Solar Ingress of Virgo 2025- What it foretells for India and the world ?

September 22, 2025 By Sachin Malhotra

In mundane astrology, the horoscope formed at the time of the Sun’s zodiac change is called the Surya Sankranti Kundali or Solar Ingress chart. Since, according to geocentric astrological theory, the Sun remains in a zodiac sign for 30 days, so the solar ingress horoscope and its planetary positions are given special importance for the economic, social, and political predictions for a period of month. On Tuesday, September 17th, at 1:47 am Indian standard time, on the Ekadashi of the Krishna Paksha (11th days of the darker half) of Bhadrapada lunar month, the Sun has entered the Virgo zodiac sign. According to Bhavishyaphal Bhaskar, a treatise on mundane astrology, if Kanya Sankranti falls on Tuesday, there is a risk of disease and the prices of sugarcane and grains may rise. The Indian state of Kerala is facing a surge of a deadly brain eating amoeba which will create more problems in the coming days.

This year, the Sun, in Virgo, will be forming an opposition with its enemy Saturn, which is transiting in Pisces, creating an inauspicious “Samsaptak” Yoga, which will lead to discord among kings and possible mass protests in many countries. Due to the influence of retrograde Saturn aspect on Virgo, aggression by Israel in the middle East and by Russia in Ukraine war will increase. In the Indian context, at the time of the solar ingress the Cancer ascendant is rising and retrograde Saturn being the eighth lord sitting in the ninth house of the Supreme Court and making an inauspicious 1/7 relation with the Sun, there comes an indication of some big decision of the Supreme Court creating tension with the government and the Election Commission may also involve in it.

Conflict between the Election Commission and opposition parties will increase

The Election Commission of India was established on January 25th , 1950, in Delhi. The Election Commission’s establishment horoscope has a Vargottama Libra ascendant. With the ascendant (Libra) being Vargottama in the Navamsa in the Election Commission’s foundation horoscope and the placement of auspicious planets (Jupiter and Venus) in the Kendra (quadrant) , this constitutional institution is known worldwide for conducting fair elections. However, in the past few years, when the Mahadasha of Rahu (sitting in the sixth house of controversy) had started from July 2005 to July 2023 in the Election Commission’s establishment horoscope, the BJP and then the Congress repeatedly accused the Election Commission of irregularities in the electronic voting machines (EVM’s) used for voting.

Astrological predictions about general elections 2024

In my article posted on 2nd of May 2024 i had forecast more controversies for the election commission of India due to a weak Maha Dasha of 3rd and 6th lord Jupiter. In my article ‘Jupiter Dasha in the foundation horoscope of Election Commission of India’ these predictions were given which has not been coming true as since last few months opposition leader Rahul Gandhi has given a couple of presentations on voter list irregularities benefiting the ruling BJP.

For the past two years, the Election Commission has been facing a regular onslaught by the opposition parties. In the Maha Dasha of Jupiter, the Election Commission is being accused by the opposition parties of tampering with the voter list at the behest of the ruling BJP. In the horoscope of the Election Commission, the conjunction of the tenth lord Moon with Rahu in the sixth house of controversy and the transit of Saturn over it is an astrological combination of increasing this voter list controversy. On 17th September, the Sun entering virgo and transiting over Ketu in the twelfth house of losses in the foundation horoscope of the Election Commission will intensify the conflict between the Commission and the opposition parties.

Total Lunar Eclipse of 14th of March 2025 – What it foretells for the USA and rest of the world ?

March 4, 2025 By Sachin Malhotra

This year, the biggest lunar eclipse of the last three years will be seen in America at the midnight of 13/14 March, during which the color of the Moon will appear somewhat red. According to the astronomy experts , this lunar eclipse is the biggest total lunar eclipse after the lunar eclipse visible in the year 2022. The total duration of this full lunar eclipse will be 3 hours and 38 minutes. According to the classical text of mundane astrology in Hindi named ‘Adbhut Sagar’ , ” Should the Moon is seen in red color in the night sky , then it is bad for the king and disastrous for the country. The crown prince and the commander are killed. The people are unrighteous, that is, big scandals emerge in the society.” Since this total lunar eclipse is especially visible in the continent of America and Australia, then the security of big officials and ministers there can be a big threat in the next 3 months.

If seen from the point of view of transit principals , then at the time of this lunar eclipse, the royal sign Leo is afflicted which indicate a big leaders will suffer and heart disease and stomach diseases will increase among the common people. At the time of the lunar eclipse, the position of Saturn will be in Aquarius at close degrees to the Sun. The combustion of Saturn will be bad for masses in general and also for labor class. the

Chart 1. Horoscope of Total Lunar Eclipse

There will be conjunction of the Sun in Aquarius in close degrees with its enemy Saturn , and their combined aspect will afflict the Moon in Leo and bring about major seasonal changes like intense heat in some places and abnormal rainfall in some places, which will particularly affect India. Immediately after the eclipse, the number of patients suffering from stomach diseases, infections, fever etc. will increase in North and Central parts of India due to seasonal changes. Gujarat, Maharashtra, Karnataka and Chhattisgarh may experience higher than the normal temperature for the season due to the influence of malefic planets on the Leo and Virgo signs. Abnormal rainfall may occur in some areas of South India and Odisha and Andhra Pradesh as transiting Venus, Mercury and Rahu in watery sign Pisces indicates.

USA may impose trade tariff on India

After taking oath on the 20th of January this year, Donald Trump unexpectedly stopped military and financial aid to many of his allied nations particularly to Ukraine. Donald Trump is now following the advice of former secretary of state Henry Kissinger who had pushed Trump to work with Russia in order to contain China. Henry Kissinger has given this suggestion to Donald Trump during his first tenure in 2016. Interestingly it was Kissinger who had pushed Richard Nixon towards making diplomatic relations with China in 1970’s so that USA can isolate Soviet Union then. Now Donald Trump’s potential strategy is to have good relations with Putin’s Russia to contain the rising influence of China which is the bigger enemy of USA at present particularly after COVID 19.

The stock market of America is on the decline since Donald Trump imposed additional trade tariff on Canada, Mexico and China. Now on the night of 14 March, when the eclipse will occur in Leo, it will afflict the birth ascendant of Donald Trump (born on 14 June 1946 in New York at 10:52 am).In the foundation horoscope of Independent India (15 August 1947, midnight, Delhi) the Moon is in Cancer, due to which the eclipsed Moon in the second house of wealth can harm India’s economic interests.

Chart 2. Horoscope of Donald Trump

Donald Trump can put pressure on India to open its market more liberally for American products by imposing trade duty. The condition of the Indian stock market can also remain somewhat unstable in the second fortnight of March month. The Vimshottari Dasha of Jupiter-Venus-Sun from 16th of March 2025 to 3rd of May 2025 is bad for Donald Trump’s health.

Danger of cyclone and abnormal rainfall

The horoscope of the lunar eclipse of 14th of March will be made at 2:53 am according to the local time of USA at Washington DC , when the Sagittarius ascendant would be rising at the capital city. At the time of eclipse, the Moon will be in Uttara-Phalguni Nakshatra, which indicates the south direction as per the Kurma Chakra. Due to a sea storm in the Gulf of Mexico in the south of the United States, there may be loss of life and property in some cities of America and Mexico in the next 30 days. There will be a possibility of some damage to crops due to abnormal rainfall in Orissa and Andhra Pradesh in the south-east of India. l The conjunction of Mercury and Venus with Rahu at the time of eclipse is creating turmoil in the business world and the possibility of sex scandals.

Oath Taking horoscope of Donald Trump 2.0 – Will he complete his tenure ?

January 26, 2025 By Sachin Malhotra

In the historic elections held in the USA on November 5 th last year, Republican Party leader Donald Trump returned to power after 4 years by defeating Democratic Party’s presidential candidate Kamala Harris who is of an Indian origin. Under the leadership of Donald Trump, the Republican Party has secured a simple majority in both the US Senate and the lower house of the American Congress, which will now help them to pass some important bills. With the far-right Donald Trump securing a majority in both the US Senate and Congress, some fears and apprehensions are floating in the minds of the liberals of the USA The immigrants living illegally or deficient documents are especially losing their sleep. As per the oath taking horoscope of Donald Trump, his birth chart and the Hindu New Year Horoscopes of USA for coming 4 years it appears that President Donald Trump will not be able to complete his tenure.

It is interesting to note that originally the US constitution had set the Presidential inauguration on the 4th of March but in 1933, the 20th Amendment shortened the lengthy gap between the elections (November first week) and the swearing-in timings. The transition period from November elections to January swearing-in of US President has been kept considering crucial for the president-elect to assemble a team, nominate cabinet members and begin formulating key policies. For this reason President Trump was able to sign dozens of executive orders to overturn about 70 key policy decisions of the previous Biden administration {Refer link – https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/jan/20/tump-executive-orders-list }

During Donald Trump’s first term (November 2016 to November 2020), additional import duty on goods imported from China and India, strict sanctions on Iran, stopping illegal immigrants from Mexico, strengthening diplomatic relations with Russia and North Korea, etc., shocking decisions had surprised the whole world. On the January 20th 2025 , at 12:02 pm, Donald Trump, took oath of his office and immediately afterwards signed important executive orders such as declaring emergency at South border with Mexico to stop illegal immigration, renaming the Gulf of Mexico, Leaving the world health organization (WHO), ending birth right citizenship, declaring a national energy emergency etc.

Chart 1. Oath Taking horoscope of Donald Trump 2.0

Tithi: Krishna Saptami, Day- Monday , Nakshatra – Chitra , Yoga- Sukarma, Karana- Vishti and Hora at birth is of the Sun.

But by declaring a state of emergency Southern border, he imposed a ban on the illegal immigrants coming from Mexico. In the oath taking horoscope of Donald Trump of Aries ascendant, the ascendant lord Mars is sitting in its sign of debilitation in Cancer in the fourth house of the throne in a retrograde state, which may inspire Trump to take some shocking decisions in the coming days in a very quick and most erratic manner. Since Mars is Ati Vakri i.e. retrograde in extreme speed so he may also have to roll back many of his important decision. Already four US states has put up cases in Federal Courts challenging Donald Trump’s decision of pardoning the accused of the January 6th Capital hill violence in 2021 and also the order ending citizenship at birth.

Trump’s havoc can break out on Iran this year

As soon as he won the election in November last year, Donald Trump created a stir in international politics by expressing his desire to take over the Panama Canal and Greenland by the US government. Trump put Justin Trudeau under pressure by announcing additional duty on goods imported from Canada, due to which his own party forced him to resign from the post of Prime Minister of the country in January this year. Canada is already under economic crisis and we had discuss her foundation horoscope in detail at this blog earlier. Now, in Donald Trump’s Aries lagna oath taking horoscope, due to Mars’ aspect on the tenth house of power and the seventh house of foreign policy, there are clear astrological indications of the return of the era of America’s pressurizing and threatening international diplomacy. In the Navamsa of the oath taking horoscope Mars being in the tenth house is giving aspects to the ascendant which will make Donald Trump very aggressive in its second tenure.

Saturn too, by aspecting the ascendant of the Navamsha of the oath taking horoscope, can inspire Trump to run the US government in a very autocratic manner. This will naturally create fear in the enemy countries of America, including Iran, especially in April-May this year when the inauspicious conjunction of Saturn and Rahu in transit will be afflicting the Pisces sign. By increasing its military activities in the Persian Gulf and Syria, America can also carry out a surgical strike on some of Iran’s nuclear installations this year along with Israel who is already eying on to destroy the nuclear capabilities of Iran.

More Troubles for India-USA relations

I have been forewarning this time and again in my articles on this blog and also at Hindi News Paper Navbhart Times dot com about problems in India-USA relations. The transiting Saturn from Aquarius is afflicting the natal Moon of the foundation horoscope of USA (4 July 1776, 10:20 a.m. at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA) and for India the transiting Saturn is in the 8th house of her natal Moon in Cancer which is ‘Ashtam Shani’ Gochar. India is set to take 18,000 citizens from the USA who are undocumented immigrants. Many more Indian’s will be deported back from USA in humiliated manner in the next 2 years. Donald Trump has also threatened BRICS nations with 100% tariff over their de-dollarization policy i.e. trading between themselves without using USA dollar. Trumps policy of trade hegemony is all set to present new dangers for the emerging economies of India, Brazil, South Africa, Indonesia etc. who were looking to trade in local currencies.

Weak Moon in Trump’s oath taking horoscope

The position of the Moon is very important in the oath taking horoscope. In the swearing-in horoscope of Donald Trump the Moon as the lord of the 4th house (rulers throne) is badly placed in the 6th house of disputes and disease and is in conjunction with Ketu (i.e. South Node of the Moon). Although the aspect of Jupiter as the 9th lord on the Moon is good but the Moon is in Kemadruma Yoga as there is no planet on either side of it. The Moon is in the Navamsha of the Sun in Leo which is bad for the health of Donald Trump.

Trump can get into troubles in the year 2026-2027

Donald Trump, born on 14 June 1946 in New York at 10:52 am, has amazing Rajyoga’s in his birth chart . In the Leo ascendant horoscope of Donald Trump, the Yogakaraka Mars placed in the ascendant is involve in a ‘Neech Bhang’ Rajyoga by aspecting the debilitated Moon sitting in the fourth house of property. Rahu sitting in the tenth house of power is conjoined with the ascendant lord the Sun and aspected by the 5th lord Jupiter, is the second big Rajyoga of his horoscope. In Navamsha chart Taurus lagna is rising where Yogakaraka Saturn is in Raja Yoga with lagna lord Venus. The mutual aspect of 2nd and 5th lord Mercury with the 11th lord Jupiter is a good Dhana Yoga in his Navamsha chart.

Chart 2. Birth chart of Donald Trump

On the strength of the above mentioned big Raja Yoga’s and Dhana Yoga’s , Trump, born in a rich family, after getting success in property, luxury, entertainment industry, created a history by winning the presidential elections of 2016 and then in 2024. At present Donald Trump is under an enigmatic Vimshottari Dasha of Jupiter and Anter Dasha of Venus from October 2024 to June 2027 which will make him creating troubles for many countries with the arrogance, vulgarity and unconventional decisions in his behavior and politics. Venus is Vargottama but it is in her enemy sign in Cancer and falls in the 12th house along with the 6th (diseses and disputes) and 7th (killer) house a Maraka. This Anter Dasha of Venus till June 2027 is also dangerous for Donald Trump’s health and security. It will not allow him to complete his tenure.

The configuration of planets in the Hindu New Year horoscope (Pisces New Moon) of the 2026 and 2027 for the USA are also not good.

Chart 3. Hindu New Year Horoscope of USA 2026

In the Hindu New year chart of 2026 (chart 3) the King of the New Year is Jupiter which is the lord of the 3rd and 6th houses. The lagna lord Venus falls in the 6th house along with the luminaries and also 4th lord Saturn. The aspect of Saturn on the 8th house and the aspect of Mars on the 8th is dangerous for the health of the ruler.

Chart 4. Hindu New Year Horoscope of USA 2027

The Hindu New Year horoscope of 2027 for USA (chart 4) is even more dangerous as the luminaries are placed in the 7th house of war and violence. The King of the New year is Mercury which is good in Rashi chart but afflicted by malefic planets in Navamsha, Dashamasha and Shastiamsha. The year 2027 will be difficult for USA economy and there could be some civil unrest also due to the bad policies of Republican government.

As per the study of the oath taking chart of Donald Trump (chart 1) it appears that he may have to roll back many of his important policy decisions due to the pressure from civil society, Federal courts, opposition parties and independent media in the country. Donald Trump will also face many controversies, health issues and danger to his security during 2026-27 which will not allow him to complete his tenure.

Planets and US Presidential Elections 2020

November 21, 2019 By Sachin Malhotra

In United States the democrats and republican have dominated the political scene since American civil war (1861 to 1865). Since we do not have any horoscope of these two major political parties so for forecasting the US elections the horoscope of presidential nominees have to be rely upon. The current US President Donald Trump is from Republican Party who is now facing an impeachment against him. In Democratic Party Joe Biden is leading in the race for the presidential nominee as compare to other contenders like Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders. Let us analysis the horoscopes of Donald Trump and Joe Biden to astrologically assess the outcome of US Presidential elections in November 2020.

Balance of Dasha in Vimshottari: Mercury 2 years 5 months 9 days

Donald Trump had become president of USA by defeating Democratic Party’s Hilary Clinton in a tight contest in November 2016. I had made a predictions about Donald Trump becoming the US President which was published in Modern Astrology in early 2016 and also on my blog post ” US Presidential Elections 2016: the verdict of planets”. At that time Trump was passing under Vimshottari dasha of Rahu-Mars (November 2015 to November 2016). Trump was born on the day of a lunar eclipse. In his horoscope lagan lord Sun and Moon are in close conjunction with Rahu and Ketu respectively. But then Sun is in the 10^th house receiving the aspect of 5^th lord Jupiter which is a Raja Yoga. Moon is debliteated in the 4^th house but its sign lord Mars, which is Yoga Karaka planet here, is giving aspect to it thus Moon also get involve in a Raja Yoga. Immediately after his election he got the maha dasha of Jupiter which as the 5^th lord is well placed in the 2^nd house. It was no surprise that economy of USA was achieving a growth rate of around 3% under Trump’s rule and unemplyment rate was lowest at 3.7%.

But then this Jupiter is retrograde and receiving the aspect of Saturn, which is a functional malefic, from the 12^th house of losses. Because of some controversial decisions on immigration policy, trade war with China and coming out of ‘Paris climate change accord’ he received lots of criticism. See Jupiter which is debliteated in the Dashmasha chart has to give him some humiliation at office. Then on the basis of the Swearing-in horoscope of Donald Trump i had given forecast about the declining status of USA as sole superpower. The isolationist stand of Donald Trump and his ‘America First’ policy has given a long term damage to US foreign policy.

Now he will be fighting for his re-election when Vimshottari dasha of Jupiter-Saturn (January 2019 to July 2021) would be running in his horoscope. Saturn is in the 12^th house of losses in birth chart. It is Vargottama but in Dashamsha it is in the 6^th house of disputes. Saturn’s lordship of 6^thand 7^th house also shows that Trump will get involve USA in some dangerous war in 2020. The 7^th house signifies war. USA may get involve in a war with Iran during 2020 which will badly affect the presidential campaign of Donald Trump.

So despite a tough fight he may lose election. In Chara dasha period of Cancer-Pisces (June 2020 to February 2021) would be running which is not very supportive. Cancer is the 12^th house from lagna and Pisces is the 8^th house. Cancer get the aspect of Amatayakaraka Moon which shows some tough contest but no sign of victory.

Balance of Dasha in Vimshottari: Ketu 2 years 10 months 1 days

Joe Biden is senior democratic party leader who served as vice president from 2009 to 2017. He was first elected to US senate in 1972 and then got re-elected for six time before becoming vice president in 2009. In his Vrischik lagna horoscope there is a very strong Gaja Kesari yoga. Moon is in Aries getting the aspect of its sign lord Mars. Jupiter as the 5^th lord is exalted in the 9^th house of luck. In year 2009 during Jupiter-Saturn dasha in Vimshottari he got elected as the US vice president. Saturn is in the 7^th house of ‘Pada-Prapati’ receiving the aspect of 7^th lord Venus and 10^th lord Sun which is a good Yoga.

Now during Jupiter-Rahu dasha in Vimshottari (April 2020 to September 2022) he would be challenging Donald Trump for US president post. Rahu is in Leo and its depositor Sun is strongly placed in the lagna. Jupiter and Rahu are in 2/12 position which is a little worry but then both are very strong in Navamsha chart. In Dashamsha Rahu is placed in the lagna which is excellent and its depositor Venus is in 11^th house of gains. Jupiter in Dashamsha aspect the 10^th house of power. At the time of US presidential elections he would be under Jupiter-Rahu-Jupiter in Vimshottari which is promising a victory.

A conditional dasha Dwisapatati Sama Dasha is also applicable in Joe Biden’s horoscope. In Dwisapatati Sama Dasha he is under Mars-Mercury (29 August 2019 to 13 October 2020) at present. Mars as the 6th and lagna lord is in the 12th house but it is in mutual aspect with 9th lord Moon so it is a Raja Yoga. Mercury as the 8th lord in the 12th house makes a Veepreet Raja Yoga. Then Mercury is also the 11th house lord of gains. Later Mars-Jupiter will start from 13 October 2020. So in the final phase of US Elections Joe Biden will get the most favorable dasha which will help him to impress people in Presidential debates. Jupiter is in excellent Gaja Kesari yoga which is promising to give him top position in his country’s politics.

In Jaimini Chara dasha Joe Biden would be under Sagittarius-Leo period (August 2020 to March 2021) which is very promising. Sagittarius is 2^nd house from Janma lagna and 3^rd from his Atamakaraka Mercury. Leo is 10^th house from Janma lagna and 11^th from his Atamakaraka Mercury. Leo get the Jaimini aspects of Atamakaraka Mercury and Amatayakaraka Mars both which is a Raja Yoga. So Joe Biden’s horoscope is under very promising period which will make him next US president.
