This month, on February 13th at 4:09 am (Indian Standard Time), the Sun will transit into Aquarius. According to Hindu astrology, the Sun’s transit through a zodiac sign lasts for 30 days, and its effects are assessed through the horoscope formed at the time of the Sun’s entry into the zodiac sign. This year, at the time of the Sun’s entry into Aquarius, we are getting the Sagittarius ascendant rising. The Moon as the 8th lord in the ascendant, and Jupiter, the lord of the ascendant, will be giving aspect to it from the seventh house. In the third house of the sports , the Sun is placed as the lord of the ninth house along with 11th lord (gains) Venus, and also Mercury, the lord of the tenth house. All these planets are forming a very strong Rajyoga and Dhan yoga together. Rahu, also in Aquarius, is in a strong position in the third house. Due to the influence of this yoga, India can achieve great success in the sports world. The Indian team will perform brilliantly in the ongoing T20 World Cup, and there is a strong astrological possibility of them winning this tournament.

Chart 2. Foundation Horoscope of Bangladesh

The fundamentalist “Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami” will fail to form the government in these elections, which is a sign of relief for India. However, due to the Vimshottari Dasha period of the Moon and Anter Dasha of Rahu in the Bangladesh’s foundation horoscope, many prominent fundamentalist leaders of Jamaat-e-Islami may win these elections and will continue to pursue their anti-India agenda while remaining in the opposition. The Anter Dasha lord Rahu is in the 9th house in Rashi and in Navamsha it is in the 8th house showing some communal violence after the election results.

Chart 3. Foundation Horoscope of USA

Contradictions between the leaders of the two countries may increase before and shortly after the signing of the trade deal between India and the United States in March. In the foundation horoscope of ( 4th of July 1776, 10:20 a.m. at Philadelphia, USA) the difficult Vimshottari Dasha of Rahu and the Anter Dasha of Saturn is currently underway.

The Maha Dasha of Rahu and the Anter Dasha of Saturn is till September 2026 during which many prominent personalities will get embarrassed due to their links with Jeffrey Epstein the kingpin of this major sex scandal who died in 2019.

In the foundation chart of USA, the transit of Sun, Rahu, Mercury, and Venus over the Moon in Aquarius in the 7th house could put the government and leadership in a very uncomfortable situation. In the foundation chart of India (August 15, 1947, midnight, Delhi), Taurus ascendant is rising, where the inauspicious Vimshottari Dasha of Mars and the Anter Dasha of Rahu placed in the lagna is running which will be difficult for the central government in the next 30 days.

The full aspect of Mars, the Sun, Mercury, and Venus on Ketu, placed in the ninth house in the Solar Ingress of Aquarius horoscope (chart 1) , is astrologically likely to cause a setback to the state government or the central government due to an important decision of the Supreme Court.

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.

The Samsaptaka Yog of Sun-Saturn and the conjunction of Jupiter-Mars in Mrigasira Nakshatra – What it foretells ?

August 18, 2024 By Sachin Malhotra

This year, at the time of Sun’s entry into Leo (16 August 2024, 7:45 PM, Delhi), all the major planets like Saturn, Jupiter, Mars and the Sun were in mutual Kendra (Square) which is an astrological indication of some major political upheaval as well as natural disasters in the country. According to the Avakhada Chakra of Hindu astrology, the Nakshatra (constellation) of Bengal, especially Calcutta, is Mrigasira and the zodiac sign is Gemini. Mrigasira Nakshatra starts from 23 degrees 20 minutes in Taurus and remains up to 6 degrees 40 minutes in Gemini. Mars will transit in Mrigasira Nakshatra from 16 August to 31 August. Jupiter’s transit in Mrigasira Nakshatra will start from 20 August and due to being retrograde, it will remain in this Nakshatra till 20th of October this year. Due to Mars afflicting Mrigasira constellation, protests may intensify in the next 15 days regarding the heartbreaking rape and murder incident of a medical student in Calcutta recently {Refer news links – https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/kolkata-doctor-rape-murder-case-live-updates-august-16-2024/article68531607.ece }

Chart 1. Horoscope of Sun’s entry into Leo

Due to these protests, there will be pressure on the Trinamool Congress government of West Bengal from all sides and as a result, many big officials of the state will have to be punished. As per the current planetory positions the central India will get relief from floods, but some parts of North and West may get unusually heavy rainfall.

According to the Kurma Chakra, the areas of Central India come under the influence of Mrigasira Nakshatra. There will be some reduction in rainfall in Nagpur and its surrounding areas of Maharashtra. Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh will also get some relief from floods. But in the solar ingress chart of Leo (chart 1) two watery planets Venus and Mercury are transiting ahead of the Sun, due to which there will be heavy rainfall in Gujarat and West Maharashtra signified by Leo sign. In the next 15 days there would be very heavy rainfall in Gujarat and western Maharashtra. In North India, there are chances of good rainfall for the next 15 days in Punjab, Haryana, Delhi and Eastern Rajasthan.

Transit of Jupiter and Mars at close degrees in the earth element sign Taurus and the transit of Saturn in Kendra (Square) from it in the Aquarius sign, is creating the possibility of loss of life and property in India, Iran and Pakistan in the next 30 days due to earthquakes and landslides.

Possible effects of the Sun-Saturn Samsaptaka Yoga

There is an astrological indication of mass movements and the government’s confrontation with the Supreme Court. Any suggestion by the Law Ministry of the Central Government on appointments through the collegium system in higher judiciary can bring a strong reaction from the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court can also start an investigation process related with the new allegations of Hindenburg Research against SEBI and Adani Group. SEBI’s founding horoscope is set for the 30th of January 1992 midnight in Delhi when this regulatory body was formed by the Securities and Exchange Board of India Act 1992.

Chart 2. Foundation Horoscope of SEBI

While the Industry leaders are backing SEBI (Securities and Exchange Board of India) chairperson Madhabi Puri Buch, who is under extreme pressure due to the allegation of US based research firm Hindenburg regarding their alleged investments in the offshore funds connected to Adani Group. The opposition parties in India are demanding the Joint Parliamentary committee on this matter. The foundation horoscope of SEBI (30 January 1992, 00:00 hours at Delhi) is set for the time when this agency got statutory powers under SEBI Act , 1992.

As per the Libra lagna horoscope of SEBI the enigmatic Vimshottaari Dasha of Venus-Saturn-Venus is running from 29th of June 2024 to 8 January 2025. Venus as the lagna and 8th lord is afflicted as it is in conjunction with Rahu and also ‘Maraka’ Mars. The aspect of Jupiter is not helpful as Jupiter is the lord of 3rd and 6th houses and is functional malefic. The Anter Dasha lord Saturn is deep combust by the Sun and is afflicted by Mars in Navamsha is also not good.

We will not be surprise if SEBI chief has to resign any time before the end of this difficult Venus sub-sub period which is ending on the 8th of January next year. The most difficult period for SEBI chief will be after 29th of September this year as per Jaimini Chara Dasha of Aries-Gemini. Amatayakaraka Moon is in the 6th house from Jaimini and is afflicted by natural malefic planets. It will not be a surprise if SEBI chief is asked to resign by the apex court due to conflict of interest in Adani ‘stock manipulation case’.

More Troubles foreseen for Gautam Adani

Hindenburg Research allegation on SEBI (Securities and Exchange Board of India) chief Madhabi Puri Buch has created more troubles from India’s leading businessman Gautam Adani. On the night of 11th of August on Sunday Hindenburg published a report on its website alleging SEBI chief Madhabi having stakes in Bermuda and Mauritius based offshore funds used by Gautam Adani’s brother Vinod Adani to ‘amass and trade large position into Adani Group shares’. Adani brothers are known for their unethical business practices not only in India but also in some other countries for which they were facing an investigation. But thanks to their deep involvement in the ruling power elites of Indian government at center no investigating agency can dare to touch them.

In September 2021 i had discussed the horoscope of Gautam Adani (24 June 1962, 05:15 hours at Ahmadabad, Gujarat) in depth and had forecast that when the transiting Saturn will be hovering over his natal Moon in Purva Bhadrapada Nakshatra in Aquarius sign then he will get into a big trouble in year 2024. I had also forecast that there will be a downfall for him during February 2025 to October 2027 in an enigmatic Vimshottari Dasha of Venus-Jupiter in his Taurus lagna chart. The reader my refer to my article on Gautam Adani’s horoscope the link of which is given below.

Sun-Saturn conjunction in Aquarius and Farmers Protests in 2024

February 14, 2024 By Sachin Malhotra

In Hindu astrology, Saturn is considered to be the planet responsible for farmers and farming. While Saturn represents the farmers and laborers, on the other hand, the Sun is the representative planet of the ruling class. Since last few days there has been major protests of farmers in the Western Europe. Ther unfavorable combination of Saturn and Sun in the solar ingress horoscope is likely to further intensify it. In India a fresh farmers protest is underway as farmers of Punjab, Haryana and Western UP are pressing the government for their long pending demand of bringing a law on the minimum support price (MSP). As per the Koorma Chakra Uttara -Ashadha, Shravana and Dhanishta signify the areas of North and North West covering the state of Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and some areas surrounding Delhi state. The entry of Mars in Capricorn sign on the 6th of February and the solar ingress of the Sun in Aquarius on the 13th of February is further going intensify the farmer’s protest.

Farmers Protest in Europe and India (India Today report)

Since the beginning of this month the farmers of European countries like Spain, Greece, Italy, Belgium, Germany and France etc. have been protesting against their respective governments. The farmers are agitating in Europe due to the environmental policies of European union affecting their work adversely, and the rising costs of farming. They have taken tractors to the capitals of their countries and are protested on the streets against their governments over the economic losses being incurred. The European Union’s policy of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, since February 2022, the cost of fertilizer, urea, increase in labor cost, transport etc., has made farmers suffer huge losses in Europe. Same is the situation with the farmers of India but their demand is for the minimum support price for their farm produce.

Now, it will be interesting to see from the Sankranti horoscope formed at the time of Sun’s transit in Aquarius today, whether this movement of farmers can increase the problems of the Government of India in the election year? The horoscope of Kumbh Sankranti is indicating a big farmer movement in days to come in both India and Europe. If the responsible governments are unable to address the grievances of the farmers then it is feared that during the month of April when the conjunction of Mars and Saturn will took place in Aquarius then these farmers protests can turn violent in many cities of Europe and some parts of India.

Sun-Saturn conjunction and farmer’s protests

Today, on February 13, 2024, at 3:44 pm Indian time, when the Sun will enter Aquarius, the Gemini ascendant will be rising. In this Sankranti horoscope of Gemini ascendant, Mars, the lord of the sixth (protest) house, will be in the eighth house of dispute.

The conjunction of the lagna lord and the 4th house (Farmer) lord Mercury and the 5th lord Venus in the 8th house is an astrological signal that coming days is an astrological signal that farmers movement can force the government to re-plan their agricultural politics. Farmers of Punjab, Haryana and Western Uttar Pradesh had earlier protested against the three farm laws in the year 2020-21. Due to the historic protest movement against the agricultural laws, the BJP government was forced to withdraw these laws in November 2021. But now there are astrological signs of increasing conflict between the farmers and the government regarding bringing a law regarding minimum support price for crops. These are visible astrological indications and this issue can also become big in the upcoming general elections. The conjunction of Sun with Saturn in the ninth house in the Sankranti horoscope means that the Central Government will soon issue a government order regarding increasing the minimum support price. But it will not satisfy most of the farmer organizations as the opposition parties may lure them with promise to bring in a law for the guarantee of the minimum support price (MSP) if they came to the power.

Winter season will last longer due to Sun-Saturn conjunction

In the Sankranti horoscope, the conjunction of the Sun with Saturn is in the air element sign Aquarius, there is a possibility of cold winds along with unusual rainfall in the coming days, which can extend the winter season till the first or second week of March. In India Abnormal rainfall in the central and northern states will cause damage to the crops at some places in the last week of February and the first fortnight of March also. Punjab and Haryana, affected by Capricorn sign, will receive good rainfall in the next few days and the temperature will be slightly below the normal as per the season. Mercury, Mars and Venus are giving aspect to the Cancer sign which will bring some good rains in the southern parts of Madhya Pradesh and Northern region of Maharashtra in the last week of February.

In the Sankranti horoscope, tenth lord Jupiter being in Aries the sign of Mars, and getting the aspect by Saturn sitting in ninth house will also increase some religious controversies in India. Farmers’ agitation in India and Europe may remain a headache for the government for the next 30 days. If the responsible governments are unable to address the grievances of the farmers then it is feared that during the month of April when the conjunction of Mars and Saturn will took place in Aquarius sign, then these farmers protests can turn violent in many cities of Europe and in the some parts of Northern India.
