The Karmic Legacy of Saros Solar 149 Eclipse Series: From 1664 to the Edge of Evolution
Introduction
On August 21, 1664, a seemingly minor partial solar eclipse unfolded over the Arctic. Unbeknownst to the world at the time, this event marked the genesis of Saros Series 149 Solar Eclipse Series — a celestial rhythm that would echo across centuries, threading together some of history’s most transformational figures. As part of the Eclipse Memory Transmission Protocol (EMTP), this article explores how the archetypal energies seeded at the 1664 eclipse have resurfaced through the lives of Charles Darwin, Abraham Lincoln, John F. Kennedy, and Elon Musk, guiding humanity through phases of scientific, moral, political, and technological evolution.
The Root Eclipse: 21 August 1664
- Date/Time: 21 August 1664, 08:58 TD
- Location: 71°N, 173.8°E
- Zodiacal Position: Sun and Moon at 28°51′ Leo (7th house)
- Key Chart Features:
- Venus conjunct Descendant at 22°21′ Leo
- Mercury in 6th house (22°04′ Leo)
- Mars in 8th (20°54′ Libra), Jupiter and Neptune in 11th (Capricorn)
- Uranus and Chiron in 12th (Aquarius)
- North Node in 8th (11°16′ Leo)
- MC: 10°34′ Capricorn | ASC: 22°21′ Aquarius
This chart establishes a karmic framework of relational healing, visionary responsibility, and spiritual reintegration. Venus conjunct the Descendant marks a collective need to restore harmony in relationships, while the Aquarius ascendant and Capricorn Midheaven highlight humanity’s responsibility to evolve beyond fragmentation.
Understanding the 18-Year Saros Cycle
The Saros cycle is an 18-year, 11-day, 8-hour rhythm in which nearly identical eclipses repeat — not only in geometry and duration but in their deeper archetypal resonance. Each Saros series unfolds over a period of 12 to 13 centuries, comprising approximately 70–73 eclipses. Like a cosmic DNA strand, each eclipse in the series represents a new iteration of the original imprint, evolving its message over time.
For example, Saros Solar Series 149, which began in 1664, revisits Earth every 18 years, with each return activating and updating the original karmic seed. When individuals such as Darwin (1808), Lincoln (1808), JFK (1917), and Musk (1971) are born under successive eclipses in this series, they become living carriers of its pre-natal imprint. The pre-natal solar eclipse is especially significant — it represents the cosmic atmosphere into which the soul prepares to incarnate, shaping the individual’s core evolutionary purpose.
Key Historical Events of 1664: Anchoring the Saros Seed
- Descartes’ Mechanistic Treatises Published: Treatise of Man and The World reinforce the split between body and soul — a theme later challenged by Darwin and holistic science.
- British Conquest of New Amsterdam: The Dutch surrender leads to the founding of New York, shifting imperial power and legal frameworks.
- Maryland Act on Forced Marriages: Early legislation attempts to regulate the exploitation of enslaved Black women, embedding early karmic codes of justice and injustice.
These events create a socio-political field that parallels the eclipse’s archetypal chart themes — power, justice, identity, and the integration of mind and body.
Darwin, Lincoln, JFK, and Musk: Eclipse Echoes through Time
All four figures were born under the Pre-Natal Saros 149 Solar Eclipse and share a remarkable eclipse lineage that connects them back to the 1664 root chart. Their pre-natal eclipses are not incidental; they serve as karmic activation points, encoding the soul’s purpose before birth:
| Name | Pre-Natal Solar Eclipse | Series | Zodiac Degree |
|---|---|---|---|
| Darwin | 18 Nov 1808 | Saros 149 | 25°30′ Scorpio |
| Lincoln | 18 Nov 1808 | Saros 149 | 25°30′ Scorpio |
| JFK | 19 May 1917 | Saros 149 | 27°43′ Taurus |
| Musk | 25 Feb 1971 | Saros 149 | 6°01′ Pisces |
Each of these eclipses represents a repetition and evolution of the 1664 imprint, bringing forward its karmic potential in new forms:
- Darwin rewrites the creation story, healing the body-soul schism rooted in Cartesian dualism.
- Lincoln embodies relational justice, confronting the racial and moral legacy seeded in colonial law.
- JFK invokes political idealism and sacrifice, embodying the Leo-Aquarius polarity of heart and vision.
- Musk envisions a post-Earth humanity, recoding human destiny in alignment with Aquarian innovation.
1844: A Karmic Echo in the Saros 149 Timeline
In 1844, a significant eclipse in Saros 149 Solar series coincided with the publication of “Vestiges of the Natural History of Creation” by Robert Chambers. Published anonymously, this ground-breaking work synthesized ideas of stellar evolution and the transmutation of species, tying together emerging scientific theories into a coherent cosmic narrative. The book profoundly influenced both Darwin and Lincoln, capturing their imaginations and planting seeds that would manifest in Darwin’s evolutionary theory and Lincoln’s philosophical depth.
This moment represents a resonant pulse in the Saros field, a mid-arc transmission from the 1664 origin toward the 20th century awakenings.
Saros 149 as a Living Transmission Line
Saros 149 operates like a karmic DNA strand, transmitting evolutionary codes through time. The lives of Darwin, Lincoln, JFK, and Musk represent key resonance nodes. Each unfolds a unique harmonic of the original 1664 frequency:
- Descartes → Darwin: From mechanistic biology to evolutionary consciousness
- Maryland Law → Lincoln: From enslavement to emancipation
- New York Shift → JFK: From imperial identity to visionary leadership
- Colonial Expansion → Musk: From earthly empires to multiplanetary ambition
Conclusion: A New Pulse in 2025
The recent eclipse in the Saros 149 series occurred on 29 March 2025, marking the current activation of this karmic lineage — a moment for the collective to remember, realign, and receive the updated transmission seeded at the edge of the world in 1664. This was certainly true with the dramatic change in fortunes for Musk, who rose to prominence at the time of the last eclipse in this series in 2007 and now needs to adjust to this new 18-year cycle.
Through the EMTP framework, we can not only witness these patterns but participate in them — by aligning our own lives with the cosmic narrative embedded in Saros 149.
Stay tuned: the past is not finished with us yet.
