In addition, a total lunar eclipse occurs on December 21, approximately during the hours of 5:00 to 11:00 GMT. This eclipse will be visible in the North and South American continents and pacific island regions including Hawaii. This eclipse is important since the Sun and Moon will be within 2 degrees from Ketu and Rahu respectively, and therefore will last for a long time (6 hours). The eclipse will occur with the Southern or descending node Ketu, in the sidereal zodiac sign Gemini and the ascending node Rahu in Sagittarius . Consequently this eclipse, according to Vedic astrology, is likely to be unfavorable for those who have sidereal Gemini or Sagittarius rising or Gemini or Sagittarius as moon sign.
