The Legal Storm
Billionaire Gautam Adani, one of Asia’s richest men, now faces one of the most challenging chapters of his career. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has sought India’s assistance to serve notices in connection with a $750-million bond fraud and bribery case involving the Adani Group. This move comes amid heightened scrutiny from U.S. prosecutors, who allege financial misconduct in overseas debt issuances.
While Adani Group denies any wrongdoing, the international spotlight has intensified—bringing not only regulatory and market challenges but also a possible reputational hit at a scale not seen before in his business journey.
Astrological Dissection of the Crisis
Garbshishta and Dasha Analysis
The Maha Dasha Lord Jupiter offers only a 30% promise, while Mercury fructifies results to the extent of 90%, marking Adani as an opportunistic and strategically adaptive businessman. Jupiter forms an auspicious Gaj Kesari Yoga in the 10th house with Moon, and the Indu Lagna in Aquarius with Saturn in its own sign indicates extraordinary wealth potential.
However, the MCL of the 10th house (Saturn) is ill-placed from Jupiter—the Garbshishta planet—and caught in the Rahu–Ketu axis, creating a potent constraint. Jupiter in the 10th, despite yogas, is not considered pious as it debilitates in the natural zodiac’s 10th. For Taurus Lagna, Jupiter is the most malefic planet, being lord of the 8th house (Mooltrikona in Sagittarius).
The current Venus–Rahu Dasha (till 7 February 2025) is highly sensitive, followed by Venus–Jupiter Dasha (till 9 October 2027), which can bring “eight types of humiliations” as per classical texts, given Jupiter’s dual role as wealth significator and functional malefic here.
Navamsha Strength vs. Affliction
The Navamsha chart is strong, with Mars, Mercury, Jupiter in own signs, and an exalted Moon. Both the 10th lord of the Rashi chart and the 10th lord of the Navamsha chart are placed in the Navamsha’s 10th house—a classic career-strengthening factor. However, Venus (the Dasha lord) is afflicted, limiting the benefits.
Dashamsha & Career Tensions
In the Dashamsha chart (D10), the 6th house of the Rashi chart rises—unfavourable for career stability. The Lagna shifts to the 8th house, indicating financial strain. While Sun and Saturn in own signs in D10 are good, their association with malefics implies defamation risks. The MCL of the 10th house again falls in the Rahu–Ketu axis, signalling setbacks and sudden reputation drops.
Transit & Sade Sati Impact
As per Tamil classics, when natal Jupiter is afflicted by Saturn and Rahu in transit, business crises intensify. Adani is currently in the second phase of Sade Sati, with Saturn transiting close degrees to natal Moon and Jupiter. On 20 February 2025, Saturn will be exactly over the natal Moon, and after 28 May 2025, Rahu will also transit over the natal Moon and Jupiter—activating severe pressure points.
Further, Saturn’s ingress into Pisces on 29 March 2025 will place it in the 2nd house from Moon with only one Bhinnashtak Varga point, intensifying financial and reputational stress.
Manu Smriti Progression Insights
After Completion of 63 years
At age 63, the Manu Smriti progression chart shows vulnerability in professional standing and financial stability, with planetary configurations echoing both past cycles of challenge and current transit stressors.
Even the chart next year is full of Problems after completion of 64 years since moon will be in the Star of Saturn and Saturn is afflicted badly and is the 7th and the 8th Lord of the Progression chart and is MCL, 10th Lord < Indu Lagna Lord in the natal chart. This year is also year of Deep Crisis
Additional 2025 Trigger: Mrityu Bhaga & Vish Ghati in Progression charts
From June 2025, the 10th lord Mars will move into Mrityu Bhaga, a critical and inauspicious degree, further destabilising career and business affairs. At the same time, Saturn—which is not only the 10th lord and MCL of the 10th house of the natal chart but also the Indu Lagna lord—will be placed in Vish Ghati in close conjunction with Rahu–Ketu. Compounding this, the Sun, significator of status, government, and royalty, will also be in Vish Ghati. These overlapping malefic conditions point to an explosive phase for Gautam Adani, both in the present and in the year ahead, potentially escalating from June 2025 onwards.
The worst dasha will be Venus-Jupiter-Saturn or Venus-Jupiter-Ketu between the 17-6-2025 to 1-6-2026
Forecast: The Road Ahead
From an astrological standpoint:
-
The Venus–Rahu phase continues to deliver unexpected shocks.
-
Venus–Jupiter (Feb 2025 – Oct 2027) could be the most testing period in decades, with business losses, reputational challenges, and legal entanglements.
-
The combination of Mrityu Bhaga, Vish Ghati placements, and Sade Sati will create a prolonged turbulence phase where global legal pressures and financial market challenges will converge.
Conclusion
The U.S. SEC indictment has put Gautam Adani’s empire under intense global scrutiny. While his chart shows immense business acumen and wealth potential, the alignment of Dasha, transit, and malefic placements from mid-2025 onwards indicates a sustained period of trial—possibly the most defining and challenging phase of his career.
