Saturn, drifts through the dreamy waters of Pisces, where harsh realities crash into fragile illusions and key planetary alignments unfolding The early signs of a recession are emerging, and the spark of a renewed China–US tariff war could ignite major shifts in world affairs.
The United States has imposed a steep 125% tariff on Chinese goods. Let’s not forget new changes popping up every single day, signaling a dramatic escalation in the ongoing economic tensions (I just saw a news now it’s up 145%). While some countries are receiving tariff relief for three months, and India is too, the US has announced the suspension of additional tariffs for 90 days until July 9 of this year, according to White House executive orders. China finds itself under significant pressure. However, China’s refusal to concede stems from its economic leverage (e.g., control over critical supply chains, rare earth minerals, and consumer markets). The U.S. relies heavily on Chinese manufacturing (e.g., electronics, pharmaceuticals), making decoupling politically and economically costly.
India’s Strategic Opportunity
India has the potential to capitalize on this opportunity, but its domestic challenges of inadequate manufacturing infrastructure, bureaucratic red tape, and outdated labor laws impede its progress. Reforms like the production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme are steps forward, but it will take years to match China’s efficiency.
Astrologically, India is undergoing the Moon–Sun Dasha. The Sun, positioned in the Sagittarius sign in the 10th house of the D-10 chart, indicates the need for reforms and strict laws. India must rapidly reform industrial policies, simplify regulations, and scale up production capabilities because China’s strategic encroachment through neighboring countries like Pakistan and Bangladesh poses a latent threat, especially for India in South Asia.
Meanwhile, American businesses are not unscathed. Elon (Powerful Viparita Rajyoga in Elon Musk’s horoscope) Musk’s Tesla counts China as its second-largest market after the US, selling approximately 40% of its vehicles there. Tariffs and trade wars disrupt supply chains such as those for battery components and semiconductors, potentially leading to Chinese retaliation and significant financial losses. The trade war is hurting not only Chinese exporters but also American giants dependent on the Chinese consumer base.
In this high-stakes game for global supremacy, the world watches closely. Will the current pressures reshape the balance of power? Can India rise to the occasion? And will the stars align in its favor?
Transit of Sat-Rahu
In China’s chart, this conjunction takes place in the 3rd house, the house of diplomacy and strategy. This indicates that China may adopt unpredictable and bold moves, especially in foreign policy and trade negotiations. Rahu adds an element of secrecy and unconventional thinking, suggesting that China could deploy a sudden or deceptive strategy against the U.S., catching global powers off guard.
In America’s chart, the conjunction falls in the 8th house, the house of transformation, hidden threats, and power struggles. This can manifest as economic volatility, hidden crises, or internal power shifts, particularly related to financial systems and international influence. The U.S. may find itself dealing with unexpected shocks or revelations,
In India’s chart, this alignment occurs in the 11th house, the house of ambitions and alliances. suggesting that India could benefit from new international alliances and increased geopolitical influence. The current Moon–Sun Dasha further supports India’s potential to emerge as a bridge or alternative to the US-China divide, especially if proactive steps are taken in policy and manufacturing reform.
Let’s wait and watch as this strategic and celestial chessboard unfolds.
