Italy's Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has faced a big defeat in an important constitutional referendum. The vote turned into a test of confidence in her government.The results gave about 54% to the "No" side and 46% to the "Yes" side that Meloni supported. This is her first major political loss since becoming Prime Minister. It is also the first clear defeat for her right-wing coalition, which had given Italy a rare time of political stability. Opposition parties say the result shows that voters now want change, with a general election coming next year. Even though the question on the ballot was complex, nearly 60% of people voted — a high turnout that was expected to help the government, but it was not enough.
The reform that voters rejected would have written a clear separation between judges and prosecutors into the constitution
. It also proposed separate bodies to manage them and a new disciplinary court.
The government said these changes were needed to make the judiciary more independent. The opposition argued that the reform would break the careful balance of powers created after the fall of fascism and would give politicians more control over the courts.
Since Giorgia Meloni’s birth details are AA-rated and available on Astrodatabank, it is useful to study this event through Vedic astrology. Saturn, the planet linked to politics, sits in her Lagna (Cancer). This is similar to the chart of India’s famous Prime Minister, Mrs. Indira Gandhi. As the 7th lord (marriage), Saturn in the Lagna is aspected by its strong enemy, the Sun, which is placed in the 7th house. The Sun is in Mrityu Bhag degrees. This showed up as her separation from her partner in October 2023, during the Vimshottari Dasha of Venus–Saturn–Saturn.
In the Navamsa chart, the main dasha lord Venus is aspected by Mars (6th lord) and sits with Saturn (3rd lord) and the Sun. This clearly explains the event. As per Bhavartha Ratnakar Chapter 12 Shloka one, a person does not get good results when Venus Antar Dasha runs inside Saturn Mahadasha, or when Saturn Antar Dasha runs inside Venus Mahadasha. In Meloni’s chart, Venus and Saturn are in a 6-8 position — Saturn in the Lagna and Venus in the 8th house of humiliation — with no support or aspect from Jupiter in the main chart or Navamsa. Both planets are very strong: Saturn is in its own sign, and Venus is exalted and retrograde in Navamsa.
On the day of the result, both Venus and Saturn were moving through Pisces in the 9th house from her Lagna, and Saturn was fully combusted, sitting very close to the Sun.
The referendum defeat has made Meloni look weaker right now. But this difficult Venus-Saturn dasha will end on 14th September 2026. After that, the Venus-Mercury dasha will start. Mercury rules the 3rd house (self-effort) and the 12th house (foreign affairs). It sits in the 6th house of competition, together with Mars the Yogakaraka, and receives the aspect of Jupiter, the 9th lord of fortune and also 6th lord. Mercury is also nicely placed in both Navamsa[D-9] and Dashamsa[D-10] in the 10th house of honour. This suggests that the coming period should be good for her.
While the present setback has shown her vulnerability, better days seem likely once the Venus-Mercury dasha begins. This real-life event strongly supports the classical teaching of Bhavartha Ratnakar. It once again shows that to truly. learn astrology, one must look at today’s events through the eyes of its ancient principles.
In conclusion, the Venus-Saturn or Saturn-Venus dasha has once again proved its enigmatic nature. Meloni’s referendum defeat is a live example of what the classical texts have warned. Yet the stars also promise a brighter phase ahead after September 2026. Astrology, when studied through real events, becomes both clear and powerful.
