The word “Grahan” is derived from the Sanskrit word “Grahanam”, and it means “Eclipse”. A grahan dosh refers to the negative impacts of eclipses on a person’s life according to Vedic astrology. The position and placement of the Sun (Surya Grahan) and Moon (Chandra Grahan) in your Kundli indicate if you have this dosh and how it may influence your life. The Grahan or Eclipse occurs when the shadow planets, Rahu and Ketu, are in close meeting with the Sun or the Moon.
This co-existing of Rahu and Ketu with either the Sun or the Moon happens at different times and has different impacts on individuals. So, when a person is born when Rahu and Ketu are in close conjunction with the Sun, the native is impacted in a certain way. On the other hand, when Rahu and Ketu are sitting together with the Moon during a native’s birth, the influences are different. All these happen in a certain house of Kundli.
Types of Grahan Dosha In Kundli Astrology
There are four main types of Grahan Dosh that can negatively impact your life, according to Vedic astrology. And you know what! Understanding these astrological concepts and how they relate to your own kundli is the first step you take toward preventing yourself from Grahan Dosha symptoms.
1. Purna Surya Grahan Dosh (Full Solar Eclipse Dosh)
When the Sun and Rahu are conjunct in the house of someone’s Kundli, it leads to Purna Surya Grahan Dosh. During the eclipse, the sun is completely covered by the moon, i.e. a full Solar eclipse. These graha dosha symptoms include problems with authority figures, lack of confidence and self-esteem issues.
2. Partial Surya Grahan Dosh (Partial Solar Eclipse Dosh)
The conjunction of the Sun and Ketu forms Partial Surya Grahan Dosh or Surya Ketu Dosh. Moreover, if only part of the sun is covered during an eclipse, this indicates Partial Surya Grahan Dosh. This often signifies a lack of peace of mind, feelings of loneliness or isolation, and physical ailments related to hormones or digestion.
3. Purna Chandra Grahan Dosh (Full Lunar Eclipse Dosh)
The conjunction of the Moon and Rahu is known as Purna Chandra Grahan Dosh or Chandra rahu grahan dosh. A full lunar eclipse points to Purna Chandra Grahan Dosh and causes Chandra dosha symptoms like sleep disorders, lack of focus and relationship troubles.
4. Partial Chandra Grahan Dosh (Partial Lunar Eclipse Dosh)
When the Moon and Ketu are conjunct, it leads to Partial Chandra Grahan Dosh or Chandra ketu Grahan dosh. When only part of the moon is eclipsed, this signifies Partial Chandra Grahan Dosh. This dosh symptoms include restlessness, anxiety and lack of peace of mind.
