Annular solar eclipse in Aries: astrology meaning
A solar eclipse is a supercharged New Moon. Astrologers read it as a sudden opening or fresh start around impulsive decisions, independence and new starts (Aries). It falls near the South Node, traditionally the side of the axis linked to letting go and endings. The Aries–Libra axis matters most if you have planets or angles within a few degrees of 28°35′ Aries or Libra.
It is the New Moon of April 1958.

What does this eclipse mean in astrology?
A solar eclipse is a supercharged New Moon. Astrologers read it as a sudden opening or fresh start around impulsive decisions, independence and new starts (Aries). It falls near the South Node, traditionally the side of the axis linked to letting go and endings. The Aries–Libra axis matters most if you have planets or angles within a few degrees of 28°35′ Aries or Libra.
Is it safe to watch?
Only with certified ISO 12312-2 eclipse glasses or a solar viewer for every partial phase. Looking at the Sun directly or through sunglasses, a camera or binoculars without a solar filter can damage your eyes. Only during totality itself, if you are in the path, is it safe to look without protection.
