2011 June 1st eclipse -notes on
The partial solar eclipse on June 1 2011 affects most strongly those born on or around:
June 1, Sept 4, Dec 3, March 2, as well as Jan 16, April 16, July 19, Oct 19, any year.
(note June 1st is the northern hemisphere date: check your local correspondence of 9.04pm Universal Time. In NZ this converts to 9.04 am on Tues June 2)

On or around means primarily the actual day and a day either side, due to calendar fluctuations and the fact that energy doesn't stop on a fine line: it has a range of influence.
(If you are fortunate enough to have had a birth chart prepared for you, this eclipse will also strongly target those with Gemini rising, especially around 11 degrees, as well as those with Virgo, Sag, or Pisces around from 9-13 degrees rising)
This is a Gemini eclipse - with effects related to information, communication, ideas, thinking, mental activity in general as well as short journeys, especially on foot, by bicycle or in a vehicle in the local or regional environment. The hands are the part of the body that outwardly express the theme of movement or activity.
This eclipse is contacted by Saturn but not in a position of conflict, though of course Saturn can be challenging under any conditions.
Mercury, through which the sun and moon's sign position of Gemini is expressed in this eclipse, is in Taurus, the sign of physical and material things, including the natural environment. Jupiter in Aries is the only close contact to Mercury.
Each place on the planet has its own eclipse chart, so the effects are modified and different emphases apply depending on location, but the overall impression from this combination is that:
serious/anxiety-laden discussions ( Saturn trine eclipse in Gemini) will occur regarding finances, budgeting, balancing the books (Saturn in Libra) in relationship to possessions and material security (Mercury in Taurus). Extreme selfishness (Jupiter in Aries) could be an issue in these discussions creating relationship strain (Saturn in Libra)
So, since there is an eclipse involved, the effects are magnified and global, but individual people and places vary in terms of their resonance with these effects. In simple terms, people born in the time frames noted initially are most influenced.
In terms of humanity, collectively we are confronted with our relationship to money and material possessions; how to get things back in balance; how to be fair, cooperative and unselfish - though of course some will react oppositely and choose personal freedom instead of responsibilities.
This is the first of an unusual triple set of mid-year eclipses within 30 days (June 1-July 1), so effects are more likely to be evident over the 6 month duration until the end of year pair occurs.
Update 31 May
More thoughts coming to mind re other permutations possible in the mixing of the energies involved:
Saturn can link or separate people when in Libra ( depending on how each person connects to the current position of Saturn) - so conversations around relationship commitment or splitting up - make it or break it stuff. Property matters enter into the discussions, but Saturn is capable of delaying, impeding discussions re assets/finances.
All of this makes sense in the current national and global fiscal climate. The bottom line for people is their household budget and any further strains will break the camel's back for those already on the edge. This typically leads to marriage and partnership strife. Anyone who has been sitting on the need to voice their concerns will find this time period is right to do so.
