Ignore the signs at your own risk. Double Eclipse Ramadan coupled with the Pope's possible death is too much to contemplate. Read about the meaning of the first ever double eclipse during Ramadan and what it supposedly portends here

[Jack Black]

That inevitably provokes comment, because of traditions that such a "double-eclipse" is a portent for some unusual event. Ithna'asheri Shi'ites, for example, believe that their Twelfth Imam will reappear after a Ramadan double-eclipse (although those two phenomena will supposedly take place in reverse order, with the solar one occurring in mid-month (5); that will require the moon to suddenly double its speed of movement after the onset of the Holy Month!)

In March/April 1894 (Ramadan 1311), Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (founder of the Ahmadiyya or Qadiani movement in Pakistan) interpreted a double-eclipse as a sign that he was a genuine modern-day prophet (6). ...

It will be interesting to see whether the two total eclipses scheduled to occur during Ramadan 1424 (AD November 2003) - are cited to support a claim similar to that made by Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, or as proof of the significance of some extraordinary event.

Well some people will claim something, sure, but I am skeptical that it is already set up as the kick off point for the BIG ONE and appearance of the (moslem) savior.

The fun thing is we'll know for sure in a little while!
