If that’s too long to wait, two total lunar eclipses are also coming, one in September and another next March. Unlike total solar eclipses, which are visible only along a narrow path on Earth’s surface, total lunar eclipses can be seen by mostly anyone on the night side of the planet.

Skygazers across the UK – and in other parts of the world – are looking up to catch the astronomical spectacle.

Here's what to expect from the new moon and solar eclipse in Aries on March 29, according to astrologer Nina Kahn.
