'We now enter the final chapters of the cardinal crisis. Four of the five outer planets have transited the solstice and equinoctial points this past summer. It is now time for the lunar nodes to cross these same points. We now begin a period where the World Axis will be forced open, ejecting its inner contents and forcing all the world to become aware of the loss. This is because an eclipse is essentially a rip in the fabric of time.

The lunar eclipse on June 26 and the powerful cardinal cross configuration brings to light issues around power, corruption and the neglect of our most basic human values. We now have the opportunity to balance corporation with community and to bridge the gap between the material and the spiritual.

China faced Uighur unrest on Sunday, July 5th 2009. In the city of Urumqi (Urumchi) in the province of Xinjiang, northwestern China, violence broke out. The unrest led to the deaths of 156 people; 800 people were injured. The conflict has dimensions that are political, ethnic and religious. Timing of this sudden eruption comes in the background of the Triple Eclipses of July August 2009. We analyze the astrological aspect.

An eclipse is when one of the main “lights”, the Sun or Moon, are temporarily blotted out from our sight by a very close alignment with the Earth.  This is like a symbolic dark night of the soul,darkcloset whereby some sort of crisis produces a necessary change in the psyche of an individual.  If you’ve ever been thrown into closet, you know the feeling: initial panic followed by dawning re-orientation as your pupils dilate sufficiently.
