It is Completely out of the Ordinary

Scientifically, the Sun, the Earth and the Moon are in straight line during Solar eclipse and the Sun seems to be "overshadowed". The New Moon occurring in the Vedic months of Thai (Jan-Feb) and Aadi (July-Aug) are considered very special. This is because these are the first New Moon of Vedic Solstices called as Uttarayana and Dakshinayana respectively. These signify a divine time shift for celestials and represents a perfect opportunity to appease your ancestors and get incredible blessings.Per Vedic myth, millions of celestials including all the nine planets involve themselves in joint prayers during the Solar eclipse. This happens only once in two or three lifetimes to have a perfect Solar eclipse like the one this Month.
Dattatreya Siva Baba encourages everyone to be prayerful and perform rituals to your ancestors and the Divine during the need for New Moon and eclipse.
What to expect?

For all of us, at a personal level, eclipses signify "Change". It is time for new beginnings and our ability to adapt to change will be tested to the limits. Responding graciously and keeping a positive outlook to the new events and relationships would prove most beneficial.
If your Moon sign is one of Cancer, Scorpio or Pisces, you are highly advised to perform your remedies without fail. Natives of all Moon signs will be impacted and should perform remedies. Our remedial astrologers suggest rituals to the Sun on the day of eclipse to make sure that you have a smooth outlook for rest of the year.
What This Will Mean For You In Your Life Now...
As per Siddhas, the New Moon represents synergy of solar and lunar rays. Lord Shiva's right eye signifies the Sun and his left eye signifies the Moon. When Lord Shiva's yogic vision, both left and right are focused on the third eye, New Moon is created. This combination of various energies is physically seen in Southern India at the vortex named Bhavani. This is where the three holy rivers of Cauvery, Bhavani and Amuda Nadi merge together. Lord Shiva in the form of Sangameswara blesses one at this power spot. This is also a place where the rare Gayathri Linga showers its blessings. It is said that this Linga was consecrated by Celestials, well before the time when Gayatri Mantra was given, to ensure that human beings get Abundant Material and Spiritual Evolution.
