Watch the sky: Penumbral lunar eclipse September 17-18T.H. 2024
A penumbral lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes through the penumbra, the outer, faint part of the Earth’s shadow. This type of lunar eclipse is not as dramatic as other types of lunar eclipses and is often mistaken for a regular full moon. A penumbral lunar eclipse can be hard to see because the Moon only darkens slightly. There is no direct impact because in the true nodal system, the Node is at 12 degrees Pisces/Virgo and the Full Moon is at 1.27 degrees Pisces.

This is a solar eclipse and will most impact Virgo and Pisces rising. It is exactly 1 degree of Virgo/Pisces. So if you have important planets like Sun, Moon, Rahu/Ketu or Ascendant around these degrees, it will affect you. There will be a lot of emotional noise in most cases as it will have a big impact especially if you have Moon/Rahu, Rahu/Moon, Sun/Rahu or Rahu/Sun periods that have to run as well. People fear eclipses but when it comes to meditation and personal revelation, eclipses are powerfully spiritual.
A solar eclipse is a great way to spend time during an eclipse, as it lends itself to meditation and allows for deeper meditation. Outwardly, emotions and minds are a bit confused, so it is not a good time to make big decisions during an eclipse. Watching a lunar eclipse can send wild and irrational fears racing through your mind. The rule is not to take any action or fear anything during an eclipse. Still, an eclipse can bring hidden unconscious patterns to light, and any revelations should be considered after the eclipse.
Two of my teachers have been promoting eclipse meditation for many years, and one of them recently commented:
“The mind is connected to the moon, the body is connected to the earth and the sun is connected to both. When these three are aligned, it is good for spiritual practice. It is not a good time to eat or indulge in pleasures. It is a good time to conserve energy. That is why the ancient saying goes that during a solar eclipse, one should not eat and should meditate.
A solar eclipse is a very good time for mantra chanting and meditation. If you chant a mantra during a solar eclipse, it becomes much more powerful. This is an ancient saying. It is said that during a solar eclipse, the mantra becomes 1000 times more powerful.
During an eclipse, subconscious patterns can emerge that can bring deep insights into your life. Most of the time, a lot of nonsense thoughts come to mind during an eclipse, so ignore them. However, if you have an “aha moment” after an eclipse and it seems very valid, it’s time to change unhelpful patterns.
Solar eclipse is a very auspicious time for a sadhu. It is not a bad time. It is a bad time for fun and joy. And if you chant 108 times during this period, it is equivalent to more than 10,000 times. Therefore, meditation and chanting are highly recommended during this period.
During activity, our mind is always focused on the front of the body. Close your eyes. You will feel that your mind is in the front because the mind sees the world through the eyes and the world through the ears. During activity, the mind is mainly focused on the front of the body. To relax, put your mind in the background. Suddenly you will see that something different is happening. This is what you need sometimes. (SSRS)
So enjoy the eclipse with some deep meditation and chanting depending on where you are in the world. And remember that most of the noise and garbage swirling around in your mind is maya – illusion. After the eclipse you may get a glimpse of some deep subconscious patterns you have. The eclipse can bring it to light and help you dive deeper and heal.
There’s a wide conjunction with Venus at the turn of Libra that can make you feel a little emotional, and as always, there may be some strange mental turmoil or intense feelings running through your mind.
The eclipse occurs on the Pisces/Virgo axis, which is the natural sign of the zodiac.Number And 6Number The house that highlights the challenges between service and sacrifice, health and letting go. It is in the sign of Pourbhadrapada, which has connections with secret societies and Jekyll and Hyde personalities, and challenges us to pursue the highest spiritual values and resist the dark energies that sometimes shake our souls.
The lunar eclipse will affect you for at least two weeks, but fortunately no planets will pass through it, as most of them will be on the opposite side of the sky. Saturn will pass through an eclipse next year in April 2025, but it will not be as harmful by then.
From a secular astrology perspective, this eclipse is very minor.
Lunar Eclipse Treatments from Cosmic Insights:
This lunar eclipse coincides with the birthday of Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth and prosperity.
On this day, Sri Suktam can be listened to as many times as needed to invoke Goddess Lakshmi’s blessings of abundance and prosperity.
The day before a lunar eclipse, it is advisable to cleanse your home and altars, for wherever there is purity, symbolized by Lord Vishnu, the energy of Goddess Lakshmi will be present.
We offer flowers (lotus) and coconut to Goddess Lakshmi. Coconut is also called Sripalam and is an important fruit to Sri (Lakshmi).
Powerful Remedies for This Eclipse Season
Using a dark blue ink pen, write the mantra “Om Dum Durgaye Namah” eleven times each day. As you write the mantra, repeat the mantra in your mind. This process of writing the mantra is called Likhita Japa. Fear is a theme during this eclipse season. Goddess Durga is worshipped for her ability to dispel fear and grant protection, so this practice is especially appropriate and effective. (Special thanks to Cosmic Insights for their remedies.)
