Partial Lunar eclipse (Chandra grahan) on 25th April.



Partial Lunar eclipse (Chandra grahan) on 25th April night.
The eclipse will be visible in the region covering Australia, Asia (except N-E), Africa, Europe and Antarctica.  Eclipse will be visible in India and begins at 25hrs 22m (this would mean early hrs of 26th April) and total duration 0hrs 31m.
Astrologically, all eclipses are significant, and may affect you in some way in coming three months that is from 25th April through July, however according to Hindu beliefs, unless eclipse is visible to the naked eye, it is of no significance and Hindus don't consider it for any religious activities. 

On lunar eclipse day there is “full moon”. The full moon, as social research indicates, affects environment and also reflects on the mood and mind of a person. The high tides in the ocean and mood changes may occur in every full moon and that is the reason why in India mythology it is advised to control the mind by observing fast either on ekadashi ( 3 days before full moon) or on the day of full moon. 

Sutak – (nine hours period before the lunar eclipse starts)  is considered to be inauspicious time before Chandra Grahan and is known as Sutak. The ‘sutak’ is observed in Indian mythology as a period of physical and mental fast so as to avoid the effect of eclipse on the mind. During this period, if possible, do pranayama (breathing exercises) and/or meditation.

As per Vedic astrology, lunar Eclipse occurs on April 25, 2013 at 25hrs 22 m of Libra sign (opposite sign Sun will be in Aries), affecting mainly Librans and Aries born most significantly but for every Sun sign where an eclipse falls in your horoscope chart it will affect.
