There will be a partial lunar eclipse on 19 November 2021. It will be visible in east Asia, Australia, the Pacific, and the Americas. The full eclipse begins at 06:02UT and lasts until 12:03UT. Maximum eclipse (Moon opposing Sun) takes place at 09:03UT. The total duration of the eclipse is 6 hours 2 minutes and the duration of the partial eclipse is 3:28 minutes.
The eclipse belongs to Saros 126 and is number 45 of 70 eclipses in the series.
The map below shows the visibility of the eclipse:
The chart below, cast for London, shows the event in astrological terms:
The eclipsed Moon will be in 27* 17’ Taurus. As this is the third decanate of Taurus, we learn from William Lilly’s Annus Tenebrosus, published in 1652, that:
“ … it implies a plague amongst creeping noxious Creatures; as also amongst Rats and Mice, and such vermin as though must devour the Country-mans grain or Corn”
Decan Ruler is Saturn and the Moon is also in the Terms of Mars – in other words, both Malefics are eclipse rulers, which is kind of self-explanatory. But due to her rulership over Taurus, Venus is also eclipse ruler, which may bring some relief, as well as the fact that the Moon is essentially dignified by Exaltation. This suggests strong levels of resilience in the population and also a heightened urge to collectively moving forward.
What also springs to mind is the fact that the eclipsed Moon is conjunct fixed star Algol, the Demon star. According to Robson, in the legend, Algol represents the head of the Gorgon Medusa who was slain by Perseus. Medusa, who was the only mortal one of the three Gorgon sisters, was originally a beautiful maiden, but her hair was changed into hissing serpents by Minerva in consequence of her having become by Neptune the mother of Chrysaor and Pegasus in one of Minerva’s temples. This gave her so fearful an appearance that everyone who looked at her was changed into stone.
According to Diana Rosenberg, Algol:
“… marks great tragedies, the sort of events in which many die or are killed brutally, and there seems to be a connection to animals”.
But she also writes that:
“… the strong sword arm of Perseus, the Hero or Rescuer is here, protecting the innocent from evil-doers”.
It is also said that if fixed star Algol is in conjunction with the Moon, this indicates a violent death or extreme sickness.
From the perspective of mundane astrology, Algol is also connected with explosions and fires, eruptions, earthquakes and storms.
*In 1790, a solar eclipse (Sun conjunct Moon) was aligned with Algol; soon after the French Revolution began and a plague killed 80,000 in Egypt.
*In 1855, a solar eclipse took place during the Crimean War’s Siege of Sevastopol, causing great hardships that led to Florence Nightingale’s famous mission.
*Algol was on the IC when the Titanic sank.
*Algol was rising when the Massacre of the Huguenots took place, on Bartholomew’s Eve, 1772.
Traditionally, according to astrologers Lilly, Partridge and Dariot, Taurus has rulership over Russia, and we can see from the map below that the Sun (MC)/Moon (IC) axis is very close to Moscow, making it likely that after the event of the eclipse, Russia is likely to be in the headlines. It may also be of interest to watch how events unfold in China as the line of angularity is also close to Bejing.
I have to point it out though, that on a personal level, an eclipse usually affects only a small number of people. To establish the possibility of any effect to take place, the birth chart should be scrutinized for any of the following:
*Moon is in or around 27 Taurus
*Moon is in or around 27 Scorpio (opposition)
*27 Taurus is culminating in the birth chart (conjunct Midheaven)
*27 Taurus is ascending in the birth chart (conjunct Ascendant)
Should it be the case that one or even more of these factors apply, an in-depth reading of the birth chart may be necessary to find out if, how and to what extent the native could be affected.
