Subject D Lottery Lunations and Eclipses

Along with so many other winners presented in this book, Subject D’s win was preceded by a set of eclipses. The Lunar Eclipse that took place on November 8, 1984, fell into her 6^th house, where it:

• Squared natal Saturn, ruler of the 2nd house of money.
• Squared natal Pluto, planet of wealth and transformation, in the 8^th house of lotteries.
• Trined natal Mercury, ruler of the Midheaven at the Midheaven.

The Eclipse Moon ruled the 8^th house of lotteries.

Eclipse Uranus conjuncted the Prenatal Lunar Eclipse at 12 Sagittarius 22. It squared natal Venus, ruler of the 11th house of plot twists and changes of fortune. Eclipse Venus opposed natal Uranus and conjuncted the natal East Point, which captures the public’s imagination.

While returning to conjunct its natal position, the Moon’s North Node also conjuncted the Prenatal Solar Eclipse at 28 Taurus 42.

Eclipse Mercury and the Eclipse Midheaven conjuncted the natal Ascendant where they trined natal Transpluto of payoffs and the natal Part of Fortune in the 8^th house of lotteries.

The Eclipse Ascendant opposed natal Pluto, planet of wealth and transformation in the 8^th house of lotteries, and natal Saturn, ruler of the 2^nd house of money. It made an inconjunct to natal Mars, ruler of the 5^th house of risks and gambles in the 8^th house of lotteries. The Eclipse Part of Fortune conjuncted Pluto and Saturn.

Eclipse Mars, ruler of the 5^th house of risks and gambles which transited through the 2^nd house of money, sextiled and trined the natal Moon’s Nodes, showing that this particular gamble would become a turning point or milestone in life.

The Eclipse Vertex date with destiny, one minute shy of 10 Virgo, trined the natal Moon, ruler of the 8^th house of lotteries, and conjuncted the natal Sun and Venus, ruler of the 11^th house of lucky breaks.

We haven’t been tracking the outer planets or long-term transits in the New Moon or Eclipse charts because for the most part, they were in the same positions they held in the winning transit charts. But watch Jupiter in the lunation charts of Subject D. In this Lunar Eclipse, which took place November 8, 1984, the chart ruler, Eclipse Jupiter, was at 10 Capricorn 10, and trined the natal Moon, ruler of the 8^th house of lotteries. Hold that thought; we’ll come back to it soon.

On November 22, 1984, two weeks after the Lunar Eclipse, and exactly one month before Subject D won the lottery, a Solar Eclipse took place at 00 Sagittarius 50. It conjuncted the natal Ascendant and South Node, and trined the natal Part of Fortune and Transpluto of payoffs in the 8^th house of lotteries. Once again, the Eclipse Moon ruled the 8^th house.

Transits to the Prenatal Eclipses remain the same as they were at the time of the Lunar Eclipse.

We’re skipping over the ruler of the 2^nd house of money because Saturn is a long-term transit, and moving on to the ruler of the 5^th house of risks and gambles. Eclipse Mars opposed natal Transpluto of payoffs, and squared natal Chiron, of triumphant ascendancy and rare opportunities, in the 11^th house of plot twists and lucky breaks.

Ruler of the 11^th house, Eclipse Venus had just entered the 2^nd house of money, where it conjuncted Eclipse Jupiter, the chart ruler. It trined the natal Moon, ruler of the 8^th house of lotteries. Are you still holding the thought of Jupiter in trine to the Moon from the Lunar Eclipse of November 8^th? Here, two weeks later, Eclipse Jupiter and Eclipse Venus conjuncted to form a Grand Trine with the natal Moon and the natal Sun / Venus conjunction. Eclipse Jupiter’s trine to natal Venus had an orb of only two minutes. Hold that thought, too.

The Eclipse Midheaven squared the natal Ascendant / Descendant axis, and trined natal Chiron, of triumphant ascendancy and rare opportunities.

The Eclipse Ascendant and Part of Fortune conjuncted natal Uranus, planet of shocks, surprises and sudden changes.

The Eclipse Vertex date with destiny squared natal Saturn, ruler of the 2^nd house of money, and sextiled / trined the natal Midheaven / Nadir axis. It was only 3 degrees shy of conjuncting natal Jupiter, the chart ruler, and as we’ve seen in so many in these charts, it was close enough.

Eclipse Mercury, ruler of the natal Midheaven, conjuncted the natal East Point, which drew public attention. Then the Eclipse East Point trined Neptune in the 10^th house of public recognition. These are small transits that are easy to overlook, but contribute a great deal to the win.

A month passed after the Solar Eclipse. On December 22, 1984, at 6:46 A.M. Eastern Standard Time, a New Moon took place at 00 Capricorn 49. It was the winter solstice, and an Aries Point. At 9 P.M. the same day, Subject D won $13 million in the lottery. The New Moon fell into her 1^st house, but made no significant aspects at all to her natal chart.

Remember that Mercury is the final dispositor of the natal chart. Transiting Mercury turned retrograde on December 4, 1984, at 00 Capricorn 44, and on December 22, it was stationary direct, a stalled hurricane gathering strength. It would turn direct on Christmas Eve at 14 Sagittarius 32, but on the 22^nd, it made a number of aspects:

• Inconjuncted natal Mars, ruler of the 5^th house of risks and gambles, occupying the 8^th house of lotteries.

• Trined natal Pluto, planet of wealth and transformation, occupying the 8^th house of lotteries.

• Trined natal Saturn, ruler of the 2^nd house of money, just 56 minutes outside the 8^th house of lotteries.

• Squared the natal Sun.

• Squared natal Venus, ruler of the 11^th house of plot twists and lucky breaks.

• A conjunction to the Prenatal Lunar Eclipse at 12 Sagittarius 22.

Mars, ruler of the 5^th house of risks and gambles, brought a turning point or milestone through a square to the Moon’s Nodes. It also squared the Prenatal Solar Eclipse at 28 Taurus 42.

Still holding the thought about Jupiter? At the Lunar Eclipse, Jupiter trined the natal Moon, ruler of the 8^th house of lotteries. At the Solar Eclipse, Jupiter trined the Moon, plus the Sun and Venus. In the New Moon chart on the day of the win, Jupiter trined Mercury, ruler of the Midheaven and final dispositor of the natal chart, which was conjunct the Midheaven. Jupiter’s trine to Mercury had an orb of only two minutes.

In the Solar Eclipse chart, the Ascendant and Part of Fortune conjuncted natal Uranus. In the New Moon chart, they opposed it.

In the Solar Eclipse chart, the Midheaven squared the Ascendant / Descendant axis. In the New Moon chart, it squared the Vertex date with destiny.

In the Solar Eclipse chart, the Vertex date with destiny squared natal Saturn. In the New Moon chart, it conjuncted natal Transpluto of payoffs.

The East Point of the New Moon chart brought public awareness through an opposition to natal Mars, ruler of the 5^th house of risks and gambles, and the natal Vertex date with destiny.
