A Rare & Explosive Astrological Window for the World
By Acharya Anil Aggarwala
(Engineer-turned-Astrologer | Disciple of Shri K.N. Rao | 2500+ Proven Predictions)
1. The Core Theme: Three Malefics Steering Events
From January to April 2026, global affairs enter an exceptionally volatile phase with Rahu, Mars, and Saturn simultaneously influencing the “driving wheel” of events. Such clustering of heavy malefics across Sagittarius → Capricorn → Aquarius → Pisces is highly unusual and historically linked with:
-
Wars and escalation of armed conflicts
-
Political conspiracies, regime instability, and revolts
-
Terrorism, riots, mass violence, and social unrest
-
Sudden accidents, explosions, fires, and infrastructure collapse
-
Epidemics, suffocation-related incidents, and environmental disasters
-
Sharp economic shocks and breakdown of global order
This is not a routine transit cycle—it signals systemic stress at a global level.
2. Rahu in Aquarius: The Epicentre of Chaos
Rahu, the planet of crime, deception, mass hysteria, war psychology, anti-social and anti-religious movements, becomes the most dangerous trigger in this window.
🔴 Key Risk Factors
-
Rahu in Shatabhisha (its own Nakshatra)
-
Afflicted for ~46 days between Jan–March 2026 (90 Days)
-
Additional affliction near Pisces ingress of Sun until April
This combination magnifies:
-
Cyber warfare, misinformation, covert operations
-
Immigration crises and ideological extremism
-
Epidemic-like conditions (social or biological)
-
Sudden creation of enemies and proxy conflicts
Rahu in Aquarius impacts masses, governments, technology, air, epidemics, and collective psychology, making disturbances widespread rather than localized.
3. Mars on the Driving Wheel: Aggression Without Brakes
Mars acts as the executioner of Rahu’s agenda.
Mars in Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces till 14th May will be on the Steering wheel in the Lunation charts of the 3rd, 19th Jan., 17th Feb, 3rd March 2026 and till it leaves the sign Pisces on the 14th May 2026
-
Continuous planetary clustering with Mars
-
Activation of military, fire, explosions, and armed conflict
-
Repetition of historical war-like signatures seen during WW-periods
Mars does not negotiate—it acts, and when aligned with Rahu and Saturn, events unfold rapidly and irreversibly.
4. Saturn in Pisces: Karma, Collapse & Consequences
Saturn in Pisces represents:
-
Karmic reckoning of nations
-
Breakdown of old systems (economic, political, moral)
-
Water-related disasters, refugee crises, and humanitarian stress
Saturn’s involvement ensures that damage is long-lasting, not cosmetic.
5. The Eclipse Triggers: Fuel to the Fire
Two eclipses act as ignition points:
-
17 February 2026
-
3 March 2026
These eclipses falling on 1/7 or 4/10 axes of national foundation charts are especially destructive, and when combined with:
-
Rahu Mahadasha / Antardasha
-
Marka Dashas
-
Activation of 8th and 12th houses
…they bring downfalls of nations and top political leadership, exactly as stated in Shri K.N. Rao’s Theory of Inevitability.
6. April 20, 2026: Mars–Saturn Veda (⚠️ Red Alert)
The Veda (obstruction clash) between Mars Saturn Mercury and Ketu on 20 April 2026 is the most dangerous single parameter of this cycle.

Historically, such configurations correlate with:
-
Formal declaration or expansion of wars
-
Massive accidents or attacks
-
Collapse of peace processes
-
Sudden global shock events
This date requires special attention in mundane astrology.
7. Role of Rashi & Nakshatra Sanghatta Chakras
The Rashi Sanghatta and Nakshatra Sanghatta Chakras act as event accelerators, converting latent tension into visible, real-world outcomes, particularly in matters of:
-
War and military action
-
Border conflicts
-
Regime destabilization
-
Mass casualties
8. Countries Under Maximum Impact
Based on lunation charts (3 Jan, 19 Jan, 17 Feb, 3 Mar, 19 Mar 2026), foundation charts, and dasha alignments, the nations most affected are:
-
India Taurus Lagna
-
United States Leo Lagna
-
Russia Virgo Lagna
-
Ukraine Capricorn Lagna
-
Israel Vorgo Lagna
-
Germany Cancer Lagna
-
Canada Pisces Lagna
-
China Capricorn Lagna
For these countries, Mars-dominated lunations + Rahu activation point toward geopolitical escalation rather than resolution.
Political Head of the Countries
1.Trump Leo Lagna
Narender Modi Scorpio Lagna
Xi-Jinping Leo Lagna
They can also face the Most Challenging time in this window as already predicted on my webpage.
9. Final Assessment: Prelude to a Global Conflict Phase
January–April 2026 represents a threshold period. Whether one calls it WW3-like conditions or the formal beginning of a prolonged global conflict cycle, astrology clearly shows:
The seeds of major wars and irreversible global changes are sown in this window.
The clustering of planets in Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces, with Mars, Rahu, and Saturn steering outcomes, makes this phase one of the most dangerous astrological periods of the decade.
