“”2025 Mirrors the 1997 Eclipses: Economic Upheaval and Global Shifts”
Partial Lunar Eclipse of March 24, 1997: Astrological & Global Impact
A Partial Lunar Eclipse occurred at the Moon’s ascending node on Monday, March 24, 1997, at 10:15 IST, with an umbral magnitude of 0.9195. A lunar eclipse takes place when the Moon moves into Earth’s shadow, causing a temporary darkening of its surface.
Visibility of the Eclipse
The March 24, 1997, Lunar Eclipse was visible across:
✔ North & South America – Fully visible
✔ Western North America & Central Pacific – Seen during moonrise
✔ Africa, Europe, West & Central Asia – Seen during moonset
Seismic Activity Around the Eclipse
This eclipse coincided with notable earthquakes:
📍 April 10, 1997 – 6.0-magnitude earthquake near Central Peru, causing damage.
📍 April 13, 1997 – 6.2-magnitude earthquake in the Kuril Islands region.
These events align with astrological theories linking eclipses to natural disasters.
Astrological & Global Events: March–April 1997
1. Heaven’s Gate Mass Suicide (March 24, 1997)
On the same day as the eclipse, 39 members of the Heaven’s Gate cult were found dead in a mass suicide in California. The group, led by Marshall Applewhite, believed that Comet Hale-Bopp signalled their ascension to another world.
2. Economic Instability & Prelude to the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis
Though no major global financial collapse occurred in March-April 1997, economic warning signs were evident:
🔸 Thailand’s currency crisis – Speculative attacks on the Thai baht
🔸 Stock Market Weakness – Asian stock markets showed increasing volatility
🔸 Foreign Debt Concerns – South Korea, Indonesia, and Malaysia faced growing financial strain
The July 1997 devaluation of the Thai Baht officially triggered the Asian Financial Crisis, but astrological indicators suggest that March–April 1997 was the starting point of economic instability.
