News Topical, Digital Desk : When the moon changes its color to a bright red or beige in the sky, the world knows it as a lunar eclipse. From a scientific perspective, it's a game of hide-and-seek between the sun, Earth, and moon. However, according to centuries-old beliefs and astrological calculations, this phenomenon isn't limited to the sky, but also alters the course of a person's mind and life.

Why do people's lives change?

According to ancient texts of Indian astrology and the Vedas , "Chandrama Manaso Jatak" means the Moon is the ruler of the mind. Since a large part of our bodies is water and the Moon has the power to cause ocean tides, its changing energy during an eclipse profoundly impacts our minds and emotions.

It's often seen that after an eclipse, some people make sudden major decisions or experience significant changes in their lives. According to astrological research and mythological texts (such as the Matsya Purana), an eclipse is a time of "purification." It brings out suppressed emotions, leading people to abandon old habits and begin anew. This is why, for some, it can lead to a major U-turn in their careers or relationships.

The mystery and psychological impact of Rahu-Ketu

Mythology mentions Rahu and Ketu swallowing the Moon, which is seen as a symbol of energy blockage. Psychologically, an eclipse can also create a strange silence and heaviness in the atmosphere. Astronomers and spiritualists believe that self-spiritual practice or meditation during this time multiplies a person's willpower, which in turn becomes the foundation for success.

What to do after the eclipse?

Some simple methods have been described in the scriptures to bring positive changes in life:

Purification: Taking a bath after the eclipse is over and sprinkling Ganga water in the house removes negative energy.

Importance of Charity: It is believed that charity done at this time reduces the burden of past deeds and opens new avenues.

Silence and meditation: Staying calm during and immediately after the eclipse prevents wrong decisions.
