Tariffs, Transit & Turmoil: As Trump Threatens BRICS Nations Over Russian Oil, PM Modi Heads to China for SCO Summit
When Geopolitics Aligns with the Cosmos: Five Malefic Yogas Signal a Global Power Shift
As global headlines scream of intensifying tariff wars and collapsing alliances, the heavens confirm what Vedic Astrology had long warned. U.S. President Donald Trump’s latest threat to impose steep tariffs on BRICS nations—including India, Russia, China, Brazil, and South Africa—for continuing to import Russian oil has triggered diplomatic shockwaves. The timing is uncanny. Just days later, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to visit China for the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Summit on August 31–September 1, 2025, to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
While the political narrative focuses on power, oil, and global strategy, the astrological lens reveals deeper karmic undercurrents—the activation of five rare malefic yogas that are now reshaping global order.
Tariffs, Transits & Tumult: Trump Slaps 50% Tariff on India Over Russian Oil—Markets Crash as Stars Foretold
In a dramatic escalation, U.S. President Donald Trump has imposed a crippling 50% tariff on Indian imports, citing India’s continued oil trade with Russia as a violation of U.S. sanction policies. This move comes just days before Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s planned visit to China for the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Summit (August 31–September 1, 2025), a summit that could reshape India’s foreign policy and economic strategy.
Markets responded violently—the Nifty crashed by over 1200 points, foreign institutional investors began a sharp sell-off, and panic gripped sectors such as pharmaceuticals, IT, textiles, and auto exports. This dramatic fall has aligned precisely with the activation of powerful planetary yogas I had predicted would unfold between mid-July to November 2025.
📉 Market Repercussions: Durbhiksha Yoga in Action
-
Nifty plunged over 1600 points within 48 hours of the tariff announcement. The nifty take take a nose dive from Tomorrow and worst around the 12th August 2025 and te Fortnight from the 9th August 2025 already discussed on my webpage
-
Rupee breached 89 per dollar, marking its weakest point in 24 months.
-
Sensex fell by more than 3500 points, erasing weeks of recovery.
-
Heavy outflows recorded from FIIs (Foreign Institutional Investors).
-
Bond yields spiked, and inflationary fears rose on the back of higher oil costs.
This is the materialization of the “Durbhiksha Yoga” I had detailed earlier—a rare planetary alignment indicating famine-like economic contraction, not seen since the Great Recession or WW1 era, now unfolding in the financial sector.
🪐 Astrological Triggers Behind This Economic Meltdown
| Malefic Yoga | Astrological Impact | Real-World Manifestation |
|---|---|---|
| Durbhiksha Yoga | Jupiter in accelerated motion + Saturn in Pisces (retrograde) | Stock market crash, inflation, oil shocks, economic slowdown |
| Shadastak Yoga | Mars in Leo, Saturn R in Pisces (6/8 axis) | Policy clash, combative diplomacy, economic retaliation |
| Samsaptak Yoga | Mars–Saturn opposition (1/7) | Global standoff: US vs BRICS/SCO |
| Mars–Ketu Vedha | Malefic planetary tension fueling conflict and disruption | Trump’s unpredictable aggression, tariff chaos |
| Bloodshed Yoga | Jupiter–Venus close in enemy signs | Crisis in economic harmony, market instability, and global tension |
🇺🇸 Trump’s Fall Triggered by Overreach?
Trump’s actions, though portrayed as strategic, are occurring during a dangerous phase astrologically:
-
He is under Jupiter-Venus Marka dashas and the eclipses in the 1/7 axis of the Ascendant and Mars may prove detrimental for his image and Fall as per Theory of Inevitability around the 24th Nov. 2025 when Mars activates the eclipse point of the lunar Eclipse of the 7th Sept. 2025 Dasha, showing instability and karmic retribution.
-
The upcoming triple eclipses (Sept 2025–Mar 2026) directly impact his 1st and 7th houses, eroding alliances and reputation.
-
Mars activates the March 2025 eclipse point, triggering geopolitical crisis.
-
Transit Jupiter and Venus conjunction in the 8th house from Natal Moon on the 12th August will bring Humiliations for Trump a classic yoga of downfall and humiliation.
This latest tariff imposition may backfire, both economically and politically, as India, China, and Russia are likely to strengthen ties under the BRICS and SCO umbrella—isolating the U.S. diplomatically.
🇮🇳 Modi’s SCO Visit: Strategic Counterbalance
As Trump weaponizes tariffs, PM Modi’s upcoming China visit appears increasingly symbolic and significant:
-
India may now seek preferential trade terms with Russia and China.
-
Talks of BRICS-backed oil currency or non-dollar settlements could accelerate.
-
India’s inclusion in regional logistics corridors and trade pacts may gain urgency.
-
It may even signal India’s gradual distancing from full U.S. alignment.
Astrologically, India is passing through the Moon–Sun Chidra Dasha, where the Sun (foreign policy, leadership) is under pressure, and Rahu is in the 11th in Dasha Varga—showing unstable alliances and trade shocks.

🔮 Astrological Validation of My Prior Predictions
In my previous articles dating back to early 2024 and reiterated in mid-2025, I had clearly stated:
“From mid-July to November 2025, the world will enter a dangerous astrological window as multiple rare malefic yogas converge. Political leaders will face karmic trials, financial markets will slip, and secret alliances will surface.”

🧭 Conclusion: Trump’s Gambit, Modi’s Pivot, and the Karma of Nations
While headlines suggest power plays, the planets reveal a deeper script unfolding. Trump’s threats may yield short-term diplomatic leverage—but under the current planetary climate, such aggression is astrologically unsustainable.
On the other hand, India’s balancing act, though delicate, may eventually position it as a key mediator in a multipolar world—especially as we enter 2026, where Saturn and Mars conjoin degree-wise to shake global hierarchies.
In Vedic Astrology, no action escapes karma. The transits of today are the headlines of tomorrow.
