Solar Eclipse – 20th March 2015 – Full Astronomy & Astrology data

People get excited about Eclipses – only when they can actually see them!  Otherwise these wonderful stellar Events just pass many people by – it just happens `somewhere else’ (ie visible in another part of the world, but not where `you’ live). But for astronomers & astrologers, no matter where they are and where the actual eclipses are visible from- it’s always of great interest and importance.  And me?  I am both an amateur astronomer and a full on astrologer. Here in England, it’s hard to plan observing one (safety in mind!) because of unexpected clouds and rain..but i have always marked them on my diary and always taken the opportunity to do personal spiritual & magical work.   (I wrote a book some years ago, called `Eclipse Magic Workbook’ it’s on kindle for sale and on my own websites! See links below)

I see that the internet and social media is beginning to saturate already .with lovely *fantasmagraphical..graphics and such.  So many of them are so very inaccurate. Astronomers would cringe..and erm..so would astrologers.

So as usual, I have spent a great deal of time either creating or compiling the useful data for the upcoming Solar Eclipse of 20th Match 2015.  It’s visible from UK (over 90%).

Here are all the useful stuff

Astrology / Planetary chart for Solar Eclipse 20th March 2015 

This is drawn for exactly 9.45am Universal Time (pretty much same as GMT)..and uses just sun signs only (no house positions shown as that depends on geography). But for those interested, if a Placidus chart is drawn for this event, using coordinates of where greatest Eclipse is visible (Lat 64′ N;  Long 6’W), then Ascendant is in Cancer, and Midheaven is in Aquarius).
