The eclipse occurs at 1°53' Virgo, in conjunction with the Fixed Star Megrez in the constellation of Ursa Major, the Great Bear. This star is a star of Mars, so is passionate and driven. It symbolises spiritual sight; creativity and violence. It is also known as Atri, who was one of the seven Rishis (Hindu sages), the ruling star of the Great Bear, Ursa Major. The Great Bear gives a quiet, prudent, suspicious, mistrustful, self-controlled, patient nature, but an uneasy spirit and great anger when roused.. By the Kabalists it is associated with the Hebrew letter Zain and the 7th Tarot Trump, "The Chariot". The energies of the Chariot give great impetus in one's direction and also tend to reduce any surrounding negative effects.

This is so weird. My nickname is megz (pretty close ) and the great bear is supposed to be THE major strength/protector in my chart (sol chart, 60th harmonic for any who've read about it).

ALSO, my 30th birthday is the 22nd feb.

Been feeling this will be an important time in my life (beginning with the lunar eclipse on feb 6).
Hmm, just have to wait and see but I'm feeling my strength amping up (maybe its just mars about to go over my natal jupiter in the 1st once again!) merc goes direct just before this eclipse so I SHOULD emerge all guns blazing!

Yay for me, lol!

There was self-interest in finding this info as the eclipse falls near my M.C.
