It has long been an astrological belief that the event of a solar eclipse can signify a dramatic (or in some instances traumatic) event that impacts leaders and those in power. This can be brought about through actions of humankind or nature. Given the fact that Pluto continues to reside in Capricorn, the Dark Lord’s role as the harbinger of change through destruction of the old and outmoded order of things will also lend its transformative strength to this cosmic crossing.
It is also important to look at the closest planetary aspect to the solar eclipse. In this case, the Moon being squared to Neptune, whose impending retrograde is already beginning to assert its energies. Mental confusion, distorted communications and impressions, water issues (floods, hurricanes, etc.), gas and mineral issues will all be impacted. Looking at the effect on natural resources that the eclipse itself is bringing, a potential problem with gas or oil could push the financial markets to a critical mass in the days just before and after Memorial Day.
Extremes in emotions are also likely as a result of the Moon/Neptune square with the desire to escape reality being almost irresistible. Trying to determine what is hype and what is real could be a challenge, especially since Mercury,the ever constant Messenger, is the ruler of Gemini and as such, impacted particularly hard by the May 20 event. The effects will be similar to a Mercury retrograde and, combined with the other energies, communication miscues are particularly strong during the last week in May and could lead to some dire situations, both personally and on a world wide scale.
We are being directed to a point where change is coming whether we are ready for it or not. The week of June 4, a scant fortnight hence from this solar eclipse, could be one of the most profound that many of us will ever witness. The true question will be how we chose to face the unfolding of these events. Old philosophies, beliefs, and political structures are susceptible to crumbling.
Perhaps it is a fitting irony that much of the financial turmoil, both in Europe and the rest of the world, seems to be focused on Greece. As the spiritual birth place of the earlier Helios, later identified as Apollo the Sun God, the impending ride of the Sun God in his golden chariot through the land of shadow will leave a trail that we can look back on and say with wonder, “We were there”. This is one solar eclipse that we may well look back on.

Solar Eclipse Forewarns Change
Good info. I’m staying indoors today.
Wow – can’t wait til this all plays out. This doesn’t sound good at all! Hang on to that relationship with everything you’ve got! Lou, you really do write great articles on these types of topics!
All of the other articles out there are BORING compared to this! All they talk about it wear eye protection and where you can or cannot see this eclipse. I am impressed that you took the time to explain what will happen not what we will see, when and where……I’ll be back for more of your articles – keep writing!
I like the way you explain what is actually happening – some of it is over my head because I am not an astrologer, but, for the most part, you really seem to know what you are doing and can explain it to the lesser informed. I hope you will post more on how all of this and keep us (me) posted! Jimmie
Lou’s comments are very much spot-on. Also, adding to the intensity of this point in time, are the usual high number of celebrity deaths that occur during this time of year. However, this May, they seem to be occurring on a daily basis…… especially those in the music field. Lou is absolutely correct in saying that we are being “directed” now……whether we want to be, or not. We all will definitely look back on this eclipse as a unique “crack in time”……that is something so much more than a beautiful astronomical event.
