Solar Eclipse or MoonShine vs WifeShine
During the total solar eclipse, the moon covers the sun. The moon aligns with the sun, and the sun allows the moon to bathe in its aura.
This is a MoonShine.
A husband is like a sun, and a wife is like a moon.
When he follows the Torah and she helps him in that task—aligning herself with him, being on the same page with him in life goals, values, and priorities—he grows, and one day he will become a luminary—a sun. That's when, as the moon, she will bathe in his aura.
When Rachel wanted to go through the crowd to see Rabbi Akiva, no one allowed her, and that's when Rabbi Akiva said: "Let her through. All the Torah that you have and all that you know is because of this woman. All that I have become is because of this woman".
This is a WifeShine.
Rachel bathed in the aura of her husband, Rabbi Akiva, just as the Moon bathes in the aura of the Sun during a total solar eclipse.
