Recommended attitudes/ strategies for the day:
There is an annular solar eclipse with ?path of annularity? that is a strip about 300 km wide and thousands of km long. It stretches from China and Japan, across the Pacific Ocean, to the middle of North America. In the United States, the afternoon sun will become a luminous ring in places such as Medford, Oregon; Chico, California; Reno, Nevada; St. George, Utah; Albuquerque, New Mexico, and Lubbock, Texas. Eclipse visible from southern USA, central America, central equatorial south America and Africa. Those living in areas of visibility of the ecipse and born under the following stars ? Krittika, Uttaraphalguni, Uttaraashaada, Rohini, and Bharani must perform remedial measures to overcome the impact of the eclipse on their charts. This eclipse is not visible in India. This is a good day for initiation into occult routines and contemplative activities. However, absent-minded errors during this period can prove very costly for your prospects. Try to maintain your cool even in the face of irritating circumstances at work.


Activities that are highly favoured:
Intake of new medicines; learning new subjects; opening new accounts; performing remedial measures; gathering herbs and preparing ayurvedic palliatives; first feeding of solid food for infants (in places where the eclipse is not visible); learning fine arts.

Activities that are preferably avoided:
Surgery on the neck region; long journeys towards East and Southwest.

General numerological guidance for the day:
3 and 9 borns will enjoy better luck than others; 6 borns should maintain a low profile.
