What is Grahan Yoga or Grahan Dosh :-
When the Sun or the Moon forms a conjunction with Rahu or Ketu in any house of an individual’s horoscope, this configuration is known as a ‘Permanent Grahan Yoga’ (Eclipse Combination) within the chart.
Furthermore, whenever the Antardasha (sub-period) of Rahu or Ketu occurs during the Mahadasha (major period) of the Sun or the Moon (and vice versa), this specific duration is considered the active phase of the ‘Grahan Dosha‘ (Eclipse Affliction). Being ‘shadow planets’ (Chhaya Grahas), Rahu and Ketu are immensely powerful and influential; they act as potent ‘ecliptors,’ diminishing the auspicious or beneficial effects of the Sun and the Moon.
Consequently, if an individual comes under the influence of the planetary periods (Dashas) of the Sun, the Moon, Rahu, or Ketu during the corresponding years of their life, they may have to confront the intensely negative repercussions of the ‘Grahan Yoga.’
In practical terms, through the mechanism of ‘Grahan Yoga,’ Rahu or Ketu can obliterate both the general and specific significations associated with the Sun or the Moon.
Individuals born around the dates of a solar or lunar eclipse—or specifically on the very day of such an eclipse—must perform the ‘Grahan Yoga Puja,’ as recommended by the principles of Vamtantra.

What is the impact of Grahan Yoga?
Surya Grahan Yoga (Solar Eclipse Yoga) can afflict an individual with various types of problems across multiple spheres of life; the specific nature of these issues depends on the zodiac sign in which this Grahan Dosha is situated, as well as the overall structure of the horoscope.
- Obstacles in attaining name, fame, and advancement within one’s respective career field.
- Even one’s best efforts yield no tangible results or impact, leading to a stagnation in overall growth.
- Difficulties in conceiving children, recurrent miscarriages, or afflictions related to the prospect of having a male child.
- Chronic health ailments (particularly heart and skin-related conditions) affecting either the individual themselves or their children.
- Facing regular and recurring problems on a consistent basis.
- Experiencing extreme frustration due to defamation or loss of reputation stemming from unknown causes.
