Solar Eclipse 2023: All You Need to Know

Solar eclipse, or Surya Grahan, is a very important event in astrology. There are many kinds of solar eclipse, like total, partial, annular, and hybrid solar eclipses. Every year, there may be around 2 to 5 solar eclipses. An eclipse may signify either new beginnings or endings. During a Lunar eclipse, the mind and soul may be affected. In a Solar eclipse, the body and outer surroundings will be affected.

Let us find out a little more about the different kinds of solar eclipses.

Total Solar Eclipse

This happens when the Moon puts on the umbral shadow on Earth and encloses approximately 1/3rd of Earth’s surface in a few hours. At this time, the Sun exposes its Corona or outer layer. This eclipse is short and may last around 8 minutes at the most.

Partial Solar Eclipse

Partial solar eclipse happens when the Moon casts a partial shadow on the penumbral region alone. Most of the Sun will be visible. But, it may vary as per the location and situation of the Moon.

Annular Solar Eclipse

This is a rare type, but very majestic. Quite different from a total eclipse, an annular solar eclipse is a subdivision of a fragmented eclipse. Think of the Ring of Fire. That is the Annular Solar eclipse. It happens when the Moon goes through the Sun right from the center.

Hybrid Solar Eclipse

This is the second-most rare kind of solar eclipse. It is visible when the Moon is on the edge of the umbral shadow and about to hit the Earth’s surface. Though it doesn’t strike the Earth properly, it does come directly in front of the Sun. First, it will be a total Solar eclipse, but later, it becomes annular again.

Hybrid Solar Eclipse 2023

The first solar eclipse of 2023 will take place on April 20 in the Aries zodiac sign. It has a direct impact on people born under signs like Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn. Also, natives born under signs like Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius will see some major changes. The eclipse will be at its peak for 1 minute.
