Astrological reason causes Delhi Earthquake on 17th February 2025 : An Analysis of event

On February 17, 2025, at precisely 05:36:55 IST, an earthquake of magnitude M 4.0 shook New Delhi. The quake's epicenter, located at 28.59°N and 77.16°E at a shallow depth of 5 km, lay 10 km southwest of the iconic Red Fort.

In Bharat's astrological birth chart, the 8th house, governed by Jupiter, is influenced by the sign of Sagittarius. At the moment of the earthquake, the lord of the 8th house was transiting through the earthy sign of Taurus. This alignment is the primary reason behind the seismic activity. When the 8th house transits an earthy sign, such events are likely to occur. The 8th house, falling under the Sagittarius sign in the star of Mool Paad 2, whose lord is Ketu and in the sub of Sun, adds to the complexity. The sub-lord of the 8th cusp is in the star of Ashlesha, ruled by Mercury in Bharat's birth chart of independence. On the fateful day of February 17, 2025, the Sun was transiting through Capricorn, an earthy sign ruled by Saturn, in the star of Dhanishta's fourth paad ruled by Mars, and in the sub of Venus.

During this transit, the Sun, Saturn, and Mercury all had significant aspects on the 4th house. Furthermore, Moon and Ketu were positioned within the 4th house, adding another layer of influence.

Astrological Rule to Note:

Taurus and Scorpio signs are notorious for triggering earthquakes, particularly when Saturn, Rahu, Mars, and Jupiter occupy these signs. Taurus, with its association to the Rohini Nakshatra, has specific implications that have been explored separately.

Jupiter, the lord of the 8th house, was transiting through Taurus on February 17, 2025. The ingress of the Sun into Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn, and the position of planets at the time of the new Moon should be carefully observed. Countries where malefic planets are placed or have aspects in the 4th house may experience seismic disturbances.

At the time of the earthquake, Ketu and Moon were situated in the 4th house of Bharat's independence birth chart. Saturn, a natural malefic planet, also had an aspect on the 4th house, along with Sun and Mercury.

Interestingly, a major planet such as Saturn, Jupiter, or Mars is often retrograde during earthquakes. Mars was indeed retrograde on this date.

Nakshathras related to various regions in India:

- Central Zone: Stars: Krithika, Rohini, and Mrigashira

-Regions: Western Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Haryana

Jupiter, the 8th house lord, was transiting the Rohini constellation at the time of the Delhi earthquake. Ketu, known for causing natural calamities in mundane astrology, and the 4th house, associated with natural disasters, played pivotal roles. In Bharat's birth chart, Ketu was positioned in the 4th house alongside Moon, representing the common people.

Two major planets, Jupiter and Rahu, catalyzed this earthquake. Jupiter was transiting through Taurus, and Rahu in Pisces. Earthquakes often occur when Jupiter transits Taurus or Leo, and similarly for Rahu in Pisces or Virgo.

Preventive Factors:

The question arises: Why didn't this earthquake cause mass casualties? The combination of planets this time avoided such a tragic outcome. Jupiter, despite being a benevolent planet with ether elements, can cause mass deaths when transiting fixed signs like Aquarius (ruled by Saturn) or Leo (ruled by the Sun). Similarly, Saturn, the significator of life, death, and karma, transiting Aries, Leo, or Sagittarius, can lead to mass deaths. Thankfully, during this event, these planets were not transiting those zodiac signs.
