Solar Ingress of the Sun in Cancer 2025- What it foretells for India and the World ?

July 21, 2025 By Sachin Malhotra

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.

This annular solar eclipse will have a long duration, which is a very alarming planetary indication.

Rare Green Comet and Brihat Samhita’s Rules for Forecasting Earthquakes

February 15, 2023 By Sachin Malhotra

The green comet has been in the sky for nearly about a month since middle of January 2023. The comet has now travelled outwards away from earth in its orbit and will not be visible in the skies above the Earth for next fifty thousand’s years. As per the classical text of Mundane astrology ‘Brihat Samhita, which was written in 5th century AD, if the comets are visible in the sky or stars break then there will be earthquakes in the constellation of fire circle i.e. Agnay Mandal. Pushya, Kritika, Visakha, Bharani, Magha, Purva-Phalguni and Purvabhadrapada are Nakshatra’s or constellation of fire circle as per Brihat Samhita. Coincidentally, the earthquake that occurred in Turkey and Syria was in the constellation Magha of the fire circle (Agni Mandal). On the day of 6th of February Moon as in Magha Nakshatra in the constellation of fire circle.

Turkey and Syria Earthquake has left hundreds of thousands (lakhs) people homeless and took the lives of more than 35 thousand in the devastation which is increasing day by day. Three days before this earthquake, a geologist from the Netherlands had predicted on Twitter that a big earthquake could happen anytime in the countries of Middle East Asia. Now the same Dutch researcher Frank Hoogerbeets is claiming that in the coming few days, a major earthquake may occur in Afghanistan as well, which may affect a large area of Pakistan and India. According to Hoogerbeets this seismic activity will start from Afghanistan will end in the Indian ocean after crossing Pakistan and India.

Duct Scientist Predict Earthquake in Afghanistan, Pakistan and India

Astrological Yoga’s for seismic activity

Renowned astrologer of the last century, Dr. BV Raman has given some astrological formulas after extracting the horoscope (planetary position) of more than 200 major earthquakes. In his book ‘Astrology in Predicting Weather and Earthquakes’ at page number 66 Dr. Raman has given some important clues along with some examples of his past predictions about Earthquakes.

According to Garga Samhita, earthquakes mostly occur around eclipse, Full moon or new moon.

When major planets like Mars, Saturn, Rahu and Jupiter are in mutual Kendra (Square) or Trikona (Trine) then there is more possibility of earthquakes. Major earthquakes mostly occur during midnight, noon or early morning.

When the big planets are in the signs of the earth element (Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn) or the signs of the air element like Aquarius, Libra or Gemini, then very severe earthquakes can occur.

At the time of the Turkey and Syria earthquakes, Mars was in the earthy sign Taurus and Saturn was transiting in the airy sign Aquarius. Venus was also in Aquarius and the Sun was moving in the earthy sign Capricorn. The earthquake occurred in the early hours of the morning, the next day after the full moon of February 5th, 2023.

[Hindi] तुर्किये और सीरिया के बाद क्या भारत में भी आ सकता है भूकंपन ? क्या कहता है ज्योतिषशास्त्र ?

At the time of Full Moon of the 5^th of February Mars was in Taurus in earthy sign with declination of more than 24 degrees which make it ‘out of bound’ motion. On the next day when Moon reached in Magha Nakshatra an earthquake of 7.8 magnitude occurred at Turkey-Syria border which affected both these countries badly.

Omens to be seen in nature before a big earthquake

In the classical text Brihat Samhita a complete chapter has been dedicated towards earthquake forecasting. In the chapter number 32 ‘Bhukampa Lakshana Adhyay’ some major omens have been mentions which are to be observed in forecasting earthquakes.

According to Acharya Varahamihira, before an earthquake in the constellations of Vyavya Mandal , there is smoke in the sky all around, dusty storms, and the rays of the sun slow down. In the constellations of the fire circle, before the earthquake, stars break or meteorite falls, Digdaah is seen, strong wind and forest fire are also observed. Coincidentally, the earthquake that occurred in Turkey and Syria was in the constellation Magha of the fire circle (Agni Mandal). On that day, a green comet was seen in the sky, which had appeared earlier from the earth 50 thousand years ago. According to Varahamihira, the effect of these omens can last for two months.

Effects of Appearance of Green Comet

Therefore, due to the effect of this green comet, if any other earthquake occurs in the next two months around new moon or full moon then it will not be a surprise. But we would like to repeat here once again that the intensity of the earthquake and its direction is very difficult to forecast. In the ‘Ketu-Chaar-Adhyay’ chapter number 11 of Brihat Samhita the effects of the visibility of different comet’s in the sky has been discussed in details. As per the sloka number 11 of this chapter the appearance of Green comet can give devastating fire accidents.

As per ‘Bhukampa Lakshan Adhya’ chapter number 32, at the time of appearance of a comet there is a danger of an earthquake in Agnay Mandal Nakshatra which are Pushya, Kritika, Vishakha, Bharinim Magha, Poorva Bhadra Pada and Poorva Phalguni. So during the transit of Moon from the above mention Nakshatra’s around the time of coming full Moon or New Moon there will be a danger of an earthquake and also a major fire accident.

The new moon of 20th February and the full moon of 7th March are very sensitive to natural calamities such as earthquakes and danger for the big leaders according to planetary calculations.

Full Moon Horoscope

7 March 2023, 18:10 hours at Delhi

At the time of Full Moon of 7 March 2023 Moon is in Poorva Phalguni Nakshtra and would be in Kendra from major planets Saturn and Mars. The Nakshatra of Poorva Phalguni comes into ‘Agnaya Mandala’ which is very sensitive for an earthquake due to the appearance of the comet recently. At the time of Full Moon of 7^th of March 2023 Mars would be in ‘out of bound’ motion as it is more than 21 degrees of declination. Thus, there will be a danger of an earthquake in the North-Western parts of India around the area of Hindukush region of Pakistan and Afghanistan. This earthquake may be measured for more than 7 at rector scale but it will not cause much damage as it was in case of Turkey-Syria earthquake recently.

Solar Eclipse of 26 December 2019- What Stars Foretell for India ?

December 24, 2019 By Sachin Malhotra

The coming solar eclipse of 26th of December 2019 is very unique in terms of planetary position. At the time of this eclipse 5 planets Sun, Moon, Mercury, Jupiter and Saturn will be conjoined with shadow planet Ketu (Moon’s south node). In Hindu Astrology Rahu and Ketu are shadow planets who affects Sun and Moon at the time of an eclipse. Interestingly on the 5th of February 1962 there was a solar eclipse in Capricorn (Makar Rashi) when all the 7 planets were with Ketu. The effects of that eclipse was tremendous on world politics; Cuba Missile Crisis between USA and Soviet Union almost led these nations at the brink of war. In 1962 India had to suffer a humiliating defeat by China in a major war. Now it is almost after 58 years such big solar eclipse is occurring which is likely to have a deep impact on the world politics and also on weather. The solar eclipse of 26th of December 2019 can put India and Pakistan at loggerhead in Kashmir. It can also bring at least two earthquakes; One in the Indian sub-continent and other in south-East Asia.

Horoscope of Solar Eclipse of 26th December 2019

26 December 2019, 10:43 hours at Delhi

77E 13’ and 28N 40’

At the time of Solar Eclipse of 26^th of December the Sun and Moon will be in Sagittarius the 8^th house of the foundation horoscope of India. A five planets conjunction in Sagittarius shows a war like situation, death of important leaders and a dangerous earthquake. Moola Nakshatra in Koorma Chakra shows west direction so an earthquake in the western part of India is possible. The Sagittarius also shows east direction which also shows a danger of tremors. Also notice the aspects of Mars and Saturn on the ascendant of the New Moon chart at the time of this solar eclipse which shows danger of violence which can affect Kashmir and some other parts with terrorist activities shocking the entire nation. In Navamsa Mars is in the 8^th and Saturn in the 12^th shows these losses. Notice the affliction to Mercury and Jupiter by Ketu and Saturn in fiery sign Sagittarius which shows trade wars, fall of stock market and global recession around the time of this solar eclipse. It has been observed that transit of Saturn-Jupiter in fiery signs (Aries, Leo and Sagittarius) generally bring economic and food price crisis around the world. At the time of 2007-2008 global economic and food price crisis the Saturn was in Leo and Jupiter was in Sagittarius. Now this coming solar eclipse of 26^th of December 2019 indicate the same kind of crisis for world economy and our food security.

Extreme cold wave foreseen from last week of December 2019

At the time of solar eclipse of 26^th of December there will be a conjunction of five planets in one sign which is a yoga for extreme weather disturbances. Sun, Moon, Mercury, Jupiter and Saturn would be in Sagittarius then. Mars will enter into watery sign Scorpio on the day of eclipse which will bring extremely heavy snow falls and avalanche in the Himalayan region of India. A fast moving cold wave from the 26^th of December onward will break the records of many decades of past winter seasons not only in India but in many other countries. There will also be some untimely rainfall in the Northern states like Delhi-NCR, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh around the time of solar eclipse of 26^th of December.

At the time of solar eclipse Mars, Jupiter and Saturn, three major planets, will be in watery Navamshas. Mars and Jupiter are in Cancer sign in Navamsha. Saturn is in the Navamsha of Scorpio a full watery sign. In the Rashi chart Mars is in Scorpio and Venus is in Capricorn which is also considered a semi-watery sign in astro-meteorology. This again confirm the possibility of extremely heavy snowfall and blizzard immediately after the solar eclipse.

The cold wave will affect the most in eastern part of the world with countries like China, Japan, South and North Korea coming under the grip of record breaking cold wave. In the northern hemisphere the Australia will witness extremely hot summer with temperature crossing 48 degree Celsius mark on many occasions.

Two earthquakes foreseen after the solar eclipse of 26th of December 2019

At the time of this solar eclipse Sun and Moon are in airy Navamsha Gemini. There is a conjunction of major planets Saturn and Jupiter in Rashi chart. The luminaries in airy or earthy Navamsha and major planets in conjunction can give earthquake around the time of an eclipse. Moon and Mercury are also in the same Nakshtra in superior conjunction which also indicate a strong earthquake which could be more than 7.1 at rector scale giving tremors in large part of Indian sub-continent.

If we see the ‘Koorma Chakra’ cast at the time of solar eclipse we can find most of the planets placed in the west and north direction. So a strong earthquake and cyclone can come around the solar eclipse of 26^th of December in the North and/or West direction which would give losses to lives and properties at very large scale.

Apart from this the east direction indicated by fiery sign Sagittarius also shows a danger of earthquake in Assam, Japan and China during the fortnight starting from 26^th of December 2019.

Eclipse may affect health of these famous personalities

As per Brihat Samhita an eclipse in Dhanu Rashi (Sagittarius sign) affect the most to ministers, rulers of countries, army personals, doctors, sports persons, weapon merchants, technical professionals and big merchants. In the next 6 months these people are likely to get affected worst. Among the Indian politicians Rahu Gandhi having his natal Moon in Sagittarius may face court cases, Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh with his Dhanu lagna horoscope and Orissa Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik having his Moon in Gemini will see serious health troubles. The Queen Elizabeth II of England born in Dhanu lagna may leave her throng in the next year due to the affect of this big solar eclipse. Tibetan religious leader Dalai Lama is likely to face serious health issues in next 6 months as he was born in Gemini lagna with this solar eclipse affecting his 7th house along with malefic Saturn-Mars Vimshottari dasha in operation.

West Bengal signifies by Gemini sign, Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand signifies by Sagittarius sign and Nepal also will get affected badly by some natural calamity after this solar eclipse. Since at the time of this solar eclipse Jupiter is in own sign so the demand for gold will be low and so is its price. But because of Saturn and Sun in fiery sign there will be rise in the prices of food grains. In the next few months Iran-Iraq tension’s in the middle-east can bring rise in the prices of petrol and diesel in India.
