'THE SCIENCE OF ECLIPSES.
According
to our study the astronomical appearance of eclipses in the sky is due to the movement of the stellar bodies of the sun moon and the earth.
The
solar eclipses and lunar eclipses occurs when there is earth between sun and
moon and moon between sun and earth at different angles
But
according astrology these eclipses carry a much more significance than other
.they are due the reflections of two shadow planes called rahu and ketu they are
symbolized as snake head and snake body planets or dragon planets in some tradition.
These
eclipses carry biogenetical , astro- psychological and zoological ,environmental
spiritual effects upon various spheres of life. according to which various predictions are forecasted and
pre cautionary measures are given to protect ill effects of the eclipses .
They
start from embryonic, bio genital, psychological disorders to environmental
measures . they project also good currents which are received by the spiritualist
and astrologist through serene meditations
which are used or human welfare.
The
lunar eclipse gives an opportunity to transcend the mind and sublimate the
personality into the background consciousness of the soul through right
meditation or mantra given by guru or chanting gayatri mantra.
The
solar eclipse takes soul into background with sprit where you can experience
the ultimate supreme consciousness of god when you follow the injunctions of
any guru.
the
Rahu and Ketu indicates our past karma
which effects on our mind and life to trigger our memory of our real consciousness
and awareness of our true identity before we come in to body. so these are the
points of light to trace back our consciousness into our true identify. They
are symbolized in Chinese astrology as
