You will feel the hand of the universe at your back, pushing you hard, and when you turn around to say, "Excuse me?" the universe will not take your hint to stop, but only push you harder.
Eclipses are forceful tools that the universe uses to evolve us into more mature individuals. They push us forward, ready or not. After they are over, if they are mathematically significant to our charts, we feel different, as if we have walked through a new threshold into a new realm. Sometimes the event feels like a rite of passage. We cannot ignore the message of an eclipse, because if we say to the universe, "Hey, I am not ready to deal with this now, so can we just attend to this later, please?" the universe will simply bellow forth a deep belly laugh and continue to do what it pleases to get you to pay attention and respond. You cannot delay any message an eclipse presents.
