Lunar Eclipse on 7 September 2025 and Its Impact on India

The second lunar eclipse of 2025 will occur on Sunday, 7 September, and will be clearly visible in India along with many other regions including Asia, Australia, Europe, North America, South America (east), Africa, and New Zealand. As per traditional Hindu norms, the Sutak period will be applicable in all regions where the eclipse is visible. It begins at 12:57 PM IST and lasts until the end of the eclipse at 1:26 AM IST on 8 September 2025.

This will be a total lunar eclipse, occurring on the full moon day of the Bhadrapada month, in the Aquarius sign and Purvabhadrapada Nakshatra. The Moon will conjoin Rahu, while the Sun, Ketu, and Mercury will occupy the 7th house from the Moon. Mars will be in the 8th house, Venus in the 6th, Jupiter in the 5th, and Saturn in the 2nd house from the Moon. Notably, the eclipse will be fully visible in India.

Foundation horoscope if India

India’s Foundation Horoscope: Mars Mahadasha Begins with a Lunar Eclipse

India is set to enter the Mahadasha of Mars on 4 September 2025, marking a pivotal shift in the nation’s destiny. Mars, the lord of the 7th and 12th houses, is posited in the 2nd house in India’s Taurus Lagna chart, casting its aspect on the 5th, 8th, and 9th houses. This planetary configuration is crucial, especially as it coincides with a total lunar eclipse on 7 September 2025, falling in Aquarius, the 10th house of India’s foundation chart.

Three Sensitive Astrological Triggers

  1. Mars Mahadasha begins just three days before the 7 September lunar eclipse, which falls in the 10th house, the house of government, leadership, and public standing.
  2. A powerful Mars–Saturn opposition occurs in transit, along the 5th/11th axis, further intensifying socio-political tensions.
  3. The Rahu–Ketu transit across the 4th/10th axis affects the national psyche, domestic peace, and the image of ruling authorities.

These astrological alignments indicate that the lunar eclipse may act as an ominous trigger for the ruling class, particularly the Modi government. The nation may witness judicial activism, leftist opposition, unrest from minority communities, and increased internal sabotage by anti-establishment forces.

Lunar Eclipse Lagna: Aries Rising – 12th House Activation

The lunar eclipse, calculated for 9:57 PM IST on 7 September 2025 in Delhi, has an Aries Lagna. Aries is the 12th house from Taurus Lagna (India’s natal ascendant), symbolizing:

  • Hidden enemies and espionage
  • Increased national expenditures
  • Military conflict or preparedness
  • Influx of illegal migrants
  • Foreign interference

These themes will define the beginning of India’s Mars Mahadasha phase.

India’s Dasha Sequence at the Time of the Eclipse: Mars–Mars–Rahu (12 Sept – 5 Oct 2025)

🔴 Mars (Mahadasha & Antardasha Lord)

Mars, the 7th and 12th lord, placed in the 2nd house, is a strong maraka for Taurus Lagna. It influences key national domains:

  • 2nd House: Finance, banking sector, RBI policies. May see volatility, but also positive FDI inflows.
  • Military & Security: Mars, as karaka for weapons, police, army, indicates a massive boost in:
    • Defense modernization
    • Expansion of fighter aircraft squadrons from 27 to 35
    • Missile and aerospace technology

Mars’ aspects:

  • 5th House: Leftist ecosystems and intellectual class may intensify anti-government propaganda.
  • 8th House: Potential for political sex scandals, exposure of hidden enemies.
  • 9th House: Judicial reforms, possibly through forceful executive intervention.

🌀 Rahu (Pratyantar Lord: 12 Sept – 5 Oct 2025)

Rahu is posited in Lagna of India’s foundation chart. Rahu signifies:

  • Confusion, illusion, unrest from minority communities
  • Riots in eastern India, particularly Assam and West Bengal
  • Rahu’s dispositor, Venus, is hemmed between Sun (malefic ahead) and retro Saturn (behind), indicating:
    • Cross-border infiltration (especially Jammu & Kashmir)
    • Heightened terrorist activity from neighboring countries

In the Navamsha (D-9), Rahu is in the 12th house, aspected by Moon (5th lord from 6th), suggesting:

  • Poisonous ideological influence on the minds of the minority youth
  • Foreign-funded misinformation campaigns aimed at destabilizing the Modi government

Jupiter Pratyantar (5 Oct – 25 Oct 2025)

Jupiter is the 8th and 11th lord, placed in the 6th house, and its praatyaanter  indicates:

  • Border disputes with Pakistan and Bangladesh
  • Increased military spending and procurement
  • Strategic focus on modernization of India’s air force fleet, due to Jupiter being in an airy sign

From Moon Lagna, Jupiter as 6th and 9th lord in the 4th house implies:

  • Opposition efforts to destabilize the Modi government
  • Threats to national unity and peace

In the Dashamsha (D-10) chart, Jupiter in the 4th house, aspected by Sun and Saturn, reflects:

  • Government’s struggle to maintain control
  • Efforts toward political and bureaucratic stability

The 4th house here is symbolic of the throne of the king—highlighting pressure on Modi’s leadership.

Saturn Pratyantar (25 Oct – 17 Nov 2025)

Saturn, as 9th and 10th lord, is placed in the 3rd house and conjunct with Sun, Moon, Mercury, and Venus—a tense combination.

  • Mars–Saturn combinations often bring crises, conflicts, or judicial intervention.
  • Saturn is afflicted through opposition with Sun and its position in the 2/12 relationship with Mahadasha lord Mars further aggravates stress.

In Navamsha (D-9):

  • Saturn is 11th and 12th lord, conjunct Venus
  • Forms Papakartari Yoga, caught between Rahu in the 2nd and Mars in the 12th

These combinations suggest:

  • Significant pressure on the Modi government
  • Opposition attempts to paralyze governance
  • Economic instability and foreign policy tensions

Notably, the lunar eclipse occurs in Saturn’s sign (Aquarius), and Saturn is the Pratyantar lord, intensifying its malefic impact.

Conclusion

The lunar eclipse of 7 September 2025, combined with the beginning of Mars Mahadasha, activates highly sensitive areas in India’s foundation horoscope. Expect:

  • Increased geopolitical and border tensions
  • A rise in communal polarization and leftist activism
  • Unrest fueled by foreign-backed ideological propaganda
  • Potential attempts to discredit or destabilize the Modi government

However, the strong placement of Mars, and its role in defense, infrastructure, and foreign investment, may provide strategic advantage if leveraged wisely. The coming years will be turbulent—but also transformative—for India on the global stage

HOROSOCOPE OF PM NARENDRA MODI

Lunar Eclipse of 7 September 2025 and Its Impact on PM Narendra Modi

The lunar eclipse on 7 September 2025 occurs in the Aquarius sign, which falls in the 4th house of PM Narendra Modi’s natal chart, directly over his natal Jupiter and activating the 4/10 axis—the axis of power, governance, and public image.

Currently, PM Modi is running the Mahadasha of Mars, the Ascendant (Lagna) lord and 6th house lord, which is powerfully placed in the Lagna with the 9th lord Moon. This combination is highly auspicious and protective.

Let it be made very clear:
🛑 This lunar eclipse will not have any major negative impact on PM Narendra Modi, and there is absolutely no chance of his government falling at the Center in the near future.

Jupiter in Taurus and Historical Context: The K.N. Rao Perspective

According to the research of K.N. Rao, the transit of Jupiter in Taurus—the Ascendant of India’s foundation chart—has historically correlated with regime changes at the Center. However, this pattern did not manifest in 2024.

In 2024, Jupiter transited Taurus, and yet PM Modi remained in power. Though he had to form a coalition government, he still retained leadership, proving once again his political resilience.

Let us not forget that:

  • He has been Chief Minister of Gujarat since 3 October 2001
  • He has served as Prime Minister of India since 2014

🔺 PM Narendra Modi has now become an “invisible force” in Indian politics. Defeating him electorally is near impossible, and based on astrological indicators, he will continue to rule until he crosses the age of 90, after which he is likely to retire or take sannyas from political life.

Astrological Timing During the Lunar Eclipse

Mahadasha–Antardasha–Pratyantardasha: Mars–Ketu–Jupiter (25 Aug – 14 Sept 2025)

  • Jupiter, the Pratyantardasha lord, is the 2nd and 5th lord, placed in the 4th house.
  • It is under affliction from Mars, Saturn, and Venus.
  • The 4th house, symbolizing the “throne of the king”, is activated.
  • Due to malefic aspects, there will be intense speculation and rumors among opponents that Modi’s government could be overthrown.
  • However, this Jupiter Pratyantar is too short to produce such a drastic outcome.
  • Instead, this period will show a rise in adversaries and intensified opposition, owing to Mars’ aspect as 6th lord.

Pratyantardasha of Saturn (14 Sept – 8 Oct 2025)

  • Saturn, the Pratyantar lord, is the 3rd and 4th house lord, and the lunar eclipse is occurring in its own sign Aquarius.
  • Natal Saturn aspects its own sign, providing astrological protection to PM Modi during the eclipse.
  • While Saturn’s influence may bring pressure, criticism, and judicial or media scrutiny, it ultimately safeguards his leadership.

Conclusion: PM Modi’s Leadership Is Intact

Despite the lunar eclipse falling on the 4th house and natal Jupiter, the Mahadasha of Mars, combined with favorable placements and protective influences from Saturn, ensures PM Narendra Modi’s position remains secure.

This eclipse may amplify:

  • Political opposition and agitation
  • Attempts at destabilization through propaganda
  • Increased efforts by foreign and internal adversaries

But none of these will succeed in dislodging him from power. His astrological chart continues to show strength, resilience, and a historic role in Indian politics that will continue well into the next decade

Lunar Eclipse of 7 September 2025 and Its Impact on BJP

The lunar eclipse of 7 September 2025 occurs in the Aquarius sign, affecting the 3rd/9th house axis in the foundation horoscope of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Significantly, Mercury, the Lagna lord of BJP, is placed in Aquarius, making this eclipse highly relevant for the party’s performance and internal dynamics.

Since this eclipse is visible in India, its effects will be prominent and long-lasting, especially on parties in power.

Key Astrological Factors to Consider

  1. Eclipse on Lagna Lord Mercury:
    • The lunar eclipse is falling directly on the Lagna lord Mercury, which is not favorable.
    • Mercury represents intellect, communication, and leadership clarity, so this eclipse could trigger confusion, leadership miscommunication, and strategic missteps.
  2. Multiple Retrograde Malefics Involved:
    • Saturn (retrograde), Mars (retrograde), Jupiter (retrograde), and ketu are all either conjunct or aspecting the eclipse point, creating a volatile and intense planetary environment.
    • This combination indicates upheaval, internal challenges, and external communal disturbances.

Horoscope of BJP

Predicted Political Implications for BJP

  • In the coming months, BJP is likely to launch aggressive campaigns that may polarize the majority vote in its favor. This will likely lead to massive opposition backlash and create national-level communal tension.
  • The start of Mars Mahadasha in India’s national chart (4 Sept 2025) will create a climate of assertion, militarism, and internal tension, which will benefit BJP politically, especially by strengthening its image as a party of law, order, and nationalism.

Bihar Assembly Election 2025: BJP’s Edge

Despite the turmoil, BJP is expected to win the Bihar Assembly Election in alliance with Nitish Kumar. The Mars Mahadasha beginning in India’s foundation chart will support nationalist and right-wing agendas, helping the BJP consolidate power in key states like Bihar.

Leadership Crisis Likely in BJP by Early 2026

  • This eclipse is happening 4th from the Moon Lagna in BJP’s chart, indicating a shaking of the party’s foundations.
  • Expect a leadership crisis within the BJP roughly six months after the eclipse—around March 2026.
  • Internal dissent, conflicting strategies, and the emergence of alternate power centers are likely.

Current Dasha/Antardasha/Pratyantardasha: Moon–Ketu–Mars (2–15 October 2025)

  • Mars, the Pratyantardasha lord, is the 6th and 11th lord, retrograde and placed in the 3rd house alongside retrograde Saturn, retrograde Jupiter, and Rahu.
  • The 3rd house represents self-effort, media, and internal communication, indicating that BJP will take strong, combative actions to control the narrative.
  • Mars as 6th lord conjunct with retro Saturn and Jupiter shows aggressive tackling of enemies, but also rising conflict and resistance.
  • However, Rahu’s involvement points to communal tension, misleading information, and confusion on the ground, especially in managing civil unrest.
  • In this period, UP CM Yogi Adityanath is likely to emerge as a crisis manager, helping the central leadership stabilize the situation.

Moon–Ketu–Rahu (15 Oct – 16 Nov 2025)

  • Rahu as Pratyantardasha lord signifies confusion, illusion, and minority-related issues.
  • BJP’s central leadership may feel helpless in dealing with rising communal unrest.
  • Rahu, being associated with the minority class and foreign elements, will trigger nationwide unrest, especially in sensitive border states.
  • Although this period is challenging for central leadership, it may not impact state leaders like CM Yogi Adityanath or CM Himanta Biswa Sarma, who will likely gain political strength.

Larger Dasha Context: The Mars Era Begins

  • India’s foundation horoscope enters Mars Mahadasha on 4 September 2025.
  • PM Narendra Modi is already running Mars–Ketu from 4 December 2025.
  • BJP’s horoscope will enter Mars Mahadasha on 17 April 2028.

🔺This Mars period for the nation, PM Modi, and later the BJP, indicates:

  • A militarized, hyper-nationalist narrative
  • Rise in communal and geopolitical conflicts
  • Strengthening of right-wing politics
  • State-led dominance over opposition and judiciary

Conclusion: Turbulence with Strategic Gains

While this lunar eclipse brings a storm of confusion, unrest, and leadership stress for BJP, it also signals major political mobilization and consolidation of its base.

The party may struggle to manage national unrest in late 2025, but it will also successfully exploit the situation to:

  • Consolidate Hindu votes
  • Win key state elections like Bihar
  • Strengthen emerging state leaders
  • Build momentum toward 2029 Lok Sabha elections

HOROSCOPE OF CM YOGI ADTIYA NATH

Lunar Eclipse of 7 September 2025 and Its Impact on CM Yogi Adityanath

The lunar eclipse of 7 September 2025 falls in the Aquarius sign, activating the 7th house in the horoscope of CM Yogi Adityanath. Notably, his natal Moon is placed in Aquarius and is directly involved in this eclipse, raising concerns about internal conflicts and political friction.

Eclipse Analysis: Internal Threats over External Ones

  • Moon, being the 12th lord, is placed in the 7th house, which is a marak (death-inflicting) house, and it becomes afflicted during the eclipse.
  • From the Moon Lagna, the Moon is the 6th lord, indicating opposition and enmity. This reinforces the idea that enemies within the party, especially from the central leadership, could create significant hurdles.
  • The eclipse is occurring in Saturn’s sign, and natal Saturn, which is both 6th and 7th lord, aspects the eclipse point—suggesting that covert hostility and betrayal may emerge from close aides or powerful insiders.
  • From the Moon Lagna, Saturn’s aspect on the Moon sign points toward “sleeping enemies”—individuals close to CM Yogi Adityanath who may sabotage his authority under pressure from higher command.

Key Dasha Timeline: Venus–Venus–Moon (11 Aug – 21 Nov 2025)

  • The Pratyantar Dasha of Moon will be active during the aftermath of the lunar eclipse, from 11 August to 21 November 2025, a very sensitive period for CM Yogi.
  • Moon, being the 12th lord, placed in the 7th house, makes this a marak dasha. The involvement of Moon in the eclipse indicates personal attacks, political rivalry, and even character assassination may be initiated by rivals within the party.
  • The Moon is afflicted by Saturn, highlighting severe opposition and challenges to leadership.
  • The eclipse on natal Moon suggests communal unrest, especially on majority-minority issues, which could destabilize his governance in Uttar Pradesh and attract criticism from BJP’s central leadership.

Nakshatra and Navamsha Analysis

  • CM Yogi’s Moon is in the Purvabhadra Nakshatra, which is currently afflicted. This nakshatra is deeply philosophical and spiritual, but under eclipse affliction, it brings emotional turbulence, betrayal, and public pressure.
  • In the Navamsha (D-9) chart, the Moon is exalted, offering strength, but it suffers from a severe Papakartari Yoga (hemmed between malefics), indicating personal isolation and mental pressure.
  • This reflects a time of internal conflict, where CM Yogi may feel cornered, even if publicly supported.

Political Impact: Central Leadership Pressure

  • CM Yogi Adityanath may face questioning over his growing national image, particularly related to future PM candidature.
  • Those in the central BJP leadership, threatened by his rising popularity, may use indirect methods, including ministerial sabotage and administrative non-cooperation, to undermine his authority in Uttar Pradesh.
  • The use of loyalists within his government as stooges by rivals in the center may further isolate him.

Communal Tensions as a Catalyst

  • The eclipse also signals a rise in communal tensions in Uttar Pradesh, likely triggered by Rahu’s involvement with the Moon.
  •  

Spiritual Protection and Personal Strength

Despite these challenges, CM Yogi Adityanath enjoys spiritual resilience. His connection to Lord Shiva and his ascetic yogic background grant him a rare form of inner protection and divine grace during this turbulent period.

Conclusion: Watchful Period Ahead

  • The lunar eclipse of 7 September 2025 is a high-stakes celestial event in CM Yogi Adityanath’s chart.
  • He must remain extremely cautious, particularly of internal betrayal, more than external opposition.
  • While he may face character attacks, political sabotage, and leadership isolation, his spiritual resolve and divine blessings may guide him through

HOROSCOPE OF CONGRESS-I

Lunar Eclipse of 7 September 2025: Astrological Impact on Congress-I and Sonia Gandhi

Congress-I Horoscope: Eclipse in the 12th House

The lunar eclipse of 7 September 2025 will occur in the 12th house of the Congress-I horoscope, falling along the 6/12 axis, which is traditionally considered challenging in mundane astrology. This axis governs themes such as enemies, losses, foreign influences, isolation, and legal or institutional difficulties.

  • From the Moon Lagna, the eclipse occurs in the 6th house, activating issues related to conflict, disease, debt, and competition.
  • The sign dispositor of the eclipse, retrograde Saturn, is placed in the 6th house, amplifying internal struggles, legal troubles, and the rise of political adversaries.
  • However, natal Jupiter—a benefic planet—aspects the eclipse point, which brings a mitigating influence. Jupiter’s grace can help contain the damage and even allow Congress-I to strategically respond to its adversaries.
  • Overall, while the eclipse is unfavorable, it is not catastrophic for Congress-I. The party may face legal pressure, health-related concerns within its leadership, and internal power struggles, but it retains some ability to fight back.

HOROSCSCOPE OF SONIA GANDHI

Sonia Gandhi: Lunar Eclipse in the 8th House – Health Vulnerabilities

The horoscope of Congress-I matriarch Sonia Gandhi has Cancer Lagna, and the 7 September 2025 lunar eclipse falls in her 8th house, which governs longevity, health, hidden matters, and transformations.

  • The eighth house eclipse is a classic indicator of health complications, emotional stress, and possible hospitalization, especially when the sign lord, retrograde Saturn, is placed in the Lagna (ascendant)—suggesting physical or psychological strain.
  • Fortunately, natal Jupiter’s aspect on the eclipse in the 8th house provides some protective influence, reducing the intensity of the affliction.
  • Still, the combination of an eclipse in the house of chronic illness and Saturn in the Lagna suggests that Sonia Gandhi may experience a significant health challenge or require medical attention in the months following the eclipse.
  • .

Conclusion: Eclipse Marks a Turbulent Period, But Not a Collapse

  • For Congress-I, the lunar eclipse may bring legal challenges, defamation risks, and rising opposition, but the party retains potential for strategic recovery.
  • For Sonia Gandhi, the astrological configuration highlights a critical period for health, especially involving old or chronic conditions.
  • The presence of Jupiter’s benefic aspect offers  medical protection, but caution and proactive care are advised

HOROSCOPE OF LUNAR ECLIPSE

Horoscope Analysis of the Lunar Eclipse on 7 September 2025 — Delhi, India (9:57 PM)

The lunar eclipse on 7 September 2025 at 9:57 PM IST casts a powerful astrological imprint over India. The chart drawn for Delhi, the capital, shows Aries rising—the 12th house of the foundation chart of independent India (15 August 1947, midnight, Delhi). This is significant and ominous, as the 12th house is associated with loss, foreign enemies, isolation, violence, and unrest.

Mars in 6th House & Retrograde Saturn in 12th: Brewing Conflict

  • Mars, the lagna lord, is placed in the 6th house, a house of conflict, disease, and enemies, indicating an aggressive and combative national mood.
  • Retrograde Saturn, from the 12th house, is casting its full aspect on Mars, showing hidden enemies, state confusion, and inability of institutions to respond efficiently.
  • This Mars-Saturn opposition—both placed in dushtanas (malefic houses)—points to a potential war-like situation, internal chaos, and civil unrest in the weeks following the eclipse.

Political and Social Implications: SIR Movement, Home Ministry Crisis

  • The SIR movement, possibly an agitation or a politically sensitive initiative announced or supported by the Election Commission, may spiral out of control.
  • Widespread riots and law-and-order breakdown could follow across various parts of India, and the central government may be seen as indecisive and struggling to handle the situation.
  • The Home Ministry, in particular, will come under intense public criticism for its perceived failure to contain the situation, especially if provoked by political opposition forces.

9th House Under Affliction: Judicial Shock, Religious Tension

  • The 9th house, governing judiciary, religion, higher law, and national ideology, is afflicted by both Mars and retrograde Saturn.
  • This planetary strain indicates tension sparked by a judicial decision—possibly one that goes against the interests of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government, leading to nationwide political backlash.
  • As the 9th house also symbolizes religion, there is a high risk of communal unrest triggered by legal, political, or administrative decisions.

Conclusion: A Volatile National Climate Ahead

The lunar eclipse of 7 September 2025, falling under Aries rising, creates a tense and dangerous astrological climate for India. The alignment of Mars and Saturn across the 6th and 12th houses, combined with the eclipse axis afflicting the 9th house, paints a picture of internal disorder, political confusion, public rage, and communal flare-ups.

This period may mark a critical turning point in India’s political narrative, with the central government under immense pressure, and the opposition using every opportunity to capitalize on instability.

  • Final Thoughts

The 7 September 2025 lunar eclipse marks a critical turning point for India. With the nation entering Mars Mahadasha, and the eclipse touching sensitive points in charts of India, BJP, and its key leaders, the second half of 2025 and 2026 will see:

  • Rising communal tensions
  • Greater focus on national defense
  • Political churning and internal party conflicts
  • Attempts to destabilize the ruling government
    Yet, Modi’s hold remains strong, and BJP may emerge stronger after initial chaos, helped by leaders like CM Yogi.
