Chandra Grahan 2025: 4 Zodiac signs that will see major shift during lunar eclipse

At exactly 11:00 PM tonight, the moon will turn blood red above India. This total lunar eclipse marks the first time in seven years that the entire country can witness this rare event. The timing is perfect as it's weekend night, clear September skies, and no special equipment needed.

This isn't just any eclipse. The red phase lasts 82 minutes, giving families plenty of time to gather outside and watch. This event will be coinciding with Pitru Paksha, which will make it spiritually significant for millions. From our very own Kashmir to Kanyakumari, over 1.4 billion people will see the same red moon tonight.


The moon turns deep red around 11 PM. This happens when Earth blocks sunlight from reaching the moon directly. Our planet's atmosphere bends light around the edges of it which makes it red. It's just like as if the moon is seeing every sunrise and sunset on Earth at once.

The moon will only be red for 82 minutes. That's enough time to call your kids outside. Enough time to make tea and watch from your balcony. Enough time to remember why humans have always looked up at the sky with wonder.


Astrologers say that the Blood Moon carries extra power because it happens during Pitru Paksha. These four zodiac signs may feel the strongest effects in the lunar eclipse of 2025: Aries, Leo, Aquarius, and Scorpio.

Aries may find some relief during this eclipse especially those people who are going through tough Saturn periods. Work opportunities could appear suddenly. New job offers or business deals might come your way. Money matters look brighter after months of struggle. However, pay attention to your body during this time. Your health may get affected.

Aquarians may face some intense emotional roller coaster during this eclipse. Old family issues could surface during Pitru Paksha. The key is balancing personal goals with family duties. Meditation or helping others brings clarity. Your dreams connect to blessings from ancestors.

Leos might question their usual confidence tonight. The eclipse challenges pride and ego in positive ways. Family traditions become more important. This is a good time to thank people who helped you succeed. Also acting kind towards your relatives can heal old problems without you knowing.
Scorpios will be feeling the pressure of family or career growth. Past conflicts might return during this time. The eclipse tests your ability to honor traditions while staying true to yourself. Avoiding anger or stubbornness helps you grow. Balance opens new opportunities.

The best part is that You don't need any sort of special glasses. Unlike the solar eclipses that can damage your eyes, lunar eclipses are safe to watch. You have to step outside and look up for the moon.

This eclipse kicks off Pitru Paksha, the 15-day period when Hindu families honor those who came before them. Starting September 7, families across India will perform rituals for ancestors. The eclipse beginning this sacred time feels significant to many.

For many, the eclipse happening at this time carries special meaning.


Across homes and temples, traditions vary:

• Some observe Sutak, avoiding cooking and eating hours before the eclipse.
• Ritual baths are taken after the event as a form of cleansing.
  
• Special prayers take place in temples.

The eclipse science is straightforward. Earth casts a shadow. The moon moves through it. Red light bends around our planet's edge and reaches the moon. On the human side, eclipses have always meant more than science. Ancient texts linked them with change. Modern families see them as moments to connect and pause from daily life.
For some, it will hold deep spiritual value. For others, it’s simply a reminder of the beauty above us. Either way, the red moon will shine over millions tonight.

Tonight's eclipse happens during a weekend. Perfect timing for staying up a bit late. Perfect for gathering family. Perfect for stepping away from screens and looking up.
The moon doesn't care if you watch. But something in us needs these moments of awe. Tonight provides one. Set your alarm for 10:50 PM. Step outside. Look up. The universe is putting on a show just for you.
