As per astrology, this lunar eclipses in Sagittarius zodiac. On June 30, Jupiter had entered Sagittarius and is currently transiting. Rahu is already present in the zodiac. Therefore, the combination of Jupiter and Rahu during the lunar eclipse will directly affect Sagittarius. The lunar eclipse will have a greater impact on Sagittarius people. People belonging to the Sagittarius zodiac may have mental stress, mother's distress, difficulty in decision making and problems related to the lower abdomen.

This is the third eclipse of the year and the last lunar eclipse will take place on 30th November.

The penumbral lunar eclipse takes place when the earth comes between the sun and the moon, but the three are not in a straight line. In such a situation, the shadow of the earth doesn't fall on a small surface of the moon directly but it is covered by the shadow of the outer part of the earth, called penumbra.
