For specialists in astrology, the topic of eclipses is interesting from a professional point of view. Eclipses for them are a separate topic for a special conversation. We are more interested in the practical application of the coincidence of stellar and planetary circumstances. That is, how can one use in life the special influence of the planets on certain days with a perspective setting.
Since ancient times, eclipses have been considered dangerous omens; for the most part, misfortunes, wars, epidemics and other problems for humanity were expected when they occurred. Some believe that this is due to the fact that most astrological work used to be carried out directly for the ruling elite, eclipses often became a point of dramatic changes, and not always positive for the existing government, but for the common people such political changes did not bring anything good.
Therefore, lunar and solar eclipses were always expected with caution, but today the approach to them has changed somewhat, as people have realized that any deviations from the existing norm can always be used as an opportunity for spiritual and material growth. When two of the largest bodies visible in the sky close each other, it cannot be that such an event does not leave a positive imprint on our lives, if used correctly.
For some, solar and lunar eclipses are still considered a great rarity, since, most likely, in their lives they managed to become a visual witness to such an event once, well, or twice. Which is quite understandable, because for the most part we perceive an eclipse as an eclipse if it was total. And visually, a certain place will experience it only once every 361 years.
In reality, the Earth experiences eclipses every year four or five times: two or three lunar and two solar. The lunar ones always occur on the full moon, and the solar ones on the new moon. During this period, a certain parade of three planets takes place - the Sun, Earth and Moon become in one line.
When the alignment is inaccurate, a partial (or partial eclipse) occurs and is considered less powerful than total. However, as practice shows, a partial lunar eclipse, like an incomplete solar eclipse, can activate a personal natal chart. That is, to make some adjustments in the course of your life. And it happens twice a year. Twice a year we receive a planetary "kick" to implement adjustments in our lives, the effect of which is felt almost immediately after receiving it.
What will we get from the partial lunar eclipse of August 2017?
Despite the fact that an eclipse, by definition of the word, should eclipse something, the reverse situation occurs. For you, it will become more obvious and open that which you still do not guess today. In view of some aggressive planetaryity on August 7-8, don't be surprised if some rather weighty and loud revelations suddenly happen. And this applies not only to the state sphere, it can happen at the family level. If you were severely deceived, you fell into the hands of scammers or became an unwitting participant in some kind of fraud (of course, without even knowing about it), then on the 7-8th, all the secrets carefully hidden from you will be revealed to you.
Lunar eclipses, as a rule, occur at the moment of the full moon, which implies the logical conclusion of some situations. This year, it primarily concerns relationships, work activities. You may suddenly want to part with some friends and acquaintances for some period or forever, stop exhausting love affairs, change the type of activity, and even refuse to develop a business. But not every change will be accompanied by bitterness and resentment. Since it will look like a kind of cleaning from everything that has lost its meaning.
Therefore, this lunar eclipse and the week following it are best used to cleanse your karma, soul, get rid of karmic debts, negative programs by all possible methods. Getting rid of the negativity, it is easier to make plans for the future and change your life for the better.
What should be done at the time of the eclipse and a week after it?
On the day of the eclipse on August 7, it is better to give up meat, make an approximate list of what you would like to get rid of, what problems are oppressing you, in order to work specifically on this issue during meditation. And it is also necessary to remember the insults that you caused to other people and that were caused to you by them in order to work on the technique of forgiveness during the meditative procedure.
Some do not recommend eating at all on the day of the eclipse in order to achieve physical cleansing. We believe that it is enough to give up heavy food and starchy foods to achieve the same effect. It is important at this stage not physical, but spiritual cleansing.
Taking water procedures in the form of a contrast shower (cold / hot for men, hot / cold for women) before meditation will have a beneficial effect on the entire cleansing process. After meditation, you can take inside a glass of energetically charged water (containing holy, baptismal or charged with cosmic energies).
Meditation can be done lying on your back, head to the north. Beforehand, do not forget to light candles and turn on relaxing music. Concentrate your mind on remembering your own image, transfer to it all the negativity accumulated throughout life and compress this image to a small point, which you then destroy in a candle flame or a flash of purple.
Then imagine your image again, filling it with positive energy of light, love and happiness. Fix this state in your memory. To get rid of negativity as much as possible and fill yourself with pure energy within a week after a lunar eclipse, it is recommended to conduct at least two more such meditations. In this way, you will be able to prepare your soul and body for the formation of programs for the future at the Solar Eclipse on August 21 and for their effective launch for 19 years.
What to do during an eclipse to reach a fundamentally new level? Find a solution to a problem?
What to do if on the day of the eclipse you already have an important event planned, for example, a court?
There are special rituals that help change the situation during significant events.
To be honest, I am wary of rituals. Not because I don’t believe in them, but because I often don’t understand what exactly works. It is also a big question what side effects they cause.
I looked at several options for rituals and chose the one that is most understandable, simple and explainable.
This practice for lunar eclipse allows you to change patterns of behavior, emotional reactions and thoughts. What is the change in your life.
The first thing to do is get ready.
Preparation
1) Before the eclipse, you should not eat meat, seeds and nuts for one, and preferably three days.
Meat is considered a heavy and polluting food.
2) It is even better if you spend at least one day without food before the eclipse.
Favorable days for fasting, see the lunar calendar "Rhythms of Life" - section "Health" - "Cleansing the body." Buy calendar
BUY "Rhythms of Life" under the PROMOTION and receive GIFTS
3) It is IMPORTANT to make your intentions as clear as possible. Try to formulate your problems and desires clearly and clearly IN ADVANCE, so that later it will be easier to formulate all this on paper during the ritual. Think about what you want to change and get a feel for whether you like what you want.
Think seriously, imagine yourself and live situations with already existing changes. However, before making decisions about changes, Ask yourself if you are ready for the desired changes? After all, the results of the Eclipse cause changes for 18.5 years or even more. So it's important to be ready to embrace change.
4) Before and after the ritual, it is important to take a shower or bath. Because water relieves stress and cleanses you both physically and energetically. Dress up with clean clothes.
If you are taking a bath, then add salt. If you have a shower, then finish the procedure with a contrast shower: men begin and end with cold water, women with hot.
It may seem that there are too many actions that need to be done, but they all help to tune in to the practice, to rebuild from everyday current problems, and create the right attitude.
5) Prepare 2 candles (one white (considered the color of protection), the second - wax), paper and a pen.
Practice
Ideally, practice should be carried out in the maximum phase of the eclipse. You can turn on unobtrusive relaxing music to create an atmosphere.
1) It is better not to eat anything, just drink water.
2) Mentally imagine that you are not tripled in your life, describe your attitude to the problem. What worries and worries you write it down. When you write read written, analyze what feelings you experienced while reading. If you don't like some wording, correct it. But if you think everything over in advance, then things will go faster and better.
3) Burn the written sheets over dishes specially prepared for this. When you burn imagine that all your problems are burning and leaving, everything unnecessary, superficial, interfering with you. Sweep the ashes on the street with the confidence that you have got rid of the unnecessary and negative.
4) Then take new leaf And imagine what you dream about What do you want to attract into your life, what do you want to have and receive.
Put your thoughts on paper you can make some drawings. After writing, re-read everything written. This is your plan for the near future. While reading, imagine those situations that will affect the changes in your life, attract good luck, success, prosperity, necessary people to you.
Save everything written and drawn, to work more consciously with this action plan to change and improve your life after the ritual.
5) After completing the ritual, sit for a while, once again become aware of yourself and the desired changes. Complete the ritual with full confidence that only positive events will occur in your life.
6) Put the candles in a safe place and let them burn to the end.
7) Take a cleansing bath or shower and drink water. Do not tell anyone about the ritual, so as not to waste your positive energy accumulated during the ritual.
For at least two weeks, and better if you use the new moon cycle after the new moon, spend several times a week time for the desired changes. Imagine how you will feel when they appear in your life, think about them, plan your actions in such a way as to reproach their approach.
Choose suitable Lunar days for this, not critical ones. By doing this, you will set yourself up for favorable changes in your life. Changes begin to occur only when a person begins to believe in them and is ready to accept them.
Favorable lunar days: 20, 21, 24, 27, 28 lunar days.
Unfavorable lunar days: 19, 23, 26, 29 lunar days.
How it works?
Fasting and fasting is a cleansing of the body and strengthening of the spirit, which allows you to slightly “rise” above ordinary desires, to become stronger than the call of your stomach.
Thinking and writing down your desires, analyzing problems and emotions on paper is an ordinary psychological practice. It helps to better understand your problems, desires, emotions. You can carry out this practice in everyday life on a regular basis.
Candles (fire), water - the connection of the energies of nature that surround us in everyday life and give us additional strength.
When you combine all of the above at the time of an Eclipse, a rather rare natural phenomenon, you get an “explosive mixture” that can become an impetus for serious changes. So think seriously, do you really want this?
In the Eastern tradition, they often come to the fact that they do not want anything. Because the fulfillment of desires changes the way of life of a person. Are you ready for change?
Given here practices for lunar eclipse will allow you to get rid of failures in work and personal life, illnesses, damage, enemies, unpleasant habits, even change patterns of behavior, emotional reactions and thoughts. Choose one :)
I remind you:
The beginning of the full shadow phase - 22.23
The moment of the maximum phase - 23.13
The end of the total shadow eclipse is June 16 at 00.04.
The total duration of the shadow eclipse will be 1 hour 41 minutes.
1). Eclipse ritual:
Need to:
2 cups of pure water (still).
Candle.
An hour before the eclipse, you need to drink a glass of clean water in slow sips, take a contrast shower (for women, start and finish with hot water).
It is necessary to choose green clothes, light a candle, sit looking at the fire, think about your life.
Look in the mirror and lie with your head to the north. Relax, mentally see your reflection - as in a mirror. Think about the fact that it is not you, but it (the reflection) is sick, smokes, drinks, worries and is shy, it has complexes and problems.
The reflection will begin to change. Squeeze it to the point and exhale away from you.
Lie still. Get up, put out (but don't blow out!) the candle. Take another contrast shower. Drink a second glass of pure water.
2). Ritual for the eclipse
Before the eclipse, you should not eat meat, seeds and nuts for one, and preferably three days.
A white candle will be required in any situation, since this color serves for any type of protection and cleanses from any kind of negative energy, helps in any area of life. For the ritual, it is also worth choosing one candle of the color that is most strongly associated with your main desire, formulated for this eclipse. Red color serves to protect health, strength and physical energy, from accidents, positively strengthens the sphere of sex and passion, eliminates cowardice, fears, horror, gives courage and enthusiasm. However, with an already existing disease, it is better not to use red color so as not to cause an exacerbation. Pink color gives protection in the sphere of love, friendship, emotional connections, strengthens the sense of self-worth. Orange color serves for personal protection of the body and personal items. Yellow color serves to protect in action, movement, road, during important conversations and the conclusion of contracts and agreements, as well as in matters related to intelligence and science. Green color serves to protect partnerships, loved ones, especially children, as well as your workplace. Gold color is best used for desires in the field of money and property. Blue color serves to protect domestic happiness, family relationships, high and religious feelings. Violet color serves to protect the spiritual realm, during meditation and with an existing illness. Gray color serves to protect the achieved social position, power, influence and prestige. The dark blue color serves to protect order and enhance stability. The bronze color serves to protect animals and plants, and is also good, if necessary, to strengthen the elements of the Earth. The silver color serves to protect against evil spirits, it is recommended during sleep, as well as in all magical rituals associated with the quarters of the moon. Black color attracts the forces of evil, so it should not be used in rituals.
For the ritual, you will need sea salt and essential oils of orange, bergamot, lemon or rosemary. These essential oils increase mindfulness, especially rosemary. A good mixture in equal proportions of rosemary and lemon. However, if your nervous system is somewhat overexcited, then it is better to use orange or bergamot oil.
The ritual also requires one white and one candle of the color of your choice (only two, no more), as a few sheets of white paper (preferably not lined), a pen, a record player with records from the New Age or any music or sounds of nature that soothes you, as well as a container where you can burn paper. As a second candle, I usually use pink, yellow, green or silver.
The ritual is performed on an empty stomach. Drink a glass of mineral water an hour before the ritual. You can add a slice of lemon and a teaspoon of honey to the water if there are no contraindications.
Half an hour before the eclipse, take a cleansing bath with salt, adding 5-10 drops of your chosen essential oil or mixture, rinse under the shower. You can only take a shower. Clothing should be clean and preferably light-colored.
Light a white candle and the color of your choice, turn on calm music, relax and begin the ritual to change your life.
Something you want to remove from your life, something vice versa to attract. Think seriously, imagine yourself and live situations with already existing changes. Ask yourself, are you ready for the changes you want? It is very important to be ready for change.
So, concentrate on the main and necessary. Mentally imagine what and who interferes in your life, then describe your attitude to the problem. What worries and worries you. When you write everything that you wanted to write, read what was written, analyze what feelings you experienced while reading. And burn the written sheets over the dishes specially prepared for this. When you burn, imagine that all your problems are burning and leaving, everything unnecessary, superficial, interfering with you. Develop the ashes on the street, you can through the window, with the confidence that you got rid of the unnecessary and negative.
Then take a new sheet and imagine what you dream about, what you want to attract into your life, what you want to have and receive. Put your thoughts on paper, you can make some drawings. After writing, re-read everything written. This is your plan for the near future. While reading, imagine vividly everything that is written by you, those situations that will affect the changes in your life, attract good luck, success, prosperity, necessary people to you. You should meditate, imagine and live what you have written. Save everything written and drawn to work more consciously with this action plan to change and improve your life after the ritual.
After completing the ritual, sit for a while, once again become aware of yourself and the desired changes. Complete the ritual with full confidence that only positive events will occur in your life. Put the candles in a safe place and let them burn out to the end. Don't blow out the candles! Take a cleansing bath or shower.
For at least two weeks, and preferably if you use the new moon cycle after the new moon, take time several times a week to meditate on accepting the changes and living the changes themselves. Choose suitable Lunar days for this, not critical ones. By doing this, you will set yourself up for favorable changes in your life. Changes begin to occur only when a person begins to believe in them and is ready to accept them.
Do not tell anyone about what you did, so as not to waste your positive energy accumulated during the ritual. It is important!

From the Vedic point of view, a solar or lunar eclipse is, in principle, unfavorable, including for any actions and undertakings (this is an unfavorable muhurta). But if the actions are connected with the spiritual life of a person, with the service of God/Absolute, then the time of the eclipse can and should be used for spiritual practice.
Since during a solar eclipse the shadow graha [planet] Rahu covers the Sun, and the rays of the Sun are vital for both the Earth and all living things, the interruption of the sun's rays is unfavorable. That is, during solar eclipses, we receive not the light of the Sun - not the light of life, but the radiation of darkness emanating from Rahu (Rahu is a graha [planet], the northern lunar node, located at the intersection of the planes of the lunar orbit and the ecliptic). The eclipse removes or reduces solar energy (life-giving “prana”) for the entire Earth, therefore both people and all creatures suffer.
During an eclipse, consciousness is darkened, the mind is poorly oriented in events. In a general sense, a solar eclipse creates a beneficial effect on society, which increases the tension in it and supports destructive tendencies. This influence lasts for one year.
According to Jyotish [Vedic astrology] and Vedic traditions, it is recommended to observe certain rules during solar and lunar eclipses:
- do not look at the eclipse;
- do not leave the premises (and even more so not be on trips or travels) and is in a closed room;
- do not eat 3 hours before and after the eclipse;
– do not drive a car or at least do it carefully;
– avoid financial transactions;
- do not get married;
- do not buy expensive things;
- do not take loans and do not lend;
Doctors know that an eclipse can negatively affect the well-being of even a practically healthy person. The impact of this natural phenomenon on behavior and well-being begins to be felt two weeks before their onset. Meteorologically dependent people are especially affected.
Research by medical scientists has proven the undeniable impact of a solar eclipse on a person. Medical studies have been conducted on dozens of healthy and sick people. Studies have shown that the human body begins to react to this natural phenomenon as soon as the solar disk is covered by the Moon. An hour after the beginning of the eclipse, the blood pressure rose in hypertensive patients, the vessels narrowed, and the heart increased the power of blood ejection, blood began to flow unevenly to different hemispheres of the brain. The nervous system was clearly disabled. Physicians expected that all these phenomena should occur only two days after the eclipse, when cosmic rays from the sun would reach the Earth.
The moon is a luminary that is very close to us. The Sun gives energy (masculine), and the Moon absorbs (feminine). When two luminaries are at the same point during an eclipse, their energies have a strong impact on a person. There is a powerful load on the regulatory system in the body. Especially bad with health on the day of the eclipse for people with cardiovascular pathologies, hypertensive patients. People who are currently undergoing treatment will also feel bad.
Even doctors say that on the day of the eclipse it is better not to engage in activity - actions will be inadequate and more likely to make mistakes. They advise to sit out this day. To avoid discomfort with health, they recommend taking a contrast shower on this day (which, by the way, would be good to take not only on the days of a solar eclipse, but regularly, every day). In the morning, dousing should be finished with cool water, it tones, and in the evening - warm.
In 1954, the French economist Maurice Allais, observing the movements of the pendulum, noticed that during a solar eclipse, he began to move faster than usual. This phenomenon was called the Allais effect, but they could not systematize it. Today, new research by the Dutch scientist Chris Duif confirms this phenomenon, but cannot yet explain it. Astrophysicist Nikolai Kozyrev found out that eclipses affect people. He says that during eclipses time is transformed.
Scientific data on the development of the embryo and certain scientific studies show that the influence of the rays of the Sun is more powerful than the rays of Jupiter. Including pregnant women are not allowed to go out during solar or lunar eclipses, and those who neglected the danger and did so received an abnormal child. The explanation of the connection between these events is not explained by modern science.
The consequences of an eclipse in the form of a powerful earthquake or other natural disaster are very likely within a week after any eclipse. In addition, instability in the economy is possible for several weeks after the eclipse. In any case, eclipses bring changes in society.
During a lunar eclipse, the mind, thinking and emotional sphere of people are very vulnerable. The number of mental disorders in people is increasing. This is due to the disruption of the hypothalamus at the psychophysiological level, which corresponds to the Moon according to the discovery of Tony Neider (Nader Raja Rama). The hormonal cycles of the body can be disrupted, especially in women. During a solar eclipse, the work of the physiological correspondence of the Sun - Thalamus is more disturbed, and the risk of cardiovascular diseases will also increase, since the Sun controls the heart. The perception of the Atma ["I", pure consciousness] is clouded. The consequence of this may be increased tension, radical and aggressive tendencies in the world, as well as the unsatisfied ego of politicians or heads of state.
The sun in astrology symbolizes the spirit of man, his consciousness, his "I", his self. Moon - Soul, subconscious, unconscious processes, what psychologists and psychotherapists are trying to treat, but for some reason not always successfully. And now substitute in the phrases "eclipse of the Sun" and "eclipse of the Moon" instead of the words Sun and Moon what you just read. And you no longer have to be surprised at unmotivated antics, rudeness, tearing roofs, mental imbalance and other cute little things that threaten eclipses.
When hard times come, the best thing we can do is turn to the Absolute. During eclipses, it is better to think about peace in your country and around the world. If people around you are acting like crazy during these tough times, be tolerant and sensitive. Rest (and the deepest rest is the practice of Transcendental Meditation) is the best recommendation during both lunar and solar eclipses.
According to the principles of Jyotish, the ill effects of a significant omen (event), such as an eclipse, increase as time progresses towards the date of that occurrence. Eclipses are the result of the "action" of Rahu - the "demon" who is jealous of Surya [Sun] and Chandra [Moon].
Eclipses tend to have a strong negative effect on 1) the geographic regions that are ruled by the rashi [sign] in which they occur; 2) in places where they are visible; 3) in areas ruled by rashi [sign] (for example, Vrishchika - underground mining).
Studies on eclipses show that the likelihood of various types of catastrophes increases during the "sphere of influence of the eclipse". Events are likely in the next few weeks, such as increased warfare, fires, airport disasters, or unusual meteorological phenomena. Some of the world leaders may fall into a scandal or a tragedy; powerful rulers can be blinded by anger, envy and ego, so illogical or stupid decisions made by world leaders are possible.
Malefic Rahu governs secretive, immoral behavior and cunning, like poisonous smoke that quietly creeps. Consequently, the governments of the world must be extra vigilant in matters of subversion. Political leaders must step up their security and remain cool and calm when they make critical decisions. Smugglers and terrorists often strike during the "eclipse sphere of influence" period. Riots or major food poisonings are possible. Seismic activity is not ruled out. For governments and police forces, vigilance is the most important thing.
eclipses
The most stressful and responsible time in the work of an astrologer comes during periods of lunar and solar eclipses. The number of requests for help is increasing several times. And this is not surprising. Often it is during these periods that great changes, fatal events and unexpected twists of fate occur.
Since most people are afraid of change, believing that changes can be expected for the worse, an ominous role is often attributed to eclipses. “Everything was fine, and suddenly out of the blue ... got into an accident” (wife left, business fell, quarreled with a bosom friend, a child contacted a bad company, etc.) - this is how complaints most often begin.
In fact, the problem has long lived and matured, it was just so deep that the person was not aware of it. During the eclipse, it comes out of the depths. From the "chronic" stage, it passes into the "acute", and at this time it is both better seen and easier to treat. If in the horoscope of a person, the degrees of his planet coincide with the degree of an eclipse, then changes will definitely occur in his fate. When, where and what - all this will be indicated by his map.
Very often during periods of eclipses, diseases become aggravated. On the one hand, it’s not pleasant, but on the other hand, you can’t imagine a better time for diagnosis and treatment. Everything hidden, sick, stale in the depths comes out. This applies not only to physical ailments, but also to our emotions. At this time, long-pent-up anger may flare up, we may be shackled by fear, crushed by depression.
So, in the days of eclipses, it is better not to start anything important material! On this day, usually all negative karma comes out, and can manifest itself in the form of illnesses, accidents, quarrels, etc.
In the Srimad-Bhagavatam, confirmation of this is in the scene where Krishna's stay with his relatives from the holy place of Kurukshetra during an eclipse is described. Of course, the description there is much more colorful and impressive than this simple instruction:
1. 12 hours before and after the eclipse, it is good to fast. If this is not possible, then it should be completely vegetarian food, alcohol, coffee and black tea are also excluded.
2. Favorable to make a donation *
5. Listen to spiritual music or chant mantras
6. At the end of the eclipse, take a full bath from head to toe. If you are in a place of pilgrimage, then take a bath in holy rivers or springs, such as the Ganges, Yamuna, Jordan, etc.
These simple actions are designed to purify our subtle body, psyche, cure diseases caused by negative past karma, and also solve hard-to-solve problems. Of course, this is not a panacea, but a very effective remedy! The Srimad-Bhagavatam also has a description of how to behave during eclipses.
*When we talk about a monetary donation, we mean a donation in goodness, i.e. a person whose consciousness is higher than ours, then we get a benefit. This may be a person engaged in spiritual practices, leading a clean lifestyle.. If we give money to an unclean person, we take his negative karma. If you want to give to a homeless person who is not very pure in mind, it is better to give food. You can donate to the temple. In Moscow, by the way, the Vedic temple, the largest in Europe, is currently being built, and you can make a donation on the website www.moscowtemple.org. As the Varaha Purana says: Whoever builds or helps to build a Vishnu temple will protect eight generations of fathers, grandfathers and ancestors from falling into hell! And in the Skanda Purana, it is stated that one who builds a temple for Krishna will be cleansed of the sins accumulated over seven lives and free his ancestors suffering on the hellish planets.
During eclipses (often in the interval of about a month before and after the eclipse), a person is drawn to start something new, but this should not be done. During this period, objectivity betrays a person, and most often he then repents of his decision. During such periods, you should take care of yourself, restrain ardor and anxiety and think only about the good - however, as always.
Alas, a person rarely pays attention to eclipses and most often it is on them that he starts new business, gets married, changes his profession, and so on. The effects of eclipses can last for years. In ancient times, it was believed that a solar eclipse lasts as many years as it lasts for minutes. For a lunar eclipse, minutes are equal to months.
On the day of the eclipse, it is not recommended to start anything important, because. the eclipse amplifies the slightest negative factors of the vibrations of the day in which it occurs. Cases that will nevertheless be started may be called back even after 18 years. However, if you are confident of success and your thoughts are pure before people and before God, and also if the general characteristics of the day of replacement are favorable, you can act, but remember that for all the deeds and even thoughts associated with the day of the eclipse, sooner or later you will have to keep an answer. A lunar eclipse may have an echo within three months, but the full impact of eclipses ends within 18.5 years, and the more part of the luminary was closed, the more powerful and longer the impact.
Eclipses have a strong impact on all people, even those in whose horoscope eclipses are not emphasized in any way. Naturally, the current eclipse will have a stronger effect on people born on an eclipse, as well as on people whose horoscope is somehow affected by eclipse points. An eclipse is always of particular importance if the degree of the current eclipse affects a planet or other important element of the birth chart. If the eclipse coincides with an important point in the horoscope, changes and important events can be expected. Even if the events that have come may not seem significant at first, their importance will certainly manifest itself over time.
If the planets or other important points of the birth horoscope turn out to be in negative aspects to the degree of the current eclipse, then abrupt, radical events can be expected, crises, conflicts, complications and even breaks in relationships, adverse circumstances in business, and deterioration in health are likely. If the planets or other important points of the birth horoscope turn out to be in favorable aspects with an eclipse degree, then there will be changes or important events, but they will not cause strong shocks, rather they will turn out to be beneficial to the person.
In individual astrology, eclipses are still considered a negative factor that tends to have a bad effect on the fate and health of a person. But the degree of this influence is largely corrected by the indicators of each individual horoscope: the eclipse can have the most negative impact on people born on the day of the eclipse and on those people in whose horoscopes the eclipse point affects the most important indicators - it falls into places where the Moon is located, Sun or Ascendant at birth. In this case, the eclipse point connects with one of the main elements of the horoscope, which in reality may not be very favorable for the health and life spheres of the owner of the horoscope.
The strength of the influence of eclipses depends on which celestial house of the horoscope this conjunction occurs, which houses of the individual horoscope are ruled by the Sun or Moon, and what aspects (harmonious or negative) other planets and elements of the birth horoscope form to the point of eclipse. Birth on the day of an eclipse is a sign of fatality. But this does not mean that misfortunes will haunt a person all his life, it’s just that people born in an eclipse have a lower level of freedom, it’s more difficult for them to change something in their life, it’s kind of programmed for them. A person born in an eclipse is subject to the so-called Saros cycle, i.e. the similarity of life events can be traced with a period equal to this cycle - 18.5 years.
Eclipse Periodicity
Every year there are at least two lunar eclipses, however, due to the mismatch of the planes of the lunar and earth orbits, their phases differ. Eclipses repeat in the same order every 6585? days (or 18 years 11 days and ~8 hours - a period called saros); knowing where and when a total lunar eclipse was observed, one can accurately determine the time of subsequent and previous eclipses that are clearly visible in this area. This cyclicity often helps to accurately date the events described in the historical annals.
An annular eclipse of the Sun occurs when the Moon is at its apogee, that is, the furthest from the Earth, and therefore appears to be less than average. Therefore, during an annular eclipse, we observe an annular ring of the Sun behind the Moon. Annular eclipses are the most interesting and most important eclipses, awakening karmic resonance both in individual destinies of people, collectives, it affects the destinies of countries and ethnic groups. If such an eclipse aspects the corner points and planets of the horoscope, then the influence of such an eclipse can be quite long. Its action is not limited to one month or half a year, like other types of eclipses, but is quite capable of stretching for many years.
Total eclipses of the Sun have more influence on collectives and world events, but less on the fate of individuals. And if such an influence affects the horoscope, then its duration is from a month to half a year, that is, until the next eclipse. Although there are exceptions here, especially if a person was born in an eclipse, or the eclipse itself occurs on the lunar node of his horoscope, then the influence may be longer, and also when the eclipse is played on the Sun. During a total eclipse, the Sun itself is not visible.
Partial eclipses of the Sun occur when the Moon partially covers the Sun. Such eclipses, as a rule, affect just individuals. The duration of the eclipse is the same as for the full one.
Radical changes are a karmic necessity for the extension of Life on Earth and the existence of each individual. And the inclusion of consciousness (the Sun) and the psyche, the soul (Moon) in these processes will be necessary conditions. In other words, we need to consciously and intuitively, obeying our feelings and inclinations, follow the path of updating our worldview in order to take a different look at the world, our life and gain true, spiritual values.
Naturally, this will be opposed by the inertia of our purely pragmatic thinking, old, obsolete traditions and dogmas, selfishness and attachment to old principles. Overcoming this opposition is possible through strong-willed efforts, quick and well-thought-out actions, and also through the disclosure of magical abilities in oneself. The formation of a clear and strong intention in this case will be a fundamental factor. And the basis on which we can rely is our best human sides - humanism, a merciful attitude towards people, the pursuit of happiness and love, an altruistic attitude and a desire to renew our spiritual being.
True freedom, which is contained in each of us and which is the main creative aspect of God, will appeal to the personality of a person, calling him to help his neighbor, to perform an act of charity or to express his love to this world. Selflessness, kindness and mercy will help many to overcome obstacles on their personal path to success and realize their good intentions.
According to astrological tradition, the very essence of the Solar Eclipse is read by the Lunar nodes, by their position in the Signs and interaction with other planets. The positions of the Lunar Nodes are always opposite to each other.
Ketu, according to astrological tradition, is responsible for "The path of the past, degradation and already mastered experience that cannot be passed on."
Rahu, according to the astrological tradition, is responsible for the "Path of progress development, for the untapped future experience."
Each eclipse carries its own symbolism, as it occurs in a different degree of the zodiac, a different sign of the zodiac and refers to a different cycle of the Saros series, which began either at the south or north pole.
The action of a solar eclipse begins to affect us already two weeks before its onset. The inclusion of the eclipse situation will occur a day before the event. What will happen, starting from this time and within a week after the eclipse itself, will show how much we were able to use the situation to improve the entire Life of our planet and the fate of each of us.
Lunar eclipses are either total or partial.
A lunar eclipse happens on the 14th, 15th, 16th, 17th lunar days. If the lunar eclipse begins on the 14th lunar day, then it will be short in time, but very distant in consequences and captured in resonance. If the lunar eclipse begins on the 15th lunar day, then it acquires a black color. The lunar eclipse on the 16th day can erase even the most bad or good consequences of the eclipse. The lunar eclipse on the 17th lunar day is long in its consequences. It becomes large-scale, covers a wide range of problems, its events extend to many houses of the horoscope. If an eclipse spans two lunar days, for example, starts before moonrise and ends after sunrise, then it also covers a wide range of problems.
Lunar eclipses occur during a full moon when emotions are climaxing and yearning for release. Whether this creates disorientation or divine insight depends on our individual response. However, in any case, changes await you. During the lunar eclipse, you can get rid of diseases, bad habits (smoking, alcohol, other types of addiction), complexes, weaknesses.
The influence of eclipses is quite significant, but our life depends, of course, not only on them, but also on ourselves. We make the choice. And the more stability in our environment, the more likely it is that problems or even trials offered by life or phenomena that are independent of us can be resolved peacefully and calmly.
The differences in effects between solar and lunar eclipses are that solar eclipses are reflected in what happens in external life, which is connected with events that occur around a person, in his affairs and relationships. Whereas lunar eclipses are associated with our inner state, emotional mood and reflection on the problems that are felt inside. However, these reflections may well lead to events outside. That is, solar eclipses cause events that are not necessarily caused by us. But lunar eclipses cause events that are associated with our personal feelings, reflections, sensations and just our thoughts. What happens in these moments allows us to look at our lives differently, to see what is holding us back or hindering the implementation of the tasks we face, the achievement of important life goals. And therefore, our reflections on how to solve the existing problems in life will have important consequences for us.
Conjunctions of the degree of eclipses with planets
If the degree of the eclipse falls on the Sun, then this year will be significant for you personally.
An eclipse on the moon indicates that this month will be especially important for you.
An eclipse on the ascending lunar node, Rahu, will indicate the need for new life experiences that will become important for implementation in the community.
An eclipse on the Descending Lunar Node, Ketu, will point to issues of past experience, which either helps in its application in existing conditions, or vice versa, slows down and relies on a new one.
Eclipses on Jupiter and Venus are considered favorable, as they give a chance to achieve happiness, large or small. How these chances are used and whether they are used at all depends on personal choice.
An eclipse on Mars and Saturn is considered unfavorable, as these are planets of small and great misfortune.
Eclipses on Mercury can involve you in rather contradictory situations with the environment, contacts and do not always concern you personally.
It is believed that eclipses in conjunctions and in aspects to retrograde planets always act more strongly than eclipses in conjunction or in aspects to direct planets.
There are esoteric practices for getting rid of the old during eclipses:
- solar eclipse practice
- practicing lunar eclipse
Lunar eclipse practice
With the help of this practice, you can get rid of diseases, bad habits, complexes, damage and the evil eye.
Practices are similar to each other, but there are some differences. A contrast shower in preparation for the eclipse and immediately before it, men begin and end with cold water, and women with hot water.
You need to lie down with your head to the north. Looking at your reflection in the mental mirror, think that it is sick, smoking, drinking, shy, complex, and so on.
Everything else is the same as in the practice of a solar eclipse, including keeping a secret.
Solar eclipse practice
This practice allows you to get rid of external circumstances that hinder your development. Before the eclipse, you should not eat meat, seeds and nuts for three days. On these three days at sunrise and sunset (or just in the morning and evening) you need to take a contrast shower (5-7 temperature changes within 10 minutes). Men begin and end with hot water, and women with cold water.
For the practice, you will need a glass of water, a mirror and a candle. One hour before the eclipse time indicated on the calendar (take into account the difference between Greenwich time and Moscow, if it is not indicated on the calendar: in winter it is 3 hours, and in summer - 4; to get Greenwich time, they must be subtracted from Moscow) drink a glass of spring water, then take a contrast shower. Sit by a lit candle, thinking about what you want to get rid of.
Ten minutes before the eclipse, look in the mirror and lie on the floor with your head to the east. Relax. Imagine your reflection in the mirror. Here it leaves you, taking with it what you want to get rid of. It takes away loneliness, love failures, bad luck in business, unfaithful friends and everything else that prevents luck and success from entering your life.
When the reflection shrinks and becomes a black ball, a blue or purple dot will flash inside it. After that, push the dark ball away from you - or burn it. Lie down a bit, get up, put out the candle with your fingers.
Take the same contrast shower as before the practice. Drink a glass of spring (clean) water.
Don't tell anyone about what you did. Changes will not keep you waiting.
The practice of conducting a ritual before an eclipse
Half an hour before the moment of the eclipse, it is advisable to light a candle, go around the apartment with it clockwise, reading your favorite prayer. Fire cleanses the house of negative energy well. At the time of the eclipse, say on the candle (or better write down on paper) what prevents you from living and what you want to get rid of, confess before the Fire.
10 minutes before the eclipse, you should take a contrast shower, lie down, relax, close your eyes and imagine how fears, complexes and other negative programs that you want to get rid of come out of you. Imagine them in front of you in the form of mental images, symbols (for example, fear is a stone in your stomach, resentment is a lump in your throat) and send them the energy of love and gratitude for their lessons in your life. Look and feel what happens to them, how they change, become bright and pure creatures or symbols. Then, be sure to fill in the places in yourself where these images were with your love or with these new pure images.
The most important rule during the period of eclipses is to be a source of only good thoughts and desires. Showing aggression, quarreling and arguing - you only harm yourself by programming destruction. Truth is not born in disputes. Give thanks for everything that fate sends you, wish everyone good and light, and then you will see that your thoughts create your life. You become the magicians of your destiny and form the program of your success and happiness. When the heart is filled with gratitude, there is no room for problems in the head.
The moment of a solar eclipse is unique. During this period, you can not only get rid of negative feelings, but also form a program for the fulfillment of your intentions for the whole year.
After working through a solar eclipse, on the 1st lunar day, sit down in front of a candle, take a blank sheet of paper and write a list of your desires for the year or a business plan. Your plans and desires should be specific and limited in time. Write a lot of desires - you have to work harder. You can implement new opportunities to implement your plans. Do not rush, think carefully whether you really want the fulfillment of all your desires, choose only the most significant ones.
If during a solar eclipse we set goals, then during lunar eclipses it is necessary to comprehend existing situations and find ways out of them.
Therefore, it is worth reflecting only on what you really want to attract into your life. Your thoughts should be:
- clear and specific;
- flexible (taking into account unforeseen factors);
– realistically achievable in a specific timeframe;
– environmental (taking into account the interests of society and Nature);
- positive (tasks are formulated without the prefix not).
Now take a look at your birth chart. If the degree of the Sun or Moon at the time of the eclipse falls in a specific house that belongs to a certain area:
- in the 1st house - your individual potential of the owner of the horoscope, your Self, your physical body, character, how you are able to express yourself, wait for changes in personal terms. You may want to change your image, become a leader. You don't have to sit on your hands. This house is symbolically associated with the sign of Aries, which means that you will become a pioneer in something, an active creator and individuality.
- in the 2nd house - Innate abilities, talents. This is a very material house related to finances and resources. Here is what you can have on a personal level. Changes will affect your finances. This area of life can become unstable and if you are not afraid of this, you will always find an opportunity to improve your situation.
- in the 3rd house - Contacts with the inner circle, distant relatives, intellectual communication, mentality and its initial development, information exchange. The situation can force you to work with the problems of close relatives (brothers, sisters). Business trips can bring new opportunities and useful information.
- in the 4th house - Homeland and security. Entrance to the personal subconscious, karmic memory. Family, ancestors, household chores, real estate. Here is the conception and the beginning of life. Changes may affect the place of residence. You can buy or sell an apartment, house, move. Perhaps more attention will have to be paid to parents, especially mothers.
- in the 5th house - The ability for the creative process, behavior patterns, play and artistry, the ability to attract attention through creation, including one's creation in children, through the expression of love in that which gives satisfaction. And also in education, or rather in its creative consolidation. And therefore, this is a house for increasing your creative self-realization, as well as training in advanced training courses. Changes can occur in personal life. Also pay special attention to your children - an important event can happen in their fate and this will directly affect you.
- in the 6th house - The accumulated experience of working and relationships with colleagues and subordinates, an experience that also affects your physiological state of health. Here is the ability to improve labor and just diligence. And according to ancient legends, servants and domestic animals are also here. If you were looking for a job, you will definitely find it within a year. If you worked stably, there is an opportunity to change the place for the best.
- in the 7th house - Partnerships formalized relations and the ability to understand each other. Competition, rivalry and open enemies. Changes can occur in family life, in the life of a marriage partner. It is possible to meet with a future partner and formalize relations, and for those who want to get freedom - a long-awaited divorce.
- in the 8th house - Material values of others and a partner, capital. Critical and risky situations, difficult to control feelings for others. Sex, passion and its transformation. Psychoanalysis, occultism and death. There may be changes in the financial situation of your partner (husband, wife, boss). You may have to take risks, but don't worry - this experience is vital for you.
- in the 9th house - This is the house of high aspirations in life, but not material, but very subtle spiritual ones, the house of faith and ethics, the house of knowing one's higher Self, the desire to overcome personal limitations and go beyond conventions. Because, restrictions, like "guardians of the threshold" are rather arbitrary. This is overcoming taboos and expanding one's own worldview, "going beyond limits and boundaries." Knowledge of other cultures also belongs to this house of the horoscope. You can get another higher education, go on a trip abroad and further expand your worldview.
- in the 10th house - Professional success, fame, what you are able to achieve in society, as well as social status. This house also shows by what means you achieve your goals and objectives, so it is possible to change these goals, setting new goals.
- in the 11th house - Group relations, humanitarian activities, friends and informal contacts. Also ideas, projects for the future and access to higher levels of consciousness. Here is selfless help and patronage. Changes can happen in your plans, projects, with friends, as well as in working with groups of people (for example, in network marketing).
- in the 12th house - Mystery, esotericism. Connection with the collective unconscious. The result of life, karma (cause), turning into dharma (effect - service). Here you get from the collective unconscious what you deserve as a result of personal choice and your own actions, which were reflected in the circumstances of the lives of others. But this is either a “stick” or a “carrot” that you don’t take for yourself, but give to others. Here is the selection of experience in the next incarnation. Impersonal service, mercy, asceticism, love-sacrifice. Forced isolation (sanatorium, hospital, prison, mental hospital), hidden enemies. A revolution is possible in your spiritual world, a re-realization of true values in life. And so that the growth of the soul does not occur through crises, it is simply necessary to go towards it yourself - to think about the meaning of life, read spiritual literature and attend psychological seminars and trainings.

Any eclipse enhances what we came to it with: our thoughts, mood, state.
With the help of this practice on a lunar eclipse, you can get rid of diseases, bad habits, complexes, weaknesses.
To better prepare for the Practice, write down the dates of eclipses in advance. At the beginning of each month, it is enough to devote 30 minutes to lunar planning. This will make your life much easier.
The very practice of a lunar eclipse is similar to , but there are nuances, so be careful.
Before starting the practice, think about what you most want right now. Write down your desire briefly but succinctly. Prepare in advance the things in which you will conduct this practice. Things are better to wear new. But if you do not have new things, take clean ones, just not what you wear all the time.
Take a contrast shower (men begin and end - cold water women – hot).
Lunar eclipse practice
On the night of the lunar eclipse (per hour before the beginning eclipse) prepare a mirror, a candle, matches and two glasses of water (not full).
We begin the practice with a bow to all 4 cardinal directions. We start from the East and, clockwise, invoking the Forces of Light for help, we bow to the belt. We do it slowly, thoughtfully, respectfully.
Now you can go to the shower. Take a contrast shower. Imagine every part of your body opening up and stretching out for the practice.
After a shower, dress in clean clothes, light a candle and sit near it. Feel the state of peace. When you are ready, read your desire out loud thoughtfully and calmly.
10 minutes before the beginning eclipses - look at yourself in the mirror, remember your image in it. Inhale, exhale and drink water from the first glass. Lie on the floor with your head on north(prepare the place in advance: spread a sports mat or blanket, you can hide and you can use a low pillow).
Get comfortable, close your eyes and visualize your image as if reflected in a mirror. Think about your image, about what prevents him from living. It is time for Him (your image) to get rid of the disease. It is time for Him to get rid of what hinders happiness. Watch how your image changes, thank Him. Let Him go along with illnesses to where they belong. Let Him take care that diseases do not return to you. Let Him decide how best to do it. This is not your concern. Bless and guide them with your mind's eye.
Lie down for a few more minutes, thank all the participants of the Practice. Wish everyone well. You will feel when you can get up.
Stretch and, opening your eyes, slowly rise. Let the candle burn out. It is not worth blowing out the candle - it is better to cover the flame with a cap (if the candle is many hours old).
Bow to all four corners of the world. Make it easy and joyful.
Take a contrast shower (as before the Practice), then ON INHALE slowly and with pleasure drink water from the second glass, consolidating your new joyful, free, pure state.
Let this state fill your future life with joy and good luck.
You should not tell anyone about the fact that you did the Practice and about your feelings for the next 3 months.
