“Tariff Tensions Rise as Stars Trigger Market Shocks”
Introduction
I am Anil Aggarwala, a Mundane and Financial Astrologer trained under the legendary K.N. Rao at Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, New Delhi, and author of more than 2,500 published articles and 800 YouTube videos on global events, geopolitics, financial markets, and natural catastrophes. Over the years, I have earned recognition for making accurate forecasts well before they unfolded—whether it was the onset and decline of COVID-19, Donald Trump’s election victories, or recent natural disasters and stock market crises.
India–US trade talks pause with the astrological background already discussed in your article Stars Warned, Markets Tremble After Alaska Summit Deadlock.
US Trade Talks with India Halted: Markets Brace for Cosmic and Geopolitical Pressures
The United States has halted its trade delegation’s scheduled visit to India in the second half of August, effectively pausing the ongoing negotiations for a bilateral trade deal. This comes just months after Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Washington visit in February, which set the stage for a fresh round of dialogue. With Washington pressing for agricultural market access and tariffs looming on Indian exports, the uncertainty casts a shadow on financial markets already under stress.
The pause is not isolated — it aligns with a turbulent astrological backdrop that has been warning of volatility since the Alaska Summit deadlock.
Geopolitical Triggers Meet Cosmic Signals
Astrologically, the pause in talks coincides with the activation of malefic yogas that I highlighted in my earlier analysis:
-
Samsaptak Yoga: Mars in Virgo and Saturn in Pisces forming an exact opposition around 7°. Historically, this alignment triggers confrontations and stand-offs in diplomacy.
-
Bloodshed Yoga of Venus and Jupiter in Gemini, exact in mid-August, signifying trade conflicts escalating into broader disputes.
-
Durbhiksha Yoga (July 13 – Nov 28, 2025): Saturn retrograde in Pisces and Jupiter in accelerated motion — a classical combination linked with recessionary forces, food insecurity, and financial tremors.
-
Black Moon fortnight (Aug 23 onwards): Intensifies instability, amplifying both geopolitical tensions and natural catastrophes.
The halt in trade talks thus mirrors the planetary verdict: diplomacy is strained, global economic harmony is elusive, and turbulence will spill into markets.
Impact on Indian Financial Markets
1. Equity Volatility
Indian equities, particularly export-driven sectors like textiles, chemicals, and engineering, may face a de-rating as tariff risks rise. The Nifty’s recent vulnerability reflects the influence of Saturn’s retrogression coupled with Mars–Saturn opposition — a classical set-up for sudden shocks.
2. Currency and Bonds
The Rupee may weaken as US tariffs harden trade frictions. Astrologically, Rahu’s transit in Aquarius afflicting the Indian foundation chart’s financial houses signals foreign exchange volatility. Bond yields could edge higher as the specter of imported inflation looms.
3. Sectoral Divergence
-
Vulnerable: Textiles, gems & jewellery, specialty chemicals — all with high US exposure.
-
Mixed: Pharma and IT may remain resilient but will see valuation overhang due to uncertainty in global demand cycles.
-
Insulated: Domestic demand-driven sectors — utilities, hospitals, FMCG — will benefit as safe havens in turbulent times.
How Things Could Unfold
Astrologically, three scenarios emerge:
-
Escalation (High Probability): Tariffs of up to 50% bite from August 27; markets correct sharply, echoing the warnings of the 9th August Lunation Chart, which showed Mars–Saturn in exact opposition.
-
Managed De-escalation (Moderate Probability): Behind-the-scenes diplomacy tempers the tariff blow, leading to temporary market relief.
-
Prolonged Pause (Low Probability): Talks remain frozen, creating a grinding uncertainty that weighs on investor sentiment.
Conclusion
The “halt” in US–India trade talks is not just a policy delay — it is an echo of the cosmic script already written. With malefic yogas in play, markets are destined to face volatility, uncertainty, and shocks. The planetary canvas suggests that August to September 2025 will be a testing phase for India’s economic resilience, with investors advised to tilt toward defensives and hedge positions.
The stars have spoken: turbulence in trade and markets was inevitable, and the unfolding of this pause is simply another confirmation of astrology’s predictive precision.
