Temperature at the airport is 88 degrees, which is stupid, man, ’cause i don’t know anybody who lives at the airport.

Think of the Scorpio solar eclipse at 7:50 am EST Sunday as a tropical air, train, ferry or bus terminal, and you will have it aced. First, it will be more than one thing, with many things happening at once. Also, it’s not where anybody resides, but it is where hot weather is rightfully monitored. It’s to be a place of arrivals, departures, connections, loss and findings, where time itself often changes. Most of all, Sunday’s solar eclipse will not be an end so much as a transition.
The most obvious transition for many will be the change from Daylight Savings to Standard time just hours before the hybrid (part total, part not) solar eclipse. The annual “fall back” feels like a loss for many, which fits.
One of the correlations that gives eclipses an undeservedly bad name is their association with loss. It does not have to be a bad thing. You can actually participate with an intent to lose what you are better off without, such as bad habits. Another way to go with the flow is to practice releasing attachment to things lost which truly feel like a loss. Such a practice will help you set healthy and useful pattern.
All eclipses correspond with pattern setting, but this one has it in spades. That’s because Scorpio, the location of Sunday’s solar eclipse, is a fixed sign (as are Aquarius, Taurus and Leo). It also has to do with Saturn’s proximity to the New Moon conjunction of the luminaries (Sun and Moon) and lunar North Node that will constitute the eclipse.
