Those with a chart angle such as ASCENDANT/DESCENDANT/MC/IC
at 29 degrees Leo
or
a natal planet at 29 degrees Leo
could potentially be impacted
by the 21 August 2017 eclipse on REGULUS a powerful fixed star
HOWEVER
keep in mind that
as dr. farr often reminds us
it is the TOTALITY OF INFLUENCES
(including star influences)
upon a planet or other horoscopic point, that COUNTS
it is NEVER just one astrological indication in isolation that "causes" anything
so study the natal promise of the chart
and
important to keep in mind
that the eclipse degree may be activated
by any transiting PLANET
within 6 months to a year
AND
MAY ALSO BE RE-ACTIVATED
BY ECLIPSES
even years later
ECLIPSES on the same or similar degree
recur at intervals
changes indicated may occur to others
- such as friends, co-workers and not solely to family
and
when eclipses affect countries
then the entire population is in some way affected
note that
eclipse events commence a theme when a transiting planet
conjuncts the degree of a forthcoming eclipse
and
since eclipses recur at regular intervals on a particular degree
one may check back over the years
and track recurrent themes of particular eclipses
TRADITIONAL RULES FOR JUDGING ECLIPSES http://www.skyscript.co.uk/eclipserules.html
Amongst those who study Eclipses from an astrological perspective
it is common knowledge from ancient sources
that an eclipse life span is based upon the length of time that the light from the Sun
is temporarily blocked during a Solar Eclipse
OR when a shadow is cast upon the Moon during a Lunar eclipse.
Nasa's Fred Espanek's astronomical data is gathered from numerous eclipses http://www.mreclipse.com/
On these detailed data pages we find important information regarding Eclipse “shadow periods”
and learn that these can last for up to four hours and longer
and
according to ancient sources, the number of hours a Solar Eclipse total “shadow period” lasts
is equal to the length of time in years that its effects can last.
So Eclipse effects may "be triggered" at any time within those years
by any planet transiting/aspecting that particular eclipse degree.
Although Lunar Eclipses are said to have an influence of up to six months
their effects have been observed to last much longer.
Astrologers agree that the prenatal eclipse degree is a “sensitive point” of the natal chart
which rewards careful observation
because the prenatal eclipse degree is potentially “active” for a lifetime
