Why the Current Crisis Is Written in the Nation’s Horoscope**

Introduction: Astrology Validates the Venezuelan Crisis 

The dramatic developments involving Venezuela and its ruler Nicolás Maduro over the past week on the 3rd Jan 2026  are not sudden or accidental.

As already predicted on my webpage that the Lunation chart of the 3rd Jan. 2026 is most enigmatic. See the chart below

Saturn transit aspects the Natal Saturn and Moon in the marka house degree-wise specially on the Natal Saturn of the Venezuela

The Lunation is taking place in the sign Sagittarius the 2nd house the Marka sthan and almost all planets are influencing the sign Sagittarius and the Lord Jupiter, making the 2nd house Venerable for the  economy crisis and war like situations

The Chart is below of the 3rd Jan. 2026 as per IST

They are a direct manifestation of severe and rare astrological afflictions operating simultaneously in:

• Venezuela’s foundation chart

• The Vimshottari Dasha sequence

• Critical transit triggers of Saturn, Rahu–Ketu, and Jupiter

• Activation of Marka houses, Arishta yogas, and 22nd Drekkana (22DK)

As I have consistently maintained in my research, when multiple death-inflicting (Marka) and downfall-indicating parameters converge, the fall of the ruler becomes inevitable. Venezuela has now entered exactly such a window.

Foundation Chart of Venezuela (5 July 1811, 15:00 hrs, Caracas)

• Ascendant (Lagna): Scorpio

• Mars in Ascendant – aggressive, volatile, war-prone national temperament

• Moon (14°43′ Sagittarius) conjunct Saturn (R) 00°41′ Sagittarius in the 2nd house

• Venus & Jupiter placed in the 7th house

• Sun (10th lord) conjunct Mercury (8th lord) in Gemini

• Rahu–Ketu axis in Leo–Aquarius (10th–4th axis)

•  Sun and Moon connection is very good in the chart as the 9th and the 10th Lord, but also forms a Vish yoga in the 2nd house due to Saturn and Moon conjunct in the 2nd house which is activated by the double Transit of Saturn and Jupiter

This chart itself carries in-built instability for rulers, especially during Mercury-dominated periods as the Lord of the 8th house with 10th Lord Sun(the King). Gemini sign is also 22DK and the Lord is placed in own house and Dasha Anter Dasha of Mercury planet who has the capacity to kill as the 22DK Lord

2nd House Activation: Saturn & Moon Become Marka Planets

In classical Jyotish, the 2nd house is a primary Marka (death-inflicting) house.

• Saturn (retrograde) + Moon in Sagittarius in the 2nd house

• Saturn = chronic suffering, punishment, downfall

• Moon = public mood, masses, emotional collapse

🔴 Key Trigger

 Principle1.Transit Saturn in Pisces (stationary) at 00.56 degrees aspects natal Saturn almost degree-to-degree, activating the Marka potential fully when Saturn was Stationary between 28th Nov. to 2nd Dec. 2025 at 00:56 degrees  along with Jupiter also activates the 2nd house and the 22DK the most explosive window. The Dasha in operation is also of Mercury-Mercury-Venus and most explosive.

Principle 2. As per Theory of Inevitability of shri K N Rao Dasha of a Planet who has the Capacity to Kill and the Eclipses in the 4/10 axis is time for Fall of the Country and the King specially when the 10th Lord Sun is in the 8th house with22DK Lord and the sign.

Both the above Principles were activated and also validated

➡️ This alone is enough to destabilize the ruler and the nation’s financial and political structure.

Rahu–Ketu Axis: Total Axis Reversal

• Natal Ketu in Aquarius

• Natal Rahu in Leo

• Transit Rahu over natal Ketu

• Transit Ketu over natal Rahu

This is one of the most destructive karmic reversals, especially when occurring in the 4/10 axis:

• 4th house → homeland, internal stability

• 10th house → ruler, government, authority

➡️ Classic indication of loss of power, exile, humiliation, and foreign intervention.

7th House: Foreign Pressure & War Significations

• Venus and Jupiter placed in the 7th house

• For Scorpio Lagna, both become functional Marka planets specially in the Dasha of Mercury-Mercury-Venus from 24-11-2025 to 20-4-2026 and after that Mercury-Mercury-Sun the ultimate fall of the empire

• 7th house also signifies:

  • Wars

  • Foreign enemies

  • Treaties & betrayals

➡️ The Venezuelan crisis has clear foreign-driven escalation, fully supported by this placement.

Sun–Mercury Combination: Fall of the King

• Sun = 10th lord (King, authority)

• Mercury = 8th lord (destruction, scandal, sudden fall)

• Both placed in Gemini (8th house zone influence)

Classical Rule:

When the 10th lord joins the 8th lord, the ruler faces downfall, disgrace, or removal.

➡️ This is one of the clearest yogas for fall of a ruler.

 Navamsha Consideration

The Picture in the Navamsha is further clear as Sun Exalted in the 9th house with Retro Debilitated Saturn and opposed By Mercury from Libra

Transit Jupiter: Fallen, Retrograde & Accelerated

• Transit Jupiter in Gemini the 22DK sign over the Sun in close degrees

• Fallen 

• Retrograde

• In accelerated motion

• Approaching natal Sun (10th lord) at ~21°

➡️ Jupiter here does not protect; instead it magnifies the damage, exposing the ruler publicly and internationally.

Dasha Analysis: The Most Dangerous Period

Running Vimshottari Dasha

• Mercury–Mercury–Venus

• Period: 24 Nov 2025 – 20 Apr 2026

• Mercury MD continues till 29 Oct 2027

Why this is lethal:

• Mercury = 8th lord and placed in 8th house and also the Lord of the 22DK sign (Causing Arishta death like)

• Mercury placed in 8th house

• Venus (Pratyantar) = Marka planet

• Double activation of 8th + Marka

➡️ No relief possible during this phase.

 The Prices of the Crude oil will jump and India will be benefited   since India will buy from Russia.

Since the Eclipses are taking place in the 1/7 axis of the US and Trump and 7th house is Aquarius and signifies wars and Trump had warned Venezuela he pounced on the Country and Took N Maduro and his wife in to custody since the Country has very good resources of Oil. Trump main master stroke was for Oil so that US becomes Oil Rich.

The Chart of the country is strong but caught in the Dasha of Mercury the 8th Lord and the Arishta giving planet as the @@DK lord

22nd Drekkana (22DK): Final Arishta Trigger

• 22DK sign: Gemini

• Lord: Mercury

This confirms:

• Severe Arishta yoga

• Downfall during Mercury-ruled periods

• Sudden, shocking events (“bolt from the blue”)

Transit Snapshot: 6 January 2026

On 6 Jan 2026, the astrological sky becomes explosive:

• 2nd house (Marka sthan) heavily activated

• Mercury ~12°

• Sun, Mars, Venus ~21–22° aspect the Natal Sun degree-wise at 21 degrees

• All combust

• Exact activation over natal Saturn & Moon in Sagittarius

➡️ This configuration perfectly explains the sudden and dramatic collapse of authority.

No Respite Before Saturn Crosses 3° Pisces

As per my research:

• Till Saturn crosses ~3° Pisces on the 20th Jan 2026
  Venezuela and its ruler will find no relief

➡️ This critical threshold extends up to around 20 January 2026 and even beyond

Conclusion: Astrology Leaves No Doubt

Every major classical parameter stands activated:

• Marka houses (2nd & 7th)

• 8th house dominance

• Mercury-driven Arishta

• 22DK activation

• Rahu–Ketu axis reversal

• Saturn stationary aspect

• Fallen, retrograde, accelerated Jupiter

Result

👉 Fall of the King
👉 National instability
👉 Foreign intervention & humiliation
👉 No immediate recovery

This is not coincidence.
This is Jyotish in action.

🔴 Critical Eclipse Activation

The upcoming eclipses fall exactly over this natal Rahu–Ketu axis, activating both ends simultaneously:

• Collapse of internal order (4th)

• Fall of authority and ruler (10th)

Classical Mundane Astrology clearly states:

Eclipses on the 4/10 axis bring downfall of governments, exile of rulers, and foreign domination.

Lunation Charts Acting as Sequential Triggers

The following Lunation charts act like detonators, each worsening the situation:

🌑 3 January 2026 Lunation

• Sets the tone for the entire crisis phase

• Strong activation of Marka houses

• Mars tightly connected with malefic houses

🌑 19 January 2026 Lunation

• Extremely dangerous due to planetary clustering

• Direct activation of Capricorn and Aquarius

• Triggers Maduro’s natal Saturn–Ketu

🌑 2 February 2026 Lunation

• Builds pressure before eclipses

• Indicates confinement, humiliation, and global exposure

➡️ Each lunation adds fuel, ensuring the crisis does not dissipate.

Twin Eclipses: February–March 2026 (The Breaking Point)

🌘 17 February 2026 Eclipse

• Falls directly on the 4/10 axis

• Hits Venezuela’s Rahu–Ketu line

• Brings:

  • Internal revolt

  • Loss of legitimacy

  • Foreign interference

🌘 3 March 2026 Eclipse

• Completes the karmic cycle

• Finalizes separation from power

• Indicates irreversible damage

➡️ These eclipses act as cosmic verdicts, not warnings.

Mars on the Steering Wheel: Sagittarius to Aquarius

From this phase onward, Mars dominates the sky:

• Mars transits Sagittarius and Aquarius

• Forms clusters with multiple planets

• Mars = war, violence, explosions, military action

In Mundane Astrology:

Mars Saturn and Mercury in Pisces

Mercury the 22DK and the 8th Lord with Marka Saturn who aspects the Natal moon degree-wise at 14 degrees Mars Transit will aspect the natal Sun and Mercury most explosive for the Country on the 20th  April 2026

Mars Saturn Mercury at  13 degrees in Pisces the 5th house of the Country chart and Saturn will aspect Moon Degree-wise at 14 degrees

When Mars leads a planetary cluster, events manifest suddenly, violently, and irreversibly.

➡️ For Venezuela, this means:

• Military escalation

• Violent regime collapse

• External intervention

• No peaceful transition

Nakshatra Sanghatta Chakra

Activation of Nicolás Maduro’s Natal Chart

Natal Data Highlights (23 Nov 1962) 

The time of Birth is not available hence the Ascendant and the moon degrees are not known, never the  less the other Planets will rema in the signs in the Birth chart

• Saturn + Ketu in Capricorn

• Mars + Rahu in Cancer

• A classic Shrapit + Angarak-type configuration

• Indicates:

  • Ruthlessness

  • Sudden downfall

  • Confinement under violent circumstances

19 January 2026: The Most Explosive Date

On 19 January 2026:

• Five planets cluster in Capricorn

• Directly activate natal Saturn–Ketu of Maduro

• Mars energy from Cancer–Capricorn axis gets triggered

Classical results:

• Arrest, custody, or severe humiliation

• Sudden collapse of authority

• Health danger and legal peril

➡️ Even while in custody, this period remains extremely dangerous for the king.

Why There Is No Escape Path

When we combine:

• Eclipses on the 4/10 axis

• Reversed Rahu–Ketu transits

• Mars-driven stelliums

• Mercury-Mercury-Venus Dasha

• 22DK activation

• Saturn stationary aspect

👉 The conclusion is singular:

This is a karmic closure cycle, not a temporary setback.

Final Assessment

• Venezuela enters a phase of prolonged instability

• The ruler’s fall is sealed astrologically

• Custody does not guarantee safety

• The period Jan–May 2026 is the most volatile

This is exactly how Mundane Jyotish describes the fall of kings and regimes.
