As you’ve probably heard by now, tomorrow we will be able to witness what has been dubbed “The Great American Eclipse.” This unique total eclipse of the sun takes place on 8/21/2017 at 28 degrees Leo and will completely move across the entire continental United States. It marks the first time a solar eclipse of this scope (spanning the entire country) has occurred in 99 years! For a few moments, a slim path of totality will race across the nation this Monday leaving behind a strange and amazing experience of darkness during the middle of the day. 

In ancient times eclipses were seen with wonder and fear as the sun was associated with the royal king. It often was believed to be a bad omen heralding a possible loss in battle or the demise of the king. Today it is seen as an exciting event however it can be complicated in our daily lives. The rule is ten days before and three days after the eclipse, it is wise to delay commitments or assume anything is as it appears. It is the shadow that covers intentions, actions, and false information causing sudden misunderstandings, crisis or surprise after the shadow passes. 

This intense fire eclipse is attached to other traveling planets during this event. From the aggression of Mars, war in Leo and impulsive action of Uranus impulsive action, expect sudden shifts in the independent fire sign of Aries. The topper (also at 28 degrees Leo) is the ancient royal star sign of “REGULUS” full of absolute power.

You can expect bold headlines and lots of “Breaking News” that will grab the public’s attention as it cuts across the United States from Portland, Oregon to the Carolina’s. It has a checked and difficult history bring dramatic events, close calls and scandals that can unsettle or divide the nation. 

Not everyone will be profoundly affected by this eclipse but every astrology sign will have a spotlight on it allowing it to bring information to you that may need a second look. This could be a surprise or something positive or helpful that you need to know.
