One of the most widely discussed questions among Indians today is: When will Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (PoK) be integrated into India? While geopolitical experts analyze strategic moves and diplomatic signals, others are turning to astrology for insight into this complex issue.
India has consistently reiterated its stance, urging Pakistan to vacate PoK. Military operations like the Uri surgical strike and the Balakot air strike have further underlined India’s firm intentions. These actions have sent a strong message to both Pakistan and the global community about India’s resolve regarding PoK.
PoK spans approximately 13,000 square kilometers and shares borders with multiple regions—Pakistan’s Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to the west, Afghanistan’s Wakhan Corridor to the northwest, China’s Xinjiang region to the north, and Jammu and Kashmir as well as parts of China to the east. The region is administratively divided into Azad Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan.
Historically, Pakistan managed Gilgit-Baltistan (once called the Northern Areas) directly through a federal ministry. However, in 2009, Pakistan introduced a self-governing provincial framework that allows the region to be administered by its own Chief Minister—though many view this as a cosmetic change aimed at strengthening control.
What Do the Stars Say?
Astrologers analyzing Pakistan’s birth chart point to troubling celestial configurations. Pakistan is under the influence of Venus in a Markesh position within an Aries ascendant, currently experiencing its Mahadasha. Alongside this, Mercury’s Antardasha is ongoing, and it sits trapped with Venus and Saturn in a Moon-ruled sign—an astrological cocktail that’s believed to bring instability, especially economic hardship, to the country.
On the other hand, India’s independence chart shows a Taurus ascendant with Rahu positioned in the first house. Presently, both Rahu and Jupiter are transiting through India’s 12th house, and Jupiter’s gaze is directed toward the 4th house—a house related to territorial matters. Saturn, positioned in Aquarius, is also energizing the 4th house.
Astrologers believe that a significant window is opening between October 17 and October 30, when Rahu transitions from Aries to Pisces. This period is seen as astrologically potent for major national decisions or actions—raising the possibility of decisive movement on PoK.
While these predictions are subject to interpretation, the alignment of both strategy and astrology has certainly heightened public anticipation.
