A lunar eclipse is a spectacular and rare celestial event that occurs when the Earth comes between the Sun and the Moon, causing the Earth’s shadow to fall on the Moon. Here, we will discuss this striking celestial event from an astrological perspective but let us first understand what this phenomenon really is.

Lunar Eclipse & Its Types

1. Total Lunar Eclipse: This occurs when the entire Moon enters the Earth’s umbra (the central, darkest part of its shadow). During a total lunar eclipse, the Moon can take on a reddish color due to the scattering of sunlight through the Earth’s atmosphere, often referred to as a “Blood Moon.”
2. Partial Lunar Eclipse: In this type, only a part of the Moon enters the Earth’s umbra. As a result, only part of the Moon appears darkened.
3. Penumbral Lunar Eclipse: This is when the Moon passes through the Earth’s penumbra (the outer part of its shadow). The dimming of the Moon’s light is subtle and can be hard to observe.

When and How Does It Happen?

• Alignment: For a lunar eclipse to occur, the Sun, Earth, and Moon must be aligned in a straight line or very close to it. This alignment happens during a full moon.
• Frequency: Lunar eclipses occur at least twice a year, but total lunar eclipses are less common. The exact frequency depends on the specific orbital dynamics of the Earth and Moon.
• Duration: The total phase of a lunar eclipse can last from a few minutes to over an hour, while the entire event, including partial phases, can last several hours.

Lunar Eclipse and Its Significance

• Visibility: Unlike solar eclipses, lunar eclipses are safe to watch with the naked eye. They can be observed from anywhere on the nighttime side of the Earth.
• Cultural and Historical Significance: Lunar eclipses have held cultural and historical significance across various civilizations. They have been seen as omens or significant events in many cultures throughout history.
• Scientific Value: Lunar eclipses offer opportunities for scientists to study the Earth’s atmosphere and the behavior of light as it travels through it. They also provide a chance to observe the Moon’s surface under unusual lighting conditions.

Overall, lunar eclipses are both visually stunning and scientifically intriguing events that connect us with the broader universe.

Khandagras Lunar Eclipse 2024: Timing & Paksha

A khandagras lunar eclipse is a partial lunar eclipse that happens on the full moon. The Lunar Eclipse begins on Wednesday, September 18, 2024, at 07:43 am on the full moon day of Shukla Paksha of the Bhadrapada month and lasts until 08:46 am. This sort of lunar eclipse occurs in the Pisces and Purva Bhadrapada Nakshatra. 

During the eclipse, Rahu will be aligned with the Moon and Sun, while Venus and Ketu will be present from the seventh house. From the Moon, Jupiter will be in the third house, Mars in the fourth, Mercury in the sixth, and Retrograde Saturn in the twelfth. Therefore, the natives born under the zodiac sign of Pisces in Uttara Bhadrapada Nakshatra will benefit during this eclipse.

Hence, the eclipse won’t be visible here. However, the North West India and North Southern Cities may experience hazy moonlight at the beginning of Penumbra but nothing more than that.

Last Lunar Eclipse 2024: Sutak Period

As the lunar eclipse 2024 is not visible in India, therefore the Sutak period for this eclipse does not count. There will be no Sutak period. However, one must understand that during the Sutak time, one should abstain from all auspicious tasks and periods. There would be uncertainties regarding the auspicious results if any form of auspicious job is completed throughout the timetable without error.

According to astrological specifics, the Moon is called the factor of mind and mother, while the Sun is called the factor of soul and world. The time will be regarded as the crisis period and so designated as the unfavorable Sutak period since both of them are going to be eclipsed and the odds of success are nearly zero.
