The final solar eclipse of 2025 falls on Sept 21, visible in parts of the Southern Hemisphere but not in India.
Negativity is believed to rise during an eclipse, affecting people’s mood, mental state, and overall well-being.
The second and final solar eclipse of 2025 will occur on September 21. This partial solar eclipse is an important astronomical event for sky-watchers and astrology enthusiasts alike. However, it will not be visible in India, so it will have no direct effect here.
According to NASA, the eclipse will be visible in parts of Australia, New Zealand, Antarctica, the South Pacific Ocean, and the Atlantic Ocean.
Will It Be Visible in India?
During the eclipse the Moon will pass between the Earth and the Sun. Since the eclipse will begin at 10:59 PM on September 21 (IST), peak at 1:13 AM (Moon covers about 85% of the Sun) on September 22 and end at 3:23 AM, it will not be visible in India.
The eclipse coincides with the last day of Pitru Paksha, a time dedicated to honouring ancestors. Even though it won’t be visible in India, it carries cultural and spiritual interest for many.
Since the eclipse won’t be visible in India, the sutak period (ritual restrictions observed during eclipses) does not apply. This means the Pitru Paksha rituals like tarpan, pind daan, and prayers for ancestors can continue without interruption.
Astrologers, however, advise pregnant women to stay cautious about sun exposure, though this is more a general guideline than a necessity since the eclipse will not be seen in India.
Astrological Impact
The eclipse will occur in the Virgo zodiac sign under the Uttara Phalguni nakshatra. Astrologers believe it may affect certain signs, especially Aries and Aquarius, who could face challenges in career, health, or relationships.
To reduce negative effects, priests recommend chanting the Mahamrityunjaya Mantra or the Surya Mantra: “Om Adityaya Vidmahe Divakaraya Dhimahi Tanno Surya Prachodayat.”
How to Watch Safely
In regions where it is visible, people are advised not to look directly at the Sun. Instead, use protective eclipse glasses or pinhole projectors. NASA and other observatories will also livestream the event, allowing people in India to watch it online.
