“WW1 Revisited? Mars–Ketu 2025 Echoes of War”
Mars–Ketu Transit and Eclipse Impacts (June 2025–March 2026): Explosive Geopolitical and Natural Threats for India ,U.S. and the World
The upcoming Mars–Ketu transit from 7th June to 28th July 2025, falling in the 2nd house from the Moon and the 4th house from the Ascendant in India’s Foundation Chart (15th August 1947, 00:00 hrs, New Delhi), is a critical period. This transit coincides with Mars and Ketu moving over the Natal Navamsha Moon, and it sets the stage for high-volatility events in the months to follow.
Adding further intensity are the eclipses on 7th September 2025 and 3rd March 2026, both occurring in Aquarius—the 10th house from Ascendant, 8th house from Natal Moon, and 7th from Natal Navamsha Moon. These placements strongly suggest disruptions in governance, public order, and security.
This planetary alignment could trigger:
-
Major earthquakes, especially in India’s eastern regions.
-
Heightened terrorism and security threats.
-
Severe geopolitical tensions.
-
Natural and unnatural calamities.
-
Potential military conflict or skirmishes with neighboring countries.
Moreover, the Vedha (obstruction) between Mars and Saturn in the Nakshatra Chakra, occurring from 30th June to 23rd July 2025, is historically a trigger for war and destructive events—both in India and globally.
In parallel, the U.S. Foundation Chart (4th July 1776, 10:20:30 hrs, Philadelphia, Leo Ascendant) also comes under identical stress. The Mars–Ketu transit will fall on the Ascendant, and in the 7th from the Moon, while the upcoming eclipses hit the U.S. Natal Moon directly. Compounding this is the fact that the U.S. is in its third and most severe phase of Sade Sati, mirroring the planetary setup during World War I, when Mars and Ketu were similarly in Leo.
Both India and the U.S. are thus under extreme astrological pressure between June 2025 and March 2026, with their respective heads of state—Narendra Modi and Donald Trump—particularly vulnerable to leadership challenges, health issues, or national crises.
Planetary Effects Summary Table: India and U.S. (June 2025 – March 2026)
| Astrological Window | India (15 Aug 1947) | USA (4 July 1776) |
|---|---|---|
| Mars–Ketu Transit 7th June–28th July 2025 |
2nd from Moon, 4th from Ascendant, over Natal Navamsha Moon Risk of earthquakes (East), terrorism, unrest, border skirmishes |
Over Ascendant (Leo), 7th from Moon Severe aggression, diplomatic fallouts, public anger |
| Eclipses in Aquarius 7th Sept 2025 & 3rd March 2026 |
10th from Ascendant, 8th from Natal Moon, 7th from Navamsha Moon Govt instability, calamities, war threat |
Over Natal Moon, Leo Ascendant Crucial period for the President, echoes WW1 planetary setup |
| Mars–Saturn Vedha 30th June–23rd July 2025 |
Nakshatra obstruction, potential war trigger Violence escalation in border regions, communal flare-ups |
Global military escalations Possibility of U.S. military involvement or threats from adversaries |
| Mars–Saturn Shadastak Yoga 6/8 axis: 7th June–28th July 2025 |
Heightened military actions, civil unrest, clashes in domestic & foreign policy | Hostility in international relations, pressure on governance |
| Mars–Saturn Samsaptak Yoga 7/7 axis: 28th July–13th Sept 2025 |
Tug-of-war situation politically and militarily Possibility of forced action/retaliation |
U.S. power projection abroad; high risk for head of state (Trump) |
| Mars triggers Eclipse Degrees 25–26 Nov 2025 28 Feb–1 Mar 2026 Rahu Affliction for 82 days in the Durbhiksha Window of 13th July to 28th Nov. 2025 |
Mars over 7 Sept 2025 and 3 March 2026 eclipse points Possible ammo explosion, military aggression. In the 10th from Lagna 8th from natal moon and 7th from Navamsha Moon |
Possible terror threat, homeland disruption, triggering of earlier eclipse themes
7th from Ascendant over natal Moon |
This period marks a historical parallel to volatile planetary combinations from World War I, the 1965 Indo-Pak war, and the Kargil conflict, all of which involved Mars–Ketu and Mars–Saturn alignments with eclipse activation. The Mars transits in Leo (fiery, royal, and military sign) over natal planets in both India’s and the U.S.’s charts demand heightened vigilance, particularly during:
-
Mars–Saturn Nakshatra Vedha: 30 June – 23 July 2025
-
Eclipse windows: 7 Sept 2025 and 3 March 2026
-
Mars-Eclipse degree activation: 25–26 Nov 2025 and 28 Feb–1 March 2026

Let me reproduce the Article here for Ready reference
🔥 Echoes of World War I: Planetary Parallels Point to Global Conflict in July 2025
As tensions flare between India and Pakistan, and several global hotspots simmer dangerously, the astrological sky presents an eerie reflection of the cosmic alignments that heralded World War I, which began on 28th July 1914. I had long ago pointed out on my website that the year 2025, especially the period between 7th June and 28th July, would mirror many of the planetary conditions that existed just before the outbreak of the Great War.
ASs far as Indo-Pak conflict it is destined to be fierce till 12th May 2025 as per the Prashna chart of the 7th May 00:37 hrs. Pakistan Dooms day is approaching fast on the 23rd May 2025 as already predicted in my earlier Articles. The burning question is irrespective of the Brawl between India-Pakistan, there may be other Countries which may be involved like the WW1 as already predicted as per the Parameters given in this Article . Even if there is truce between India-Pakistan it may not last long. The Planetary Positions after 14th May 2025 due to Jupiter out of affliction by Saturn may give some ease for a short while only. In broader spectrum the relations between the 2 countries may never become healthy .
Now, as we approach 23rd July 2025, the parallels have become chillingly precise—suggesting that the risk of widespread conflict is no longer localized, but a threat to global stability.

| 10 | Mars–Saturn Vedha in Nakshatra Sanghatta Chakra | Present before war | 30 June–23 July 2025 – Highly explosive |
| 11 | Mars activates Eclipse degree (29 March 2025) | N/A | 2 July 2025 – Ammunition dump-like trigger |
| 12 | Durbhiksha phase (economic/military crisis window) | Post-war famine and upheaval | 13 July–28 Nov 2025 – Saturn Retro + Jupiter fast+Rahu Affliction 82 days |
🔻 Interpretive Highlights
-
Mars in Cancer crossing Mrityu Bhaga (23°): A classic death-inflicting degree, igniting aggression, impulsive military actions, and lack of control—precisely what’s seen in the Indo-Pak scenario now.
-
Mars–Ketu in Leo (7th June–28th July 2025): Historically and astrologically associated with fire, aggression, and warlike eruption. This is the identical placement that existed during World War I.
-
Sun in Cancer: An emotional trigger and nationalistic flare-up is common under this placement—leading to mass sentiments overtaking diplomacy.
-
Venus afflicted and involved in angular/karmic nodes: Shows economic losses, humanitarian crises, and women/children being affected the most.
-
Mars–Saturn Vedha (30 June–23 July) in Nakshatra Sanghatta Chakra: According to Shri K.N. Rao, this marks a highly explosive phase—especially around 2nd July, when Mars activates the eclipse point of 29 March 2025.
-
Durbhiksha Window (13 July–28 Nov 2025): As predicted in ancient Jyotish texts and supported by Bhavishya Phal Bhaskar, this phase can bring widespread economic crisis, famine, or major destruction globally.
🌍 Not Just Indo-Pak: A Global Flashpoint
While the immediate confrontation involves India and Pakistan, other global tensions—Israel–Iran, NATO–Russia, Taiwan Strait, and the South China Sea—also sit on a powder keg. The astrological configuration is not limited to one region. These planetary parallels warn that we are heading toward a worldwide geopolitical eruption.
🚨 Key Dates to Watch:
-
7th June – 28th July 2025: Mars–Ketu in Leo, war ignition phase
-
2nd July 2025: Mars activates eclipse point—massive explosion or attack likely
-
13th July – 28th November 2025: Durbhiksha period (economic & geopolitical collapse)
-
20–23 July 2025: Rahu affliction window—shake-up across nations
-
23rd July 2025: Peak of WWI-like planetary pattern
🛑 Final Word
The planets do not lie. Their alignment in 2025—especially in July—revives the karmic blueprint of 1914. As we stand at the edge of a precipice, world leaders must heed these celestial warnings. The heavens are urging restraint, wisdom, and foresight.
