Eclipses 2028: Dates, Signs and What Is Likely for You

In short: 2028 has 2 solar and 3 lunar eclipses: a partial lunar eclipse on 12 Jan 2028 in sidereal Gemini; a annular solar eclipse on 26 Jan 2028 in sidereal Capricorn; a partial lunar eclipse on 6 Jul 2028 in sidereal Sagittarius; a total solar eclipse on 22 Jul 2028 in sidereal Cancer; a total lunar eclipse on 31 Dec 2028 in sidereal Gemini. In Jyotish an eclipse (grahana) happens when the Sun and Moon meet near Rahu or Ketu. Both traditions read eclipses as turning points in the area of life where they fall in your chart — a time to close one chapter and prepare the next, never something to fear.

Traditional observances

Many families avoid starting new ventures on eclipse days, and some observe a fast or recite prayers during the eclipse. These are matters of custom; none is required, and no remedy needs to be bought.

How to read this for yourself

• By Moon sign: find your Moon sign (your free kundli shows it on the first line) and read its row. This is the classical Vedic method.
• By ascendant: if you know your rising sign, read the table again for it; where both agree, expect the effect more clearly.
• With your dasha: a transit delivers most when your running period is connected to the same planet or house. Your kundli’s “Your next 12 months” combines both.

Transits describe seasons, not certainties. A “needs care” row asks for patience and planning, never fear; no remedy needs to be bought.
