A hybrid eclipsealso known as an annular-total eclipse, is a rare event in which the shadow of the Moon is projected on the Earth and, in certain areas, the Moon completely covers the Sun; while, in other areas, it covers it only partially.
This happens when the moon it’s enough close to the earth and its cast shadow is small enough that totality is only visible in a very small area, while only an annular eclipse is visible in other areas.
This April 20, the Moon’s shadow will pass through the east of AsiaNorthern Australia and some Pacific islands. The zone of totality will begin east of China and will move eastward, passing through the south of Japanthe ocean Calm and ending north of Australia.

THE crisis which is generated might have to do with the need to rearrangement, rearrangement or life problems that require more attention and energy.
This eclipse occurs in 29th degree of the sign of Ariesdirected by Marsplanet associated with initiative, energy, leadership, courage, impulsiveness, impatience, independence and action.
