Saturn, the god of justice, is going to be in retrograde state from March 13 to April 22. Coincidentally, Mercury and Mars are already set. From an astrological point of view, the simultaneous setting of three major planets indicates widespread upheaval and large-scale conflict in the country and around the world. In Vedic astrology, Saturn is the significator of *karma* (work) and justice; Mars represents energy and valor; And Mercury is the lord of intelligence and commerce. The setting of these planets will definitely have an impact on matters related to them.
Secondly, being shadow planets (*Chhaya Grahas*), Rahu and Ketu themselves never set. However, if the ruling planet of the sign through which Rahu or Ketu is transiting itself also sets, then these shadow planets produce adverse effects. Currently, Rahu is transiting through Aquarius, while Ketu is passing through Leo. This means that Rahu is transiting through Aquarius—which is the root trine sign of Saturn; And Saturn is the only planet which is about to set now. Additionally, Mars and Mercury—already in retrograde state—are also currently placed together in Aquarius, i.e. Saturn’s *Moolatrikona* sign. Such position of the planets indicates worsening of the situation both in the country and the world.
Saturn, which is on the verge of setting, is currently placed in Pisces; The Sun is also going to enter this zodiac sign in the middle of the month. As soon as the Sun will form a conjunction with Saturn in Pisces, a situation like conflict between the ruler and the subjects is likely to arise. There is a possibility of rebellion spreading across the world. Driven by selfishness, personal gain, and the desire to fulfill their own desires, people can become sworn enemies of each other. There is also a possibility of assassination of a prominent political leader. It is worth noting that the current global situation is already quite serious.
Impact on the country and the world
The ongoing conflict between the United States, Israel, and Iran shows no signs of abating. Initially, the US and Israel launched a joint attack on Iran, which not only resulted in loss of lives but also the death of Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Khamenei. Subsequently, Iran launched retaliatory attacks on Israel and US military bases in the Middle East. Meanwhile, there has been tension between Russia and other countries for a long time.
The world is in danger of an economic crisis.
Pisces is a water sign, and since Saturn is currently set (eclipsed) in this sign, there is a strong possibility of the financial crisis deepening further. The ongoing conflict between America, Israel and Iran is adversely affecting the global economy. People’s property and infrastructure have been heavily damaged, and the stock market is witnessing a massive decline, resulting in huge financial losses to investors.
Rahu is currently situated in *Mooltrikona* sign of Saturn. As a result—even if Rahu itself does not set—it will give the same results as Saturn. This situation could prove particularly dangerous on a global scale. To achieve their respective ambitions, countries can adopt a strategy of “match, price, punishment, discrimination” against each other—using every possible means at their disposal, from diplomacy and inducement to coercion and division. Of particular concern is that Mars and Mercury are also already set in Saturn’s sign; Under these circumstances, the situation may become even more worrying.
However, there is a ray of relief in that Jupiter—which is currently transiting through Gemini—is making its ninth aspect to Aquarius; Aquarius is the zodiac sign where Rahu, Mars and Mercury are currently gathered. Moreover, Jupiter has recently turned direct in its motion. Given the auspicious aspect of Jupiter on Aquarius, it seems that there are possibilities for the situation to stabilize and regain balance.
