🇺🇸 U.S.–🇨🇳 China Trade War 2025:
Will There Be a Truce? Astrology Decodes the High-Stakes Drama
Just hours after the U.S. announced an astonishing 245% tariff on Chinese goods, Beijing signaled a potential opening for negotiation—but with conditions. China demanded that the U.S.:
-
Refrain from hostile or disparaging remarks by cabinet officials,
-
Maintain a consistent and trustworthy trade stance, and
-
Address Beijing’s core concerns—particularly regarding sanctions and the Taiwan issue.
China also insisted on a clear and empowered U.S. negotiator backed personally by President Donald Trump, capable of delivering a deal worthy of both leaders’ signatures.
But will this lead to peace or deepen the divide? Astrology offers profound insights into this evolving economic standoff.
🌐 Astrological Framework: What the Stars Foretell
1. Saturn–Jupiter Transit & ‘Durbhiksha Yoga’
-
Saturn transits Pisces and turns retrograde from July 13 to November 28, 2025, indicating a season of stagnation, power struggles, and failed attempts at resolution.
-
Jupiter, entering Gemini on May 14, moves in accelerated motion from mid-July, forming the dreaded ‘Durbhiksha Yoga’, a classic configuration associated with economic distress and misjudgments in policy.
-
Jupiter–Saturn tension between July 13 to November 28, 2025 represents the peak pressure window, where high-stakes diplomacy is likely, but resolution remains elusive.
-
Moreover, Rahu in Jupiter’s star and Jupiter in Rahu’s star during this phase, alongside 97 days of Rahu affliction (April to November), indicate deception, misdirection, and manipulative diplomacy on both sides.
2. Mars–Ketu Conjunction in Leo (June–July 2025)
A historic and volatile alignment, last seen around major global conflict periods (e.g., WW1), the Mars–Ketu conjunction:
-
Suggests covert aggression, retaliatory tactics, and unresolved grudges.
-
Mars will also aspect Saturn and Rahu, increasing the likelihood of provocative statements, sanctions, or cyber-warfare-style tactics.
-
Critically, in China’s chart, this occurs in the 8th house over natal Saturn (the Lagna lord), and in Trump’s chart, in the Ascendant over natal Mars — both charts highlighting explosive responses and power assertion.
3. Mercury Retrograde and Combust (August 5–29, 2025)
-
As the planet of negotiation, trade, and diplomacy, Mercury’s retrograde during this period could lead to miscommunication, policy U-turns, or failed agreements.
-
Mercury’s combustion phases may further inflate egos, reducing willingness to compromise.
4. Nakshatra Sanghatta Chakra Activation: June 30 – July 22, 2025
-
A rare Vedha (obstruction) occurs between Mars and Saturn, signifying increased friction, delayed resolutions, and heightened war-like posturing—both economic and rhetorical.
🇨🇳 China’s Horoscope (1 October 1949, 15:15, Beijing)
-
Under Mercury–Venus Dasha, with Mercury conjunct Ketu (illusion, manipulation) and Venus aspects by debilitated Mars—a classic sign of diplomatic smoke screens and backdoor manoeuvring.
-
Transiting Rahu over 3rd house (communications, alliances) and Ketu over natal Mercury–Ketu until May 28, shows frustration, caution, and careful image management.
🇺🇸 Donald Trump’s Horoscope (14 June 1946, 10:54 AM, Queens NY)
-
Currently in Jupiter–Venus Mahadasha until mid-2027—both being Marka (death-inflicting or conflict-oriented) planets, with mutual exchange, makes this period volatile and politically charged.
-
Jupiter transiting to the 8th house from Moon in Gemini (May 14 onward) suggests hidden agendas, sudden events, and strategic surprises.
-
From May 28, Rahu–Ketu axis hits Trump’s Saturn in the 8th house, and Mars joins this explosive setup by June–July, creating a cauldron of personal and political transformation.
-
Despite this, Venus Dasha (April–July) may offer brief windows of diplomatic charm or compromise, though rhetoric will remain aggressive.
🧭 Astrological Timeline for the U.S.–China Trade Conflict
| Date Range | Astrological Outlook |
|---|---|
| Now to May 28, 2025 | Tensions rise; backchannel talks possible but trust deficit remains. Rahu afflicted for 15 days |
| June–July 2025 | Highly volatile. Mars–Ketu + Saturn Veda = provocation, breakdown in diplomacy. Worst Time frame |
| August 5–29, 2025 | Mercury Retrograde. Risk of missteps or broken talks. Avoid signing deals. |
| September 2025 onward | No improvements. Global realignment, new trade blocs may not emerge. Extremely heightened phase |
| Late Nov–Dec 2025 | Some chances for a temporary truce. Still, distrust remains high. Rahu affliction from June-Nov. for 82 days will be instrumental in create Illusions and deceptions for a peaceful truce. This tension can also grow in a Warlike WW1 from 7th June-28th Nov. 2025 |
🔮 Astrological Verdict: War of Words or Peaceful Pact?
-
A full and lasting truce appears unlikely before November 2025.
-
Expect temporary pauses, optics-driven diplomacy, or limited agreements, but the deeper mistrust and power rivalry will persist.
-
Both China and Trump’s charts show Rahu-driven illusion and backroom strategies — not a recipe for transparent, long-term peace.
-
Late 2025 to early 2026 is the for meaningful economic cooperation and trade reform with utmost bottlenecks and hurdles and may not lead to a good truce.
