Chandra Grahan September 2025: On September 7–8, 2025, a total lunar eclipse will be visible in India. During this event, Earth will pass directly between the Sun and Moon, casting a shadow on the Moon's surface. When the eclipse is at its fullest, the Moon will likely appear red giving it an appearance of a Blood Moon. This happens because Earth's atmosphere bends and scatters sunlight onto the Moon. Astrologers consider such eclipses to be very significant as these events can heighten emotions and energies, making this Chandra Grahan a time of great spiritual and energetic force.
