What is the Significance of Bhadra and Lunar Eclipse on Holi?
Bhadra Dosha on Holika Dahan
In Hindu astrology, Bhadra is considered an inauspicious time for starting new ventures, performing rituals, or making important life decisions. It is believed that any work undertaken during Bhadra may face delays, obstacles, or undesirable outcomes. This year, Holika Dahan falls during the Bhadra period, which means extra caution is required while performing rituals and religious ceremonies.
Lunar Eclipse on Holi and Its Astrological Effects
A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth comes between the Sun and the Moon, casting a shadow on the Moon. While the lunar eclipse of March 14, 2025, will not be visible in India, its astrological influence will still be present. The combination of the Moon in Virgo and Ketu’s presence in the same sign can create emotional turbulence, stress, and uncertainty for certain zodiac signs.
