Solar Eclipse Ritual:

A Lamp of the Art, (Candle) lite just before it begins, representing the old and put out at its start.
Along with a New Lamp lite at its the finish.
With appropriate petition list (wish list) burned in the first Lamp just before you put it out of what should end, die, diminish.
And a second petition list burned with the lighting of the second Lamp of what should Start, Grow, Mature, etc.
Scatter or grind the ashes of the first petition on, into the ground at the center of Eclipse. Releasing your first spell.
Blow the ashes Sunwise (into the Sun after the end of the Eclipse of the second petition releasing your second spell. Saving the Eclipse Energy: Lite a small fast burning Lamp at the beginning and put it out at the end, saving the melted wax for future spells. One could also mix oils etc during the Eclipse to save this energy. And yes, of course, this all should be done outdoors facing the Eclipse but not looking into the Sun without Correct Eye Protection. I like using the pin hole in an open box method casting an image of Eclipse on the end side of it.
