Sensitive souls will often feel eclipses building as they approach. This is because eclipses often act as major catalysts in our lives!

Eclipses historically acted as a symbolic gateway for faster growth, a time of rapid change internally and externally. This solar eclipse is a perfect time for us to focus on internal change because the sun represents focus on our personal goals and to our external self. It expresses our personality, self-expression and some tangible ways that we do in the world. Ask yourself, what do I want to give and share with the world?

A solar eclipse creates changes in our external circumstances when we are not aligned with what we truly want on a soul level.

On Thursday, June 10, Northern and eastern sections of North America will experience a rare celestial event when the Moon will pass between Earth and the Sun. The Moon will show slightly small and blocking most of the light of the Sun and causing it to look like an annulus. The name derives from the Latin word annulus which means “ring.” This annual solar eclipse is also called the "ring of fire" because at mid-eclipse, a ring of the Sun’s disk can be seen around the Moon.

This is the first solar eclipse of the year and will start at 01:38 am in Los Angeles, will peak at 2:32 am and then finish by 6:30 am.

Who will see the partial eclipse?

The partial eclipse won't be visible everywhere. Here are some locations that can view the eclipse and that includes northern and eastern Canada, far-northern Alaska. In the United States, it is visible from the northern Midwest, and along the East Coast (except Florida). It also falls upon the North Atlantic Ocean and Europe, then on western and northern parts of Asia.

Those in Manhattan will be able to see 72% partial solar eclipse. If you’re in Rochester 78%, and Boston is 72%. In Canada, Toronto will see 80%, and Montreal 79%.

In Europe, 20% partial solar eclipse can be seen in London while Reykjavik in Iceland will see 60%.

How to Safely View the Eclipse

Avoid looking at the solar eclipse through your naked eye as this may cause eye damage or blindness. Always use eye protection if you’re going to watch an annular eclipse. You need to use solar eclipse glasses to look at this event and remember to put solar filters in front of any binoculars or camera lens that you’re using. Don’t look using your camera’s optical viewfinder instead use the LCD screen.

Take the advantage to find a good spot to view in the direction of sunrise or else you might miss it completely because the second and last solar eclipse this year will happen on Dec 4, though it will be able to be seen only from Antarctica, those who lives in southern Africa, including Namibia and South Africa, can take a glimpse of it.

Since solar eclipses are like very powerful new moons, Take this time to set intentions and make choices that align you with the life you want and love!
