Chandra Grahan 2022: Impact of lunar eclipse on your life based on your zodiac sign

In May, the world will witness the first lunar eclipse of this year. Lunar eclipse, known as Chandra Grahan in Hindi, is a special astronomical phenomenon that occurs when the Sun, Earth, and the Moon are closely aligned in a straight line with the Earth fully or partially covering the Moon. On May 16, the day of the full Moon, the Moon will come under the shadow of the Earth and will appear blood red.

According to Hindu Calendar, the lunar eclipse or Chandra Grahan falls on the Purnima Tithi of the Vaishaka month. This lunar eclipse will occur in Scorpio sign and Visakha nakshatra during the Purnima Tithi of Shukla Paksha. The fact that Buddha Purnima falls on the same day as the eclipse adds to the significance of the event.

The first lunar eclipse of the year took place at 7:02 am IST on the morning of May 16 and ended at 12:20 in the afternoon. However, this eclipse could not be viewed from the Indian subcontinent. Therefore, no sutak period prevailed on this day.
