First Lunar Eclipse of the Year – Impact on Zodiac Signs

The lunar eclipse, although a natural astronomical event, holds significant importance in astrology. According to astrology and Hindu religious texts, eclipses are influenced by shadow planets like Rahu and Ketu. During an eclipse, these shadow planets cause the Sun and Moon to be “devoured.” The year 2025 has already begun, and there will be two solar eclipses and two lunar eclipses this year. During an eclipse, religious and auspicious events are avoided, and temple doors are usually closed. Let’s find out when the first lunar eclipse of the year will occur and how it will affect different zodiac signs.

Date of the First Lunar Eclipse of 2025

The first lunar eclipse of 2025 will occur on March 14. March 14 also coincides with the full moon. The lunar eclipse will last for more than six hours. According to Indian Standard Time, the lunar eclipse will begin at 9:27 AM and end at 3:30 PM on March 14. The total duration of the eclipse will be 6 hours and 3 minutes. This will be a total lunar eclipse. Since this eclipse will not be visible in India, the Sutak period will not be observed.

How Does an Eclipse Occur?

An eclipse is a celestial event where the Earth, Moon, and Sun align in a straight line. During a lunar eclipse, the Moon comes into the Earth’s shadow, causing only the shadow of the Moon to be visible, making it difficult for people to see the Moon properly. This is called a lunar eclipse. According to scriptures, Rahu and Ketu are shadow planets who, after drinking the nectar from the churning of the ocean, became immortal. However, Lord Vishnu split them into two parts using his Sudarshan Chakra. These two planets, Rahu and Ketu, have an inherent enmity with the Sun and Moon, and they occasionally eclipse the Sun and Moon, leading to solar and lunar eclipses.

Where Will the First Lunar Eclipse 2025 Be Visible?
