Danger ahead? Paytm boss Vijay Shekhar Sharma shares AI-powered vedic astrology warning on air travel

Amid a spate of aviation mishaps, Paytm CEO Vijay Shekhar Sharma has turned to Vedic astrology—powered by AI—for insight into the risks associated with air travel.

Taking to social media platform X, Sharma shared a screenshot of an astrological analysis generated by AI. According to the post, the period from now until November 2025 is marked as a "Danger Zone" due to certain planetary alignments.

“According to Vedic astrology analysis by AI, air travel has [a risky] situation till November 2025,” Sharma wrote.


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.
