Shehbaz Sharif, born on September 23, 1951, in Lahore, Pakistan. He is a prominent political figure and the current Prime Minister of Pakistan. He hails from the influential Sharif family, known for its significant contributions to Pakistan’s political and industrial sectors. In this post, we will explore his astrological profile along with a peek into his political future. This has become even more critical considering his dynamics with Pakistan Military Supremo General Asim Munir. His older brother Nawaz Sharif had to deal with then Pakistan Military Supremo General Pervez Musharraf is still fresh in memory of most people.
In addition, we will also attempt to dissect his and his family’s obsession with India, especially the region of Jammu and Kashmir, through the lens of astrology.
Shehbaz Sharif – Early life and education
Shehbaz Sharif was born into a Punjabi-speaking Kashmiri family. His father, Muhammad Sharif, was an upper-middle-class businessman and industrialist. Their family had emigrated from Anantnag in Kashmir and eventually settled in the village of Jati Umra in Amritsar district, Punjab, at the turn of the 20th century. His mother’s family came from Pulwama. Following the partition of India and Pakistan’s independence in 1947, his parents migrated from Amritsar to Lahore.
Shehbaz received his early education at St. Anthony’s High School in Lahore and later earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Government College University, Lahore.
Family Background of Shehbaz Sharif
Shehbaz is the second of three brothers. His elder brother, Nawaz Sharif, served as Pakistan’s Prime Minister three times. The Sharif family’s political involvement has been significant in shaping Pakistan’s political landscape. Shehbaz’s son, Hamza Shehbaz, has also been active in politics, serving in various governmental roles. His niece Miriam Nawaz, daughter of his older brother Nawaz Sharif has also been prominent in Pakistani politics.
Shehbaz Sharif’s political beginnings
Shehbaz Sharif’s was elected the President of Lahore Chamber of Commerce and Industry. in 1985. He followed in the footsteps of his elder brother and got elected to the Punjab Provincial Assembly in 1988.
Chief Minister of Punjab (Pakistan)
Shehbaz Sharif served as Chief Minister of Pakistan’s Punjab province from 1997-99, 2008-13, 2013-18. During his tenure as Chief Minister, he became popular for his speed of implementing infrastructure projects. He even earned the moniker “Shehbaz Speed”.
Prime Minister of Pakistan
Shehbaz Sharif became Prime Minister of Pakistan in April 2022 after the ouster of Imran Khan. He served until August 2023, navigating the country through economic challenges and natural disasters, including the devastating floods of 2022. After the general elections in February 2024, Shehbaz Sharif was re-elected as Prime Minister on March 3, 2024, leading a coalition government formed by the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and allied parties.
Pahalgam attack and Operation Sindoor
There was a brutal terror attack on tourists in Pahalgam, India on April 22, 2025. India launched a series of military strikes against Pakistani targets on May 7 with codename Operation Sindoor. This escalated into a military conflict that cooled down after a cessation of military action by both sides on May 11, 2025. This has proved to be a turning point in Shehbaz’s career. He stands at risk of being assassinated or overthrown by the Pakistani Military Supremo General Asim Munir. His brother Nawaz Sharif was ousted in 1999 after the then defeat against India in the Kargil War.

General Astrological Profile of Shehbaz Sharif
If we consider the above birth chart, we can arrive at some general conclusions about Shehbaz Sharif and his life and career, including his politics, family background and career prospects.
From the family business to Politics
Both Shehbaz and his older brother Nawaz Sharif chose politics as a career, rather than continuing the well established business of their father. This can be seen from the conjunction of Saturn, Sun and Neptune in the Ascendant sign of Virgo.
Virgo is a sign that represents service and the presence of Saturn here, brother Shehbaz into politics. However, since Mercury the sign lord represents Trade and Commerce, Shehbaz started off in a Chamber of Commerce before moving into full time politics.
Obsession with Neighbors (India)
In Shehbaz’s birth chart, we can see that Moon is placed in the 10th house in the sign of Gemini. Moon is in the Nakshatra (constellation) of Mrigashira which is ruled by Mars. Mars represents war and violence. In addition, Mars being in it’s debilitation sign of Cancer makes matters worse. Gemini is the natural 3rd house and also represents neighbors and cheating.
True to his job description, Shehbaz Sharif has shown an almost indomitable obsession with working against India through whatever means necessary, including terrorism. Interestingly, Moon also represents foreign influences and it’s no secret that Shehbaz was put on the Prime Minister seat after his predecessor Imran Khan spoke against the US and was suddenly overthrown in a matter of days after that. Even during the recent conflict with India, America was quick to defend him and his regime, albeit behind closed doors.
Unhappy Home?
In his chart, Mars is placed with Pluto in the 11th house, in the sign of Cancer. This is the debilitation sign of Mars and therefore, shows troubles for brothers, especially older brother. His older brother faced threats to his life many times and even had to live in exile for a long time.
The presence of Pluto also highlights the Nuclear angle and we know that Pakistan’s Nuclear assets are always in the lens of scrutiny due to extensive spread of terrorists and their supporters in the country. Most neighbors of Pakistan are concerned about terrorists taking over the Nuclear weapons for use against humanity.
Able Administrator but unlucky?
When Shehbaz Sharif inherited Pakistan after the ouster of his predecessor Imran Khan, the country was in shambles, without no foreign reserves left even to survive. Sharif showed resilience, even to the extent of appearing like a beggar when he went all out to visit powers in the Middle East and entities such as the World Bank to secure further financing for his country. During the last 1 year of his regime, Pakistan has shown some improvement economically, before returning to their old ways.
Astrological reasons
This can be seen from the placement of Jupiter opposing Saturn, Sun and Neptune, giving a steady mind and ability to cope with difficult situations. However, his lack of success is due to Jupiter being retrograde. Further, if we observe the Navamsha chart below, we can also observe that Sun and Saturn become weak while Jupiter gains some strength.
Shehbaz Sharif Navamsha analysis
Since the Navamsha indicates the final fruits of the planets in your life, it cannot be ignored. Interestingly, if we observe the 8th house of the Navamsha in the sign of Pisces, we have Mars and Pluto. Pluto represents Nuclear power and Mars means War. The 8th house typically represents sudden and unexpected events. In the recent conflict, Indian attacks damaged Pakistani Nuclear assets and currently, we have teams from America, Egypt and China trying to contain the situation in Pakistan and prevent wider spread of radiation.
Typically, Saturn in the 9th house of the Navamsha chart is not considered fortunate as the native faces problems on an ongoing basis in life. In Shehbaz Sharif’s Navamsha chart, Saturn is placed in the 9th house in the sign of Aries, with Uranus. This is definitely not a fortunate placement. Therefore, Shehbaz Sharif has not been able to enjoy himself like other heads of state.
Finally, a glaring point about the Navamsha chart is that Sun is with Rahu in the 7th house in the sign of Aquarius. The Sun also represents bosses and we can see that Shehbaz Sharif has to answer to foreign powers like China and America while also playing a balancing with the terrorists and Pakistani Military. It is indeed a job not many may want.
Shehbaz Sharif – Current Period
Currently, Shehbaz Sharif is passing through the Major period of Ketu and Minor period of Mars. Since the last few weeks, there is a focus on Pakistan’s conflicts with India and the subsequent damage to Pakistan’s Nuclear assets, resulting in possible radiation leaks. Also, the people of Balochistan are also up in arms due to side effects brought by repeated Nuclear weapon tests the Pakistanis have done there over the years. Balochistan has declared their independence from Pakistan in the 2nd week of May 2025.
From May 26, 2025, he continues in the Major period of Ketu but enters the Minor period of Rahu. In his chart, Ketu is in the 12th house in the sign of Leo with Mercury and retrograde Venus. Rahu is in the 6th house in the sign of Aquarius with Mandi and Gulika. Often, the involvement of the 6th house may also indicate an untimely death, although I am not certain of this. We cannot rule out hospitalization, house-arrest like situations or medical emergencies.
The Ketu-Rahu period continues until May 2026 which was almost a year’s time. Therefore, multiple events can be expected during this time, mostly of a negative nature.
