“Mars Ignites, Ketu Cuts – Wars Explode”
🔥War Under Gandanta: As Mars Joins Ketu in Leo, Global Conflicts Explode — Prediction Fulfilled!
By Dr. Anil Aggrawala
Published on: June 4, 2025
📍 www.astrodocanil.com
As foretold in my earlier predictions—especially those highlighting the dangerous window between June 5 to July 28, 2025—we are now entering the most volatile stretch of planetary warfare in the heavens, and it is already manifesting in the earthly plane.
🔱 Mars Enters the Gandanta Arc: The Final Blow of Fire
On June 7, 2025, Mars enters Leo—the royal and aggressive fire sign—and immediately conjuncts Ketu, the karmic severer, in the critical degrees of Magha Nakshatra, barely out of the treacherous Gandanta zone (Cancer–Leo cusp). This is not an ordinary transit. Mars and Ketu both signify sudden violence, warfare, military strikes, and combustible rage—especially when transiting Leo, a sign linked with kingship, sovereignty, and pride.
I had warned in my April and May 2025 articles that this precise conjunction would act as a trigger point for military escalations, covert operations, and breakdown of diplomatic ties, especially for nations already under pressure from the March 29, 2025 Eclipse.
🇷🇺🇺🇦 Ukraine-Russia Brawl Reaches Boiling Point
News agencies are now reporting unprecedented military movements and heavy casualties in Eastern Ukraine as Russian forces intensify operations, breaching ceasefire zones and targeting infrastructure. The planetary alignment has ignited what looks like the most serious escalation since 2022.
-
Rahu in Aquarius (Airy sign, Attack through Air and deception)
-
Saturn retrograde in Pisces (from July 13 but already slowing)
-
Mars–Ketu in Leo (aggression with severance)
-
The Veda or opposition between Mars and Saturn is forming—a classic indicator of impasse, prolonged war, or ruthless action.
This fulfils my prediction made in April 2025, where I noted:
“June 5 to July 28 will be explosive for Ukraine–Russia. Watch for covert strikes, mass fatalities, or external interventions.”
🌍🔥 Middle East Turns Ugly: Israel–Iran–Hezbollah Triangle Heats Up
The Middle East is another astrological hotspot. Just as predicted in my article “US–Iran Talks to Collapse (June 7–July 28)”, we’re now witnessing:
-
Israeli air raids over Syria and Gaza
-
Iran issuing threats of “unprecedented retaliation”
-
Hezbollah activating militias near the Israeli border
What’s significant is that these flashpoints mirror astrological flash zones. Leo, the sign of Mars-Ketu now, is the 12th house from Israel’s Virgo Lagna—indicating state aggression and military assertion. Iran’s natal chart shows Rahu-Ketu in the 2/8 axis being heavily triggered, along with progressed Moon over Mars, inflaming passions.
🔍 Astrological Triggers Converge (June–July 2025):
-
Mars–Ketu Conjunction in Leo (June 7–July 27): Sudden war-like actions, strikes, blasts, assassinations.
-
Mars–Saturn Veda: Tension, deadlock, martyrdom, stubborn warfare.
-
Rahu Affliction Window: Ongoing till November 2025, fuelling paranoia and misinformation.
-
Saturn Retrograde (from July 13) and Jupiter acceleration forming the rare “Durbhiksha Yoga” period I had predicted—mirroring 1914, 1947, and 2020.
🇮🇳⚔️🇵🇰 India–Pakistan: Sparks Fly Under the Same Sky
As Mars conjoins Ketu in Leo, the Indo–Pak border heats up once again. Reports of increased ceasefire violations, cross-border shelling, and terror infiltration attempts are surfacing—aligning precisely with the aggressive cosmic signatures I had warned about. This conjunction activates the Ascendant axis of India’s Taurus Lagna chart and also impacts Pakistan’s 4th house of homeland stability, suggesting military posturing, internal unrest, and possible surgical responses. The Mars–Saturn Veda further blocks diplomacy, while Rahu in Aquarius in 8th from 4th house for Pakistan may prove catastrophic fuels covert operations. This brawl may escalate suddenly, with June 7–Jul 28th as a peak-risk window.
📜 Prediction Confirmed
Once again, the cosmic blueprint unfolds on Earth’s stage. My April and May forecasts about the mid-2025 Mars–Ketu firestorm, Ukraine–Russia climax, and Middle East eruption are proving accurate.
This is not the end—June to November 2025 remains critical. Expect more nations to be drawn into this web of karmic retribution. The next window to watch: June 20–23, when Mars crosses Mrityu Bhaga (23° Leo) and squares Uranus by degree in the sky.
Stay tuned for further updates and Vedic decoding of world affairs.
Let me reproduce the Article below which I wrote on the -4th April 2025 link

Escalating Israel-Iran Tensions in 2025: Astrological War Signals
The astrological landscape of 2025 indicates a critical turning point in the Israel-Iran conflict, with planetary alignments resembling historical periods of war. The Mars-Ketu conjunction, Rahu-Ketu axis shift, and significant eclipses suggest that tensions may spiral into open military confrontation, drawing global powers into the conflict.
1. Direct Military Confrontation (July-September 2025)
-
Iran may accelerate nuclear advancements, prompting Israel to launch a preventive attack.
-
Israel could target Iranian nuclear facilities (similar to past operations like Stuxnet cyberattacks and airstrikes on Syria’s nuclear reactor).
-
Iran may retaliate with missile strikes on Tel Aviv or key Israeli military bases.
2. Hezbollah & Proxy War (Mid-2025 Onward)
-
Iran-backed Hezbollah in Lebanon could open a second front, attacking northern Israel.
-
Israel may conduct a full-scale military invasion of Lebanon, escalating regional tensions.
3. US & Global Powers Get Involved (Late 2025 – Early 2026)
-
If Iran blocks the Strait of Hormuz, the US may directly intervene to protect global oil supply chains.
-
Russia and China may increase military aid to Iran, escalating the crisis into a global standoff.
-
Potential US-Israel joint strikes on Iranian nuclear sites could trigger retaliatory attacks on US bases in the Middle East.
Final Outlook: A Dangerous Flashpoint in Global Conflict
The astrological alignments of 2025 suggest that Israel-Iran tensions will reach a breaking point, with a high probability of:
✅ Airstrikes & missile attacks
✅ Cyberwarfare targeting nuclear facilities
✅ Proxy wars in Lebanon, Syria, and Iraq
✅ US, Russia, and China being drawn into the conflict
If diplomatic solutions fail, the period from June to December 2025 could witness a regional war with global repercussions.
1. Trade Relations & Export Impact
-
Indian Exports Could Decline: Higher tariffs on Indian goods abroad (like textiles, pharmaceuticals, and IT services) could reduce demand, affecting revenues for export-dependent sectors.
-
Retaliation May Escalate Trade War: If major trading partners (e.g., the U.S.) respond with even higher tariffs, it could lead to prolonged trade disputes, affecting global trade flows.
2. Stock Market Volatility
-
Sectors Like IT, Pharma, and Auto May Suffer: Companies dependent on exports (TCS, Infosys, Sun Pharma, Tata Motors) could see a drop in their stock prices.
-
Domestic-Oriented Stocks May Gain: Companies with a strong domestic market focus may attract investors seeking stability.
3. Inflation & Consumer Prices
-
Higher Prices for Imported Goods: Essential imports like electronics, machinery, and oil could become more expensive, increasing inflation.
-
Cost-Push Inflation: Industries relying on imported raw materials (like manufacturing and automobiles) might pass on higher costs to consumers.
4. Rupee Depreciation Risk
-
Widening Trade Deficit: If exports decline and imports remain costly, India’s trade deficit may increase, putting pressure on the rupee.
-
Foreign Investors May Pull Out: A negative economic outlook might lead to capital outflows, further weakening the rupee.
5. Impact on GDP Growth
-
Slower Economic Growth: Reduced trade, higher costs, and inflation could drag down India’s GDP growth in 2025-26.
-
Policy Response Needed: The RBI might have to intervene to stabilize the currency, while the government could explore subsidies or tax cuts to support affected industries.
As per the above combinations listed down in this Article the Brawl between nations will take ugly turn starting from June 2025 and parallel WW1
