Holi and Lunar Eclipse 2024: The celestial and spiritual significance of lunar eclipses is widely acknowledged whenever they occur, and they hold a special importance in astrology. This year, a total of 4 eclipses is expected, consisting of 2 lunar eclipses and 2 solar eclipses, with the first lunar eclipse being on March 25. During this time, the moon will be in the Virgo sign, where Rahu will already be positioned. Interestingly, this year Holi also falls on the same day.

According to Panchang, it will occur on the full moon day of the Shukla Paksha of Falgun month and will commence from 10:23 AM and last until 03:02 PM. However, this lunar eclipse will not be visible in India, making the associated inauspicious period irrelevant.

This lunar eclipse will be visible in parts of the United States, Japan, Russia, Ireland, England, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, South Norway, and Switzerland.
