Wednesday March 29th 2006 will be a very special day in Turkey. Shortly before two o'clock in the afternoon local time an eerie darkness will descend across the land. Birds will begin to roost and streetlights will flicker on as the sun slips behind the moon in the first European total solar eclipse this millennium. Standing in the path of a total solar eclipse is a dramatic and awe-inspiring experience. To watch the light fade from the sky and to see the last fiery wisps of the sun's disk be engulfed by the black moon is a stunning spectacle that stays with you forever. Adding to the thrill is the fact that the path of a total solar eclipse beats a track through Europe very rarely. The last was in 1999 when the path of totality passed through Cornwall (SW England); the next will be in 2026 when totality touches Northern Spain. The eclipse begins across Turkey at around 12:45 in the afternoon, more than an hour before totality is reached. These early stages of the eclipse will go largely unnoticed. It is not until some 25 minutes before totality, when the sun's disk is more than half-covered, that it becomes noticeable that the light is fading. The ensuing half an hour is then nothing short of magical.At t-minus 20 minutes the air is filled with the sounds of birds settling down for the night. A chill starts to circulate in the air and although the sun shines high in the sky, an eerie gloom reminiscent of a dull winter's afternoon establishes itself. The light only fades slowly at first, but with 5 minutes to go the onset of darkness becomes ever more apparent. By this time the birds have gone quiet and little in the way of daytime wildlife stirs. In the last minute the light falls more rapidly as if it were late twilight, and with only seconds to go a huge dark shadow sweeps in at speed engulfing you in almost complete darkness, although the horizon all around you appears lighter. Looking at the sun, wisps of fire can be seen around the dark disk; close-by stars shine out from an ink-black background. Then, all too soon, the sun reappears in a dazzling display and totality is over. For the best views of the total solar eclipse in Turkey, you'll need to locate yourself in the path of totality - a 100-mile wide swathe of darkness that runs northeastwards from Antalya on the Mediterranean coast to Samsun on the Black Sea. Outside this zone the eclipse will still be visible, but it will never reach totality. International travelers should arrange their flights into Istanbul from where internal flights to Ankara and Antalya can be caught. The path

Taurus Full Moon and Sagittarius New Moon With a Solar Eclipse in November
Fear has been in the air and riots in the streets! We all have at least friends and family who have fallen on hard times, lost their houses or their jobs. We feel strongly what is happening because of that deeper inner connection of oneness or you could call it the morphogenetic field. It is easy to get caught up in anxiety and fear.Being a mom means you are the center of the family- the healer, the shepherd. You are setting the emotional tone nourishing the needs of your kids and partner. If you don't feel good - nobody in your family feels good. Self-care is absolute paramount for you these days! By taking care for your own needs first you are taking care for your family. Only a full cup of water can sustain their thirst!The question is how can you balance yourself? How can you find your place in all this? How can you step up with courage into the unknown and the new horizon of consciousness? And how can you be of help for others? Astrology is holding some answers for you because it gives you the conscious awareness for higher or lower choices based on the energetic, archetypal fields involved.Following the Lunar astrology with the magic points of the Full Moon and New Moon you can learn to align yourself consciously with the universal currents and navigate the choppy waters more graciously.Full Moon in Taurus November 10After having five planets in Scorpio as well as the New Moon in Scorpio at the end of October, the intensity is leveling out a bit. With Taurus you are invited to take care for your body, your needs and find out how to balance yourself within the demands of the physical world. Step by step Taurus moves ahead, faces reality and what needs to be done. Most of October, in the Scorpio period, things were stripped away and maybe changes were forced onto you. Now Taurus will help you to integrate and make good practical use of those insights and revelations. Chopping wood and carrying water, enlightened or not, attuning to practical demands of life is crucial.New Moon in Sagittarius Marks a Solar Eclipse and Mercury Turning RetrogradeA new cycle starts with the most gregarious, outgoing sign of the zodiac. Your attention is pointed outwards and towards growth and fortunate manifestations. It is a time to ask yourself: where you have been holding back and underestimated yourself? It is a month to step up to the plate, play your hand fully and take some risks. Communications will have obstacles and you need to keep the bigger picture in mind.
