Cheers To New Beginnings…and New “Boyfriends”

Were you one of the millions of people who slipped on a pair of ISO 12312–2 compliant shades to turn your eyes to the sun this week? Whether you thought it was a magical moment or sort of meh after months of hype, you have to admit it was pretty amazing to be a part of such a movement. To take a moment out of the day and just be in awe of nature is rare. I love the idea that the eclipse could represent new beginnings, astrologically speaking, according to a writer at Forbes. And my astrology hero, Susan Miller, says of eclipses: “During an eclipse period, it is as though you will walk over a rickety old bridge….you may be a little nervous. Once you make it to the other side, the bridge will collapse and you will see the pieces fall far into the deep, perhaps making you jittery. You will never again be able to walk back over to the other side… for the universe wants us to make progress…The only way with an eclipse is forward.”

And so we must. To new beginnings!
