The Sun had entered Cancer sign (Karaka Rashi) on the 16th July at 5:32 PM as per the Indian Standard Time. The Sun remains in one sign (Rashi) for 30 days. Every year, the horoscopes cast at the time of transit of Sun in 12 signs are used in Mundane astrology for prediction of economic, social, agriculture, weather, rise and fall of the prices commodities etc. In hundreds of almanac published in India you can see these solar ingress (Surya Samkranti) charts discussed along with lunar horoscopes (Paksha Kundali). When the transit Sun especially enters the moveable signs Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn, then the horoscope of that time holds more importance in these predictions. The time of Sun entering the sign is called ‘Sankranti’, whose Tithi (lunar day) , yoga, position of Sun from the Moon, lunar month etc. and the planetary position are used in making certain predictions in mundane astrology as per the ancient Hindu system.
Chart 1. Sun Enters into Cancer Sign
This year’s solar ingress of Cancer i.e. Karka Samkranti is on Shashti Tithi of Shravan Krishna Paksha (6th lunar day of the darker half of Shravana month) , Wednesday, Uttarbhadra pada Nakshatra, Atigand Yoga and Vanij Karan. According to Bhavishya Bhaskar, if Karka Sankranti falls on Wednesday, then there will be good rains and grains (grains) will be cheap and people will get happiness from abroad i.e. in trading from foreign land. Currently, the Shadashtak relation (6/8 relation) formed by the transit of Mars in Leo and Saturn in Pisces is not auspicious for politicians, especially for big ruling leaders. The month of August will be somewhat sensitive for the security of big leaders.
Retrograde Saturn will cause abnormal rainfall
This month, on 13th July, Saturn has changed from direct motion to retrograde motion in Pisces and will remain retrograde till 28th of November this year. When the distance from the Sun is more, the speed of the planet in transit decreases, due to which, when seen from the Earth, it appears to be moving towards the west i.e. backwards among the stars in the Zodiac, which is called a retrograde motion of the planet. In Mundane astrology, when Saturn is retrograde and Jupiter is at the same time in a fast moving motion, the results are said to be abnormal rainfall, earthquakes, downfall of kings and loss of life and wealth due to natural calamities.
Currently, Jupiter is at the fast speed (Atichari) due to transiting in the previous sign from the Sun and Saturn is retrograde i.e. in slow motion in transit due to transiting away from the Sun in the ninth house. Because of this transit of major planets in the next 30 days, there may be loss of life and property due to incidents of cloudburst etc. in some hilly states, while the rainfall will be less in South India influenced by Virgo. After Mars enters Virgo on 28th July, there may be some reduction in rainfall in some states of North India also especially in Delhi-NCR ruled by Scorpio sign.
Political upheaval will increase
At the time of Surya Sankranti, according to the Indian standard time, Sagittarius ascendant is rising. In the solar ingress horoscope (chart 1) , the tenth lord (rule) Mercury being in the enemy sign Cancer and being in the eighth house with the ninth lord Sun is a combination of political upheaval. In India, mutual disputes will arise among the big leaders of the central government. After Mars enters Virgo on 28th July, in the month of August, pressure may come on Prime Minister Modi from some leaders of the RSS and his own party to take retirement on completing the 75 years of age.
Chart 2. Foundation Horoscope of Israel
In Middle East Asia, tension will once again increase in Iran and Israel in the month of August. The Maha Dasha of Rahu running in the horoscope of Israel of Virgo ascendant and the dangerous opposition of Saturn-Mars in transit at the Virgo and Pisces axis is showing astrological indication of an attack on Israel by Yemen’s Houthi rebels and Iran in the month of August. Petrol and diesel prices may increase a bit in the month of August. Some turmoil is being seen in the stock market also after the 28th of July.
Chart 3. Full Moon
9 August 2025, 13:24 hours at Delhi
In the month of August, especially on the full moon of 9th of August, Jupiter will be in Gemini, Saturn in Pisces and Mars in Virgo, being in dual nature signs and will be in mutual angles (Kendra Position) . This planetary disposition is a Yoga for the loss of life and property due to earthquake and war. A noticeable point here is the conjunction of Venus and Jupiter in the sign Gemini. As per the classical texts Mayu Chitram the conjunction of Venus and Jupiter is a yoga for loss of lives and properties. Due to the intensification of war in Russia-Ukraine, America will intervene in this region through NATO military alliance. USA may give dangerous long range missiles to Ukraine for attacking major cities of Russia. Yogas of big earthquakes are being formed in Greece and Turkey influenced by Virgo sign around the full moon of 9th August. As per Ptolemy, the father of Western Astrology, Virgo signify Turkey and Greece.
