The astrological implications of solar eclipses

Solar or lunar eclipses are told to impact people, astrologically, only when they are spotted in the geographies where they live. 2021 will see two solar eclipses and neither of them can be seen from India. Hence, all the leading astrologers say Indians need not worry about the Sutak period. No ‘dos and don’ts’ are prescribed for these two solar eclipses in 2021 for Indians, as they cannot be seen from India.

Solar eclipse -- dos and don’ts

During solar and lunar eclipses, astrology says people belonging to different stars are affected differently. While people of some signs get to reap positive benefits, persons of some zodiac signs can face adverse results.

Consuming food, handling sharp objects, and indulging in enjoyment are prohibited during eclipses. Prayers and worship done during eclipses can benefit people immensely. Chanting Gayatri mantra and slokas of Lord Vishnu will help avert the negative results of eclipses.

The Sutak period, when people are advised to give up the regular and important activities during eclipses, does not apply to both the solar eclipses in 2021 for people in India as neither of these eclipses will be visible from India.
