The year 2025 is marked by a rare and spiritually intense celestial event — a khagras chandra grahan (total lunar eclipse) on 7 september 2025, which falls on bhadrapada shukla paksha purnima, sunday night. Unlike a partial eclipse, this one is a complete lunar eclipse (khagras), when the moon gets entirely covered by the earth’s shadow, amplifying its astrological significance.

This eclipse will occur in kumbh rashi (aquarius) and within the shatbhisha nakshatra, making it especially important for natives of this sign and constellation. In Vedic astrology, a total lunar eclipse is believed to exert a profound impact on human emotions, mental state, and worldly affairs.. This one in particular signals a strong need for spiritual discipline, career redirection, and emotional clarity.

Let us explore the significance of Khagras Chandra Grahan 2025 in depth.
