How do eclipses affect us

However, unlike solar eclipses, looking at the moon during an eclipse has been scientifically proven to be harmless to the eyes. Eating during this time can heighten your Kapha element, which is already aggravated due to the eclipse. To reduce these effects of Kapha on your body, you can have dry ginger with water or spices such as pepper or bay leaf in a small quantity.

The sun is most closely associated with the self, personality, and ego, and what it is that makes you unique. It's also been said to foster creative ability and provide people with the power to meet the challenges of everyday life.

So, even though you may not think about the sun as much more than that really hot burning ball in the sky that leaves you with wicked sunburns every summer, it's worth knowing what you can expect when a solar eclipse is about to take place. In the name of not being in the dark, here are five weird things the upcoming solar eclipse might do to your body. According to spiritual research, the total eclipse of the sun can cause feelings of tiredness or sickness. It's also not advised to make big decisions during this time period because of the impact it can have on your mood.

Pregnant women are sometimes asked to take certain precautions when it comes to a total solar eclipse, as there is a myth that claims children can be born with abnormalities during this time. Please keep in mind there's no scientific evidence that this is true, but still, it's a wildly interesting theory. Being the rough and tumble guy that Mars is known to be, he will break that scab open and the news of the eclipse would be released.

This may also happen if Mars is in the opposite sign of the eclipse but same degree. Saturn, being a karmic planet, can do the same if he is close enough and is due to travel over the same path, same sign, and same degree. I thought you might like to know how I calculate things for you! Your judgment may be impaired, or pieces of information may be missing, so bargain for more time to think about your decision or next action. You may want to wait seven days before deciding, but that is not always possible.

If someone comes to you with a proposal, consider it carefully. If after looking at it from all sides you like it, then proceed, but try to beg for just a little extra time. Keep your schedule light because urgent things often come up at eclipse time that will need your immediate attention. You may see your life change as a result. Get expert help if necessary, or hire helpers in your own personal life if you need more hands on deck.

An eclipse may bring news suddenly, but it takes weeks to understand its real meaning. If you should suffer under an eclipse, consider that perhaps that situation is being swept away so that the universe can provide you with something better. Be patient and keep an open mind. In the fluid situation it creates you can find ways to benefit.

Here is one example. Mary has worked at the same company 15 years and does her job well. Her raises have been so little as to be almost non-existent, but she was so loyal to her employer she would never think of leaving. Now comes the eclipse and she is downsized. Mary is terribly upset, worried about how she will pay her rent, and if you asked Mary, she would say that the effect of the eclipse on her has been catastrophic. However, the universe, in its wisdom, knows Mary can parlay her experience and qualifications for a much more interesting and well-paying job.

The universe clears her basket so it can provide her with something infinitely better. In two months, Mary found a wonderful new job, and she only then realized what a blessing in disguise the eclipse had brought her. Eclipses can show you that you are capable of much more than you assumed. You may be offered a chance to write a book or to record an album, for example or head up an entire department of your company.

Eclipses sometimes will suddenly open a door, and it would be one that was previously bolted shut and impossible to enter. Here is a good analogy of an eclipse. You are riding a horse in unfamiliar, beautiful terrain. Distracted by the lovely scenery, you completely forget about the fence until it looms suddenly, straight in front of you.

It is so much bigger than the trainer let on — this fence is huge. You cannot imagine going over that fence and surviving! This is a big stretch for you! Yet, it would be something you wish you could do, but in panic, you try to pull on the reins of the horse to try to stop him.

However, the horse has been trained to jump, and before you know it, you are flying through the air over a fence you feel is scary high. Each second you are in the air you feel you are moving in slow motion, for as up, up you go and over the massive stone fence. Remember I had said earlier, eclipses play with your sense of time.

The horse is doing the jump for you. You land perfectly. The horse is fine and so are you — but you feel very shaky and breathless, and you are counting your fingers and toes.

You did it! You feel proud! That is often the experience of an eclipse. The eclipses that will touch you are the ones that are mathematically significant to your natal Sun, moon, and planets. Those are the ones that touch the same degree or are close to it of your Sun, moon, or one or two planets in that part of the sky on the day you were born. In each chapter and on my website , be sure to check the birthdates and degree of the eclipse that I will mention in association with each eclipse.

It is true that eclipses in a family of signs that highlight your Sun sign will be vitally important. Typically we will get six to eight eclipses in any one series family of signs in an tomonth period, but you may only feel two or three of those, not all six or eight.

The other eclipses, in any series, may have only a mild effect, or none at all. Unless you know astrology, it is hard to tell you how that eclipse will affect you.

It would be wise for you to keep a little notebook of events that happen near each eclipse and the sign, date, and degree of each eclipse because in time you will see a pattern every time that planet, your Sun, or moon is visited by an eclipse.

Even if nothing happens, write that down, too. If you ever see an astrologer, that information will prove very valuable. If your Venus is well aspected in your natal chart that means friendly to one or more planets on the day you were born , then it means that the new eclipse will trigger that happy natal configuration, and the eclipse would likely prove to be positive.

If your Venus is afflicted at birth, meaning not friendly to other planets at the time you were born, you may have problems at the eclipse, for that sore point will be triggered occasionally. The difficult eclipse will unlock underlying feelings or factors swirling around you and help you come to terms with that configuration in your chart. You can and probably will address the topic forthrightly now. Treat your rising sign just like you would your Sun sign.

They are equal in importance. Furthermore, if you have a planet near your rising sign, note if the mathematical degrees of the planet and the eclipse are close. The closer the degrees within five degrees , the more likely you will feel something. Your rising sign or ascendant can only be determined by doing your natal chart using the day, month, year, city, and precise time, to the minute, of your birth.

Once you know your rising sign, you must always read for your rising sign as well as your Sun sign. Your rising sign has the same significance as your Sun sign — they are equal in importance in your chart. The rising sign partially explains why every one of the same sign is not alike — you are a combination of both. The rising sign has another critical function, and without my getting too technical here, it gives further information of the timing of events in your chart.

Request the original or vault copy of your birth certificate. You need the original, handwritten birth certificate the nurse recorded. It is available if you ask for it.

At dawn, you have the same rising sign as your Sun sign. I can tell you where all eight planets were based, however, and more information about your Sun. Once you have your explanation of your natal chart, you need never do it again. Your natal chart will remain the same for life, so memorize your rising sign and degree. This is a very important point to remember. As said above and bears repeating , you have two charts: your solar Sun-sign chart, and your rising sign, custom chart done by the day, month, year, time, and city of birth.

Both charts are vital to have and to read! Everyone, everywhere has two charts. If you read one without the other, you will only have half the information you need. So if you are a Capricorn, read for the section on Capricorn, and if you know you have Taurus rising, read for Taurus too.

If you have a planet, or the moon, at the same or in close degree to the eclipse, pay attention to that planet, its placement in the chart, and the house that planet rules.

I realize this may be way to complicated to comprehend, so just circle that planet and see what happens later. What if the news of the two charts conflict? Then the one with the more severe news will find comfort from the better aspected chart. The best way to learn astrology is simply to observe! You are likely to see the area of life that the house rules will become important to you, as well as the area of the chart that the planet rules.

You may not know enough astrology to figure these things out, but in time, you will. Taking notes on each eclipse is a good way to get acquainted with the movements of eclipses.

Just read for your rising sign and your Sun birthday sign, and I will take care of the rest for you. Subscription Login. New Articles from Susan. More from Astrology Zone. Sign Up Now.
