Pakistan, founded on 14 August 1947 at 23:59 hours in Karachi, Pakistan, faces significant ‘astrological turbulence’ in the period from 20 October 2024 to 6 June 2025, primarily due to the transits of Mars in Cancer and Uranus in Aries. The ascendant of Pakistan’s Foundation Day chart is positioned in Aries at 24°08′ within the Bharani Nakshatra, and Aries is ruled by Mars. This sets the stage for understanding the effects of Mars’ transit.

 

From 20 October 2024 to 6 June 2025, the transits of Mars in Cancer and Uranus in Aries suggest profound shifts and challenges, especially in the areas of national stability, governance, and internal harmony.

 

Mars’ Transit and Its Implications

The ascendant of Pakistan’s Foundation Day chart lies in Aries at 24°08′ in the Bharani Nakshatra, ruled by Mars. This placement intensifies the influence of Mars’ upcoming transit and retrograde motion on Pakistan’s national chart.

 

  • 20 Oct 2024: Mars enters Cancer, its sign of debilitation, and moves into the 4th house of Pakistan’s foundation chart. This house governs national stability, land, resources, and public sentiment. As Mars enters this weak position, it indicates potential challenges in managing internal stability and national well-being.
  • 6 Dec 2024–20 Jan 2025: Mars will retrograde in Cancer, amplifying its debilitated influence. This retrograde period may exacerbate national tensions and bring unresolved issues related to land, resources, or emotional well-being to the forefront.
  • 20 Jan 2025–23 Feb 2025: Mars shifts into Gemini, where it enters its “fallen status,” meaning its influence becomes even weaker and fragmented. This phase could contribute to disarray in key decisions affecting the nation. Potentially, the country/people of the country may break into pieces/fragments
  • 23 Feb 2025: Mars turns direct  in Gemini, continuing its debilitated status, signalling that national struggles related to emotional security, domestic stability, and internal policy will persist if no wise actions are taken
  • 2 Apr 2025–6 Jun 2025: Mars returns to Cancer, once again debilitated, further challenging the country’s internal harmony and stability.

 

Mars represents action, assertiveness, and energy, while Cancer governs emotional sensitivity and domestic matters. This combination is likely to heighten the focus on internal challenges, with an increased emotional reaction to domestic issues. The result may be difficulty in maintaining internal stability, along with potential disruptions related to real estate, agriculture, and public satisfaction.

 

In Mundane astrology, the 4th house is a critical sector that represents the foundation of a country, including its land, natural resources, agriculture, public sentiment, and internal stability. When Mars is retrograde and debilitated in Cancer in the 4th house, it carries significant implications, such as:

  1. Internal Unrest and Instability: A debilitated Mars indicates weakened energy, assertiveness, and control. When retrograde, these effects may intensify, leading to internal conflicts, discontent among the masses, or even civil unrest.

 

  1. Struggles Related to Land and Agriculture: The 4th House governs land and agriculture. A retrograde and debilitated Mars here may point to problems in land management or disputes over territory. It could also indicate agricultural challenges such as droughts, floods, crop failures, or difficulties in implementing policies related to natural resources or real estate.
  1. Public Discontent: The emotional tone of the country could be volatile. Cancer, being a sign associated with emotions and the masses, may indicate public dissatisfaction with the government or internal policies. Protests or public uprisings are possible.
  1. Vulnerabilities in Security: Mars governs defense and security, and its debilitated state may reflect challenges in maintaining domestic peace. This could also highlight issues in the military or law enforcement failing to adequately address crises.
  1. Challenges in Leadership and Governance: As Mars rules Aries, the sign of the country’s ascendant, its debilitation affects the country’s overall strength and ability to act decisively. Leadership may face criticism for indecisiveness or poor management of domestic affairs.
  1. Emotional Instability: Cancer, being a watery and emotional sign, combined with a retrograde and debilitated Mars, may suggest a tendency toward reactionary measures rather than calculated actions. This could lead to impulsive decisions, particularly concerning internal policies or crisis management.

 

Other key factors represented by the 4th house are as follows:

  1. Land and Agriculture:
  • Represents the soil, natural resources, and agricultural output.
  • Indicates land-related issues like farming, mining, real estate, and environmental conditions.
  1. Homes and Housing:
    • Symbolizes residential properties, housing conditions, and living standards.
    • Concerns about urban development, housing policies, and the general quality of life for the population.
  2. Weather and Climate:
    • Associated with weather patterns, particularly environmental conditions affecting the land.
    • Natural phenomena like earthquakes, floods, or droughts may also fall under its domain.
  3. National Heritage and Roots:
    • Represents a nation’s cultural heritage, traditions, and historical foundations.
    • Symbolic of ancestral lineage and the collective past of a society or country.
  4. Opposition Parties and public sentiment:
    • In political contexts, it can denote opposition groups or public discontent with the ruling government (being the 10th house from the 7th house of opposition).
    • Reflects the emotional state of the masses and grassroots movements.
  5. Infrastructure and Real Estate:
    • Governs matters related to buildings, roads, bridges, and other foundational infrastructure.
    • Real estate markets and construction activities fall under its purview.
  6. Natural Resources:
    • Linked to resources found beneath the earth, such as oil, minerals, and other raw materials.
  7. Family and Domestic Peace:
    • On a national scale, it indicates the collective domestic peace and harmony of the population.
  8. End of Matters:
    • It signifies the conclusion or the “end of things” in mundane charts, reflecting the resolution of public issues or national disputes. 

 

 

 

Uranus’ Transit and Its Revolutionary and Extreme Volatile Influence 

  • 14 Dec 2024–31 Jan 2025: Uranus, the planet of sudden change, blows, and innovation, enters Aries from Taurus in retrograde motion, getting into ‘fallen status’ as well. Known for its boldness, Aries will amplify Uranus’ revolutionary energy. This period may trigger unexpected developments and bold initiatives, both in political and social spheres.
  • 31 Jan 2025–19 Mar 2025: Uranus moves directly and ingress into Taurus, completing its moment of intense transformation in Aries.

 

 

Key Themes of Uranus in Aries:

  1. Individual Empowerment: This transit encourages self-reliance and independent action, urging people to take charge of their lives and embrace their unique identities.
  2. Rebellion and breakthroughs: Revolutionary ideas and movements may arise, challenging established norms and pushing for societal change.
  3. Innovation and Technology: A surge in technological advancements, particularly those that empower individuals, can be expected.
  4. Impulsive Energy: The fiery energy of Aries combined with Uranus can lead to abrupt changes, unexpected decisions, and a heightened need for freedom.
  5. Leadership Redefined: Bold and unconventional leaders may rise, reshaping the concept of authority and power.

 

 

Combination of Mars in Cancer and Uranus in Aries

The combination of Mars in Cancer and Uranus in Aries creates a dynamic tension between the need for emotional security and the drive for radical change. This period may force Pakistan to confront the balance between preserving traditional values and embracing innovative reforms. The result could be a period of political unrest, economic instability, and social movements, leading to profound national shifts. This period suggests a need for Pakistan to navigate carefully, integrating emotional sensitivities with the need for progressive reforms. A balance between preserving the nation’s emotional core and advancing into transformative changes will be critical for its resilience.

 

 

Specific Events or Scenarios That Could Arise:

  1. Natural Disasters: The 4th house’s connection to land and resources, combined with Cancer’s association with fluid, could point to risks such as floods, hurricanes, or earthquakes, all of which could destabilize the nation’s core.
  2. Territorial Disputes: The retrogradely debilitated Mars could bring unresolved territorial or border disputes into focus, either internally (within the country) or externally (with neighbouring nations).
  3. Economic Strain: Disruptions in agriculture and natural resources may affect food security, trade, and economic stability, leading to broader financial challenges.
  4. Policy Challenges: Retrograde Mars tends to resurface unresolved issues from the past. Policies related to land, housing, or public welfare may face setbacks or require significant revisions to adapt to changing circumstances.
  5. Public Protests or Strikes: Discontent among the masses could result in public protests or strikes, especially if the population feels their emotional needs or security are not being addressed by the government.

 

 

 

Conclusion

The period between 20 October 2024 and 6 June 2025 is set to bring significant astrological turbulence to Pakistan, with Mars in Cancer and Uranus in Aries presenting both challenges and opportunities for transformation. This period will likely test Pakistan’s resilience, demanding careful navigation of emotional sensitivity, traditional values, and the need for progressive reforms. By aligning with these astrological insights, Pakistan can face this transformative phase with adaptability. If wise and proper actions not taken, then nobody can stop Pakistan breaking into pieces in time to come
