There are five ‘non self luminous’ forces in Jyotish – Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. And when these get closer to each other, within 15 deg, then they get into the Graha Yuddha, Planetary War. And we are going to witness rather severe episodes of Planetary War in these coming months. All these episodes will trigger violence and instability in all our lives.
Mars Venus Mercury are now closely associated with each other. They are going to be interacting/ interfering with each other till about June 2026. And as a ‘grand finale’ they will also link up with the two heavy weights – Saturn and Jupiter. These tara graha engaging in War with each other is going to wreck havoc for everyone. And the first half of 2026 will see unprecedented aggression. Every nation will see armed action in some way or the other.
The concept is that the planet which is ahead of the rest wins Graha yuddha at that point of time. This planet then has the capacity to use/misuse the keywords of the defeated planets. Too many planets losing at the same time creates problems.
In Dec 2025, Mars was the winner of the Graha yuddha and we have seen the effects. Open conflicts are evident. eg one nation which has territorial conflicts with all its neighbours is using its paramilitary disguised as ‘fishermen’ to invade. A severe disruption of the Indian aviation sector by a clearly enemy linked company. An open threat to the nation timed to coincide with the visit of a powerful leader of a powerful nation. A neighbour who has lost its mind. Another neighbour on the brink of shattering internally. Civil issues simmering within our nation and hidden enemies trying to drag us into a potentially disastrous war.
This disruptive trend will continue dangerously into Jan 2026. In mid-Jan Venus will win for a few days and then Mercury will cross him to win the War. Thus Jan 2026 will see conflicting events, as nations first use Mars’ strategies, then Venus’ strategies and then Mercury’s powers. Then Feb 2026 will see Mercury and Venus fighting it out. And the eclipses events in this month will give dangerous results. Later Mar 2026 has two separate war events going on, Mars – Mercury and Saturn -Venus. Both pairs are capable of giving severely disruptive effects.
Then Apr 2026 will have a very dangerous combination of Mercury, Mars and Saturn. And they will be practically on the same degree on 19-20 Apr 2026 and this will be one of the worst days in recent history. Then May 2026 and June 2026 will finally see Venus and Jupiter fighting it out. Both Gurus arguing will create intense confusion in everyone’s minds. The first half of 2026 has continuous planetary conflicts on a grand scale.
In this time, till May 2026, – Mars, Venus, Mercury, Saturn will go combust from time to time. Also Mercury and Venus will be retrograde from time to time. Then Sun and Moon will be eclipsed by Rahu and Ketu. Also Mars will be conjunct Rahu in the cursed combination. And then Mars will conjunct Saturn trigging all the curses for the collective. You will have to open the ‘birth charts’ of the nations or individuals to see the personalised effects of these intense conflicts.
Generally on the national levels, politics will take a very dirty turn. Nations will use subversions, open confrontation and all sorts of underhanded means to gain advantage on the global arena. Civil wars triggered by illegal infiltrators and anti-national groups will tear the fabric of several nations. The ‘villains’ of the current times, will try to force regime change in their opponent nations. Terrorist activities, bombings and religion fuelled terror will increase.
On the personal levels, there will be health issues connected to fever, indigestion, food poisoning, injuries in accidents, cuts caused by sharp objects, boils, accidents connected to heat etc. Tempers will also be high and rage issues can be triggered at the least excuse.
The earth herself will see ‘heat’. Solar activity will trigger electromagnetic storms in the atmosphere. And under the surface, increased activity can cause unexpected volcanic eruptions and earthquakes.
Generally for the birth Moon signs –
Aries – Increase in stress from all aspects of life expected. Start some spiritual practice or coping mechanism so that you are ready to face whatever happens. Try to manage the issues as they appear do not let them go pending.
Taurus – Expenses will increase and there will be loss of money. Avoid unnecessary projects and do budget.
Gemini – Your work will increase much more than usual, but you will get no real benefits. Keep your balance to avoid getting frustrated.
Cancer – Your spouse can cause you losses so keep an eye on his/her activities. Avoid new projects and unnecessary expenses.
Leo – Selfishness will increase. You can still manage to get some gains. But, keep control over your tongue and do not create new enemies in this time.
Virgo – You will not get the expected support at work and home. But you have to maintain your internal balance and fight your battles with courage.
Libra – Close family members can behave as your enemies. Be careful as to whom you trust. Issues with the digestive system are possible.
Scorpio – There will be stress from every aspect of life, be prepared. Organise your affairs and try to sort the problems as they erupt. Don’t let things pile up.
Sagittarius – Personal health can be an issue and stress from loved ones can add to it. Learn to focus on what is really essential. Not everything is equally important.
Capricorn – Work intelligently to handle the issues. You can go ahead with minor projects, but for the major ones, wait till Jun 2026.
Aquarius – You will feel overwhelmed by the events around you. Ego, stubbornness and selfishness will cause you even more trouble.
Pisces – Be very alert regarding money. You can invest in projects, but check everything. Do not trust anyone. And do take up some spiritual practice now, it will be of great help.
I am just outlining the important events in my post. I do not like writing about only negative events, but there is no option, as only these sort of events are going to happen now onwards. Being prepared for unpleasant events is a necessary part of life.
And students of Jyotish should closely analyse these planetary movements and the events that they will trigger. These events are all rapidly pushing the world towards another Mahabharat type of war which will have serious implications for the coming generations. Everyone must be ready to fight for their motherland.
