Eclipses in Traditional Context
In Jyotish, eclipses are commonly called Grahan. Traditional explanations connect them with Rahu and Ketu, the lunar nodes. These are cultural and astrological interpretations of an astronomical event.
A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun; a lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes through Earth's shadow. Their visibility and appearance depend on the event and the observer's location.
Astrological traditions assign symbolic meanings to eclipses, but those interpretations do not establish personal outcomes or replace evidence-based guidance.
The table above uses NASA's event dates and types in Universal Time. This page does not calculate eclipse visibility for every location or provide an individual's chart-based interpretation.
About astrological interpretations
This calendar lists astronomical eclipse dates and types. It does not rate effects by zodiac sign or predict personal events. Traditional interpretations vary, and should be treated as cultural or spiritual reflection rather than evidence-based forecasts or advice.

Astronomical eclipse events have defined start and end times. Claims that an eclipse creates a personal influence lasting six months are astrological interpretations, not established scientific effects.
