The wait is finally over! The last lunar eclipse of 2025 is set to take place on Sunday, 7 September, and it’s grabbing everyone’s attention. Not just because it’s an astronomical event, but because astrologers believe it holds great significance for human life, nature, and even global politics. Visible across India, this eclipse is expected to influence energies and events both at home and abroad. Here’s everything you need to know, timing, Sutak period, where it’s visible, and how it may impact you.
When Will the Lunar Eclipse Happen in India?
The lunar eclipse will begin at 9:58 PM IST on 7 September 2025 and will end at 1:26 AM IST on 8 September 2025. The peak of the eclipse will occur at 11:42 PM, when the moon will be completely covered in shadow. The total duration will be around 3 hours and 28 minutes, giving ample time for stargazers and believers to experience this rare celestial event.
Though the moon will start to show a partial shadow from 8:59 PM, known as the penumbra phase, the Sutak period, which holds more importance in religious traditions, will start 9 hours before the main eclipse, at 12:57 PM on 7 September.
Where Can You Watch the Eclipse?
The eclipse will be clearly visible across India, including major cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, and Bengaluru. Besides India, it will also be seen in Europe, Asia, Australia, New Zealand, parts of America, Fiji, and Antarctica.
Which Zodiac Signs Are Affected?
This lunar eclipse will occur in Aquarius (Saturn’s sign) and Purvabhadrapada (Jupiter’s constellation). A rare planetary alignment is taking place where the Sun, Saturn, and Jupiter are all coming together. The eclipse is influenced by Rahu’s nakshatra Shatabhisha, and will end in Guru’s nakshatra Purvabhadrapada.
Astrologers believe that this eclipse, happening on a Sunday, the day of the Sun God, along with influences from Mars and Ketu, holds deeper spiritual implications. The combination of these energies is expected to create shifts in emotions, relationships, and decisions.
How Will the Lunar Eclipse Affect India?
Astrologers suggest that the September 7 eclipse may influence politics, governance, and societal balance in India. Natural calamities like floods, heavy rains, and landslides could increase, especially in hilly regions.
The lunar eclipse happening during Pitru Paksha, a time dedicated to ancestors, is considered especially potent. It is believed that this cosmic event may affect people’s mental peace, financial stability, and overall health for three months before and after the eclipse.
What to Avoid During Sutak?
According to scriptures, the Sutak period begins 9 hours before the eclipse and is considered a time when negative energies are heightened. People are advised to:
- Avoid eating or cooking food during this period.
- Refrain from doing any harmful work.
- Avoid travelling or engaging in unnecessary activities.
- Stay away from gossip and heated arguments.
Instead, one should focus on spiritual practices like meditation, chanting mantras, and reading scriptures.
What You Should Do During the Eclipse?
Even amidst restrictions, this is a time to perform spiritual activities and earn blessings. Here’s what you can do:
- Chant mantras – Especially those dedicated to Shiva, Vishnu, or other deities. The effects are believed to multiply during the eclipse.
- Take a holy bath after the eclipse ends, preferably in pure water or at a sacred site.
- Donate – Offer food to the needy, clothes to priests, or money to temples. Even feeding birds or cows is considered highly beneficial.
- Place Tulsi leaves in leftover food to purify it.
The Chandra Grahan 2025 is more than just a spectacle in the sky; it’s a blend of science and spirituality. Whether you’re an astronomy enthusiast or someone seeking blessings, this event offers a rare chance to witness cosmic beauty and align your energies with ancient traditions.
Prepare, stay mindful, and make the most of this celestial moment. Mark your calendar for 7 September 2025, and don’t miss this unique lunar experience!
