Is there a special effect when some one is born very close to an eclipse, (less than 24 hours before or after)?
I believe it highly depends on the eclipse (solar/lunar), full/new moon, waxing/waning, Saros cycle. I honestly don’t know much about it except that my son was born on a solar eclipse (August 2009) and, as a result, has Sun/Ketu and Moon/Rahu conjunctions. I would look into the conjunctions of Rahu and Ketu to learn more about it and draw some conclusions. That’s where I noticed the most relevant info re: my kid.
Am sure Ernst has a more general and relevant approach.
Hope this helps a bit.

Ecplise births are tough and they usually have unusual lives and often difficulties with the family. For this reason they would do some rituals when this happened.
Yes, that is in the end of Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra
