On the 15th of March, at 1:03 AM Indian Standard Time, the Sun had enter the sign of Pisces; according to the principles of Indian astrology, the prevailing Panchang (almanac variables) at that moment will correspond to Saturday, ‘Krishna Ekadashi’ (11th lunar day of the darker half) , ‘Uttarashada Nakshatra’, ‘Parigha Yoga’, and ‘Balava Karana’. According to the classical text titled ‘Varsha Prabodh’, if the ‘Meena Sankranti’ (the Sun’s ingress into Pisces) occurs on a Saturday during the month of ‘Phalguna’, it portends the destruction or loss of maritime commodities. Currently, amidst the war imposed upon Iran by the United States and Israel’s aggression, Iran has effectively blocked the movement of oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz in the Persian Gulf. Consequently, given that the Sun’s ingress into Pisces (‘Meena Sankranti’) falls on the inauspicious day of Saturday, an astrological probability is now emerging regarding the occurrence of a major maritime mishap within this region in next 30 days to come.
Difficulties foreseen for the Central Government and the Election Commission
The horoscope cast at the moment of the Sun’s ingress into Pisces features Scorpio as the Ascendant (;Lagna’). Within this chart, the ruler of the Ascendant and the Sixth House (signifying disputes and conflicts)—Mars—is positioned in the 4th house (representing the throne, the government, and the Parliament). Here, Mars forms a highly inauspicious conjunction with Mercury—the ruler of the Eighth House (signifying scandals and crises)—and the malefic planet Rahu also joins them in close degree conjunction.

Given that this inauspicious planetary combination of Mars, Mercury, and Rahu is situated within Aquarius—the sign ruled by the malefic planet Saturn—the credibility and reputation of the Central Government are poised to face a severe crisis. Opposition parties are expected to launch scathing attacks against the Central Government, capitalizing on issues such as rising inflation within the country, foreign policy confusions, the “Epstein Files” scandal, and the crisis involving a domestic shortage of LPG (cooking gas)—a shortage exacerbated by the ongoing conflict in the Gulf region. These attacks will be aimed directly at the Prime Minister Modi himself.
Furthermore, the presence of malefic planet Ketu situated in the 10th house of the solar ingress horoscope is also a major concern for the government. The conjunction of the 10th Lord, the Sun, with Saturn serves as an astrological indication that the Central Government is facing a major crisis. Also, the ongoing inauspicious Vimshottari Dasha—specifically the sub-period of Rahu within the major period of Mars—in the horoscope of independent India (August 15, 1947, midnight, Delhi) also points to towards a period of immense challenges for the Central Government.

The foundation horoscope of the Election Commission (cast for January 25, 1950, in Delhi) features a Libra Ascendant; currently, it is undergoing the ‘Antar dasha’ (sub-period) of Saturn—situated in an inimical sign in the 11th House—within the ‘Maha dasha’ (major period) of a debilitated Jupiter, which is positioned in the 4th House. The transit of Saturn over the natal Moon—the 10th Lord positioned in the sign of Pisces in the 6th house of conflicts could bring a significant crisis regarding the institution’s credibility. In the context of the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of voter lists in West Bengal, the Supreme Court has constituted a tribunal to adjudicate appeals filed by individuals excluded from the lists; the proceedings of this tribunal may entail significant difficulties for certain high-ranking officials of the Election Commission.
Major Upheaval Predicted for Weather and Economy
Due to the ongoing conflict between the United States and Iran, the crisis affecting global markets is likely to persist for a few more days. Specifically, until April 2nd, the conjunction of Mars with Mercury and Rahu in the sign of Aquarius will continue to drive volatility in the stock markets. Venus—the signification planet for silver—is currently exalted in the sign of Pisces; positioned alongside Saturn, it will bring fluctuations in silver prices over the next 30 days, thereby maintaining a state of confusion among investors regarding both buying or selling the silver and the gold.
Owing to the conjunction of the malefic planets Mars and Rahu in Aquarius, temperatures in India’s western states—Gujarat, Maharashtra, and Rajasthan—are expected to rise above normal levels. Aquarius signify west direction and it is a windy sign in nature. After 2nd of April , as Mars moves into the sign of Pisces and casts its seventh aspect upon the sign of Virgo which signify south direction, the states of South India—particularly Andhra Pradesh and Telangana—are likely to experience record-breaking heat waves in the month of April. North India, too, may experience in April a temperature which will be higher than the normal.
