Lunar Eclipse Explained: Total, Partial, Penumbral - What to Do & Avoid

• A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth, Sun, and Moon align, with Earth blocking sunlight from reaching the Moon.
• Total lunar eclipses (Blood Moon) happen when the Moon enters Earth's full shadow (umbra), appearing red due to filtered sunlight.
• Partial eclipses occur when only part of the Moon enters Earth's shadow, while penumbral eclipses involve the fainter outer shadow, causing a subtle dimming.
• Astrologically, eclipses are seen as times of energy transformation, self-reflection, and are linked to emotions and destiny.
• Traditions suggest worship, meditation, and positive thoughts during an eclipse, with specific precautions advised for pregnant women.
