Coincidence of two eclipses in Sawan (Sawan Grahan 2026)

Dr. Anish Vyas, director of Pal Balaji Astrology Institute, Jaipur, Jodhpur and a well-known astrologer of the country, says that the last solar eclipse and lunar eclipse of the year is going to occur in the month of Sawan itself. Even though this is a normal phenomenon from astronomical point of view. But in astrology and mythological beliefs, the event of eclipse is considered to be an indicator of major changes, upheaval or crisis for the zodiac sign, world, weather and politics.

When two eclipses occur at an interval of 15 days, it is seen as an inauspicious combination. It is believed that when Rahu and Ketu afflict both the Sun and the Moon in a short time interval (15 days), the impact of negative energy can increase. According to mythological texts and beliefs, if two eclipses occur within 15 days, it can create situations like economic troubles, inflation, natural disasters or war for the people.

It is said that even before the Mahabharata war, there was a coincidence of two eclipses within 15 days. Religious activities are completely banned during the eclipse period, but this period is considered special for chanting mantras and introspection. At the same time, both the eclipses occurring in August will not be visible in India, hence it will not have much negative impact. But this could be an important transformative time for the country and the world.
