Readings & Remedies

One remedy per Rāśi, the single most effective kriya for this eclipse period

Duration of practice. Begin each remedy from the eclipse day, 3 March 2026, and continue daily without interruption until the next Pūrṇimā on 2 April 2026. The eclipse’s karmic influence persists for one full lunar cycle; unbroken daily practice through to Pūrṇimā is what neutralises it most effectively.

Highly Challenging

Siṃha Leo

Health and confidence will drop sharply while close relationships become very difficult. This is a deep transformation period, and you will come out much more resilient.

Prescribed Remedy

Daily at sunset (6:30–7:30 PM IST), face East at your home puja altar or nearest Shiva temple: Light a pure ghee lamp, offer milk + white rice to Lord Shiva (photo or lingam), then chant "Om Chandrāya Namaḥ" 108 times slowly with closed eyes.

Highly Challenging

Kumbha Aquarius

Sense of self feels confused and unstable, and marriage or business partnerships will bring major challenges. Stay grounded in your own truth. This phase will pass and leave you clearer about what you really want.

Prescribed Remedy

Every morning just after sunrise, face East at home altar: Burn camphor or incense, offer black sesame seeds, chant "Om Rāhave Namaḥ" 108 times, then sit for 11 minutes of slow alternate-nostril breathing.

Challenging

Every sunrise, face East at home: Chant Gāyatrī Mantra 108 times, then donate one yellow item (book, cloth or fruit).

Challenging
