On the night of 7–8 September 2025, the skies will treat us to a total lunar eclipse—a magical celestial event also called the Blood Moon. For skywatchers, spiritual seekers, and astrology enthusiasts alike, this is a date to remember.
But what makes this eclipse so special? Let’s dive in.
🔭 What’s Happening? The Science of the Blood Moon
A lunar eclipse occurs when Earth comes directly between the Sun and the Moon, casting its shadow on the Moon. Instead of going completely dark, the Moon will turn deep red or coppery because sunlight bends and scatters through Earth’s atmosphere.
On 7 September, this total eclipse will last for about 82 minutes, giving us plenty of time to witness this rare cosmic spectacle.
⏰ When & Where to Watch
- Start of Eclipse (India): 8:58 PM IST
- Totality Begins: 11:00 PM IST
- Totality Ends: 12:22 AM IST (8 Sept)
The eclipse will be visible across India, Asia, Africa, Europe, and Australia. In India, cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Pune, Hyderabad, and Chandigarh will get a clear view.
👉 Unlike solar eclipses, lunar eclipses are safe to watch with the naked eye. All you need is an open sky—though a pair of binoculars or a telescope can make it even more breathtaking.
🪐 Astrological Significance
In Vedic astrology, eclipses are not just astronomical events—they are cosmic resets. The Moon represents our mind and emotions, and during an eclipse, these energies are often intensified.
This September’s eclipse occurs with the Moon in Aquarius, influenced by Saturn and Rahu. Expect heightened emotional energy, karmic shifts, and a push to confront hidden truths.
Zodiac signs like Cancer, Virgo, Libra, Aquarius, and Pisces may feel this eclipse more strongly.
