According to Vedic Astrology, the Lunar Eclipse on Mar. 3, 2026, occurs with the Rahu, Sun, Mars, and Mercury gathered in Aquarius, while the Moon aligns with Ketu in Leo, in the Venus-ruled Star Purva Phalguni Nakshatra. This rare celestial formation awakens the star’s inherent power to guide growth, balance, and renewal through conscious union and harmony.
Under this eclipse, the combined planetary energies support nurturing innate skills, healing relationships, and restoring emotional and physical well-being. It is a potent period for inner detachment, karmic release, and spiritual upliftment, while realigning one’s path toward purposeful growth, fulfillment, prosperity, and steady material progress.
Why This Lunar Eclipse Is Spiritually Significant
This Lunar Eclipse creates a powerful axis between the planets in Aquarius and Leo, drawing focus toward balancing collective responsibilities with personal identity and inner truth.
As the Moon, the significator of the mind and emotions, enters Ketu’s shadow, it creates an Eclipse Affliction (Grahan Dosha), which can temporarily blur emotional clarity and heighten sensitivity to inner alignment.
On the other hand, the combined effects of the Sun, Rahu, Mars, and Mercury strengthen collective awareness, shared responsibility, and focused efforts, making this eclipse a rare opportunity to realign intention with action for personal and collective progress.
To align with this powerful cosmic shift, AstroVed will conduct 15 traditional remedial rituals, as detailed in sacred texts, to reduce the challenging effects of the Eclipse and strengthen the supportive influence of the planets working together. These remedies are designed to
- Remove obstacles hindering growth, prosperity & success
- Enhance manifestation power for purposeful goals
- Restore emotional balance & mental clarity
- Overcome karmic burdens and afflictions & unresolved past influences
- Pacify ancestral souls & receive their blessings
- Protect family harmony, peace, health & unity
How This Year’s Lunar Eclipse Impacts You
Purva Phalguni Nakshatra- Venus Energy That Restores Harmony and Prosperity
Purva Phalguni represents refinement, conscious enjoyment, and right use of creative energy. Governed by Venus and presided over by Bhaga (Divine distributor of fortune and enjoyment), this star emphasizes balance between pleasure and responsibility.

This influence may surface:
- Emotional sensitivity or inner withdrawal
- Awareness of ego-driven reactions or old habits
- Emotional maturity and calm detachment
- Release of subconscious fears and past conditioning
- Strengthened intuition and spiritual focus
- Ancestral healing through Tarpanam (ritual water offerings for ancestors)

Their combined role supports:

- Rahu intensifies ambition and accelerates karmic outcomes
When guided by wisdom, these energies promote meaningful achievement and steady material advancement.
