There’s a ‘Ring of Fire’ Solar Eclipse This Weekend
June 19, 2020 at 04:00PM Summer solstice 2020 is serving up more than just the longest day of light in the northern hemisphere. For the first time since 1982, this notable cosmic event dovetails with a “ring of fire” solar eclipse that peaks at 2:41AM EDT on June 21. During a solar eclipse, the moon sits directly between the Earth and Sun, also referred to as a conjunction (or meetup at the same sign and degree of the Sun and the moon). During this brief time, the moon can block out the Sun’s light, temporarily disconnecting us from our sense of reality. Astrologically, eclipses are provocative moments, where the only thing constant is change. Unsettling information may come to light, and whatever has been sitting in the shadows must be reckoned with. During these turbulent times, resolution often requires a revolution. As old structures and systems are exposed, they may tumble to ruin in order to pave the way for a new way of life to be born. The eclipse will happen on Sunday, June 21 During the June 21 solar eclipse, both the Sun and moon are in Cancer, the zodiac’s heart-centered nurturer. This is the sign that rules our homes and homelands, our ancestral roots and financial security—all areas of life that are undergoing extreme transformation this year. As this eclipse arrives with a new moon, it may herald unprecedented ideas and actions. A “ring of fire” solar eclipse. Author | Elle Selected by CWC
Kate Middleton Dresses Casually in Skinny Jeans, Vest, and Sneakers for First In-Person Event Since Quarantine
June 19, 2020 at 02:01PM The coronavirus pandemic is not over, but in a testament to the UK’s progress in containing the virus, Kate Middleton went out for her first in-person event today. The Duchess of Cambridge visited the Fakenham Garden Centre in Norfolk to talk with its owners and staff about how the center has been affected by COVID-19. The center is close to the Duchess’s country home, Anmer Hall, where she, Prince William, and their three children Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis are quarantining. Kate dressed casually for her visit, pairing skinny jeans with a Jaeger mint button-up, Fjällräven brown vest, and dark green sneakers. Kate did not wear a mask; she did, however, appear to keep about six feet apart from the people she spoke to: centre owners Martin and Jennie Turner and members of their staff. The CDC and WHO recommend that people wear a mask in public where there is widespread community transmission of COVID-19 to help prevent its spread. This applies especially in cases where six feet of separation between people cannot be maintained, although the WHO defers to local authorities to instate area policies.

Kate spoke about the feelings of frustration that come with being in quarantine, telling the kids: “We all have our ups and downs, especially when things change in our lives
Inside the Movement to Make Juneteenth a Nationally Recognized Holiday
June 19, 2020 at 02:00PM The first enslaved African people were brought to stolen Indigenous land in August 1619. From that day onward, Black Americans and their allies have fought a relentless battle against white supremacy that included property damage, harrowing freedom escapes, armed rebellions, and more. It’s important that we name this truth: Black people have always been invested in and actively working toward our own liberation. On January 1, 1863, President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation, yet this message wouldn’t make it to Texas until June 19, 1865. Only then were all formerly enslaved Black Americans notified of their freedom. The first Juneteenth celebration was organized in 1866 and has often been commemorated through the building of political power (early events doubled as voting rallies) or pooling resources for land purchases, such as modern-day Emancipation Park in Houston, Texas. RELATED STORY The Storied History of Juneteenth It’s essential that we understand the context around Juneteenth and how hard Black Americans have always had to fight for our just due. That even when laws are passed outlawing racist practices, those laws are ignored. That we rise from the ashes, more glorious and more committed to our freedom than we previously thought was possible. That our celebrations are vehicles for chipping away at the project of white supremacy. It’s that legacy of resilience we celebrate, one that should cause the entire country to pause and show reverence. This year, Bay Area-based collective HellaCreative is working to make sure people across the country do just that. So far
