Eclipses and Downfalls: The Astrology of the Fall of Public Figures
2/20/202644 min
In ancient astrology, eclipses were viewed as omens of the death or downfall of prominent people. In this episode, I want to go over some examples from recent history and current news that demonstrate that this ancient observation is still true to this day. I recorded this on February 19, 2026, right as the big news hit that Prince Andrew was just arrested in connection with the Jeffrey Epstein files, which happened only two days after a solar eclipse in Aquarius. We'll dive into what I define as "eclipse season," a roughly month-long period that starts about a week before the first eclipse and ends about a week after the second eclipse. During this time, it is incredibly common to see prominent or political figures suffering some sort of public downfall. We are going to walk through several recent examples of this, from the arrest of Jeffrey Epstein in 2019, to the collapse of Sam Bankman-Fried's crypto company FTX, to the raid on Sean "Diddy" Combs' mansions. We will also look at how this applies to major historical events, including the deaths of Princess Diana and Pope John Paul I, as well as the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. But as we'll discuss, a downfall is not always permanent. Because an eclipse is a conjunction, it represents the closing of one cycle, but also the laying of the seeds or foundations for something completely new to grow. Since our current eclipse season is not over yet, I highly recommend paying attention to the new beginnings taking root in your own life right now, even if they do not seem that momentous yet.

In ancient astrology, eclipses were viewed as omens of the death or downfall of prominent people and in this video, I wanna go over some examples, both current ones that are in the news that demonstrate that that is still true to this day as well as some other recent examples from recent history that show the downfall or the death of prominent people during eclipse season All right, so I'm recording this on February 19th, 2026, and the big news today is that, uh, Prince Andrew was just arrested in connection with some of the emails that came out over the past month in connection with the Jeffrey Epstein case and the Jeffrey Epstein files. And this was major notable news, uh, from an astrological standpoint because an eclipse just took place in Aquarius, a solar eclipse only two days ago on February 17th. And in the news, this marked an important turning point because this is the first s- first time somebody connected with the British royal family had been arrested in modern times, and there were no recent, uh, examples of this any time in like the past century. So this is a major case and a major instance of a public downfall of like a notable or a prominent figure who's, you know, in a very high position, but suddenly is, um, suffering a public disgrace or a public downfall of some sort.
