Lunar Eclipse 2022

DateNovember 3, 2022

Eclipses, solar or lunar, are important phenomena in Astrology. They are caused by Rahu and Ketu, which are considered malefic planets. But it does not mean that they cause only bad things to happen in our life. Sometimes, they can also trigger good events.

Lunar Eclipse 2022

A lunar eclipse takes place when the Earth’s shadow blocks the sunlight from casting a reflection on the Moon. This happens on a Full Moon night. When the Sun, Moon, and Earth are in perfect alignment, a full lunar eclipse occurs. But, if they are not perfectly aligned, a partial eclipse may occur.

Lunar eclipses are not as frequent as Solar eclipses. In 2022, there are two Solar and two Lunar eclipses.

Lunar Eclipses in Astrology

A Lunar Eclipse is less intense than a Solar eclipse. It’s a time to let go of the past, or old habits, fears, feelings, or situations. It helps you to move forward. Both Solar and Lunar Eclipses can lead to major personal growth.

Lunar eclipses make us aware of the influence of others. We begin to see people in a different light, causing a shift in our perspective. What we see may not be pleasing. But it enables us to let go of anything that is not serving our soul. In other words, it is a time to purge or release something from our lives and say goodbye to it.

In Hinduism, Lunar Eclipses’ Sutak Kaal is not the time to do holy and auspicious things. Some may need to take special care. Sutak time for Lunar Eclipse 2022 begins roughly 9 hours before the eclipse. However, it has no scientific relevance. But some regulations are called for. Pregnant women need to take precautions.

Story behind Eclipses

In Vedic astrology, eclipses are caused by the shadow planets of astrology, Rahu and Ketu.
A demon called Swarbhanu disguised himself as a God and drank a few drops of Amrit, which Lord Vishnu, as Mohini, was offering the Gods. But Lord Surya and Lord Chandra revealed his identity to Lord Vishnu.

Vishnu cut the head and the body of the demon with his discus into two parts, which became Rahu and Ketu. But the demon didn’t die due to the Amrit he had drunk. Out of enmity, Rahu and Ketu supposedly take revenge by causing Solar and Lunar eclipses every year. They are believed to swallow the Sun during the eclipse.

There are many dos and don’ts about eclipses. Every eclipse has a “Sutak Kaal,” when the eclipse is at its maximum. At this time, it is said that one should avoid doing certain things and also do some rituals to protect themselves from the negative energies of the eclipses.

Here are some dos and don’ts for the Lunar Eclipse 2022:
