Question by xmusicismylifex: I'm looking for a young adult fiction novel on lunar eclipses.?
I read it a few years ago, and I can't remember the name of it for the life of me. It's about a lunar or solar eclipse. I think one of the characters name's was Amy or something along the lines of that. The title had something to do with Looking to the Stars. There were three main characters I think another one of them was Bree. There was definitely a sundial involved. Sorry about the minimal information, any suggestions at all would be very helpful. It was also realistic fiction, and is most likely categorized as a romance.

What is the astrological impact of having so many consecutive solar and lunar eclipses?
Question by ḯґḯṧℌ ẘґ☤ṧ⊥ ẘ@☂ḉ♄: What is the astrological impact of having so many consecutive solar and lunar eclipses?
in the next few months we'll have several Solar and Lunar eclipses, one right after another.
June 1 solar eclipse in Gemini
June 15 lunar eclipse in Sagittarius
July 1 solar eclipse in Cancer
These intermixed with a Full moon in Capricorn (July 14ish), new moon in Leo (July 30)
What is the impact of all this activity?

Answer by MichelleThere really isn't enough room to answer this as well as I'd like, so I'll beg your indulgence to give you a taste of what else you can explore after I say some of this.
Eclipses can tell you quite a bit about things going on in your life. For example, not just the Sun and Moon, but even the other planet will help you to see some pictures you may or may not like to see. I still remember one eclipse in particular when Saturn opposed my Mars in my chart. I'll tell you it was by far one of the most miserable experiences in my life, and it kept coming back to haunt me each and every time that degree was touched by transit until the next eclipse rolled by. I no longer remember if it was a Solar or Lunar Eclipse, and in the broader scope of this explanation, it doesn't really matter.
If it takes place during a Solar Eclipse, then you will see this kind of event based on tension or whatever is relevant to the planetary "exchange" with your natal chart each time that degree is touched till the next eclipse of the same type comes into play. You want to take into consideration which houses will be affected as well as the points of your natal chart that will be touched, and note that the greater impact is *usually* going to be with the Sun, but don't ignore the Lunar Eclipse. That too is important.
In 2000, there were 3 eclipses in one month, just as there will be this time. Two weeks before the Solar Eclipse on July 1, 2000, I had a major head injury that required stitches to repair a severed artery. The transiting Moon was opposing the Solar Eclipse point. During the week of the incoming Lunar Eclipse on July 16, I was robbed of all our possessions. Luckily, my children and I weren't there. And on July 31 that year, there was another Solar Eclipse, and I ended up with a gift of over $ 500.
Also be aware that your Pre-Natal Eclipse Points are important. The Pre-Natal Solar Eclipse Point appears to be connected to "fated" encounters with people and events. The Pre-Natal Lunar Eclipse Point requires a bit more attentiveness to see how it affects you. It appears to be linked more broadly through all of the planets in your chart, whichever one is being touched by that eclipse.
Hope this helps a bit.

Q&A: What's the difference between solar and lunar eclipses? Land and sea breezes?
Question by Rad R: What's the difference between solar and lunar eclipses? Land and sea breezes?
I lost it in my notes. LOL. Please help me compare the similarities and differences between solar and lunar eclipses and land and sea breezes!
Thanks, peace!

Answer by NogaA solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the Sun and the Earth so that the Sun is fully or partially covered. This can only happen during a new moon, when the Sun and Moon are in conjunction as seen from the Earth. At least two and up to five solar eclipses can occur each year on Earth, with between zero and two of them being total eclipses.Total solar eclipses are nevertheless rare at any location because during each eclipse totality exists only along a narrow corridor in the relatively tiny area of the Moon's umbra.
A lunar eclipse is an eclipse which occurs whenever the moon passes behind the earth such that the earth blocks the suns rays from striking the moon. This can occur only when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are aligned exactly, or very closely so, with the Earth in the middle. Hence, there is always a full moon the night of a lunar eclipse. The type and length of an eclipse depend upon the Moon's location relative to its orbital nodes.
Land breeze: At night, the land cools off quicker than the ocean due to differences in their specific heat values, which forces the dying of the daytime sea breeze. If the land cools below that of the adjacent sea surface temperature, the pressure over the water will be lower than that of the land, setting up a land breeze as long as the environmental surface wind pattern is not strong enough to oppose it. If there is sufficient moisture and instability available, the land breeze can cause showers or even thunderstorms, over the water. Overnight thunderstorm development offshore due to the land breeze can be a good predictor for the activity on land the following day, as long as there are no expected changes to the weather pattern over the following 12–24 hours. This is mainly because the strength of the land breeze is weaker than the sea breeze.The land breeze will die once the land warms up again the next morning.
Sea Breeze: (or onshore breeze) is a wind from the sea that develops over land near coasts. It is formed by increasing temperature differences between the land and water which create a pressure minimum over the land due to its relative warmth and forces higher pressure, cooler air from the sea to move inland. Generally, air temperature gets cooler relative to nearby locations as one moves closer to a large body of water.
