History of Eclipses

Accurate records of eclipses are known to have been kept since at least 747 BC.

stone henge astrology

Many believe Stonehenge was constructed for the purpose of recording and monitoring eclipses. Evidence indicates that Stonehenge, built during the same era as the Great Pyramid of Egypt, was a brilliantly conceived astronomical observatory. Certain holes were apparently used as an eclipse predictor.

Did you know that...

You must never look directly at a Solar Eclipse, or you risk damaging your eyesight.
A solar eclipse typically happens twice a year, about 5-6 months apart.

Eclipses have been long dreaded on this earth. They were regarded as being the portents of evil.

But Eclipses are very beautiful and dramatic celestial events that are visible from Earth and have are being taken very important by Astrologers and Astronomers world wide.

Solar Eclipse- This is a phenomenon in which the Moon passes in front of the Sun, blocking sunlight. A total eclipse occurs when the Moon completely obscures the Sun, leaving only the solar corona visible.

Lunar Eclipse - When the Moon passes through the Earth's shadow and seems to disappear a Lunar eclipse occurs.

Eclipses and Astrology

The powerful alignments of the Sun, Moon and Earth that occur at the time of an eclipse increase the energy reaching the earth from the outer atmosphere. This energy enters the field of the earth at a particular zodiac degree, depending on the celestial location of the eclipse. If these sensitive degrees appear at important positions in ones birth chart, then there would be marked changes in his/her life. Ancient astrologers tended to view eclipses as negative events, since they often brought changes that upset the existing order of things. But Modern astrologers believe that eclipses bring about a change and also signal opportunities for growth.

The Saros Series

Eclipses follow a cycle called the Saros Series. Eclipses within a Saros Series repeat every 18 years plus minus 11 days, and move 10� further along in zodiacal longitude. An eclipse within a Saros Series, begins at either the North or South Pole, and starts out as a series of partial eclipses and over time they become total eclipses and then eventually end off again as partial eclipses.

Each Saros Series lasts for about 1300 years. At any one time there are 42 active Saros Series. A solar eclipse takes place when a New Moon occurs within 18� 31' of the Moon's North or South Node. A total solar eclipse occurs when the New Moon is within 9� 55' of the Nodal position. The Sun crosses over the Nodal axis twice a year and hence there are 2 solar eclipses each year. Whether the eclipse will be total or partial depends on where the eclipse is in the Saros Series.

Eclipses and Disasters

There seems to be some correlation between eclipses and the occurrence of earthquakes. The 11 August 1999 eclipse was followed by the devastating Turkey eclipse on 17 Aug 1999. And then the 26 Jan 2001 earthquake in India followed a 9 Jan 2001 lunar eclipse.

Myths behind Eclipses

The people of many cultures from all parts of the world have developed various myths and legends about eclipses. Many believe that an eclipse is an omen of some natural disaster or the death or downfall of a ruler. Another pervasive myth involves an invisible dragon or other demon who devours the Sun during an eclipse.

The Chinese produce great noise and commotion to frighten away the dragon and restore daylight. In India people may immerse themselves in water up to their necks, believing this act of worship will help the Sun and Moon defend themselves against the dragon. In Japan, the custom is to cover wells during an eclipse to prevent poison from dropping into them from the darkened sky.
