This rare conjunction will occur today after 64 years on the Solar Eclipse, affecting these zodiac signs deeply

The solar eclipse on the new moon day in 2026 is expected to have significant astrological implications for various zodiac signs.

The first solar eclipse of 2026 is set to occur today, starting at 5:31 PM and ending at 7:57 PM Indian time. Although this eclipse won't be visible in India and thus does not have a 'sutik' or inauspicious period associated with it, it is considered important from an astrological standpoint. The eclipse features the Sun in Aquarius in conjunction with Rahu, and since Aquarius is ruled by Saturn, this conjunction is viewed as particularly impactful. This new moon eclipse is said to influence all 12 zodiac signs, but certain signs are advised to exercise caution. According to astrological beliefs, when a new moon falls on a Tuesday and the moon is in the Shatabhisha Nakshatra, it creates a unique yoga that occurs only after several decades. This period is considered favorable for spiritual activities, writing, and other endeavors, but it may also lead to increased mental fluctuations. Among the zodiac signs, Cancer individuals may find this time challenging due to the positions of the Sun and Moon affecting their eighth house. They are encouraged to remain cautious during this period as the astrological implications could bring some turbulence in various aspects of their lives.
