Astrological Forecast: August–September 2025 – A Cosmic Powder Keg for Global Politics, Natural Disasters, and Market Volatility
By Astrologer Anil Aggarwala
Introduction
In the teachings of stalwart Hardev Sharma Trivedi, Lunation Charts are an unmatched tool for making precise short-term predictions, often revealing events within a fortnight. He has documented several striking examples where such charts forecasted major political, economic, and natural events with uncanny accuracy. Applying this time-tested approach, the coming fortnight periods—from 15th to 19th August 2025 and from 23rd August 2025 onwards—are flashing red alerts for geopolitics, natural calamities, and global financial markets. The Planetary positions for Both Russia and Israel have Virgo rising at their foundation chart and Vimshottari Dasha of natural malefic planets operating is not good for both. and they may be involved in fierce war
Why This Period is Critical
The lunation chart of 9th August 2025 sets the stage.
-
Samsaptak Yoga of Mars and Saturn at exactly 7 degrees activates a volatile axis, triggering aggression and conflict.
-
Bloodshed Yoga of Venus and Jupiter in Gemini at 20 degrees adds further instability.
-
These combinations often coincide with large-scale violence, border escalations, and unexpected market crashes.
This is immediately followed by the Black Moon fortnight from 23rd August 2025, already discussed in my earlier forecast, extending beyond 9th September 2025. This period includes the start of Mars Mahadasha for India on 9th September 2025, with Mars in the 2nd house (Marka), possessing only 19 Ashtakvarga bindus against a required minimum of 29. As the 7th and 12th lord, Mars here strongly signifies terrorism, espionage, and foreign-instigated disturbances.
Eclipse & Fortnight Dynamics
The Solar Eclipse of 7th September 2025 falls in the 1/7 axis of Trump and the USA, and in 1/7 axis of Moon In Aquarius house from the USA. For India, it falls in the 10th house from Lagna and 8th from natal Moon, directly impacting leadership, governance, and international standing.
For Russia, the Samsaptak Yoga of Mars and Saturn aligns in its 1/7 axis, with Mars in the Lagna—an astrological indication of extreme aggression. With the trio of eclipses from 7th September 2025 to 3rd March 2026, the geopolitical tension could escalate to unprecedented levels.
The Alaska Summit Factor
The same period coincides with the planned Alaska summit between Trump, Putin, and Zelensky aimed at a truce in the Russia–Ukraine war (which began on 22nd February 2022). Astrologically, the fortnights in play are far from peaceful—they suggest that even if diplomatic gestures are made, back-channel escalations or strategic moves (“Operation Sindoor”) could unfold.
Potential Manifestations
Given the planetary stress patterns, the world could see:
-
Geo-political escalation in multiple regions (Russia–Ukraine, South Asia, Middle East)
-
Terrorism and espionage incidents targeting borders and critical infrastructure
-
Natural catastrophes—floods, earthquakes, or fires—linked to Mars–Saturn aggression
-
Market turbulence, with stock indices showing extreme volatility, sudden crashes, and speculative losses.
US Threatens More Tariffs on India Ahead of Trump–Putin Alaska Talks; New Delhi Fires Back
What’s Happening on the Ground
-
High-stakes summit incoming. On 15 August, President Trump is scheduled to meet Vladimir Putin in Anchorage, Alaska—the first such meeting since 2019—aiming for a peace breakthrough in the Russia–Ukraine conflict.
-
Tariff warning escalates. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has warned that secondary tariffs on India could increase if the Alaska summit fails. This builds on existing duties already totaling 50%, including 25% aimed at India’s imports of Russian oil and arms.
India pushes back. New Delhi rejects the penalties, calling them “unfair, unjustified, and unreasonable,” and defends its need for discounted Russian crude to maintain energy security.
What to Watch For
-
Diplomatic Fallout. Failure in the Alaska summit may prompt further tariff escalation or strategic decoupling.
-
Market Volatility. India’s critical export sectors—textiles, jewels, IT—remain vulnerable to trade disruptions.
-
Macroeconomic Risks. Rising tariffs could dent GDP, weaken the rupee, and push domestic inflation.
-
Astro-Warnings. The cosmic overlay suggests heightened risk zones: geopolitical flashpoints, border instability, and financial shocks.
Summary Table
| Factor | Insight |
|---|---|
| Alaska Summit Outcome | Decisive for India’s trade and diplomatic course |
| Tariff Trajectory | Could worsen rapidly post-summit if talks falter |
| Export Sectors Impact | Textiles, gems, and software heavily exposed |
| Broader Astro Countdown | Each explosion—Lunation, Black Moon, Mars Mahadasha, Eclipse—adds cumulative risk |
