Solar Eclipse
The solar eclipse or surya grahan which will take place on June 21 will be the first solar eclipse of 2020. What’s interesting is that June 21 will also mark the longest day and shortest night of the year. the solar eclipse will start at 9.15 in the morning and end at around 3.04 in the afternoon in India. During the eclipse, the sun will look like a ring of fire in the sky.
The moon disappears in the sky during Amavasya and a solar eclipse always happens during Amavasya while a Lunar eclipse always happens during Purnima. This solar eclipse happens with the conjunction of Rahu which indicates the journey from the outer to the inner realm for the benefit of the outer realm. The energies during the eclipse are very strong, so feel positive and grateful for everything you have and stop your complaining mind with Japa, meditation, and spiritual sadhana. If you are looking for prosperity in your life, then the eclipse is the perfect time to align with prosperity instead of focusing our attention on what we do not have.
