Dogs, Supreme Court , Ketu, and India – An Astrological perspective

Dogs, Supreme Court , Ketu, and India – An Astrological perspective

The recent Supreme Court order of August 2025 has directed authorities in Delhi and the NCR to remove all stray dogs from public spaces within eight weeks and relocate them permanently to shelters. At present, this is a regional directive—not a nationwide policy—but its wording and tone set a precedent that could be adopted across India. For those who understand both the visible and invisible layers of protection that guard a nation, this is not a small local issue. If replicated countrywide, it risks shifting the subtle balance of forces that have, until now, protected Bharat both materially and spiritually.

Delhi itself, in mundane astrology, is associated with Libra Rashi. In the national chart of India, Libra falls in the 6th house—the house connected to enemies, conflicts, defense systems, and the ability to counter threats. The 6th is also the domain where Ketu acts exceptionally well, sharpening foresight, allowing a nation to understand an enemy’s moves in advance and keep them in control. This is why Delhi, as the political and administrative heart, has been a seat of both diplomatic strategy and covert vigilance. Disrupting Ketu’s natural functioning here—by removing the very earthly symbols and carriers of its energy—can weaken our ability to preempt and neutralize threats. If this policy extends beyond Delhi–NCR to the entire country, the protective 6th-house effect will be diminished on a national scale, amplifying vulnerabilities.

In the mundane chart of India, Ketu rules the 7th house—open enemies—and sits in its own domain. This rare placement grants India a natural edge in covert intelligence and managing adversaries. Saturn governs the 9th (dharma, fortune) and 10th (authority, global image) houses. Dogs, as Bhairava’s vāhana, embody these planetary protections in both a symbolic and energetic sense. Removing them—especially in a region so critical to national defense from an astrological standpoint—is not merely a civic act; it is the equivalent of dismantling a layer of the nation’s unseen security network.

This decision comes at a time when India has just about to enter Mars Mahadasha on 8 th sep 2025 .The cooling diplomacy and global perception gains of the last decade under the Moon made india reach at level it is at today. In India’s chart, Mars is ill-placed in Rahu’s nakshatra, a combination prone to provocation, destabilization, and enemy activation.  Saturn which itself is connected to dogs especially black dogs , in the ongoing transit tests governance, law, and public trust . Introducing such a disruptive policy in Delhi’s 6th house zone during this Moon Mars Mahadasha sandhi is a recipe for heightened risk and security issues.

Delhi–NCR may be the starting point, but if this approach spreads nationwide, the planetary warnings are clear: weakening of intelligence networks, increased interference from adversaries, economic instability, and confused, reactionary public movements. These outcomes align exactly with the vulnerabilities Mars–Rahu and a disturbed Ketu can bring.

This is not sentiment for animals alone—it is a matter of dharma and national safety. In Sanatan Dharma, astrology is a legitimate tool of governance, not superstition. Ignoring its guidance at such a critical planetary juncture is to sail into dangerous waters without the compass our rishis left us. Bhairava’s guardians, if removed from the streets without humane care and without preserving their protective role, will leave gaps that neither patrols nor laws can fill. The loss will echo both in the visible world and in the unseen realms where much of our true security is forged.

In this Mars Mahadasha, under Rahu’s shadow, haste will be our enemy. Careful consideration, respect for dharma, and preservation of cosmic allies—however humble their form—must be at the heart of our decisions, especially in the nation’s Libra-linked capital, where Ketu’s role is vital to keeping enemies in check.
