Partial Lunar Eclipse
The Moon rules your mind. This eclipse hits it directly.
On August 28, the Moon slips into Earth's shadow — a deep partial lunar eclipse and full moon that peaks with roughly 96% of the Moon covered. In Vedic astrology, this eclipse falls in Pisces, opposite the Sun in Virgo, on the same Rahu-Ketu axis every eclipse moves through. Where a solar eclipse reroutes your outer life, a lunar eclipse works on the Moon itself — your mind, your emotions, whatever you've been carrying quietly.
Its effects don't end when the Moon clears the shadow. Like the solar eclipse two weeks before it, this one is considered active for the following 4–6 months — which is exactly why so many people check their chart before, not after, an eclipse like this hits.

Questions
Questions people usually have
Is this based on my Sun sign or Moon sign?+
Everything on Indastro is calculated using your Vedic Moon Sign, which is considered more accurate for personal readings than Western Sun-sign astrology.
Do I need my exact birth time?+
Yes. The eclipse's effect depends on which house of your chart it falls in, and that's determined by your exact birth time — not just your sun sign. If you don't know it exactly, check your birth certificate or hospital record before ordering.
Is this eclipse only relevant to Cancer and Scorpio?+
These signs feel it most directly, but the eclipse still lands somewhere in every chart — it just shows up in a different house, and therefore a different area of life, for each person. Your report tells you exactly where.
Can I still order after the eclipse date has passed?+
Yes — the eclipse's effects are considered active for 4-6 months afterward, so a reading is still useful even if you order after August 28.
How is this different from a generic horoscope app?+
Every report is personalized using your exact birth chart, including planetary positions, yogas, strength analysis, and a detailed 5-year outlook.
The shadow doesn't wait. Neither should your reading.
