🪐 Introduction: When Legends Step Back, the Cosmos Speaks
Warren Buffett, the legendary “Oracle of Omaha,” will retire as Chairman and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway by the end of 2025. While the business world sees it as a passing of the torch, Vedic astrology reveals something far deeper — a profound karmic timing. With Ketu exactly transiting over his 10th lord Sun, a Jupiter–Saturn dasha in play, and Jupiter returning to its natal position in the 8th house, the astrological indicators of retirement, detachment, and legacy preservation are remarkably precise.
📖 Warren Buffett: Biography & Legacy
Warren Edward Buffett, born August 30, 1930, at 3:00 PM in Omaha, Nebraska, is widely regarded as one of the greatest investors in history. Known for his value investing philosophy, humility, and long-term strategies, Buffett turned Berkshire Hathaway into a global powerhouse.
At age 11, he bought his first stock.
Mentored by Benjamin Graham, he later built a company whose shares are among the highest priced in the world.
His letters to shareholders are considered investment bibles.
Despite being one of the world’s richest men, Buffett is famously frugal, living in the same home since 1958.
He has pledged to give away over 99% of his wealth through philanthropy, especially via the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
Buffett’s legacy is not just financial. It is ethical, educational, and spiritual — values strongly mirrored in his astrological timeline.

🕰️ Jupiter–Saturn Dasha (Aug 2024 – Feb 2027): Duty Meets Closure
Buffett’s retirement falls during Jupiter Mahadasha – Saturn Antardasha:
Jupiter: In the 8th house (Gemini), represents transformation, deep legacy, and dharma.
Saturn: In the 2nd house (Sagittarius, Moola Nakshatra), denotes stability, responsibility, and the weight of karmic duties.
Jupiter–Saturn is a dasha of maturity, karma execution, and long-term strategic decisions. It brings structured withdrawal and a graceful ending.
This dasha combination emphasizes:
Legacy handover
Completion of financial karma
Transition from power to purpose
🔥 Ketu Transit Over Natal Sun – The Spiritual Exit
At the end of 2025, Ketu will be exactly transiting over Buffett’s natal Sun (~15° Leo):
Sun is the 10th lord: house of career, public image, authority.
Ketu is the moksha-karaka: it disconnects, dissolves, ends, and liberates.
🌿 Classical Insight on Ketu (from Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra):
“Ketu bestows spiritual tendencies, asceticism, and detachment from worldly life. It is the separator.”
Ketus role is to cut the cord of ego and worldly position. Transiting over the 10th lord Sun, this transit indicates:
Stepping away from leadership
Finalizing one’s public karma
Surrendering power, not with loss, but with peace
This is not retirement due to weakness — it’s a soulful decision in perfect sync with Ketu’s role as the karmic terminator.
🔁 Jupiter Return in the 8th House: Karmic Reset
In 2025, transiting Jupiter returns to Gemini, his natal 8th house, where:
Jupiter and Mars already reside
This Jupiter Return in 8th house is profound:
Signifies major transformation
Emphasizes letting go of identity, power, or titles
Encourages teaching, legacy-building, philanthropy
Combined with Jupiter Mahadasha and Saturn Antardasha, this is the perfect planetary storm for:
Strategic succession planning
Departure with dignity
Preservation of legacy
🧘 The Spiritual Shift – When Dharma Overtakes Artha
Buffett’s Scorpio Lagna and Moon show a lifetime of transformation, but this retirement phase is different. It’s not about gaining — it’s about releasing.
Ketu over 10th lord Sun = Career detachment
Jupiter–Saturn dasha = Wisdom meets responsibility
Jupiter 8th return = Karmic reset and moksha focus
This phase is where dharma (Jupiter) and vairagya (Ketu) merge, elevating Buffett from a wealth icon to a teacher, donor, and legacy-builder.
👑 Buffett’s Legacy: Wealth + Wisdom + Dharma
Built a $750B+ conglomerate
Wrote some of the most quoted investment letters in history
Created The Giving Pledge with Bill Gates
Gave away over 50% of his wealth, planning for over 99%
Known for ethics, rationality, and frugality
Respected for keeping his values intact despite global power
His astrology now shows he’s entering the final phase of impact — through knowledge and giving, not leadership.
🌟 Final Reflections: Retirement Aligned with the Stars
Warren Buffett’s retirement is:
✔️ Timed with Jupiter–Saturn dasha — karma meets maturity
✔️ Aligned with Ketu’s exact transit over his 10th lord Sun
✔️ Empowered by a Jupiter 8th house return — the final transformation
✔️ Spiritually fueled by Scorpio’s regenerative strength
It’s a divine closure to a life of contribution, carried out with the same grace, humility, and foresight that defined his career.
