Full Moon in sidereal Cancer/Capricorn: Preparing for the Total Solar Eclipse
Star Signposts: Week of New SolLunar Cycle/First Quarter Moon ~ July 23 – August 6
New SolLunar Cycle in sidereal Cancer aligned with Mars
EarthSky Oracle: Total Solar Eclipse ~ August 21 2017
The Great American Total Solar Eclipse (TSE) of August 21, 2017 is a crossing, a passage, a bridge across time, especially for the USA. The last time a TSE covered the entirety of America, coast to coast, was 1918 and the next time will be 2045. If you travel to the swath of totality, expect to see day literally becoming night, with purple-blue supernatural shadows, stars suddenly shining, and the diamond ring of the Sun’s corona at totality.
