Lunar eclipse: mysticism or the law of nature?

Since ancient times it was believed that eclipsesThe sun and the moon are signs from above, which foreshadow all sorts of troubles. The court astrologers of those times were obliged to predict eclipses in advance and interpret them so that it was possible to know in advance what is new 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 protect themselves, they gave so vague predictions that they could be interpreted in different ways: from the fabulous prosperity of the country 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 natural andperiodically recurring phenomena that are easily calculated by astronomers and do not carry any obvious threat, although they affect the 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 when the full moon. Solar and lunar eclipses occur, as you know, in pairs - with a difference of only 2 weeks.

It has long been noted that weeks before two before the eclipse andas many - after, many people exacerbate chronic diseases, 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, mental 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 misjudging 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 observed by natural disasters: there is often an aggravation of extremist tendencies, economic collapse, serious air crashes and car accidents, collapse of the national currency.

Any eclipse, whether solar or lunar,represents a complete or partial obscuring 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 what part of the earth's shadow the Moon passes, 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 sun rays 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 in these days to ignore some of the recommendations for behavior, namely: is not advisable to start a new business and do things that can significantly affect the fate. You should be careful with health - moral and physical.
