Found the following info on the web.hope it reaches you all before the eclipse starts.

Highlights about Eclipse

The spiritual effect of lunar and solar eclipse

In the solar system, during lunar eclipse the Chaitanya frequencies are 40% less

than usual. Hence the chaitanya in the atmosphere reduces. Chaitanya frequencies

are cool, peaceful and sattvik. Due to reduction of chaitanya frequencies in the

atmosphere the distressing energies’ influence increases. Due to which the

raja-tama in the atmosphere increases; hence it is said that ‘one should not go

out on the day of lunar eclipse’.

Similarly for the solar eclipse. During the solar eclipse the Tej frequencies

are less by 40% than usual.

The powerful the eclipse the higher the influence of distressing energies.

Information about eclipses

It has been said that as soon as an eclipse begins it is inauspicious for all

Classes of human-beings; hence all should first take a bath. The food cooked

before the eclipse becomes impure after the eclipse; hence it is not to be

consumed. The one who does not take bath at the time of eclipse, would suffer

grave illness for next 7 births and suffer lot of unhappiness. It is good if a

cold water bath is taken. It is most meritful if the bath is taken in river

Ganges, Godavari or at Prayaag. The following are usually done during an

eclipse – bath, ritualistic fire, puja and shraaddh, donations (daan), and

after the eclipse has ended taking bath again. It is a general rule that one

should not take bath, not make donations, and not do shraaddh at night, but

during an eclipse one can do so at night also.

The period of an eclipse is considered most appropriate for chanting, reciting

mantras etc. One is not supposed to consume food during the eclipse. It is also

a rule that for lunar eclipse one should not eat for 9 hours before the eclipse

and for 12 hours before Solar eclipse. However, it is not applicable to

children, ladies, and sick, aged. Due to eclipse, not only food, but everything

becomes impure. However, it is impossible to throw away household items, hence

during the eclipse Tulsi is kept on things. It is believed that by doing so the

things remain pure.

(Reference – Bhartiya Sanskruit Kosh – Volume 3)
