Eclipses
bring different meanings to different people. Tantric practitioners would
perform rituals on this day because it is very easy to attain siddhi. In
Thailand, people would pray to Rahu before solar eclipses for protection and
good luck. For astronomy fans, people would rejoice at observing these rare
astronomical occurrences. However, solar or lunar eclipses bring different
meaning to a Chinese astrologer.
In ancient
Chinese astrology, eclipses mean the mutation of the sky. Solar eclipses belong
to ‘Yang’ (阳) and solar eclipses
imply the emperor has made bad decisions; and lunar eclipses represent the
subjects.
The effect
of eclipses is most severe when the eclipses happened on meridians and the
places where eclipses occur shall be affected most. If we were to compare, the
effect of solar eclipses is much slower than the lunar eclipses. The severity
of the effect depends on the degree of the eclipses. Having said so, places
that eclipses are not visible shall not be affected by those negative effects.
For example,
the location of eclipses in certain houses means different meanings:
·
Fire
element:
o
Country
leaders will face problems, revolutions, wars, and epidemic and food shortages.
·
Earth
element:
o
Agricultural
issues, draught, earthquakes and etc.
·
Water
element:
o
Subjects
of a country will suffer especially those who stay near coastal areas,
·
Wood
element:
o
Subjects
of a country suffer famine and storm disasters.
According
to the above definitions, let us just take a solar eclipse happened this
morning, March 8, 2016 as an example. Since solar eclipses can be observed in
Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore in March, there would be some kind of food
shortage and people in these areas would suffer. There are also possibilities
that these area might besieged with strong wind or forest related issues. The
source of the disaster is due to poor leadership since it was a solar eclipse. Of
course, the duration of the disaster would depend on the duration of the
eclipse. In this case, the solar eclipse occurred for about 4 minutes. We can deduce
that the disasters would not take a very long time.
