March 25 is considered a special day. Sutak period starts 9 hours before the lunar eclipse. Although the lunar eclipse of March 25 will be a penumbral eclipse, which will not be visible in India, but there is a need to take special care of important things during the Sutak period. Holi falls every year on the full moon date of Phalgun month, whenever a lunar eclipse occurs. If so, that day also falls on the full moon date. In the year 2024, this rare coincidence is falling on 25 March. The time of lunar eclipse on this day will be from 10:24 am to 3:01 pm.
A penumbral lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes through the penumbra, the lighter, outer part of Earth’s shadow. It is also called penumbral lunar eclipse. The size of the Moon does not change in a penumbral lunar eclipse. During this period the moon appears just like normal days. Only the color of the moon appears light beige. It is very important to know that there are three types of lunar eclipses, first partial lunar eclipse, second total lunar eclipse and third penumbral eclipse. The eclipse that will occur in March 2024 will be a penumbral eclipse. Especially pregnant women should not go out of the house on the day of the eclipse. March 25 is an important day for Pisces people. On this day, there is a possibility of a conjunction of Sun, Mercury and Rahu in Pisces.
