Know All About Eclipses And How They Influence Us

Eclipses are usually associated with beginnings and endings – internal as well as external. An Eclipse or Grahan always indicates a remarkable change or a meaningful event. And, the event or change maybe for the better, and might as well lead to positive results. However, from ancient times several people fear eclipses and consider it a bad omen that leads to an untoward incident like war, famine, etc. But, today astrologers view eclipses as an opportunity for development. Astrologically, an eclipse is regarded as a very important phenomenon, especially if it occurs in significant places in the horoscope of a person, or a country.


Eclipses generally occur 4 to 6 times in a year, and many individuals feel anxious during the eclipse period. Although the eclipse energy mostly prevails for a week before, or after the eclipse, the influence on events continues much longer, that is, up to 3 months in advance, and also 3 years later. Astrologers advice shunning about 3 days on either side of the eclipse or Grahan for starting any new project.
