7 Sep 2025 marks the start of a rare celestial event in India. A full lunar eclipse will occur on the first day of Pitru Paksha, a 15-day period dedicated to ancestral rituals. On 21 Sep, the last day, a solar eclipse will happen. This combination is taking place after 100 years. Astrologers advise against new beginnings during this time. The BJP, known to follow astrological guidance, may delay selecting its new national president. The party has limited options in early September due to the Vice-Presidential poll on 9 Sep. Experts suggest avoiding the entire month for major decisions. BJP leaders have not commented on the issue. The current president's term was extended till June 2024 for the Lok Sabha elections.
