Total solar eclipse in Pisces: astrology meaning
A solar eclipse is a supercharged New Moon. Astrologers read it as a sudden opening or fresh start around intuition, dreams and endings (Pisces). It falls near the South Node, traditionally the side of the axis linked to letting go and endings. The Pisces–Virgo axis matters most if you have planets or angles within a few degrees of 29°53′ Pisces or Virgo.
It is the New Moon of March 2034.

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.
