Impact of Lunar Eclipse Occurring Shortly on Pregnant Women: Religious & Scientific Aspect

On this very basis, let’s move forward and learn why pregnant women are scared of the eclipse and you will also get to know its religious and scientific background.
Astronomically, a lunar eclipse occurs when the Sun, the Earth, and the Moon are exactly or very closely aligned with earth in between the Sun and the Moon, and because of which the Moon is in the shadow of the earth. It happens only on the night of a full moon, known as Purnima.
Religious Aspect: As per beliefs, at anyhow, if the rays of the Moon fall on a pregnant woman, there are chances that the child forming in the womb will be born with Doshas in Kundli.
Scientific Aspect: According to the scientific aspect, Science states that the Moon is very close to the earth during the eclipse and its gravitational force remains very high. In such conditions, there is a great possibility of major changes in the hormones of a pregnant woman.
However, the Moon is the symbol of fertility and in such situations, the timings of the lunar eclipse are considered to be auspicious and favourable for those who are in the phase of ovulation for pregnancy.
Because of these two reasons, it is always suggested to pregnant women to stay inside during the eclipse and it has been going on over a long period of time. By doing so, they can protect their child nurturing in their womb. Along with this, pregnant women must avoid using pointed objects such as scissors, knives, sewing, cutting, etc. Any activity concerning such things can impact health adversely.

During the Sutak Kaal, the doors of the temples remain shut and in houses, curtains of the temples are dropped. Apart from this, worship is not recommended during the Sutak Kaal.

When the eclipse ends, the Sutak Kaal also gets completed. After this, it is advisable to take a bath. Also, cleanliness must be properly maintained. Then, worship is performed.
