Celestial Clues: Has Masood Azhar Met His End in Bharat’s Attack?

Astrological Analysis of Masood Azhar’s Fate: A Horary Perspective

Whether terrorist Masood Azhar has been assassinated in India's attack on May 7, 2025, remains a matter of intense curiosity for many Indians and Pakistanis alike. As news channels scramble for confirmation, horary astrology offers a unique approach to unraveling this mystery.

The Role of the 8th and 12th Houses

In horary astrology, the 8th and 12th houses govern assassination and hidden influences. In the erected horary chart, both houses come under the influence of Mars and Venus. Mars, the ruler of the 12th house, signifies aggression and warfare, while Venus, governing the 6th and 10th houses, plays a pivotal role in shaping the outcome.

To determine his fate, we identify the badhak (obstructing) and marak (fatal) planets.

The Badhak and Marak Planets

Mercury emerges as the badhak planet, closely linked with Mars and Jupiter. Notably, Mercury rules the 7th house—one of the marak houses—while Saturn, ruler of the 2nd house, also assumes the role of a marak planet, with its association with Rahu further intensifying destructive forces.

The Main Periods: Sun 

Sun : Ruler, Government, Fire (Here Missile attack) The ongoing planetary period of the Sun, conjunct Venus (the ruler of the 10th house, signifying permanent separation from life), suggests significant turmoil. Venus represents women, while the Sun symbolizes governance and authority. This alignment indicates that Azhar's fate may stem from a combination of governmental action and female influence.

Additionally, the Sun in Aries—ruled by Mars, the planet of war—implies that the attack could have affected his face, as Aries governs the head, and the Sun governs eyesight.

The Sub-Periods: Mars, Jupiter, and Mercury

• Mars (War and Violence): Mars, a symbol of aggression, transits Cancer, ruled by the Moon, placed in the 8th house (mrityu sthana or house of death). Occupying the 7th (marak) house, this is an ominous position for Azhar. Moreover, Mars transits the Pushya constellation, linked to residences, hostels, women's houses, or charitable organizations, reinforcing the idea of a violent incident occurring in such a setting. Pushya, ruled by Saturn (another marak planet), hints at brutality, particularly affecting the mouth and face.

• Jupiter (Benevolence Turned Hostile): While Jupiter is naturally benefic, in this horary chart, it resides in Taurus, ruled by Venus—a natural enemy. Jupiter, under Mars and Saturn's influence, occupies the 6th house (ripu bhava, house of enemies) while aspecting the 2nd (marak) and 10th (associated with permanent separation) houses. It also has a normal aspect on the 12th (mukti sthana, signifying final departure), emphasizing impending danger.

• Mercury (The Final Trigger): The sub-sub-sub period of Mercury, running from May 9 to May 11, 2025, is particularly crucial. As the lord of the marak house and the badhak house, Mercury plays a decisive role in the final act. Its transit through the Ashwini constellation—linked to hospitals, medical institutions, and military bases—suggests that his demise may occur in one of these locations.
