What to Do During the Solar Eclipse

The next one takes place on May 20.

The next solar eclipse is on Sunday, May 20.

Whatever you do on this day is your intent of what you would like to be doing for the next six months or until the next eclipse on Nov. 13. This is a Gemini eclipse so most of the positive signs (Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sag and Aquarius) will have an interesting six months ahead. For all the other signs, this is still an important day and you may just have to wait until the Nov. 13 eclipse to make some of your dreams come to fruition, but all in all, an eclipse is a very auspicious day.

Some hints of what to do on an eclipse: Put money in the bank, be with friends and family you want to be with and avoid others you want to ween out of your life, exercise, start a diet, look for a new job (send out resumes), look for a new home (by calling a realtor or going to some open houses), be positive, go out to a meal with those you love so you will have more time to spend with them. Because everyone is so stressed these days, you may wish to spend some time reading, meditating, praying, watching TV, walking around the neighborhood or in a local park, resting, and doing whatever you feel is right for you to calm down and to rejuvenate your body, mind and spirit.

DO NOT pay bills or you will have more bills to pay in the next six months; do not use credit cards to buy impulsively or you will be buying stuff you don't need and will be in financial trouble in a short period of time. If you do housework, you will be obsessed with doing it at least until the next eclipse (it happened to me years ago–it was ridiculous, I lived for my house for two years!). Do not schedule any medical appointments or procedures and try not to argue with anyone. If you do, make up quickly so you will not have that much of an issue with that person in the next six months. Most of my family, friends, students, and clients now take me seriously since they've been watching eclipses work for years and try to plan a positive day. (I have followed them since I was 14–MANY years ago).

Just have a beautiful day, go to work if you work on Sunday, have a relaxed, uncomplicated and positive day and your next six months will bring you great opportunities, new positive energy and help you to attain your goals and dreams.
