Watching the eclipse in a perfectly clear sky. Unfortunately, because the eclipse point was almost exactly conjunct my natal Neptune, which is configured in an opposition with Mercury aligning along the sixth / twelfth house digestive immune axis in my natal chart, and Neptune forms a very precise sesquiquadrate (minor hard stressful aspect) to my relocated Ascendant in Albuquerque, and is also the ruler of my relocated Ascendant in Pisces there, the eclipse was associated with a bad intestinal infection that I suffered, which seems quite similar to the terrible blastocystis hominis infection that I brought back with me from India the last time I visited there. Perhaps some bad bug from India hitched a long ride in a bag of lentils or rice - I had been eating at an Indian restaurant in ABQ frequently for the week before the eclipse. I developed tooth problems on a recent visit to California. I could've stayed in So Cal and gone down to TJ for dental treatment, but I decided on the spur of the moment to go to ABQ, because I knew a dentist there who gave me very good treatment in the past, but along the way, I called my storage facility in ABQ from Parker, AZ and they told me about the eclipse, and when it would be happening - I said to myself - OMG - have I gone from the frying pan into the fire by stumbling into this eclipse? But on the bright side, this root canal and filling, after terrible inflammation the first two days, is healing nicely, and is now awaiting the crown, which will come on Thursday. And, I was able to buy a copy of Cassidy Hutchinson's book and send it to my sister in San Francisco, who introduced me to Democratic Underground, as a birthday present. I also totally forgot about the Balloon Fiesta, which made all accommodations in Albuquerque, especially reasonably priced ones, unavailable - so I have been sleeping in my car for the past couple of weeks while going through with this dental treatment.
