Eclipse Influence and Astrology
An eclipse is an astronomical event that occurs when one object in the sky moves into the shadow of another. The term is most often used to describe either a solar eclipse, i.e. when the Moon’s shadow crosses Earth’s surface, or a lunar eclipse, i.e. when the Moon moves into the shadow of Earth.
A recent excellent article describes eclipses and how to view them. Another website gives more detailed info about future lunar and solar eclipses to occur up to 2020 and the geographic region of visibility.
This sky event is known to play a significant role in lives of individuals, corporations and nations. According to Vedic astrology the impact of eclipse is focused on the region of its visibility. The influence of eclipse in individual life depends completely upon the house and sign in which the eclipse occurs, and upon any close planetary aspects that may also occur.
On Friday, 2008 August 01, a total eclipse of the Sun is visible from within a narrow corridor that traverses half the Earth. The path of the Moon’s umbral shadow begins in Canada and extends across northern Greenland, the Arctic, central Russia, Mongolia, and China.
A partial eclipse is seen within the much broader path of the Moon’s penumbral shadow, which includes northeastern North America, most of Europe and Asia. The Aug. 1 eclipse may presage major events in China (We know the Summer Olympics begin Aug. 8 ) and other regions over which the eclipse is visible. Those who live in these areas with sidereal lagna (ascendant), moon or sun in cancer between 14 to 16 degrees may be adversely affected. Implications for individuals can be detailed only after analysis.

Connecting Decisions – Watch Night Sky
Here is a link to a view of the sky from HubbleSite. Enjoy the cosmic sightseeing made possible by the modern technology. A wonderful guide to constellations, deep sky objects and events.
Learn about the objects that Astrologers claim influence your life and decisions. Try to see if you can relate these to the microscopic genome in you which medical experts say influence you. One set of objects, planets far away from you on the zodiac, the other set, genes deep inside you, distributed in each and everyone of your cells.
Can you connect both of these sets and more than that both of these sets to your own individual entity and its total functioning? Difficult, isn’t it? For some, it may even be mindless to try. Genes may be logical but stars and planets, perhaps, far-fetched.
But that’s how science has been in all ages. It needs faith to look beyond. Ask those who feel the connection and then seek for yourself.
