Join us to view the total solar eclipse with like-minded people A total solar eclipse is a rare and spectacular event. On average, one happens somewhere on the Earth only once every 1.5 years. Only 21 total solar eclipses have crossed the lower 48 states in the entire existence of the United States. The last total solar eclipse visible in Ohio was in 1806. The next total solar eclipse in Ohio will be in the year 2099.

In some cases, looking at the sun without protection can cause permanent retinal damage. But what about when the sun’s light is completely obscured? According to NASA, there is a brief window of time during the total eclipse when the moon fully blocks out the sun’s light, in which the sun is safe to view. This is the period known as totality. However, you’ll still need eye protection during the transition phases, when the moon is covering and then uncovering the sun. To safely view an eclipse through all of its stages, use specialty eclipse glasses or a handheld solar viewer. Fortunately, both are inexpensive.
In astrology, a solar eclipse is often viewed as a potent time for new beginnings. It's seen as a doorway to significant life changes, offering opportunities to reset, rethink, and start afresh. The blocking of the Sun, a symbol of light and clarity, invites introspection and encourages individuals to look inward, reassess their paths, and make substantial changes.
Solar eclipses catalyze rapid and sometimes unexpected transformations. These can manifest in various aspects of life, such as career, relationships, personal growth, or spiritual development. The energy of a solar eclipse is believed to accelerate events, bringing to the surface issues that have been simmering and demanding attention and action.
