Eclipse Charts 1750-2200 (BK-33)

In the long history of astronomy eclipses are perhaps the preeminent celestial phenomena, visually striking in their effect and witnessed by all humanity. It is no wonder that astrology, the cultural form of astronomy, has built up a long history on the lore of the eclipse and what they mean for nations and in the natal charts of individuals. This book is intended to make information on recent eclipses, at least from 1750 A.D. onward available and to provide a list of predicted eclipses for a couple of centuries into the future.

In the teachings of Tibetan Buddhism, it is pointed out that eclipses are very potent times. Of course, the full and new moons have always been considered important, and the eclipses are said to be even more so. In the Kalachakra (wheel of time) teachings, everything that takes place externally in our life happens because of subtle changes deep within us. In this tradition the eclipse is the paradigm of this essential change. It is written that during an eclipse, the two channels (left and right side of the central spinal channel) come into contact or merge with the central channel, this produces a greatly increased vision or experience, a vision available to those who can manage to be aware of it.
