This Lunar Eclipse at 18° of Leo falls in Pūrva Phālgunī, the star of pleasure, purpose, and refined enjoyment. Leo is the sovereign heart. Under this eclipse, our hearts undergo a karmic audit.
What has been half-hearted cannot remain.
What has been guarded too tightly cannot breathe.
What has been performed rather than lived begins to dissolve.
The star field hosting the eclipse is Pūrva Phālgunī, ruled by Bhaga, the distributor of fortune and sensual intelligence. All eclipses carry the energy of the Naga, a rising force that is electric and sharp. Now active in Pūrva Phālgunī, it reveals where pleasure has turned into attachment, where comfort has become stagnation, and where desire has quietly shaped us.
Opposite the Moon sit retrograde Mercury, Mars, the Sun, and Rahu, intensifying reactivity, ego sensitivity, and relational volatility. Mars in Aquarius is highly volatile, and with Rahu and under the gaze of stationary Jupiter, it becomes magnified. Making March a particularly volatile month.
All the graha in Aquarius are under the steady gaze of stationary Jupiter. This is critical. Jupiter slows the field and magnifies truth. What is exposed now is not random; it is instructional.
Eighth from the eclipse, exalted Venus, conjunct Saturn, walks us towards a reality check, where fantasy dissolves, and bonds get refined, and boundaries become necessary. A reality becomes impossible to ignore
The day after the eclipse is Holi, the festival of fire and colour. Symbolically, it is the burning of regret, resentment, and old narratives. Let the fire take what the eclipse reveals.
This cycle also aligns with Lakshmi Jayanthi, the appearance day of Lakshmi Devi. Lakshmi, whose name means goal, embodies a state of flow where joy and purpose meet. A joy aligned with dharma that strengthens life force.
This also marks the entry of Kaal Sarpya Yoga Influence through mid-summer, where intensity increases. All planets fall between Rahu and Ketu, karmic acceleration sharpens. Patterns surface rapidly. Emotional responses amplify. Destiny feels compressed.
May you move through this eclipse with sensitivity and precision, adorned with the jewels of your own inner knowing.
With infinite love and affection,
Siri Prakash
