An annular solar eclipse took place today. A solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the earth and the sun, totally or partially the sun as viewed by us on earth. An annular solar eclipse occurs when the moon's apparent diameter is smaller than the sun, causing the Sun to look like an annulus (ring), blocking most of the sun's light - also known as “Ring of Fire” (the image at the bottom of this post shows that effect best.)
Astrologically eclipses are powerful times, and
if you are in any way sensitive or intuitive you may have felt either a sharp
increase or decrease in your energy levels over the last few days as it approached. Sometimes also accompanied by vivid
dreams and restless sleep. As in this annular eclipse the moon fits just inside
the sun revealing only a ring of fire, it speaks of revelations in life or
relationships. If you want to see how it may affect you personally you can look
for where it occurs in your birth chart – it happened at 0 degrees Gemini, so
for example if that’s in your 10th House, there might be a
revelation at work, or your Mum might tell you something you didn’t know
before. If its next to or “conjunct” a planet or angle in your chart it might
have very strong personal resonance for you. Eclipses always hint at new starts
and change. If you want to harness the current energy, now is the time to think of where
you are planning change in your life, where you need to let go and move on. The
universe is supporting you today in making that wish a reality! If not, then
you can just enjoy the images and the beauty of this natural phenomena, and I
personally will be glad to hopefully get a good nights sleep tonight now it's taken place (as I am one of those sensitive types that suffers from all of the above!)
Strangely I my sleep was better the night before :)
