I have great interest on learning the power of Solar Eclipse in mundane and personal horoscope. So I spent some time and found the following information.

According to NASA records, the last two Hybrid Solar Eclipse were on 20th March, 0071 and 17th April 1912.

[1] Apart from an Anglophile element supporting the British, public opinion went along with neutrality at first. The sentiment was strong for neutrality among the

There is belief the power of Solar Eclipse can be felt 3 months prior the eclipse and as long as 3 years post eclipse.

In large scale as in mundane scale, it might be suggestive of world changing event.
