— from Nancy Ayer for Emmanuel Episcopal Church —
On Monday August 21, come walk the labyrinth on the Emmanuel Green. The partial solar eclipse for Seattle begins at 9:09 a.m. Monday, August 21. It will be at its maximum at 10:20 a.m. It ends at 11:38 a.m.
This auspicious time as described on elitedaily.com is “a spectacle of personal and communal growth. As you might notice, around eclipse time, everything — events, feelings, thoughts — take on a more fated quality. In astrology, eclipses are like a portal for exponential growth. Specifically, eclipses are a time of rapid change, either from internal or external circumstances. We are forced to face change in a way that might be uncomfortable, but that ultimately lead to maturity. Lunar eclipses and solar eclipses are both times when sudden changes occur in our lives.”
