This is a great month for eclipses and kicking it off right is the partial solar eclipse happening this Sunday, September 13.

It will be visible only from South Africa, Antarctica and locations in Indian and Atlantic Oceans.

It's the last solar eclipse of the year, and the next won't come around until March 9, 2016.

In astrology, solar eclipses are associated with shifts and new beginnings in our lives. It is a super-charged New Moon and its effects last the following 6 months.

When the eclipse happens worldwide

The eclipse starts at one location and ends at another. The times below are actual times (in UTC) when the eclipse occurs.


* Local times shown do not refer to when the eclipse can be observed from Dhaka. Instead, they indicate the times when the eclipse begins, is at its max, and ends, somewhere else on earth. The corresponding local times are useful if you want to view the eclipse via a live webcam.

However, the effects are strongest in the month leading up to it and in the month following, but most potent within a week of the eclipse.

We usually have 2 of them per year but can have up to 3 in some years.

Depending on your specific day and time of birth, the eclipses influence different areas of your life unique to you.
