Do you associate spiritual significance with the coming solar eclipse?

Eh... Personally I tend to see them as illustrative of how chaos and improbabilities can create cool outcomes. But either way, funfact: We on Earth get to experience eclipses which are vastly more awesome than most of the rest of the universe ever sees. In terms of planetary and system formation, it's incredibly unlikely for a situation to arise - like we have - where the moon and the sun are perceived as being the exact same size from a planet's surface. Even time itself is a factor here - the Moon is very slowly being pushed outwards by centrifugal forces, by something like an inch and a half per year. So in some tens of thousands of years, the moon will no longer be close enough to Earth to fully eclipse the sun like it currently can.

If we do end up making contact with extraterrestrial civilizations, Earth might even become a magnet for tourists specifically because of our spectacular solar and lunar eclipses. They're by far our most unique planetary feature, as far as we know.
