Christmas and New Years 2001 Eclipsed
(December 5,2001) The first day of Winter 2001 on December 21 falls right in between a New and Full Moon eclipse phase. If you think this is going to be a relaxing Christmas, you are out of luck. I am particularly concerned about the potential for explosive energy the end of December and first week in January 2002.

In December 2001, the world will experience the last set of eclipses for the year. The New Moon eclipse on December 14 leaves it's footprints on the Americas (see maps). So, what does this mean? The path of the New Moon eclipse is revealing for areas in the world that are due for change. This eclipse will force changes on our government and it’s structure. For example, last year’s New Moon eclipse on December 25, 2000 fell over the Americas (see maps). Look at the changes that have occurred for the Americas since last December. Canada, Mexico, and the U.S. all have new Presidents, new governments and new leadership. The Americas have been involved with developing trade agreements -- NAFTA. The U.S. wants to lift the ABM treaty. Castro wants trade sanctions lifted for Cuba so they can trade. The United States experienced 9.11. We are now vulnerable to violent acts of terrorism, biological and chemical warfare. This has directly effected our economy. A domino effect well thought out by the terrorists. The changes over the last year for the Americas has been substantial.

Now, astrologers brace for yet another eclipse path over the Americas. What changes can we expect next? What will we be saying a year from now? The astrological indication is that things will not be the same. ‘Normal’ will continue to change.

Whereas the energy from a New Moon eclipse lasts years, the energy from a Full Moon eclipse lasts for about three months. President Bush's birthday and the birthday of our nation fell very close to a Full Moon eclipse which happened July 5, 2001. This was a key sign that difficulty was just around the corner for U.S. The 9.11 attacks occurred just two months after the full moon eclipse July 5, 2001. In other words, the attacks occurred within three months of the full moon eclipse. So, in all honesty, it is fair to say that as we celebrate the New Year with a Full Moon eclipse, the potential for terrorism, difficult changes and Holy Wars continues through Winter 2001.
