The lunar eclipse of 2026 will take place on Tuesday, 3 March 2026, coinciding with Magha Puja Day, the 15th lunar day of the 4th month, the day when 1,250 arahants gathered together spontaneously without prior arrangement.
The year 2026 is particularly special because the phenomenon of a lunar eclipse, also known as Rahu swallowing the moon or the blood moon, will occur on the same day.
Astrologer Rattanakosin stated that astrologically, the moon (2) will be in the sign of Leo, aligning and forming yogas with seven planets: Rahu (8), the Sun (1), Mars (3), Mercury (4), Venus (6), Ketu (9), and Jupiter's yoga (5).
Such a dense celestial alignment is like having both allies and enemies together, leading to intense energy clashes.
Ancient astrologers therefore warned: Avoid going out to bathe in the blood moonlight—it is not a light of fortune but a clashing energy. If your mind is not strong enough, it may cause confusion and unknowingly absorb this disruptive energy.
Reciting the reverse Itipiso mantra, reversing the Buddha's virtues from back to front, is a powerful Jindamani spell with strong energy that can transform misfortune into good fortune, fix broken destiny, or counteract black magic. This mantra is highly potent in dispelling evil, malevolent spirits, and ensuring safety.
“Ti Wa Ka Pa Tho Phut Nang Sa Nu Sa Ma Wa The Tha Sat Thi Ra Sa Ma Tam Sa Ri Pu Ro Ta Nu A Tu Wi Ka Lo To Ka Su No Pan Sam Na Ra Ja Cha Wi Cho Tho Phut Sam Ma Sam Hang Ra Wa Ka Pa So Pi Ti I”
For those who must be outdoors between 15:44 and 21:23, it is advised to recite the abbreviated mantra.
"A Wa Ka Pa So Pi Ti I" is a great protective chant ensuring safety and security.
