August has a lot of energy in the air, and among the month’s most important astrological events are two eclipses: a total solar eclipse and a partial lunar eclipse. Although both are eclipses, they are very different and have distinct effects. So if you want to enjoy this celestial spectacle, you should know how to prepare and where and when you can see them.
Everything You Should Know About the Total Solar Eclipse
First, we’ll have the total solar eclipse on August 12. This will be a total solar eclipse because the Moon will come between the Earth and the Sun, completely covering the Sun. This will cause the sky to darken as if it were getting dark, revealing the Sun’s ring around the Moon and, in some cases, the stars. However, you cannot look directly at this type of eclipse, as UV rays would damage your eyes. If you’d like to view the eclipse, special glasses are available, but be sure to look for ones that are properly certified.
We’ve already looked at the astronomical aspect of this eclipse. As for astrology, it indicates that when the Sun is covered, it will be during the conjunction with Leo, which is still in its solar season. Therefore, the horoscopes will experience increased energy, confidence, and creativity. It will be similar to experiencing an inner rebirth after overcoming the fear of closing your eyes, trying something new, and not hesitating to show ourselves exactly as we are.
Where Will the Solar Eclipse Be Visible?
Among the places where it will be visible are Greenland, Northwest Africa, Russia, Canada, and the northern United States. However, it will be much less visible from California to North Carolina. In Europe, it will extend from the northwest to parts of Spain and Portugal, where visibility will be limited.
Everything You Should Know About the Partial Lunar Eclipse
The second eclipse will be a partial lunar eclipse on August 27–28. In this type of eclipse, the Sun, Moon, and Earth are almost perfectly aligned in a straight line. As a result, the Sun illuminates one side of the Earth, casting a shadow behind it through which the Moon passes. In this case, it is a partial eclipse because the Earth’s shadow covers only part of the Moon’s surface. No eye protection is needed to observe a lunar eclipse.
Astrology shows the lunar eclipse will occur in Pisces, a sign deeply connected to intuition and deep emotions. This will be the perfect time for horoscopes to deal with feelings that have been buried and finally confront them with the intention of healing them. It’s an opportunity to free yourself from emotional burdens.
Where Will the Lunar Eclipse Be Visible?
The countries where the eclipse will be most visible include Greenland, the central and eastern United States, Canada, Mexico, and some Latin American countries near the Atlantic Ocean, extending as far south as Brazil. Although it will be partially visible along the western coast of the United States, some parts of northeastern Africa will also be able to see this celestial event.
