I review the effects of this upcoming lunar eclipse happening in the sidereal sign of Pisces in the cosmic Nakshatra of Purvabhadrapada. This is a highly emotional eclipse bringing to the forefront the need to transcend our mundane reality. The symbolism of this Nakshtra is a man with two faces, indicating an opportunity to take our spiritual journey to the next level or fall back into old coping mechanisms of escape through unhealthy habits or addictions.

A few mantras are strongly recommended to help in protecting our minds and perceptions during this time. As always it is best to not view the eclipse and use this time to go inward. Practicing these mantras along with introspection, meditation or any spiritual sadhana will help to bring greater healing and understanding to our personal issues and how best to overcome them.

The two weeks after this lunar eclipse leading up to the solar eclipse is known as “Pitru Paksha”, which in the Vedic system is the most important time to venerate our ancestral lineage and help free ourselves from any generational trauma we may be carrying. Below I share a few powerful mantras which can be used starting now until the end of this eclipse window. I have also linked my previous video in which I speak in greater depth on the qualities of Purvabhadrapada Nakshtra. Wishing everyone a very peaceful and balanced eclipse season!

Mantras:
Vishnu Mantra for support and sustenance of the mind: Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya
Shiva Mantra for protection of the mind: Om Nama Shivaya
Mrityunjaya Mantra for letting go of bad habits that bind us: Om Tryambikam Yajamahe, Sugandhim Pushti Vardanam, Urva Rukamiva Bandhanan, Mrityor Mokshiya Mamritat
Mantra to venerate ancestors: Om Pitru Devataya Namaha
