Exact Eclipse Time 2:55:30 am Locally

It’s a funny thing to do: I got up at 2:45 this morning to see the eclipse. Our Chihuahua, Buddy, ever on the alert, started barking when I opened the back door to view the moon’s position in the night sky. My phone camera couldn’t catch the image clearly, which was a disappointment to me personally. Here it is:

As usual, I’m blaming my equipment, but I could have used my digital camera instead, so the fault is mine. At least Buddy’s barking woke Susan up, so she got to witness the view for herself, too.

Not surprisingly, the eclipse affected me personally: The eclipse’s Mars in Cancer is the apex of an interactive Yod, formed by inconjuncts to my natal Sun and Ascendant (which is just under 3° from the eclipse’s Ascendant). The eclipse’s Moon is within 5° from my natal Saturn. And my natal Uranus is inconjunct to the eclipse’s Pluto. I feel ‘mad as hell and I’m not going to take this anymore.’

Who’s with me?
