Introduction
The United States government shutdown, which began on October 1, continues as Democrats and Republicans remain unable to agree on a funding bill. The deadlock has stretched beyond one month, severely impacting the daily lives of Americans.
Approximately 730,000 federal employees (about 32% of the federal workforce) are working without pay, while 670,000 have been furloughed, sent home due to the lack of legal funding. The number will rise as the shutdown continues and government departments exhaust their financial reserves.
Astrologically, this event marks a crucial turning point in the destiny of the United States, signaling the start of a slow and irreversible decline of American dominance on the global stage. The horoscope of the United States, along with that of its current President Donald Trump, reveals the planetary causes behind this downfall.
Horoscope of the United States
Birth Data: 4 July 1776, 10:20 hrs, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA
Lagna: Leo (Simha Lagna)
In the U.S. national horoscope, Leo Lagna is rising with Lagna Lord Sun placed in the 11th house of gain, conjunct Venus (3rd and 10th lord), Jupiter (5th and 12th lord), and Mars (4th and 9th lord). All these planets are under the aspect of Saturn (6th and 7th lord), creating a yoga for material success achieved at the cost of ideals and ethical conduct.
Historically, this combination has made the U.S. a nation that engages in wars and global interventions to sustain its arms and ammunition industry. However, the same planetary energies now turn inward, bringing financial crises and internal discord, as seen in the ongoing shutdown.
The American public faces increasing hardship — the first astrological kick-start of a long cycle of economic decline and political division, which will intensify under President Donald Trump’s leadership.
Vimshottari Mahadasha Analysis: Rahu–Saturn (27 September 2023 – 27 September 2026)
The current Rahu Mahadasha plays a decisive role in shaping the downfall.
Rahu is posited in the 12th house (Cancer sign) — a house of expenditure, loss, and chaos — showing tendencies of fear, instability, and national confusion. Rahu in Pushya Nakshatra (ruled by Saturn) magnifies the effects of war, debt, riots, and protests, reflecting the nation’s current political paralysis and financial stagnation.
Saturn, being the 6th and 7th lord, is placed in the 2nd house of finance and banking, directly attacking the nation’s economic backbone. This dasha combination triggers banking instability, unemployment, and debt, as government departments struggle to fund salaries and operations.
Rahu’s placement in the 12th from Lagna and 6th from Moon Lagna symbolizes a war-like environment, both external and internal. In Navamsha (D-9), Rahu is in Scorpio (12th house) — indicating the fall of the U.S. dollar and the dismantling of America’s superpower status.
Astrologically, Rahu also represents Islamic expansion and social infiltration — suggesting a rapid demographic transformation within the U.S. during this period.
Anterdasha of Saturn
During Rahu–Saturn, Saturn acts as the agent of karmic retribution. As 6th and 7th lord in the 2nd house, it brings:
- Poor revenue and rising national debt,
- Financial instability and stock market crashes,
- Unrest among the working class and middle-income groups.
Afflicted by Mars’ aspect from the 11th house, Saturn creates tension across government and social systems. In Dashamsha (D-10), Saturn’s conjunction with Sun (4th lord) in the 9th house signifies public dissatisfaction and leadership instability.
This period will be remembered for the re-emergence of Trump and the start of America’s structural collapse as a global power.
Anterdasha of Mercury (27 September 2026 – 16 April 2029)
Mercury, being retrograde and combust, is badly afflicted in the 12th house, conjunct Rahu. As 2nd and 11th lord, Mercury governs trade, banking, and commerce — all of which will suffer during this period.
Key effects expected:
- Financial and trade crises,
- Air and rail disasters,
- Technological and cyber disruptions,
- Academic decline and confusion in policy.
In D-10 Dashamsha, Mercury’s placement in the 12th house again reinforces foreign trade collapse and economic contraction.
Thus, the Rahu–Mercury period will accelerate America’s downfall faster than before, symbolizing illusion-driven governance and market deception.
Yogini Mahadasha Overview (2026–2029)
Moon Yogini Dasha (27 February 2026 – 28 February 2027)
Moon, as the 12th lord, is placed in the 7th house of war, a classic indicator of foreign entanglement and massive expenditure. Under Saturn’s Sade Sati, this phase will mark America’s military overreach, likely drawing the nation directly into World War III by late 2026.
Sun Yogini Dasha (28 February 2027 – 27 February 2029)
Sun, the Lagna Lord, is afflicted by Saturn–Mars mutual aspect, conjunct Venus and Jupiter. In Navamsha (D-9), Sun is in the 5th house (8th from the 10th), signaling decline in power and leadership fall.
The Sun Dasha will coincide with the fall of Donald Trump from power and mark the collapse of America’s financial sector. Mars and Saturn’s mutual aggression over the Sun represents internal rebellion and institutional breakdown.
Transits and Karmic Activation
- Saturn Transit in Pisces (8th house) activates the Sade Sati phase, bringing karmic retribution, economic contraction, and exposure of corruption.
- When Saturn enters Aries (June 2027) — the 9th house — it aspects the Lagna Lord Sun in the 11th house, as 6th lord for leo lagna indicating disease, conflict, and the erosion of national pride.
- Rahu–Ketu Transit (Capricorn–Cancer axis) in late 2026 will trigger the final stage of decline, dismantling America’s leadership aura.
- The Rahu–Ketu shift to Sagittarius–Gemini (May 2028) over natal Sun, Mars, Venus, and Jupiter will coincide with the Sun Yogini Dasha, marking total institutional crisis.
Donald Trump: The Catalyst of American Decline
Birth Data: 14 June 1946, 10:55 AM, Jamaica, NY, USA
Lagna: Leo
Donald Trump shares the same Lagna as the U.S., linking his fate directly with that of the nation. His Sun–Rahu conjunction in the 10th house, aspecting the debilitated Moon, gives him erratic leadership traits and a tendency toward impulsive decisions.
Trump’s policies, often driven by ego and short-term gain, have alienated allies like India and Japan and disturbed economic cooperation within the QUAD alliance, indirectly empowering rivals like China and Russia.
Vimshottari Mahadasha: Jupiter–Venus (23 September 2024 – 25 May 2027)
Jupiter, as 5th and 8th lord (retrograde) in the 2nd house, represents flawed financial judgment and destructive policies.
Its aspect from Saturn (12th house) further amplifies loss through mismanagement and foreign entanglement.
In Navamsha, Jupiter is severely afflicted in the 3rd house, showing stubbornness and greed for power, while in D-10 Dashamsha, it is debilitated in the 4th house, creating mass-scale disruption in public administration.
Venus Anterdasha (12th house, conjunct Saturn) deepens the crisis. As 10th lord, Venus in the 12th house indicates wrong leadership decisions, international isolation, and moral decline.
This phase may lead to legal proceedings against Trump and a push toward global war.
Yogini Dasha: Venus (27 February 2025 – 28 February 2032)
This Venus Yogini Dasha is highly volatile. Venus, as 10th lord, is placed in the 12th house with Saturn (6th and 7th lord) — a combination that promises loss, war, and national disgrace.
In Dashamsha (D-10), Venus is exalted in the 6th house, conjunct Saturn and aspected by Mars from the 12th, indicating military aggression, diplomatic blunders, and financial collapse.
This will be the most disputed presidency in U.S. history, remembered for chaos and destruction.
Conclusion
The Rahu–Saturn dasha in America’s chart and the Venus Yogini Dasha in Donald Trump’s chart converge astrologically to mark the start of the U.S. downfall — economically, politically, and globally.
By 2027–2028, America may face its deepest financial crisis, domestic unrest, and global military involvement, leading to the end of its superpower era.
