Mumbai: Astrology holds that planets, constellations and yogas (cosmic alignments) play a decisive role in human life. Among them, Grahan Yog—the eclipse combination—is considered particularly inauspicious. According to experts, when this yoga forms in a birth chart, it can obstruct progress, delay success despite hard work, and create hurdles in achieving desired goals.
The year 2025 is astrologically significant because a rare Grahan Yog is set to form just before the last lunar eclipse of the year. Astrologers warn that this period may bring challenges for some zodiac signs, particularly in areas of finance, relationships and decision-making.
How is Grahan Yog Formed?
Grahan Yog is created when the Sun and Moon are positioned with Rahu or Ketu in the same house of a horoscope. The house in which this combination occurs becomes affected, and the individual may experience unfavourable outcomes related to that sphere of life.
When Will Grahan Yog Occur in 2025?
The last lunar eclipse of 2025 will take place on 7 September (Sunday). However, astrologers state that Grahan Yog will form a day earlier, on 6 September (Saturday), in the sign of Aquarius. On this date, Rahu and the Moon will conjoin in Aquarius at 11:23 am, creating the inauspicious yoga.
Zodiac Signs at Risk
Gemini (Mithun) – Natives may face financial challenges or monetary shortages due to the Rahu-Moon conjunction.
Virgo (Kanya) – Potential crises may affect relationships and spending. Experts advise restraint in expenses and seeking elders’ guidance before finalising major deals.
Sagittarius (Dhanu) – Difficulties may arise, particularly in matters involving contracts or disputes. Avoid signing new agreements or engaging in conflicts during this period.
