On October 17, at 7:51 PM Indian Standard Time, the Sun will move from the sign of Virgo (Kanya Rashi) into Libra (Tula Rashi). The Sun remains in a single zodiac sign for one month—approximately 30 days. In Hindu astrology, the ‘Sankranti Kundali’ , a chart cast at the moment of the Sun’s transition between signs,  is used to forecast political, social, and economic developments for the following 30 days. In the coming days, Brazil will hold presidential elections on  October 25th , while in Israel, the general elections on October 27th  will determine the fate of Benjamin Netanyahu, who served as Prime Minister for nearly 18 years. In the United States, midterm elections are scheduled for November 3—a time when the Sun will be in Libra; if Donald Trump’s Republican Party fails to secure a majority in Congress, a decline in his influence is certain. Meanwhile, in India, protests demanding the resignation of the Chief Election Commissioner are making headlines, as are the demonstrations in neighboring Pakistan, where the opposition party is calling for the release of former Prime Minister Imran Khan.

Looking at these events, the fact that the Sun’s transition into Libra—occurring during the month of Ashwina—falls on a Saturday suggests a heightened risk for those in power—that is, the rulers. Furthermore, as the Sun enters Libra, the influence of Mars—which is currently transiting through the water sign of Cancer—casting its fourth aspect (Drishti) upon the Sun, creates astrological conditions that point to potential hardships for farmers in the coming days, driven by the prospect of unseasonal rainfall, hailstorms and shortages of fertilizers.

Chart 1. Sun’s entry into Libra

Indo-Pak  Border Tensions Foreseen

At the time of the Sun’s entry into Libra, the zodiac sign of Taurus (Vrishabha Lagna) will be rising in both Delhi, the capital of India, and Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan. The situation is particularly concerning for India, as the rising sign (Lagna) falls within the ‘Mrityubhaga’ (a sensitive, inauspicious degree range), and Mars is casting its aspect on Rahu, which is positioned in the tenth house—an unfavorable configuration for the central government. Additionally, the third house is afflicted by a debilitated Mars, while the Moon—the lord of the third house—is suffering from the tenth aspect of Saturn, and  it  is relegated into  the  eighth house. Astrological configurations point toward ceasefire violations and military skirmishes along the India-Pakistan border.

In Pakistan’s ‘Tula Sankranti’ (Libra Ingress) chart, the presence of Rahu in the tenth house of the zodiac—combined with an inauspicious conjunction of Rahu and Saturn in the tenth house of the ‘Navamsha’ (divisional chart)—suggests the potential for significant violence during anti-government public protests. To divert public attention from its internal crises, the Pakistani military may orchestrate terrorist activities in India over the next 30 days; this could subsequently lead to a breakdown of the ceasefire, potentially involving drone attacks at various points along the border between the two nations.

Furthermore, the affliction of the third and fourth houses in the ‘Surya Sankranti’ (solar ingress) chart indicates serious concerns regarding the security of public transport systems in India.

Political Downfall   Foreseen for  Benjamin Netanyahu and Donald Trump

On October 27, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu (born October 21, 1949, at 10:15 AM in Tel Aviv) will face a highly challenging general election. For Netanyahu, who has a Scorpio ascendant, the retrograde motion of Venus in the sign of Libra this October could precipitate a major political crisis. Currently under the ‘Vimshottari Maha Dasha’  of Ketu  and  Anter Dasha  of  Venus—a combination considered inauspicious—Netanyahu risks defeat in the general elections scheduled for the last week of October, which could lead to his ouster from power. Venus, the ‘Antardasha’  lord, is transiting through the twelfth house (the house of loss) in his Scorpio-ascendant chart. Furthermore, Venus is currently weakened by its proximity to the Sun (combust), serving as an astrological indicator of his potential departure from power.

Chart 2. Horoscope of Benjamin Netanyahu

In Benjamin Netanyahu’s Scorpio  lagna  chart the 16  year  long Mercury  Maha Dasha (from  May 2008 to May 2025)  helped  him to rule the country  in  a coalition government. He is the longest serving Prime Minister  of  Israel who  served the country for about 18 years since 1996  in six non-consecutive terms. Mercury is in own sign in  Virgo  along with 9th lord  the Moon  and is getting the aspect by 5th lord Jupiter is in a great ‘Dhana Yoga’. In Navamsha Mercury is with 5th  lord  Mars and  get aspect by  lagna lord  Jupiter. Mercury is also very powerful  in his Dashamasha chart which make  him rule  as  Prime Minister during its long Maha Dasha.

But now he is under Maha Dasha  of  Ketu which at present in transit is hovering over  his  lagna and  6th lord Mars in Leo sign. Ketu Maha Dasha and  Venus Anter Dasha is  from  October 2025 to December 2026 is showing his downfall.

Shortly after the Israeli general elections, on November 3, the United States will hold midterm elections for Congress—a body currently controlled by President Donald Trump’s Republican Party. Donald Trump, who has a Leo ‘Lagna’ (ascendant) (born June 14, 1946, at 10 hours and  52 minutes, Queens, New York) U.S. President Donald Trump is currently undergoing the ‘Vimshottari  Anter Dasha’ of Venus within the ‘Mahadasha’ of Jupiter, and the ‘Pratyanter Dasha ‘ of Saturn; the period ahead appears difficult for him. The ‘Antardasha’ lord, Venus, is ‘vargottama’ (placed in the same sign in both the ‘Rashi’ and ‘Navamsha’ charts) in the 12th house—a position considered auspicious according to astrological texts—but the presence of the ‘pratyantardasha’ lord, Saturn, in the 12th house (the house of loss) is unfavorable. Due to the adverse influence of Saturn, Donald Trump’s Republican Party may face defeat in the midterm elections and emerge weakened, which would make it difficult for him to get his preferred bills passed in the U.S. Congress.

Chart 3. Horoscope  of Donald Trump

In the Leo lagna birth chart of Donald Trump the favorable Jupiter Maha Dasha and Venus Anter Dasha in Vimshottari made him President of  the country  for  second,  non-consecutive time in  November 2024 elections. Jupiter is the lord of  the 5th house placed in  the 2nd  house from Janma lagna  and 11th from his natal Moon. Venus  is Vargottama in Cancer and  is strongly  placed  in  the 12th house.  But now  the  Pratyanter Dasha of Saturn is  going to give him a set back as in transit Saturn  is  moving from  Pisces  in the 8th house from  his Janma lagna.  Saturn is  in the 12th  house from Janma  lagna.  In  Navamsha and  Dashamasha chart Saturn  aspect the 12th house  only  showing losses in coming mid  terms elections  in USA  for Donald Trump’s Republican Party which is in  power  at present.

Furthermore, the influence of the ‘Surya Sankranti’ (solar ingress) suggests a weakening of the leadership in both Israel and the United States; consequently, the aggressive policies pursued by these nations against Iran in the Middle East may begin to lose some momentum. Additionally, at the time of the ‘Tula Sankranti’  (Sun’s ingress into Libra), the fourth aspect of a debilitated Mars upon the Sun serves as an astrological indicator for rising costs of food and essential commodities, significant volatility in the stock market, and a temporary increase in the price of gold.
