India remains the world’s fastest growing major economy, with an uptick of 8.2% in 2023/24. Public investment in infrastructure and rising household investments in real estate plus a buoyant manufacturing sector were all given the credit. Narendra Modi was sworn-in as Prime Minister for the third time on 9th June 2024 after a decisive victory. All would seem to be well and with tr Jupiter moving across the Ascendant and through the 1st house until June 2025 the mood of public confidence will stay high.
The one fly in the ointment is tr Neptune and Saturn in Aries moving to square the India 2nd house Mars from this April onwards into 2026 which could put a few brakes on financially. 2026 will see tr Saturn opposition the 5th house Neptune which could point to setbacks where speculative markets are concerned.
Tr Uranus is also heading to cross the India Ascendant at zero degrees Gemini from July 2025 onwards which suggests a more rebellious or at least freedom-loving approach and image thereafter.
The Reserve Bank of India, 1 April 1935 9am Delhi, has its Aries Sun in line of the recent October Solar Eclipse and next late March’s Aries Eclipse, so a change of direction, perhaps forced, may be on the cards.
Though where the key changes will come is likely to be in 2026 as tr Uranus in Gemini squares the Saturn. On Narendra Modi’s initial premiership chart, 26 May 2014 6.13pm, 2026 also looks to be a crucial turning point with tr Uranus conjunct the Modi Administration Sun. There is no election due but there are certainly winds of change buffeting the government.
Add On: 1 January 2025 the FT:
Has the ‘India trade’ run out of steam?
Slowing growth and high inflation are hitting household incomes and raising questions about economic fundamentals
Thanks for the add on
Hindu Fundementalism? Attacks and assassinations of Sikhs and Muslims. Selling off Indian agriculture to Big Agro. Privatising seeds. 200K farmer suicides from Monsanto. Middle class obesity from McDonalds. What success and democracy of Modi and the Sunaks.
It took too long for us to understand what the government is doing and now it’s too late, nothing short of a miracle will put India on reach if she ever was. India is a great country but the people not so much, the system is so flawed.
On track*
Saturn and Neptune will square Mars by transit so that will additionally make things difficult for the next couple of years
Hell of year…not exaggerating…Modi is squeezed from everywhere so badly that to stay out of jail he had to give free rice to Bangladesh to end demanding their ex President who would spill beans on modi and they agreed but for how long?
His extreme construction has erased all fertile land so either indians will starve to death which in tech era impossible to hide or he goes to icj jail which he won’t so he’s everywhere in catch 22 situation..with USA now demanding adani and Canada demanding his crime in partner shah..he has to pay there too despite falling rupee and Putin now ends Balck marketing of oil as Syria lost and BRICS currency shut down before started…indians have no jobs so govt revenue from fuel to taxes isn’t coming and with Ukraine war now with Putin coming to uncondiitonal talks level..sale of slaves there is over and so is any money from illegal immigrants agents.
Apart from lavish lifestyle and greedy bureaucrats which indians are no longer finding tolerable…India is in worse era as all 10yrs of mms money is over and due to America demanding adani now no country is ready to invest in adani ..Modi’s shadow
Totally agree, sad part is that the media fails to highlight problems, refuse to hold the government responsible and is now a mere spokesperson for the government, a tool. The false narrative has become so deeply rooted that to come out of the stupor is going to take a while and that is not a good thing. Modi took the country for a ride and we all are paying the price.
Let’s be honest…country is made by its people…if people aren’t honest no country is worth living …India today is land of rogues and cheats…honesty to hard work are suicidal and crime…a country cannot survive dacoits for long
What’s going to happen to the UK . I’m off to India or USA to live if it’s too much of a catastrophe here
The infrastructure projects are not planned and are adding to the chaos. Saturn conjunct Pluto near IC shows struggles with communication neighbours and at home. When Mars transits over moon Saturn and Pluto it will bring turmoil in some form.
Agree.
I also felt relieved when Marjorie predicted Jup but then as feared, it all went to Modi’s crony capitalists treasures
India today is having huge number of suicides due to bankruptcies and joblosses amidst exponentially rising food costs and modi has media hijacked with poisoning of journalists so badly that German ministers had to visit India to get one released and did press conference else even that guy wouldn have ever come out alive being minority.
Humbug is word best describing India and no invite from Trump signals India has lost its grain of salt even worth in world
Prison for journalists who don’t sing his paens
