A Lunar eclipse is an inauspicious period in Hinduism, in which auspicious works are prohibited. Also, all kinds of travel are prohibited at this time, because its inauspicious effect can give negative results to the natives.
According to religious beliefs, there is a law to follow many rules in the houses from the beginning of the eclipse till its end. However, cooking food or looking at the sky is strictly prohibited.
Especially pregnant women should avoid doing makeup, going out, sleeping, and doing kitchen work; otherwise, it can affect the child’s health. This year, the second lunar eclipse of the year is going to take place on 7 September 2025.
The big thing is that it will be visible in India. Now, since it is going to have an effect on India, what will be its Sutak period? Let us know in detail.
Time of Lunar Eclipse
According to astrologers, 7 September 2025 is the second lunar eclipse of the year. This will be the full moon date of the Bhadrapada month of the Hindu calendar. Apart from this, this eclipse will occur on 7 September at 9:58 pm. It will end at 1:26 am late at night.
According to astronomers, this eclipse will be a total lunar eclipse, which will be visible in India. The lunar eclipse will take place in Aquarius and the Purva bhadrapada constellation, which can have a wide impact on the 12 zodiac signs. On the other hand, Pitru Paksha will also begin from this day. Now, since the shadow of the planet will remain in India, it will affect auspicious works like worship, bhajan-kirtan, and religious tours.
When will the Sutak period start?
According to astrologers, the Sutak period starts 9 hours before the lunar eclipse begins. In such a situation, the Sutak period will start at 12:59 pm on 7 September 2025. During this period, avoid doing things like shopping, going out in the open, and traveling.
Where will the lunar eclipse be visible?
It will be visible in India as well as in Asia, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and Africa, Western and North America and some parts of South America.
