February 2, 2026 By Sachin Malhotra

In Brihat Samhita of Acharya Varahmihira the principals of financial astrology or commodities pricing and on career guidance through astrology has been discussed in many chapters. In the Chapter number 15 named ‘Nakshatra Vyuh Adhyay’, the Acharya has mention various commodities and professions that are signified by all the 27 Nakshatra’s from Kritika to Bharani. The Chapter number 16 ‘Graha Bhakti Yoga Adhyay’ mention about the commodities signified by various planets, Chapter number 39 ‘Sashya Jataka Adhyay’ gives principals for forecasting winter and summer harvest, then Chapter number 40 ‘Dravya Nischay Adhyay’ lays down the rules for commodities that comes under various signs from Aries to Pisces.

{Note:- This article of mine was published in the January 2026 issue of the Express Star Teller Magazine. The same has been reproduce here for the readers of this blog}

The Chapter number 41 ‘ Ardhyay Kandam (Teji-Mandi)’ is the most important as it contains the astrological combinations for forecasting commodities prices on the basis of solar ingress and planetary transits with respect to various signs. So, the study of Chapter number 15, 16, 39, 40 and 41 of Brihat Samhita of Acharya Varahmihira is very important in the context of financial astrology. The later authorities have discussed financial astrology on the basis of the rules framed by Acharya Varahmihira in these chapters of Brihat Samhita. The Bhavishya Phala Bhaskar and Varsha Prabodha are two such classical works of early 20th century at present available in Hindi on the subject of financial astrology and astro-meteorology mainly.

Why Gold is giving so high returns?

Now take an example of gold which as per the ‘Dravya Nischya Adhyay’ chapter number 40 is signified by the sign Aries (Mesha). The chapter number 16 ‘Graha Bhakti Yoga Adhyay’ tells us that the Sun is the significant of the gold. We also take Jupiter as another major significant for the gold. From the transit of Jupiter, which stay in a sign for about one year we can take major trends of the gold prices. Minor trends can be seen from the transit of the Sun from the sign Aries. Since last 2 years Jupiter has been transiting from its enemy sign Taurus and now in Gemini thus prices of gold have shown bullish trends in the market. Gold ETF and physical gold have given very high returns in the last 1.5 years.

Gold was in the international market is around $ 3,340 as on July 2025. While it took nearly 12 years for gold to move from $1,000 to $2,000 between October 2009 and January 2024, it took only 14 months for it to move another $1,000 to cross the $3,000 mark when Jupiter was transiting through Taurus and Gemini signs respectively.

Even the recent performance of gold has been more staggering. Year-to-date, gold is up over 27%, having jumped over 40% in the last 12 months {Refer link – https://www.financialexpress.com/market/gold-pulse/gold-price-performance-with-returns-over-last-5-and-10-years-in-charts/3911297/ }.

Transit effects of Saturn and Jupiter in 2026

In transit Saturn will move into the Uttara-Bhadra Pada Nakshatra on the 20^th of January and will remain there only till the middle of May 2026. As per the Brihat Jataka ‘Shani Chaar Adhyay’ the transit of Saturn from Uttara-Bhadra Pada Nakshtra gives trouble to peoples living at the bank of rivers, those who manufacture vehicles, women’s and gold smiths etc. Also, Saturn will be in Revati Nakshatra in the second half of 2026. As per Brihat Samhita Saturn transit from Revati Nakshatra gives trouble to the government servants and top officials, it also gives damage to low caste people and winter crops.

In the beginning of the year Jupiter will be retrograde in Gemini in Punarvasu Nakshatra which as per Bhavishya Phala Bhaskar is not good for cattle farmers. The production of milk may not be good during 2026 and milk prices are likely to rise during summer of 2026.

Rahu will be in Aquarius throughout 2026 which as per Varsha Prabodha can give rise in the prices of metals like copper, bronze etc. When Mars joins Rahu in transit in the Aquarius sign then prices of metals become costly. In the month of March 2026, the prices of metals and electronics items can be high due to Mars-Rahu conjunction in transit. The sale of vehicles will decline in 2026 due to an economic crisis because of the transit effects of Saturn in Uttara Bhadrapada Nakshatra.

Transiting Jupiter will enter into Cancer sign on the 2^nd of June which from its 9^th aspect with influence Saturn transiting into watery sign Pisces. This will increase the production of the crude oil giving benefit to the countries like Russia, Venezuela etc. The prices of crude oil will also reduce in the second half of 2026 which will be beneficial for the Indian consumers as petrol and diesel will then become a bit cheaper. The production of milk will increase in the last quarter of year 2026 due to the transit of Jupiter from Cancer sign.

Chart 1. Full Moon

3 January 2026, 15:32 hours at Delhi

In the beginning of year 2026 there will be upheavals in the stock markets in India due to an adverse planetary configuration on the Full Moon Day of the 3^rd of January. The conjunction of the Sun, Mars, Venus and Mercury in the 8^th house from the Sign Taurus will be sensitive for the country. Taurus is the rising sign of India’s foundation horoscope (15^th of August 1947, 00:00 hours at Delhi). The majority of planets in transiting influencing the 2/8 axis can give a sudden fall of stock market due to a political scandal, fall of government at the centre etc. The prices of precious metals like gold and silver will remain high in early 2026.

Chart 2. Foundation Horoscope of India

15 August 1947, 00:00 hours at Delhi

In the foundation horoscope of India (Chart 2) a difficult Vimshottari Dasha of Mars and Anter Dasha of Rahu will be running from 5^th of February 2026 to 24^th of February 2027. Mars is the lord of 7^th house (war like situation) and 12^th lord (espionage and foreign matters). Mars is placed in the 2^nd house of state exchequer in Ardra Nakshatra of Rahu. In the Anter Dasha of Rahu some major terrorist activities, troubles in foreign relations can give upheavals in the stock markets. There will be more growth in the manufacturing sector as compare to the service industry where some job cuts are expected. The introduction of artificial intelligence may give major job losses in the IT sector in year 2026 in India at low and mid-levels jobs. Since Rahu’s depositor Saturn is in ‘Graha Yuddha’ and is also in her enemy sign so this Anter Dasha of Rahu in the Maha Dasha of Mars will be very challenging for the Indian economy particularly for the service sector affecting middle-class the most.

The unemployment rate in USA in July 2025 is 4.2% which is likely to increase in first half of year 2026. There will be some public unrest against the policies of the President Trump government as the Hindu New Year chart of USA (18 March 2026, 21:23 hours at Washington DC) have 4 planets in the 6^th house of strife.

In the foundation horoscope of Russia (Chart 4) a favourable Vimshottari Dasha period of Jupiter and Anter Dasha of Saturn from 2^nd of April 2026 to 14^th of October 2028 will allow this country to end war with Ukraine. Russia had invaded Ukraine in February 2022 and since then a destructive war has given losses on both the sides. Now the Anter Dasha of 5^th lord Saturn will starts from the month of April 2026. Saturn as the 5^th lord will promote diplomacy and both sides will be able to find a solution to implement a ceasefire any time after April 2026. Saturn is also the lord of Navamsha lagna which will give Russia success in the higher production of natural gas and crude oil resulting into some boost in her economy in the second half of 2026.

Chart 5. Foundation Horoscope of Germany

3 October 1990, 00:00 hours at Berlin

Germany has got its new Chancellor in May 2025 when Friedrich Merz sworn in at the helm of affairs leading a coalition government after the general elections. Germany is the largest economy of Europe but at present it is struggling due to Trump’s Tariff imposing policy. USA has imposed 15% Tariff on imports from Germany which has hit her automobile sector badly. The unemployment rate in Germany is about 6.3% as in August 2025 {Refer link – https://www.reuters.com/business/retail-consumer/german-unemployment-tops-three-million-first-time-decade-2025-08-29/ }.

In the foundation horoscope of Germany (chart 5) the Vimshottari Dasha of Mercury and the Anter Dasha of the Sun will be running from 5^th of September 2025 to 13 July 2026. Mercury is functional malefic for the Cancer lagna chart of Germany and it is in the 8^th house from her natal Moon which is in Aquarius. But now the Anter Dasha of the Sun shows some recovery in Germany’s economy as the Sun is the lord of the 2^nd house in Rashi and 11^th lord in Navamsha. In year 2026 Germany’s economy will show some improvements and unemployment rate will also reduce there to some extent.

Case 6. Foundation Horoscope of China

1 October 1949, 15:15 hours at Peking, China

China is the second largest economy of the world who’s GDP growth rate at present till the mid of 2025 is about 5.3% but the unemployment is also increasing due to losses in manufacturing sector due to high Tariff imposed by USA Trump administration. In the foundation horoscope of China (chart 6) Mercury Maha Dasha and Venus Anter Dasha is running from February 2023 to December 2025. The Anter Dasha lord Venus is afflicted by the aspects of two hard malefic planets Mars and Saturn. Thus, Venus Anter Dasha gave this country loss of reputation also because of her aggressive foreign policies and dealings with neighbouring countries.

Now the Anter Dasha of the Sun in the Maha Dasha of Mercury don’t show any significant improvement for China’s economy as the Sun being the 8^th lord from the lagna is in the 9^th house of foreign trade and there it is in conjunction with Gulika, Ketu and Mercury. Manufacturing second in China will continue to struggle and one of her big leaders will also die during 2026 as the Sun Anter Dasha shows national mourning for China.

What does astrology say about the rapid increase in the prices of gold and silver?

January 23, 2026 By Sachin Malhotra

Due to the sluggish performance of the stock market and increasing uncertainty in global politics, investors have started investing heavily in gold and silver, which are considered relatively safe assets. The prices of gold and silver have been rising, particularly over the last year and a half, but silver prices have recently seen a significant surge. In the last month, the price of silver in India has increased from ₹2 lakh per kilogram to ₹3 lakh per kilogram in the bullion market. Investors are also rapidly investing in gold and silver funds (ETF). From the perspective of mundane astrology, Chapter 40, “Dravyanishchaya Adhyay,” of the 5th-century text Brihat Samhita, states that the Aries zodiac sign is associated with gold.

Among the planets, Jupiter and the Sun are considered indicators of gold. Silver is associated with Venus, and copper is among the elements ruled by planet Mars. Precious gems are associated with both Aquarius and Pisces signs as per Brihat Samhit’s Dravyanischaya Adhyay. Currently, the transit of Rahu is in Aquarius and Saturn in Pisces is causing a slowdown in the diamond and precious gems trade. Jupiter is associated with all kinds of wealth, including gold and silver. From the Sun transit we can forecast monthly trends of the gold.

Why investor’s are rushing towards silver ?

According to the principles of mundane astrology, if Jupiter and the Sun are transiting in their debilitated or enemy signs, the prices of gold and silver may rise. However, if these two planets are transiting in their friendly or exalted signs, and are conjunct with or aspected by benefic planets, then the prices of gold and silver may fall.

Lunar charts and Forecasting Trends of commodities

Chapter 41, Argha Kanda Adhyaya (Chapter on Price Fluctuations), of the Brihat Samhita states that the planetary positions and celestial phenomena occurring during the Full Moon, New Moon, and Solar ingress (Surya Sankranti) determine the rise and fall in the prices of commodities. This year, on the January 3rd, the day of the Full Moon, when the US attacked Venezuela and captured its president, since then the price of silver has seen a sharp increase.

The wealth-giving planet Jupiter has been transiting in Gemini since May 14th of last year. The lord of Gemini sign Mercury considers Jupiter its enemy. Due to Jupiter transiting into Gemini, the sign ruled by its enemy Mercury, the prices of gold and silver have been experiencing a significant surge.

Additionally, the price of gold is particularly influenced by the sign of Aries. If malefic planets Saturn and Mars are transiting in the 3rd, 6th, 10th, and 11th houses from Aries, the price of gold tends to rise less significantly. However, if Saturn or Mars transit in any other house besides these Upachaya houses from Aries, the price of gold may increase sharply. Currently, due to Saturn’s transit in Pisces, gold prices have been on an upward trend for the past year and a half. From April 2nd to May 11th, Mars will also be in Pisces, which will likely keep gold prices high. However, after Jupiter enters its exalted sign of Cancer on the 1st of June , the luster of gold and silver may diminish somewhat, and investors may shift their focus to other sectors.

During this period, there may be fluctuations in the prices of gold and silver.

Cancer is Jupiter’s exalted sign, where Jupiter, the benevolent planet, may cause a decrease in gold and silver prices after June 1st. In the latter half of 2015, gold prices remained low due to Jupiter’s transit in Cancer.

Chart 1. Horoscope of Solar Ingress of Aries

Gold is particularly influenced by the sign of Aries. With the transiting Jupiter moving to Cancer in the 4th house position from Aries, gold prices may decrease somewhat after June 1st this year. Regarding silver, the surge in prices during March, when Venus transited in its exalted sign Pisces, may subside, but it will take some time for the market to fully stabilize in the matter of this precious white metal. Mars, the ruling planet of copper, will conjunct Rahu in Aquarius on February 23rd, which may lead to a rise in copper prices. According to Bhavishya Bhaskar, Rahu’s transit in Aquarius can bring about an upward trend in copper prices. Rahu in Aquarius may cause significant fluctuations in the copper market until September of this year.

Dwi-Janma lagna annual horoscopes of India and Pakistan (2025-26)

January 21, 2026 By Sachin Malhotra

Annual horoscope or Varshaphal is constructed for a year when the Sun returns to the same sign and degrees as it was in its natal position. An annual horoscope can be cast for a nativity and also for a country or a political entity to study her fortunes for coming one year (12 months). The study of the rising sign and the Muntha (progressed lagna) in the annual horoscope is utmost important along with other Tajik Saham’s. Many senior astrologer’s studies the annual horoscope using Parashari rules only.

A small classical text in Hindi named ‘Varsha Yoga Samooha’ written by Pandit Jwala Prasad Mishra with Sanskrit Sloka’s on annual horoscopy is an example of the use of Parashari approach in the Varsha Kundali. My teacher Mr. K.N. Rao also recommend to study the annual horoscope using Parashari Principals only avoiding Tajik aspects and Yoga’s in it. As per him if the rising sign of the Janma lagna (birth chart ascendant sign) appears as the lagna of the annual horoscope, then that particular year is known as the ‘Dwi-Janma-Varsha’ which is very crucial period in the life of native. Depending upon the running Dasha the ‘Dwi-Janma-Varsha’ year can be extremely good or bad.

Interestingly both India and Pakistan are having a ‘Dwi-Janma-Varsha’ in their respective annual horoscopes currently. Since August 2025 some important events have happened in the both nations. In a terrorist attack on the November 10^th , 2025 a car exploded near Red Fort in Delhi killing at least 15 people and injuring more than 20 {Refer link – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025_Delhi_car_explosion}. This was the biggest terrorist attack in Delhi since September 7^th , 2011 Hight Court Bomb Blast which had then killed 15 people and left 79 injured {Refer – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_Delhi_bombing}. Thus, after more than one decade India’s capital Delhi had come under the major terrorist attack sponsor by Pakistan which has suffered badly in the recent operation ‘Sindoor’ by the Indian Air Force in May 2025.

In Pakistan a suicide attack in Capital Islamabad on the November 11^th , 2025 had killed 12 and injured 36. The Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) had taken its responsibility {Refer link – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025_Islamabad_suicide_bombing}. Pakistan also had troubles at its western border with Afghanistan recently when the ruling Taliban attacked multiple Pakistani military post in the first fortnight of October 2025. Pakistan had to respond with airstrikes in Kabul and Jalalabad then to retaliate (Refer link – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025_Afghanistan%E2%80%93Pakistan_conflict ).

Now let’s study the annual horoscopes of both India and Pakistan along with their foundation horoscopes.

Chart 1. Foundation Horoscope of India

August 15, 1947 at 00h. 00m. at Delhi, at 77 E 13 and 28 N 40 with a balance of 18 years 0 months 25 days of the Saturn Dasha at birth.

In the Taurus lagna foundation horoscope of India (chart 1) a Maha Dasha of 7^th (war) and 12^th (losses and espionage) lord Mars is running from September 9^th, 2025 to September 9^th, 2032. As per the rules of mundane astrology the Maha Dasha of 7^th lord is sensitive for a country as this house specifically rules a war or war like situation and foreign relations. If we go by the Parashari rules then 7^th lord is a Maraka (killer) planet and if it is placed in the 2^nd house, which is another Maraka Bhava, then it becomes a bit more dangerous for the safety.

In the foundation horoscope of India (chart 1) Mars is placed in its enemy sign Gemini in the 2^nd house. Mars is along with Gulika and it is in the Ardra Nakshatra ruled by Rahu. Now the Anter Dasha of Rahu in the Maha Dasha of Mars from February 5^th, 2026 to February 24^th, 2027 is likely to be very sensitive for the country. In the Book Hindu Predictive Astrology by Dr. B.V. Raman in Chapter number XXXI named Mundane Astrology it has been mentioned that the 7^th house rules ‘health of women, immorality in the country, rate of infant mortality, war, foreign relations etc.’ As per Dr. Raman the 2^nd house in mundane astrology signifies, ‘state revenue, aristocracies in the state, wealth of people, revenue, state imports and commercial transaction etc.

Immorality and Sex crime will increase in India

Since the Dasha lord Mars is in its enemy sign Gemini and it is making a bad 2/12 relations with the Anter Dasha lord Rahu so this period could be crucial for the country in year 2026 for the safety of women, sex crimes, terrorist attacks and a war like situation. Noticeable point is that the depositor of Rahu is Venus, a feminine planet, which as the lagna lord is in ‘Graha Yuddha’ with natural malefic Saturn in its enemy sign Cancer making a bad yoga for women’s safety in the country. A major sex scandal can’t be ruled out during this Mars Dasha and Rahu Anter Dasha mentioned above. Rahu is in the 12^th house in Navamsha and in Dasmasa it is in the 12^th house also getting the 7^th aspect of Mars which also indicate downfall of a national leader of the ruling party at the center in controversial circumstances.

Chart 2. Annual horoscope of India for completed year 78

August 14, 2025 at 23h 39m at Delhi.

In the Annual horoscope of India for completed year 78 (chart 2) the Taurus lagna is rising which is same as her Janma lagna (chart 1). Thus, it is a “Dwi-Janma-Varsha” for India and its period from August 2025 to August 2026 would be highly sensitive as running Vimshottari Dasha period of Mars and the Anter Dasha of Rahu is of hard malefic planets only. In the annual horoscope Muntha (progressed lagna) is in the 7^th house of war. Muntha lord Mars is in mutual aspect with Saturn which is a natural malefic planet. Both Mars and Saturn aspect the 8^th house of mass deaths. But the saving grace is the aspect of Venus and Jupiter on the 8^th house.

In Yogini Dasha the Dasha of Bhramari ruled by Mars and Anter Dasha of Siddha ruled by Jupiter will be running from February 19^th, 2026 to June 21^st 2026 in the foundation horoscope of India (chart 1) will be dangerous when a major terror attack and war like situation at the border can occur. Mars is the lord of 7^th house in foundation chart of India and Jupiter as the 8^th lord (mass deaths) is placed in the 6^th house (conflicts) is a functional malefic. In Yogini Dasha the mutual Dasha Anter Dasha ’s of Mars and Jupiter are not good for India from February 2026 to June 2026. Tensions in West Bengal and Assam , the two border states with Bangla Desh will give troubles to the central government.

Chart 3. Foundation Horoscope of Pakistan

August 14, 1947 at 00h. 00m. at Karachi, Sindh at 67E 04 and 24N 54 with a balance of 1 years 4 months 12 days of Rahu Dasha at Birth.

In the foundation horoscope of Pakistan (chart 3) the Aries ascendant is rising and the country is undergoing the Vimshottari Dasha of Venus from December 2007 to December 2027. During this Maha Dasha of 7^th lord (war) Venus involve in a ‘Graha Yuddha’ with natural malefic Saturn the country has suffered from many terrorist attacks which is the result of her policy of promoting radical Islamization since the era of Zia-ul-Haq in 1980’s. As per the available data the terrorist attacks have increased in Pakistan since 2006 , and the year 2009 was the worst. In 2009, the worst of any year, 2,586 terrorist, insurgent and sectarian-related incidents were reported, killing 3,021 people and injured 7,334, according to the “Pakistan Security Report 2009” published by PIPS {Refer link – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_terrorist_incidents_in_Pakistan_since_2001}.

In the ongoing Maha Dasha of the 7^th lord Maraka Venus Pakistan has suffered lots of civilian causalities due to her policy of harbouring and nurturing terrorist outfits, which it used as a tactical weapon first in the Afghanistan war during 1980’s to help USA in droving away Soviets army , and then across her eastern borders in Punjab and Kashmir to destabilized India. In Venus Maha Dasha the Anter Dasha of 3^rd (border clashes) and 6^th lord (conflicts) Mercury is running from December 2023 to October 2026. Mercury as the 3^rd lord is involve in a bad Rashi Parivartana Yoga with the 4^th lord (land and resources) the Moon. The Moon as the 4^th lord is with Mars and Gulika which is highly inauspicious.

In the remaining Anter Dasha of Mercury Pakistan may suffer more losses at her borders with Afghanistan and also from India in military clashes.

Chart 4. Annual horoscope of Pakistan for completed year 78

August 13, 2025 at 23h 38m at Karachi.

The annual horoscope for Pakistan for completed year 78 (chart 4) is also not good. Here we have Aries sign rising making it a ‘Dwi-Janma-Varsha’ for Pakistan. The Muntha (progressed lagna) is in the 7^th house of war but since it gets the aspect of the 9^th lord Jupiter so there is a saving grace also. There will be no danger of a full-scale war but only some border clashes will give troubles to the Pakistan. The lagna and 8^th lord Mars is in the 6^th house in mutual aspect with 10^th and 11^th lord Saturn which is not good. The lord of the 10^th house (government) Saturn along with the 4^th lord (national assets and land) the Moon is falling in the 12^th house of losses, and they are in mutual aspect with natural malefic Mars showing a violent attack on a very important leader of the country.

In Yogini Dasha period Bhramari ruled by Mars and Anter Dasha of Siddha ruled by Venus would be running in the foundation horoscope of Pakistan (chart 3) from May 25^th, 2026 to February 19^th, 2027. Mars is giving aspect to the 10^th house in Rashi , Navamsha and Dasha masa is showing the growing influence of military in Pakistan as Army General Asim Munir has been given some unpresented powers as the Field Marshal rank was conferred on him on the May 20^th, 2025. The Anter Dasha of Siddha ruled by Venus is also not good as Venus being a “Maraka” planet in Pakistan’s foundation chart (chart 3) is in planetary war with malefic Saturn. Venus is hemmed between natural malefic planets in Navamsha and it has become the 7^th lord (war) in Dasha masa.

Thus, some border clashes between India and Pakistan can’t be ruled out in year 2026 also as per the study of their foundation charts and the annual horoscopes given above. Political instability and scandals will also trouble the ruling elites of both the countries as in the annual horoscope the Muntha is badly placed in the 7^th house of war and sex scandals.

Transit Rahu in Aquarius and Danger for Iran

January 18, 2026 By Sachin Malhotra

Anti-government protests, which began in Shia-majority Iran on December 28th of last year, have now escalated, and according to reports, more than 3000 people have been killed and over 20,000 protesters have been arrested. This is the most violent mass movement in Iran since the Islamic Revolution of 1979. In January 1979, the then pro-American Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi was forced to abdicate his throne and seek refuge in Egypt following a violent mass uprising in the country. After this Islamic Revolution in Iran, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini became the Supreme Leader of the country. From an astrological perspective, during the Iranian Islamic Revolution of 1978-79, Rahu was transiting in Leo and Ketu was in Aquarius then.

Currently, when violent mass movements are again taking place in Iran, Rahu is transiting in Aquarius and Ketu in Leo, afflicting the Aquarius-Leo axis. Aquarius is considered the sign associated with religious matters or places of worship. The affliction of Aquarius will intensify further when Mars conjuncts Rahu in this sign from February 23rd to April 1st, forming the Angaraka Yoga.

Iran supreme leader acknowledges thousands killed during recent protests

In the April 2025 issue of Express Star Teller magazine, I had forecast a very critical time of Ali Khamenei regime in my article “Saturn-Rahu Conjunction in Pisces and Danger for Iran”. In that article I had discussed in detail the foundation horoscope of Iran at page number 38 and the Hindu New Year chart for Iran at page number 39 forecasting Iran-Israel military conflict during April-July period in 2025. During 13^th to 25^th of June 2025 Iran and Israel got involved in a military conflict in which they both attacked each other using ballistic missiles and drones {Refer link – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran%E2%80%93Israel_war}.

Using Hindu New Year 2025 chart of Iran I had also mentioned in the last line of that article that there will be a major danger for Ali Khamenei during the year 2025-26.

The readings can go through that article at the below given link.

Saturn-Rahu Conjunction in Pisces and Danger for Iran

Iran’s foundation chart is set for April 1, 1979, at 3 PM in Tehran, with Cancer rising. In Iran’s foundation chart, the lord of the fourth and eleventh houses, Venus, is placed in the eighth house of underground natural resources along with Ketu. The aspect of Saturn on the 8th house of underground wealth makes Iran a leading nation in the production of crude oil (petroleum). Saturn is consider as the natural karaka (significant) for the crude oil.

In Iran’s foundation chart, Saturn and Rahu are placed in the second house of wealth in Leo, and Ketu is currently transiting over them, which, according to the Bhrigu system, indicates a major crisis and financial loss in the country. Due to the influence of this inauspicious transit, Iran’s economy has been devastated, and the Iranian currency, the rial, has plummeted against the dollar in the international market.

Chart 1. Foundation Horoscope of Iran

astrological predictions about Iran

In Iran’s foundation chart, the current period is Jupiter’s Mahadasha and Rahu’s Antardasha. This period of Jupiter-Rahu in Vimshottari is from June 10, 2025, to November 4, 2027, is currently underway. The Mahadasha lord, Jupiter, is the lord of the ninth house (religion) and is situated in the ascendant in its exalted sign, Cancer. Iran is an Islamic republic and a religious autocracy. However, the Antardasha lord, Rahu, is forming an inauspicious 2/12 relationship with Jupiter, creating a yoga for financial loss in Iran’s horoscope. In transit, the Mahadasha lord, Jupiter, is in Gemini, transiting through the twelfth house of loss, which could lead to a change of power in Iran by June of this year. Mars, in transit from January 15 to February 23, is in the seventh house of war in Capricorn, which could create a situation of war in Iran due to US military intervention.

The transiting Saturn is in Pisces at present which has influence the 10th (government) and 5th lord (minister post) Mars, 12th lord (loss of power) Mercury and the 2nd lord (state exchequer) the Sun. This transit of Saturn over these three planets is giving an inauspicious results to Iran.
