The Annular Solar Eclipse of April, 2014

     “The moon will blot out the sun in the first solar eclipse of the year on Tuesday (April 28, 11:14pm PDT). While partial views of the celestial shadow play will be visible across Australia, only penguins a bit farther south are in the right spot to see the most dramatic phase of the event: a "ring of fire" effect of the moon silohuetted by the sun.  

      Tuesday's sun show is known as an annular solar eclipse, an event in which - at its best - the moon is outlined by a dazzling ring of sunlight when it blocks most, but not all, of the sun. But during Tuesday's eclipse, that so-called "ring of fire" is only visible from an uninhabited stretch of Antarctica. So partial views from other locales are the best eclipse chasers can see.” –Yahoo News

    

     “This is the bookend to the first eclipse on the Full Moon this month that opened the portal to the intense time of transformation and opportunity. The new moon is a great time to evaluate where you are, what you have learned, what you have committed to, whom you are with, and where you are going. Hopefully the shake-up of the last few weeks will have set you on a track that supports you and is aligned with spirit.” –Power Path School of Shamanism

      We are still in the wake of the grand cardinal square which occurred from April 20^th to April 23^rd.  Especially the cardinal signs of Libra, Cancer, Aries, and Capricorn were affected by this unusually precise harbinger of transformation. A similar eclipse happened 19 years ago on April 29, 1995. Think back on your life back then; this will give you some clues about where you’ll need to go next.
