Israel–US–Iran Conflict: A War Without Resolution?

The ongoing conflict involving Israel, the United States, and Palestine has become one of the most concerning global issues. Therefore, it is important to examine it not only from a geopolitical perspective but also through an astrological lens. To understand the possible outcome of this war, we must first revisit certain historical milestones that have been central to the Israel–Palestine conflict. The first point of reference is the establishment of Israel after World War II. Israel was formally established on May 14, 1948, which can also be considered the date when it declared itself an independent nation. The Jewish people had long lived under neglect and the shadow of persecution. The dispute between Israel and Palestine involves issues such as Israel’s claim over Arab land, the status of Jerusalem, and various dimensions of international relations. Therefore, any prediction must take into account those global events that influence these dynamics. Their dates, planetary alignments, and zodiacal positions play a decisive role in determining future outcomes. Since Israel declared itself an independent nation, both minor and major conflicts have continued, particularly surrounding the displacement of Palestinians, which has remained a constant source of tension. From an astrological standpoint, another significant date is September 13, 1993, when the ‘Oslo Accord’ was signed between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization at the White House in the United States. The planetary positions of that date also become crucial in making predictions.

In Israel’s horoscope, the Moon and Saturn are positioned together, while the Sun and Rahu are in conjunction, with the Sun being exalted. Mars resides in the house of the Sun. The implication of these planetary combinations is that Israel is compelled to remain in a constant state of military readiness and frequently finds itself surrounded by nations identified as Muslim countries, leading it to continuously fight for its existence. However, the favorable aspects of Mars on Saturn and Venus, combined with strength in science and technology, have enabled Israel to maintain a position of resilience and near invincibility.

In the present context, the tension between Israel, Hamas, Palestine, and Iran stems from the sudden attack on Israel by Hamas militants on the morning of October 7, 2023, using paragliders or parachutes. This led to the deaths of hundreds of people, and many Israelis were taken hostage. At that time, the planetary transit conditions showed Rahu and Jupiter positioned in the Sun’s house, forming the ‘Guru Chandal Yoga.’ With a direct aspect of Mars on this combination, it resulted in destructive events. The war continued for a long duration, with occasional pauses, but both sides suffered significant losses. This prolonged conflict can be attributed to the Guru Chandal Yoga and the full influence of a malefic planet like Mars.

In this war, the role of U.S. President Donald Trump has been extremely significant, as his direct involvement escalated the intensity of the conflict. Therefore, it becomes necessary to examine his horoscope as well. Trump’s chart is based on Scorpio ascendant, where the Moon is debilitated. Such individuals tend to have intense personalities and unstable thought patterns rather than calm and composed minds. His horoscope is influenced by the auspicious ‘Jyeshtha Nakshatra,’ while Venus and Saturn are both in strong positions. Mars is placed in Leo, the sign of the Sun. The Sun and Rahu are in Taurus, and the Moon is afflicted by Ketu. Such a configuration suggests that individuals like Donald Trump can be highly successful in business and later attain political power in the latter half of life.

However, the aggressive nature indicated by this chart also affects personal relationships and decision-making stability. At present, Saturn is transiting Pisces in the fifth house of his horoscope, a position that will remain from March 29, 2025, until June 3, 2027. It is noteworthy that Donald Trump assumed office as President of the United States on January 20, 2025. Within two months of taking office, the adverse influence of Saturn began affecting his mental clarity. Furthermore, whenever Saturn comes under the influence of malefic planets during transit, his decisions tend to become increasingly impulsive. On February 15, when the Sun entered Aquarius, he hastily ordered a direct attack on Iran on February 28, 2026, without sufficient preparation. On March 15, the Sun moved into Pisces and joined Saturn, further intensifying his impulsive actions and statements, leading to a loss of support even from allied nations. However, on April 15, as the Sun transitions and moves away from Saturn, a more conciliatory approach is likely to emerge in Trump’s behavior. There is a strong possibility that shortly after April 15, he may declare a partial or symbolic victory, claim that Iran has been defeated, and withdraw from the war unilaterally. However, tensions between Palestine, the Gaza Strip, Iran, and Israel are expected to persist. While no major large-scale war is indicated again, sporadic attacks may continue. It is also suggested that neither side will resort to nuclear, chemical, or biological weapons.

The Path to Resolution

To explore a possible resolution, one must revisit the Oslo Accord signed on September 13, 1993, in Washington. Based on the planetary positions of that time, an attempt can be made to identify a solution. On that date, the Moon and Venus were in Cancer, the Sun was in its own sign, while Jupiter, Mars, and Mercury were in Virgo. Rahu was in Scorpio, Saturn was in its own sign Aquarius, and Ketu was in Taurus. According to these astrological configurations, the current period remains under the influence of Rahu until May 22, 2026. Therefore, it is likely that the ongoing tensions and conflict between Israel, Palestine, and Iran may subside after May 22, 2026, without reaching any concrete conclusion. The Oslo Accord, which aimed to establish a secure Israel alongside an independent Palestinian state through a ‘two-state solution,’ remains astrologically strong enough to serve as the ultimate path to peace between the two sides.
