Mr. Ford's Sun-Mercury -180- Mars (conjunct Antares) reflects a forceful, combative character. And his birth lunations are insightful- 3 days after Rob Ford's birth, there was a Full Moon @ 9.53 Sagittarius conjunct the red, royal star Antares- rival of Mars. And the May 16, 1969 New Moon before his birth fell @ 25.17 Taurus conjunct the malefic star Algol Beta Persei- 'losing one's head'. The transiting South Node (attritional influence) of the Moon is currently 26 Taurus, approaching this New Moon. The degrees of the birth lunations remain sensitive throughout one's life, and can be triggered by transits.

Quotations About Eclipses:

This collection of quotations concentrates on solar eclipses, but a few referring to lunar eclipses are included. Some are from literary sources, while others are predictions and records. I have avoided scientific reports, preferring to include descriptive accounts. The quotations are in chronological order. Dates are generally in the Julian Calendar until 1582, and in the Gregorian Calendar thereafter. Some links are provided to maps of historic eclipses by Fred Espanak, Goddard Space Flight Center.

Yasser Arafat:
The remains of Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat are exhumed in Ramallah so experts can investigate allegations that he was poisoned. And the Nov. 13 solar eclipse at 22 Scorpio fell opposite his natal Moon- ruler of his Ascendant (i.e. his person/body). One's horoscope continues to 'work' even after death. Tomorrows Lunar Eclipse rises in Cairo, where Arafat was born.
