The second solar eclipse of 2026 will occur on August 12. Starting at 9:04 PM IST and ending at 1:27 AM on August 13, this total solar eclipse will take place in Cancer. While it won't be visible in India (hence no Sutak period), it will be seen in Greenland, Iceland, Spain, and Russia. Astronomically, a rare conjunction of Sun, Moon, and Jupiter will occur. Astrologers advise Cancerians to avoid major financial decisions for 30 days post-eclipse. The event will feature a 'Ring of Fire' effect where the Sun's corona remains visible around the Moon. https://www.aajtak.in/religion/news/story/surya-grahan-2026-kab-lgega-date-time-india-visibility-kark-rashi-sutak-kaal-niyam-tvisg-dskc-2619139-2026-08-11
