Interesting read about the solar eclipse, today...

Solar Eclipse
October 3, 2005
10 degrees Libra 19
5:29am

An eclipse occurs when the orbits of the Moon and the Earth align closely enough together with the Sun to block the light of the Sun from the Earth (a Solar eclipse), or the moon (a Lunar eclipse). Solar Eclipses are very powerful New Moons. Every month we have a New Moon, but only every six months do we have a Solar Eclipse. A Solar Eclipse occurs when the Moon passes directly between the Sun and the Earth and blocks the sun?s rays from the Earth. They herald significant endings and beginnings. The Solar Eclipse on October 3 , 2005 occurs at 10? Libra19 at 6:27am. All Libra Sun Sign people will be most affected by this Solar Eclipse as will those with Libra rising. As a rule, eclipses occur in the same sign for eighteen months, always in pairs consisting of a new moon and a full moon and two weeks apart. This Solar Eclipse will be followed by a Full-Moon Partial Lunar Eclipse on October 17 at 24 ?Aries 13 at 7:14 am. Eclipses help us break old patterns and make major changes in our lives. They require reappraisal and restruct- uring, often on a drastic scale. Just as we are feeling comfortable, they shake up our thinking so that we might move forward to a new level of evolution and maturity. If a Solar Eclipse occurs in your birth sign or is in strong aspect to one of the planets in your natal chart, especially your ascendant, one thing is certain: Your life will be changed forever!! All Libra natives have started going through some massive life changes about a year ago, and will continue through this phase for yet another year as another eclipse hits Aries/Libra natives March 29, 2006! Your ascendant, or rising sign, is the ruler of your first house. Your first house rules YOU!!!! So, if your ascendant is Libra (your birth time will determine this) you will see dramatic changes in your life as your whole perception of who you are changes. Ultimately, changes in how you are perceived by others will affect your personal AND business relationships (7th house).

As with all eclipses, this Eclipse will set the stage for significant new life directions for all of us. You will find yourself redoing your life from your toes to the top of your head. Your appearance may be radically new and improved to reflect the massive changes going on within you!! You will feel an urgency to take bold steps to refocus your life path and priorities. Depending on the area of the your chart that is activated we can determine what part of your life will be most affected. To see how this eclipse will affect you personally - other than Aries and Libra folks - read on!!

Aries natives experience change in marital status. Jupiter joins forces to produce a good outcome. If one relationship ends, another, better one is just behind it.

Taurans will see their place of work change dramatically in the coming months. Flaws in the home are revealed so you can fix them.

Geminis see obstructions to your plans and happiness "explode" and when the dust settles you find a new freedom. Look for important changes to your love life.

Cancers see forced financial changes, a move and perhaps an upheavel with family. The whole domestic situation is changing as a new pattern wants to form.

All Leo?s are strongly always affected by a Solar Eclipse as Leos are ruled by the Sun. Your body, image and personal appearance will change. Your body might start cleansing itself of impurities-this is not sickness- just cleansing. Electrical equipment will be tested-throw out what isn?t of use any more.

Virgos see the earnings and financial life of their partner change. Expect a turning-point in any involvement you have with royalties, insurance or property. Dreams are exceptionally memorable.

Librans are in for a bold change. Many ideas about yourself that were once true are no longer valid. A friendship is tested, upheavals in an org
