Hindu New Year 2025-26: The Reign of the Sun – A Year of Power Struggles and Public Hardship”
According to Varsha Prabodha, when the Sun becomes the King of the Hindu New Year, it brings a decline in the production of food grains, milk, and fruits, leading to scarcity and inflation. Fire accidents, thefts, and robberies may rise, while rulers and governments face significant challenges and losses.
This year, with the Sun’s entry into Aries falling on a Sunday, the Sun also assumes the role of Prime Minister, amplifying its harsh effects. The pursuit of power and dominance will intensify, with influential leaders and wealthy elites engaging in fierce competition. The needs of the common people may be overlooked, reducing them to mere pawns in the game of authority
“Hindu New Year 2025-26: Waters of Change—Cyclones, Unrest, and Forced New Beginnings”
According to the Graha Yoga Prakaran of Bhavishya Phala Bhaskar, when four or five planets align in one sign, the Earth may face devastation through floods or bloodshed. On March 29, 2025, during the Pisces New Moon marking the Hindu New Year, the Sun, Moon, Mercury, and Venus will converge in the watery sign of Pisces. A day later, Saturn will join, forming a powerful five-planet conjunction.
This celestial alignment signals a heightened risk of cyclones, unseasonal rains, and water-related disasters. Alongside environmental turmoil, the planets foretell social upheaval and political turbulence. Systems and beliefs that no longer serve the collective may crumble, making way for forced transformations.
Expect a period of intense power struggles and ideological shifts, with old structures dismantled to make way for the new. However, whether this rebirth brings liberation or further control will depend on the choices made by leaders and societies.
When the Sun governs the year, it signifies:
Political Dominance: Expect strong, authoritative leadership across the globe. Governments may become more assertive, emphasizing national interests.
Power Struggles: Geopolitical tensions and leadership changes may emerge, especially in regions already facing instability.
Ego and Pride: Leaders may face challenges related to pride, stubbornness, and dominance. Diplomacy will be crucial to maintaining balance.
The Eighth House Influence: Transformation and Hidden Realities
The most striking aspect of this year’s chart is the placement of multiple planets in the 8th house from Leo Lagna. The 8th house represents secrets, transformations, crises, and rebirth. Planets like Sun, Moon, Rahu, Mercury, Venus, and Gulika all converging in Pisces amplify these themes.
Gulika’s Presence: Often seen as a malefic shadow planet, Gulika may indicate hidden dangers, conspiracies, and health-related concerns.
Rahu and Moon: Emotional instability, mass movements, or ideological shifts could surge globally.
Mercury and Venus: While communication and trade may see innovation, scandals and misinformation could also rise.
Pisces Influence: Spiritual awakening and humanitarian efforts could grow amidst uncertainty. Water-related issues like floods or maritime challenges may also dominate.
A year of reckoning and renewal awaits
Chart 2. Foundation Horoscope of India ,Let’s explore what this Hindu New Year has in store for India.
During this Hindu New Year, the major four planets—Saturn, Jupiter, Rahu, and Ketu—are transiting respectively. The current Dasha indicates these significant planetary zodiac changes and the houses they affect. This composite technique yields more precise results.
“India’s Astrological Outlook: Navigating Turmoil Amidst Global Chaos”
India is currently under the influence of the Chhidra Dasha of the Moon and Sun, a period often marked by transitions and challenges. In the nation’s foundation chart, Pisces occupies the 11th house and is further impacted by Gulika, indicating the likelihood of internal unrest and the imposition of strict laws and regulations.
With both the Year Lord and the Dasha Lord represented by the Sun, the nation may face heightened tensions, particularly involving border conflicts and geopolitical pressures. The Sun’s dominance suggests that leadership and authority will take center stage, with decisive actions being a key theme.
Despite the looming challenges, India’s resilience will shine through. The country’s capacity for strategic decision-making and diplomatic navigation will help it withstand global instability. While the road ahead may be turbulent, these astrological alignments also signify opportunities for strengthening alliances and asserting leadership on the global stage
“Astrological Insights on Agriculture: Jupiter’s Blessings and Malefic Catalysts”
According to Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra (Chapter 40), the sign of Gemini governs essential agricultural products like cereals, winter crops, vegetables, fruits, and water-grown resources like fox nuts and cotton.
On the other hand, the presence of malefic planets in the 3rd, 6th, 10th, or 11th house can also trigger a paradoxical effect — driving higher productivity. Often, adverse conditions push technological innovation or resilient farming practices, resulting in unexpected agricultural gains.
When Jupiter transits in the 2nd, 4th, 5th, 7th, 9th, 10th, or 11th house from Gemini, it enhances the yield of these crops, bringing abundance and prosperity in the agricultural sector.
