Solar eclipse is one of the most fascinating celestial events when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, casting a shadow that partially or completely blocks sunlight in certain areas of the Earth.
In 2025, the second and final solar eclipse of the year will be witness on September. Although this eclipse will be partial and not visible from India, it holds religious and astrological significance due to its alignment with important dates in the Hindu calendar.
The second and final solar eclipse of 2025 will take place on September 21. This will be a partial solar eclipse beginning at 10:59 PM IST on September 21, and ending at 3:23 AM IST on September 22, coinciding with the Amavasya (New Moon) of the Ashwin month in the Hindu calendar.
This solar eclipse falls on the same day as Sarva Pitru Amavasya, a day dedicated to ancestral offerings (Shraddha and Tarpan) in Hindu tradition. Typically, religious practices are avoided during eclipses. However, since this eclipse will not be visible in India, all spiritual rituals including Shraddha and Pitra Puja can continue without interruption.
The solar eclipse on September 21 will occur in Virgo (Kanya Rashi) and Purva Phalguni Nakshatra. In Vedic astrology, solar eclipses are believed to have a profound impact on human life and zodiac signs. They are associated with Rahu and Ketu, the shadow planets, which form eclipses when aligned with the Sun. This conjunction is believed to bring negativity and disturbances in life.
According to Hindu beliefs, eclipses are generally considered inauspicious. During this period, temples are closed, food is considered contaminated, and religious activities are suspended. Mental chanting and prayers are recommended during the eclipse to avoid negative effects
