Wed Sep 18 04:38:58 UTC 2024: ## Second Lunar Eclipse of 2024 Ends, Impacting Parts of the World
The second lunar eclipse of 2024, which was also the final lunar eclipse of the year, concluded on September 18th, 2024. This penumbral lunar eclipse, visible in parts of South America, Western Africa, Western Europe, the Indian Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, and Antarctica, was not visible from India.
The eclipse reached its peak at 8:14 AM IST on September 18th and concluded at 10:17 AM IST, lasting for about 5 hours and 4 minutes. While the eclipse was visible in several parts of the world, India did not experience it, hence the 9-hour-long ‘Sutrakaal’ period, associated with eclipses, was not applicable in the country.
The eclipse, occurring in the Meena Rashi and Purvabhadra Pada Nakshatra, has been interpreted by astrologers as potentially influencing various aspects of life. According to their calculations, the alignment of planets, including Sun, Venus, Rahu, Moon, Mars, and Ketu in Meena and Kanya Rashi, alongside Jupiter’s influence, could signal a potential for natural disasters, conflicts, and financial uncertainties.
The eclipse is also believed to have an impact on different zodiac signs, leading to possible challenges in relationships, health, careers, and overall well-being.
While the eclipse may have passed, its potential impact on the world remains a subject of ongoing discussion and analysis.
