Eclipses in Astrology

Eclipses are interesting phenomena in the sky. The eclipse is caused by a shadow passing across the Sun or the Moon. Astronomically speaking when the Sun, the Moon and the Earth are all in line with the Moon or the Earth at the center; a Solar or Lunar eclipse takes place respectively. The most interesting fact about the eclipse is that in reality we are not able to see Rahu and Ketu (north and south node) as we are able to see other planets. But on eclipse day we are able to see them. On the day of eclipse the energy of these celestial bodies is enormous and very powerful. Another interesting fact about that on the Eclipse day all these three planets Sun, Moon and Earth appear equal in sizes. Eclipses are indications of a change for better or worse but more importantly they indicate the end of one cycle and the beginning of a new one. Rahu and Ketu can cause eclipses and this is one of the main reasons they were regarded as bad. There are two types of eclipse: solar and lunar eclipse. The Eclipse happens many times in a year and each one has a different meaning astrologically.

Solar Eclipses Astrology

The Solar eclipses happen on New Moon day. When the Moon moves between Earth and Sun and all the three planets are in one line. The Moon's shadow travels over the Earth's surface and blocks out the Sun's light as seen from Earth. During the Solar Eclipse day the deadly silence and disturbance of birds and animals made them fear that the end of life is coming. As the dark shadow of the Moon engulfed the Sun, it appeared as if a demon was swallowing it. An eclipse is always a portent for some change to come. It's a kind of  divine warning. The Sun sheds its light for a moment and exposes the shadow of the Moon which is Rahu, and when Rahu is revealed, our hidden side comes to the surface. An unusual aspect of our consciousness comes out, highlighting different aspects of life.

Lunar Eclipses Astrology

Lunar eclipses only happen on Full Moon. When the Earth moves between Moon and Sun, and all the three planets in a one line. The impact of a Lunar Eclipse is felt immediately and it creates a greater disturbance on feelings, which is felt instantly. The Lunar Eclipse highlights a specific event, creates a situation and it usually all happens within the month.

Eclipses considered as bad omens. Day of eclipse should be avoided for important new beginnings in material areas like starting a new business, getting married, approaching your boss for a promotion, or proposing to your girlfriend. Eclipses are good for introspection, meditation, cleaning house, letting go of old baggage, spending some quiet time, and spiritual pursuit. Then the eclipse might indicate a positive outcome.

Astrological impact of Eclipse on Birth Chart:

The astrological house in which the eclipse takes place will usually become sensitized for up to many months. If the eclipse falls on the person's natal Sun, Moon, Ascendant, or ruler of the Ascendant, or any planet within 15° of an eclipse will feel its influence and will have a powerful effect on that person’s life. The Nakshatra in which an eclipse falls will also give a clue to its effects.

To understand what the eclipse is doing for you personally, you want to see what are your planets are being impacted. The eclipse highlights a specific area of your life and brings it into your consciousness. It can be either good or bad. Eclipse on the natal Sun, representing the soul, power authority and life purpose and and can trigger your life purpose. Which can be accelerating individuality, purpose and drive. If an eclipse is near your Ascendant or its ruler, it indicates a change in personality and as a result change in life. If the Mercury are significators of the mind and intellect, it may affect intellectually. If it connects to your Mars, it could make you aggressive, and may make you feel competitive or make you want to get in a fight. Any planet can be involved in being eclipsed. And eclipses on other planets usually have an impact on the houses they rule in your chart. e. g. If Venus ruled your 2nd and houses then an eclipse on Venus would highlight issues with money and relationship with spouse. Signs of the eclipse also give indication in which area of life is affected.

It is important to be safe when viewing an eclipse because on the day of eclipse the energy level of the Sun and Moon is very high on the earth because they are in one line. So never look at the Sun directly because solar radiation can damage your eyes.

People born on the day of Eclipse: Can energize the birth planets and their life. These people have enormous energy and can be fearless and independent and possess very strong qualities. Their fate is beyond their control.

Other significance of eclipse:

At the time of the eclipse, people bathe in the sacred rivers. They do charitable acts. They give cows, money and gold. The day after the eclipse they feed the poor and the Sadhus. After the eclipse they clean their houses, vessels, etc., and take a bath before they start cooking.

On eclipse time because Sun rays are not coming to earth most of the cooked food turns into poison. So One should not take food during the eclipse and one should eat food before 3 or 4 hours before the eclipse begins so that food should by then have been digested before the eclipse begins. One should take food only after seeing the Sun or the Moon free from the Eclipse.

Pregnant women should not see the Sun or the Moon during the time of the eclipse because of intense dark rays of Sun which can cause damage to the unborn baby and If they do the child born may have some kind of defect. People should avoid sensual activity on the day of the eclipse, for the same reason.

At this time of eclipse one should take great care in avoiding bleeding, stings, bites from poisonous insects or animals because these may have dreadful results. Even an earthworm has a poisonous effect when it bites one during an eclipse.

Spiritual practice can give a great amount of benefit on the eclipse day. Those who do chanting (japa) at the time of the eclipse derive great benefits. The effect of chanting ( japa) and on the day of eclipse increase many fold compared to any other normal day because the Sun, Moon and Earth are in the same alignment. Satsang, bhajan and kirtan during the eclipse gives relief from the suffering of humanity and also of the individual bad planets in the birth chart by receiving the blessings of the Gods. If you cannot understand many things of this mysterious universe then, have faith in the words of wise people and follow them.

Types of Eclipse Astrology

Solar Eclipses Astrology:

Total solar eclipse: Occurs when the Moon completely covers the Sun, and the dark silhouette of the Moon completely obscures the intensely bright light of the Sun. Allowing the much fainter Sun to be visible.

Partial solar eclipses: Can occur when the Sun and Moon are not exactly in line and the Moon only partially obscures the Sun.

Annular eclipses: An annular eclipse occurs when the Sun and Moon are exactly in line, but the apparent size of the Moon is smaller than that of the Sun. Hence the Sun appears as a very bright ring surrounding the dark disk of the Moon.

Hybrid eclipses: A hybrid eclipse shifts between a total and annular eclipse. At certain points on the surface of Earth it appears as a total eclipse. Whereas at other points it appears as annular. Hybrid eclipses are rare.

Lunar Eclipses Astrology:

Total lunar eclipses: Occur when the Earth's shadow obscures all of the Moon's visible surface.

Partial lunar eclipse: A partial lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth moves between the Sun and Moon but the three planets do not form a straight line and some portion of the Moon moves into the darkest.

Solar Return (Annual Chart) Astrology

The Solar return chart is the most commonly used of the planet Sun return in the chart. Solar returns are an ancient technique, used by both sidereal and tropical astrologers. Since the Sun represents both the vitality and the light of the self, it is an important thing to know about Solar return of the year. 

The Solar return in horoscope is a chart constructed for the time the Sun returns to its exact natal position (degree and sign). This will be within 24 hours of the birth time each year. The Solar return chart in the horoscope of the Sun’s return, a return to the sense of identity, purpose, another initiation into the experience of the self.  The chart will identify important areas of concern for the self during the upcoming year. Each Solar return chart will represent a year and be in effect from one birthday to the next.  In a sense it is a ‘natal’ chart for one year, providing a snapshot of the planet's patterns that will show over the next year. Therefore it can be delineated much the same as a natal chart.

Solar returns can be used as a secondary chart to examine planetary patterns and possibilities for any particular year. Once you have your Solar return charts laid out in sequential order from birth, then you can examine the angles and planets to see how they are placed in the chart. Once you have studied each of the planets in the Solar return you will be more confident with how to approach that particular year. 

How to Read  Solar Returns: 

In order to use Solar returns effectively, you need to  generate the solar return horoscopes  using your natal birthplace. The Solar return chart suggests the atmosphere, themes and spheres of importance in the individual life over the coming year. The Solar return chart is operational from one birthday to the next.

When beginning to understand how to effectively use the Solar return chart. Following are the steps to read the Solar return chart.

1. The house Occupied the Sun:  The Sun is definitely the most important planet to consider in the interpretation of Solar return. Its house position shows where one may express the self creativity that takes place during that particular year. It also denotes the area of greatest recognition as well as the area the individual will identify, success, honour, pride and accomplishments for that particular year. Let's say your Sun falls in the 12th house on Solar return, it means you will be recognized in foreign land and there will be some connection with foreign countries. However one must be careful of seeking status because the 12th house is the house of loss and there is a tendency to lose one’s identity. Any planet conjunct with the Sun is very important for that year. That planet describes the nature of activities, events, conditions that unfold in the coming year. 

2. The Ascendant: The Ascendant of the Solar return chart symbolizes what is rising to the surface of our personality during the coming year. Each year the Solar returns symbolizes an aspect of the personality, which is in focus or may even be reborn over the course of the year.

A planet in the ascendant is also very important to note since this energy may be something that the individual needs to see and relate with during the coming year. It is the part of the personality rising to the surface and it will demand attention and direction for the coming period. Depending on the nature of the planet the energy will influence their personality. Any planets in close relation to the Sun and ascendant affect the nature of how one perceives reality. How one can project the self and what one can consider important in dealing with others. The behaviour and activities which one expresses in life during that year is also important. 

3. The Moon in the Solar Return: The Moon is associated with change and fluctuation according to its house position. The Moon reflects the individual's emotional nature during the Solar return year. The type of feelings you have during that year and it can be shown by the Moon's sign, position, and aspects. The Moon's sign can be important because it is indicative of what the individual feels during the year. The house position of the Moon indicates where you may be aware of new psychological and emotional developments.

4. Planets near or in the 10th house (MC) will signify what is brought to public attention during the year. These planets will seek to be expressed through the career goals. Career during the coming year and needs conscious attention directed towards it.

5. Reading of other planets: Generally speaking, the planets in the Solar return chart are read the same as in the natal chart. Each planet of the Solar return chart needs to be considered its sign, house position, aspects, and any other important considerations (retrogradation, combust etc.). The house position indicates where the energies focused for the year. For e.g. Mercury  sign interpretations in the Solar return chart symbolizes what type you are thinking during the coming year.

6. The Lunar Nodes: The Lunar Node highlights the areas of that year that are destined to occur no matter what you do. The Nodes can give hints of which areas of your life are attracting the fates attention in the coming year. 

In the Solar Return chart (Varshphal), the planets laid differently from the natal chart as they are considered in the context of that particular year, not for the lifetime.

Waxing and Waning Moon Astrology

In Astrology Moon is a very important planet because Moon rules our mind and our consciousness. The Moon represents our instinctual responses to life and carries our unconscious memories from past lives. What kind of mind or conscious we have we perceive outer things. The world is same, but people are not same therefore it is our internal environment which is not same and according to that, we react to the people and things around us.

What Are Moon Phases?

The relationship between the Sun and Moon in the sky is what creates the waxing and waning light of the Moon each month. As the whole Moon cycle from New Moon to New Moon is almost four weeks long. The Moon Phases are refer to the Moon's orbit around the earth in relation to the Sun. In astrology, the Moon influences the mind depending on whether the Moon is full, new, increasing (waxing) or decreasing (decreasing) in your birth chart. The Moon phases repeats the same cycles every month. Every month there is the last quarter and decreasing moon, also referred to as the waning moon, leading to the New Moon, first quarter and increasing Moon also referred to as the waxing Moon leading to the full Moon, and the cycle starts over again. The first quarter and last quarter moon are ninety degrees to the sun and are exactly half in shadow, half in light. The New Moon is the Moon's side in darkness and full Moon is the completely illuminated side of the Moon.

Mostly people think that waning Moon is not good and does not give good result. We should discriminate in our interpretation between what is called waxing and waning aspects.

The Full Moon is the fully illuminated Moon, and activities and celebrations are heightened in creativity and effect. And the New Moon is a time for reflection and introspection.

According to vedic astrology, the Waxing or increasing Moon brings new ideas and activities. The Waxing side of the aspect cycle is where we come up with ideas, make plans to implement them, and actually put these plans into action, building something real, something outward and usually in the physical world. Waxing Moon helps the area of life to grow where it have influences in the chart particularly.

The Waning or decreasing Moon symbolizes winding down of activities, and purification of soul. The waning side of the aspect cycle is where we work with whatever we have built and created, coming to understand what it is, how to best use it, and what it means to us. Here we are receiving, accepting what is, and learning to work with that. Waning Moon causes external areas of life to fade, while causing one’s inner worlds to grow. With a waning Moon, we experience loss of outer world in order to gain inner fulfillment and inner growth. Those people who have waning Moon if they know how to manage their emotions they can really do good meditation practice.

Sun Moon and Rising sign Astrology

There are many people who are often confused by the Sun, Moon and Rising (ascendant) signs. They often asked which one is more important.  I think every sign is important and these three represent different energies in life. So let's start with the Sun sign because most people recognize themselves with the Sun sign. 

So what is the Sun? 

Sun is the supreme self which is present in all of us. In Hinduism the Sun is known as Shiva, the unchanged and supreme power. We all can merge in this supreme power through yoga and meditation practice.  Depending on the Sun sign and position of the house it defines your self esteem, ego,  pride and your vitality. 

The sign of the Sun and its placement in the birth chart is very important in looking into health, career and social status. If Sun is in Aries sign its mean Sun is in its exalted sign and the person has the capacity for pursuing his/her career goals, has a healthy ego and has good health in general. And if Sun in his fall signs Libra, then the person is not serious about his/her career goals; they are more interested in relationships and they are people oriented. They also don’t have good vitality and have a hard time keeping their health good. So the Sun sign is very important in looking for these three things in a person's life. 

Now what is the Moon? 

Moon is the emotions, feelings and is the part of you that reflects the way you feel. The Moon is your comfort or uncomfortable zone depending on the Moon sign and house placement. Moon is a receptive and subconscious mind which acts on past life karma. The Moon sign is important because it signifies your inner emotional wiring and describes the conditions you need in order to feel secure in life. Depending on the Moon sign, you react in a certain way in every aspect of your life, relationships and that will create your inner happiness or unhappiness. The Moon is responsible for your emotions, instincts, memory, and everything else which goes on automatically, without conscious control. All these aspects of the person’s life are shown by the Moon sign. Moon signs are very important for mental health. If the Moon is not in good sign or house it can damage your emotional health. 

There is a flow of masculine and feminine energy in everyone. Masculine part is your outer side, the conscious, and active and feminine side is your inner side, the unconscious side, and the passive side. The Sun is associated in astrology with supreme self through which consciousness filtered down, and this is why it is given such importance. The Sun sign therefore describes quite well the conscious side of the person. On the other hand, the Moon is associated in astrology with the subconscious, intuitive side of a person. 

What is a Rising Sign? 

Rising sign (Ascendant) is the most important sign. It changes every two hours and it sets your life map depending on your past life karma. Rising sign is not only a rising sign but it sets your each and every house in differently than others. What do I mean to say this? Let's say if your Aries are rising then your second is Taurus which is ruled by Venus. And if you are a Taurus rising then your second house is ruled by Gemini which is ruled by Mercury. So depending on the rising sign everyone's life is different from others. This is the most important in all these three signs because it sets your theme of life e.g when you get married or when will get a job etc. Rising sign is actually to fulfill your past life karma and move on towards the next level of life.
