ECLIPSE DECEMBER 10, 2011

OPPOSITE THE MOON IS THE BORDER AREA OF THE 12th House and The Ascedant whicch itself is the line that starts The 1st House; the Moon moving into the 6th House from the 7th, setting in the western sky in the constellation of Gemini; the Sun rise marking CONJUNCT  with this Ascendant moment rises in the eastern sky in the constelation 
Sagittarius; the Ascendant is called also a Sagittarius Rising  .

FOG, CLOUD, SMOKE; ECLIPSE AND THE FOREST

THIS IS NOT A LUNAR ECLIPSE IMAGE.... or is it.


ALSO A FAIR EXCERTED PORTION OF THE DISSEMINATING MOON
FROM ASTRO.COM  LINKED

Consider the Disseminating Moon, which appears three to four days after the Moon is full. Says lunation expert Dane Rudhyar of this phase, "Form, revealed in a moment of lucid perception at the 'Full Moon' ... gradually releases its meaning (or significance) as the Moon decreases in light. The waning period of the lunation is thus a period of growth for the active power of consciousness. Consciousness, once it is formulated, can be shared with others, and thus can actively affect and transform others."[1]

In the Disseminating phase we work our magic with consciousness, with the power of meaning. After receiving our Full Moon revelation, we absorb its significance and send it out at this phase, affecting the world, transforming ourselves. Like magic! But maybe this explanation isn't sparkly enough for the inner innocent...

The 12th House- Beyond the Personal
This house represents those spheres of life which go beyond the individual personality. The boundaries between the conscious and the unconscious dissolve, as well as the boundaries between human beings. This is the house of dreams and the yearning for unity.

7th House (Descendant) - Relating
The descendant sign and planets occupying the seventh house tell us about how we select our partners and describes the partnerships and relationships we seek. Often we are involuntarily attracted to people whose horoscopes carry a strong emphasis of the sign in our seventh house.

6th House - Work and Routine
The sixth house describes the circumstances surrounding us in our daily lives, including the work environment and daily routine. This includes our behavior towards subordinates. Bodily hygiene and care also belong here, as well as health consciousness.

Rising Sign
The Ascendant in your horoscope indicates the ways in which you interact with the world around you, the energies you put out and the energies you receive from others. It is very important to realize that any behavior pattern that you constantly experience with others is a reflection of some part of yourself that you are unaware of.
The sign of the Ascendant is as important as the Sun sign, and its effects are often more obvious to other people. Each sign has its own potential strengths, which you should develop, and weaknesses, which you should minimize.

1st House (Ascendant) - Individual Personality
The first house follows the Ascendant (anti-clockwise), and is therefore closely related to its meaning. It tells us a lot about our personality, temperament and constitution. It typifies our immediate, instinctive reaction and shows us how we present ourselves to the world.

Sagittarius Rising  
You are a very open and outgoing person, quite frank and honest; in fact, you may be blunt to the point of indiscretion. But people who are hurt by the frankness of your remarks feel better when they realize that you really do not intend any harm.
You have a great deal of energy, and you enjoy freedom very much. If you can't direct your own life as much as you want, you feel trapped.
You are likely to be interested in sports and outdoor activities.

A SPECIAL SEQUENCE I ADD HERE TO NOTE A LESS COMMON ASTROLOGY TYPE USING ALSO A 13TH ZODIAC WHICH WOULD BE CONCIDERED PART OF THIS ECLIPSE IN CALENDAR PLACEMENT.

Ophiuchus - the 13th Sign of the Zodiac?

by Dieter Koch

One must never equate Sun signs with fixed star constellations.

Every few years we hear the same old news from critics of astrology, mostly astronomers and physicists who know nothing about astrology.
They argue that the signs of the zodiac used by astrologers do not correspond to the actual constellations of stars on the sky. They say that the real star constellations have been shifting relative to the astrological signs by nearly one month in the course of the last 2000 years. They explain this with the so-called precession of the equinoxes.
In addition, they claim that astrologers suppress a 13th constellation, the Serpent Bearer (Ophiuchus), despite the fact that the Sun passes each year through this constellation.
These statements are true in a certain sense. But they are based on naïve and incorrect assumptions about the essence and history of astrology, and therefore they miss the target. Those who argue against astrology that way may well understand a bit about astronomy. But they are incompetent regarding astrology and have not done their homework. They speak in the media about something they have never studied.

Ptolemy was fully aware of precession

Already in the second century C.E. the astrologer and astronomer Ptolemy was fully aware of precession and the issues mentioned above. He knew that the equinoctial points were slowly shifting in relations to the star constellations – by about 1° in the course of a human life span of 72 years (Ptolemy, Almagest VII.2.f). Still, he decided to give up star constellations and to let the zodiac begin with 0° Aries at the spring equinoctial point (Ptolemy, Tetrabiblos 1.10f). Why? He did this in the opinions that the actual constellations of fixed stars were not relevant for astrology, that the sun signs should be fixed at the cardinal points of the Sun's annual path. Aries begins at the spring equinox, Cancer at the summer solstice, Libra at the autumn equinox and Capricorn at the winter solstice.
Ptolemy's decision was only logical because astrologers had always considered sun signs to be related to the seasons. In ancient Mesopotamia around 2000 B.C.E. the appearance of the Libra stars immediately before sunrise in fitting symbolism indicated the autumn equinox (as documented by cuneiform text Mul.apin I iii 1-2). 1000 years later, when this rule did not work anymore due to the shifting of the equinoxes by precession, the beginning of autumn was redefined as the entry of the Sun into Libra.

Sun signs vers. fixed star constellations

Modern astrology has remained true to this old tradition. It does not consider constellations of the fixed stars, but divides the zodiac in correspondence to the cardinal points of the seasons. The actual star constellations in the sky are astrologically irrelevant. One must never equate Sun signs (signs of the zodiac) with fixed star constellations. Fixed star constellations are configurations of stars visible in the sky, sun signs however cannot be seen in the sky. They are mathematical divisions of the annual path of the Sun in the sky, of precisely 30° size for each of the 12 parts.
If astronomers claim that astrology cannot be true because it does not use the actual star constellations, they claim this in the mistaken belief that astrologers have forgotten where the fixed star constellations are. In fact, every astrologer knows they are different from the astrological zodiac signs. The historical truth few are concerned with lies in the fact that the fixed star constellations received their names from the seasons and from the annual rhythm of the Sun's movement, not the other way around. Where the constellations are found nowadays in the sky is simply irrelevant. The astrologer is only interested in the sun signs, based on the seasons.
Now what about Ophiuchus, the Serpent Bearer? Because this is also – only – a fixed star constellation, it has no astrological relevance. The Sun passes through it nowadays between 29 november and 17 december, which falls into the astrological sign of Sagittarius.
