Mars–Saturn Affliction After June 7, 2025: Job Losses, Health Issues, Brain Strokes, and Marital Discord

Introduction

Since the 7th of June 2025, a dangerous astrological window has opened as Mars entered Leo afflicted by Ketu and simultaneously formed a Shadastaka Yoga (6/8 axis) with retrograde Saturn in Pisces. Later, the two malefics also formed an exact Samsaptak Yoga (opposition), aggravating the cosmic tensions.

Over the past week, I have been receiving multiple queries of job losses, ill health, brain strokes, and marital breakdowns, confirming the adverse fallout of these transits. The affliction involves critical houses of the Natural Zodiac, activating both disease and professional troubles.

The Role of Mars in the Natural Zodiac

• Mars is the Lagna Lord of the Natural Zodiac (Aries as the first sign).

• Its Mooltrikona sign Aries governs the head, brain, and blood circulation. Affliction to Mars directly points to diseases of the head, brain, and nervous system, including strokes.

• Mars also rules the 8th house (Scorpio) of the Natural Zodiac—signifying chronic, undiagnosed, or hidden diseases.

• When Mars is conjunct Ketu (a disease Karka), ailments manifest that are often difficult to diagnose or treat.

Saturn’s Role and Affliction

• Saturn is the 10th and 11th lord of the Natural Zodiac and becomes a Bhadak for Aries Lagna (as 11th lord).

• Currently retrograde in Pisces (12th house of the Natural Zodiac), Saturn signifies losses, isolation, hospitals, and confinement.

• Its opposition with Mars (Samsaptak Yoga) pits the 6th house of disease against the 12th house of hospitalization, creating fertile ground for illness and setbacks.

Key Astrological Combinations at Play

1. Mars + Ketu in Leo – difficult-to-diagnose diseases, accidents, blood disorders, and sudden health shocks.

2. Shadastaka Yoga (6/8 axis) Mars–Saturn – prolonged stress, hidden health problems, and struggles in professional stability.

3. Samsaptak Yoga (Mars–Saturn opposition) – a classic yoga of conflict, obstruction, and suffering, especially for natives under Mars or Saturn Dasha.

4. Mars in Virgo (6th house of diseases) – Mars here aspects Aries (head/brain), directly triggering strokes, migraines, and blood-related issues.

5. Saturn in Pisces (12th house) – hospitalization, job losses, and hidden enemies become active.

Impact on Different Areas of Life

1. Health and Brain Disorders

• Mars affliction to Aries Lagna brings headaches, brain strokes, neurological disorders, and blood pressure-related diseases.

• Jupiter’s aspect from Gemini adds complications in diagnosis.

• Many clients are reporting unexplained health issues that fall directly under these planetary influences.

2. Job Losses and Career Troubles

• Saturn as 10th lord afflicted and retrograde in 12th causes sudden job losses, workplace politics, and career instability.

• Mars in the 6th house brings conflicts with co-workers and legal disputes, leading to professional downfall.

3. Marital Discord and Violence

• Mars–Saturn opposition in sensitive houses also impacts marriages.

• I have received five cases in the past week of marital discord, violent quarrels, and even murder cases among newly married couples.

• The affliction of Mars (karaka of passion and aggression) with Saturn (karaka of suppression and delay) creates extreme friction in relationships.

Most Affected Natives

• Virgo Ascendant natives (as Mars is 8th lord and Saturn 6th lord here, forming dangerous combinations).

• Those undergoing Mars Dasha or Antardasha, particularly when Mars is 6th or 8th lord in their chart.

• Natives with weak Mars and Saturn placements in their natal charts.

Conclusion

The Mars–Saturn affliction post 7th June 2025 has opened a period of turmoil for health, jobs, and marriages. With Mars afflicted by Ketu and locked in opposition to Saturn, the cosmos has created an intense field of struggle, affecting individuals across multiple domains of life.

Those with Virgo ascendant, weak Mars/Saturn, or undergoing their dashas should remain especially cautious during this period. Preventive health checks, maintaining calm in relationships, and financial/job planning are strongly advised.
