   Grahana (Eclipse) dosham is for the Prathama-upakarma (Thalai 
Avani Avittam) only because of Veda-arambam(initiation for learning 
vedas)and does not affect others observing 2nd, 3rd etc. upakarmas. 
However food consumption will be dictated by the grahanam. Before 
Rishi Tharpanam and homam (which may well go into late afternoon for 
some of us)no food (not even idli) should be consumed anyway. Those 
Yajur vedis in USA who use panchangam as is (without time-shift) can 
observe upakarma on Tuesday. If it is the first one do shanthi (it 
could be a simple hiranya danam - donating money to a nearby temple 
priest) before starting upakarma.
