EYE ON THE SKY: TOTAL LUNAR ECLIPSE for  MARCH 13-14TH

There is a total lunar eclipse  running from about 10 pm -2 am Chicago Time.   It is visible in the US .      You can view times in your local area at https://www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/lunar/2025-march-14 to see when the exact maximum eclipse will occur where you live.    They are not considered auspicious to watch if you live in areas where they are visible and better to be in meditation.

This is eclipse and will impact  Leo and Virgo rising the most and also Aquarius and Pisces with the exact degree at 29.51 Leo  so if you have key planets like the Sun, Moon, Rahu/Ketu, or the ascendant around these degrees it will impact you and particularly and if you are also would have to run a Moon/Rahu or Rahu/Moon or Sun/Ketu or Ketu/Sun period for it to have a huge impact and mostly it is a lot of emotional noise.  People fear eclipses but they are powerfully spiritual for meditation and personal revelations.

Eclipses are good for meditation and that is the best way to spend time during an eclipse as the meditation can be deeper. Outwardly the emotions and mind get a bit frazzled so never a good time to make major decisions during an eclipse.  When I have watched Lunar Eclipses, I tend to have wild and irrational fears running through my head. The rule is never to act on anything or fear anything during an eclipse.  Still, an eclipse can bring to light is hidden unconscious patterns and if you have revelations, consider them after the eclipse.

Both of my Gurus have advocated meditation during eclipses over the years.  One of them recently  commented on this one:

“The mind is connected with the moon, the body is connected with the Earth and the Sun is connected with both. The time when all three come in alignment is good for spiritual practices. It is not a good time to eat, or indulge in pleasures. It is a good time to conserve energy. So, from ancient times it is said that you should not eat during the eclipse, and you should meditate.

Eclipse is a very good time for mantra chanting and meditation. Chanting mantras at the time of the eclipse is much more powerful. This is the ancient saying.  Mantras are said to be 1000 times more powerful during the eclipse.

Subconscious patterns can come up during eclipses that provide deep insights into your life. Mostly you will get a lot of garbage thoughts during eclipses so ignore them but if you have an aha experience after the eclipse and it seems very valid, then it is time to make changes around those patterns that are not useful.

One or two hours before an eclipse, stop eating so that the food gets digested well during the eclipse time you have an empty stomach, and on empty stomach chanting and mantras are done for maximum results.  It is not good to eat food that was cooked during an eclipse so not a good day to do take-out from food cooked during the eclipse.

Eclipse is a very auspicious time for sadhus; it is not a bad time. It is a bad time for enjoyment and pleasure. And when you chant 108 times during this period it is equivalent to 10,000 times or more! So meditation and chanting are highly recommended during this period.

When we are in an activity, our mind is always focused on the front of the body. Close your eyes now, you’ll feel your mind is in front because the mind goes through the eyes to look at the world, and through the ears. During the activity, the mind is mostly focused on the frontal part of the body. For relaxing, we take our mind to the background. You will see that suddenly there is something different happening. This is necessary, from time to time. (SSRS)

So depending on what part of the world you are in, enjoy the eclipse with deep meditation and chanting and remember most of the noise and garbage going through your mind is Maya or illusion.   Sometimes after an eclipse, you will get a glimpse into some deep subconscious pattern that you have and the eclipse can reveal and help you dive deeper and heal.

   The lunar eclipse is happening as the Sun is about to move into Pisces on March 14th.  The eclipse is on the Leo/Aquarius  axis highlighting challenges governmental leadership vs. group dynamics and humanitarian efforts.   The eclipse is in the constellation of Uttara Phalguni  (Leo 26.20-Virgo 10.) ruled by the Sun and this constellation is particularly significant for humanitarian and social services.   Lunar eclipses have an impact for at least two weeks but luckily we will not have planets going over the eclipse point at 29.51 Leo during the next few weeks.

Most of you will get to sleep during the eclipse but if you wake up, sit up and do some meditation and your experiences will be more profound than normal.
