The second and final solar eclipse of 2025 is set to occur on the night of September 21, 2025. This partial solar eclipse will take place under special astronomical circumstances, with the most significant aspect being that it coincides with Sarva Pitru Amavasya, the final day of Pitru Paksha (ancestral fortnight).

In Vedic astrology, solar eclipses hold tremendous importance. They represent more than mere astronomical events – they are considered periods of spiritual and karmic transformation. When the Moon positions itself between the Sun and Earth, partially blocking solar radiation, it creates profound effects not only on natural phenomena but also on human consciousness.

Understanding the 2025 Solar Eclipse: Timing, Duration, and Complete Information

Characteristics of Partial Solar Eclipse

During a partial solar eclipse, the Moon is positioned at such a distance from Earth that it cannot completely obstruct the Sun’s light. In this configuration, only a portion of the Sun falls under the Moon’s shadow, resulting in a partial solar eclipse.

Detailed Overview of Solar Eclipse 2025

Timing and Duration: This partial solar eclipse will commence at 10:59 PM IST on September 21, 2025, and conclude at 3:23 AM IST on September 22, 2025. The eclipse will last approximately 4 hours and 24 minutes.

Astrological Position: The eclipse will occur in Virgo zodiac sign and Uttara Phalguni constellation. Virgo is ruled by Mercury, while Uttara Phalguni is the Sun’s own constellation. This combination is particularly significant as the Sun will be eclipsed in its own star constellation.

Visibility Area: This solar eclipse will be primarily visible in New Zealand, Fiji, Antarctica, and southern regions of Australia. It will not be visible anywhere in India, therefore the Sutak period will not be applicable in India. However, the astrological effects will be uniform across all locations.

The solar eclipse occurs on September 21, the final day of Pitru Paksha known as Sarva Pitru Amavasya. This conjunction occurs after many years and holds special spiritual significance.
