On Tuesday, September 9th, a youth protest against corruption in Nepal, India’s northern neighbor, turned violent. Protesters burned down the homes and properties of several prominent ministers, including then-Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli. The Supreme Court of Nepal, a major newspaper group, and the Hilton Hotel were also set ablaze by the so-called Gen-Z violent protesters . However, the symbols of Nepal’s monarchy, the Royal Palace Narayanhiti in Kathmandu, and the palace of former King Gyanendra Shah, remained unscathed. Nepal’s President Ram Chandra Paudel accepted Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli’s resignation, after which groups of Gen-Z protesters (those born between 1997 and 2012) met with senior military officials and demanded the appointment of Sushila Karki as head of a caretaker government and suggested dissolving Parliament. Sushila Karki, the former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, was sworn in as Prime Minister on September 12th at 9:26 pm Nepal time.
Chart 1. Foundation Horoscope of Nepal Republic
In the horoscope of the Republic of Nepal, the tenth lord (royal power) Venus is deep combust by the eighth lord (disintegration) the Sun. In the last 17 years, 13 governments have been formed. Three prominent leaders—KP Sharma Oli, Pushpa Kamal Dahal Prachanda, and Sher Bahadur Deuba—have held the post of Prime Minister several times in succession, and all have faced allegations of corruption. In the horoscope of the Republic of Nepal, the Moon, being the lord of the sixth (controversy) house, is afflicted by the influence of both Mars and Saturn. Rahu’s transit from the Moon in Aquarius will continue until the end of November next year in 2026. Saturn, transiting in Pisces, is causing the effect of “Sade Sati” in the second house from the Moon in Nepal’s foundation horoscope. Mercury’s Antardasha, beginning on November 25, 2025, during Saturn’s Mahadasha, will provide some relief to Nepal, but holding elections may take some time.
Since the Maha Dasha lord Saturn and Anter Dasha lord Mercury are in benefic Varga’s in Navamsha of the foundation horoscope of Nepal so their period from 25th of November 2025 to 4th of August 2028 will bring some recovery in the ailing economy of the country. Since COVID 19 the high unemployment, declining foreign reserves and low investments have created serious troubles for Nepal’s economy but now its recovery will start from year 2026.
Sushila Karki will face significant challenges
Sushila Karki became the acting Prime Minister after taking oath in Kathmandu on September 12, 2025, at 9:26 pm local time. She became the first woman in her country to hold this position. In her oath taking chart, the ascendant of Taurus, the sign of Venus, the feminine planet, is rising, and the Moon, itself a feminine planet, is present in the ascendant sign.
Chart 2. Oath Taking horoscope of Sushila Karki
The ninth aspect of Jupiter, placed in the second house in Gemini, on the tenth house (royal power) from both the ascendant and the Moon, will maintain her good image. Sushila Karki’s oath taking chart has the Taurus ascendant rising, which is the birth ascendant of the horoscope of independent India (August 15, 1947, midnight, Delhi), meaning that relations with India will be satisfactory during her brief tenure.
In her oath taking chart, the conjunction of the Sun, Mercury, and Ketu in close degrees in the fourth house of the throne, and the malefic planet Mars afflicted by Saturn in the fifth house (students), will cause Sushila Karki to face opposition from a large section of Gen Z early next year. In Sushila Karki’s oath taking chart, the sub-period of Saturn in the major period of the Sun, from January 20, 2026, to January 2, 2027, will be a very difficult period. Next year in 2026, there could be another youth protest in some parts of Nepal, which will be extremely challenging for Sushila Karki to handle and conduct new elections. The Vimshottari Dasha of the Sun and Anter Dasha of Saturn from January 2026 to January 2027 will be challenging for the Nepal Prime Minister Sushila Karki as the Anter Dasha lord Saturn is connected with the 8th house of uncertainty in both Rashi and Navamsha. But somehow she will be able to conduct elections in the end of 2026 or in early 2027 in difficult circumstances.
