This September will witness two major celestial events: a lunar eclipse today, followed by a solar eclipse on September 21st, 15 days later. This year's second and final solar eclipse coincides with the Pitru Paksha period, making it astrologically significant.
A solar eclipse is a natural phenomenon that occurs when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, blocking the Sun's light from reaching the Earth. As a result, the Sun appears to be completely or partially obscured in some parts of the world. In India, the eclipse is expected to begin around 11:00 AM IST and last until 3:23 PM IST on the Ashwin month.
Eclipses are considered important from environmental, astrological, and scientific perspectives. Astrologically, the alignment of planets during an eclipse is believed to bring both challenges and opportunities into daily life.
The solar eclipse will be visible in several regions, including Australia, Antarctica, Africa, the Indian Ocean, the South Pacific Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean, the Southern Ocean, Polynesia, Melanesia, parts of Asia, and New Zealand.
