This will be visible from entire Europe, Asia, Australia, Antarctica and Africa.
Regions in white part of above image will be able to see entire eclipse. Regions in light blue color will see atleast some part of the eclipse and will remain under its influence for next 3-4 weeks.
Other regions in dark blue color (Entire North America and most of South America) cannot see this lunar eclipse.
As this is a penumbral eclipse, it can be hard to see, as the Moon will only be a bit fainter.
Full Moon will be conjunct Ketu in Aquarius and aspected by Sun, Jupiter from Virgo when it begins.
Both Aquarius and Pisces signs indicate water, so we can expect heavy rains, floods, cyclones and other water related natural calamities in countries where eclipse can be seen.
Moon is above the horizon during this eclipse, so with good weather conditions, the entire eclipse is visible in India.
