In the domain of astrology, eclipses are regarded with immense significance, often considered as pivotal celestial occurrences. They carry symbolic and astrological implications, believed to influence various aspects of life on Earth. In the upcoming year of 2024, akin to the preceding year of 2023, the celestial calendar is marked by four eclipses, each holding its own unique astrological and astronomical significance.
Among the quartet of eclipses set to grace the skies in 2024, the initial lunar eclipse is scheduled to grace the celestial canvas on March 25. Following this lunar spectacle, the celestial stage is set for the grand entrance of the first solar eclipse of the year, which is slated for April 8.
However, what renders these astronomical events particularly intriguing is the fact that none of the four slated eclipses will be observable from the vantage point of India. Consequently, the period of Sutak, an auspicious time frame associated with certain eclipses in Hindu belief systems, will hold no sway over the populace of the Indian subcontinent during these events.
The impending solar eclipse on April 8 promises to be a captivating event, albeit one that will elude the eyes of those situated in India. According to the Panchang, the solar eclipse will unfold against the backdrop of the Pisces zodiac sign, commencing at 9:12 PM on April 8 and extending its cosmic dance until 2:22 AM on April 9. This celestial spectacle will span a total duration of 4 hours and 25 minutes. Despite its status as a total solar eclipse, its visibility will be limited to regions far beyond the borders of India.
The celestial theater of the solar eclipse will unfold across the vast expanse of the South Pacific Ocean, gracing the skies above North America, Mexico, the United States, and Canada with its awe-inspiring presence. Additionally, select pockets of Costa Rica, Aruba, Dominica, and Jamaica may also bear witness to this celestial extravaganza, albeit from afar.
As the celestial ballet of 2024 unfolds, it is imperative to mark the dates of the forthcoming eclipses:
First lunar eclipse – March 25, 2024 Second lunar eclipse – September 18, 2024 First solar eclipse – April 8, 2024 Second solar eclipse – October 2, 2024
As enthusiasts and astrologers alike eagerly anticipate the cosmic choreography set to unfold, the heavens beckon with a tapestry of celestial wonders, inviting humanity to partake in the timeless dance of the cosmos.
