Lunar Eclipse 2021: Zodiac signs that need to watch out

A lunar eclipse will occur in the Taurus sign on November 19, the day of Kartik Purnima. Moon will be in Krittika nakshatra, which is ruled by Sun, on the day of the eclipse. In astrology, a lunar eclipse occurs on a full moon when the two mysterious planets Rahu and Ketu encircle both the Sun and the Moon.

The Sun and Moon are the essence of our life on Earth, according to Vedic astrology. While the Sun represents our soul, the force that gives us a deep sense of purpose in this life, the Moon reflects our emotions and out conscious mind while giving us the power to make sense of our life experiences and plan and prepare for the future. Rahu and Ketu are lunar nodes in astrology, formed when the Moon’s path crosses that of the Sun in the zodiac.

Rahu and Ketu both represent our karmic ties to previous lives. Rahu rules over our deep-seated emotions and insecurities, obsessions, confusions, fears, traumas, and depression, and colours our psychological makeup by past tendencies, while the planet Ketu, on the other hand, is associated with spiritual transformation. It is void of desire and makes us cold by isolating us from all emotions, leading to enlightenment.

Eclipses are known for bringing new beginnings and possibilities into our lives, as well as for causing unexpected breakdowns and breakthroughs. They  appear in a pair of zodiac signs for about 18 to 24 months until they have completed their cycle, according to astrology. Eclipses return to the same degree and sign in about 19 years after a cycle ends, creating new patterns and themes in our lives.

The lunar eclipse of November 19 will have the greatest impact on Taurus and Scorpio signs, as the Moon will be in Taurus with Rahu on the day of the eclipse, and the Sun will be in Scorpio with Ketu. Taurus is ruled by Venus and is a fixed earthy sign, whereas Scorpio is ruled by Mars and is a watery sign. When it comes to love, money, and self-worth, the eclipse will encourage these zodiac signs to connect with their bodies and seek security. They’ll have to prepare for unexpected events and abrupt shifts that may take them out of their comfort zones at the same time. 

People born under the sign of Leo will also experience a draining of emotional energy on the day of the eclipse because the Moon will be in the nakshatra of the Sun.

There may be some unexpected developments at work and at home, and it is best not to rush any professional or personal decisions.
