Lunar Eclipse August 2026: Rahu Bites the Moon

The serpent's head takes the Moon. In the early morning of 28 August 2026, and through the night of the 27th for the Americas, a partial lunar eclipse reaches its maximum in Shatabhisha, the star of the 100 healers. Rahu bites, and does not finish the meal. This closes the corridor that opened on August 12, when the tail took the Sun in the serpent's own star, with Naga Panchami standing at its center. Now the head waits at the exit, and this is his last meal in Aquarius. Once he moves on this winter, he will not stand in his own sign again for roughly 18 years. I pulled the chart of the exact minute from Paris, New York, San Francisco and Delhi, and the same sky reads like 4 verses of one poem. I will show you who takes this eclipse personally, 4 doors you can check in your own chart in 2 minutes, what the tradition asks of these hours, and the medicine it prescribes for precisely this configuration, not eclipse medicine in general. And I will show you what India celebrates that very morning, under the one sky the bite cannot reach. Maximum 6h12 in Paris, moonset 7h09. New York sees the whole event through the night of the 27th, maximum at 0h12. In San Francisco the Moon rises at 19h38 with the eclipse already beginning. India sees nothing of this one, and that is part of the story. Your own city: timeanddate.com.
