Have you read thru this thread to see what kind of house activity you may experience?? http://www.linda-goodman.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/010144.html

The only thing that I can draw from the info that I have read is that eclipses are dramatic and are very stressful (and this will impact on things that are associated with the house that the eclipse occurs in). I guess this must apply somehow to your friend; must add a stressor to where the eclipse occurrred.

I would also say that I am not an experienced astrologer so the above might be wrong and yes, I find my chart incredibly hard to do as I have no objectivity to it.

I’m far from an expert interpreter, but I’d say you have a full day ahead of you!! All your Angular houses will be getting tickled (or bombed, as the case may be). Bob Marks says, “Houses numbered 1, 4, 7, and 10 are the Action houses. They are the most important houses in any horoscope because they show how you make contact with reality, how you deal with the "here and now". Your Asc and Dsc will be affected (as are mine) along with those 4 planets, how about your IC/MC axis??

Actually, I thought I’d just hide under my bed on Friday, want to join me?? My Pisces Moon is at 26, square nJupiter at 26 Gem and quincunx nSun at 26 Libra, so I’m several hours away from direct contact with the Eclipse like you, although I’m sure I will experience **something**!! My Asc and Dsc are also quincunx the New Moon/Eclipse, at 29 degrees Leo/Aqua. My NN at 29 Cap will be trine the New Moon. But I plan to have a lovely day anyway, and I’m looking forward to whatever changes are on deck!! The Eclipse will happen first thing in the morning where I am, so I’ll only be half-awake anyway….. The New Moon is New Beginnings, and I could use some new beginnings right now in several facets of my life. And any break from tPluto’s assault on my Moon/Jupiter is appreciated.

Char, I think that the way we perceive this event makes all the difference in the world. Knowledge is power. We know what parts of our lives may be affected (the planets/signs in the houses being aspected), yet we don’t know the nature of the effect (at least I don’t) yet. I choose to remain optimistic. And I’m the audacious sort, so new beginnings and new adventures are exciting for me – although I know they can be worrisome for more fixed personalities.
