Solar Eclipse occurs when Moon comes in between Sun and Earth thereby covering the Sun’s sight to some extent. The shadow of Moon falls on Earth creating some darkness for a while. Astrologically this happens when Sun and Rahu come together or have same longitude. For any eclipse to happen - Solar or Lunar, the nodes of Moon – Rahu and Ketu should be aligned with Sun for Solar Eclipse or Moon for lunar eclipse.
First and foremost no planet is absolutely benefic or absolutely malefic. A planet might be a natural benefic but then it might be functional malefic. A planet might be natural and functional benefic but placed in a bad house (trik house) resulting in some bad events during its dasha – antardasha. Hence if we really want to study astrology and understand the mysteries surrounding the planets, we must come out of this notion that any planet is completely benefic or malefic. We, our conscious, must be neutral to a planet if we really want to understand its behavior.
