There is no significant research scientifically that a Lunar or a Solar eclipse will effect humans on their particular Star or rashi. Its a old saying that we must keep our stomach empty 2 hours before the eclipse starts and eat cooked food after the eclipse after taking bath.
The question to millions of believers is "WILL THIS LUNAR ECLIPSE EFFECT ME". Now if the answer is YES then they search for numerous options to nullify the effect. It may be in the form of giving some donations starting from GOLD to VEGETABLES so on and so forth.
MY SIMPLE ADVICE TO YOU ALL IS " PRAY TO YOUR HOME GODS AND DO POOJA'S AT YOUR RESPECTIVE HOMES.HOME IS THE BEST TEMPLE".
