“She’d already been hinting that during the next eclipse we slam pot lids together to scare the frog from swallowing the moon.”

And if you’re looking for the monthly forecasts, visit moonsigns.net. I don’t take as dire a view of eclipses as most of my colleagues, but Gemini, Sagittarius, Pisces, and Virgo should tread lightly and presume nothing right now.
