Introduction

Narendra Modi enters his 76th year in September 2025 under extraordinary cosmic currents. His natal Scorpio ascendant chart and progression charts (Manu Smriti method) indicate a dramatic shift between September 2025 and September 2026, a period laden with both political instability and health concerns. When aligned with India’s foundation chart (15 August 1947, 00:00 hrs, New Delhi), the outlook for the nation also appears deeply unsettled, especially under the onset of Mars Mahadasha (from September 2025).

The astrology suggests that Modi’s personal challenges and India’s collective struggles will run parallel, creating an uncertain future for leadership and stability.

Narendra Modi’s Natal and Progression Analysis

Natal Chart Highlights (17 Sept 1950, 11:50 hrs, Vadnagar, Gujarat – Scorpio Ascendant)

The Birth chart is below.

• Scorpio Lagna with Moon and Mars forms a powerful Ruchaka Pancha Mahapurush Yoga twice (by Lagna and Moon), giving fighting spirit, mass appeal, and longevity in leadership.

• Sun (10th lord) with Mercury in 11th house indicates career rise, though affliction in Rahu–Ketu axis brings controversy.

• Venus and Saturn in 10th house create strong Rajyoga for fame and mass leadership, supported by Jupiter’s aspect.

• Garbhshishta Planets: Venus and Saturn in 10th house form potent Rajyoga.

Dasha Cycle Insights

• Modi  present Dasha Mars -Mercury –Modi can take big decisions on the economic front , the difference of Mercury in the Mahadasha of Mars in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s birth chart is from May 2025 to May 2026. Although both are enemies but both placed well in the Chart, But due to the dominance of the sixth house of Mars and the eighth house of Mercury, Modi will face  obstacles in implementing economic reforms.  The Giant industries will  not pass on the maximum benefit of lower GST rates to customers, forcing the government to take a new policy decision. The Antardasha of the eighth house Mercury in the Mahadasha of Mars, the land factor, may bring the government’s policy of allocating land to big industrialists for development works at very cheap rates to the centre.

• From Mars–Venus (Feb 2026 – Apr 2027), health concerns rise as Venus (22nd Drekkana lord) and Mars in Sarp Dreshkanne bring vulnerability.

Progression Charts

• Sept 2024 – Sept 2025: Promising year with Moon in Pushya star and Saturn in Amrit Bhag, indicating stability.

• Sept 2025 – Sept 2026: Venomous year. Split in Rajyoga, Moon in Mercury’s star (6th lord), and combust Venus (10th lord) weaken leadership fortunes. Transit Saturn over Rahu (Pisces) and Ketu over Saturn intensify troubles.

PROGRESSION CHART OF THE SEPT. 2025 TO SEPT. 2026 IS BELOW MOST VENOMOUS

• Conclusion: Modi faces serious political setbacks and possible health issues between Sept 2025 – Sept 2026, marking a critical downturn.

India’s Foundation and Progression Analysis

Foundation Chart (15 Aug 1947, 00:00 hrs, Taurus Ascendant)

FOUNDATION CHART OF INDIA AND PROGRESSION CHARTS BY MANU SMRITI

 THE 15TH AUGUST 1947 00-00-01 HRS

• Current dasha: Moon–Sun till Sept 2025, relatively manageable.

• From Sept 2025: Mars Mahadasha begins (7 years). Mars debilitated in 8th house with Sun—weak placement, signaling instability.

• The 10th Lord  from Moon is Mars and placed in the 12th from Moon and in the 2nd house from  Lagna poorly placed in Gemini where the Ashtavarga bindoos are only 19. From this we can come to the conclusion that the Dasha of Mars may not be very conducive for the Country starting from 9-9-2025. The Dasha Varga Chart of Mars is below as per Tamil Classics
• Mars the Dasha Lord is badly placed in the 8th house in debilitation with Sun . There are no planets in own sign and exaltation, hence the chart is a weak one. The 8th house of the Natal Chart is rising is another concern and Jupiter the 8thy Lord of the Foundation chart is aspects it. Hence Dasha of Mars may not be very conducive for the Country starting from 9-9-2025 for 7 years.

Progression Chart Observations

Let us have a Look at the  Progression chart from August 2025 to August 2026 below.

The Chart is most precarious. . The following Parameters are of Concern.

1. Moon and Jupiter in Rahu-Ketu Axis .
2. Lagna and Lagna Lord both afflicted .
3. 10th Lord from Moon and 10th Lord from Lagna in the Ascendant and afflicted badly.
4. 10th Lord from Lagna Debilitated and aspects the Sun Debilitated in the 4th house and placed in 6/8 axis with Moon is most precarious and explosive. This parameter is explosive for the King of the Country.
5.  Dasha Lord Mars is Debilitated asper the foundation chart of India
6. The General conditions of the Country will suffer.
7. Sun will be in Mrityu Bhag and Debilitated in the Progression chart of the August 2026 to August 2027 and placed in 6/8 axis with Moon will be the worst time for the Country from the August 2025 to August 2027 in the Mahadasha of Mars.
8. Terrorism Assassinations and Political Turmoil is on the Cards  till August 2024 and then till August 2027.

• Aug 2025 – Aug 2026: Critical year.

  • Lagna and Lagna Lord afflicted.

  • Moon and Jupiter caught in Rahu–Ketu axis.

  • 10th lords (from Lagna and Moon) afflicted and debilitated.

  • Sun debilitated in 6/8 relation with Moon.

• Aug 2026 – Aug 2027: Sun in Mrityu Bhaga, worst period for leadership and political stability.

Implications for India

• Political instability, terrorism, and leadership crises are likely.

• Economic conditions and governance will suffer.

• Patterns mirror past national crises (Indira Gandhi assassination in 1984, COVID outbreak in 2020).

Combined Outlook: Modi and India (Sept 2025 – Sept 2026)

• Both Modi’s progression chart and India’s progression chart show breakdown of Rajyogas and heightened afflictions.

• Health and security risks loom over Modi personally.

• India enters a volatile Mars Mahadasha, historically linked to wars, violence, and upheaval.

• This parallel decline indicates that Modi’s 76th year in politics marks a turning point, possibly ushering instability in governance and internal/external challenges for India.

Conclusion

Astrology reveals a clear shift: the favorable yogas that lifted Modi’s career are breaking as India simultaneously enters a weak planetary cycle. Between Sept 2025 and Aug 2027, the nation and its leadership may endure turbulence unseen since the 1980s. The rare overlap of planetary afflictions warns of political instability, terrorism, economic stress, and leadership crises.

The 76th year of Narendra Modi’s life may thus become the most testing phase, both for him and for the nation he leads.
