*********** It's possibly said to be a good time to have a yagya only because eclipses of any sort are inauspicious in Jyotish. Astrologer David Hawthorne says the following about the lunar eclipse, which may or may not be consistent with what Maharishi Jyotishis say: Planetary Transits for March 1 March 7 Sun transits Aquarius, from 16:18 to 23:19°, closely conjunct Rahu, under the aspect of Ketu until March 11. Watch for major news regarding political leaders and governments. Take care of your father and husband, and be careful with your blood pressure. Moon transits Cancer, Leo, Virgo, and into Libra. The full Moon and a Total Lunar Eclipse are in Leo, March 3. This, the first of two total lunar eclipses in 2007, is unique because it is partly visible from every continent around the world, and may be more intense than usual due to the stationary position of the Moon's nodes, Rahu and Ketu. The total eclipse begins at 22:44 UT, the greatest eclipse is at 23:20 UT, and the total eclipse ends at 23:57 UT. For local time, subtract your time zone if west (add your time zone if east) of Greenwich, England, (e.g., six hours if you are in the Central time zone). The entire event will be visible from Europe, Africa and western Asia. In eastern North and South America the Moon will be partially or totally eclipsed at moonrise. From western North America, only the final penumbral phases are visible. Notes: It is advisable to fast or eat lightly for a few hours before and after the eclipse, and to stay indoors and rest or meditate. Additionally, the two-week period between the total lunar eclipse (March 3) and the partial solar eclipse (March 19) may be a vulnerable time. Extra care, patience and caution are strongly advised.
