Agni Panchak 2026
Panchak 2026 February Date:From the point of view of astrology and calendar, the year 2026 is starting with great excitement. An astronomical and astrological event is going to happen on 17 February 2026, which has increased the concern of pundits and astrologers. On this day, not only is the first solar eclipse of the year taking place, but Agni Panchak is also beginning from this day. Both these events are not considered auspicious in religion and astrology. Let us understand in detail what Agni Panchak is and why its coincidence with the solar eclipse is considered dangerous.
What is Agni Panchak?
According to astrology, when the Moon transits in Dhanishtha, Shatabhisha, Purvabhadrapada, Uttarabhadrapada and Revati Nakshatra, that time is called Panchak. Panchak lasts for five days.
Agni Panchak: When Panchak starts from Tuesday, it is called Agni Panchak.
As the name suggests, this Panchak creates fear of fire. During this period, the possibility of fire, accidents and disputes increases considerably.
Fatal combination of solar eclipse and Agni Panchak
The solar eclipse occurring on 17th February is the first eclipse of the year. During eclipse, Sun (which is the factor of energy and soul) is afflicted. On the other hand, the negative impact of Mars increases due to Agni Panchak.
Increase in accidents: There is a higher risk of accidents related to machinery, tools and fire in Agni Panchak.
Anger and controversy: At this time, anger and excitement may increase among people, which may create tension in mutual relationships or at the social level.
Natural Disasters: The coming together of eclipse and Panchak indicates natural events like earthquake or fire.
What not to do during this time?
There is a strict prohibition on doing certain activities during Panchak, and when it is Agni Panchak, the caution increases further.
Construction work: Building the roof of the house or traveling towards the south is prohibited.
Gathering grass or wood: Do not store flammable items like fuel or wood due to fear of fire.
Beginning of new work: Do not do any auspicious or auspicious work (like Mundan, housewarming or starting a business) under the shadow of eclipse and Panchak.
Measures to prevent Agni Panchak
If you want to avoid this inauspicious effect, then some easy solutions have been suggested in the scriptures.
Text of Hanuman Chalisa: To reduce the inauspicious effects of Mars, worshiping Lord Hanuman is the best.
Charity: Donate grains, sesame seeds and jaggery during the Sutak period of the solar eclipse and after the eclipse.
Keep the peace: Avoid disputes and take special care while driving.
