What the solar eclipse in Aries on March 29 means for your zodiac sign
The last eclipse of spring 2025 is happening on March 29, following the lunar eclipse earlier this month.
The action will unfold over a period of about 20 minutes on Saturday morning — specifically, from 6:46 am ET through 7:04 a.m. ET, according to Time And Date — and will be visible in eastern North America, most of Europe, western Africa and northern Asia.
A solar eclipse occurs when the moon stands between the sun and Earth. This is a partial eclipse, so the moon will only partly block the sun — not creating the full-on effect seen during the eclipse last April.
Astrologically, solar eclipses mark moments of destiny. The universe is bringing matters to light in unexpected ways, offering us the chance to improve our personal situations. Unexpected and unforeseen circumstances that have been put on the back burner become the focal point, encouraging us to evolve.
Astrologers believe this particular solar eclipse will shake up our lives, bringing in fresh energy and new hopes.
The solar eclipse is in the fire sign Aries, bringing our passions and desires to the forefront of the day's cosmic energy. It's an opportunity to make immense strides in areas that need to transform.
The caveat is that Mercury and Venus retrograde might slow down matters from evolving swiftly, so let growth happen in its time. Be patient and kind, rather than acting out emotions.
We are now moving forward with our dreams and visions at the hands of fate. Now's the time to believe in the big picture of what is to come in the future.
From the moment you wake up, you'll want to jump out of bed and will feel eager to embrace all life offers. Your energy levels and passions will be very high, urging you to be in the moment and to be open to any possibility that comes your way.
The eclipse urges you to take time off from the daily grind and focus on R&R. Before you push yourself to take on more than you can chew, remember that this time is a call to heal your body and mind. Decompress and unwind now.
The world will feel limitless, and you will desire to throw caution to the wind and take risks that feel right. The only caveat is that you may be blinded by your impulsive desires, which is why you should think before acting to ensure you are making the right decisions.
It may feel like a cold splash of water is thrown at you without your knowledge, giving you s wake-up call to get your energy flowing and emotions flowing. Temperaments might be high but at least you are aware of situations.
It's a great time to learn about any fascinating subject matter and discuss your knowledge with others. Intellectual debates are encouraged to open yourself up to different philosophies and perspectives. Read a book, watch a documentary or visit a museum. The more you know, the more you can grow.
Your financial and business prosperity is counting on your ability to step out into the world and let your voice be heard. You have strong opinions, and you cannot hide what you are thinking during the eclipse. Inspires you to discuss your visions with colleagues and management.
Matters surrounding romantic situations can create illusions and unforeseen circumstances. This add to the confusion between what your heart wants and tricks that you once thought love should be based on misconceptions formed from the delusions you believe in. Authentic connections can be made by being honest with your partner.
Not only are you going to feel like you're an equal at the office, but you will finally feel like you've attained professional peace and balance. By the end of the eclipse, you'll have a new vibe and energy that leads you to infinite success due to changes at work.
The good news is that this eclipse will bring you an emotional high, allowing you to take leaps and bounds when starting a new path with your one and only in romantic endeavors. With a possible commitment or recommitment coming, you'll want to share the positivity and excitement with everyone.
Do not settle for anything less than what you deserve. Although you tend to be passive at times to avoid unnecessary confrontation, the eclipse is giving you the strength and motivation to get what you want and need when it comes to relationships and family matters.
Emotions will be high, especially with Mercury's retrograde deepening sentiments and thinking about past wounds. Try to be compassionate with others when asserting your feelings to avoid making a scene or adding drama to a delicate situation with those you love.
As long as you save your pennies for a rainy day, you can be in a position to create a better relationship with money. Try paying off your debts and getting your situation in order to lead you to a freer place.

Blue Origin successfully completes 13th crewed suborbital flight
Blue Origin launched its 13th crewed mission to the edge of space on Sunday morning, sending six civilian astronauts, including a married couple, past the Karman line and back in a little over 10 minutes. The private space program's reusable New Shepard booster rocket ignited and cleared the launch pad tower in the West Texas desert and took about three-and-a-half minutes to travel the 62 miles to the Karman Line, the internationally recognized boundary of space. The trip -- dubbed NS-33 for the 33rd New Shepard mission -- was originally planned for June 21 but had to be scrubbed twice due to the weather, Blue Origin officials said. Passengers on the flight included Allie Kuehner, an environmentalist and conservationist, and Carl Kuehner, chairman of the real estate development company Building and Land Technology, who became the second married couple to travel aboard Blue Origin on the round-trip to the Karman line. The trip marked the third suborbital human spaceflight for the Blue Origin New Shepard program since April 13, when an all-female crew that included singer Katy Perry, CBS News journalist Gayle King, and aviator Lauren Sanchez, who's now the wife of Blue Origin founder Jeff Bezos following their marriage Friday in Venice, Italy. Other space tourists aboard Sunday's Blue Origin flight were Leland Larson, a philanthropist and former CEO of an Oregon school bus transportation company; Freddie Rescigno Jr., president of a Georgia electrical cable company and a competitive golfer; and Jim Sitkin, a California attorney. Also on the flight was Owolabi Salis, an attorney and a financial consultant who became the first Nigerian-born person to go to space. The group lifted off from Blue Origin's Launch Site One, about 20 miles north of the West Texas town of Van Horn, at approximately 10:38 am ET. Sunday's flight lasted about 10 minutes and 33 seconds, allowing the civilian crew a chance to unbuckle from their seats and briefly experience weightlessness in the capsule. The New Shepard rocket, the company's fully reusable and fully autonomous spacecraft, separated from the capsule and returned to Earth ahead of the astronauts, safely descending and touching down on a landing pad not far from the launch site. At approximately 5 minutes and 20 seconds into the flight, the civilian astronauts returned to their seats for their journey back to terra firma. The capsule returned to Earth with the help of three giant parachutes. Sunday's mission was the 13th human flight for the company's New Shepard program and the 33rd since Blue Origin was started in 2000 by Bezos, the 61-year-old billionaire founder of Amazon. Seventy humans have now flown to space on Blue Origin since the company's first human flight in July 2021, according to the company.

July night sky highlights: Bright Mercury, full Buck Moon and a meteor shower
Skywatchers across North America will want to be on the lookout for a trio of celestial events during the next month, beginning with an opportunity to view Mercury in the evening sky, followed by the month's full Moon and concluding with the annual return of the Southern Delta Aquarid meteor shower. On July 4, Mercury will reach its greatest eastern elongation from the Sun, making it visible from Earth. While not as bright as during the spring, astronomers say the rocky planet will briefly be visible on the western horizon after sunset. Mercury is notoriously difficult to spot due to its proximity to the Sun and Earth's light pollution. See The Objects Humans Left Behind On The Moon One week later, on July 11, the full Moon, which is often referred to as the Full Buck Moon, will grace the skies. The name has its origins in Native American folklore and refers to the time of year when male deer, or bucks, begin significant antler growth. According to the Farmer's Almanac, Earth's only natural satellite is also called the Thunder Moon, because of frequent summer thunderstorms, and the Hay Moon, which corresponds with peak grass growth. The Moon is set to peak in illumination at 4:36 p.m. EDT, meaning the best times to view it will be the night before, on July 10, or after sunset on July 11. Due to the lunar body's orbit, this full Moon is neither a supermoon nor a micromoon, but many people typically snap photos of it while out and about on summer evenings. For some students, it's actually the last full Moon before the return to school in August. See Renderings Of A Space Station To Be Built Around The Moon Rounding out the month, the Southern Delta Aquarid meteor shower will peak during the overnight hours of July 29 and July 30. The meteor shower is typically active from mid-July through mid-August; however, the visibility of the event can vary. This year, viewing conditions are expected to be favorable thanks to the Moon's waxing crescent phase, which will result in minimal light interference. Astronomers say that under clear, dark skies, skywatchers may see up to 20 meteors per hour during the peak. The best time to attempt to view the show is between midnight and dawn each night. One of the more anticipated meteor showers of the year, the Perseids, will also become active in mid-July and last through late August. The Perseids are expected to reach peak activity on the night of Aug. 11 and the early morning of Aug. 12. According to NASA, the Perseids are known for producing numerous fireballs, which makes the event even more article source: July night sky highlights: Bright Mercury, full Buck Moon and a meteor shower

Blue Origin rocket launch: How to watch livestream of next human spaceflight
Blue Origin will provide a livestream of the launch, taking place from a private ranch in West Texas. A spaceflight that was delayed a week ago could commence this weekend as Blue Origin plans to once again attempt to launch a rocket that will take a group of six people to the very edge of space. The mission, known as NS-33, will be the 13th human spaceflight Blue Origin has conducted since 2021, when billionaire Jeff Bezos, the company's founder, boarded a New Shepard spacecraft for its maiden flight. The next six people selected to board the launch vehicle are set to join an exclusive club of more than 60 others who have flown on the brief 11-minute missions in the last four years. Awaiting them about 60 miles above Earth? A few precious moments of weightlessness in the crew capsule, and stunning views of space and the ground below. It's an experience the rest of us can only imagine, but at least those interested can watch the launch from West Texas from the comfort of their own home. Here's what to know about the next Blue Origin launch, as well as how to watch a livestream of the mission. When is the next Blue Origin launch? Blue Origin's next crewed launch, known as NS-33, was due to get off the ground Saturday, June 21. The company first opted to delay the mission to Sunday, June 22 due to "persistent high winds" before announcing at 5:48 a.m. CT that mission operators were once again postponing the launch "due to weather." The mission is now being targeted for 8:30 a.m. ET (7:30 a.m. CT) Sunday, June 29, Blue Origin announced. Backup opportunities are available if the launch is scrubbed again on Monday, June 30, according to a Federal Aviation Administration operations plan advisory. Where are Blue Origin launches? Blue Origin New Shepard rocket launches take place from the company's private ranch facility known as Launch Site One. The facility is located more than 140 miles east of El Paso near the U.S.-Mexico border. How to watch the Blue Origin New Shepard take off Blue Origin will provide a webcast of the launch beginning about 30 minutes ahead of the scheduled liftoff on its website. What is Blue Origin? Billionaire Jeff Bezos, best known for founding Amazon, is the founder of the private space technology company Blue Origin. Bezos himself even boarded Blue Origin's New Shepard for its maiden crewed voyage in July 2021, which came after the spacecraft flew on 15 flight tests beginning in 2012. For nearly four years since its first crewed mission, the New Shepard spacecraft has served as a powerful symbol of Blue Origin's commercial spaceflight ambitions amid a growing space tourism industry. In addition to sending space tourists on brief joy rides to the edge of space, Blue Origin has also increasingly sought to compete with Elon Musk's SpaceX. Blue Origin's massive New Glenn rocket, which flew on its inaugural flight test in January 2025 from Cape Canaveral, Florida, is also being developed for future spaceflights. At 320 feet tall, the spacecraft rivals SpaceX's 400-foot Starship in size. Who is going on the New Shepard? What to know about NS-33 Here's a look at the passengers on the next Blue Origin New Shepard spaceflight, known as NS-33: What happens during a New Shepard rocket launch? Each spaceflight on a New Shepard vehicle lasts about 11 minutes from liftoff to capsule touchdown. Named after astronaut Alan Shepard, the first American in space, the 60-foot-tall New Shepard rocket is topped with the gum drop-shaped crew capsule. The spacecraft operates completely autonomously, meaning no pilots are aboard. During its ascent, the spacecraft reaches supersonic speeds surpassing 2,000 mph before the rocket booster separates from the crew capsule. At that point, those aboard the capsule become weightless as the spacecraft continues toward its highest point on its brief voyage above the Kármán Line – the 62-mile-high internationally recognized boundary of space. While experiencing a few minutes of microgravity, passengers have the opportunity to unstrap themselves from their seats to gaze out the capsule's large windows and take in a stunning view of Earth. Meanwhile, the rocket booster heads back to the ground while firing its engines and using its fins to slow and control its descent to land vertical about two miles from the launchpad. The capsule itself eventually begins what Blue Origin refers to as a "stable freefall' – plummeting back to Earth as three massive parachutes deploy and the capsule makes a soft landing in the desert, sending up plumes of dust.
