Friday's Solar Eclipse - Catch The Wave!

by WC

The solar eclipse of Friday the 22nd is not only an astronomical event, but also a significant astrological one. Eclipses are always important events in astrology. First of all, a solar eclipse always occurs at the time of the new moon. As you may already know, the new moon is the time each month when you look up and can't see the Moon in the sky. It's also the time each month when the Sun and the Moon are located in the same part of the sky from our perspective here on Earth, which is what makes it a little tough to be able to see the Moon while it is busy being overshadowed by the overpowering rays of the Sun.

A solar eclipse is basically a "super" new moon, exaggerating the already existing effects of a normal new moon. The new moon always represents a time each and every month when people can take the opportunity to wipe the slate clean and make some fresh starts and new beginnings and really take initiative to begin some new cycles of activity. And the solar eclipse presents an even better opportunity to do all of these things! So whatever your sign, everyone should take the opportunity to use Friday's solar eclipse to get ready to grab your board and catch that next wave and ride it into the new year!
