Astronomers and skywatchers are gearing up with anticipation to witness the rare celestial phenomenon, the solar eclipse 2024, called Surya Grahan in India, that is all set to take place on October 2. The Surya Grahan 2024 will be an annular solar eclipse and it will not be visible in India. An annular solar eclipse takes place when the moon passes between the earth and sun, but it does not completely cover the sun’s disc. This means that a ring of sunlight will be visible around the edges of the moon. In many cultures and traditions, an eclipse is considered inauspicious since it disrupts the life-giving energy of the sun. This gives rise to many superstitions and questions, including if a person should have sex or indulge in physical intimacy or not during Surya Grahan.

Sex During Surya Grahan 2024

Eclipses are considered inauspicious as they are seen as a disruption of natural order, with the sun, a symbol of life and energy, being blocked. Apart from not cooking, touching or worshipping idols of gods, eating, sleeping, urinating, or applying makeup during this time, it is also believed that one should avoid having sex, getting physically intimate with your partner or masturbating during Surya Grahan. It is believed that the time during an eclipse is filled with negative energies and it can affect the physical as well as spiritual well-being of people.

So, in many traditions and cultures, avoiding physical intimacy, having sex and masturbating during this time is considered as a way of protecting yourself from negative energies and harmful influences. In addition, it is also believed that having sex during an eclipse may result in broken relationships or could have negative consequences. Hence, many people avoid getting physically intimate during this time as a precaution. Solar Eclipse 2024 Facts: From Types of Eclipses to Cultural Myths, Ahead of ‘Ring of Fire’ Celestial Event, Know 5 Interesting Things About Surya Grahan.
