Astrological events tend to have varying effects on different zodiac signs, depending on the planetary positions at that particular time
With the upcoming lunar eclipse, certain zodiac signs are likely to experience adverse effects while others may benefit from it
On Friday, May 5th, 2023, the first lunar eclipse or Chandra Grahan of the year will occur during Vaishakh Purnima, also known as Buddha Purnima. This celestial event will commence at 8:45pm and conclude at 1:46am, lasting for a total of 4 hours. According to tradition, the Sutak period, which is considered inauspicious, begins 9 hours prior to the start of the Grahan. However, as this lunar eclipse will not be visible in India, the Sutak period will not have any significant adverse effects in comparison.
Astrological events tend to have varying effects on different zodiac signs, depending on the planetary positions at that particular time. The upcoming lunar eclipse is no exception, with certain zodiac signs likely to experience adverse effects while others may benefit from it. Based on astrological charts, Capricorn, Leo, and Gemini are expected to be the least affected by this eclipse, and may even enjoy a period of good fortune in the next six months. However, one can take measures to reduce the negative impact of the Grahan by following certain tips diligently.
To minimize the ill effects of the upcoming Lunar Eclipse, Dr Geetanjali Saxena shares some remedies and tips that can be practiced by each zodiac sign during this phase.
Aries: Arians should donate 100 grams of red masoor dal or red lentils to the needy.
Taurus: Taurus folks should donate 100 grams of any white colored sweet to the unprivileged.

One master remedy for the day would be adding in a Tulsi Leaf also known as Basil leaf in one’s meal and offering to the almighty before consuming it. “This is believed to take off all the negativity from one’s life that would be caused due to eating during a Grahan,” shares Dr Geetanjali Saxena.
