The total solar eclipse on March 9, 2016 occurs at 18 degrees of the zodiac sign Pisces. It can be observed, at least in partial phases: in South and Southeast Asia, in the northern and eastern parts of Australia, in the east Indian Ocean, in the northern and central Pacific Ocean. The full phase is available for observation in Malaysia and the Indonesian islands: Sumatra, Borneo, Sulawesi. In most of Russia, a solar eclipse will not be visible, this celestial phenomenon will not be visible, with the exception of regions Far East(Kamchatka, Sakhalin, Primorsky Krai), where particular phases are available for observation.
Maximum phase: March 9 at 01:59 UTC or 04:59 Moscow time. The total phase of the eclipse lasts 4 minutes 9 seconds.
Impact of the solar eclipse March 9, 2016
Most sensitive to influence solar eclipse There will be representatives of the sign of Pisces and other mutable signs of the Zodiac: Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius. If in your natal chart the personal planets and important points of the natal chart (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Ascendant, MC) are located from the 13th to 23rd degrees of mutable signs, it will also have a great impact.
A solar eclipse heralds the arrival of the new and gives rise to change. The nature of the changes is determined for each person individually, depending on the individual horoscope.
The meaning of an eclipse from an astrological point of view
A solar eclipse is total, i.e. The Moon's shadow completely covers the Sun for an observer on Earth. Thus, it is much more influential than other eclipses, capable of bringing significant and inevitable changes. It can be a turning point, a moment of choosing new futures and letting go of the past. The time of discovery and insight comes, when the opportunity to create a new future arises.
The energy of Pisces, highlighted by the eclipse, stimulates the imagination, allowing you to see potential everywhere. Mercury, which is also in Pisces, suggests perceiving information not only rationally, but also on an intuitive level. Pisces are known for their intuition and ability to understand the hidden meaning of things, so you can trust the intuitive insights that will come under the influence of the eclipse. In some cases, you will have to take off your rose-colored glasses to see the truth.
Pisces is a sign of the Zodiac, symbolizing the collective unconscious, where personal consciousness dissolves in the ocean of existence. The vibrations of Pisces allow you to discover the Divine presence within yourself and encourage you to surrender to the flow of life. This zodiac sign represented by two fish swimming in opposite directions. One fish symbolizes the delusions and illusions that the ego forms based on its own ideas and desires. The other is related to true awareness and the higher self. Two fish seem to invite us to make a choice - which path to follow? Therefore, the time has come to take responsibility for the history of your own life.
Neptune, which is the ruler of the sign of Pisces and the dispositor of the eclipse on March 9, 2016, is located precisely in Pisces, where its properties are most manifested. In astrology, this planet is responsible for spirituality, mysticism, art, intuition, dreams, fantasies, but is also associated with deception, self-deception, illusions and detachment from reality. In its positive form, Neptune's influence can inspire and inspire, but in its negative form, it dissolves reality, bringing disappointment and creating confusing circumstances.
The planetary configurations of the eclipse are intense - the conjunction of the Sun and Moon in Pisces opposes Jupiter in Virgo, and also forms a square with Saturn in Sagittarius. In addition, the eclipse activated negative aspects: the square of Saturn and Jupiter - one of the main planetary aspects of 2016, and the square of Uranus and Pluto, valid in 2013 - 2016. All this is to say that plans may be initiated that lack practicality or those that are not destined to come true due to lack of determination. It is possible that external forces intervene, actions that harm oneself or lead to results other than those expected. Remember the need to soberly assess the opportunities that come your way so as not to make mistakes.
The Eclipse of the Sun in Pisces suggests devoting time to introspection, being in silence and solitude in order to discover something very important. This eclipse contains a pronounced component of Neptune energy. The mission of the planet is to take you into fantasies and dreams in order to activate unconscious activity and bring messages of the unconscious to the surface. Receiving subconscious messages is not always easy, but you can make the process easier. Let yourself dream while getting lost in fantasy worlds. You might like the idea of listening to some uplifting music, swimming, soaking in a bath, singing a song, or burning incense. All of these have a connection to Neptune and will allow you to connect to your inner wisdom.
For responsible matters, large purchases, important meetings and trips, the day of the solar eclipse is not suitable, nor are the three days before and after the date of March 9, 2016. If possible, reschedule such events to other days.
Solar eclipses sow the seeds of future events, laying the program for the future. Use this powerful cosmic energy to lay down your personal program. A solar eclipse is essentially a new moon, so it’s good to carry out a new moon ritual on such a day to fulfill your wishes. Make a wish and it will receive a stellar boost, and results can come within six, nine or eighteen months, depending on the complexity of the goal.
A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon completely or partially obscures the Sun from an observer on Earth. The Moon's shadow passes across the planet, its diameter does not exceed 270 km, so the eclipse is observed in a narrow strip along its path. An eclipse is possible only on a new moon, when the Moon is directly between the Earth and the Sun. There are total, partial, annular and hybrid eclipses. A solar eclipse is the result of celestial mechanics and time. Since the moon formed about 4.5 billion years ago, it is gradually moving away from the Earth (about 4 cm per year). It is now at the ideal distance to match the size of the Sun in our sky and completely obscure it.
The last total eclipse occurred on March 20, 2015. The next one will take place on March 9, 2016, that is, in a few days. The Moon will be close to its perigee, making its full phase last just over 4 minutes. The eclipse will begin over the Indian Ocean, then be seen over the Pacific Ocean, ending north of Hawaiian Islands. Most of the route passes over the water area. The partial eclipse will be visible in South and East Asia, Northern and Western Australia, and most of the Pacific Ocean, including Hawaii, reports Space.com.
A little later, on September 1, an annular eclipse will occur; it will be visible across most of Africa, the south of the Arabian Peninsula and most of the Indian Ocean. The maximum phase will take place over Antarctica at 12:07 Moscow time.
Full eclipse this is a happy accident of nature. The diameter of the Sun (about 1.4 million km) is 400 times larger diameter Moon 3.4 thousand km. But the Moon is also about 400 times closer to Earth than the star (the ratio varies because orbits are elliptical). As a result, when the orbital planes intersect and a certain distance is reached, the Moon in the new moon phase can completely block the Sun, which happens approximately once every 18 months.

Interestingly, there are two types of shadow: umber and penumbra. For example, the cone-shaped shadow of the Earth extending into outer space has two parts - the light outer part is the penumbra (penumbra), as well as the dark inner full shadow (umbra). During a total solar eclipse, the Moon casts its umbra onto the earth's surface. During the brief period of the total phase, when the Sun is completely obscured, a beautiful corona appears - the outer layers of the Sun's atmosphere. This phase can last up to 7 minutes 31 seconds, although most total eclipses tend to be much shorter.
Partial solar eclipse occurs when only the penumbra (penumbra) passes over you. In these cases, part of the solar disk always remains in the field of view during the eclipse. The extent to which the disc is closed will depend on the specific circumstances. Typically, the penumbra slides across the planet in the regions of the polar regions; in such cases, even in places far from the poles, located in the zone of penumbra, one can only see how the Moon has hidden a small crest of the Sun. Another scenario suggests that if an observer is within 3,000 km of the path during a total eclipse, they will see a partial eclipse. The closer the observer is to the path of passage, the more coverage of the disk by the Moon he will see.
Annular eclipse this is a type of partial eclipse, not a total one. Its maximum duration is 12 minutes 30 seconds. Although the Moon is in front of the Sun, its disk is too small to completely cover it. Since the Moon’s orbit is elliptical, its distance from the Earth can vary from 355 thousand km to 405 thousand km. But the dark shadow cone of the Moon umbra can extend no further than 378 thousand km; this is less than the average distance from the Moon to the Earth. Therefore, if the Moon is further away, the top of the umbra cone does not reach the Earth. During such an eclipse, the antumbra, a theoretical extension of the umbra, reaches the surface and anyone in the field can see a "ring of fire" around the Moon.
Hybrid eclipses occur when the distance from the Moon to the Earth is at the maximum distance to reach the umbra of the planet's surface. Hybrid eclipses are also called annular total eclipses. During the eclipse, the apex of the shadow cone intersects the earth's surface on the central line of the eclipse. At such a moment, the nature of the eclipse changes from total to annular or vice versa. In most cases, these eclipses start out as annular eclipses, progress to totality, and then return to annular.
Of all eclipses, 28% are total, 35% partial, 32% annular, 5% hybrid.
In astrology, eclipses have great importance. They have a huge impact both on the whole world as a whole and on each person individually. Many astrologers take eclipses into account in their predictions. The eclipse on March 9, 2016 will occur at 9:58 a.m. (Kemerovo time) at 19 degrees Pisces and will be the fifty-second of 130 Saros (Saros is the name given to the period of repeating solar and lunar eclipses, equal to 18.3 years).The best places to view the solar eclipse on March 9, 2016 will be Southeast Asia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Australia, and the islands Pacific Ocean. Residents of China, Korea, Japan, Kamchatka, the Far East, Alaska and the Aleutian Islands will only partially see this magical phenomenon. The solar eclipse on March 9 will be total. And a total solar eclipse is always fateful.
The last solar eclipse of this cycle took place in 1998. As we remember, it was a difficult time, marked by default and a serious economic crisis. Although the eclipse of 1998 did not so much foreshadow shocks as it emphasized the need for change and renewal of the existing system. It’s not for nothing that the 130th Saros is considered a cycle of completion, when everything that has outlived its time should “sink into oblivion.” At the global level, the influence of one total eclipse is felt until the next one (the next 53rd eclipse of this series will occur on March 20, 2034).
Impact on the world situation
Any solar eclipse occurs on a new moon, when the Sun and Moon are conjunct at the same degree of the same sign. But on March 9, 3 planets will connect to the conjunction of celestial bodies - Chiron, Neptune, Mercury and the South Node in addition. This whole “mixture” will be in opposition to the conjunction of the North Node with Jupiter in the sign of Virgo. Any eclipse is always a trigger for the inclusion of aspects and configurations, that is, for the beginning of some events and phenomena. The eclipse on March 9 will turn on 2 powerful configurations at once.
First configuration- “Sail”, consisting of a stellium (Sun, Moon, Neptune, Mercury South Node) in Pisces, a conjunction of Jupiter with the North Node in Virgo, Pluto in Capricorn, and at the time of the eclipse - the Cross of Destiny in Taurus.
Second- “Tau square”, consisting of Saturn in Sagittarius (the apex of the tau square), a stellium in Pisces and Jupiter conjunct the North Node in Virgo. Brrr! Looking at all this “beauty,” I really want every president of the country or all the people on whom stabilization of the situation in the world depends to have their own astrologer. After all, eclipses are not only “scarecrows” and “horror stories”. This, first of all, is the key given to us by the Lord God himself - the key to establish and implement something, and to avoid and prevent something...
What advice would you like to give to those people on whom the well-being of the world depends? If the South Node enters into conjunction with an eclipse, and in addition with Neptune and Mercury in Pisces - conversations, persuasion, compromises - all this should remain in the past, but now it is a waste of time. What do you need to focus on?
North Node in conjunction with Jupiter in the sign of Virgo in trine to Pluto in Capricorn and trine to the Cross of Destiny (at the time of the eclipse) in Taurus: only defending one’s own material interests, developing one’s own economy and economy. All kinds of unions, alliances with other states can lead to a deterioration in one’s own personal situation. This is my personal opinion as an astrologer (eclipse: Sun, Moon, South Node, Chiron, Neptune, Mercury in Pisces - all square Saturn in Sagittarius). Don’t compete to see who can “drag” more allied countries to your side and conclude contracts with them, but focus on your own country. The failed gas pipeline through Bulgaria and Turkey clearly proved that I was right (only those states that are not members of any alliances, European Unions, blocs, but are engaged in the development of their own country and its economy, will remain afloat). Once again, this is my personal opinion.
The eclipse on March 9 will give a powerful impetus to the development of ecology and healthcare. The existing spiritual values in the world will be subject to revision. In many countries, I think there will be a rollback traditional values- traditional marriages, heterosexual relationships, family, love, children, health. A rollback can also occur in public administration(in our country this is the nostalgia of many people for the USSR, in other countries this is attempts to leave the European Union, etc.). In the field of culture and art - both a return to tradition (to the classics) and a revolutionary breakthrough.
It will not do without all sorts of revelations and high-profile scandals at the international level, since behind-the-scenes games, intrigues and deceptions are precisely among the negative qualities of the sign of Pisces.
Most natural disasters will be associated with water: both its excess (floods) and its deficiency (droughts).
In the field of charity, a transition will be planned from “blind” sponsorship to intelligent active participation. For example, helping animal shelters. Here the emphasis will not be on “blind” translation Money at the expense of the shelter, but assistance in fostering and placing the animals under care into a family, purchasing and delivering food to the nursery, doing all possible work in the nursery cleaning and walking animals, providing advertising platforms on your website, office, store, etc.
The following will be especially sensitive to the eclipse:
All people in whose territory a total solar eclipse will be visible. Countries ruled by the sign of Pisces. These are Palestine, Ceylon, the Philippines, India, Malta, Madagascar, Iceland, all the island states. In our country, these are the Kuril Islands, Sakhalin, Ussuri Territory, Kamchatka, Birobidzhan, Armenia, Crimea, St. Petersburg.
People born under the sign of Pisces, Sagittarius, Virgo, Gemini.
People whose natal chart contains planets and important points in the above signs.
For an ordinary person, the March eclipse can have an extremely intoxicating effect. The current tense tau-square configuration can push you to commit rash acts. Most of us will find it difficult to take off our rose-colored glasses, and unjustified optimism can be the main reason for the unfavorable outcome of planned affairs. It's better to refuse to accept important decisions and delay the implementation of projects. IN personal life An eclipse can cause confusion, as indicated by the activation of the Southern lunar node. So, a former love may suddenly remind itself of itself. A person who was once dear to you may call, write, or you may accidentally run into him somewhere. Do not give in to emotions and exaggerate the significance of the meeting. Fate tests your willingness to step back from everything unnecessary. And if you allow the past to somehow penetrate your life, you will later regret it. Close all doors to the past!
During a solar eclipse, try to get rid of envy and resentment. Work, training, will help with this. physical exercise and all types of physical wellness. During such eclipses, crime becomes more active. People suffering from mental disorders, drug addiction and alcoholism experience exacerbation. Try to protect yourself and your loved ones, especially children. Please exercise caution. Avoid grains dark places, deserted wastelands and parks.
For people involved esoteric practice or simply those with developed intuition, the 52nd eclipse of the 130th Saros can become a mystical event. The knowledge that will be available on this day will help you make significant progress in spiritual development. The day has a strong energy charge. You can “model” your program for the future, improve and adjust your destiny. You can just make a wish and get results within a few months. A solar eclipse is essentially a new moon, so it is good to perform new moon rituals on such a day. They can relate to love, money, work, business, real estate and everything that you want to start, develop and promote to another - higher level.
Health effects:
3 days before and after the eclipse, it is necessary to reduce mental and nervous stress. Psyche and nervous system these days is more vulnerable than ever.

On the territory of Russia, only residents of Kamchatka will be able to observe this astronomical phenomenon.
The current eclipse, according to astrologers, will be difficult both for the individual and for the world as a whole. So, what should we expect from the Solar Eclipse on March 9, 2016?
The influence of the Solar Eclipse of March 9, 2016 on people and the world.
According to the generally accepted classification, the spring eclipse will be the 52nd eclipse of the 130th Saros. Saros is a period of repeating solar and lunar eclipses equal to 18.3 years. The last Solar Eclipse of this cycle took place in 1998, which became very difficult for Russia. It was a difficult year, with an economic crisis raging in the country and a default that forced Russians to realize the need for change and renewal. Astrologers call the 130th Saros a cycle of completion, when everything that has become obsolete must sink into oblivion.
At the global level, the impact of one total eclipse is felt until the next one. And since the March eclipse will occur in the sign of Pisces, issues of physical and spiritual healing will come to the fore in 2016. Serious changes must affect the healthcare sector. Thus, established methods and methods of treatment may be considered ineffective. ethnoscience, on the contrary, will gain even more fans. It is possible that the spiritual values that have developed in society will be subject to revision. And works of art created in this year, will be able to produce a real cultural revolution.
Who will be most affected by the solar eclipse on March 9, 2016:
The impact of the eclipse will be felt especially acutely by people whose significant horoscope elements are in the signs of Pisces, Virgo, Gemini and Sagittarius.
Good opportunity Pisces born from March 6 to March 12 will change their life for the better.
But Virgos need to be especially careful in March 2016.
The main thing is not to panic and do not be afraid of eclipses; it is better to observe the events taking place with a calm heart and eyes wide open, without turning away or getting emotionally involved.
Wisdom and arcane knowledge will accompany March 9, 2016. On this day, intuition is activated, which must be trusted, otherwise there may be big problems. This is a great time to make a wish; it will definitely come true if it is connected with love or family.
It will not happen without espionage revelations and high-profile international scandals, because behind-the-scenes games, intrigues and deceptions are precisely negative aspects sign of Pisces. And most of the natural disasters will be associated with water: both with its excess (floods) and its deficiency (droughts). In this regard, 2016 risks being remembered as a lean year.
The Virgo-Pisces axis, which is accentuated by the eclipse, is called the axis of voluntary service. Therefore, the countries that will be able to achieve the greatest progress in 2016 are those that actively promote people’s caring attitude towards each other and the environment.
The March eclipse will have a stupefying effect on an ordinary person. The current tense configuration of the planets, which includes the Sun, Moon, Jupiter and Saturn, will push you to commit rash acts. Most of us will find it difficult to take off our rose-colored glasses, and unjustified optimism will be the main reason for the unfavorable outcome of planned affairs. In this regard, on March 9 and in the next two days, it is better to refuse to make important decisions and delay the implementation of ambitious projects.
An eclipse can bring chaos and confusion into your personal life, as indicated by the activation of the Descending Lunar Node. So, a former love may suddenly remind itself of itself. It is not necessary that a person who was once dear to you will call, write or pay a visit; you can accidentally run into him under the most mysterious circumstances. Do not give in to emotions and do not exaggerate the significance of the meeting. Fate tests your willingness to step back from everything unnecessary. And if you allow the past to enter your life, you will later regret it.
It is advisable to devote March 9, 2016 to taking care of your health. The great influence of Neptune and the number 7 on this day (52nd eclipse: 5 + 2 = 7) emphasizes that the physical state will directly depend on the mental state. If you have envy, resentment, aggression or anger hidden inside you, then during a solar eclipse you will be able to get rid of them. Meditation, music therapy and water treatments will help with this.
For people engaged in esoteric practice or simply having developed intuition, the 52nd eclipse of the 130th Saros can become a mystical event. The knowledge that will become available on this day will help you make significant progress in your spiritual development. Those who want to enlist the support of fortune for a long time should pay more attention to those around them on March 9. Give up selfishness and help those who need your help: a relative, a friend, a neighbor...
And if doing at least one good deed a day becomes a habit, then 2016 will be one of the most rosy years of your life. And the troubles that an eclipse could bring will bypass you and your home.
I am writing simply through force, apparently, I am picking up the rather heavy Saturnian energies.
An eclipse square to Saturn is not too easy to bear. The first task is to overcome coldness and dullness. But here there is complete confidence that spring will win and there is very little left until real warmth.
Entering the solar eclipse (into its aura) is quite tense, and already on Saturday many will experience obvious irritation and a readiness to enter into arguments on almost any issue. It seems that a very gentle holiday is approaching, but somehow not for everyone. Those who start celebrating early may fall into irritability and intransigence instead of a light festive mood.
In extreme cases, it can even lead to assault. You need to be especially careful on the road, as a banal conflict can lead to a sharp showdown. Try not to exceed the speed limit and do not respond to rudeness with rudeness.
The red color enhances resonance with intense energies and can provoke sharp reactions from others, so you should try to be especially attentive and calm in red cars, and it is better not to wear red clothes.
In general, there are difficulties in transport, traffic jams. There may be a particularly high number of accidents on March 5 and 6.
Intimate conversations work out poorly.
The dialogue is ongoing, but we don’t hear the interlocutors, especially if the points of view do not coincide. People display arrogance to the point of confidence in their own absolute infallibility and transferring their own mistakes onto others.
In difficult situations, there is a search for the last resort. Some may express a desire to push others to fight among themselves. In any case, let's think about the consequences these days; rash words can cost a lot.
It is also very difficult to ask for forgiveness now. Having quarreled on the eve of Women's Day, it is difficult to back down. On the part of younger men, there may be a lot of talk and promises that are not supported by the depth of feelings and seriousness of aspirations.
It is possible that we will encounter some kind of electrifying news. The tension is brought by the military theme. Anxiety is growing among people, and the media is fueling it.
And after a completely wild weekend, we find ourselves under the cooling waves of Saturn. If we look at the position of Saturn in relation to the point of the eclipse, then there we will see the exact square of Saturn to both the Moon and the Sun.
This position of Saturn to the luminaries is called an aspect of true depression, so many will not greet these women's holidays in the most rosy mood. That's why!
If there are lonely women around you, show at least a little attention, brighten up their loneliness, give them a small gift, call them, congratulate them. The worst thing now: the chill of loneliness.
Waves of past emotions rise very easily, words are taken literally. It is difficult to build relationships with older women. During these holidays, mothers and wives especially need your warmth, try to give them some sense of stability and constancy.
In general, during this eclipse the parent topic has been updated.
Elderly fathers and grandfathers are also increasingly anxious. Young people, be more generous and don't bring up "generational" issues.
Many experience a lack of optimism and distrust of excessive enthusiasm. There is an increased need for a sense of security, which is expressed in the desire to clearly know the prospects, but now this knowledge is just not there.
People are more inclined to engage in issues where the benefits are visible in advance. Things begin to doubt these days, and only weighty justifications lead to action. There is passive sabotage of the new. People seem to be afraid of a catch, they are very careful.
It’s even better that it’s the weekend, otherwise I’m not in the mood to work at all.
Distrust in banks and securities and concerns about exchange rates are intensifying. People are afraid of financial deception - hence the anxiety. Non-payment crisis. After all, there have been a lot of unpaid payments since the New Year.
I don’t want to talk about politics, but in recent history, a similar eclipse in Pisces took place on the border between winter and spring in 1998, and it all ended with the resignation of the government, and by the fall even more “interesting” events.
Only then the conjunction of the Sun and the Moon “pressed” Pluto square (and it is associated with large impersonal masses of money), and now Saturn... and I want to believe that it presses more gently... not to death.
But still, both now and before the autumn eclipses, the lack of optimism has well-understood reasons. Total eclipse. No matter how the world is completely affected (a turbulent year ahead). Take care of your money. Invest wisely.
We should also expect a deterioration in the well-being of weakened and chronically ill people, and older people in general. Solar eclipses always occur on the New Moon, when the energy potential is already weakened, and especially these days.
The psychologically most difficult total solar eclipse on March 9 can be experienced by those born in mutable signs: Pisces, Sagittarius, Virgo, Gemini. There is a significant imbalance in the work of the second (svadhisthana) and third (manipura) energy field vortex centers in the accompanying human field.
Where is the best place to watch the eclipse? Here:
