Ok, yes, perfect example!
so this shortage is a symbol of most essentials not being met, as compared to a shortage of things that we can life without. like toilet paper, haha.
Hi Ida, welcome to the group. With respect to an eclipse, it does not matter much if you use the eclipse time for the birth place or the place they are at as the eclipse happens at the same moment. IF you are casting a chart for the moment the eclipse is happening on their planet in order to get a custom eclipse chart for them, then yes, cast it for their birth place.
I do not know that book, so can't help you there. BUt this lunar eclipse was one of solving problems, so we have problems, this eclipse is here to help us solve them. So maybe this is the tools you need so solve some stuff in yourself.
