How does Eclipse or Grahan affect our Vedic astrology
Our Vedic ancient science has very deep knowledge about the impact of different astronomy phenomena in our solar systems. Eclipse is one of the common astronomy phenomena in our Solar systems. Our ancient sage had done great research about the impact of the eclipse on humans and our all atmosphere. So, the eclipse has a huge impact on both natal astrology (personal horoscope) and mundane astrology (universal impact of astronomy).
Astrological meaning of Eclipse or Grahan in astrology
Grahan or eclipse is basically related to the shadow cast of the Moon or earth upon each other. All those shadows cast formed due to the light of the Sun. This shadow casting is only possible when Sun, Moon and earth are placed in a straight line. In Astrology this Shadow area is represented as Rahu (north node) & Ketu (south node). You can say both Rahu & Ketu are astronomy calculative areas.
Solar Eclipse is possible when the Moon’s shadow casting on Earth. Solar Eclipse is only possible on the day of the dark Moon (Amavasya). In astrology, on the day of Amavasya, both Sun & Moon has the same degree in the same sign. So, a Solar eclipse is possible when Sun, Moon and Rahu/Ketu are placed in the same sign and approximate the same degree.
Lunar eclipse is possible when Earth’s shadow casting on Moon. Lunar eclipse is possible on the day of the full moon (Purnima). In astrology on the day of the full moon, Sun and Moon are placed in opposite signs with the same degree. So, a Lunar eclipse is possible when Sun and Moon are opposite to each other and Rahu & Ketu axis join both Sun and Moon.
Hope you understand the astrological meaning of Solar or Lunar eclipse.
Impact of Grahan or Eclipse on astrology
Eclipse has a huge impact on our energy level. Shadow is basically related to dark energy. So, any planet that crosses this shadow area will be getting influenced by negative energy. As we represent those shadow areas by planet Rahu & Ketu in astrology. That’s why we frequently say that any planet associated with Rahu & Ketu will cause suffering in our lives due to carrying forwards our past life sins.
Role of Star or Nakshatra where Eclipse or Grahan happened
The star where the Solar or lunar eclipse will happen will fully charge with negative energy.
- So, we should avoid that star or nakshatra for a maximum of 6 months. Because negative energy on those stars will be nullified in 6 months.
- This means the days when the Moon transit to that particular star will avoid 6 months for any sort of auspicious acts.
- Even any planet transit to that star will give negative results during those 6 months.
- If you have any planet in that star in the natal chart then you can face losses significant for that planet.
Impact of Grahan as per your horoscope
Apart from the star, we have also the impact of Grahan as per our horoscope. We will frequently be facing issues related to that bhava where Eclipse is forming. For example, if grahan will happen in 1st house then we can face issues related to 1st houses significant such as health issues or huge mental stress. In the same way, we have predicted results of Eclipse or Grahan based on the Moon sign of native.

Such people may have a lot of financial instability in their life. Such natives may have some sort of supernatural power (depends on the chart).
Role of Visible or invisible eclipse
As per classical books of astrology, the Impact of Visible eclipse is only considered during any sort of prediction. Because in the case of the invisible eclipse we are just behind the eclipse zone. So, don’t panic about the invisible eclipse. But in mundane astrology invisible eclipse will also be able to impact the atmosphere of earth or other matters.
Grahan dosha is based on the conjunction of Rahu & Ketu
Apart from eclipse, in Vedic astrology, we also consider the conjunction of shadow planet ( Rahu & Ketu) with luminance planet ( Sun & Moon) as Grahan dosha. So, a possible combination will be
- Sun conjunct with either Rahu & Ketu.
- Moon conjunct with either Rahu & Ketu
- If Grahan dosha happened in the 1st, 5th & 9th house then known as Pitru dosha.
- If Grahan dosha happened in the 4th house then known as Matri dosha.
Remedy for Grahan dosha
- We should donate wheat or Rice after the eclipse to Shudra (swiper class) people.
- If any person is born on the day of the eclipse, then do nakshatra Shanti of Sun, Moon, Rahu/Ketu.
- When the chart is only Grahan dosha without eclipse then the native has to Sarpa Shanti.
- Doing Gayatri Mantra Jaap per day will reduce the effect of Grahan dosha.
- In the case of the Lunar eclipse, the Jaap of Om Namah Shivaya will reduce the negative effect of Chandra graham.
- Hare Krishna mantra Jaap then Vishnusahashtra naam will reduce the effect of the Solar eclipse.
- In the case of Pitru Dosha, doing proper Tarpan puja will reduce negative effects.
