Eclipse & retrograde calendar
Eclipses are the most potent planetary events in classical jyotish. Retrogrades — when a planet appears to move backwards from Earth's perspective — are periods of review and reconsideration. Plan major decisions around them.

How to use this calendar
Eclipses are best avoided for major launches, weddings, and contracts (3 days before to 3 days after). Use them for inner work — retreats, journaling, releasing patterns. During retrogrades, expect delays in that planet's domain — and use the time for review rather than launch.
