The peach is classified with the almond in the subgenus Amygdalus, distinguished from the other subgenera by the corrugated seed shell. Peach and nectarines are the same species, even though they are regarded commercially as different fruits.
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.
A solar eclipse occurs when the new moon passes directly between the Earth and the Sun (Figure 24.23). This casts a shadow on the Earth and blocks our view of the Sun. A total solar eclipse occurs when the Moon's shadow completely blocks the Sun (Figure 24.24).
