Annular Solar Eclipse of September 1, 2016
A large annular eclipse will cover 97% of the Sun on Thursday, September 1, 2016.
The whole event will last from 06:13 - 12:00 UTC and will be visible across central Africa southwards to Madagascar and into the Indian Ocean. The partial eclipse will be visible across most of Africa and parts of the Middle East.
The instant of greatest eclipse will take place at 09:06 UTC on September 1, 5.4 days before the Moon reaches apogee and 10 days after perigee. During the eclipse, the Sun is in the constellation Leo.
At the point of maximum eclipse, it will last 3 minutes and 6 seconds.

This eclipse belongs to Saros 135 and is number 39 of 71 eclipses in the series. All eclipses in this series occur at the Moon’s ascending node. The Moon moves southward with respect to the node with each succeeding eclipse in the series and gamma decreases.This annular solar eclipse is followed two weeks later by a penumbral lunar eclipse on September 16, 2016.

An annular solar eclipse occurs when the Moon's apparent diameter is smaller than the Sun's, blocking most of the Sun's light and causing the Sun to look like an annulus (ring). An annular eclipse appears as a partial eclipse over a region of the Earth thousands of kilometers wide.Links for the Annular Solar Eclipse of September 1, 2016:

This is the 4th of 5 Solar Eclipses occurring in the polarity of Virgo and Pisces, which started in March 2015. This is a 2.5 year period in which we are creating powerful changes, with an emphasis on moving toward the Virgo side of the polarity, as this is where the North Node is located during this period. The Virgo themes get really amplified during the month of this eclipse because of Mercury retrograding in the same sign, and it also the last Solar Eclipse in Virgo of this series.
Considering that these planets will be having their final square, occurring near eclipses and during Mercury Retrograde, there is a strong theme of really needing to get realistic with our dreams, delusions, and/or lack of groundedness. Saturn is at the apex of this pattern and it represents discipline, restriction, boundaries, commitment, reality, and focus. It is in the sign of Sagittarius, which represents our beliefs, perspectives, and higher education. 
order to transcend them? What do you need to do to improve your health and overall well-being? Some people have been experiencing health complications, which is the body trying to get your attention to make positive changes. Pay attention to any signs like that.
