Some web links about it:
Space.com - Total Solar Eclipse 2017: When, Where and How to See It (Safely)
I don't feel like writing in depth about this or anything else, but, just thought I'd point that out, since it's so rare.
I only heard about it because a local library's ebook site recently acquired the book The Solar Eclipse of 2017.
And also due to some health issues such as fatigue, which I'm guessing astrology probably can't help me with, and possibly might even make worse, such as by wasting time I could have spent on more helpful things.
In fact, I might as well point out I still welcome donations and microdonations.
Generally, the more money I have, the better I feel, which might make me more likely to fully recover from my health issues and get more interesting things done, such as eventually, future editions of the Eryss astrology software.
But, there's still plenty of room for improvement. I'm hoping exercising a lot more will greatly improve my energy.
Also, I'm still mostly unreachable, since I'm still not checking my public email addresses, since I've been trying to avoid stress. I don't know when I'll resume checking that email, but probably not in the near future.
Currently, not even a donation or microdonation can get my attention quickly, because I have my PayPal messages filtered too, because anything related to money stresses me out. For now, the less I think about money, the better.
Thanks again to everyone who ever donated!
There's going to be a total solar eclipse visible in parts of the USA on August 21, 2017!
As for why so little has been happening here at Eryss.Com for so long - I've been paying hardly any attention to astronomy and even less attention to astrology lately, due to being preoccupied with other projects, some of which are on my GitHub page.
However, even though I still don't trust astrology at all, I am sort of looking forward to Jupiter transiting my 2nd house, since that's supposed to be associated with good financial luck, and like most people, I could always use more of that.
I've already been doing much better lately compared to the past several years. (Which I guess might be fitting for Jupiter lately transiting my 1st house. Especially unusually, I actually gained some weight, some of which I'd like to lose!)
The Eryss.Com Forum has been closed for maintenance for a long while, but someday will be reopened when I figure out how to block spam more effectively.

Today, while googling exercise bike-related stuff, I stumbled across a news story about a bike which can produce 24 hours of electricity from 1 hour of pedaling!
Which is such amazingly good news, it inspired me to post this blog post to Non24.com:
The better off and more free of poverty and other oppression the world - and I myself - become, the more happy I'll be to spend a bit more of my time and energy on my old, impractical, but still sometimes fun, astrology hobby.
And perhaps that will happen sooner than I ever guessed, thanks to brilliant new technology such as the Hans Free Electric Bike hopefully saving the world. :-D
And to make this more on topic for Eryss.com, I'll point out:
