Prayer of propitiation of the activities and astrological protection
Partial Solar Eclipse | March 29, 2025, at 11:47 AM (Albagnano)
Sun and Moon in Pisces – Uttara Bhadrapada Nakshatra
Dear friends of the Albagnano Meditation Center,
On March 29, 2025, at 11:47 AM (local time), a partial solar eclipse will occur, with the Sun and Moon conjunct in Pisces, in the Uttara Bhadrapada Nakshatra. This eclipse carries deep spiritual significance, with effects that begin to manifest several days before and remain subtly active for about three months after the event.
In the Kalachakra system, eclipses are karmic turning points where subtle winds (prana) become unstable, allowing hidden patterns to surface for purification and transformation.
Spiritual and Psychological Significance
Uttara Bhadrapada is a nakshatra of stillness, depth, and spiritual maturity. Governed by Ahirbudhnya, a deity of the deep unconscious, it represents the silent integration that follows inner purification.
- During and around the eclipse, one may experience:
- Heightened emotional sensitivity and a desire for solitude
- A natural pull toward contemplation, retreat, and inner silence
- Mental fog or idealization if energy is not consciously anchored
- Opportunities for healing and profound inner realization
Recommended Practices
- Avoid major decisions or emotionally charged situations near the time of the eclipse
- Allow space for silence, meditation, and deep listening
- Recite the following mantras for clarity and protection:
- Maritse Mantra, for protection and guidance
- Black Mañjuśrī Mantra, to clear mental obscurations
- Engage in purification practices, such as light fasting, offerings, or Vajrasattva practice
- Dedicate the merit to the well-being of all sentient beings
Final Reflection
This eclipse serves as a gentle yet powerful reminder that true transformation often arises not from external action, but from inner stillness and maturation. May this be an opportunity to clear the veils of illusion, deepen our connection with the Dharma, and allow the clarity of the awakened mind to shine forth.
With gratitude and aspirations of wisdom,
Jampa Thündrub
