Why Are So Many Helicopters and Planes Crashing in June 2025? Astrology May Have an Answer

From military helicopter mishaps to sudden mid-air technical failures, June 2025 has opened with a disturbing series of aviation-related incidents across India and beyond. While aviation experts cite mechanical reasons, some are looking skyward — not at weather patterns, but at planetary ones.

According to leading astrologers, the skies aren’t just crowded with aircraft — they’re currently loaded with intense planetary alignments, particularly those known to affect travel, technology, and machinery.

What’s Happening in the Stars?

• Mercury Retrograde (May 28 – June 18, 2025)
  Known for disrupting communication and transport systems, Mercury’s backward spin is often blamed for technical glitches, miscommunication, and failed machinery — including in aviation.
• Mars–Rahu Conjunction (Exact June 9)
  Mars governs energy, engines, and conflict; Rahu is the shadowy planet of chaos. Together, they create a volatile mix — astrologers call it the ‘crash window’ for machinery and sharp objects, including aircraft.
• Saturn in Aquarius
  Saturn’s influence over structure and governance may bring systemic stress to aging fleets and infrastructure, especially if overdue for upgrades.

“The Mars-Rahu conjunction in fiery Aries is a red flag — it creates sudden, unexpected events, especially involving machines, air, or aggression,” says astrologer Priti Johari. “Coupled with Mercury retrograde, the risk multiplies.”

Recent Aviation Events Raising Eyebrows:

• Military chopper crashes in northeastern states
• Emergency landings due to technical failure reported in southern India
• Unusual airspace disruptions during planetary peaks between June 6–10

While aviation authorities stress that these are isolated incidents with rational causes, astrologers argue that the skies themselves are unstable right now — energetically speaking. Even if you’re not a believer in astrology, the cultural lens it offers is deeply rooted in Indian tradition. Many families still avoid travel during Mercury retrograde or Mars–Rahu conjunctions — and this month, those beliefs feel eerily relevant.

Is it coincidence, cosmic energy, or confirmation bias? That depends on whom you ask. But one thing’s for sure: when the stars are tense, we tend to look up — both in prayer and in fear.

“When machines rise into the sky, they become part of the cosmos,” says Jyotish expert Ravi Malhotra. “And sometimes, the cosmos pushes back.”
