War Indicators by Astrologer Shankar Hegde: Astrological Insights into Future Wars and Conflicts

 

Introduction

Vedic astrology has long been used to forecast major world events, including wars. The War Indicators Suggested by Astrologer Shankar Hegde explores these events through the lens of planetary movements and India’s national horoscope. Using the ancient system of Trimsamsa, Navamsa, and Rashi charts, this analysis uncovers deep cosmic patterns influencing current geopolitics.

India’s Horoscope and War Indicators

1. Birth Chart of India

India’s chart is calculated for 15th August 1947 at midnight IST.

The fifth house hosts Rahu and Ketu in the Trimsamsa chart, indicating karmic disruptions.

Guru (Jupiter), placed in the sixth house, shows challenges in maintaining peace.

Key Insight: The presence of malefic nodes (Rahu/Ketu) in the house of children suggests issues like overpopulation and youth unrest—factors often fueling internal conflict.

 

2. Importance of the Third and Seventh Houses

The third house signifies borders, neighbors, and military tensions.

The seventh house denotes wars, open enemies, and international conflict.

India’s third house is highly active with planetary energies, showing ongoing border disputes. The Sun and Moon placed here also signal a period where external triggers can escalate tensions.

 

Planetary Alignments Linked to Wars

3. Saturn in Rohini Nakshatra – A Historic Pattern

In Vedic tradition, Saturn’s entry into Rohini Nakshatra has historically preceded major wars.

For a Maha Yuddha (great war) to occur, Saturn should be in a Kendra (angular house) while Rahu/Ketu also influence the same chart.

This rare alignment occurred before the Mahabharata war and has shown correlations with recent events like the 1971 and 1999 wars.

4. United States and Pakistan

USAs chart (Simha Lagna) shows a powerful seventh house with Chandra (Moon) and strong planets in the 11th house, making it militarily dominant.

Pakistan’s chart seems unstable, with planets in signs like Karka, suggesting internal conflicts and divisive tendencies.

5. Influence of Solar-Lunar Afflictions

In Varshaphala (yearly chart), if Sun and Moon are afflicted, war-like situations arise.

In 1971, Sun and Moon were aspected by Mars and Saturn, leading to a destructive war.

For 2025 and beyond, similar afflictions exist, especially with Saturn in Pisces and Uttarabhadrapada Nakshatra, indicating a window of high tension.

 

6. Ongoing Dasha Transits in India’s Chart

India is undergoing Chandra Dasha – Surya Bhukti.

Both planets are linked to the third house.

Transit of Mars over the third house increases chances of skirmishes or sudden strikes.

Summary: The current planetary periods align with the possibility of minor border attacks or skirmishes, especially involving Pakistan or internal unrest.

 

Types of Conflicts Predicted

7. Not Just Traditional Wars

Astrologer Shankar Hegde emphasizes that modern warfare is not only physical. It includes:

Cyber warfare

Border skirmishes

Internal revolts

Proxy wars (as seen in Kargil)

The possibility of a full-scale war exists, but localized or ideological battles seem more likely in the short term.

 

8. Spiritual Perspective on War

Referencing the Mahabharata, Shankar Hegde reminds us that even divine efforts like Krishna’s were not enough to stop war.

However, the message remains clear: “Wars bring irreversible damage. Dharma must prevail.”

9. Summary of Key Vedic Astrology Rules

Saturn in Rohini + Rahu/Ketu in Kendra = Potential for major war.

Afflicted Sun/Moon in annual charts = Triggers of national conflict.

Mars transit over the third house = Military operations or tension.

Rahu/Ketu in 5th house of Trimsamsa = Karmic unrest among youth and masses.

Strong seventh house activity = International disputes.

10. Predictions and Caution

Possibility of conflict around 2025–2026.

Intense border tensions may rise if Mars transits activate the third or seventh house.

Spiritual leaders and sages urge peace, mirroring Lord Krishna’s attempt in the Mahabharata.

 

Conclusion: A Call for Awareness

The War Prediction by Astrologer Shankar Hegde is not a call to fear, but a reminder to stay alert. Vedic astrology doesn’t predict doom—it helps us prepare and act wisely. As citizens, our responsibility lies in promoting peace, awareness, and dialogue.

May Dharma guide our decisions, and may wisdom prevail over conflict.
