Secrets in Shadows pencil on black paper Jude Cowell Art 2018+

July 12, 2018: A new drawing inspired by tonight's Solar Eclipse @20Cancer41 conjunct and activating one of the stars of creativity, Castor. Besides, any eclipse has the ability to suddenly uncover secrets and inconvenient facts with a cosmic blink from the Universe!

New Collage! Our Cosmic Blinks (Eclipses)

Created January 30, 2018: Our Cosmic Blinks are the 'wild cards of the Universe'...Eclipses!

Counting Solar and Lunar there are five eclipses in 2018: first, the Lunar Eclipse Jan 31, 2018 @11Leo37, the 'We The People Solar Eclipse' of February 15, 2018, a 2 Old North Solar Eclipse on July 13 @21Cancer (Mr. Trump's PE series), a Lunar Eclipse @5Aquarius on July 27 (conjunct America's natal South Node of the Moon--a swipe from the dragon's tail), and on August 11 the Solar Eclipse of the 2018 Midterm Elections, aka, the 'Tower Eclipse' as in the number 16 Tarot card with its 'collapse of plans and/or lifestyles' vibes (Brady).

Lady Unmasking: in time for Feb 7 '08 Eclipse

Lady Unmasking is drawn and published in honor of the Feb 7, 2008 Solar Eclipse in the 10 North Series.

Keyphrases for this Series which last manifested on Jan 26, 1990 (so similar issues may resurface from that time period) are:

strong emphasis on communications; frustrating or inhibiting events occur relating to news, paperwork, or a young person; a draining of energy--take things quietly for there's an element of fatigue with this Series. (Brady's Predictive Astrology.)

Yes, Lady Unmasking is a bit of a departure for Secret Moon Art, for my figure studies and mask-related images are usually published at Cosmic Persona Designs with Children's, Botanical, and Fairy Art published here at SMA.

Plus, I hope you don't mind a smidge of Astrology with your Art today! I have sashayed into Astrology here before--it is Secret Moon Art, after all.

Why "Unmasking"? The reason some folk call this the Unmasking Eclipse is because it falls at "18Aquarius" and the Sabian Symbol for that degree is "A Man Unmasked."

This speaks of a man's secret motives being revealed due to the impossibility of keeping one's true motives hidden forever...and '18AQ' is the opposite degree of Venus' position on 9/11/01.

Venus' degree on 9/11 was same as the Sun/Moon degree of the August 11, 1999 Solar Eclipse...aka the King of Alarm Eclipse which set the tone for the New Millennium. Sour note so far, right?

Nostradamus' description of this difficult Eclipse related primarily to monetary issues and we know that the attacks of 9/11 were aimed to decimate our financial system.

Yet even Washington DC may fall prey to the influence of the Feb 7 Eclipse, for they have the most secret motives of all...and the most to gain by keeping things out of sight.
