Solar Eclipse
This week the Moon wanes in its light as it gets ready for a New Moon on Sunday July 11th.
A New Moon is when the Sun and the Moon are right next to each other, with the light of the Sun so bright that the lessor light of the Moon becomes invisible. This is because the New Moon will be in the astrological sign of Cancer at 19 degrees on Sunday July 11th at 3:40 pm EDT.
There is a Total Solar Eclipse also on Sunday July 11th at 3:40 pm at 19 degrees Cancer. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon aligns exactly between the Earth and the Sun, blocking the Sun’s light (see diagram below). This solar eclipse won’t be visible in the US, or not many places at all since the path of the eclipse is right in the middle of the ocean. For what this eclipse means symbolically to you, go to the Changing Sky.
