The LONGEST ANNULAR SOLAR ECLIPSE of the third millennium will take place on January 15th, 2010. One will not see another such phenomenon in one’s lifetime, because a similar solar eclipse will be visible only in 3043!
This is an annular solar eclipse, where the Sun is visible like a ring of fire with the Moon hiding its centre. Most of India, however, will only see partial phases of the eclipse.
Unlike popular belief, a solar eclipse brings positivity, so says astrology. Old things come to an end and there are new beginnings. There are bound to be changes in each person’s life, suggesting that we will be called to develop new skills and talents through independent effort.
This eclipse occurs at 25°01' of Capricorn, the sign of the Sea Goat(Capricorn), in conjunction with Venus on the day Mercury turns direct after many weeks of a backward(retrograde) movement. So, it should be beneficent and pleasurable, releasing built-up tension, and leading strongly towards a brand new beginning for the world and its people.
You will find that you suddenly feel powerful, mentally and emotionally. Countries that are able to see the eclipse are likely to be affected(Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe). One may expect any kind of sudden changes- political, natural or financial.
Astrology says, that at this annular solar eclipse, we: begin something new, make resolutions, decisions, promises and plans, change, mature, take on greater challenges, travel more, feel impatient pressurised by deadlines, emotional or experience a crisis.
