Total Lunar Eclipse of 3 March 2026 and Middle- East War

March 2, 2026 By Sachin Malhotra

On the 28th of February 2026 at 09:30 a.m. Iran local time the supreme leader Ali Hosseini Khamenei was taking a meeting along with the high profile military and civilian leadership. A surprise air strike by USA and Israel hit the secure Presidential office in Tehran and killed Ali Khamenei and many others. In about 24 hours USA and Israel have reportedly dropped 1200 bombs at various locations in Iran killing many key family members and associates of Ali Khamenei. In the April 2025 issue of the Express Star Teller Magazine i had forecast a very critical time for Ali Khamenei regime in my write-up “Saturn-Rahu Conjunction in Pisces and Danger for Iran”. Using Hindu New Year horoscope 2025-26 for Iran i had predicted a major danger for Ali Khamenei any time before March 2026.

After the tragic death of Ali Hosseini Khamenei many public protests are taking place in various countries in Asia where Shia Muslims people lives.

In my article “Iran -Israel War and Middle East Tensions” posted on this blog on 18th of June 2025 i had also discussed in depth the foundation horoscope of Israel’s notorious secret agency Mossad and its controversial Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The readers may go through their charts at given below post.

Iran Israel War and Middle East Tensions

Now the upcoming lunar eclipse of 3rd of March will fall in Leo sign which is the rising sign of the USA President Donald Trump (born 14 June 1946, 10:52 a.m. at Queens, New York, USA) and it is the 10th house of power in the birth chart of Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu (born 21 October 1949, 10:15 a.m. at Tel Aviv, Israel). The impact of this Lunar Eclipse will bring down the popularity of both Donald Trump and Bejamin Netanyahu in their respective countries. The war which USA and Israel has waged against the Iran will run longer than expected due to the effects of this total lunar eclipse.

Chart 1. Horoscope of Total Lunar Eclipse 3 March 2026

As per the Brihat Samhita “Rahu-Chaar-Adhyay” if at the time of the lunar or solar eclipse Mars aspect the Sun and/or the Moon then it gives fear from the war, robbers and fire accident. Since at the time of the lunar eclipse of the 3rd of March 2026 Mars will be associated with the Sun and Rahu and it is giving its 7th aspect to the Moon so the current Middle East war is likely to get intensified. Mars will remain in Aquarius sign till the 2nd of April by which we don’t foresee any major relief for Iran as the relentless and brutal air strikes of USA and Israel are likely to continue.

After 2nd of April Mars will move into Pisces and get into a conjunction with natural malefic Saturn. In the foundation horoscope of Iran (1 April 1979, 15:00 hours at Tehran, Iran) the Vimshottari Dasha of Jupiter-Rahu-Saturn from 14th of February 2026 to 3rd of July 2026 will be very fatal and destructive for the country. The pro Islamic Republic regime forces can indulge into guerilla war fare against USA-Israel army which make this country destabilized in the longer period.

Chart 2. Foundation Horoscope of Iran

The total lunar eclipse of the 3rd of March 2026 is falling in Leo the 2nd house (a Maraka Bhava) in the foundation horoscope of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The eclipse is falling in the Purva Phalguni Nakshatra where natural malefic Saturn and Rahu are placed in the foundation chart of Iran. The Vimshottari Dasha of Jupiter-Rahu-Saturn will surely bring a change of regime in the country in any case before the end of this year or even before July. The Pratyanter Dasha lord Saturn is taking the lordship of the 7th house of war in Rashi and 8th house of national mourning. In current USA-Israel combine air strikes at least 48 top leaders of the Islamic Republic of Iran have been killed.

List of Top Iranian Leaders Killed in Air Strikes

The lunar eclipse is going to occur on Tuesday, March 3rd, the upcoming Falgun Purnima (i.e. Full Moon of the lunar Month of Falguna) . This lunar eclipse will be fully visible in China, Russia, Eastern Europe, Southeast Asian countries, Australia, North America, and South America. However, in India, it will be visible only a short while after the rising of the Moon in the sky. According to Indian Standard Time, this lunar eclipse on March 3rd will touch at 3:20 pm, peak at 5:04 pm, and end at 6:47 pm. In the states of Northeast India, such as Assam, eastern Bengal, Nagaland, Mizoram, Arunachal Pradesh, and Manipur, this lunar eclipse will be visible for a longer period, hence its impact will be greater there.

Lunar Eclipse will be bad for these professional

This lunar eclipse will occur in the zodiac sign Leo and in the constellation Purvaphalguni. According to the fifth-century mundane astrology text, Brihat Samhita, an eclipse in Leo will affect “forest dwellers, political groups or political parties, factions, It troubles the virtuous, powerful, those who live like kings, and those who work in the forest.” According to the book Varsha Prabodh, an eclipse in the Purvaphalguni Nakshatra results in less rainfall, suffering for the people, and an increase in the price of oil. This eclipse is occurring in the lunar month of Phalguna, which, according to the Brihat Samhita, troubles dancers, actors, playwrights, song-composers, noble women, archers (soldiers), artisans, Kshatriyas, and ascetics.

Since this lunar eclipse is falling in Leo ruled by the Sun so the prices of gold are likely to rise a bit for the next 45 days at least.

The rulers of these countries will face trouble after the lunar eclipse

During the lunar eclipse on March 3rd, the Moon will form an inauspicious conjunction with Ketu in Leo, and will be aspected by the Sun, Mars, and Mercury from the seventh house. The foundation horoscope of USA (July 4, 1976, 10:20 am, Philadelphia) is of Leo ascendant, in which the Moon, the ruler of the twelfth house (loss), is placed in the seventh house (sex scandals, war and immorality) in the Dhanishtha Nakshatra in Aquarius. At the time of the eclipse, the ascendant of the foundation horoscope of USA And the affliction on the seventh house could lead to more military aggression against Iran. This eclipse, afflicting the ascendant in the Leo ruled birth chart of US President Donald Trump (born June 14, 1946, at 10:52 am in New York), which will prove inauspicious for him. Major public protests against Donald Trump’s government are also possible in the US over the next three months.

This lunar eclipse will fall in the eighth house of the Capricorn ascendant foundation horoscopes of both Ukraine and China, which is troublesome for the rulers of these two countries. In China’s foundation horoscope (October 1st , 1949, 3:15 pm in Peking), the Maha Dasha of the 6th and 9th lord Mercury and the Anter Dasha of 8th lord the Sun is running at present. With the Sun being the lord of the eighth house, Chinese President Xi Jinping will face significant difficulties immediately after the eclipse. In Russia’s foundation horoscope (June 12th , 1990, at 1:45 pm in Moscow), the Moon is in Capricorn and this lunar eclipse in the eighth house in Leo is likely to play a role in the Ukraine war. There are astrological indications that the embattled Russian army will face a major setback in the next three months.

The conflict between the ruling party and the opposition in India will escalate

At the time of the lunar eclipse on March 3rd , Leo ascendant will be rising according to Indian Standard time. In the eclipse horoscope, the conjunction of Venus, the lord of the tenth house (royal power), in the eighth house with the malefic planet Saturn, the lord of the seventh house of immorality, and the conjunction of the malefic planets Mars and Rahu with the Sun (king), and Mercury in the seventh house will make the central government to face a major crisis due to a major scandal in the next three months. The Moon, the lord of the twelfth house of losses, looking at the seventh house in the eclipse horoscope, is an astrological indication of strained relations between India and some countries on the issue of current Middle East war. Political debates between the ruling party and the opposition will increase unusually over issues related to the trade deal with the United States, the Epstein Files scandal, and India’s foreign policy.

The eclipse occurring in Leo, the fiery sign, will result in unusually high temperatures in many Indian states in March and April months. Leo sign rule forest and since Mars aspect the Leo so fires will occur in forest in North India in the next 45 days because of the eclipse effects. Fires or violent incidents may occur in California and Chicago in the US as these areas come under the effects of Leo sign.

Planets and West Bengal Assembly Elections 2026

February 21, 2026 By Sachin Malhotra

In Brihat Samhita of Varahamihira chapter number 14, Nakshatra Koorma Adhyay is based on the study of ancient Koorma Chakra which has also been mentioned in Vishnu Purana. This Koorma Chakra is a graphical mapping of ancient India (Bharata) into 9 zones having 3 asterism each starting from Kritika, Rohini, Mrigsira group. As per Brihat Samhita Ardra, Punarvasu and Pushya signify the East direction. In this zone the area of Bengal and Assam comes. As per this ancient text Pragjyotishpur (ancient kingdom of Kamrupa) is present day Assam. Also, Gaura, Vanga and Anga Desha (kingdoms) are the present-day Bengal region, among which the West Bengal state is part of India while the eastern area of Bengal is now Bangladesh.

In the book “Dr. B.V. Raman – Jottings from his Astrological Diary… And More’ in the chapter number 3 title ‘India’s freedom’ at page number 26 and 27, the Mrigasira 3 (third part) has been assigned to Calcutta as per the Avakahada system. Dr. Raman uses to take Gemini and also a part of Cancer as the ruling sign of Bengal region as per this book.

Interestingly, last time when a major political change came in West Bengal State was during May 2011 assembly polls when transit Saturn was in Virgo giving aspect to the 10^th house from Gemini the zodiac sign of this state. In that assembly elections Trinamool Congress Party led by Mamata Banerjee defeated CPI (M) to end the 27 year long Communist Parties rule in the state. During that time the transiting Saturn was in Virgo in the 4^th house from Gemini and Jupiter was in Pisces in the 10^th from Gemini along with Venus, Mercury and Mars. Rahu was in Sagittarius then. All the major planets were influencing the 10^th house (government) from Gemini the ruling sign of West Bengal as per Dr. B.V. Raman.

West Bengal State Elections

The political landscape of West Bengal has changed since the last assembly polls held in April-May 2021. At that time BJP under the leadership of Dilip Ghosh emerged as the major opposition party by winning 77 seats with impressive 38.15% of vote shares. Trinmool Congress had won 211 seats in 294 member legislative assembly with 48.02% of vote shares. The transiting Saturn was in Capricorn then along with Jupiter in the 8^th house from the zodiac sign of West Bengal which is Gemini.

At present Suvendu Adhikari is the leader of opposition from the BJP since May 2021. He was once a state minister in Trinmool Congress government during 2016 to 2020 but then he left the party and joined BJP. He was born on 15^th of December 1970 (time unknown) when the Moon was in Gemini sign. His Naamakshar ‘Su’ gives Shatabhisa Nakshatra ruled by Rahu in Aquarius sign. The transiting Saturn is in favourable position from both his natal Moon in Gemini and Namaakshar sign Aquarius.

Mamata Banerjee five years younger than her official records

In her memoir, My Unforgettable Memories, Banerjee wrote: “I was not even fifteen when I wrote my school final examination and would have been disqualified for being underage. So, my father gave a fictitious age and birthday to get around the problem”. Apparently ‘Didi’ was born on October 5, instead of January five, as the book says that her mother had once given her a horoscope with that date mentioned in it.

Her mother used to celebrate her birthday every Ashtami (the eighth day of Durga Puja which falls in October) with a special preparation of rice pudding, she says while explaining how she has had two birthdays so far {Refer link – https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/mamata-five-years-younger-than-official-records-571219 }.

Thus, the real birth detail of West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee is not available with us.

Chart 1. Trinmool Congress Party : Founded January 1, 1998 at 11h. 00m. at 88E 22’, 22N 34’ at Calcutta, West Bengal with a balance of 2 years 11 months 15 days of the Moon Dasha at birth.

In the Pisces lagna foundation horoscope of Trinmool Congress Party (chart 1) there is a beautiful exchange between the lagna lord Jupiter and the 11^th lord Saturn. The lagna lord Jupiter is debilitated in the 11^th house of gains and it is in degree conjunction with malefic Upa-Graha Gulika which as per the Parashari method comes at 29 degrees and 31 minutes in Capricorn. As per a Parashari rule the debilitated planets are consider good in 3^rd, 6^th, 8^th and 11^th houses.

Trinmool Congress Party came into power in West Bengal by winning assembly elections in May 2011 when Vimshottari Dasha of Rahu and Anter Dasha of Jupiter running in their foundation chart.

Mixed Results Foreseen in Jupiter Maha Dasha

At the time of assembly polls in April-May 2026 Jupiter Dasha Jupiter Anter Dasha and Saturn Pratyanter Dasha would be running from 30^th of March 2026 to 1^st of August 2026. As per a Laghu Parashari rule a Dasha lord generally don’t give its full promising results during its own Dasha Anter Dasha . Trinmool Congress Party chart had given good results to them during Rahu Dasha and Jupiter Anter Dasha . But Jupiter in its own Swa-Anter Dasha may not give the promising results of the yoga it has involve in along with the 11^th lord Saturn and other planets The Parivartana (exchange of houses) between the lagna lord and the 11^th lord is a good Dhana Yoga.

But a noticeable point here is that the Jupiter as the lagna and 10^th lord is also in conjunction with the 5^th lord (minister most) the Moon, 9^th lord (luck) Mars and also the 3^rd lord (valour) Venus. The conjunction of lagna and 10^th lord with the 5^th and 9^th lord is a major Raja Yoga here. In Navamsha Jupiter is in the lagna and afflicted by the aspects of malefic Mars and Saturn both. In Dasha masa Jupiter is in the 6^th house though it is in mutual aspect with the 10^th lord there and it also aspect the 10^th house of political power.

Thus, during Jupiter Dasha Jupiter Anter Dasha and Saturn Pratyanter Dasha Trinmool Congress Party can retain power somehow but their vote share will decline from the last assembly elections. In transit Jupiter get 31 points in Sarvashtaka Varga in Gemini and 3 points in own Bhinnashtaka. Saturn get 29 points in Sarvashtaka Varga in Pisces and 4 points in its own Bhinnashtaka Varga in the foundation chart of Trinmool Congress which is good.

Favourable Jaimini Chara Dasha

As per the Jaimini Chara Dasha scheme Dasha of Cancer and Anter Dasha of Libra will be running from 1^st January 2026 to 2^nd of July 2026 in the foundation horoscope of Trinmool Congress party (chart 3). Dasha Rashi Cancer is 7^th house from the Atamakaraka Jupiter and the 11^th house from the Karakamsha lagna which is Virgo. Anter Dasha Rashi Libra is the 10^th house from Atamakaraka and the 2^nd from Karakamsha lagna which is also fine. The 10^th Pada is in Aquarius which is 8^th from the Dasha Rashi Cancer but 5^th from the Anter Dasha Rashi Libra.

Amatayakaraka Mercury is in fixed sign Scorpio and it aspect the movable Dasha Rashi Cancer and also the 10^th house from it which is Aries. In Jaimini system fixed sign aspect the movable sign except the adjacent sign, fixed sign aspect movable sign except the adjacent sign, and the dual sign aspect each other.

From the Anter Dasha sign Libra the Amatayakaraka Mercury is in the 2^nd house which is good.

Chart 2. Annual Horoscope of Trinmool Congress for completed year 28

The annual horoscope of Trinmool Congress (chart 2) is very enigmatic. Taurus lagna rise in the annual horoscope which is the 3^rd house of the Pisces lagna foundation horoscope (chart 1) of this party. Muntha (progressed lagna) is in Cancer which is the 3^rd house from the rising sign Taurus in the annual horoscope. The Muntha lord the Moon is strongly placed in the lagna and get the aspect of Yogkaraka Saturn. But the aspect of Mars from the 8^th house on the Muntha shows some violence activities.

In the annual horoscope of Trinmool Congress a major Raja Yoga of the 4^th lord the Sun and 5^th lord Mercury is formed in the 8^th house which get strength due to the 10^th aspect of Yogakaraka Saturn. As per the Parashari system for Taurus ascendant chart the yoga of the 4^th lord the Sun and 5^th lord Mercury is first grade Raja Yoga. The Raja Yoga in the annual horoscope can make Trinmool Congress win the assembly election but due to the strong influence of Mars on the Muntha (progressed lagna) and other planets some violence during election can’t be ruled out.

Enigmatic Yogini Dasha

In Yogini Dasha the Dasha of Sankata and Anter Dasha of Sankata ruled by Rahu will be running from April 2025 to January 2027 in the foundation horoscope of Trinmool Congress Party (chart 1). Sankata Dasha Sankata Anter Dasha and Bhadrika (rule by Mercury) Pratyanter Dasha would be running from March 2026 to June 2026 for Trinmool Congress Party. Rahu is in the 6^th house of the Trinmool Congress chart which get the 8^th aspect of 9^th lord (communal tensions) Mars. The transiting Rahu is in Aquarius which is the 9^th house from Gemini the zodiac sign of West Bengal. The transit of Rahu over the natal Ketu in the foundation chart of Trinmool Congress Party is indicating some major political violence. Since the Dasha lords Rahu and Mercury in Yogini Dasha are strong in mutual Kendra so Trinmool Congress can win assembly election, but political violence can’t be ruled out due to adverse transit of Rahu from the 9^th house of West Bengal’s zodiac sign Gemini.

Sensitive transit periods of Mars

During 23^rd of February to 2^nd of April 2026 the transit Mars will be in Aquarius in conjunction with malefic Rahu which is already transiting there only. These two natural malefic planets will be in the 9^th house from Gemini the zodiac sign for West Bengal and Bangladesh also. There will be some news of communal tensions in this region. Then Mars will join Saturn in Pisces from 2^nd of April to 11^th of May. This period can bring political violence in West Bengal state as both Mars and Saturn will be in the 10^th house (governance) from Gemini.

Oath Taking horoscope of Bangladesh Prime Minister Tarique Rahman – What it foretells ?

February 19, 2026 By Sachin Malhotra

Tarique Rahman’s centrist Bangladesh Nationalist Party secured 209 seats in the Bangladesh Parliament by winning 49.97% of the vote. Shafiqur Rahman’s alliance with Jamaat-e-Islami, a group of Islamic fundamentalist parties, secured 31.76% of the vote, winning 68 seats and gaining prominence as a strong opposition in the country’s Parliament. Sheikh Hasina’s Awami League was excluded from these elections. A coalition of student organizations led by Nahid Islam, the student leader who led the July 2024 uprising, won only 6 seats with 3.05% of the vote. Although Tarique Rahman secured more than two-thirds of the 299 seats in the elections, he made a grave mistake by taking the oath on the day of a solar eclipse.

In my blog post “Solar Ingress of Aquarius 2026…….(Posted on 12th of February)” i had forecast the victory of Tarique Rahman in Bangladesh elections {Refer link – https://astrologicalmusings.com/solar-ingress-of-aquarius-2026-what-it-foretells-for-india-and-the-world/}

In the recently concluded general elections in Bangladesh, India’s neighboring country, Tarique Rahman, leader of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party and the son of the former Prime Minister late Khaleda Zia, won a landslide victory. He was sworn in as Prime Minister in Dhaka on, February 17th, at 4:12 pm. Previously, in the January 2024 Bangladesh elections, then-Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina had won a landslide victory, but the opposition parties boycotted the elections. Following the violent public protests in Bangladesh in July 2024, Sheikh Hasina fled to India on August 5th, 2024, and since then she has been seeking political asylum , which is a matter of debate between the two countries.

Chart 1. Oath Taking Horoscope of Tarique Rahman

From an astrological perspective, the oath taken by Bangladesh’s new Prime Minister Tariq Rahman on Tuesday, February 17th, the day of the solar eclipse, during the inauspicious Panchang (almanac) of Amavasya Tithi, Dhanishtha Nakshatra, Parigraha Yoga, and Nag Karan, is not only bad for Bangladesh, but the political turmoil there could also have a profound impact on India.

The afflicted Moon in Tariq Rahman’s oath-taking horoscope will cause hardship to the public

In the oath-taking chart of Bangladesh’s new Prime Minister Tariq Rahman, the Moon is in Aquarius, afflicted by the Sun and Rahu, could cause significant hardship to the country’s people. In Mundane astrology the Moon signify the general happiness of the people in the country. The Cancer ascendant is rising in the oath-taking chart, and the Moon, the lord of the ascendant, is weak in the eighth house, flanked by the malefic planets Mars and Saturn, indicating significant hardship for the country’s people over the next two years due to communal tensions, political violence, and natural disasters.

Bangladesh’s closeness with Pakistan and China will increase, causing problems for India

In Tariq Rahman’s oath-taking chart, the Moon is in Aquarius, which is favorable for Pakistan because it trines the Moon in Gemini in the foundation chart of independent Pakistan (August 14, 1947, midnight, Karachi). However, since the Moon is in Cancer in the foundation chart of independent India (August 15, 1947, midnight, Delhi), so it is a negative 6/8 relationship with the Moon in Aquarius in the oath-taking chart of the new Prime Minister of Bangladesh. The disputes between the two countries will escalate on several bilateral issues. Disputes may escalate between the India and Bangladesh over the Ganga Water Treaty, the Teesta River Water Dispute, and the Extradition Treaty.

Chart 2. Foundation Horoscope of Bangladesh

Taurus ascendant is rising in Bangladesh’s foundation horoscope (December 16, 1971, 5 p.m., Dhaka). The Vimshottari Anter Dasha of Rahu in the Maha Dasha of the Moon’s current is showing significant shifts s in Bangladesh’s foreign policy, potentially changing the political geography of the region by rapidly expanding trade with China. Under the Antardasha of Rahu, placed in the ninth house of foreign policy, fundamentalist parties in Bangladesh may pressure Tariqe Rahman’s government to increase trade with Pakistan and China, which will make India uncomfortable.

In the foundation horoscope of Bangladesh the Maha Dasha of the 3rd lord the Moon was started from 17th of May 2024. It was since then the anti-India sentiments in the country had rapidly increased during the public protests against the Awami League Sheikh Hassina government. The Moon is the lord of the 3rd house is Vargottama in Scorpio but it is also getting an aspect by natural malefic Saturn. Thus, relations with neighboring countries signified by the 3rd lord the Moon has to go under transformation during this 10 years long Maha Dasha of the Moon.

Sheikh Hasina will attempt to return to Bangladesh

Former Prime Minister of Bangladesh and Awami League leader Sheikh Hasina (born September 28, 1946, 11 a.m., Dhaka) has a Scorpio ascendant in her birth horoscope. Sheikh Hasina, who has been taking refuge in India since August 2024, was the longest serving Prime Minister of the country as she ruled for about 20 years . In Hasina’s Scorpio ascendant birth chart, the Vimshottari Anter Dasha of Saturn in the Maha Dasha of Venus will last from May 2026 to July 2029.

Chart 3. Horoscope of Sheikh Hasina

In the Antardasha of Saturn, the lord of the fourth house (motherland), Sheikh Hasina may be seen playing a role in her and/or her children’s return to the country by supporting the party of Bangladesh’s new Prime Minister Tariqe Rahman, in which India will indirectly have a hand. Interesting thing to note here is that Sheikh Hasina’s birth ascendant has Scorpio rising which is the Moon sign of the national horoscope of Bangladesh (chart 2). When a political leaders Moon sign and/or the lagna is identical with the country’s foundation chart’s lagna and/or the Moon then he remain popular and strong for a longer period. The Anter Dasha of Saturn will be good for Sheikh Hasina as it is the lord of the 3rd and the 4th house in Rashi strongly placed in the 9th house of luck. And then in Navamsha it is 4th (mother land) and 5th (children) strong in the 5th house along with the 10th lord the Moon.

Thus, Sheikh Hasina’s Awami League may render their political support to Tariqe Rahman’s Bangladesh Nationalist Party in coming years to curtain the Islamic fundamentalist Jamaat-e-Islami’s rising popularity recently.

Two Bad Omens for BJP Ruled Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh Governments

February 17, 2026 By Sachin Malhotra

According to the Bhadrabahu Samhita, a classical text of mundane astrology, a king falling from a horse is considered an inauspicious omen. Recently, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav lost his balance while riding a horse at a public function and fell. He later regained his composure and continued with the program.

This omen, which occurred to Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav on January 25th at the Rahgiri Anandotsav in Ujjain, could spell major political disaster for him within the next year. A major decision is expected soon in the Supreme Court case regarding 27 percent reservation for Other Backward Classes (OBCs) in Madhya Pradesh, which could deal a blow to Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav’s government.

13 December 2023 at 11:30 a.m. at Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh

Tithi (Lunar day) : Shukla Pratipada, Vaar (lunar day) : Wednesday (Budhvaar) , Nakshatra : Moola, Karana: Kimsthughana, Yooga : Shoola

Hora at Birth : Mars

In the oath taking horoscope of Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav (chart 1) the rising sign is Aquarius which is a fixed Rashi. The natural malefic planets Saturn and Mars are in Kendra (quadrants) of Rashi, Navamsha and Dashamasha which is not good. The Tithi was Shukla Pratipada i.e. the first day of the brighter half which don’t give much strength to the Moon. The Moon is consider strong during Shukla Ashtami to Krishna Ashtami i.e. from 8th lunar day of brighter half to the 8th lunar day of the darker half.

Thus, the lagna and the Moon don’t have much strength in the oath taking horoscope of chief minister Dr. Mohan Yadav.

Bad Vimshottari Dasha in Oath Taking chart of Dr. Mohan Yadav

In the oath taking horoscope of Dr. Mohan Yadav the Moon is in ‘Moola Nakshatra’ ruled by Ketu. The Ketu falls in the 8th house of mishaps and humiliations. The Vimshottari Dasha of Ketu and Anter Dasha of the Moon is running from September 2025 to May 2026. During this period only his government faced humiliation after “Indore drinking water contamination crisis’ in which at least 15 people died and other 270 were hospitalized in first week of January 2026 {Refer link – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025_Indore_drinking_water_contamination}. The municipal drinking water was contaminated after sewerage water had entered into the drinking water supply lines due to the leakage of pipe lines. Interestingly Indore has been declared as the cleanest city of India for about 8 years in a row {Refer link – https://web.archive.org/web/20250914032717/https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/indore-declared-indias-cleanest-city-for-eighth-time-in-a-row-8891718 }.

Now the Vimshottari Dasha of Ketu and the Anter Dasha of Rahu from September 2026 to October 2027 can give trouble to Dr. Mohan Yadav’s government due to some scandal and/or a corruption case. Rahu is in the 2nd house in his oath taking chart and is depositor Jupiter is afflicted by the aspect of Saturn in Rashi and by the bad aspect of Mars in Navamsha. His own position will come under danger during this difficult period of Ketu-Rahu in Vimshottari from September 2026 to October 2027.

A Bad Omen for Uttar Pradesh State Government

According to the Brihat Samhita, a fifth-century text of mundane astrology, the collapse of a major temple’s spire is considered an inauspicious omen for the king of that region. On Tuesday, January 27th, lightning struck the Shani Dham Temple in Bulandshahr, Uttar Pradesh. The trident was broken by lightning striking the peak. The urn and coconut kept in the temple were also broken.

[Hindi] बुलंदशहर में शनि धाम मंदिर पर गिरी बिजली, शिखर पर लगा त्रिशूल टूटकर गिरा, गांव में अफरा-तफरी का माहौल

This ominous omen in Uttar Pradesh could create significant difficulties for Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. Swami Avimukteshwarananda Saraswati, the current Shankaracharya of Jyotirpith (Jyotirmath) Badrinath, had recently staged a protest with his followers during the Magh Mela against the administration. The Yogi government’s tension with Shankaracharya Swami Avimukteshwarananda Saraswati could prove costly for the BJP in Uttar Pradesh in months to come.
