The first astronomical view of Chandra Grahan 2025 will take place today, March 14, 2025. This eclipse will start at 9:29 am and end at 3:29 pm. This eclipse will last for a total of 6 hours. However, this lunar eclipse will not be visible in India, as it is occurring during the day. For this reason, Sutak Kaal will also not be valid in India and people across the country will be able to celebrate Holi festival without any hindrance.
Lunar eclipse and Sutak period in India
The Sutak period of lunar eclipse is effective only when the eclipse is directly visible in India. But this time the lunar eclipse will happen during the day and will be invisible in India. Therefore, this eclipse will not have any special effect from a religious point of view. Due to the absence of Sutak Kaal, people can do all their religious work normally and enjoy the festival of Holi.
In which countries will the lunar eclipse be visible?
However, this eclipse will not be visible in India, but it will be visible in parts of North and South America, Europe, Australia and Africa. According to scientists, this will be a Penumbral Lunar Eclipse, in which only a light shadow will be seen on the moon, making it difficult to see it.
What is the specialty of this lunar eclipse?
This time the lunar eclipse is special in many ways. During the eclipse, the moon will appear red, which is called Blood Moon. Apart from this, the Sun and Saturn will have a special position at the time of the eclipse, which increases its astronomical and astrological significance. This eclipse will occur in Leo and Uttara Phalguni Nakshatra, which can have some special effects from the astrological point of view.
Effect of lunar eclipse on Holi
Since this eclipse will be invisible in India, it will not have any effect on the auspicious works of Holi. According to religious beliefs, when the eclipse is not visible in India, then neither any special rules apply nor there is any kind of religious prohibition. For this reason, all auspicious works and worship of Holi can be done normally.
What to do and what not to do during eclipse?
Although this eclipse will not be visible in India, it is advisable to take some general precautions during the eclipse:
- Take a bath in the morning and sprinkle Gangajal in the house.
- Meditate on God and chant mantras during the eclipse.
- Avoid cooking and eating food during the eclipse.
- Pregnant women are advised to take special precautions.
Global effect of eclipse
From an astrological point of view, this eclipse can affect natural disasters and global conditions. According to the position of the planets:
- Political and economic instability can be seen around the world.
- Trade relations between India and Western countries may be affected.
- Border tensions are expected to increase in some countries.
Importance of lunar eclipse and astrology
According to astrology, the position of the Moon is considered to be the most important among the planets. It not only affects human life, mind and emotions, but it also has a direct impact on the earth. The effect of the moon is also considered important from a scientific point of view because it controls the gravitational force of the earth and the water element. That is why every small and big astronomical event has an effect on the earth and human life.
Conclusion
This first eclipse of Lunar Eclipse 2025 is important both from astrological and scientific point of view. However, it will not be visible in India, so it will not have any effect religiously and neither will the Sutak period be valid. For this reason, the festival of Holi can be celebrated with full devotion and gaiety. At the same time, this eclipse can also indicate many big changes in terms of astrology.
