Raksha Bandhan 2027 Is the Shravana Full Moon

Raksha Bandhan 2027 is Tuesday 17 August, Shravana Purnima. Some almanacs also mark Surya entering sidereal Simha that afternoon. The thread is tied because the moon is full, not because the Sun changes sign.

On 2 August there is a total solar eclipse, partial in the far northwest of India, with Surya in Karka, Pushya nakshatra. Fifteen days later is not “the eclipse’s festival.” Sutak, where a family keeps it, belongs to an eclipse that is seen. Rakhi is a purnima between people. Do not cancel a brother because August also contained a grahan.

A thread is not a joint account

The day wants a thread, a sweet, and a promise you can keep. By mid-August Shani is in Mesha, so a Mesha Moon is in the middle of Sade Sati and a Vrishabha Moon has entered the rising phase. The thread does not pause that. If money is the real talk with your sibling, have it later, with the figure written down. The eclipse note is 2 August 2027. Phases are on Sade Sati.

Questions people keep asking

When is Raksha Bandhan in 2027?

Tuesday 17 August. A panchang that takes the purnima on the previous sunrise can print the 16th.

Does the eclipse spoil the rakhi?

No. They are different days. Keep the full moon for the thread.
