Being in Bharani Nakshatra, people engaged in immoral activities will suffer, and the price of essential items such as oil and coarse grains will increase.

A Lunar Eclipse is an astronomical event when the Moon comes in shadow just behind the Earth. The Moon experiences a Lunar Eclipse when Earth blocks the Moon from receiving sunlight, casting a shadow on its surface. This is only possible if the Sun, Earth, and Moon are in this order in a nearly straight line. Due to this geometric restraint, a Lunar Eclipse can only occur on a full Moon. The relationship between the Moon and the lunar nodes determines the type and length of a Lunar Eclipse.
According to Hindu mythology, a Lunar Eclipse and a Solar Eclipse are two such events when there is upheaval in the entire creation and universe. A lot of negative energy also gets a chance to play, and there is a magnetic base on the Earth. Heavenly events have always inspired surprise or fear among people. The Lunar Eclipse is visible to the naked eye. Although it is just a celestial event, Indians have attached many beliefs to it. Some consider it good for their business, career, or health, while others consider it inauspicious. The use of eclipse and its possibilities have been seen in many subjects of life since ancient times.
In the epic Mahabharata, Lord Krishna predicted an eclipse many times to save Arjuna's life and asked him to use it repeatedly in the war. In another legend, after receiving the Amrita (nectar of immortality) at the time of Samudra Manthan (churning of the ocean) by the Devtas (gods) and Asuras (demons), Lord Vishnu made a rule to distribute the nectar equally among the gods and demons. The Devtas and Asuras initially agreed to share the nectar equally, but when it manifested, they fought over who would get to drink it first. However, a demon named Svarbhanu was skilled at disguising himself as god and sat in the line of the Devtas, who were to consume the Amrita first. A few drops of the nectar given by Lord Vishnu reached his throat, but the Lord severed his head upon being alerted by the Moon and the Sun. However, because Svarbhanu had already consumed the nectar, he became immortal. His head and body split into two separate entities, Rahu and Ketu respectively. Since then, Rahu has considered the Sun and Moon its enemies and, on occasion, attempts to reduce their light and energy with his influence, which is seen as an eclipse.
