Solar eclipses, which always arrive with new moons, can be a bit like power outages. Trouble is, eclipses aren’t exactly cakewalks. Libra is the sign of balance, peace, beauty, and harmonious relationships. This is also the very first eclipse to land in the sign of Libra since March 23, 2016. Though the cosmic event is exciting on its own, astrology takes it one level deeper. When the eclipse reaches totality, the glowing edges of the sun peek out around the silhouette of the moon, giving the appearance of-you guessed it-a ring of fire. Unlike a total solar eclipse, where the moon appears so large that it blocks out the entire sun and darkens the skies, during an annular solar eclipse, the size of the moon is smaller than the sun from our vantage point down here on Earth. And yes, it will be visible in several states, including Oregon, Nevada, New Mexico, and Utah. On October 14, the year’s only Libra new moon is also an annular solar eclipse-i.e. Just grab your eclipse glasses and head west of the Rockies. No need to watch a Johnny Cash rockumentary if you want to catch a “burning ring of fire” this fall.
