The first solar eclipse (Surya Grahan) of 2025 occurs today, Saturday, March 29, aligning with Chaitra Amavasya and the rare conjunction of Shani Amavasya. Adding to its astrological significance, Saturn (Shani) is also transiting into Pisces on this very day—a transition that happens only once every 2.5 years.
Astrologers believe this celestial event could have a powerful impact on various zodiac signs and is spiritually and energetically significant.

Arctic regions
Sutak Period: Not Applicable in India
In Hindu beliefs, the Sutak period—a time during which spiritual and religious activities are avoided—begins 12 hours prior to the start of a solar eclipse. However, because this solar eclipse will not be visible in India, the Sutak period is not considered valid, and daily activities and worship can proceed as normal.
Astrological Insights and Remedies
Although the eclipse will not be seen in India, astrological effects are still considered relevant. Individuals under certain zodiac signs may experience disruptions or emotional shifts due to the eclipse and the Saturn transit.
Recommended Remedy: People affected astrologically are advised to perform charity (daan) after the eclipse concludes.
