Russia-Ukraine War: Astrological Predictions for 2025–2026

A Dangerous New Phase Begins

The Russia-Ukraine war has entered a perilous stage. According to a BBC report dated May 25, 2024, Russia launched its most intense missile and drone strike since the start of the war. At least 14 people, including three children, were killed, and dozens more were injured. The attacks came just a day after Kyiv suffered one of the heaviest assaults of the entire conflict.

Despite growing international calls for a ceasefire, Russia remains unrelenting. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated, “Without strong pressure on the Russian leadership, this cruelty cannot be stopped. America’s silence will only encourage Putin,” referencing U.S. President Donald Trump’s apparent reluctance to intervene.

To understand the trajectory of this conflict, we must consult the astrological indicators in Russia’s national horoscope—examining the Sudarshan Chakra, Varshphal (solar return), and planetary transits from key reference points (Lagna, Moon, and Sun).

Sudarshan Chakra Analysis

From Lagna (Ascendant):

  • The 36th year begins on June 12, 2025, corresponding to the 12th house, which falls in Leo.
  • Leo’s ruler Sun is placed in the 9th house, conjunct Mercury (ruler of the 10th and Ascendant).
  • This combination points toward foreign land gains (Ukraine) through loss and conflict. The alignment indicates territorial expansion amid fatal warfare.
  • If Leo is treated as Lagna, Sun (Lagna lord) in the 10th house with Mercury (2nd and 11th lord) suggests further military and territorial success—but at high cost.
  • This combination hints at the possible ignition of World War III during this period.

From Moon Lagna:

  • The 36th year corresponds to Sagittarius in the 12th house.
  • Sagittarius lord Jupiter is in the 6th house (house of war), aspected by Mars, which rules the 4th (territory) and 11th (gains) from moon lagna.
  • This configuration indicates violent conflict with Ukraine and NATO, with a high toll on both sides.
  • When Sagittarius is taken as Lagna, Jupiter in the 7th house (war) aspected by Mars from the 4th shows a prolonged, bloody war. Ukraine could succeed in damaging Russia’s critical infrastructure.

From Sun Lagna:

  • The 12th house falls in Aries, hosting Venus, which signifies losses and military setbacks for Russia .
  • Venus is also Lagna lord and 6th lord from Sun Lagna—indicating rising hostilities and the potential spread of the war across Europe.
  • If Aries is considered Lagna, Mars (its ruler) is placed in the 12th house—a negative sign.
  • Saturn aspects Mars, suggesting Kremlin’s difficult decision to escalate conflict beyond Ukraine.

Russia’s 36th Varshphal (2025–2026)

  • Leo Lagna rises—this is the 12th house from Russia’s natal Virgo Lagna, suggesting losses and military strain.
  • However, Mars, Ketu, and Muntha in the Lagna reflect Russia’s aggressive military posture.
  • Lagna lord Sun in the 10th house is favorable for Putin’s decisive leadership.

Key Varshphal Highlights:

  1. Year Lord Venus well-placed in the 9th house—strong luck.
  2. Muntha in Lagna with Mars and Ketu—intense drive toward war.
  3. Muntha Lord Sun in 10th house—strong leadership.
  4. Janma Lagna Lord Mercury in 11th—financial/military gains.
  5. Trirashi Pati Jupiter in 11th—powerful support and results.
  6. Din-Ratri Pati Venus in 9th—foreign affairs expansion.

Despite the 12th house progression in Sudarshan Chakra, the Varshphal is highly supportive of Russia’s military campaigns and territorial ambitions—likely pushing the war beyond Ukraine.

Russia’s 37th Varshphal (2026–2027)

  • Libra Lagna, the 2nd house of Russia’s natal chart, rises.
  • Venus (Lagna lord) is in the 10th with Jupiter (3rd and 6th lord)—a strong indicator of territorial extension.
  • However, Muntha in 12th house is a negative sign.
