What is a Lunar Eclipse?

A lunar eclipse is an astronomical event where the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, causing the Earth’s shadow to fall on the Moon and dim or completely darken its appearance. This alignment occurs during a full moon and can result in total, partial, or penumbral eclipses. In astrology, a lunar eclipse represents a powerful Sun–Moon opposition aligned with the lunar nodes (Rahu and Ketu), often associated with emotional revelations, culminations, and the closing of important life cycles. In astrology, a solar eclipse represents a powerful Sun–Moon conjunction aligned with the lunar nodes (Rahu and Ketu), often linked to major shifts, new beginnings, and transformative life events.
