The screenshot outlined that the ongoing phase is influenced by Rahu in Pisces, Saturn in retrograde, and transits of Mars—a combination that astrologically suggests high risk.
'What's Happening: Rahu in Pisces, Saturn Retrograde, Mars transits Outcome: Risky,' the analysis read.

The phase from November 2025 to March 2026 is described as a "Transition" period, during which Rahu shifts to Aquarius and Saturn goes direct—potentially bringing gradual improvement.
Post March 2026, the analysis forecasts a "Safer Phase" as there are "no major malefic influences."
Explaining the underlying factors, the post stated: 'Rahu in Pisces (Meena) – until Nov 2025. Why it's important: Rahu rules illusion, machinery, and technology. In Pisces—the sign of oceans, skies, and dissolution—it creates confusion in water and air travel.'
The potential effects include foggy decisions, technical failures, and hidden threats such as engine issues and miscommunication.
The post sparked mixed reactions online. One X user commented, 'Interesting—let's see if those astrological trends align with real-world aviation shifts.'
Another sarcastically quipped, '100 out of 99 of your tweets aren't relevant to Paytm.'
Ironically, Sharma's post came on the same day as a tragic crash in Bangladesh, where at least 19 people were killed after a Bangladesh Air Force training jet crashed into a school.
In another devastating incident last month, 260 people died in India when an Air India aircraft crashed into a medical college hostel in Ahmedabad.
A string of other engine failures and aviation-related scares in recent weeks has only deepened public anxiety around air travel—making Sharma's astrological warning all the more timely, whether you believe in the stars or not.

Bad news for NASA employees as Trump administration forced 3870 workers to...
New Delhi: Washington: 3,870 employees will lose their jobs from the US space agency National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). These employees are going to resign under the Voluntary Resignation Program. Why did these employees resign? US President Donald Trump's administration has launched a programme to reduce the number of employees to cut the budget. Under this, employees have been asked to resign on their own instead of being fired from NASA. To comply with the Trump administration's goal of reducing the federal workforce, space agency NASA officials are taking the path of resignation to avoid layoffs. NASA is world's most prominent space agency. What did NASA say about resignations? At present, 3,870 employees have resigned from NASA. However, NASA has said in its statement on Friday, July 25, that this number may change after reviewing the applications. NASA has given employees two separate opportunities to leave the job in 2025. After both resignation programmes and about 500 people leaving their jobs in general, NASA will be left with about 14,000 employees. This is the second round of resignations The first round of resignations at NASA came in the early part of the Trump administration. This effort was driven by the government efficiency department DOGE led by Elon Musk. NASA launched its second round of deferred resignations in early June, giving a chance to join it till July 25. The agency said that 3,000 employees accepted it, which is 16.4 percent of the total workforce. NASA issues statement NASA has said in its statement that safety is our top priority. Along with becoming a more efficient organization, we are also ensuring that our capabilities for missions like Moon and Mars remain fully intact. However, experts believe that such a huge reduction in the number of employees may harm NASA's future missions and technical expertise.

China PM warns against a global AI 'monopoly'
China PM warns against a global AI 'monopoly' China will spearhead the creation of an international organisation to jointly develop AI, the country's premier said, seeking to ensure that the world-changing technology doesn't become the province of just a few nations or companies. Artificial intelligence harbours risks from widespread job losses to economic upheaval that require nations to work together to address, Premier Li Qiang told the World Artificial Intelligence Conference in Shanghai on Saturday. That means more international exchanges, Beijing's No 2 official said during China's most important annual technology summit. Li didn't name any countries in his short address to kick off the event. But Chinese executives and officials have taken aim at Washington's efforts to curtail the Asian country's tech sector, including by slapping restrictions on the export of Nvidia chips crucial to AI development. On Saturday, Li acknowledged a shortage of semiconductors was a major bottleneck, but reaffirmed President Xi Jinping's call to establish policies to propel Beijing's ambitions. The govt will now help create a body - loosely translated as the World AI Cooperation Organization - through which countries can share insights and talent. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The Most Beautiful Female Athletes Right Now Undo "Currently, key resources and capabilities are concentrated in a few countries and a few enterprises. If we engage in technological monopoly, controls and restrictions, AI will become an exclusive game for a small number of countries and enterprises," Li told hundreds of delegates huddled at the conference venue on the banks of Shanghai's iconic Huangpu river. China and the US are locked in a race to develop a technology with the potential to turbocharge economies and - over the long run - tip the balance of geopolitical power. This week, US President Donald Trump signed executive orders to loosen regulations and expand energy supplies for data centers - a call to arms to ensure companies like OpenAI and Google help safeguard America's lead in the post-ChatGPT era. At the same time, the breakout success of DeepSeek has inspired Chinese tech leaders and startups to accelerate research and roll out AI products. The weekend conference in Shanghai - gathering star founders, Beijing officials and deep-pocketed financiers by the thousands - is designed to catalyze that movement. The event, which has featured Elon Musk and Jack Ma in years past, was launched in 2018. This year's attendance may hit a record because it's taking place at a critical juncture in the global race to lead GenAI development. It's already drawn some notable figures: Nobel Prize laureate Geoffrey Hinton and former Google chief Eric Schmidt were among heavyweights who met Shanghai party boss Chen Jining Thursday, before they were due to speak at the event.
