Crystal Gazing: Impact of Lunar Eclipse on Markets

Analysts cover the stock market from various perspectives: Fundamental analysis, Technical analysis and so forth. There is another school of thought which analysis the market from the angle of planetary configurations. Given below are some interesting observations on the impact of full Lunar Eclipse occuring on Thursday 21st February 2008. I do not purport to be an expert in this field, so these observations may be taken with a pinch of salt.

The full lunar eclipse of 21st February 2008, will be visible partially in India. This is occuring on a Full moon day. The next full lunar eclipse will occur only in 2010 (20.12.2010). Generally, a lunar eclipse has an impact on the human mind leading to mood swings, depression, feeling of alienation. Human beings operating in the markets are subjected to the feelings of greed and fear. The impact of a Lunar eclipse would thus result in greater volatility on the markets on 21st February 2008, and its impact would last for a couple of days. It is advisable to practice restraint in these circumstances to avoid losses on the markets. However, the impact on some individuals could be extremely positive depending upon their 'Rashi'. Please consult your astrologer before taking a decision.

Astrologer Bejan Daruwalla has predicted heavy volatility in the markets from 21st - 25th February 2008 due to the Sun-Saturn opposition. However the markets are likely to stabilise post budget. Bejan Daruwalla expects the markets to revive to a level of BSE sensex 19300 post budget. So, dear investors, patience is the key in these turbulant times.
