This coming Monday (8th April) marks the arrival of a celestial marvel that occurs merely once in every 400 years – the Total Solar Eclipse. This rare phenomenon offers an unparalleled, once-in-a-lifetime chance to witness day turn briefly into night.
As we gear up with eclipse glasses to view this momentous event, questions arise about its impact on our pets, plants, and even our personal zodiac signs.
To shed light on these curiosities, the adept astrologers at Psychic World have collaborated with the renowned celebrity psychic and astrologer, Inbaal Honigman. Their insights delve into the spring milestone’s significance and how to navigate it.
Total Solar Eclipse: A Guide for Pet Owners
Concerned about how to prepare your pet for the eclipse? There’s no need for canine eclipse glasses, nor should you coax your pets into sun-gazing, during the eclipse or at any other time.
Our furry friends naturally steer clear of direct sunlight, given their aversion to intense brightness. Thus, the solar eclipse this April is unlikely to pose a direct harm. However, akin to their restlessness before a thunderstorm, pets might experience psychological shifts due to the sudden change in sunlight, mistaking it for a storm’s approach.
Keeping your pets indoors during this event is advisable, especially for those sensitive to weather fluctuations.
Embracing the Total Solar Eclipse
This eclipse isn’t just a celestial event; it’s a harbinger of fortune. Witnessing the moon obscure the sun, casting a temporary shadow over the Earth, promises a moment of darkness followed by a significant return of clarity, as per astrologers.
Inbaal Honigman explains: “An Eclipse could change the weather, as temperatures drop, and can change the body’s natural wake/sleep pattern, causing sleep problems. It can even confuse farm animals. It is seen as a time of worry – the ancients would believe that the Sun is about to abandon the Earth at the time of the eclipse.
“As the light leaves us temporarily at the time of the Solar Eclipse, this can be seen as an opportunity for darkness to thrive – lies and secrets are seen out in the open, and dishonesty can be noticed and called out.”
Preparation involves the use of special glasses for safe eclipse viewing, anticipating traffic disruptions, and avoiding driving during the event to mitigate glare-related accidents.
Zodiac Insights: Eclipse Effects on Star Signs
“Inbaal adds: “The Sun itself is the ruler of the sign of Leo, so this sign would be affected during the eclipse. Leos like to be admired and seen, they thrive on attention and positive reinforcement. The shadowy nature of the eclipse could bring the Leo back down to Earth and they’ll struggle to thrive away from full sunlight.
“The Eclipse will take place in the sign of Aries, which means those born under the sign of the Ram would feel the wrath of the Sun. Aries is a direct and fearless fire sign, who is happy to face big decisions head-on. The Solar Eclipse is a tough time for Aries, as their directness is brought into question, and secrecy is favoured over blunt honesty.”
Viewing the Eclipse
The Total Solar Eclipse will grace the skies of numerous U.S. states, Mexico, and southeast Canada, with New York enjoying a prime view shortly after 2pm EST.
In the UK, the spectacle can be observed from most of Wales, Scotland, northwest England, and the extreme southwest, between 19:55 and 20:18.
Both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland will witness the partial eclipse.
For those unable to view it firsthand, a live broadcast will be available on Space.com, ensuring no one misses out on this extraordinary event.
