Saros 1 North
urgent decision · fresh idea · unexpected information · hasty start
Theme
The 1 North series carries newness energy. Eclipses in this series quickly bring information, open unexpected opportunity doors, but can catch a person unprepared. Per Brady, the theme is "renewed meaning" — the old plan collapses, an intuitive direction takes its place. The August 11, 1999 eclipse was the most visible member: it crossed Europe end to end and was at the center of "millennium predictions." The next eclipse was the August 22, 2017 "Great American Eclipse" cutting across America. Each member carries an information-bombardment quality.
