Dear Mitch:

        As a professional, published astrologer, I looked into this question of an asteroid hit on the solar eclipse. Based on the grand cross that forms in this eclipse, it has all the signatures of a meteor. One astrological statement (when the cross is placed at an angular latitude and longitude) may be read as: A Hot, Heavy, Steaming, Firery Iron Object Suddenly Appears out of the Atmosphere Rapidly descending into the Earth causing Sudden Eruptions or Explosions of Metal, Fire and Earth which darken the air. Another astrological statement which you will see happen during this eclipse is: A Sudden Revolutionary Uprising which defies Government Restrictions and may overthrow a Government.

This is most likely to happen under the shadow of the eclipse but as an active statement in the sky, there are other places on the planet where it will also be active. Unfortunately there is no software which actually pulls up locations for an astrologer such as myself. I have to physically decipher them and when you consider the birth charts of each nation and city it would take more time than I have available. I did the work to locate the physical hit by moving this grand cross to the angles. It will most likely hit the northwestern part of Namibia, South Africa and/or a point just north west of the Wake Islands in the Pacific. Since the shadow of the eclipse falls most visibly in a small corridor across Europe from just southwest of London down through Strasbourg (France) across Craiova (Romania) and through Ruse and Varna (Bulgaria) into the Black Sea, it may be that a hit in Namibia will activate an underground eruption that moves through Europe causing the greatest damage in this shadow path. The fact that this eclipse is visible only in Europe indicates a certain degree of safety to the rest of us - at least under the immediate transit. But as this grand cross continues to move forward and then separate, it can have effects in other parts of the world as well.

Just a note on activation of this eclipse. The transit of mars is a trigger to the beginning activation of these actions and it's squaring of Saturn begins August 7th and will not completely separate until August 15. That makes this period very actively set for violent activities. Additionally those living under the shadow of the eclipse (according to the ancient astrologers) can expect activities which occur during the eclipse to continue in some way for a period of time equal in years to the time that the eclipse in visible. To put that in English. This eclipse is visible for a 2 minutes 23 seconds which equals an active period of approximately 14 days from the start of the eclipse (from Aug. 11 at 11:03 am Greenwich Mean Time until Aug. 25 at 11:03 am GMT.) Hope this will help your audience further understand the eclipse and its astrological actions.
 
Sincerely,
