During Saturn’s sub-period, we saw the visible world in the Eurozone come to a standstill – empty streets, no crowds in cafes or restaurants, no traffic during rush hour. The lockdown froze life in Europe for many long months.
The seventh house in a country’s astrological charts reflects both peace and disturbances of peace within the nation. In this case, Saturn revealed itself through military involvement in managing the epidemic – military field hospitals, curfews, city control, and the enforcement of citizen isolation.
I have noticed that in the natal charts of developed countries, damage to the seventh house tends to manifest in a milder form, as it did here. But in the third world countries any affliction to the seventh house often leads to military escalation, revolutions, or other severe crises.
The more developed a country is, the less vulnerable it is to military catastrophes. This is something astrologer-forecasters must consider – and they should look for alternative causes of unrest when interpreting the seventh house in such charts.
For example, we now know for sure that when Ketu influences a country through the Vimshottari Dasha, and there is disturbing the peace in their astro charts through the damage of the seventh house, this can point to epidemics, national isolation, and attempts to maintain control through military measures.
Likewise, malefic influences on the third house do not always indicate conflict with neighboring countries. They may also reflect situations such as border closures or the suspension of civilian movement, especially in the context of epidemics or sanctions.
Predictions for the European Union
The European Union is currently in a Rahu – Mercury period, which lasts from January 11, 2023, to July 31, 2025. Mercury is retrograde, and in this context, it reflects the state of the EU’s energy resources, which are limited at this time. Why? The answer lies in Mercury’s placement in the nakshatra Vishakha.
The deity presiding over Vishakha Nakshatra is Indra, king of the gods, who also rules Jyeshtha. Vishakha, under Indra’s influence, carries a subtle sense of pride and seniority, which can make individuals or nations influenced by it feel superior and act accordingly. Yet at its core, Vishakha remains peaceful and inclined toward reconciliation between opposing sides.
Vishakha is also associated with sanctions. Its ruling planet, Jupiter, governs the sixth house (sanctions and legal disputes) as well as the ninth house (diplomacy and jurisprudence) in this chart. As a result, Mercury is weakening because of the indicators of both of these houses.
From July 31, 2025, to August 19, 2026, the EU enters a Rahu – Ketu period. Ketu is located in the eleventh house of Parliament, which will bring meaningful changes to the European Parliament, despite the fact that elections have already been held in 2024 and this convocation has been approved until 2029.
Ketu represents separation, disconnection, and reduction. In the eleventh house of alliances and unions, its influence can signal tension or a breakdown in cooperation with one or more allies.
Ketu is placed in the nakshatra Krittika – a solar nakshatra associated with separation and cutting away. Its symbol is a blade, a knife. The core idea behind Krittika is to cut off what no longer serves a purpose, to strip away the unnecessary, and to complete unfinished work by clearing out what is in the way. Krittika burns through anything that will not be used.
That is why I would not be surprised if, during the Ketu period from July 2025 to August 2026, the EU begins shedding excess – cutting budgets, reducing salaries and bonuses, and trimming back wherever it can.
And most important – from the summer of 2025 the EU will be threatened by the prospect of economic crisis and lack of resources, because Ketu stands in the house of savings and wealth. The same downward trends will apply to relationships with partners, spending on alliances, partnerships, and the like.
If we turn to the EU’s annual chart for the period from October 31, 2024, to October 31, 2025, here is what we find.
Case Study 8. Annual EU Chart: 2024—2025
In the EU’s annual chart, Saturn is conjunct with the star Hydor, which lies in the stream of Aquarius. This alignment may signal the possibility of water-related disasters affecting EU territory.
The Muntha is positioned in the eighth house of crisis, indicating a stressful and turbulent year. That house is heavily afflicted by both Saturn and Mars. That means, in 2025, the changes in the EU are going to be very significant and dramatic indeed.
One of the year’s most striking features is Mars in fall, placed in the first house, while also being the ruler of the tenth house of power and governance.
Based on this position, I believe that EU leadership may be compromised in 2025, triggering talks of re-election or leadership reshuffling.

On February 23, 2025, Germany, the EU’s leading country, will hold a snap election for chancellor… In this case this chart omen concerns the change of political course of Germany within the European Union.
Mars in this placement also emphasizes issues related to military affairs and armaments, likely bringing disputes, disagreements, and tensions across the Union. The maximum scenario of how Mars can harm the EU in 2025 is a dramatic change of leading personas in the union.
Additionally, Mars rules the fifth house, which relates to culture, sports, the arts, and intellectuals. This suggests that the events of 2025 may negatively impact these sectors as well.
The ruler of the second house of finance is also in fall, which indicates that 2025 will be a financially weak year for the EU.
Unfortunately, the outlook in the annual charts for the following years does not appear much more optimistic.
Next, let us look at the annual chart covering the period from November 1, 2025, to November 1, 2026.
Case Study 9. Annual EU Chart: 2025—2026
We can see two debilitated planets that are related to the second house, the house of finance, which indicates that the financial condition of European countries will be weaker than usual during this year.
At the same time, Jupiter is exalted in the eleventh house of alliances, suggesting a warming of relations with partners and pointing to the possibility of a new alliance or a new candidate for EU membership.
Mars and Mercury are both strongly placed in the third house, but they occupy a specific zone known as Sarpa Drekkana – a degree linked to restriction and control. This has a direct connection to sanctions, meaning that in 2026, EU trade and economic activity will still be heavily constrained and affected by sanction regimes.

Case Study 10. Annual EU Chart: 2026—2027
In 2027 (according to the EU’s annual chart from November 1, 2026, to November 1, 2027), the ruler of the first house, Mars, is in fall and placed in the ninth house of diplomacy. This again points to international tension, sanctions, and potential conflicts, along with signs of aggression.
One particularly interesting factor in this chart is the opposition between Pluto and the Moon along the 3—9 house axis. Pluto is a symbol of conflict and upheaval, while the Moon represents the well-being
