Eclipses in astrology, historically, are moments of great changes. They can be turning points that bring about self-realization, so it might have a positive outcome in your life… or they can lead to difficulties. That’s why it’s important to know how the partial solar eclipse can impact you, not only during its passing, but in the several months that follow. So, mark your calendar on Oct. 25 from 2:28 p.m. EST to 6:32 p.m. and check out how this cosmic event can impact you, based on your sign.
