SOLAR ECLIPSE
SNAKE PLANETS RAHU & KETU ENCIRCLE ALL PLANETS

Solar Eclipse: Snake Planets Encircle All Planets

The upcoming solar eclipse on June 21st is a day of rare planetary alignment- all the planets will be encircled by the snake planets Rahu and Ketu, and major planets Jupiter, Saturn, Venus, and Mercury will be in retrograde. Furthermore, during this eclipse, the Sun, Moon, and Rahu will be in the star Mrigasira, ruled by Mars. Mrigasira, the star of searching, presided by Soma, the Moon God radiates the energy to help manifest results for what you seek. The term Soma also refers to Amrita, the divine nectar that is the elixir of life. Soma is the source of energy and vitality of the Gods and Pitris (Ancestors). Performing Tarpanam and offering your prayers on this day can help your ancestors reach the divine light.

As the day is filled with the energy of the searching star Mrigasira, it is ideal to seek the blessings of your ancestors and perform remedies to clear karma and reduce the adverse effects of the eclipse. It is not advisable to start any new ventures or money-making initiatives.

Impact of this Rare Solar Eclipse

During the upcoming eclipse, all planets will be afflicted by Rahu and Ketu in the sign Gemini, the house of Mercury. Vedic Astrology principles explain that the below areas signified by the planets will be impacted during the solar eclipse.

On a Personal Level

The annual solar eclipse happening in the star Mrigasira ruled by the Moon God Soma could bring emotional imbalance and create confusion. It could also make you feel indecisive and insecure. As the star Mrigasira is in the sign Gemini, the house of communication, in the natural zodiac, there are chances for your communication to be misinterpreted. So you should be careful during casual conversations or/and while sending official communication. As Gemini is also the house of efforts, your efforts to remember and honor your ancestors by sponsoring Tarpanam (ancestral offering) can help invoke their blessings that can help remove the hurdles which are blocking your way and help you march towards success.

On a Global Level

According to Vedic astrology, the occurrence of an eclipse in any particular sign, star, and association of planets plays a vital role in revealing global events. It can be said that eclipses reveal events, and planetary transits trigger those events. Veda Shastra says that the impact of those events would be profoundly felt in the countries in which the eclipses are visible. This annual solar eclipse would be visible in India, Nepal, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Ethiopia, Congo, and the Central African Republic.

This year, the solar eclipse happening in the star Mrigasira in the sign Gemini receives the aspect of Mars. Together, this combination suggests the spread of airborne diseases, law and order issues, negative influence on world leaders leading to impulsive decisions, and a potential threat to the life of world leader(s). Drugs and other addictive habits could create problems with the younger generation.

On the positive side, there are possibilities for scientists to find a cure for terminal illnesses and other rare diseases as Rahu will be in the star Mrigasira, presided by Soma, who is the source of energy and vitality. People would seek spiritual help for transformation. Overall, positive thoughts and actions will see fruitful results.
