally regarded as benevolent, philosophical, jovial, pious and pretty harmless.
So we get the strange blending of two consecutive zodiac signs and archetypes Scorpio-Pluto and Sagittarius-Jupiter. This combination is describing the transition from 8th house secrecy to 9th house transparency, the bright scorching light of Jupiter burning away the masks. One thing Pluto and Jupiter share is extremism, which makes me think of fundamentalist religions and fanatics. These type of people we often label as being psychopaths, which brings us back to Dschubba.
Dschubba is found on the forehead of the Scorpion at 2º 34’ Sagittarius. At its best “Anyone with this star strong in their horoscope is likely to show a patient and wary approach to any situation, but this will belie the skilled determination which will then be brought to bear. Scorpio is famous for the surgeons born in it and this star shows up just the qualities which they need to have. The same applies to generals, policemen, private investigators and secret service agents, many of whom have this star well placed and aspected.” [1], but at its worst “It causes sudden assaults, malevolence, immorality and shamelessness.” [2] So in a lesser vehicle, the skilful use of the blade and/or weapon, and the cool and calculated planning would be put to darker uses, hence it’s appearance in the chart of the psychopath.
Eclipse tarot – 8 of Swords
In the celestial tarot this card is Canis Major, the larger of the two hunting dogs of Orion which includes the brightest star in the sky, Sirius. Who is this reminding us of, the big fat shining god of gods Jupiter? The Egyptians also associated Anubus, their guide to the Underworld with Sirius. So we get the hunting hound and underworld guardian in this card, which is still describing the transition from Pluto to Jupiter. Sirius signals the heat of the “Dog days”, which we are obviously in right now. The heat is on, there is nowhere to hide. The card its self is about self exploration, and the realisation that one has been guarding an unconscious position which can be reversed once it is made conscious.

Yes, Neptune and pluto. Last nite my dreams had a well dressed group dancing but someone threw out a really hurtful put down and otherwise lessons that were downers. Perhaps the abusive side of pluto.One phrase was about “MONEY” but Little Else.
Also do you all know of a site called Worldwide Tipping Point? Today they have a spiritual speaker on finances called David Martin. I have not listened to it yet. You can MP3 them at any time. Thanks for the heads up about scams and charming people. uh humm.
I just came across a similiar take on this neptune sextile pluto as this:
Your inner psych and vulnerabilities are open to you now, almost as if in a waking dream. A renewed interest in exploring the realm of dreams and imagination finds you getting to the heart of your secrets and sensitive area’s. Seems to resonate.
Wow Charyl… my whole family has been having very active and odd dreaming, we all seem to be getting to the heart of what we need to be looking at right now, not bad dreams, just rich symbolism, swiming in the Neptunian sea perhaps?
Yes, Kjerstin, Neptune in Aq. is opposing my Prog.Jupiter in Leo and I seem to make one misjudgement after another of late. But I am trying to use the 5th eye and get the bigger picture through several sites such as Worldwide Tipping Pt. so I appreciate your bigger pictures. thanks.
you are welcome Charyl. When I am in it thick it helps to know I am not the only one. The dreams have been odd to the point of becoming humbling as they point out what is really important (and I do not have the Neptune-Jupiter opposition that you are dealing with). I have been relying on my dream symbolism book by Mary Summer Rain quite a lot… getting the message moves me on to the next odd chapter in the dreams at least.
Oppositions create confrontation and conflict. Yes, polarity, pulling apart, separating. Conflict may seem to come from the outside world rather than within. Reconciliation requires balancing this seesaw effect where each planet takes it’s turn being up or down or one planet may completely dominate the other. Actually that’s exactly the concern I have with my mom in a care home on too much drugs of late. It seems it leaves her vulnerable to domination.
But my dream shows me being blamed (jupiter)and taking action to balance the pon pon’s which I’m thinking might be the Pon’s of the neck as my neck cracks all the time -yoga balance – channel kundalini etc and then seeing the radiant dove (spirit?)so out of it all maybe one gets something worth all the pain and suffering and conflict.You into Kundalini at all?
It’s kind of like trying to protect the fat kid in first grade only to become the group’s next victum. Poor ol neptune then cries at being blamed. lol
Interesting on the scams coming up. I found ‘inspiration’ combined with that ‘knife’s edge. Thinking about the fact that Christopher Columbus was inspired by Marco Polo, both born within a month of this eclipse cycle. the knifes edge comes in with C. Columbus in that he got inspired to go exploring, got lost and found the Americas, the knife’s edge and scam was to the Native Americans (or people of the First Nations) in that C. Columbus wrote in his journal about how gracious and civilized the ‘indians’ were (remember he though he found an uncharted part of India) and he states in the very next sentence that he thougght’ We could easily subdue them to slavery’ From the perspective of the Native Americans C. columbus was a scam artist big time!
and sorry to hear of your troubles Michelle and Uberqueen
hey,
march 29, 1986 birth. Born 9.30 pm. Sun in aries (8 degrees), moon and ascendent in scorpio.
Things not going well, heard some disappointing news on the 29th of nov. Any idea whats going on and what more can be expected?
@ Paul, you might want to see the New article here on Darkstar about the Mercury Retrograde – it mentions some things about November 29th that you may find useful.
Hi Charyl
The last page is full of comments so I could not reply to you there.. I am laughing at your concept of Neptune… *enojying that one*
I guess I could say I am into Kundalini etc. I am a Reiki Master so it is simply a part of the energy work – I used to think that it just happened in it’s own time for people, now with Marina’s look at the Kindalini and the Dark Goddesses – especially Lilith – I am revisting my views on it. The first reiki treatment where the kindalini activated for someone was years ago and it came as quate a surprise to both myself and the woman recieving the treatment. Ever since that time I recognize the signs now. Really powerful experience all around whwver it does occur. One thing I can mention about the Kundalini experience is that it is very intense and primal almost and it comes in like gangbusters… Pairing this particular solar eclipse energy with that would be quite intense I suspect.
Anyway – I think your question was if I understood what you are talking about and I definately do!
Kundalini is a very intense energy, be careful with it. Especially if you are wanting to channel it around this “psychotic” star.
Exactly. I had a teacher once who had raised it too soon and it did not return ton the base. She ended up in a mental hospital for 6 months. She did recover. However, an old friend of mine raised kundalini and when it returned it went down into a lower chakra. This was about 35 years ago. He never recovered and spent most of his adult life in a mental hospital.
Yikes Uberqueen and Tanya
This emphasizes why I never tell anyone to seek the Kundalini activation, rather I encourage them to do the meditations and other work that will ‘allow’ the proper environment for it to activate and do not push… In my own training days I have been well aware of people who have sought this as a method to achieve power and seen some pretty awful results. I have also seen people try and try and try with absolutely no results to move that energy. Because of this I have always believed that the Kundalini works in its own cosmic timing. Every person I have known who has had a Kundalini experience has had it happen not because they willed it to be but because they were ready. I have never once done energy work on anyone with the purpose of messing with the Kundalini, it has just happened from time to time and has been an interesting experience.
@Tanya, I do not fear the Kundalini, itself, only that it brings the body into such a physical resonance, it is very much like asking a bell to sustain an intense note. If the bell is made of a substance that is clear of impurities the resonance can be sustained, no problem. it is when the bell has a weak point that it can fracture from the energy of the sustained tone. This is very much what we ask of the physical body/soul when we do any energy work. Even when a person really is ready, the raising of the personal resonant energies can bring on what is called a ‘Healing Reaction’ after an energy atunement in Reiki, Qigong, or any other alternative practice, it is not at all uncommon for a person to feel flu-like, or to revisit emotional issues that have haunted their life in order to allow the low frequencies to release. For this reason, anyone working such resonant changes needs to work closely with someone who is a master of the discipline. This is not to say ‘an expert’ rather to say someone wise in the ways of this significant change to the body. I have already had the Kundalini experience and have no intention whatsoever of purposely attempting this for anyone else only that I am open to facilitate when these things arise. When it is meant to happen it just does. of all the individuals I have treated via Reiki only about 8% of them have had a Kundalini experience. I can neither start nor stop the process, only facilitate when it does happen.
Marina’s work on the astrology correlations gives me reason to look at charts for some of these individuals to see the correlations that are there. It is the astrology of these individuals that I am thinking of revisiting, my opinion that the Kundalini does what the Kundalini wants remains the same.
@Marina I am especially curious to see if people always have a Kundalini experience when things line up for them cosmically or if that time can pass them by if they are not ready for it? This would be a deeper look I know but I am curious nonetheless. (plus it could take time to find data on this so it is just something I am pondering in my mind)
Thanks for a great article!
Thanks for the great comments Uberqueen and Tanya!
Love
Kjerstin
This eclipse is part of the 14 North Saros Cycle.
“A most peculiar eclipse family, heralding an acute time of confusion in personal relationships, unexpected happenings in financial matters, and possible illness. Unrequited love, despair, confusion, a draining of energy, a peculiar turn of events. No important decisions should be made concerning incoming events as there is too much confusion and possible delusion to make clear judgements.”
When do the effects of this eclipse end?
@Nate all of your comments applied too me! Less so now but acutely then.
I’ve heard an eclipse generally last 6 mths.
Yes it does. This will last until the May 20th Solar Eclipse which will be roughly opposite this eclipse at 00 degs Gemini. I’m hoping it will turn things round for the better, especially since the last one was on my south node and the coming one will be on my north Node. Moving forward!
We have found that the effects of the eclipses often give a final aftershock type of effect just before the new one is birthed. So maybe a week or so before the May one, say around the 10th bear this in mind. I’d be interested to see if anyone experiences any recurrence of this eclipses issues.
Nate thanks for that. Is this from Bernadette Bradys “Eagle and the Lark”? I think I was desperately trying to find a positive side this eclipse because I really don’t like to spread negativety and I think there is always hope and a need to turn things round to a positive. But I must admit ofcourse with Jamies illness this one has been really harsh for me. This one was on our Davison Moon!
Dschubba “is famous for the surgeons born in it and this star shows up just the qualities which they need to have.”….. but at its worst “It causes sudden assaults, malevolence, immorality and shamelessness.” So in a lesser vehicle, the skilful use of the blade and/or weapon, and the cool and calculated planning would be put to darker uses, hence it’s appearance in the chart of the psychopath”.
I can see now how “the use of the blade” was in fact for Jamie’s surgery, but yes there are two sides to this and when you look at the Saros interpretation along with mine together you can see this is a tough one indeed. We certainly had the despair, the draining of energy, illness, confusion and the peculiar turn of events when Jamie had to cancel his trip to the Uk and I went to him instead.
Wow Marina, that paragraph is really powerful.
Yes, it is from Bernadette Brady’s “Eagle and the Lark”. What an intense eclipse this has been. This Saros series was really activated for me by the March full moon. Me and my ex girlfriend were taking a break. Then she came to see me. Just as everything seemed to be well I got sick out of nowhere. And Bam! We were spending more time apart. This was an intense sickness for me. I rarely get sick and the last time was on the June solar eclipse. I was in really bad shape. The time apart gave her perspective, and she realized she didn’t want to be in the relationship anymore. She has tr. saturn opposing venus, squaring our davison venus. & tr. uranus trine descendant, leaving a conjunction with the ruler or her 5th). A week after I got better she told me about this. We broke up on the day Jamie was getting surgery.
I had realized before this that she wasn’t everything I wanted. But thought I was setting my standards too high. I cared about her and there were a lot of good things about our relationship. Turns out she wanted to be on her own. It seems like I experienced the energy in my body before I experienced it in my life. While I think toxin would be to harsh of a word, we were both holding the other back. It seems the energy from that the march full and new moons served as a real catalyst.
Yes, I think it’s hit me too – that Dschubba. The loss of tempers resulted in a brutal moment for me. It was a turnaround as previous it seemed we all were learning to cope and trust each other. A real loss.
Marina seeing as your about and you mentioning your nodes. I was wondering if you could comment on my birthday chart. It has venus in gemini conj. the SN 9th, and NN conj. Juno. My dad, my girlfriend of many years both had this placement which I understand will last a few months now. My girlfriend is of the White Eagle group, tolerant and knowledgable of astrology. My dad was socialist and NDP. But both are duality I would think and I have knowledge now of non duality. Would that be why? What’s Juno about, marriage? equal others? I have the Asteroid Goddesses Book but I would appreciate your comment.
Hi Charyl,
Lunar PLannr has a ncie bit on Juno – covenant relationships. http://www.lunarplanner.com/asteroids-main/index.html
thanks I’m on my way.
By placement I mean venus in gemini.
Oh ka Juno: Grace Kelly comes to mind, “For you and I have a guardian angel on high with nothing to do but to give to you and to give to me _ true love, true love and on and on it must alwys be love forever more.”
But those ISSUES, they ring strongly as things that have surfaced alot. Some lines I like are:
There is an acceptance of another’s truth or opinion without need to challenge or debate.
Juno specifically is involved with drawing our true soul-mates or twin-hearts–those truly compatible.
Once a certain level of clarity is attained within self regarding the asteroid issues, true soul level covenant relations begin to show up.
Oh well a positive outcome here at some point. So great now what about that SN gemini venus? How does that go. I know it, I’ve experienced it and now it’s part of what I don’t need anymore?
@Marina, I feel it’s been 2 steps forward and 1 back. Which is progress of sorts but awfully slow. Especially health-wise for me personally. That plus Pluto retro and Mars retro into the mix. My solar return was all about 6th house which seems to have completely lack of service and all about health, I sympathise with Jamie and the gut/bowel issue as similar shit here without, thankfully, an op.
Ridiculously I have fallen over twice in 2 months, first on hard stone which bruised me greatly, then in the garden on soft soil. Hopefully I will get my balance and Mars moving it’s Ass-pedestera forward tomorrow can only help! Financially too I hope! So exasperation factor high.
Blessings all
Kaz: I fell fracturing my elbow at xmas taking the garbage out, slipped in water in the parking area and twice more nearly. Once because my foot was sideways on narrow stairs and once because of a pothole in the sidewalk and my head in the clouds.Oddly I havn’t been moving any bowels no matter what remedy’s I take for a couple months now. I think Virgo’s mars is on the pt ruling the rectum. Swollen bowels doesn’t help. I’m fed up and soon ready to take my birthday year and find some new directions through juno in Sagg..(direction?)conj. my NN. I do feel I’m moving into my adult mind 68, and the wisdom years when it all comes into focus easier.I wonder what Marina has to say about it.
