Follow-Up Blog: Fiery Alignments Ahead: Mars-Ketu Conjunction in July 2025

Back in April, we explored the volatile and transformative potential of the upcoming Mars–Ketu conjunction in Purva Phalguni Nakshatra on July 23, 2025. That post, titled "Fiery Alignments Ahead", analyzed a rare astrological event symbolizing combustible energy, hidden karmic retribution, and geopolitical and environmental unrest.

🔥 Recap of April Predictions

We noted the following possibilities:

  • Increased fires, explosions, and electrical mishaps

  • Military or covert operations in global hotspots

  • Psychological or emotional turbulence among the masses

  • Volcanic or seismic activity, especially from passive or underwater volcanoes

  • Long-lasting effects stemming from Saturn–Mars–Ketu karmic activation

🔥 What Has Unfolded Since

Since that post, the world has witnessed a string of intense events eerily aligned with the planetary energies described:

1. Fires & Explosions

  • Dubai: Massive high-rise fire on June 5th scorched multiple floors overnight.

  • Los Angeles: A warehouse fire on June 9th led to chemical explosions and mass evacuations.

  • India: A train compartment caught fire near Madhya Pradesh mid-June; arson and short-circuit are suspected.

2. Air Mishaps

  • A commercial flight over Southeast Asia suffered electrical failure on June 14, leading to an emergency landing.

  • Drone-related attacks in war zones (e.g., Eastern Europe and West Asia) intensified — matching Mars-Ketu’s signature of covert, aerial, and surgical strikes.

3. Volcanic Unrest

  • Mount Lewotobi (Indonesia) erupted explosively on June 17–18, sending ash clouds 10+ km into the air and disrupting flights.

  • Kīlauea (Hawaii): Episodic lava fountains reactivated in mid-June.

  • Fuego (Guatemala): Frequent ash bursts and lava flows since early June.

  • Mount Etna (Italy): A dramatic eruption in early June led to tourist evacuations.

These events illustrate the Mars–Ketu theme of hidden combustion — fire that erupts from deep within, whether through earth’s crust, human rage, or systemic breakdowns.

🪔 The Build-Up Continues

With the actual conjunction still a month away, the cosmic heat is only intensifying. As Mars approaches exact contact with Ketu in Leo, we may see:

  • Escalation in geopolitical standoffs or covert warfare

  • Infrastructure collapse, especially electrical or mechanical

  • More earth-based upheavals (eruptions, earthquakes)

  • Leadership crisis or dramatic fallouts involving heads of state or influencers

  • Cattle suffering from fires.

  • Issues in personal lives of masses

⚠️ What We Need to Remember

The conjunction is still approaching, and the most intense phase is yet to come. We can expect the ongoing wars to continue, and collective suffering to deepen, especially because Mars is devoid of any pacifying aspects from Jupiter or Saturn.

However, Mars does aspect Saturn — a harsh combination indicating that people are suffering to their limits. Relief will only begin once Mars enters Virgo, where it will receive Saturn's aspect in a more constructive way. Until then, this fiery energy needs containment.

Meanwhile, Venus is transiting a Martian sign, amplifying tensions in relationships and marriages. Many of my recent consultations involve individuals considering separation or divorce. My sincere advice: hold off on major emotional decisions until August, when planetary energies will begin to soften slightly.

Also, please be extra cautious around stairs, electric items, sharp tools, or vehicles. Mars and Ketu are notorious for sudden accidents with long-lasting consequences. Being patient and mindful is the greatest remedy during this period.

🔮 Practical Remedies

  • Meditation: Regular meditation can help temper internal aggression and impulsivity.

  • Avoid Confrontations: Until August, try to remain calm and detached in heated situations.

  • Spiritual Aid: If you're open to mantras, I recommend the Subramanya Bhujangam Stotram — a potent hymn suitable for all ascendants and Moon signs during this Mars-Ketu window.

  • Need Help? If you're going through turbulence, feel free to reach out for remedies tailored to your chart. I'm always happy to help.

Celestial Events of March 2025: Lunar and Solar Eclipses

 In March 2025, the celestial stage is set for two significant events: a total lunar eclipse and a partial solar eclipse. These phenomena not only captivate astronomers but also hold profound significance in astrology, especially considering the unique planetary alignments during this period. Total Lunar Eclipse: March 13–14, 2025 On the night of March 13 into the early hours of March 14, a total lunar eclipse will occur. This event transpires when the Earth positions itself directly between the Sun and the Moon, casting a shadow that envelops the Moon entirely. The key phases of this eclipse, in Indian Standard Time (IST), are as follows: Penumbral Eclipse Begins: 09:27 IST Partial Eclipse Begins: 10:39 IST Total Eclipse Begins: 11:56 IST Maximum Eclipse: 12:29 IST Total Eclipse Ends: 13:01 IST Partial Eclipse Ends: 14:18 IST Penumbral Eclipse Ends: 15:30 IST This eclipse will be fully visible across North and South America, with partial visibility in Europe and Africa.

Mars Enters Libra: A Time for Resolution

  Mars Enters Libra: A Time for Resolution On September 13, 2025, at 8:28 PM IST, Mars will move into Libra. This marks a notable shift in cosmic dynamics. The last significant influence Mars had from Jupiter was more than a year ago, during a conjunction but that coincided with other celestial events like eclipses and multi-planet alignments. Those alignments reflected periods of global unrest—felt both in the lives of ordinary people and on the world stage through wars and conflicts. This time, the picture is very different. Mars enters Libra under the benefic gaze of Jupiter’s 5th aspect. Unlike the volatility of past retrogrades and conjunctions, this placement is moderated, balanced, and purposeful. Jupiter, the planet of wisdom and expansion, acts as a restraining influence on Mars’s inherent impulsiveness. Adding to this harmony is Jupiter’s upcoming transit into Cancer, where it will again aspect Mars in Virgo. This double layer of Jupiter’s guidance creates a period of...
