On Friday, March 14, 2025, the celestial stage will be set for a significant total lunar eclipse, a cosmic event that will cast its shadow across a vast expanse of the globe. This eclipse, occurring during the full moon of the Phalguna month (Shukla Paksha) in the Hindu calendar, is not just a visual spectacle; it carries profound astrological implications, particularly for those born under the Leo sign and Uttara Phalguni nakshatra.
The eclipse will begin at 10:41 AM and conclude at 2:18 PM Indian Standard Time (IST), making it a daytime event for India. However, its visibility will be widespread, spanning across Australia, much of Europe and Africa, North and South America, the Pacific, Atlantic, and Arctic Oceans, Eastern Asia, and Antarctica. This extensive reach underscores the potential for global influences associated with this eclipse.
What makes this lunar eclipse particularly noteworthy is its astrological configuration. It’s important to remember that astrological interpretations of eclipses can vary, and these are general tendencies. However, here’s a breakdown of how the March 2025 total lunar eclipse, occurring in Leo and Uttara Phalguni, could potentially affect each of the 12 zodiac signs:
