Solar Eclipse of 30th April 2022 & Lunar Eclipse of 16th May 2022

Effects on Your Luck

Eclipses act as triggers rather than actual reasons for changes in our destiny. Since the effect of each eclipse lasts for about 4-6 months and eclipses take place about 5-6 months apart, it is a little-known fact that we live our lives from one eclipse to another. The next eclipses would come up in our lives on 30^th April 2022 between 12.15 pm & 16.07 pm India time / 06.45 am & 10.37 am GMT (Solar) and 16^th May 2022 between 07.02 am & 12.20 pm India time / 01.32 pm & 6.32 pm GMT (Lunar).

How does an Eclipse take Effect?

A Solar and a Lunar Eclipse take place when the Moon & Sun are together in case of Solar Eclipse and opposite each other in case of Lunar Eclipse. It is essential that the Sun also conjoins Rahu (Dragon’s Head) in the same zodiac sign for a Solar Eclipse to take place and the Moon conjoins Ketu (Dragon’s tail) in the same zodiac sign for a Lunar Eclipse to take place. That is why under mythology we hear about the Sun being ‘swallowed’ by Rahu and the Moon by Ketu during the times of eclipses and the complete or partial disappearance of Sun / Moon during eclipse times. Astrologically an eclipse is a period of generating huge magnetic energy like a black hole and is also the birth period of dark and unexplained events like virus mutations and geographic phenomena like earthquakes, Tsunamis, volcanic activity and the beginning and end of great empires.

Empirically we have found out that Covid19 mutations have come at times that add up logically for a period that has been very close to a Lunar Eclipse and waves have built up at the time of a subsequent Solar Eclipse leading to a connection between one set of eclipses and the other. With the Lunar Eclipse on 15^th May 2022, another mutation of the current virus cannot be ruled out. However, since no other planets are involved, we might be lucky and not get a severe infection version.

Effects of these eclipses on individuals like us

While eclipses are more of an economic and world level phenomenon giving birth to events that go beyond our individual charts, still each house in your horoscope that will host the eclipse will get depressed for 4-6 months leading to a general slowdown in that aspect of your life. Logically when the eclipse takes place in a good house, your luck suffers while a bad house eclipse helps you cut down the bad effects and make progress and unexpected gains. Typically, the effect of an eclipse when it takes place in one of your houses is as below:

• In the first House - challenges in health, name and fame, general luck, and well-being.
• In the second house – challenges in finances, family matters, psychological disturbance, and eating disorder.
• In the third house – the effects are positive as you will see a surge in growth and energy while relations with siblings could slide.
• In the fourth house – challenges at home and with health of mother, real estate disputes and general loss of political power.
• In the fifth house – challenges in matters relating to children, investments and their returns, restless mind, and worries.
• In the sixth house – the effects are positive as health improves, you are able to overcome competition and make tremendous growth at work with aggressive actions.
• In the seventh House - challenges in relationships, marriage and business matters.
• In the eight house – the effects are positive as new unexpected events may lead to possible gains, inheritance could come about, and an old hurdle could give way to progress.
• In the ninth house – challenges to general luck and well-being, issues with regard to father, travel / public position could go down.
• In the tenth house – challenges in career and professional growth, some harm to status and position, tax / legal hassles could come up too.
• In the eleventh house – the effects are positive as income rises, there are opportunities to celebrate and party with friends, general all-round progress would take place.
• In the twelfth house – the effects are positive as progress will come from overseas and growth will come in an all-round manner at work. Good period for building new relationships.

You will note that the effects of a Solar Eclipse are usually visible to you and people around you and experience this at a physical level; while that of a Lunar Eclipse are usually felt on a psychological level and people are not able to see any pressure you might be feeling, making it more difficult to handle the issues.

Benefits of Eclipses Reading

We would prepare an Eclipses reading covering:

• Effect of the Solar and Lunar Eclipse on you.
• Even the planet Mercury would begin retrograding during these days, because of which the effects could be more challenging than usual. To help you handle the issues, we have included the effects of Mercury in retrogression in this reading.
• Challenges and opportunities that will come your way during this period.
• Remedies to overcome difficult times. Eclipses relate to past Karma a lot and so the remedies, prayers and donations recommended in the Eclipses report and made during the eclipse time are most beneficial.
