There are two types of eclipses:
1. Lunar eclipse
2. Solar eclipse
1. Lunar eclipse: It takes place when the Moon passes through the shadow of the Earth in the heavens. This will only occur when all the three, i.e., the Sun, the Moon and the Earth are nearly in a straight line. The Sun and the Earth are always on the ecliptic but the path of the Moon is inclined to the ecliptic at an angle of about five degrees. So, the Moon may or may not be on or very near the ecliptic when the Earth is in between the Sun and the Moon, i.e., on Poornima or the full-Moon night. Lunar eclipse does not occur on every Poornima; it occurs only when the Moon is near to Rahu or Ketu, i.e., near ecliptic. When the whole of the Moon's disc is obscured, the eclipse is said to be a total eclipse and when only a part of it is obscured, it is said to be a partial eclipse.
As seen in a horoscope, Sun and Moon during the period of the Lunar eclipse will be opposite to each other in a manner that they will be in opposite houses; i.e., at the 7th position from each other with Rahu and Ketu with either of them also existing opposite to each other similarly will be in proximity to the Sun and the Moon. Position of Rahu and Ketu will be in accordance with the ascending or the descending position. If the Moon crosses the ecliptic while going from South to the North, it is ascending node and Rahu will be placed near to the Moon and Ketu will have its position near the Sun. While, if the Moon crosses the ecliptic while going from North to the South,, in that case, it is the descending node, Ketu and the Ketu will be positioned along with the Moon and Rahu, exactly opposite to it at the 7th position with the Sun. So, the effects of the planet Moon in the horoscope of the native at that time will be eclipsed.
2. Solar eclipse: It occurs when the Moon is in between the Earth and the Sun, i.e, on Amavasya or no-Moon night. During a solar eclipse, the Moon is on or near Rahu or Ketu, so that its latitude is zero. The Moon, the Earth and the Sun all are in a straight line.
As seen in a horoscope, during the period of the Solar eclipse, the sun and the Moon will be in the same house, i.e. in close proximity to each other along with either Rahu or the Ketu, depending upon the node being crossed. If it happens in the ascending node, Rahu will be positioned along with the Sun and the Moon, while Ketu being opposite to it at 7th position. And, if the eclipse happens in the descending node, Ketu will be placed along with the Sun, the Moon and the Rahu will be located at the 7th position from it, exactly opposite. In such a position, the Sun's rays will not be able to reach the Earth and so the effects of the planet Sun in any horoscope falling during that shadow will be diminished or lessened, in accordance with the partial or total eclipse and its duration.
The effects of the eclipse will be according to the position of the planets in a particular horoscope. So, it will vary for every different horoscope. Also, the amount and duration of eclipse will decide the intensity and the duration of the effects.
