The eclipse’s sutak starts at 2.54pm on 27th July. The actual eclipse starts at 11.54pm and ends at 3.55 am on 28th morning. Eating food is prohibited during this entire phase and so is doing any auspicious work. This grahan would fall in Uttarshad nakshatra and end in Shravan Nakshatra. The eclipse falls on the cancer/Capricorn axis. This eclipse will have a lot of effect on our mood as the energy of Mars in a retrograde motion completely overshadows Moon. Moon will be completely hidden by earth in its deepest shadow and with Mars influence it will be reddish in colour. Hence the name blood Moon. Along with Sun & Moon are Mars(R), Rahu/ketu and Mercury.This conjunction will give rise to anger and unnecessary arguments may take place. Keeping silent is strongly recommended in such situations as lots of unhappiness may come about if you go vocal. It is a good idea to do physical exercise or go running to exhaust your anger and frustration as this phenomenon is hurting your soul too. Negative thoughts may have an upper hand and may make you a little sad. Pray to your Ishta Devta for peace and enjoy the luxury of silence for your peace of mind.
