10.6 Eclipses

Part 2

10.6.4 Effects of Eclipses: An eclipse is a special kind of transit involving The Sun, Moon & Nodes and their effects on houses/ Bhavas and other planets (by conjunction or opposition). The significance of eclipse is determined by sign and Nakshtra in which the eclipse occurs. The duration of an eclipse depends on the amount of time of obstruction, which normally represents as many years for hours of obstruction in Solar eclipse and months in a Lunar eclipse. The effects of an eclipse in a fixed sign last much longer than in movable signs, but in common signs the effects commence much sooner. If an eclipse transits a planet or Kendra by conjunction or opposition, it puts the planet/ Kendra to a high energy state in which its capacity to generate action, either good or evil, is increased. These effects depend more upon the condition of the natal planet & its house position. An eclipse in conjunction with a natal planet weakens the significance of that planet. Thus activated, the natal planet is more likely to signify a major event later when transited by another major planet that acts as a trigger and signifies the time of release of the stored up energy. Mars denotes siblings & injuries, the Mercury aunts, intellectual life, business & journeys, the Jupiter children, knowledge & prosperity, the Venus wife, sisters, married life & comforts, and the Saturn elders & various impediments. Varahmihir in Brihat Samhita, Vol-1, has importance attached to the angles of Sun or Moon in relation to the place, where the eclipse is seen.
