This is the second eclipse of 2015 exactly after 14 days of Solar Eclipse of 20th<\/sup> March 2015 we have a Total Lunar Eclipse now. This Lunar Eclipse is going to happen in \u201cVirgo\u201d in the lunar mansion (Nakshatra) of \u201cHasta\u201d. On 4th<\/sup> April 2015 Earth will come in between Moon & Sun where Rahu-Ketu aligned at 16 degrees and Sun-Moon at 21 degrees.\u00a0 This lunar eclipse is going to happen under the influence of Rahu so Moon will join Rahu in Virgo in Hasta Nakshatra whose lord is \u201cMoon\u201d only.<\/p>\n

Hasta Nakshatra \u2013 10.1 degrees Virgo to 23.20 degrees Virgo<\/strong><\/p>\n

In my previous note on Solar Eclipse I explained how to analyse an effect of Eclipse in the same way we can analyse the effect of this eclipse also, for detailed analysis one can refer my previous note.<\/p>\n

Effect:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Those who born under the Virgo Moon and Hasta nakshatra Moon will have a direct impact of this eclipse. In Virgo Moon will join Rahu and in Pisces Sun will join Ketu with Mercury so Moon (mind) and Sun (soul) both will get influenced by Rahu, Ketu& Mercry.<\/p>\n

Last Solar Eclipse in Pisces denotes dissolution and this Lunar Eclipse in Virgo means gathering all scattered pieces and joins them. See how this eclipse energy works Pisces is water and last zodiac so dissolution and Virgo is an analytical sign which puts everything together to get the result. Both eclipses show \u201cNegation of Ego\u201d and discovering \u201cTrue Self\u201d that is why eclipses make us learn ending of few unnecessary things and start of new things which are necessary in development in life.<\/p>\n

Visibility, Time & Location:<\/strong><\/p>\n

This eclipse would be visible in many parts of Asia, North America, South America, Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, Indian Ocean, Arctic and Antarctica.<\/p>\n

As we found the eclipse would be largely covering all the sea portion of our planet so let us discuss some effect on Ocean. This thing we have not discussed in last note but I feel it is also important to know some basic interesting facts of Oceanography.<\/p>\n

The gravitational forces of Sun & Moon cause the rise and fall in the sea level, but we will see how the pattern of tides works?<\/p>\n

As the Earth spins on its own axis, the water in an ocean is at the same level but Earth has gravitational pull which pulls the water inside and the Centrifugal force puts the water outside.<\/p>\n

But when the Moon\u2019s gravitational force pulls the water towards Moon then a \u201cBulge\u201d<\/strong> created and Moon is revolving around Earth and due to Earth\u2019s own rotation this \u201cBulge\u201d also moves, in this way \u201cHigh Tides\u201d<\/strong>&\u201cLow Tides\u201d<\/strong> occur.<\/p>\n

The situation gets interesting when Sun involves in this process, as Earth-Moon both revolves around Sun. When the Sun & the Moon \u2018line-up\u2019 we get larger tides known as \u201cSpring Tides\u201d<\/strong>, they occur usually at every New & Full Moon.<\/strong>When Sun-Moon at right angle we get smaller tides known as \u201cNeap Tides\u201d<\/strong>, they occur at every Quarter Moon.<\/strong><\/p>\n

During eclipses the Sun-Moon-Earth all line up very accurately than at normal Full or New Moons. Then the difference on tides is slightly different.<\/p>\n

In Lunar eclipses<\/strong> the Sun is on one side of Earth and the Moon on the other side so the tidal effect is same, though Sun has bigger gravitational pull but it is quite far from Earth so Moon\u2019s pull balances the tidal effect of Sun\u2019s pull.<\/p>\n

In Solar eclipses<\/strong> the Moon and the Sun are on the same side of the Earth so the whole gravitational pull comes on one side then we have the highest tides.<\/p>\n

Some people say during eclipses the gravitational pull of Sun and Moon effects theTectonic Plates<\/strong> which can cause higher magnitude Earthquakes. But still research is going on so no point to discuss further.<\/p>\n

Time<\/strong><\/p>\n

To find out the time of eclipse we can refer NASA\u2019s<\/strong> website.<\/p>\n

\"Lunar<\/a><\/p>\n

Here the time is given as per the Pacific Day Light (PDT).<\/p>\n

Pacific Day Light (PDT):-PDT<\/strong> is 7 hours behind Co-ordinated Universal time (UTC).<\/strong>\u00a0 PDT time zone used in North America which is also called Daylight Saving Time (DST).<\/strong><\/p>\n

Greenwich Mean time (GMT)<\/strong> and UTC<\/strong> are almost similar.<\/p>\n

Whenever we want a time for any country then we can refer that particular country\u2019s Standard Time ahead\/behind to GMT or UTC.<\/p>\n

Likewise we want to find the time for India the India Standard Time (IST)<\/strong> is 5 hours 30 minutesahead <\/strong>of UTC or GMT denoted as IST (GMT+5.5).<\/strong><\/p>\n

Time Table<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Partial Eclipse Ends<\/td>\n06:45<\/td>\n13:45<\/td>\n19:15<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

 <\/p>\n

In this way we can find out the timing of Eclipse as per any country\u2019s required time. In this note we put focus on Oceanography and Time Zones<\/strong> which is interesting in terms of Geological and Geographical perspective.<\/strong> Rather putting much stress on Prediction of Eclipse it is better to understand the concept and effect on our planet. This makes astrology even more interesting because it gives knowledge to understand other topics also.<\/p>\n
