At the age of 14, I became homeless. I lost my parents — no father, no mother. Then again, when I was in my mid-30s, I lost everything that I had earned. Again there was a midlife crisis, you can say.

So many, many difficult times I went through.
And that is why this song — meaning one who remains connected to God, then no matter how big the storm is, he will always be all right.

And the reason I’m sharing this with you all is because of 2026.
If I have to mention it in just a few words, then I would say — every ending is a new beginning.

So 2026 is a year that again gives you a new opportunity to restart.
So no matter if this year you have lost everything, next year — in 2026 — you will definitely gain what you have lost.

But always remember — stay connected to God.
There is nothing that is permanent except for God and God’s love. That is the ultimate truth.
Hate can take you nowhere, but love can take you everywhere.

Numerology of 2026

2026 comes to number one. The compound number is 10, but if you bring it down to a single digit, then 10 becomes 1 — and that is the number of the Sun.

So, if you are ruled by the Sun — if the Sun is powerful in your birth chart, if you are born with Leo Moon sign or Leo Ascendant or Leo Sun sign — then definitely, this year 2026 is going to be a very significant year in your life.

Also, if you are born on 1st, 10th, 19th, or 28th, then number one becomes your primary number. So for you also, the year 2026 is a very, very significant turning point.

It is very necessary to stay positive and not to fear — because no matter what happens, God is always with you.

There are certain years in human history when the wheel of destiny begins to move again — when what was stuck suddenly shifts and what seemed lost begins to return.
The year 2026 is one such year.

It carries the numerological vibration of 10, just like 2017 and 2008 — two years that changed the course of many lives.
2 + 0 + 2 + 6 = 10.

And in Tarot, the 10th card is known as the Wheel of Fortune.
But the number 10 is not merely about luck — it is about movement, karma, and divine timing.
It symbolizes the eternal dance between creation and correction, light and shadow, action and result.

Standing at the center of this cosmic moment is Lord Kalabhairava, the fierce yet compassionate guardian of time — the eternal aspect of Lord Shiva himself.
Kalabhairava is not just a deity; he is Time personified — the energy that governs all beginnings and endings.

He is the divine force that balances Shiva’s stillness with the Sun’s vitality and Saturn’s discipline with cosmic justice.

In his aspect as Swarn Akarshan Bhairava, he shines like the golden Sun — powerful, radiant, representing creation, prosperity, and authority.
This connects him directly with number one, the vibration of the soul, leadership, and divine illumination.

Yet, Bhairava also walks beside Saturn — the ruler of karma, the circle, the void, the infinite cycle of life and death.
And that is why the number 10 — representing the Sun united with Time — is truly the number of Kalabhairava.

The Cosmic Wheel of Justice

When the wheel turns under his gaze, no injustice remains hidden.
No karma goes unpaid.
No truth can stay buried.

Hence, 2026 is a Bhairava year — a year when truth, time, and destiny align.

In the professional sphere, this year brings karmic shifts and breakthroughs.
If your past efforts have been sincere, Kalabhairava’s blessings will raise you higher.
New roles, leadership opportunities, and long-awaited recognition may arrive unexpectedly.

But for those driven by ego or shortcuts, Kalabhairava’s time wheel will correct the imbalance swiftly.

Remember — Kalabhairava rewards sincerity, not strategy.
He honors devotion, not deception.

Work and Karma in 2026

So, in 2026, work with seva bhava — the spirit of selfless service.
Let your career become an offering to the Divine, because when you work with integrity, time becomes your ally.

Kalabhairava governs not only cosmic time but also your biological clock — the rhythm of your body and mind.

In 2026, you must respect this rhythm.
Wake with the Sun, rest in time, and eat with mindfulness.

Avoid excess — whether of food, emotion, or ambition.
Those who live in awareness will feel a surge of vitality, strength, and renewed focus.
But those who resist discipline or live chaotically may face exhaustion, anxiety, or health issues related to imbalance and heat.

Kalabhairava teaches through contrast.
He shows you darkness so that you may seek light.

Mantra for health in 2026:
Balance the light within before you chase the light outside.

Relationships and Emotional Growth

The wheel of fortune turns in relationships too.
Some bonds may complete their cycle, while others begin anew.

You may experience the end of a relationship only to meet a soul more aligned with your destiny.
Or perhaps you may resolve old misunderstandings and start afresh with the same partner — this time with love born out of awareness, not attachment.

Kalabhairava’s presence ensures that truth surfaces.
He does not allow illusions to linger in love.

So if someone leaves your life in 2026, bless them and let them go.
If someone stays, honor the connection with gratitude.

Every relationship you hold this year will teach you one essential truth:
Love is not about possession — love is about liberation.

Spiritual Message for 2026

Realize the power of surrender.
The number 10 symbolizes the merging of the individual (1) with the infinite (0).
It represents the ego surrendering to the Divine, and that is the spiritual essence of 2026.

This year, meditate more, pray more, and most importantly — trust the timing of your life.
Even when you don’t understand it, remember: you cannot outrun time. You can only align with it.

Alignment comes through awareness, simplicity, and surrender.
When you stop resisting the flow of life, the wheel turns gracefully in your favor.
When you let go of fear and control, Bhairava’s energy guides you to your next chapter with divine precision.

Mantra and Rituals for 2026

And so, the mantra for the year 2026 is:

“Om Kaal Bhairavaya Namah”

Chant this mantra 108 times every morning and evening.
It will align you with cosmic order, dissolve karmic blocks, and awaken divine protection.

In addition to reciting this mantra, every Sunday visit a Lord Kalabhairava temple.
If possible, offer buri, a coconut, and five lemons, and light a lamp of cow’s ghee before his idol.

If you live outside India, you can perform the same ritual at home.
Keep a Lord Kala’s photo or yantra, make your offerings, and light the lamp with devotion.

When the lamp burns before him, know that you are not lighting a mere diya — you are lighting your destiny.

The Sage and the Wheel

Once it happened that a young seeker asked an old sage,
“Where does God live?”

The sage smiled and led him up a mountain.
Then, carved into stone, stood an ancient wheel turning slowly in the wind.

The sage said, “This is the temple of Kalabhairava. He lives in time.”

The seeker frowned — “In time?”

And the sage said,
“Yes. Every moment you waste in worry, you lose him. Every moment you live in awareness, you meet him. He punishes those who misuse time but blesses those who honor it.”

The seeker fell silent.
From that day on, every sunrise became sacred to him, every breath a prayer to him.
And that is how he met Kalabhairava — not in a temple, but in the rhythm of his own life.

And so, the year 2026 marks not just a new beginning — it marks a new turn of the divine wheel.

But remember, my fellows — every new beginning quietly rises from the ashes of an ending.
The seed blooms only when the old leaf falls.
The dawn arrives only after the night dissolves.

You may see certain chapters closing in your life and new ones opening before you.

You may end a relationship only to meet someone new — someone meant for your evolution.
Or you may end misunderstandings with your partner and begin again, this time with awareness, forgiveness, and truth.

You may lose a job you once clung to, only to discover an opportunity that was waiting for your courage.
You may complete one karmic marriage only to find another that brings peace and purpose.
You may overcome illness and emerge renewed — reborn through transformation.

Because that is how Kalabhairava works.
Through endings, he brings light.
Through pain, he reveals purpose.
Through loss, he grants liberation.

So, as you step into 2026, open your heart to both endings and new beginnings.
Let go with grace.
Receive with gratitude.

And remember — life is a wheel, a samsara, ever revolving, ever renewing.
Every cycle must complete before the next one begins.

If you can flow with this rhythm, you will not just survive the change — you will dance with it.

For destiny itself is moving, and Lord Kalabhairav walks beside you — turning the wheel of your life, one divine revolution at a time.

Jai Shree Ganesha. Jai Guru.

Namaste
As this Navratra is going on, I want to share good news that very soon—very, very soon—that is from 18th October, many of you are going to experience much happiness, relief, and success in your life because from 18th October, Jupiter is arriving in the sign of Cancer.

This transit of Jupiter in Cancer is beneficial for Nine lucky signs. Whether this is your ascendant sign or your moon sign, it is going to give you the benefit that you are seeking.

As I mentioned earlier, whether this is your moon sign or ascendant sign — for example, if your ascendant is Cancer or if your moon sign is Cancer — either way, if Cancer is falling in this list of nine fortunate signs, then you are going to benefit.

A Message of Hope and Light

I know many of you have been suffering — financial difficulties, job loss, health problems. There are so many things you have been going through. That is why Buddha says, “Life is suffering.”

But now, as Jupiter comes into Cancer, you can expect some relief and a smile on your beautiful face. And you know, I’m very happy to see you smile, because when you smile, you look beautiful.

The Message from the Heart

To all my dear ones and close followers — today’s message is very close to my heart, because it is not just about astrology. It is about hope, it is about light, and it is about that golden turn in life which many of you have been waiting for.

I know in the last six months countless souls among you have faced struggles — financial difficulties, relationship issues, career obstacles, health problems, and domestic disharmony. Many of you have written to me saying, “Acharya Ji, when will this phase end? When will light return in our life?”

And today, I bring you that good news. The universe has heard you. The divine Guru of the cosmos, Jupiter — the planet of wisdom, abundance, and blessings — is about to enter Cancer, his sign of exaltation.

When Jupiter shines in Cancer, he’s like a teacher standing at his highest pedestal, radiating supreme qualities of faith, joy, prosperity, and truth.

But my dear ones, this entry is not permanent — it is a divine glimpse, a trailer, a blessing to remind you that life never abandons you.

From 18th October to 5th December, for 49 sacred days, Jupiter’s exalted radiance will touch our lives. During this golden period, many of you will see hurdles dissolve, new beginnings take shape, and that long-lost smile return to your face.

Remember — Jupiter’s grace flows to those who are good-hearted, compassionate in their words and actions.
If you are one of them, this golden window of 49 days is your time to rise.

The Remaining Signs

Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Capricorn, and Pisces — these are the Nine fortunate signs who will feel the maximum blessings of Jupiter’s exaltation in Cancer during these 49 golden days.

Even if your sign is not among them — Aquarius, Sagittarius, and Leo — remember, Jupiter is the Guru of the cosmos. His blessings touch every soul. If you live with kindness, truth, and humility, Jupiter himself will walk with you.

Always remember:
When you chant with faith, give with love, and act with compassion, even the toughest karmas dissolve into golden grace.

A disciple once asked his master, “When will I find light? When will joy come into my life?”
The master smiled and said, “The light is already here. It is just that your eyes are closed. Open your eyes, and you will see that the morning has already arrived.”

This is the essence of Jupiter’s golden period — the 49 days from October 18th to December 5th.
These days are not just about planetary movements; they are about your willingness to open your eyes, to see the light, and to welcome the smile of destiny into your heart.

As the great spiritual master Neem Karoli Baba said:

“Once I catch hold of you, I never leave you. You may leave me, but I will never leave you.”

So walk with faith, chant with love, and remember — the Divine never forgets you.
The journey is not toward God. The journey is with God.

Jai Shri Ganesha. Jai Guru.

Namaste.

Pitru Paksha has begun. It is important to note that these 15 days of Pitru Paksha are very, very auspicious. I have personally seen that many people who are waiting for some opportunities. All those came during this magical period of 15 days, Pitru Paksha. So I appeal to you that come out of that old school thought that Pitru Paksha is a bad period or inauspicious period. You can definitely buy new clothes, you can definitely sign important documents, and you can do all those things that usually you do or you want to do, such as booking a new car or booking a new home. These 15 days are the days when your ancestors come and they are your ancestors, your forefathers. So how can this period be inauspicious? How can you say that this period is bad? It is not bad. It is your mindset that you need to change. So these 15 days are very special days, and many of you will find solutions to your problems during this 15 days itself. I have specifically revealed what you should do, what kind of rituals you should do during these 15 days. I have also given another alternative that you can do if you are not able to do the regular religious rituals.

Pitru Paksha literally means the period dedicated to our ancestors. You are not just an individual walking this earth. You are the living sum total of your forefathers and foremothers. Whether you love or dislike your parents, the undeniable truth is that their DNA and the DNA of your great grandparents flows within you. It is imprinted not only in your physical body, but also in certain qualities, tendencies and thought patterns you carry. After studying thousands of horoscopes, I have come to a profound realization. Specific conjunctions and planetary aspects in your chart are mirrored in the charts of your parents as well. It is also mirrored in the chart of your grandparents or even great grandparents. In simple words, what science refers to as DNA can also be traced astrologically through these planetary combinations. For instance, if your chart has a Saturn Rahu conjunction, you will invariably find that same conjunction in the horoscope of either a parent or a grandparent. Similarly, if you carry a Moon Jupiter conjunction, it will almost certainly reflect in one of your biological parents or great grandparents charts. This is the beauty and depth of cosmic inheritance. I share this insight so that you understand why your parents and ancestors are so significant. Hindu tradition has always recognized this ultimate truth. Which is why we observe a special 15 day period devoted entirely to our forefathers. Pitru Paksha. Pitru means ancestors, our forefathers and Paksha means a timeline of 15 days. But let me be blunt. It is utter hypocrisy to disrespect your living parents while only offering reverence to the departed ones. True homage means remembering both your ancestors in heaven as well as your parents who are still alive on earth. Always remember, the power of Pitru Paksha is immense. While the ignorant label this period as inauspicious, the wise recognize its sacred beauty. If your life feels stuck, if you are waiting for opportunities to break through, this is often the period when blessings flow, doors open and fortune shines. Why? Because from 7 September to 21 September, your ancestors descend from the higher realms to visit you. And if you have been remembering them, offering prayers or serving food to the needy in their memory, they ensure that your troubles ease and your life becomes more harmonious. If you are a good hearted soul, one who respects elders, refrains from wounding others with harsh words and remembers your lineage, then let me assure you, these 15 days of Pitru Paksha can turn out to be the most transformative days of your life. Even though this year the eclipses fall during Pitru Paksha, see it from a higher perspective. Your ancestors blessings will shield you from negative influences. The best practice therefore is to perform the Shraddha Vidhi, offering food, water and clothes in remembrance of your ancestors. You can also serve the poor and homeless, dedicating your good deeds to your lineage. Never forget, happiness is not something ready made. It flows from your own actions. I have often said if you don’t resonate with your biological family, you have every right to move away and create your own chosen family. But never hurt your parents. If you cannot connect, remain silent. Silence is less destructive than words that wound. The world is vast. Some are blessed with nurturing parents, while others unfortunately are born to abusive ones. I know this truth deeply for I interact daily with people from every corner of the world. Life is not black and white. It is painted with grey shades. The wise accept this and move on.

And so now as this auspicious period of Pitru Paksha begins from 7th September and will end on 21st September for these 15 fantastic days, this is what you can do so as to receive more blessings from your ancestors as well as become more successful during this special period of Pitru Paksha. And so, if you want to attract blessings, break barriers and move closer to your goals, then here are the five important powerful practices that you should perform during these 15 days.

1. Offer food to the needy in memory of your ancestors. A single meal served with love becomes a blessing multiplied many times over.

2. Light a diya, a lamp every evening in the south direction, which is the direction of the ancestors. While chanting your chosen mantra or simply remembering them.

3. Recite mantras. The two important Vishnu mantras. Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya And chant the other Vishnu mantra. Om Vishnave Namah. Dedicate the vibrations that you receive through this chanting to your lineage. Pray for your ancestors journey that their journey becomes more positive. And even in the heavens they get all that they wish for.

4.Avoid anger, harsh speech or disrespect toward elders. During this period, even silence is better than hurtful words.

5. Practice gratitude. Simply sitting quietly, remembering your ancestors and thanking them for your existence creates a deep karmic shift.

Always remember the significance of father, mother, grandmother, grandfather is immense. As you all know, at the age of 14 I became an orphan. So I never received the love of father or mother because I lost them very early in my life. But if you have them, and I can understand some of you may have abusive mother or abusive father. But I am saying to those who don’t have an abusive mother or father, then you please respect them. Because having a mother, a good mother and a good father is a very, very, I would say a privilege. So don’t take it for granted if you have a good mother, a loving, caring mother, or if you have a good caring father, respect them, do not offend them. As I said that paying respect to ancestors is fine, but you should also pay respect to those who are alive. And that is how you can attain balance in your life.

And now I will reveal the deeper rituals of Pitru Paksha. In our tradition, there are also specific rituals performed to pacify the souls of ancestors and dissolve karmic burdens. So I will reveal the three major Pitru Paksha rituals that you can perform. You can perform at your home by inviting a priest, or you can visit a pilgrimage place and you can perform it there. So the first ritual is the Tripindi Shraddha. It is performed to release souls of ancestors who may be stuck or restless. It helps clear deep ancestral karma and brings peace to both the departed souls and the family lineage. The second ritual that you can perform is known as Narayana Nagbali. It is a highly sacred ritual performed to free a soul from untimely death or to pacify souls who have not attained liberation. It is especially prescribed when there are issues of unnatural deaths or unresolved karmic patterns in the family. For example, if someone in your family has died because of an accident or because of any murder or because of suicide, or because of a massive heart attack, meaning if they have died suddenly, then you need to perform this Narayana Nagbali ritual so that they attain liberation, meaning their journey continues, their blocked journey opens up. And the third ritual is known as Pitru Dosh Nivaran Puja. This Pitru Dosh Nivarana Puja means removing all the troubles or the problems caused because of certain ancestral issues. So you have to do this to remove the impact of ancestral doshas, meaning the ancestral imbalances visible in your horoscope. By doing this ritual, it restores harmony, prosperity, and removes hurdles caused by unfulfilled desires of ancestors. So these three rituals, when performed sincerely, create immense positive energy and open pathways for growth, peace and prosperity. See, the logic here is very simple. If your ancestors are in trouble, then definitely your life will also not move on. You will remain stuck. There will be certain obstacles or hurdles that will come in your life, in your career, or in your relationship. So it is necessary that first you do these rituals so that your ancestors become happy. So that once they become happy, then your path on this planet also becomes much easier. You understand?

And so if for any reason you cannot perform these rituals, maybe you are living outside India, maybe you cannot find a good priest, or you do not have the means. Then you can simply donate certain items to Brahmins or priests in a temple during this Pitru Paksha period. So I will now reveal those items that you should donate in one go to a priest or a Brahmin. The first item is the ceremonial thread, also known as Janai in Marathi. It is known as Janava. In Hindi it is known as Janai. The second item is 1250 grams of black sesame seeds. The third item is 1250 grams of white rice. The fourth item is 1250 grams of Suji, that is granulated wheat. The fifth item is 2 liters of groundnut oil. The sixth item is 1250 grams of Poha which is flattened rice. The seventh item is 1250 grams of cow’s ghee. The eighth item is 1250 grams of jaggery powder. The ninth item is 7 meters of white cotton cloth mainly for dress material. The 10th item is 1250 grams of black urad dal. And the 11th item is optional. But based on the country and city you live, if you get this, it is the best. If you don’t, it is fine. You can just skip it. So the 11th item is 1250 grams of pumpkin. If you donate these 10 or 11 items to at least five Brahmins over this 15 days, nothing else needs to be done. You don’t need to perform any rituals, any of those three rituals that I mentioned earlier. Your duty is fulfilled and blessings will flow in your life. And if you live outside India or cannot find a Brahmin, then place all these items under a sacred people or banyan tree. Offer water through the palm of your right hand and chant Om Vishnave Namah. Om Vishnave Namah. Om Vishnave Namah. And remember your ancestors by taking their names. If you do not know their names, simply repeat the name of Lord Vishnu. For all ancestors ultimately merge in him.

Many years ago, a young man I knew was going through an extremely difficult phase in life. Nothing seemed to work for him. Business losses, broken relationships and constant health issues plagued him. He was intelligent, hard working and good at heart. Yet every effort ended in disappointment. One day, while speaking with me, he confessed that he had always ignored Pitru Paksha and never paid much attention to his ancestors. His relationship with his father was bitter and he carried resentment deep inside. I gently suggested that instead of clinging to anger, he should at least take one small step during the upcoming Pitru Paksha and perform Shraddha. Offer food to the needy in memory of his ancestors and sincerely pray for their peace. With hesitation, but also desperation, he finally agreed. That year, he performed the rituals with utmost sincerity, recited the sacred names of Lord Vishnu and for the first time lit a diya in the south direction for his forefathers. He even donated food and clothes to poor children, remembering his grandparents with love. And something incredible happened soon after. Within a month, the stuck court case that had been dragging on for years suddenly ended in his favor. His health began to improve and a business opportunity unexpectedly came his way through an old friend. Slowly, his life turned around. And later, with tears in his eyes, he told me, I never believed in these things, but now I know. My ancestors were waiting for me to remember them. The moment I did, they blessed me beyond measure. That is why in Hindu faith, in Hindu religion, ancestors are considered as God. That is why we say Pitru Devobhava. Pitru Devo. Devo means God. And so for us, our ancestors are no less than God. They are God. And so this is the unseen yet powerful truth of Pitru Paksha. Our ancestors never abandon us. They walk with us, unseen, yet deeply connected. And when we remember them with love, when we serve others in their memory, their blessings descend like rain upon parched earth, removing hurdles, healing wounds, and lighting the path ahead. And so, as you step into this sacred fortnight, remember, Pitru Paksha is not a ritual to be feared, but a celebration of your roots, your lineage, and the love that continues beyond lifetimes. Respect your living parents, honor your departed ancestors, and open your heart. The blessings you receive may just transform your destiny.

And so, now that I have revealed the true essence of this beautiful, divine, auspicious period of Pitru Paksha, let me emphasize on the fact that you can book a new car, you can book a new home, you can buy new clothes, or perform surgery, or sign an important document, or make major decisions during this wonderful and miraculous period of Pitru Paksha. Now, even after listening to all the insights I have shared with you, if you still want to stick to the old school thought of believing this period as inauspicious and living with a long face, then it is up to you. The wise will follow my words. Because the wise is perfectly aware that ancestors are not untouchables. They are your forefathers. And you came to this world only because of their blessings and actions. And now that I have shared with you all the greatness of this period, I will also journey to my village to perform the rituals and remember my ancestors, without whom I would not have manifested in this physical form.

Om Pitru devaya Namah Chant this Pitru mantra for 15 days, every morning, 108 times. If you are following me closely, and if you chant this mantra with consistency and faith, you will definitely see positive outcome in the days to come.

Jai Sri Ganesha. Jai Guru.

Namaste. Just two days ago, I received this Asia Excellence Award from the hands of Bollywood actress and Member of Parliament Jaya Pradhaji. And this award is not just mine, but also yours. Because for many days, months and years, I have been sharing on this platform and you all have been resonating, responding with your beautiful comments, your love. I am very thankful to each one of you. In our journey, we all come across all kind of challenges. There are many times people, negative people who try to hurt us. I am also not an exception to this. This entire journey, as I was going through, many negative, offensive people also came, but I never reacted to them. I simply blocked them and deleted them. Shift, delete and block. That’s all. Never react. Because when you react, you are trapped in that vicious cycle of karma. And as you all know, my journey began from the streets of Pune at the age of 14. And I had no mother and no father, and I was a homeless person from that point till today. You can see that I’m still alive. And this is an inspiration for you also that no matter how much difficult life is, if you stay faithful, if you stay positive, then you will definitely succeed.

Lunar eclipse is happening on Sunday. That is on the 7th of September. I have shared specific mantra, remedy, diet plan, as well as donations that you should do so as to bring down the intensity of the negative effects of this lunar eclipse. Always remember, everything is possible. However, you have to be consistent in whatever you are doing along with this revelations for all the 12 zodiac signs. When I say zodiac, I mean the moon sign. Because Vedic astrology is rooted in the moon sign. Everything comes down to this mind. People think that if money comes, then happiness comes, but that is not true. Otherwise every rich man and woman would have been happy forever. But that is not the case. In fact, it is the other way around. The more money comes, the more complications. So along with these revelations about diet plan, mantra remedy and donations, there is also very, very important message, especially for all my close followers, that if you truly want to evolve, then you should listen to this message. Always remember, narrow mind or narrowness can lead you to nowhere. And once again, I want to thank each one of you. I remember few of you, but if I take your names, then maybe there are others who are following me regularly. But I want to again thank each one of you for this award, which I received on Saturday 30 August, the Asia Excellence Award. This would have not been possible without your love and support.

The lunar eclipse. Chandra Grahan will grace the skies on the 7th of September exactly the day after the 10 day Ganesh festival concludes on the 6th. It feels symbolic, as if after bidding farewell to Lord Ganesha, remover of obstacles, the very next day the moon itself is veiled by shadow. A cosmic reminder that every ending births a new transition. A lunar eclipse occurs when the moon journeys over Rahu or Ketu. This year Rahu is transiting through Aquarius. And so the eclipse too falls in this sign of the water bearer. And let me tell you, Aquarius is already bearing a heavy load. Alongside Rahu’s transit, Aquarius is also enduring the last phase of Sade Sati, Saturn’s testing passage. If your moon sign is Aquarius, my heart reaches out to you, my fellows. I know the storms you may be facing, especially if your planetary period Mahadasha is Rahu, Ketu, or any other challenging configuration. It feels as if lifetimes of karmic debts have gathered at your doorstep demanding repayment all at once. That is why I always insist my fellows do not post negative comments, do not hurt others and do not discriminate based on caste or religion. Never sow new seeds of negativity when old karmas are already weighing heavy upon you. To look down upon others based on caste, religion or community is not only ignorance, it is a sure path to downfall. Remember, to be born a Brahmin or Kshatriya or Rajput in this life is no guarantee of the next. Karma decides everything, my fellows. Karma decides everything. A proud Brahmin today may be born in a dog’s family tomorrow. An arrogant priest today may return in the next birth carrying incurable diseases. Hundreds of such examples exist. For the law of Karma spares no one. The new age is sending us a message loud and clear. Embrace universality. There are millions of people across this planet speaking countless languages, living through infinite shades of life. What binds us together is not caste, not religion, not language, but our shared humanity. Aquarius, by its very nature, fights for equality, for human rights, for breaking rigid walls that divide people. The ruling planet of Aquarius is Uranus. Herschel. Uranus is the revolutionary force that disrupts old dogmas and births new consciousness. And that is why our times are called the Aquarian Age. Barriers are breaking, hearts are awakening. Humanity is rising. I have always said, if ever I am to teach someone astrology. That student must not be narrow minded, tied to one religion or bound by caste. He or she must be open to all faiths, all traditions, all languages, seeing beyond boundaries, respecting humanity above everything. A true seeker is one who uses his intelligence, not one who simply parrots scriptures without reflection. So as this lunar eclipse in Aquarius approaches, see it as a cosmic announcement. A tide of change is flowing. Over the coming 12 years, society will open further, embracing diversity, transcending rigid dogmas and uplifting the definition of modern life to an even higher plane. Remember, a lunar eclipse in any sign repeats only after 18 years. For Rahu and Ketu takes 18 years to complete one revolution through all 12 signs. This moment is significant and its ripple will be felt deeply.

I had already alerted you all about the twin eclipses of September, lunar and solar. Now let us begin to understand the impact of this 7 September lunar eclipse in the sign of Aquarius and how it will impact each of the 12 moon signs. Remember, the root of Vedic astrology is in the moon sign, the moon chart. And so these predictions are also based on moon signs.

Aries: For Aries, the Eclipse activates the 11th House of Gains from friends and social circles. You may find that people you trusted show their true colors. Now promises may not be fulfilled and expectations from friends or elder siblings could bring disappointment. This is a time when Rahu’s shadow tests your ability to detach from shallow connections and seek depth in relationships spiritually. This is a call to purify your circle. Do not chase every opportunity or cling to every relationship. Ask yourself who truly stands by you when storms arrive. Remember, quantity of friends means little, quality of connections is everything. Now I will reveal the mantra remedy, diet plan and donation that you should observe or do during this period. The mantra remedy is chant Om Hanumate Namah 108 times daily. Hanuman Ji removes Rahu’s illusions and grants courage. The meaning of the mantra is I bow to Hanuman who gives strength and protects against evil influences. The diet plan for Aries is keep meals light and energizing Moong Dal Khichdi with ghee, fresh fruits and coconut water will balance fiery Mars energy. Avoid alcohol, fried food and anger inducing spicy meals. Remember, whenever you eat spicy meals, you are more prone to becoming angry now and then. So avoid spicy meals during the lunar eclipse period. And regarding donation, you should donate jaggery, black sesame seeds or support the education of underprivileged children. Sharing knowledge clears Rahu’s karmic depths. Remember this.

Taurus: The eclipse falls in your 10th House of Karma, profession and public life. Career uncertainties may arise. Delays in promotions, authority figures being harsh, or sudden changes at the workplace. Do not fear these shifts. They are karmic adjustments preparing you for a new direction. Your dignity is being tested now. How you respond under pressure matters more than what happens externally. Avoid ego clashes with superiors and keep your karma clean. Do not abuse or offend others through your comments or actions. Chant the mantra Om Namah Shivaya. Om Namah Shivaya. Om Namah Shivaya meaning I bow to Lord Shiva, the eternal auspicious one. Lord Shiva calms restlessness, ambition and clears karmic blockages. And your diet plan. Keep sattvic diet of milk, curd fruits and leafy green vegetables. Avoid meat, onion and garlic until the eclipse is over. So two days before the eclipse and two days after the eclipse. For these around four, five days, maintain this satvic diet. And when it comes to donation, donate white rice, curd or milk to the needy. Supporting purity attracts career blessings. Remember this.

Gemini: for Gemini. The eclipse illuminates the 9th House of Dharma, higher wisdom and fatherly figures. You may feel restless about your faith, feelings, philosophies or guidance from elders. Differences with mentors or father could disturb your peace. Long journeys may face sudden delays. Yet this is a divine test to shift your faith from external authority to inner conviction. Real wisdom comes when scriptures become lived experience, not just words. Chant this powerful mantra 108 times. And when it comes to our diet plan, favor satvik meals like curd, rice, soaked almonds and seasonal fruits. Avoid stimulants like excess tea or coffee that disturb mercury’s restless energy. When it comes to donation, donate books, notebooks, pens, or even Bhagavad Gita to students. Sharing wisdom strengthens your dharma.

Cancer: This eclipse strikes the 8th House of Transformation. Longevity on occult and hidden matters. For cancer natives, emotional upheavals may shake you. Sudden expenses, health scares or deep psychological fears may surface now. But do not panic. This is Rahu’s way of forcing transformation. This is a spiritual initiation. The eighth house is the house of death and rebirth. Not necessarily physical death, but the death of illusions, death of false attachments and death of toxic patterns. If you embrace meditation and surrender, this eclipse can awaken hidden spiritual powers within you. Chant this mantra with deep surrender and follow a diet plan wherein you can fast with fruits and water on eclipse day as it will purify your karmas. And post eclipse, have light vegetable soups, satvik, khichdi and avoid tamasic food. And when it comes to donation, donate white clothes, cotton or milk to the needy. These soothe moon’s disturbed energy.

Leo: The eclipse falls in your seventh house of partnerships, marriage and business ties. Tensions in relationships may arise. Misunderstandings with spouse or partner may occur. Business collaborations may face temporary turbulence. So be aware. This is Rahu’s test. Are you seeking control in relationships or true companionship? The eclipse pushes you to shift from dominance to balance, from ego to understanding. Chant the mantra Om Shukraya Namah. It will soothe your strained relationships. And when it comes to diet plan, include sweet fruits, bananas, mangoes, custard, apple and dairy in your meals. Avoid sour food, alcohol and bitter speech. When it comes to donation, donate white sweets such as sugar or rice to young woman or couples in need. It harmonizes Venus energy.

Virgo: the eclipse casts its shadow on your sixth house of health, service, debts and hidden enemies. You may find old health issues resurfacing, particularly digestive or nervous complaints. Worthless conflicts or hidden enemies may try to disturb your peace. Since the eclipse is happening in your sixth house, you may even get more trouble through black magic attacks. So be aware and maintain a low profile. And in such a scenario, it is possible that debts that you have may feel heavy now. Yet remember, the sixth house is also the house of victory over obstacles. This eclipse is showing you where your weakness lie so that you can rise above them. If you discipline your lifestyle, stay humble and chant regularly, you will transform your struggles into stepping stones. Chant the mantra Om Namo Bhagavate Rudraya. And follow a diet plan where you will eat green vegetables, barley, buttermilk and khichdi. Avoid heavy, oily junk food that aggravates mercury’s anxiety. When it comes to donation, offer green vegetables or medicines to the poor or to a cow shelter.

Libra: For Libra. The eclipse illuminates the fifth house of creativity, intelligence, children and romance. If you are a student, studies may feel blocked. If you are in love, your relationship may go through testing times. Parents may face concerns for their children. The fifth house is also the house of Purva Punya, meaning past life, virtuous deeds. This eclipse may reveal karmic debts from previous lives through your children or through students or romantic connections. Embrace this as an opportunity to grow. Chant the mantra Om Klim Krishnaya Namah. And when it comes to our diet plan, eat sweet fruits, honey, warm milk and nuts. Avoid stale food and excess fast food. When it comes to donation, donate toys, notebooks or food to children in orphanages or underprivileged schools.

Scorpio: This eclipse falls in your fourth house of home, mother, property and emotional peace. Domestic matters may feel disturbed. Conflicts at home, issues with property or emotional heaviness may surface. Relationship with mother may require more compassion and patience. The lesson here is emotional detachment. Scorpio Energy often clings too deeply. And Rahu in your fourth house reminds you home is not just a physical place, it is the peace within your heart. Chant the mantra Om Durgaye Namah. And drink coconut water, fresh milk and eat rice based meals. Avoid tamasic food like non veg meat, alcohol and excess garlic and onion. And when it comes to donation, donate blankets, white clothes or grains to poor women, widows or motherly figures in need.

Sagittarius: The eclipse energizes your third house of communication, courage, siblings and efforts. Misunderstandings with siblings or neighbors may occur. Rash decisions in travel or business may cause stress. Be mindful of your speech. One harsh word could undo years of trust. This is a time to cultivate courage not through aggression, but through calm faith. Channel your energy into mantra, chanting, writing or journaling. Chant the mantra Om Shri Ramaya Namah. And follow a diet plan where you eat more sprouts fruits, barley, roti and khichdi. Avoid excess chili and spices that agitate Jupiter’s wisdom. And when it comes to donation, donate yellow fruits like bananas or books to students. Support your younger siblings if they are struggling. Help them in whatever way it is possible for you.

Capricorn: The eclipse touches your second house of family speech and wealth. Control your tongue during this time, my fellows. Capricorn. Control your tongue. Words may come out harsher than intended, leading to family conflict. Financial worries may weigh heavy upon you, but avoid risky investments during this period. The second house is also the house of values. This eclipse asks you, do you value people above positions or positions above people? Choose wisely and chant the mantra Om Shri Ganeshaya Namah. Chant this mantra with deep devotion. The blessings of Lord Ganesh will help you remain calm and you will be able to control your mind. In a more efficient way. When it comes to our diet plan, take simple satvic meals such as chapati or roti dal vegetables. Avoid alcohol, smoking and heavy rich food. When it comes to donation, donate grains, ghee or food packets to an old age home or a needy family.

Aquarius: this Eclipse this lunar eclipse falls directly on you, my fellow Aquarius as it activates your first house of self, body and destiny. Expect an emotional storm, fatigue, self doubt, health concerns and deep karmic tests. With both Rahu’s shadow and Sade Sati’s weight. This is a karmic constant crossroad for you. But remember, Aquarius is not a sign of despair. It is the sign of revolution, of breaking boundaries. The eclipse is forcing you to shed arrogance, false pride and narrowness. Embrace humility, spirituality and humanity. You are being prepared for a higher destiny. Chant the mantra Om Namah Shivaya. Lord Shiva absorbs karmic burdens and gives new life. So surrender to Lord Shiva and continue chanting this mantra 108 times on the lunar eclipse day as well as two days before the eclipse and two days after the eclipse. And when it comes to your diet plan, fasting with fruits, milk or water on the lunar eclipse day is best for you. Aquarius and post eclipse, take only Satwik vegetarian meals. Avoid non veg for the entire week. That is three days before the eclipse and three days after the eclipse. When it comes to donation, donate black sesame seeds, black blankets or footwear to the poor homeless. Help the oppressed and downtrodden people.

And now comes my all time favorite sign. If you all have been following me, you all know that Pisces is my all time favorite sign. And so for Pisces, the eclipse illuminates your 12th house of sleep, moksha, expenditure and foreign lands. You may feel restless, unable to sleep or emotionally isolated. Expenses may rise unexpectedly. But this is also the house of spiritual awakening. If you surrender, the eclipse will take you inward. This is a golden time for meditation. Mantra chanting and connecting to your inner silence. Do not fear solitude, my fellows. It is your path to moksha. The best mantra remedy for Pisces during the lunar eclipse that is two days before lunar eclipse and two days after lunar eclipse, you should chant this mantra Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya meaning I bow to Vasudeva, the eternal divine refuge. It grants inner peace and spiritual strength. My Fellows, chant this mantra on all the days including the lunar eclipse day. And your diet plan should be wherein you will fast with fruits, coconut water and Satvik vegetarian meals. Avoid indulgence or overeating out of restlessness. And when it comes to donation, donate fruits, bed sheets or help hospitals or some monastery supporting those in isolation will uplift your own karmas.

This lunar eclipse is not a curse, but a cosmic classroom. The shadows it casts are nothing but the reflection of our own karmas. Do not post negativity, do not hurt others, and never discriminate by caste or religion. Aquarius, the sign of humanity, reminds us that in the end, only compassion, humility and surrender to the Divine will carry us across.

Mahatma Gandhi once said, without devotion, action and knowledge is cold and dry. And at times they even become shackles. These words remind me of a profound real life incident from the time when the great spiritual master Akalkot Swami Samartha walked in physical form. There were two Brahmins in those days. Arrogant, swollen with pride, blinded by the false glitter of the thousands of scriptures they had memorized. With hypocrisy in their hearts and vanity in their minds, they set out on a so called victory tour. With the King’s sanction, they roamed village to village, summoning Brahmins, demanding debates on the holy Vedas. Wherever they won, they forced others to issue them a certificate of defeat, inflating their egos further. In time, they reached Kumasi, where Trivikram Bharti, the humble disciple of Akkalkot Swami, resided. With folded hands, he told them, I am a simple monk. I have not mastered the Vedas. For me, victory or defeat is the same. I cannot debate with you. But the Brahmins demanded a certificate. When Trivikram refused, they grew insistent. Finally he suggested, let us go to my Guru. Whatever he says shall be the truth. When they reached, Trivikram prostrated before his guru, narrated the incident and sought his guidance. Sri Guru calmly said, do not be arrogant of your victories. Even the Gods cannot fathom the infinite depths of the Vedas. But the two Brahmins laughed. Believing he was evading debate, they challenged him directly, demanding proof. The master, Sri Guru, simply looked across the street, noticed a humble man from the Dalit community, a community that is considered or was considered during those time as a lower class community. And so he called him near. With compassion, he said, do not fear. Step forward. Seven lines were drawn on the ground. With each line you cross, said the Guru, your past lives shall return to you. And as the man crossed line after line, memories of past births unfolded. As a hunter, as a fisherman, as a merchant, as a warrior, and finally a Brahmin well versed in the Vedas, all these past birth cycles unfolded. And as he crossed line after line, and then finally, the Master sprinkled sacred ash upon him. And in an instant his form transformed. Luminous, radiant. The brilliance of a Brahmin scholar glowing through him. With folded hands, the man began reciting the Vedas fluently. Leaving the two arrogant Brahmins speechless, trembling and stricken with chest pain, their pride collapsed, their false knowledge shattered. Prostrating before the Master, prostrating before the Guru, they begged forgiveness. With infinite compassion, the Guru said, you have mocked the sanctity of the Vedas and misused your birth as Brahmins. Hence, in your next life you shall wander as a Brahmarakshas, that is, as a ghost on the banks of the Ganga until a pious soul redeems you. This incident reveals the eternal truth, my fellows. Caste, wealth, power and status of this birth carry no guarantee for the next birthday. Arrogance in this life leads to downfall in another. I too have witnessed this narrowness in our times. Some condemned me for revering Sai Baba, saying, Sai Baba was a Muslim. How can you praise him? Others taunted me, you are a Brahmin. How can you speak so greatly of the Buddha when it was Brahmins who once opposed him? This is the tragedy of a limited mind, my fellows. These people never rise because they cling to labels and not humanity. And as a result they fall from grace, suffering not only in this life, but also in future birth cycles. But as I always say, I am not here for them. I am here for those few good hearted seekers. The ones making a sincere effort to rise above religious dogmas, caste pride and language barriers. People talk endlessly of spirituality and religion, yet they have not even become human. As the great saint Sridhar Swamy of Alandi used to say, man is still a two legged animal until he makes effort to expand his consciousness.

And how beautiful is this divine synchronicity that the very message we are contemplating now is none other than the message of Aquarius, the sign of humanity, freedom and equality. That is why I have immense respect for the zodiac sign Aquarius. We are living in the Aquarian age. An age that will no longer tolerate narrowness, discrimination of caste, discrimination of religion or language will be uprooted, democracy will refine, society will evolve and humanity will slowly embrace universality. Even great masters have confirmed this, my fellows, Swami Yukteswargiri the Guru of Paramahan’s Yogananda. In his timeless work, the book Holy Science clearly states that Kali Yug is over. We are now in Dwapar Yuga, an age of rising consciousness. The coming decades will only deepen this current. So, my friends, as this lunar eclipse in Aquarius unfolds, let us shred arrogance, drop pride and remember. True spirituality is not in clinging to a caste or creed or language. It is in expanding consciousness. In becoming truly human.

Jai Sri Ganesha. Jai Guru.

Namaste. The month of September is very stormy because there are two eclipses plus Mercury is also falling under the shadow of Rahu and Ketu. So the overall month of September is definitely a challenging month for many of you.

From 22nd June until 30th August, Mercury had been moving through the sensitive waters of Cancer. Now, Cancer is a deeply nurturing and motherly sign. While Mercury by nature is a restless logician, a sharp analyst, a merchant who thrives on calculation and reason. Place this businessman or mathematician in a nursery full of children and you can imagine the discomfort. That is what Mercury feels in Cancer. Those born with Mercury in Cancer often carry a childlike streak. Their words may lack diplomacy. Their logic may appear clouded. Yet in the chart of a woman, this placement takes on a different fragrance. Because Cancer is feminine, Mercury here blesses a woman with tenderness, sensitivity, and motherly warmth. She becomes innocent, receptive and easily moved by the beauty of poetry and dance. Such women radiate purity. They live in a dreamy world that God himself seems to adore. But in this practical, cunning and corrupt world, such women often suffer. Their open trusting hearts become prey to betrayal in love. They love sincerely. They give selflessly and yet they are deceived by men who abandon them leaving them in shock and despair. I personally hold great admiration for a woman with Mercury in Cancer. If you are listening to me and if you have this Mercury Cancer then know this. I can understand you more deeply than anyone else.

Now after 68 days Mercury is ready to leave the sheltering womb of Cancer and march into the dramatic and fiery sign of Leo on 30th August. But here begins the turbulence in Leo. Mercury encounters Ketu Maharaj. And as Rahu transits Aquarius, the sign directly opposite Leo, Mercury falls into the web of Rahu and Ketu. This alignment creates what we call a Buddha gra. Mercury overshadowed, eclipsed and confused in the smoke of illusion. This means the month of September will be filled with drama, chaos, and uncertainty. The financial markets are likely to stumble. A crash could trigger temporary panic and widespread stress. And the intensity only deepens on 7th September when a lunar eclipse in Aquarius eclipses the moon as well. And so both Mercury and the moon falling under the spell of Rahu and Ketu. These celestial patterns are not to be taken lightly.

My fellows, I want to lovingly but firmly alert all my close followers. Stay vigilant in September. Do not take unnecessary risks. Avoid gambling in the stock market or speculating with your assets. This is a month to remain grounded, cautious and prayerful. When we look at the larger picture, India’s economy is already fragile. With the ongoing tariff struggles and uncertain global climate, the shadows of Rahu and Ketu may bring loss of jobs, political unrest and economic strain. The vision of stability may weaken. Opposition parties voices may grow stronger and the ruling powers may find themselves struggling to keep control. The geopolitical stage looks vulnerable and India may face its share of the heat more intensely than many other nations. Even governments are not immune to the shifts of destiny and these transits serve as a celestial warning.

So as we step into September with Mercury, the moon and later even the sun walking into the smoky shadows of Rahu and Ketu, let us carefully observe how this drama in the heavens reflects upon your own life. Based on your moon sign, we will now see what lessons, challenges, and transformations await you in the coming month along with the remedies.

Aries moon sign. Beloved Aries, this September the battlefield lies between your heart and your worldly ambitions. Mercury enters Leo on 30th August only to fall into the smoky shadow of Ketu while Rahu gazes from Aquarius. This creates a tug of war. Your love, your creativity and children on one side and your gains, friendships and ambitions on the other side. On 7th September, the lunar eclipse in Aquarius may bring shocks in friendships or sudden changes in your social circle. And then on the 21st September, the solar eclipse strikes at your heart. Love may test you, children may challenge you, and creativity may feel blocked. But remember, eclipses do not destroy, they only cleanse. What is false will vanish. What is true will shine brighter. And so dear Aries, avoid risky speculation or hasty decisions in money matters and love. Be patient with your children and gentle with your partners. Chant daily the mantra Om Namah Shivaya. This is your anchor through the storm. And to reduce the intensity of this malefic influence, perform donations. Offer green moong dal or green vegetables on Wednesdays to the needy to pacify Mercury and donate black sesame seeds or black cloth on Saturdays to reduce Rahu Ketu afflictions and share food or fruits with young children and students to harmonize the fifth house energy. Always remember what is unreal will fade away and only the real will remain with you.

Taurus. Beloved Taurus, this September the spotlight shifts to your fourth house of home, mother and inner peace and your 10th house of career, reputation and responsibilities. Mercury enters Leo on 30th August in your 4th house where Ketu is already stationed. Opposite to Ketu in your 10th house of Aquarius sits Rahu. This sets the stage for restlessness in your domestic life while your professional world demands more from you. The lunar eclipse on 7th September in your 10th house may bring sudden changes in your career, disturbances in workplace relationships or shifts in leadership. Be careful of office politics and avoid unnecessary conflicts with authority figures. Then on 21st September, the solar eclipse strikes your 4th house, bringing emotional turbulence at home. Matters related to your mother’s health, property or vehicles may come to the forefront. Inner peace may feel disturbed and your heart may feel unsettled. But remember, eclipses are not meant to harm but to awaken. They strip away illusions so that you can find what truly matters. And so Taurus, at work remain calm and detached. Avoid office gossip. At home, listen more, speak less and give love to your family. Chant the mantra Om Rudraya Namah. It will balance your emotions and strengthen your heart. And to reduce the intensity of these planetary influences, perform donations. Offer white rice or milk to the needy on Mondays to pacify the moon. Donate green moong dal on Wednesdays at Ganesh temple or to any poor fellow to receive Mercury’s blessings. And support a poor student with books or notebooks. This harmonizes the fourth and 10th axis of learning and responsibilities. Always remember the storms outside are nothing when the lamp inside you continues to glow.

Gemini. Beloved Gemini, this September the cosmic spotlight falls on your third house of communication, courage and siblings and your 9th house of dharma, father and higher destiny. On 30th August, Mercury enters Leo in your 3rd house where Ketu is already seated. Opposite in your 9th house of Aquarius, Rahu exerts its shadow. This alignment may test your courage, your communication with siblings or neighbors and even your relationship with your father or a mentor. The lunar eclipse on 7th September in Aquarius can create sudden disagreements with teachers, spiritual guides or authority in religion and law. Be cautious in your words as even a small argument can magnify. And then on 21st September, the solar eclipse may impact your confidence, your speech, and your ability to take bold steps. Siblings too may bring sudden concerns. You may feel restless, doubting your own decisions. But remember, the eclipse hides only the light. It can never destroy the light. After the shadow passes, clarity returns brighter than before. And so, dear Gemini, avoid unnecessary debates with siblings, teachers or fatherly figures. Travel plans may get disrupted. So be flexible. Chant daily Om Shri Ganeshaya Namah. By chanting this mantra, you will feel calm. You will be able to calm your restless mind and restore courage. To reduce the intensity of these planetary afflictions, perform donations. Offer green vegetables or moong dal on Wednesdays to strengthen Mercury. Donate yellow fruits like bananas on Thursdays to balance the 9th house energy of Guru and support the education of a child. This aligns your karmic balance with the 3rd house and 9th house axis. And always remember your true power lies not in words but in the silence that guides your words.

Cancer. Beloved Cancer, this September the cosmic spotlight falls on your second house of wealth, speech and family and your 8th house of hidden changes, fears and transformation. On 30th August, Mercury moves into Leo in your second house where Ketu already resides. Opposite in Aquarius, Rahu shadows your 8th house. This brings sudden ups and downs in wealth, family matters and speech. Guard your words for they may easily be misunderstood. The lunar eclipse on 7th September in your 8th house may stir hidden fears, health issues or sudden financial concerns. Unexpected expenses or family disputes may surface. And then on 21st September, the solar eclipse impacts your communication, speech, food intake, and family harmony. You may feel unheard or emotionally disconnected at home. But remember, the eclipses never destroy. They only reveal. They uncover hidden truths so that real healing can begin. And so, dear Cancer, avoid harsh words. Speak gently for your speech is powerful. Be careful with food and finances. Keep life simple and pure this month. Chant the mantra Om Shreem Mahalakshmi Namah. It will soothe your heart and bring stability to your family life. And to reduce the intensity of these shadows, perform donations. Offer white rice, milk or sugar on Mondays to pacify the moon. Donate green moong dal or green vegetables on Wednesdays for Mercury’s grace. Feed poor children or donate food grains. This will balance the 2nd and 8th house karmas. Always remember true wealth is not what you hold but in what you give with love.

Leo. Beloved Leo, this September the eclipses shine directly upon you. The drama unfolds in your first house of self, health and identity and your 7th house of relationships, marriage and partnerships. On 30th August, Mercury enters your sign Leo in the first house where Ketu already sits. Opposite in Aquarius, Rahu shadows your 7th house. This axis will test both your inner strength and your relationships. The lunar eclipse on 7th September in Aquarius may bring sudden turbulence in partnerships be it marriage or business ties. Hidden truths may surface and relationships may feel unstable. Then on 21st September the solar eclipse strikes your very being. Your health, your self-confidence and clarity may feel shaken. This is a time of inner transformation. A time when the ego is eclipsed so that the soul may awaken. But remember an eclipse does not take away your light. It only reminds you that your true light is beyond body and mind. And so, dear Leo, take care of your health, rest well, eat mindfully and stay grounded. Avoid conflicts in relationships. Patience is your true strength. Chant daily Om Namah Shivaya. This mantra will protect your aura and your inner vitality. And to reduce the intensity of these planetary shadows, perform donations, offer wheat, jaggery or red cloth on Sundays to the needy to harmonize the sun. Donate green moong dal on Wednesdays for Mercury’s blessings and help the poor or sick with medicines or health support. This strengthens your first and 7th house balance. And always remember the shadow may fall on you but the shadow is not you. Your true self is untouchable.

Virgo. Beloved Virgo, this September the shadow falls on your 12th house of sleep, expenses and foreign connections and your sixth house of work, health and enemies. On 30th August, Mercury enters Leo in your 12th house joining Ketu. Opposite in Aquarius, Rahu casts his influence over your sixth house. This brings challenges in health, workplace matters and financial expenses. Sleep patterns may get disturbed and hidden fears may rise to the surface. The lunar eclipse on 7th September in Aquarius could bring sudden issues in daily work, disputes with colleagues or health related concerns. Then on 21st September, the solar eclipse in Leo strikes your 12th house bringing expenses, hidden worries and emotional restlessness. Foreign connections or travel plans may also face unexpected obstacles. But remember the 12th house is also the house of liberation. When the shadow falls here, it is an invitation to look within and grow spiritually. And so dear Virgo, prioritize your health, avoid overwork, eat light and meditate daily. Be cautious with loans, debts and unnecessary expenses and chant daily Om Namo Narayanaya. This will bring healing to your mind and body. And to reduce the intensity of these planetary shadows, perform donations. Offer green moong dal or green vegetables on Wednesdays to strengthen Mercury.

And so the month of September arrives wrapped in shadows, a month highly vulnerable to negative energy attacks, sudden shifts, and karmic turbulence. This is not the time to take risk or jump into major decisions. Instead, remain vigilant, walk slowly, and allow the storm to pass. September is like a litmus test, a test of patience, awareness, and inner strength. If you can sail through this storm with faith and balance, then the month of October will greet you with rewards, relief, and moments of joy. But remember only those good-hearted souls who raise their awareness, practice the suggested remedies and focus on selfless karma will find the strength to cross this chaotic month unharmed.

The larger world too reflects this turbulence. With the Indian economy already weakened by tariff wars and the rapid rise of AI reshaping industries, the possibility of more job layoffs and business closures in the next 6 months cannot be ignored. Eclipses are the harbingers of change and transformation and transformation is never easy. Economies heavily tied to the leading powers of the world will feel the tremors even more deeply. Political instability, economic downturns, job loss, unemployment, and even environmental disasters, all these waves may rise in the coming time. And yet within every destruction lies the seed of a new creation. Every ending clears the stage for a new beginning, a new chapter, a new destiny to unfold.

So do not grieve over what leaves you during this time. Instead, trust that every loss now is only guiding you towards a greater breakthrough. The universe never takes without giving something higher in return. Stay alert, stay prayerful and especially if you are under the grip of a difficult Mahadasha of Rahu or Ketu Mahadasha, be even more mindful of your thoughts and actions. September may test you with storms, but storms are not meant to drown you. They are meant to cleanse you. And always remember the only way to overcome the greatest storms of life is through surrender. Surrender to the Almighty. Surrender to your Guru. Surrender to existence itself. Total surrender does not happen in a day. It is a journey. Slowly slowly through consistent spiritual practice, through consistent mantra chanting, through consistent daily meditation and humility you arrive at the doorstep of surrender. And once you live in surrender, life is no longer your burden. God takes over. And when God takes over, you are safe. You are carried. You are protected. You are free.

So my dear ones, hold tight and stay vigilant. Remember during the period of eclipses, negative energies and black magic attacks often intensify. Many things may seem at stake, but if you truly believe in yourself, you will sail safely through the stormy month of September. Always remember you cannot believe in God until you believe in yourself. Growth is always from the inside out. No one can hand it to you. No one can make you spiritual. No one can awaken you except your own soul. Your soul is your greatest teacher. The greatest sin is not to fail but to think that you are weak. You are not weak. You are powerful. You are divine. You are a child of God. And when you stop resisting, when you let God take the wheel of your life, miracles unfold. He can do with your life what you alone cannot even imagine.

The entire message of this month, of these storms, of these eclipses rests in a single word. Surrender. If this message touches your heart, if you can resonate with its depth, then my friend, you have nothing to fear. You will be all right.

Jai Sri Ganesha. Jai Guru.
