Candles are a leading cause of home fires and fatalities. Soot on the walls and furnishings is unsightly, and may also be a sign of serious problems. It may also be unhealthy, as inhalation of minute particles of soot has been documented to cause health problems.
It is a popular misconception that the phenomenon of a total eclipse of the sun is a rare occurrence. Quite the contrary. Approximately once every 18 months (on average) a total solar eclipse is visible from some place on the Earthâs surface. That's two totalities for every three years.
Eclipses have powerful effects, especially when they connect with personal planets, such as your Sun sign. When this happens, the influence can last for months. Eclipses occur in pairs, sometimes in a threesome, about every six months. There are two types of eclipses, a Solar and Lunar. A Solar Eclipse is a super-charged New Moon.
