Solar Eclipse August 21 2017

A solar eclipse occurs August 21, 2017. It’s exact by degree at 11:30 a.m. PDT, 28 degrees 52 minutes Leo.

Overall, eclipses symbolize difficulties rather than rewards, but solar eclipses are characteristically easier than lunar eclipses.

I agree with time-honored astrological tradition; a “this (a single astrological event) equals that (a specific life circumstance)” doesn’t exist in real astrology.

Today’s astrology featuring almost exclusively sporadic cosmic events is an adulterated form of the ancient science. Authentic astrology demands pattern recognition involving hundreds of (mostly non-sporadic) factors.

Even so, you can glimpse the symbolism of astrology by tracking single factors like eclipses. Or, perhaps you’re one of those rare, exceedingly psychic individuals who can use single factors as touchstones for consistently accurate divination. Generally, lunar eclipses symbolize endings, and solar eclipses beginnings.

As outlined in this blog post, a lunar eclipse occurs August 7, 2017. It’s exact by degree at 11:10 a.m. PDT, 15 degrees 25 minutes Aquarius.

How the symbolism relates to you depends on the patterns in your comprehensive astrology charts. For some this eclipse will be inconsequential, but for others the eclipse and the associated patterns represent key life events and circumstances.

However, about three weeks before and a few days after an eclipse, perception tends to be distorted. Basically, things that seem to be okay may not be, and other things are better than they appear. Bad decisions are a hallmark of eclipses. My findings show this applies to everyone, some more so than others.

Be careful with significant investments, legal contracts, and other high-risk endeavors, including high-risk physical activities.
