What is Solar eclipse:

Solar Eclipse is generally regarded as a period of transformation with possible impacts of this celestial event. Let’s first understand what a solar eclipse is. Solar eclipse occurs when the moon partially or completely blocks sunlight from reaching a certain part of the Earth. A few regions of the Earth are engulfed in a shadow cast blocking sunlight reaching this planet. This event occurs when Earth, Moon and Sun get into an alignment of one single line and occurs every year.

Kindly note : The above information is based on general reading and may not resonate with everyone! My observations are based on Sidereal Vedic Astrology. The impact varies from each of the individuals as it depends on the Mahadasha (MD), Antar dasha (AD), Pratyantar dasha (PD) one is running. If an individual is running Rahu, Ketu, Sun, Moon MD/AD/PD , then you are likely to feel the energy of eclipses more in comparison to the others.
