Feeling unusually scattered or reactive this week? There’s a cosmic reason behind the chaos.

September’s lunar eclipse (chandra grahaṇa) brings what Vedic astrology calls Rāhu’s shadow, a time of mental fog, heightened emotions, and clouded judgment. In jyotiṣa, eclipses are traditionally seen as inauspicious, so it is wise to pause, reflect, and conserve energy rather than force big moves.

Whether in relationships or work life, you may notice:

Tensions and reactive responses rising
Decision-making feeling unusually heavy
Disruptions or unexpected shifts unfolding
Your usual clarity seems clouded

According to Vedic wisdom, actions taken during eclipses carry amplified karmic weight. This is why the ṛṣis advised avoiding new beginnings and instead focusing on purification, reflection, and completion.

Don’t panic. This is simply cosmic timing working through your reality. The most successful conscious entrepreneurs and spiritual leaders throughout history have known when to act and when to pause.

3 things to focus on during this eclipse portal:

Delay major launches or announcements until after September 21/22
Focus on completion rather than starting new initiatives
Use this energy for reflection, strategic planning, team reviews, process improvements

Sometimes the most powerful decision in conscious entrepreneurship or in life is recognising when external forces are at play and adjusting your strategy accordingly.

What patterns are you noticing in your life this week?
