Partial Solar Eclipse – October 25, 2022 (IST)

As India is readying itself for one of its most significant festivals, Diwali, another cosmic event is simultaneously taking shape on the side. The partial Solar Eclipse, which is happening on October 25, 2022, will have prevailing impacts on the lives of people not just in India but across the globe.

It is an extremely crucial phenomenon, one that will have a significant impact on the different rising/moon signs. If you are inquisitive about this upcoming cosmic event, we will be discussing more on that in this blog.

What is a Partial Solar Eclipse?

According to Wikipedia, “A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby obscuring Earth's view of the Sun, totally or partially.”

It is one of those important cosmic events that coincide with the alignment of the new moon, which indicates the fact that the Moon is closest to the plane of the Earth’s orbit.

A partial solar eclipse happens when the Moon comes in between the Earth and the Sun but instead of covering the Sun’s disk entirely, it covers it partially. During such an event, the Moon, the Sun, and the Earth aren’t in a straight alignment with each other.

The Moon casts the outer part of its shadow, known as the penumbra, on the Earth. When you stare at a partial solar eclipse, it looks as if the Moon has taken a bite out of the Sun. In some cases, the Moon covers the Sun’s disk in such a way that it seems like it’s a total eclipse.

This year’s last Surya Grahan will happen on the next day of Diwali, which is on October 25, 2022. This is also the same day when several Indians will be conducting Govardhan Puja.

Dos and Don’ts during the Partial Solar Eclipse

As monumental as a partial solar eclipse is, there are a variety of factors you need to keep in mind during the “Sutak” period and until the solar eclipse event is over.

Some of the dos and don’ts worth adhering to are:

Once the partial solar eclipse is over, ensure that you take a bath.

Chanting “Om Namah Shivaya” during the eclipse is advisable. Chanting this mantra during the eclipse will amplify its positive impact.

Sun represents the digestive capabilities, hence avoid overeating or eating unhealthy, deep-fried foods and high-sugar foods from the Sutak period until the eclipse ends. If possible, avoid high-calorie foods during this period, especially given that it's the Diwali period and you might be prone to eating without any inhibition.

If possible, cook all the meals before 12:30 PM Also, as per the shastras, before the eclipse starts, during the sutak period, ensure to keep basil leaves in water and on cooked food, so that the food can be consumed later too.

If you are pregnant, ensure you rest during the eclipse hours including the Sutak period as mentioned above.

Astrological Phenomenon behind the Partial Solar Eclipse

With all the basic information, dos, and don’ts out of the way, let me give you a brief background of the astrological phenomenon associated with the partial solar eclipse.

The eclipse is taking place at 7 degrees 51 minutes in the Swati Nakshatra (Pada 1). It is aspected by Saturn from Capricorn.

Sun is our Atma, our soul, and the moon is our mind which is getting eclipsed by the chaya grahas Rahu & Ketu. This creates a lot of unrest and uncertain times. Expect major shifts during this eclipse season.

Sun represents our father in Vedic astrology, so would recommend you take care of your father, and his health and express your love and affection towards him.

Also, Venus is under combustion and it will remain at the same degree as that of the eclipse. Due to this, the feeling of happiness, love quotient, intimacy, and creativity during this period will be scarce.

Since the Sun is being eclipsed, the ego might get hit. On a mundane level, this eclipse will have a huge impact on leadership, and government policies across the globe. Also, Saturn is aspecting this eclipse, which will influence karmic events in one’s life.

How Will the Partial Solar Eclipse Affect Us Based on the Ascendant/Moon Signs?

The analysis of the impact of this partial solar eclipse is based on side-real Vedic Astrology. We generally recommend you watch out 4 to 5 days prior to the eclipse and a week after that. Remember that we have a lunar eclipse in Nov, so just go with the flow.

1. Aries

Pay close attention and be careful with regard to your relationship with your partner. Now is not a good time to explore any partnership deals in the business. Since your Lagna lord, Mars is getting retrograde from the 30th Oct 2022 and will turn direct on January 12, 2023, we’d recommend that you stay mindful in the upcoming few months.

2. Taurus

If you are struggling with your health, now is the time to prioritize it. Also, avoid overspending during this period. You might feel burnt out or overwhelmed during this period.

3. Gemini

If you have some creative ideas in your mind, we’d recommend that you don’t act on these ideas and park them for now. Once the eclipse season is over, you can then consider going ahead with your plans. Also, now is not a good time to indulge in new relationships. Play safe when investing in the stock market, especially when it comes to speculative market investment.

4. Cancer

Work on maintaining peace at home. Pay close attention to your mother’s health and ensure that you also prioritize your relationship with her. Be watchful of your home’s peace and harmony and your mother’s overall well-being. You might feel like relocating or shifting to a new place but now is not a good time to make a decision.

5. Leo

Avoid acting on any decision at the moment. Now is not a good time to make rash decisions. If you are planning to sign any agreements or contracts now, avoid it until the eclipse season is over. Drive with caution during this period and also avoid getting into any unnecessary fights with your neighbors. Your ego might be impacted during this period as your Lagna lord is getting eclipsed but things will soon tide over, so be patient.

6. Virgo

Finances and wealth management are crucial concerns during the eclipse season. Things seem unstable at the moment as your second lord Venus is eclipsed and also under combustion. Things will stabilize soon enough. Stick around until the eclipse season is over.

7. Libra

The eclipse season might make you feel burned out, so ensure that you use this period as downtime and focus on getting some rest. Don’t be too harsh on yourself. Going with the flow is advisable. Avoid conflicting situations as they may be tasking.

8. Scorpio

Eclipse is taking place in your 12th house, watch out for your expenses. If you are planning to travel internationally, you may end up spending more. Also, pay close attention to your health since your Lagna lord Mars is turning retrograde in the 8th house on October 30, 2022.

9. Sagittarius

Ensure that you do complete research before doing any investments. Now might seem like a good time to meet friends and get together but we’d suggest that things might look like chaos at the moment. Your Lagna lord is turning direct on November 24, 2022, so bright days are ahead of you.

10. Capricorn

There is a party of planets happening in your 10th house. Also, careers and opportunities are on the radar. It is just a matter of time before things will start looking up for you. Don’t jump into things without a close look at things. Good news is coming your way soon as Saturn is turning direct. It would then be a great time to reap the fruits. We recommend you just be a little patient here.

11. Aquarius

Higher studies are on your mind, along with trips and travel in the near future. Avoid getting into fights with your partner. Also, religious travels are on the card at the moment.

12. Pisces

Jupiter in the Lagna is currently your savior during these testing times as the eclipse is in the 8th house for you. Pay close attention to your health. If you are rushing into things, we’d recommend taking things slowly until the eclipse season is over.

Remedy during the Partial Solar Eclipse

The best remedy to tide through the impacts of the partial solar eclipse is to chant “Om Namah Shivay” during the eclipse season. Chanting this mantra and similar mantras will have amplified benefits during the eclipse.
