Solar Eclipse And Pregnancy: The Astrological View

Our older generations always tell us that solar eclipses and pregnancy are not a good combination. Let’s find the astrological view of a solar eclipse and pregnancy!

• Solar Eclipse End Time: September 22, 03:24 AM (IST)

Understanding Solar Eclipse

A Solar Eclipse is a phenomenon when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun. It blocks the sun’s rays on Earth, casting a black shadow in a particular place(s).

This period is considered inauspicious because the positive rays of the sun are blocked. Thus, in astrology, a solar eclipse and pregnancy are not a good combination and pregnant women are advised to observe caution during this time. 

What Is ‘SUTAK’? 

This is the period considered inauspicious in the Hindu tradition, which starts 12 hours before the solar eclipse and 5 hours before the lunar eclipse.

It is also suggested that during the Sutak time period, it is important to stay indoors and avoid making any new decisions or starting new work to avoid the negative energy.

Solar Eclipse And Pregnancy: Is It Really Unlucky?

According to the beliefs, it is said to be a bad time period for pregnant women. However, many people are unaware that the solar eclipse has a positive impact.

The beginning of a baby’s life and a new phase in life offer numerous opportunities. The eclipse is a period of spiritual growth, also recognised as a significant time.

Pregnant Women should use the eclipse time to dive into spirituality and to take care of themselves. They can stay indoors for their safety, but this does not relate to the unlucky factor of the solar eclipse.
