India’s 'Operation Sindoor': Astrology Predictions Indicate Strategic Shifts And Impact On Pakistan’s Economy

India launched ‘Operation Sindoor’, conducted strikes against terror infrastructure in Pakistan, PoK early Wednesday. Actions have been focused, measured and non-escalatory in nature. India has demonstrated considerable restraint in selection of targets and method of execution.

Amidst escalating tensions post-Pahalgam terror attack on April 22, 2025, entire country was outraged. Everybody across the nation was expecting and aspiring for some sort of strong retaliation. Many people were grumbling when will India take military actions against Pakistan? It is an open secret that Pakistan has been the breeding ground for terrorism for decades.

Meanwhile planetary configuration and significant transits indicate that now India will take the war against terrorism to its logical conclusion, ruining it permanently. India vows stern response to the cowardly heinous act of terrorists, killing innocent people at Pahalgam. Prime Minister Narendra Modi said in his first reaction that terrorists, their handlers and backers would be chased and hunted down to the ends of the earth.

During the on-going chaotic transits of Saturn-Rahu conjunction and Mars debilitation restraint is required. It suggests, avoid being impatient, rather try and win over the enemy strategically with shrewdness and tact. That’s the fact Indian Army’s strike on Pakistan and PoK was precision.

Looking at Pakistan’s birth (August 14, 1947) horoscope chart it clearly states that it’s Moon being with Mars in the Ardra nakshatra of Rahu creates a mindset fond of fighting (kalah priya) and continuing strife. Mars’ exalted aspect on the 10th house, underlying the control of army over the elected governments and political inconsistency.

During the current Vimshottri dasha, Pakistan is under the Mahadasha of Venus with Mercury bhukti in the Pratyanta of Rahu till July 28, 2025. In transit Saturn-Rahu conjunction is in the 10th house. Saturn moved in Pisces on March 29 followed by a Solar Eclipse on the commencement of New Vikram Samvat on March 30, 2025. There were six planets in the 10th house. This is supposed to be more serious and less frequent transition. In Astrology 10th house signifies political affairs, authority, power, status and respect. Hence karakatwas of tenth house are in peril for Pakistan.

Astrological analysis of India’s chart, based on midnight of August 15, 1947, when it became independent nation, indicates significant planetary strength. Major transits are also favourable these days. The Moon in independence chart is in its own sign Cancer in Pushya nakshatra, which is known as king among all twenty seven nakshatras in ancient scriptures. The Lord of Pushya nakshatra is Saturn, which is Yog karak for Taurus ascendant. Its Moon dasha operating from September 10, 2015, to September 9, 2025, is beneficial. Moon placed in its own house Cancer, which is 3rd from ascendant, is giving self-confidence, an edge over it’s enemy and all types of advantages. 

At present India is in the last phase of Moon dasha in Sun bhukti till September 9, 2025. Then Mahadasha of Mars will start. For Taurus ascendant, placement of Mars in 2nd house during its dasha indicates feat of power. Coincidentally, both the King and the Minister of present Vikram Samvat 2082 is Sun. Being lord of the fourth house, Sun is also powerful and auspicious.

Period of Saturn-Rahu conjunction till May 18, 2025, specifically and debilitating Mars till June 7, 2025, more or less will remain critical as per India’s perspective. India will try to rattle and bleed Pakistan by hook or by crook.

Astrologically speaking,  unlike the swift surgical strikes after Uri and Pulwama terror attacks, this time India intends to adopt more serious and calibrated approach. Now war does not happen on the borders or along LoC only. The non-military actions are much more severe, intense and last longing. India has taken a slew of measures against Pakistan. India suspended Indus Water Treaty, bans all direct and indirect trade between the two countries with immediate effect, including deportations of nationals, closing Attari-Wagah border and it’s airspace, etc. These are huge setbacks for Pakistan’s economy, now facing a tougher road ahead.

In coming days, Jupiter moves to 2nd house in Gemini on 14 May and Rahu moves to 10th house in Aquarius on May 18 in India’s chart. Both are beneficial transits. Jupiter’s aspect on Rahu will stimulate positive sentiments and enhance diplomatic endeavors. India will not only win perceptional war against Pakistan globally but achieve tactical advantage over it’s enemy. Planetary position is quite favourable for India and suggests to take mature, prudent and bold diplomatic steps to ensure an end to the ruckus forever.

For Pakistan, it is cosmic justice; Karma has no menu, you get served what you deserve.
