Total solar eclipse in Gemini: astrology meaning
A solar eclipse is a supercharged New Moon. Astrologers read it as a sudden opening or fresh start around everyday communication, siblings and short trips (Gemini). It falls near the North Node, traditionally the side of the axis linked to growth and new direction. The Gemini–Sagittarius axis matters most if you have planets or angles within a few degrees of 9°13′ Gemini or Sagittarius.
It is the New Moon of May 1965.

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.
