Annular Solar Eclipse: An Astrological Study

As it is mentioned several times, Solar Eclipse, also known as Surya Grahan in Hindi is of great importance to the followers of Hindu religion and culture. It takes place when the Planet Moon comes between the Sun and Earth and inturn covers a significant portion of the Sun. What follows after is what we call Solar Eclipse. Since the eclipse will be partially visible from our country, we should take the astrological impacts into account and observe the necessary measures which will be mentioned in the upcoming sections of this blog.

As per the Hindu Panchang, the third and annular Solar Eclipse of 2019 will occur on the Amavasya Tithi of Paush month. Further astrological calculations suggest that it will take place in the Sagittarius zodiac sign  while the Moola Nakshatra is going on. In such a situation, it can be said that natives who are under the governance of this particular sign and Nakshatra can remain at the receiving end of adverse outcomes. Sagittarius zodiac sign is ruled by the planet Jupiter, while the Moola Nakshatra is governed by the cruel Ketu. In order to keep the negative repercussions of this Eclipse at bay, it is advised to pacify the ruling Lords of the concerned zodiac signs and Nakshatras. Accordingly, one should wear Guru Yantra  and Ketu Yantra to pacify Jupiter and Ketu respectively.

Annular Eclipse 2019 : Sutak Period

The Sutak period during any eclipse can be described as the time which is regarded as highly inauspicious to carry out certain tasks and activities. The same has been said because it is believed that negative results come to the forefront if any auspicious activity is performed during the concerned time frame. Usually, the Sutak Kaal or period begins right before the eclipse and concludes when the Eclipse comes to an end. Natives should take a proper bath after the completion of the Sutak period. Here, readers should know that the Sutak kaal or period is not taken into account in the case of children, elderly people and those who are sick.
