The eclipse’s long duration (over 3 hours) suggests prolonged effects.
On the 14th of March, a total lunar eclipse will be visible in North and South America. This eclipse will not be visible in India, but since the eclipse is of a long duration and is visible in a large part of the global superpower USA, its economic impact may be felt worldwide as per Rooted in Vedic texts and cosmic symbolism. The lunar eclipse will fall in the Leo sign in Uttara Phalguni Nakshatra. As per Brihat Samhita’s ‘Rahu Chaar Adhyay’, if the eclipse falls in Leo, then it gives troubles to the royal people and those who live in forests. In Bhavishya Phala Bhaskar’s ‘Grahan Prakran’, it is also mentioned that an eclipse in Leo gives troubles to people who live in forests and it causes a fall of the kings. The eclipse falls in Uttara Phalguni, which as per Koorma Chakra indicates the South direction.
The Eclipse in Leo: A Royal Reckoning
The Moon, eclipsed in the regal sign of Leo (ruled by the Sun), activates ancient warnings from the Brihat Samhita and Bhavishya Phala Bhaskar. These texts caution that eclipses in Leo bring trials for “royal figures”—modern kings (CEOs, political leaders, elites)—and those connected to forests (environmentalists, indigenous communities, or literal ecosystems).
- Leadership Under Fire: Expect heightened scrutiny of authority figures. Political scandals, corporate shake-ups, or symbolic “falls from grace” could dominate headlines, especially in the U.S., where the eclipse is most visible.
- Environmental Echoes: Wildfires, deforestation debates, or climate policies may surge into focus. The eclipse could catalyze conflicts between industrial growth and ecological preservation.
- Uttara Phalguni Nakshatra: Partnerships and the Southern Axis
- Falling in Uttara Phalguni, a nakshatra ruled by Aryaman (the deity of alliances and patronage), the eclipse highlights collaborations, marriages, and social contracts. However, Koorma Chakra links this nakshatra to the South direction, hinting at geopolitical tensions or natural events in southern regions:
- Southern Hemisphere Spotlight: Watch for developments in South America, Africa, or Southeast Asia. Diplomatic alliances or resource disputes (e.g., oil, minerals) may escalate.
- Societal Shifts: Social justice movements or labor unions could gain momentum, challenging existing power structures.
The USA’s Eclipse: Economic Ripples
As the eclipse graces U.S. skies, its astrological impact may reverberate through the nation’s economy, influencing global markets:
- Stock Market Symbolism: Lunar eclipses often correlate with volatile sentiment. Leo’s link to luxury sectors (gold, tech, entertainment) might see turbulence.
- Debt and Power: With Leo governing “royal treasuries,” debates over national debt, taxation, or corporate monopolies could intensify.
Chart 1. Total Lunar Eclipse
- Sagittarius Rising (Lagna): The chart starts with Sagittarius. Jupiter rules it but sits in the 6th house (problems, health, enemies). Leaders face stress or get stuck in conflicts.

- Property disputes or housing-market volatility.

- Public distrust in institutions (4th = homeland governance).
- Misinformation, tech failures, or diplomatic missteps worsen tensions.

The Eclipse’s Cosmic Ultimatum
Donald Trump’s Leo ascendant (ruled by the Sun) governs his public persona, ego, and leadership style. The March 2025 lunar eclipse directly activates his first house (self, body, reputation), which could lead to upheaval in people’s perception of him and a decline in popularity. The eclipse acts as a karmic reset, forcing accountability for past actions.
Public Trust Erodes: Combust Saturn + Mars-Ketu clash = grassroots frustration over unfulfilled promises or self-serving actions
