SPECIAL NOTE

July 11 there will be a total Solar eclipse in Gemini constellation as the Moon crosses in front of the Sun (New Moon) through the ecliptic (the plane created by the earth's path around the Sun ---like a giant vortex).  At this point the Moon blots out the light of the Sun.  The eclipse in Pacific region will begin at 6:15 pm Universal or Greenwich time. 

The Solar event occurs at 25 degrees and 24 minutes Gemini constellation at 7:38 pm (in Arizona).   

The path of the Moon's shadow moves across the South Pacific Ocean where it  will create maximum eclipse over Cook Islands,  Easter Island and several isolated atolls. The path will extend to southern Chile and Argentina.
There will be a partial eclipse visible from a larger region mainly visible from the South Pacific and southern South America. 
The significance of a total solar eclipse is two fold:  one influence is the increase in seismic activities or potential earthquakes and therefore tsunamis in the region where it occurs (e.g. in Southern Pacific region and So. America);  the other influence is in individual astrology charts where it signifies a change in terms of new beginnings. 
Since the lineup of Sun, Moon and North Node occurs in the constellation Gemini, it would affect people with Gemini or Sagittarius rising especially---creating change for Sagittarius rising people in the area of relationship---a new beginning.  For Gemini rising it would affect oneself---as if one reinvents oneself.  For all other signs, it depends which house of Jyotish Gemini constellation constitutes.  Whichever house Gemini represents in a chart will be the area which gets a new start with the Solar eclipse.  The effects then last for at least 6 months.

PLANETARY SANKRANTI --- Points of Transcendence when planets switch constellations
 
Sun shifts signs from Gemini to Cancer on July 17 at 4:48 am.  This indicates a time of greater emotional sensitivity and compassion, individually and collectively.
 
On July 7 Mercury will shift from Gemini to Cancer constellation.  This will favor use of intellect in harmony with feelings.
 
On July 6 Venus will shift from Cancer constellation to Leo constellation.  This will emphasize art being promoted on a national level--or larger organizational level for the sake of society.

Mars moves from Leo constellation to Virgo constellation on July 20th.  At this point it becomes conjunct with Saturn which also is in Virgo.  This creates an energy for solving problems in a specific engineering style.  It also creates a balance between impulsiveness and deliberate organized action.
 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
OTHER PLANETARY POSITIONS
 
Jupiter is in Pisces, its own constellation.  Therefore this year promises to continue being a more expansive year, with spiritual knowledge and teaching coming to the forefront, with a peak of spiritual energy during this time--Summer 2010.  This will be encouraging for financial institutions and businesses and things should improve financially in general.  However, there will be some slowdown after July 23rd when Jupiter goes retrograde.  

Jupiter going retrograde will affect more the people with Sagittarius and Pisces rising signs.  When Jupiter goes retrograde it still will be in its highest spiritual energy in Pisces, but not as expansive as before.  This could slow down financial world a bit since Jupiter represents stock market success, banking industry, teaching industry as well as legal system in general.
 
Saturn being now in Virgo constellation emphasizes the quality of service, problem solving and accountability. For the U.S. chart it brings in a more sober, responsible feeling of eliminating waste, being responsible in individual action as well as being so in one's relationships with other nations.  This will affect Capricorn and Aquarius ascendant persons more.  
 
Rahu continuing in Sagittarius will emphasize expansion of spiritual knowledge and expansion of higher values in society.
 
Ketu being in Gemini will deepen spiritual journeys for everyone.
 
For those with Gemini rising birth signs, Rahu in 7th house brings in need for more space in relationships.
 
For Sagittarius rising signs Rahu in first house makes for more restlessness and opening of crown chakra---while with Ketu in 7th house less attachments in relationships will come up. Less attachment can mean also deeper spiritual connection.

SPECIAL VEDIC HOLIDAYS
 
The Full Moon of this month starting on July 24  and continuing through early am of July 25th is known as Guru Purnimah.  It is the time of the year that one remembers one's spiritual guide or Master.  The fullness of the Moon represents the fullness of Consciousness, of Enlightenment and Wisdom.  If one knows how to do puja/ ceremony to one's spiritual teacher, this is a most auspicious time to do so---as it yields maximum effects.

In Sikh tradition this month celebrates the birthday of Guru Har Govind Singh.  He was the 6th Guru of the Sikh tradition, born in 1595.  Some celebrate his birth as July 5th  and others July 26.  Guru Har Govind Singh succeeded the previous Guru Arjan Sahib when he was only eleven years old.  He carried two swords representing power and devotion.  Under his influence the Sikhs were inspired to do heroic deeds and to be warriors in addition to their spirituality.
