Solar eclipse: what to do and not to do. How does a solar eclipse affect people's psycho-emotional state?
Since ancient times, it was believed that a solar or lunar eclipse was a sign from above, foreshadowing all sorts of troubles. Therefore, court astrologers had to predict eclipses in advance and interpret what could be expected after them in terms of state security, the economy and the life of the ruler.
It is believed that a person born on the day of an eclipse becomes hostage to the so-called Saros cycle, that is, similar events occur to him once every 18 years and 10 days.
During a lunar eclipse, people's psyche suffers. The number of suicides and mental disorders is increasing. A feeling of unmotivated anxiety, vague anxiety and even panic “covers” even those who are not subject to such sensations in ordinary life. Intuition, the gift of the Moon, stops working during an eclipse; it seems to be blocked.
How do lunar and solar eclipses affect nature?
Nature also reacts to eclipses - earthquakes and other natural disasters are possible a week before and a week after. The activity of the World Ocean increases - it is during eclipses that more storms and tsunamis occur.
The greatest negative impact of a solar eclipse comes from those regions where it can be observed. In such regions, not only natural disasters occur, but also economic collapses, the collapse of the national currency, the strengthening of extremist tendencies, plane crashes and serious car accidents.
Negativity also manifests itself in those geographical points that coincide in sign with the sign under which the eclipse occurs (read more about the Moon in the zodiac signs in our material). For example, if during an eclipse the Sun is in Pisces, then it is better not to appear near a body of water, and if it is in Capricorn, then you should not go to the mountains.
During the days and nights of eclipses, it is especially recommended to engage in spiritual self-improvement, read prayers, meditate, and chant mantras. But you shouldn’t be in places with large crowds of people. Even someone’s completely innocent joke can provoke panic and its consequences. Also, you should not conduct transactions or make large purchases; Surgical intervention in the body is completely contraindicated - again due to its unpredictable consequences.
In light of all of the above, it is better to track the time of the next lunar or solar eclipse in order to be prepared for unpleasant surprises.
Upcoming eclipses and how to watch eclipses
The upcoming solar eclipses, which will have a special impact on our country and its inhabitants, can be observed in the Northern Hemisphere:
Be careful these days, you can even stock up on amulets to make you feel calmer...
By the way, the “fatal” total solar eclipse on November 13, 2012 will not be visible in our country.
A lunar eclipse can be observed without harm to health, but a solar eclipse can cause eye damage. Even in the Novgorod chronicle of the 13th century, we find mention of the fact that “from this sign hardly anyone lost sight of a person.” Therefore, it is recommended to view the eclipse through heavily smoked glass; ordinary sunglasses are not suitable. You can also use several multi-colored glasses, combining them into one, or a photographic negative film that has no light areas. Moreover, a partial eclipse can cause damage to vision no less than a total eclipse.
You cannot look at the eclipse through binoculars, through the viewfinder of a video camera or camera, and even more so through the eye of a telescope. Loss of vision may be permanent. Now, in addition to the eye protection already listed, industrial filters have appeared that allow you to safely admire a rare phenomenon. Well, you can gain health and understand what you should pay attention to before the eclipse if you read our health horoscope.
According to doctors, a solar eclipse does not significantly affect people physically, but can affect their psycho-emotional state. It is noted that with this natural phenomenon, a person experiences an unconscious feeling of anxiety, which he usually experiences when he finds himself in an unusual environment. Moreover, without sunlight, all living things become restless: large animals begin to worry, fuss, and seek shelter, while small animals seem to freeze. However, according to the chairman of the problem commission “Chronobiology and Chronomedicine” of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences, Professor Semyon Rapoport, “changes in the body of any living creature are a long process, and the short period that a solar eclipse occupies cannot truly influence these mechanisms.”
Today, August 21, residents of 14 American states will be able to observe a total solar eclipse. For the first time in 99 years, this natural phenomenon will cover the continental part of the country from the west to the east coast. In Washington, the eclipse will peak at 14:43 (21:43 Moscow time); at this time only a fifth of the sun will be visible.
What is hidden behind this natural phenomenon, Pravda.Ru asked in an exclusive interview Vladimir Fainzilberg, psychotherapist, associate professor of the department of psychotherapy at the Moscow Institute of Psychoanalysis, full member of the Russian and European Psychotherapeutic League.
— How does a solar eclipse affect a person’s physical health and psycho-emotional state?
— From time immemorial, any solar or lunar eclipse has an exciting effect on people and animals: they lose peace, some kind of deep-seated anxiety appears. In some cases, people and animals rush around and cannot find a place for themselves, but this is not very clearly expressed. However, it cannot be said that the number of crimes is increasing or that more cases of primary mental disorder are occurring. Occasionally during the eclipse, unpleasant sensations arise, and some chronic disorders worsen. This mainly happens to neurotics and people with an anxious and suspicious character, suffering from depressive disorders of the hypochondriacal order, when the basis of their experiences is hypochondriacal suspicious concepts. That is, these are people who are not entirely confident in themselves and their future. Along with this, it is known for sure that during such periods the number of suicidal manifestations increases slightly. This is explained precisely by the anxious component of the experiences people experience.
- What is the reason for this reaction of living beings to a solar eclipse?
“This is due to episodic, periodic loss of solar activity. And this once again suggests that we all depend on the rays of the sun and are children of solar nature. People experience approximately the same thing when they climb high into the mountains. This is the so-called mountain sickness, in which, under the influence of high solar activity, a person experiences anxiety and restlessness, but there, among other things, low pressure has a negative effect. When a person, on the contrary, sinks below sea level or under water, he also experiences some anxiety and restlessness. That is, the same elements of anxiety and causeless restlessness appear that are very characteristic of solar eclipses.
— What can help a person cope with such negative feelings?
— Awareness, passion, and the desire to study this phenomenon will help overcome anxiety. You may remember how, as a child, everyone prepared for a solar eclipse: they smoked a piece of glass and then looked at the Sun. So the children were less susceptible to fear because they were engaged, they had interest. Only knowledge and awareness can distract from anxiety. And, of course, physically and mentally healthy people tolerate such phenomena much easier. At the same time, it has been proven that the element of anxiety and worry increases compared to other periods of life.
— Why did ancient people react much more emotionally to a solar eclipse than modern humanity?
— The absence of sunlight was perceived by ancient people as tragic, since the basis of our life is sunlight. It is he who accompanies humanity all his life. It is not for nothing that the punishment for many nations was prison, when a person was deprived of sunlight.

An eclipse removes or reduces solar energy (life-giving “prana”) for the entire Earth, so both people and animals suffer.
During an eclipse, consciousness is darkened, the mind is poorly oriented in events. In a general sense, a solar eclipse creates a beneficial influence on society, which increases 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 follow certain rules during solar and lunar eclipses:
Don't look at the eclipse;
do not leave the premises (and especially not travel or travel) and stay indoors;
Do not eat 3 hours before and after the eclipse;
do not drive, or at least do it carefully;
avoid financial transactions;
do not contact the crowd;
it is recommended to meditate and engage in other spiritual practices (or at least just relax);
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 its onset. Meteorologically dependent people are especially affected.
Research by medical scientists has proven the undeniable influence of a solar eclipse on humans. Medical studies were conducted on dozens of healthy and sick people. Research has 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 start of the eclipse, blood pressure rose in hypertensive patients, the blood 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 incapacitated. Doctors expected that all these phenomena should occur only two days after the eclipse, when cosmic rays from the sun reach the Earth.
The moon was a luminary that was 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. The body is under a powerful load on the regulatory system. Health is especially bad on the day of the eclipse for people with cardiovascular pathologies and hypertension. People who are currently undergoing treatment will also feel unwell.
Even doctors say that on the day of the eclipse it is better not to engage in activity; the actions will be inadequate and the likelihood of mistakes will be greater. They advise you to sit this day out. To avoid health discomfort, 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 completed with cool water, it tones, and in the evening with warm water.
In 1954, the French economist Maurice Allais, observing the movements of a pendulum, noticed that during a solar eclipse it 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. Pregnant women are also not allowed to go out during solar or lunar eclipses, and those who ignored the danger and did this received an abnormal child. The connection between these events has not been explained by modern science.
The consequences of an eclipse in the form of a powerful earthquake or other natural disaster are very possible within a week after any eclipse. There may also be economic instability for several weeks following 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 a disruption of the hypothalamus at the psychophysiological level, which corresponds to the Moon according to the discovery of Tony Nader (Nader Raja Rama). The body's hormonal cycles may be disrupted, especially in women. During a solar eclipse, the physiological correspondence of the Sun to the Thalamus is more disrupted, and the risk of cardiovascular diseases will also increase, since the Sun rules the heart. The perception of 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 state leaders.
When times get tough, the best we can do is turn to the Absolute. During eclipses, it is better to think about peace in your country and throughout the world. If people around you are acting 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 lunar and solar eclipses.
According to the principles of Jyotish, the malefic results of a significant omen (event) such as an eclipse increase as time progresses towards the date of the event. Eclipses are the result of the "action" of Rahu, the "demon" who is jealous of Surya [Sun] and Chandra [Moon].
Eclipses tend to give a strong negative result to 1) the geographical 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).
Research on eclipses shows that the likelihood of various types of disasters increases during the "sphere of influence of an eclipse." In the next few weeks, events such as intensifying war, fires, airport disasters or unusual weather events are likely. One of the world leaders may get into a scandal or tragedy; powerful rulers can be blinded by anger, envy and ego, so there may be illogical or stupid decisions made by world leaders.
Malefic Rahu rules secretive, immoral behavior and cunning, like poisonous smoke that creeps silently. Therefore, the governments of the world must be hypervigilant in matters of subversion. Political leaders must strengthen their security and remain cool and calm when making critical decisions. Smugglers and terrorists often strike during the eclipse period. Riots or major food poisoning are possible. Seismic activity cannot be ruled out. For governments and police forces, the most important thing is vigilance.
Three paths lead to knowledge:
the path of reflection is the noblest path,
the path of imitation is the easiest path
and the path of experience is the most bitter path.
Japanese proverb
What is an eclipse?
An eclipse is the phenomenon of a visible conjunction of the Sun, Moon, Earth and sometimes other planets. Usually there are from 2 to 6 eclipses per year. Its sign and degree are important.
A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, obscuring part of the solar disk. This occurs when a new moon—a conjunction of the Sun and Moon—occurs near one of the Lunar Nodes.
A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, and the Earth's shadow falls on the Moon. This occurs on a full moon if it is observed near the Lunar Node. A lunar eclipse has a greater impact on the psyche than on the event plan of life, giving rise to a feeling of painful anxiety and the desire to do something without a clear understanding of the meaning and purpose of actions. Under a lunar eclipse, people experience a surge of emotions, illusions arise about partners and their own role in relationships
A solar eclipse can only occur on a new moon. A lunar eclipse can only occur during a full moon.
The Moon rules everything related to the interests of home and motherhood and represents the outer part of a person’s personality. Personality is what we see in external expression (appearance, words, actions) - i.e. everything that distinguishes one person from another.
The Moon rules the stomach, breasts, fertility, housekeeping, maternal instinct, adaptation to everyday circumstances, popularity. It has a significant impact on the general, mundane affairs of everyday life.
The Sun rules character, individuality (what we truly are), strength and authority, authority among others. The sun signifies the influence of high-ranking persons and the occupation of high positions.
The Sun rules hope, courage, generosity and inspiration, leadership and a high sense of honor. It is directly related to health and life principle. Dominates the sphere of individual progress and success in society. The Sun rules high positions and public service. In the human body, it rules the sides, back, heart, right eye of a man and left eye of a woman.
Knowing the dates of eclipses, we can be more conscious of the events in our lives and the lives of our loved ones, understanding their significance in time. During these periods, you should carefully monitor all current situations, meetings and new ideas. We must remember that every event that occurs during an eclipse is more important than we might initially assume. An eclipse emphasizes the significance of events and the seriousness of its consequences. Ideas, proposals, projects and people who enter our lives during the “season” of eclipses become part of our lives for a long period.
Everything that happens a week before the eclipse is endowed with a completely different quality than what happens a week later. Events that take place a week before an eclipse can very rarely be coordinated with how they were planned. They get out of control, acquiring used O greater scope and greater speed. Everything that happens on the day of the eclipse itself is endowed with fateful significance and is almost not subject to human control. During an eclipse, we find ourselves aware of information that could have been made available to us before, but for one reason or another did not reach our consciousness. Therefore, important decisions should be made in the week after the eclipse.
Solar and lunar eclipses have different effects. Solar eclipses stimulate a crisis in consciousness, change our internal attitudes, bringing events that we did not consciously cause, dictated by external circumstances. Here situations caused by karmic predetermination are realized.
Lunar eclipses are more associated with events caused by our thoughts and feelings. They indicate the area of everyday life where changes caused by a solar eclipse will occur.
If a lunar eclipse precedes a solar eclipse, the situation in a certain area of life reaches a critical point, requiring reorganization and pushing for rethinking and searching for a new approach to the time of the solar eclipse, which follows the lunar eclipse. If a solar eclipse is followed by a lunar eclipse, what was laid down at the beginning of the cycle will inevitably appear during the next lunar eclipse - new conscious attitudes will be realized or denied in situations that will determine the next stage of life. This can be a time of important choices and life-changing decisions.
And yet, how does a solar eclipse differ from a lunar eclipse?
Solar eclipse opens a new life cycle. It brings to the forefront matters that require urgent attention and brings the beginning of something new. A new perspective may appear on the horizon, and something important will begin to lose its former significance and move away. A solar eclipse gives events an impetus that can be felt in our personal affairs for several years. “Absorption of light” makes this period unpredictable, causing a feeling of uncertainty that will be revealed later. At this time, the luminaries are in conjunction, their influences are mixed, and the potencies of the new cycle are not fully manifested. Therefore, you need to be alert and not rush into new projects, no matter how promising they may seem. Don't make the final choice or make the final commitment. If the eclipse leaves the choice up to you, it is better to postpone all important decisions until a week after it. At this time, you do not have all the information, and you will have to pay for haste now later.
Moon eclipse. Unlike a solar eclipse, a lunar eclipse is the completion of some stage in our life. The luminaries have reached opposition - after passing this point, the Moon begins its return journey to the Sun. A lunar eclipse is a time of maximum illumination, the manifestation of questions and problems. This is a crisis as a result of which something will be radically changed or abandoned. One way or another, the circumstances will no longer remain the same. This is a time when relationship issues, legal disputes and open conflicts come to the fore. It is the most public and public time of the year, revealing information that may have remained hidden for a long time. Information spreads instantly, becoming public knowledge. The secret can become clear. If you have been busy looking for someone or something, you may find it during a lunar eclipse. It brings long-term projects and tasks to fruition. It can bring a long-awaited meeting or put an end to a long-pending breakup.
This is a time of public scandals, termination of contracts, or, on the contrary, mergers and unification of parties. Although conflict, by clarifying the positions of the parties, is often a way to solve a problem, you should still remember that at this time the emotional intensity is too strong, so beware of making spontaneous decisions. What is destroyed during this period is difficult to restore.
Eclipse dates in 2018
In January, themes, ideas, situations will appear that will be harbingers of what awaits us in 2019 and 2020.
January eclipses will help determine the tone of upcoming events. Therefore, in January and the first half of February it is useful to observe new trends, track emerging ideas, new topics that will appear on the agenda of political, economic, international life and in our personal affairs. In January, ideas for new cooperation or business expansion may appear. January-February contribute to the creation of professional groups, new political parties or blocs, corporate structures, new alliances, and business partnerships. Eclipses in Capricorn invite us to set long-term goals, define plans to achieve the goal and get involved in their implementation. Projects that will begin or be identified in the first month and a half of 2019 will be important in the long term and will provide benefits in the future.
Maximum phase at 05:12 GMT
The eclipse ends at 07:48 GMT
This is a difficult eclipse. The days around this date contain the most stressful and problematic aspects of the month. The week of the eclipse can bring a lot of excitement. This time can reveal secrets, bring unexpected news, changing plans. If at this time doubts arise about someone or something, some people or transactions seem unreliable or dubious, then with a high probability it is so. Now dishonesty or deception may be revealed.
Contradictions in old accumulated problems, in protracted and unresolved situations, will reach a peak and require solutions. But a solution can also come as a result of a severe conflict or an unexpected and radical turn of events. During this period, there is a possibility of terrorist attacks, natural disasters, force majeure, and earthquakes. This is a time of social unrest, revolutionary sentiments, protests that can lead to change, directing social processes in a new direction. This is the time when crisis becomes opportunity.
Now we need to draw useful conclusions, extract important experience from past situations so that it becomes our knowledge and wisdom. And also to part with what has ceased to be significant, since it does not meet your current needs and goals, in order to turn this page and begin a new stage. You shouldn’t hold on to something that has been asking for a long time from your life - at this time, the old goes away, making way for the new.
It is also not recommended to start important things near the dates of eclipses. On the day of the Solar Eclipse, if possible, do not go out into the open air, stay at home. This way you will not be overwhelmed by negative energy.
P.S. Be prudent, use the noble path,
way of thinking
Vedic Astrology claims that absolutely any eclipse carries negative energy that breaks destinies. However, the destructive solar impulse can be adjusted to your liking and used for good.
The sun symbolizes the power of human capabilities and positive thinking, capable of determining future destiny and directing creative energy. In other words, the daylight predetermines our future, helping to transform thoughts and make desires come true.
The danger of a solar eclipse
This astrological event is a dangerous time for the embodiment of ideas and the birth of new plans. When the light of the Sun is cut off, the Earth is plunged into darkness, both literally and figuratively. All-consuming darkness takes over. During this period, all living things on the planet are experiencing torment, people’s logical thinking is turned off and their consciousness is partially eclipsed. Intuition turns off, which provokes the adoption of incorrect, and sometimes dangerous, decisions. Any event is perceived as a threatening factor.
An eclipse of the Sun replaces our internal “settings,” attracting events that we consciously tried to avoid. External conditions provoke a crisis in accepting reality, preventing us from soberly assessing the situation. And the main danger awaits us in the materialization of karmic retribution.
However, on this day spiritual life gains strength. The energy impulse emanating from the eclipse simply must be used for spiritual practices. It is during this period that a person has a chance to change the space around him, his thoughts and destiny, only by turning to Higher powers.
The influence of a solar eclipse on human destiny
As you know, a solar eclipse comes into its own a week before the date of the eclipse itself and does not lose its power for another seven days after. Knowing the exact time of the darkening of the Sun, we can approach this period more consciously.
The day of the astrological event itself is endowed with fateful importance, subject to human control. At this moment, it is advisable to monitor everything that is happening: new plans, conversations, people’s behavior, and so on. Any action is of great significance, emphasizing the opportunity to solve many mysteries and find a way out of dead-end situations.
Everything you come into contact with during the eclipse season, be it people, things or emotions, everything becomes an integral part of your life for a long period of time. Also, during the closed sun season, we have access to any information that previously did not reach our consciousness. That is why you should engage in spiritual self-improvement: read prayers, listen to mantras, meditate. It is useful to forgive past grievances and get rid of negative emotions, thoughts, and habits.
A solar eclipse opens a new cycle of life for people, highlighting irreversible changes. If you follow the events of the day, you can discover new perspectives or get rid of many problems. By correctly directing the energy impulse, you can endow your destiny with the positive activity of the Sun for several years to come.
During the period of “absorption of light,” time is transformed, overtaking or slowing down a person’s life. This is a rather unpredictable and uncertain time, the meaning of which will be revealed later.
Positive changes directly depend on the location of the daylight relative to the stars and constellations. During this period, the influence of space objects is shifted and not fully manifested. Therefore, scientists, doctors and astrologers recommend being on the alert. You should not rush into new prospects and make final choices. If the eclipse gives you the opportunity to decide your own destiny, put it off until the next few days.
A solar eclipse is a rather dangerous time, which brings with it a huge number of possibilities. The events of this day are almost impossible to correct, changes are rapidly gaining momentum, and luck is assessed by the level of spirituality. The most important thing is to maintain positive thinking, which will help you direct energy flows in the right direction. We wish you a great mood. take care of yourself and don't forget to press the buttons and
