On 28 February 2026, Israel and the US attacked Iran, and Tehran responded with missile and drone attacks across the Middle East. Donald Trump says the US and Israel are carrying out a “massive and ongoing” operation with the goal of regime change.
Astrology of the 2026 Israel–US War on Iran
The most accurate time I have found for the beginning of the 2026 Israeli–United States strikes on Iran is at “about 9:27 am (06:27 GMT),” when “Iran’s Fars news agency reported a series of explosions in the capital, Tehran.” [1]
2026 Israeli–US Strikes on Iran
The astrology chart for this attack is extremely powerful, with five conjunctions. The most critical being Mercury conjunct Venus and Mars conjunct Solar Eclipse. Mars square Uranus is the most significant of the remaining aspects.
Mercury Conjunct Venus
Mercury conjunct Venus (0°01′) is usually favorable for relationships, finance, business, cooperation, negotiations and peace.
However, Mercury went stationary retrograde on February 26, bringing poor judgment, misunderstandings, and disagreements. Cooperation and compromise became more difficult, negotiation and diplomacy more complicated, and peace harder to achieve.
The US-Iran nuclear talks aimed at averting war concluded on Thursday, February 26. [2] Well, if you want to start a war, schedule peace talks for the day of Mercury retrograde!
Mercury retrograde and Venus conjunct fixed star Markab at 23♓50 indicates misfortune, unrealized ambitions, propaganda, criticism, caprice, bad judgment, embarrassment, involvement with questionable associates, friends becoming enemies, disgrace, self-destruction, fire, and violent death. A tendency to be rash and headstrong can lead to bad decisions that could prove unfortunate for many people for a long time, resulting in domestic and legal problems.
Mars Conjunct Solar Eclipse
Mars conjunct Solar Eclipse (0°40′) indicates ego-driven self-assertion, competition, the desire to win at all costs, aggression, risk-taking, conflict and war.
The February 17 solar eclipse, square Uranus, dramatically increased tension, uncertainty, and impulsiveness. Mars activating the eclipse degree ignited the potential for unpredictable, explosive events, sudden change, chaos, rebellion, and conflict.
Mars Square Uranus
Mars square Uranus (0°26′) caused impulsiveness, sudden willfulness, recklessness, and rebelliousness, leading to rash actions without regard for consequences.
The consequences include significant disruption, conflict, revolution, mistakes, accidents, explosions, electrocution, injuries, ridicule and ostracism.
Uranus conjunct fixed star Algol at 26♉31 brings violence, extreme misfortune, destruction, tragedies, evil, ruthlessness, brutality, fanaticism, extremist actions, bigotry, secrets, propaganda, vandalism, accidents, severe injuries, murder, decapitation, hanging, electrocution and mob violence.
Astrology of Iran
The biwheel chart below shows the transits for the attack on the outer wheel, and the national horoscope of Iran on the inner wheel.
Iran Vs Israel-US Attack
As mentioned in Iran Protests January 2026, Pluto opposite Jupiter transit is the primary long-term influence affecting Iran.
Lasting from April 2025 to December 2026, it places intense pressure on the Iranian Government and leadership because, in mundane astrology, Jupiter rules the state religion. Religion is the State in Iran.
This transit is acting to destroy, or at the very least, transform, the religious government, the judicial system, the nation’s wealth, banks, universities, and the elite. Foreign enemies of Iran are acting to undermine the government.
Vertex Point conjunct Pluto suggests desruction and transformation but does bring the risk of nuclear warfare.
Part of Fortune conjunct Vertex Point indicates success.
March 2026 is a Turning Point
March 3, 2026: Lunar Eclipse at 12♍54, conjunct Iran’s Saturn (0°24′). This could indicate harship and restriction. It could adversely affect agriculture, worsen the drought, bring disasters, increase debt and cause bankruptcies. However, it could also mean new foundations for future stability and security.
March 15, 2026: Saturn square Midheaven transit (1 of 1) is a bad omen for the leadership, stability, national trade, employment, and Iran’s reputation.
March 17, 2026: Saturn trine Jupiter transit (1 of 1) indicates steady growth, increasing wealth, stability, law and order, and perhaps even improving foreign relations.
March 31, 2026: Saturn conjunct Ascendant transit (1 of 1) can be a positive or a negative influence. However, Jupiter trine Ascendant in the Iranian astrology chart suggests a positive outcome.
This could be a culmination of years of harship for the people of Iran due to internal repression, external economic warfare, and military provocation.
