Annular Eclipse of June 21st 2020

The path of the annular eclipse on the summer solstice of June 21st 2020 passes over some sensitive areas as can be seen in Figure 1.

It passes over Yemen, close to the Straits of Hormuz, near the disputed border area between India and China and on to Taiwan. I've drawn up a chart for Taipei which is interesting. See Figure 2.

Scorpio is rising and the ruler, Mars, is in aspect to the Jupiter-Pluto conjunction, to Uranus and to the fixed stars of Antares and Aldebaran. The conjunction itself is in quincunx to Saturn with both in aspect to the fixed star Regulus. The placement of Mars in Pisces and its proximity to Neptune an element of either deliberate deception or simple confusion to any events that might be precipitated. The involvement of Uranus suggests surprise and a sudden, unexpected turn of events. In the case of Taiwan, Uranus is near the seventh house cusp, suggestive of the involvement of an enemy.

Meanwhile, here in Jakarta, the conjunction of the Sun and Moon (there is no eclipse visible in Jakarta) occurs around 1:41pm and is shown in Figure 3. The very first degree of Scorpio is rising and Jupiter and Pluto are conjunct the IC.

It will be interesting to see what areas, if any, become more active in the days following this eclipse. I'll return to this post in the near future and make note of any events that seem related to the eclipse.
