The US indictment of Indian billionaire Gautam Adani on bribery charges raises questions about the probity of Indian authorities, which draws in PM Narendra Modi, his close friend, and may strain US/India relations when there are already problems over claims that Indian officials were involved in attempts to kill Sikh separatists in the US and Canada. Trump is likely to want it swept under the carpet but Modi’s opponents are already making capital out of it. “It’s now pretty clear and established in America that Mr Adani has broken both American law and Indian law,” opposition leader Rahul Gandhi told a press conference.
A possible extradition request, legal appeals and long-running court proceedings could lie ahead. An extradition treaty between India and the US has been in force since 1999, but only occasionally used.
The Adani Group founded on 20 July 1988 is one of India’s biggest conglomerates, a sprawling industrial powerhouse whose rise has marched in parallel to the political ascent of Narendra Modi for two and a half decades. It will have lucky breaks through 2025 but is likely to meet its downfall or at least a sharp and significant series of setbacks by 2026/27 as its Solar Arc Mars opposes its Pluto. It has a lucky yod of Jupiter sextile Sun inconjunct an innovative but also can-be-autocratic Uranus Saturn in Sagittarius. 2026/27 also see tr Neptune Saturn square the Mars which will have the scent of failure and panic about it.
Gautam Adani, the chairman, 24 June 1962 5.15 am Ahmedabad, India, has a creative Water Grand Trine of Jupiter in Pisces trine a Cancer Sun trine Neptune, formed into a Kite by a pushily-confident Jupiter opposition Pluto, making Pluto his driving planet. Plus a Fixed T Square of Saturn opposition Venus North Node in Leo square Neptune.
His relationship with Narendra Modi, 17 September 1950 11 am Mehsana, India, is showing signs of turbulence across this December to next March and more so from mid 2025 onwards with tr Uranus square the composite Venus, then Pluto and tr Uranus opposing the Saturn – so there will be tensions flaring up right through 2026 as well.
Whether it affects Modi’s political position immediately is questionable. His recent term chart from 9 June 2024 7.30pm is certainly inherently fraught with a Mars square Pluto so will be under constantly pressure but it could be 2027/28 which sees his Term facing a real threat. Which timeline is echoed in his original PM chart from 2014 with tr Uranus conjunct the Gemini Sun in 2027/28 which will have the potential to derail him.
Modi’s relationship with India will be jangled as tr Uranus moves into Gemini from mid 2025 to square the Mercury, Saturn and finally Sun, becoming more disruptive in 2026/27; with tr Neptune Saturn square the composite Uranus then as well. Stormy times ahead.
The Reserve Bank of India is facing a year of crises ahead with the Solar Eclipses, recently in Libra and next year in Aries tugging on its Aries Sun. With again 2026/27 looking highly unsettled. The India country chart, 15 August 1947 12 am Delhi, has Mars in its financial 2nd house catching the tr Neptune Saturn square from this coming April onwards which will throw up financial problems into 2026 which won’t help the prime minister.
Relations between the USA and India will be strained with tr Pluto opposition the Sun and square Pluto through 2025 till 2027; with confusion and uncertainty as tr Saturn Saturn oppose the composite Neptune in 2025/26.
Relations between India and Canada look even more aggravated with tr Pluto opposing the Mars and then Mercury this year till late 2027; with jolts, jangles and disruptions 2025/2026 with tr Saturn Neptune opposing the composite Saturn and square Uranus. Nothing calming down soon.
