Be it Lunar or Solar Eclipse.
I've also been told to avoid consuming water, food and alcohol during the eclipse, and to stay indoor while it happens, for the "energies" released during the eclipse is very harmful and negative to me.
Therefore eating during eclipse is as good as poisoning myself, (So i gather?) and the spread of viruses.
Which is why i'm starving as I blog.
Boo.
My second eclipse (not literally), that i'm observing the starving/ no water/ stay indoor.
I had a really bad solar eclipse experience late last year..
Had alot of yelling to do over the phone while i'm out in the mall + grumpy from the lack of the food.
The public display of temper was just beyond awesome.
So I'm not taking any chances with this lunar eclipse.
Camped at home early, kept myself off supper... *stomach growling*
Been googling abit for answers and I'm not interested in the scientific versions... just the alternate ones that no one can provide me with answers.
Well, based on my findings,the easiest perspective to digest would be from
Feng Shui master : Joey Yap's version ... I've bold the important bits for easy speed reading.
According to him on fengshuilogy
Most forms of Astrology, place a great deal of emphasis on the Sun and the Moon.
In Chinese Astrology, the Sun is Yang and the Moon is Yin and they are regarded as the only two stars in the constellation that can emit light.
Thus, when an eclipse of the Sun or Moon takes place, all Yang or all Yin is blocked out momentarily during that point in time.
In Chinese Astrology, a sun eclipse is regarded as being worse than a moon eclipse - this is because Yang energy is required by all living beings and when a Sun eclipse occurs,
Yang energy to Earth is momentarily interrupted. It also falls in-line with astrological findings that the Moon doesn’t actually emit its own light, but merely reflects the light of the Sun.
Per Chinese Astrology, it is strongly advisable to avoid going outdoors during a Sun Eclipse or to observe the phenomenon at all. Being outdoors during a Sun Eclipse is a one-way ticket to bad luck within 3 months. The ancient Chinese Astrologers specifically advised against any direct look at the eclipse.

I guess this is where we get explainations for the "suay" ness that we get.. Lol.
Exposure to the effect of a Sun Eclipse, can be part of the reason why two people with the same BaZi charts, encounter different paths at a certain point in time. This is because Person A and Person B are influenced by different Heavenly Stars or Tian Xing at that point in time, based on their geographical location.
Since my source came from indian astrology, (after much comparison, I realized that chinese and indian folklore and religions has so much in common, only that the Indians are very much more elaborate when it comes to rites and beliefs!)
so based on the more elaborate and spiritual theory:
The air during the eclipse is impure - which is why people are highly encouraged to stay at indoors during the time to reduce the breathing / absorption of the bad energies.
At a superstitious level, eclipse is when the dark magic exploits the opportunity to harness the negative energies do their evil deeds,
as how i would analogize it - it's like exploiting the security lapse during an electricity blackout, where the "up-to-no-good" would exploit the security lapse and do what they usually can't do~ which is bad for good people like us!
The site is too lengthy to be posted here - you can read up if you're really that interested.
It's called a spiritual perspective.
It's like one of the rare sites that explains why I should starve myself, instead of munching on my big serving of Kokocruch and milk as like how I'll usually do.
I even left Zouk early!
Rwar!
Apparently the site recommends a couple of DONTS
- Avoid Eating: The increase in the subtle basic Raja-Tama in the atmosphere during the period of an eclipse affects food as well as the digestive processes. Hence it is advisable to avoid meals during the period of the eclipse. The time period when we should avoid meals depends on the type of eclipse. This is because the amount of sunlight or moonlight reaching Earth depends on the percentage area of the Sun or Moon covered during the eclipse.
Feeling giddy from the
lack of sustenance from my beloved Kokocrunch - where the milk swirling in it will have a GREAT CHOCOLATEY Taste AND the negative energies of the eclipse.
Need to sleep.
KthxBye!
