In Hindu tradition, solar eclipses occur during the Amavasya tithi, while lunar eclipses coincide with the full moon tithi. The upcoming solar eclipse on October 2 marks the second eclipse of the year. As per the Telugu Panchangam, this eclipse aligns with the final day of Amavasya Pitrupaksha in the month of Bhadraprada. It is believed that during this time, ancestors who have visited the earth will bid their farewell. Although the solar eclipse will not be visible in India, its repercussions are expected to resonate globally and impact human life.

Astrologers caution individuals, especially those of the Virgo and Pisces zodiac signs, to remain vigilant during this period. The transit of Rahu in Pisces further amplifies the effects of the eclipse, emphasizing the need for heightened awareness among Virgo and Pisces natives.

In Hindu customs, eclipses are considered inauspicious times, with solar eclipses specifically deemed unfavorable. It is advisable to refrain from conducting pujas or auspicious activities during a solar eclipse. The upcoming solar eclipse on October 2 will not be visible in India, thereby negating the Suta period. The Suta period, starting 12 hours before a solar eclipse, is deemed inauspicious due to the prevalent negative energy during the eclipse. Consequently, elders advise against eating or drinking during this time.

For those curious about the visibility of the solar eclipse, NASA’s website confirms that the second eclipse of the year will manifest as an annular solar eclipse visible in South America. Portions of South America, Antarctica, the Pacific Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean, and North America will experience a partial eclipse, known as the Ring of Fire, where a distinct red ring encircles the sun.
