Introduction: RSS at 100 Years

As the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) marks its centenary on October 1, 2025, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will attend the event in New Delhi as the Chief Guest. Founded in 1925 by Dr. K.B. Hedgewar, the RSS has been pivotal in shaping India’s socio-cultural narrative through its emphasis on patriotism, discipline, and service.
As India enters a turbulent astrological phase with the Mars Mahadasha (2025–2032) in its foundation horoscope, the RSS assumes new significance as a stabilizing and mobilizing force for Sanatan Dharmic resurgence.

1. Horoscope of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh

Date: 27 September 1925
Time: 10:10 a.m.
Place: Nagpur, Maharashtra
Lagna: Scorpio

Key Natal Structure

  • Lagna Lord Mars in 11th house with Sun (10th lord) and Mercury (8th & 11th lord) – a long-lasting organizational combination driven by ideology and mission.
  • Mars in Uttara Phalguni (Sun’s Nakshatra) – a karmic link to leadership and spiritual protection of Sanatan Dharma.
  • D-9 Navamsha: Leo rising, Sun (Lagna lord of D-9) conjoined Venus (10th lord) in 9th house — a strong Karmayoga echoing divine mission.

2. Current Vimshottari Dasha

Venus–Venus (31 Oct 2022 – 2 Mar 2026)

  • Venus: 7th and 12th lord in Vishakha (Jupiter’s Nakshatra), conjunct Saturn (3rd & 4th lord) in 12th house.
  • Dual results — decline and controversy, but long-term ideological gain.
  • From Moon Lagna: Venus acts as 5th & 10th lord in 10th house — showing rise in public recognition through spiritual and temple-building initiatives.

Result: This Venus period has witnessed the construction and consecration of Ram Mandir, reaffirming the RSS’s core religious mission.

Venus–Sun (2 Mar 2026 – 2 Mar 2027)

  • Sun (10th lord) conjoined Mars (Lagna lord) and Mercury (8th & 11th lord) in 11th house.
  • Indicates expansion, ideological assertiveness, and conflicts with political leadership (notably with BJP top figures).
  • In D-9, Sun with Venus in 9th house confirms a period of revival and religious assertion.

Forecast:
RSS will emerge more vocal on Sanatan Dharma issues, pushing temple reclamation and ideological boundaries.

Venus–Moon (2 Mar 2027 – 31 Oct 2028)

  • Moon (9th lord) conjunct Ketu in 3rd house – marks initiation of a new mission with spiritual motives but internal turbulence.
  • In D-10 (Dashamsha): Moon afflicted by Saturn and Mars — risk of violence or backlash against RSS cadres in some regions.

Forecast:
Growth in activity, but also possible violent reactions and ideological clashes.

3. Yogini Dasha Analysis

Venus Mahadasha (12 Nov 2022 – 11 Nov 2029)

  • Venus (7th & 12th lord) conjunct Saturn (3rd & 4th lord) – extensive groundwork, expansion into culturally distant areas.
  • In Navamsha, Venus conjunct Sun in 9th house under Jupiter’s aspect — secret spiritual mobilization and temple revival work.
  • Religious initiatives such as Krishna Janmabhoomi and Kashi Vishwanath expansion may take shape in this dasha.

Rahu Mahadasha (11 Nov 2029 – 11 Nov 2037)

  • Rahu in Pushya Nakshatra (Saturn’s star) – influence of Saturn (12th house) and Venus (7th/12th lord).
  • Expansive but also illusionary — ideological confusion regarding inclusiveness or participation of non-Hindu groups.
  • Caution: The Sangh should remain wary of internal dilution of its Sanatan identity.

4. Major Transits (2025–2028)

  • Saturn Transit (Pisces): In 5th house, aspecting natal Sun–Mars–Mercury in 11th → expansion of reach and structural reorganization.
  • Jupiter Transit (Cancer, 2026): Over natal Rahu → internal dispute with BJP leadership, particularly over organizational autonomy and ideological purity.

5. Horoscope of RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat

Date: 11 September 1950
Time: 11:04 a.m.
Place: Sangli, Maharashtra
Lagna: Scorpio

Key Points

  • Mars Lagna Lord in 12th house — spiritual leader but prone to controversies and isolation.
  • Sun, Moon, Venus, Saturn in 10th house — Sanyas Yoga indicating renunciative leadership.
  • Current Dasha: Jupiter–Rahu (July 2025 – Nov 2027)
    • Jupiter (2nd & 5th lord) afflicted by Saturn–Sun–Venus–Moon from 10th.
    • Rahu in 5th house (illusionary influence) – leadership without full respect, ideological contradictions.
  • Next Mahadasha of Saturn (2027–2046):
    • Saturn combust and afflicted — decline, internal criticism, and loss of stature.
    • D-9 placement shows opposition and eventual retirement period.

7. Concluding Forecast

  • RSS will assert its cultural authority, guiding the BJP and wider Hindu movements.
  • Yet, disputes between the RSS and BJP leadership (especially regarding Amit Shah’s influence) are foreseen between 2026–2028.
  • The period 2029–2032 under Rahu will redefine the ideological structure of the Sangh — expansion but need for ideological vigilance.

In summary: The RSS enters its centenary phase as a decisive force in India’s spiritual and political life.
Venus and Rahu dashas mark revival, expansion, and eventual transformation of its role — from silent cultural mentor to active custodian of Sanatan Dharma
