On Tuesday, February 17th, in the Lunar month of Fhalgun, an annular solar eclipse will occur in the Dhanishtha Nakshatra in the Aquarius sign. This solar eclipse is not visible in India, but the conjunction of four major planets at the time of this eclipse will influence the westward-pointing Aquarius sign in transit, creating significant impacts on global politics, and India will not be spared. Recently, after a lengthy court case, the US Justice Department released the digital files of pedophile and sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein on January 30th of this year. At the time of the release of those document of sex crime the transiting Mars, Venus, Mercury and the Sun were in Capricorn a Saturn ruled sign. Out of 6 million of Epstein files 3.5 million has been released on the 30th of January this year.
Now when the conjunction of Mars, Venus, Mercury, Rahu and the Sun is about to take place in Aquarius sign it is highly likely that some more data from the Epstein files shall be released in the month of March this year which will bring a major storm in the global politics. As per the rules of Hindu Astrology the Rahu (Moon’s North Node), Venus and Mars are the key planets in unearthing sex scandal when they happen to be in the signs ruled by Mars and/or Saturn.
Following the revelations in the Epstein Files, many prominent politicians, industrialists, lawyers, figures in the glamour industry, and prominent royals are now facing the danger of court cases due to their connections to Jeffrey Epstein. The name of an Indian Union Minister and an industrialist are also being discussed in these Epstein Files.

Forecasting Trends for the Hindu New Year 2025-26 for India
Chart 1. Annular Solar Eclipse 17 February 2026
From an astrological perspective, within three months of the February 17th solar eclipse, the credibility of rhw governments in the United States, England, France, and India will be significantly threatened. At the time of the Annular Solar Eclipse of 17th of February the transiting Venus is heavily afflicted in both Rashi and Navamsha in the Saturn ruled sign Aquarius.
For India the fortnight starting from 17th of February 2026 is highly critical as the conjunction of four planets Venus, Mercury, Rahu, the Sun and the Moon in the 8th house of scandals in the lunar chart is showing danger of a major sex scandal troubling the central government.
The Aquarius eclipse will cause pain in the United States
The annular solar eclipse occurring in Aquarius on Tuesday, February 17th, on the Amavasya of the lulnar month of Falgun, brings suffering to prominent men and Western nations, according to the fifth-century text Brihat Samhita. Coincidentally, this eclipse is occurring in Dhanishtha Nakshatra, which is also the birth Nakshatra of the United States’ foundation horoscope (July 4, 1976, 10:20 am, Philadelphia).
Chart 2. Foundation Horoscope of USA
The foundation horoscope of the United States has a Leo ascendant rising , in which the Moon, the ruler of the twelfth house (losses) in the seventh house (sex scandals and immorality), in Aquarius sign and it is placed in the Dhanishtha Nakshatra. At the time of the eclipse, both the Sun and Moon will be in Dhanishta Nakshatra only. Later when the transiting Mars will move into the constellation Dhanishtha on the 23rd of February there will be a mass movement against the top US leaders and elites whose names have come up in the sex scandal related to the Epstein Files.
The inauspicious Vimshottari period of Rahu-Saturn-Rahu (from December 2025 to May 2026) in the Leo ascendant rising foundation horoscope of USA (Chart 2) indicates a major mass movement against President Donald Trump in many cities of the country. The close conjunction of Venus with Rahu in the eclipse sign Aquarius during the solar eclipse of the February 17th will led to some new and shocking revelations in the Epstein Files case over the next three months.
The Vimshottari Dasha of Rahu Anter Dasha of Saturn and Pratyanter Dasha of Rahu has to be the most disturbing for the USA society. Rahu’s depositor the Moon is in the 7th house which in mundane astrology signify the immorality in the society. The lord of the 7th house is Saturn which at present transit from the 8th house of the foundation chart of the USA which has to bring humiliation for the country during its on going Anter Dasha. The period of Rahu Dasha and Saturn Anter Dasha in Vimshottari is from November 2023 to September 2026 about which i had predicted many time in last two years on my blog that it would be the most disturbing for the USA.
India will be affected by this transit of Mars
The new moon date will end at 5:30 pm as per the Indian standard time during the solar eclipse on February 17th, 2026. In this horoscope for the solar eclipse of 17th of February 2026 (Chart 1) the Cancer ascendant is rising, and the malefic planet Mars is placed in its exalted sign Capricorn in the seventh house of the sex scandal. The ascendant lord the Moon, being in conjunction with the Sun, Rahu, Venus and Mercury in the eighth house of humiliation , is showing the astrological possibility of a senior minister of the Central Government resigning from his post in the next 3 months.
According to the Rahuchar Adhyay of Acharya Varahamihira’s Brihat Samhita, when Mars aspects or transits the Rashi of the eclipse, “there is a fear of war, fire, and trafficking .” Coincidentally, a few days after this solar eclipse in Aquarius, on February 23rd, Mars will enter Aquarius sign and it will afflict the eclipse’s Nakshatra, Dhanishtha. Mars will remain in Aquarius from February 23rd to April 3rd, during which the Russia-Ukraine war will intensify, and conditions for war between the United States and Iran will begin to develop. Amidst this global turmoil, the opposition’s attacks on the central government in India will intensify. The Aquarius sign, which influences western Indian states and Russia also, will pose a threat of fire accidents.
Chart 3. Foundation Horoscope of India
The foundation horoscope of independent India (August 15, 1947, midnight, Delhi) is of Taurus ascendant rising , in which the inauspicious Vimshottari Dasha period of Mars and the Anter Dasha of Rahu is currently underway. The Maha Dasha lord Mars is the lord of the 7th house (sex scandals) and it is in the Nakshatra of Rahu in Ardra. The Rahu, which is Anter Dasha lord) is in the ascendant in Rashi but it falls in the 12th house in Navamsha. The depositor of Rahu is Venus which is in planetary war with natural malefic Saturn in its enemy sign Cancer is not good for the image of the central government.
The transit of Mars, Rahu, the Sun, Mercury, and Venus in Aquarius in the tenth house of the horoscope (Central Government) between February 23rd and March 15th will be particularly inauspicious for the central government. These 5 planets will be transiting in the 8th house from the natal Moon (public opinion) which is in Cancer. This inauspicious transit of 5 planets in the 8th house from the Moon will also bring some major public protests against the government in many Indian states. Following major controversies caused by the inauspicious solar eclipse on February 17th, astrological indications shows that major changes in the top positions in the central government cabinet will occur within the next three months.
