Lunar eclipse: mysticism or the law of nature?

Since ancient times, it was believed that the eclipses of the Sun and the Moon are signs from above, which foreshadow all sorts of troubles. Court astrologers of those times were obliged to predict the eclipses in advance and interpret them so that it was possible to know in advance what is expected in terms of the state security of the country, its economy, and also, in the life of the ruler. It is clear that giving negative interpretations, astrologers exposed their lives to mortal danger, therefore, in order to secure themselves, they gave so vague predictions that they could be interpreted in different ways: from the country's fabulous prosperity to mass epidemics. But if they correctly predicted a solar or lunar eclipse, all of their vague prophecies would get away with them.

Now we know that eclipses are regular and recurring phenomena that are easily calculated by astronomers and do not carry any obvious threat, although they affect a person and many natural phenomena.

A lunar eclipse is a phenomenon when the Moon enters the shadow created by the Earth relative to the Sun. It occurs only at full moon. Solar and lunar Eclipses Occur, as is known, in pairs - with a difference of only 2 weeks.

It has long been noted that weeks before two before the eclipse and as many after, many people exacerbate chronic illnesses, worsens well-being (especially in the older generation). The thing is a huge load experienced by the cardiovascular system during any eclipses, so the number of strokes, heart attacks, hypertensive crises increases. In the days of eclipses, thinking activity may be disturbed in some way, so it is undesirable at this time to make any important decisions, since it is likely to make a mistake by incorrectly assessing reality.

Lunar eclipse affects the psyche of people. On such days, the number of mental disorders, suicide attempts increases, many have a feeling of vague anxiety, unmotivated anxiety, even panic. Intuition during the lunar eclipse does not work - it seems to be blocked.

Nature also has a tendency to react to eclipses. A week before and a week after, earthquakes may occur, and the activity of the World Ocean intensifies - most of all storms and tsunamis occur. In regions where the solar eclipse is observed, its negative impact is not only noted by natural disasters: there is often an aggravation of extremist tendencies, economic collapse, serious air crashes and car accidents, and collapse of the national currency.

Any eclipse, whether solar or lunar, represents a total or partial obscuration of one celestial body by another (or its shadow). Lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon is immersed in the cone of the shadow from the Earth (the Earth at this moment is on the same line connecting the Moon and the Sun). Depending on how much of the earth's shadow passes the moon, distinguish a total lunar eclipse, partial and semi-shadow. With a total eclipse, the Moon plunges completely into the shadow of the Earth. The lunar disc, while remaining visible, acquires a dark red color due to the impact of refracted sunlight on the moon's surface. Usually, during one year two solar eclipses and two lunar eclipses are observed. The maximum number of eclipses per year is seven.

The lunar eclipse period is favorable for getting rid of diseases, bad habits (alcohol, smoking, etc.), weaknesses and complexes.

In general, eclipses are a mystical phenomenon of nature. Various legends, legends and hypotheses of scientists only confirm this. But it is not necessary to neglect certain recommendations on behavior in such days, namely: it is not advisable to start new business and take actions that can significantly affect the fate. You should be careful with health - moral and physical.
