Lunar Eclipse 2025: Lunar eclipse is an astronomical event that has attracted and affected mankind for centuries. When the Earth comes between the Sun and the Moon and puts its shadow on the moon, the lunar eclipse occurs. This is a moment when the color of the moon becomes red or copper, which is also called blood moon. However, this is not just a scientific event, but it has deep importance in many cultures and astrology.
Scientific approach: How does this happen?
According to science, there are three types of lunar eclipses:
Total lunar eclipse: When the entire shadow of the Earth covers the moon. During this time the moon appears dark red because some light of the sun reaches it by filtering from the atmosphere of the Earth.
Partial lunar eclipse: When only part of the Earth’s shadow falls on the moon. During this time a part of the moon appears black.
Penumbral lunar eclipse: When the moon passes through the light shade of the Earth. This type of eclipse is difficult to identify because there is a slight decrease in the brightness of the moon.
This eclipse is a great opportunity for scientists to understand the movements of the universe.
Astrological and religious beliefs
Eclipse from Rahu: Lunar eclipse is considered an important event in astrology. It is often associated with the influence of Rahu and Ketu, which according to mythology attempts to “swallow” the Sun and Moon. However, whenever the moon or the sun comes under the influence of Rahu, then the eclipse occurs. Rahu is considered as shadow planet. This shadow of all the planets, including the shadow of the Earth and the Moon, is considered to be Rahu. The influence of the shadow planet is deep.
Sutak period: A sutak period begins before the eclipse begins, which is considered inauspicious. In this time, worship, food cooking and auspicious works are forbidden. The sutak period of solar eclipse starts 12 hours before and the lunar eclipse starts 9 hours before the eclipse and lasts till the end of the eclipse.
Negative effects of grocer: Some astrologers believe that negative energy increases during eclipse. It also affects the person’s zodiac and horoscope, which can cause mental stress, health problems or money loss.
Remedy and precautions: To avoid these negative effects, there are many remedies in astrology:
1. Chanting mantras during the eclipse.
2. Spraying Ganga water after bathing after the eclipse.
3. To make charity, especially white items (eg rice, milk).
4. Pregnant women are advised not to get out during the eclipse.
Lunar Eclipse: Fear or curiosity?
There have been both fear and curiosity among the people about lunar eclipse for centuries. Some people consider it a wonderful performance of nature, while some others indicate it to the upcoming disasters. However, both approaches are correct in their place. It depends on you from what perspective you see- as an astronomical event or as an astrological effect.
