Author: Arshiya Zahid

The day of July 27 is going to be interesting as the moon will turn red.

It’s going to be the longest lunar eclipse of the century and this lunar eclipse will occur on a full moon. This rare lunar eclipse will last for one hour, 42 minutes and 55 seconds, though the partial eclipse will remain on the moon for 4 hours. In Pakistan, it will appear around 10:15 pm.

It will start on Friday night as the moon rises. Unlike a solar eclipse no special equipment or glasses will be needed to view a total lunar eclipse, although a cloud free weather will be needed. Blood moon can be fully witnessed in the areas of eastern Africa, central Asia, and the Middle East. North America will be unable to see that glam.

Lunar Eclipse

Earth will pass between the sun and the moon on Friday. This will cast a shadow on the surface of moon as the earth will cause a lunar eclipse. But still, some light will reach to the moon and earth will act as a lens which deflects the reddish orange light on the moon.

This lunar eclipse because of the reddish color is also called a blood moon. This Friday, Mars will also come closest to the earth.

That’s not all, the astrology world would also has something to shock you up.

This longest blood moon of the century will highly affect our zodiac signs.  According to astrologist blood moon will give a huge impact in our lives and it is creating curiosity among people.

How will it affect us?

According to astrologists, this blood moon will affect everyone’s life but few signs especially Aquarius and Leo will be affected more. So, in general, we should prepare ourselves for some new changes in our lives and pay attention towards those things we are neglecting especially our emotions. However, its not an easy thing to control emotions. Think twice before act. Handle your relationships and friendship with kindness. Stay calm during your mood swings, be courageous and face whatever comes, you will survive, for sure!

So don’t forget to witness this historical blood moon this Friday night!
