Solar Eclipse at 15° Virgo, Hasta Nakshatra

An important point when analyzing eclipses and their effects is to understand that, generally, places where the eclipse is visible will see more effects than places where no visibility happens. It is also important to understand that eclipses have long sprawling effects, instead of immediate ones. New Moons and Full Moons affect the weeks around them, indicating monthly trends; Solar Eclipses and Lunar Eclipses affect the months around them, indicating yearly trends. The effects discussed below are things that will tend to happen in the next 6 months.

This Solar Eclipse happens in Hasta nakshatra, a star related to trickery, deception, illusions and schemes. From the get go, this influence signals a time of manipulation and mass deception. Specially as this influence goes along with the previous Lunar Eclipse in September, that also indicated this.

Hasta also deals with technology, specially smartphones, so issues in regards technology and social media could become prominent now too.

Considering the Eclipse path, it is possible that we might see some major events around South America. I would specially highlight Chile.

This Eclipse happens close to Ketu, only 3 degrees away. Most eclipses happen further away from the Lunar Nodes, so this closeness is an interesting factor. As Ketu shows the past, this Eclipse is bringing forth things of the past, old things that need review. So past transgressions, manipulations and lies could be revealed now.

Issues regarding heavy handed measures by those in power can be a focus, as Pluto will be stationary during this Solar Eclipse. Overall, this Eclipse deals with deception past and future. Lies of the past can be revealed and torn down now. But newer deception can similarly arise.
