Critical dates

(For long-term predictions gathered all in one place, see this page. For critical dates in the short or medium term, see this page.)

I do not focus that much on dates when I make my interpretations, because of lack of time. Here, I list the dates that sometimes jumped out while making the interpretations. For interpretations themselves, or which date could be associated with what kind of event, see the respective country's posts. If I mention a month-long period as critical, that is not listed here: that would be in the respective interpretations only.

Once a season gets over, I may remove or retain the old dates, while adding the new dates for the next season. This page, thus, will be edited often. Sometimes, I may also do another round of analysis just to find critical dates, so keep checking this page often.

If you are a non-believer, you are advised to keep a record of this page, so no one accuses me of inserting anything after the fact. Astrology is a very serious work that requires the highest intelligence: a genuine astrologer does not gain any knowledge by manipulating anything, because a genuine astrologer keeps learning in the school of life.

Do note that it is not that things will definitely happen on or around each of the dates I list out here. These are just potentially critical dates. Nothing may happen, or things may happen on some other dates. Note also that these are dates when an astrological phenomenon peaks: sometimes, however, things may happen in the real life a couple of days earlier or later.

Access to this page shall always be available to all readers.

Last country-specific update done: 17 January 2026, added Spring 2026 and some Summer 2026 dates (and some dates beyond) for the United States

FOR ALL OR MOST REGIONS

[The below-mentioned dates, with a further 2-3 days on each end of the range, should be avoided for travel, if not necessary.

Also, it is also important to check my account on X or Bluesky, where I sometimes post some critical dates that I don't always update here.]

Overall, the month of April 2026 may be a quite malefic month, producing several major negative incidents, conflicts and deaths of important people in the world.

  • There are likely to be more than the usual no. of malefic incidents and strong accidents in Western Europe during Winter 2025-26 and early Spring 2026 (21 Dec 2025 to 10 May 2026), especially during February-March 2026 and late April-early May 2026. (posted on X on 6 Dec 2025)
  • Late July 2025 to early March 2026: The period from late July 2025 till early March 2026 is likely to bring several mega-earthquakes (or highly destructive quakes) as well as tsunami occurrences. It will be a very quake-prone and water-prone (tsunami, storms, etc.) period the world over.
  • 28 Jan-6 Feb 2026: This period may see strong disasters and other important events in the world. The dates 4-6 Feb 2026, in particular, are extremely malefic. Some major negative incidents are possible during these dates.
  • 14 Feb-21 Feb 2026 and 26 Feb-6 Mar 2026: Expect increased accidents, violence, storms, etc.
  • 14 Feb to 23 Mar 2026: Overall, expect a high frequency of accidents, travel inconveniences and communication glitches.
  • 20-23 Mar 2026: These dates may produce accidents, deaths, earthquakes, storms, very heavy rains, etc.
  • 26-27 Mar 2026: Could bring trouble for U.S. President Donald Trump
  • 30 Mar-5 Apr, 14-21 Apr and 27-30 Apr 2026: In general, the month of April 2026 may be an extremely malefic month, with several disasters and travel accidents that could take place. The period from around 17 April to 30 April 2026 [modified on 17 Jan 2026 as 15 April to 30 April 2026] may bring strong transportation accidents, including for journeys involving a Boeing plane, as well as communication technology issues (e.g., outage of some network). Riots and conflicts could take place in some places. In addition, some businesses may also suffer during this period. Some of the most critical areas of the world to watch out for in April 2026 would be parts of the Balkans (especially Bosnia-Macedonia part), the Punjab-Kashmir-Afghanistan region of the Indian subcontinent, parts of Iran, parts of the Levant (especially Israel-Lebanon-Syria-Jordan region and Egypt), Russia and the Baltic states (especially Lithuania), Sweden and parts of Germany. In the above period, the subperiod of 18-21 April is intensely malefic (also falling objects, fires & explosions, mine accidents, earthquakes, storms, etc., besides all that mentioned already).
  • 3-6 May 2026: accidents, deaths, earthquakes, storms, etc.; death of some leader highly likely in this time.
  • 18-19 May 2026: produce accidents, deaths, earthquakes, storms, etc.
  • First half of June 2026: Major breakthroughs, including some very positive events or military gains, could happen relating to Muslim land(s) or communities. This may also be an upbeat period for stocks in general.
  • 28 Jun-24 Jul 2026: a period of high frequency of accidents (minor and major), quakes, communication glitches, etc.
  • 15-22 July 2026: Incidents of terrorism and violence may increase; strikes, demonstrations, rebellions increase; high precipitation in some areas; volcanic eruption could occur.

Overall, the period from mid-July 2026 till the end of July 2027 should be a very strident period of violence: expect to see further increased terrorism, separatist movements and independence struggles, conflicts of such a nature, activism, protests or rights movements involving power struggle, wars and conflicts in general, and higher volcanic activity in general. There may also be major space missions or ocean exploration (or deepsea exploration) missions during this period.

  • 5-15 Aug 2026: High frequency of major accidents (including plane crashes), disasters and other malefic incidents; there may be problems to leaders, rulers and authorities in some countries
  • 24-31 Aug 2026: a time of several accidents and other malefic incidents, including some major ones
  • October 2026: some strong developments and difficult incidents in or relating to Muslim land(s) or communities
  • 23 Oct-14 Nov 2026: a period of high frequency of accidents (minor and major), quakes, communication glitches, etc.
  • 12-15 Nov 2026: strong earthquakes, major fires or notable incidents of violence could occur
  • 2-7 Feb 2027: terrorist incidents could occur; heavy precipitation, too, could occur in some areas; negative incident(s) affecting or involving Muslim land(s) or communities likely; death of major artist(s) and/or some prominent wealthy person(s)
  • 8 Feb-4 Mar 2027: a period of high frequency of accidents (minor and major), quakes, fires, etc.
  • 14-18 Feb 2027: strong earthquakes, fires and/or major incidents of violence or notable accidents
  • 21 Feb-4 Mar 2027: strong fires, explosions or incidents of violence; major accidents
  • 18-21 Mar 2027: strong earthquake or major accident may occur; tech outage, cyber breach or some other communication disruption (e.g., power lines or subsea cables getting affected) highly likely

SOME OBSERVATIONS ON 2025-2033 PERIOD

  • The beginning of this period (2025-2027) may bring seismic changes for Russia. It may also bring important changes, especially of consolidation of power or territorial gains or conflicts, for China. (See this post for more.) These changes, needless to say, will leave a strong imprint for ever on the history of these two lands.
  • Highly significant, durable shifts in the politics, economy and societies of some of the following nations may happen during the 2025-2031 period: Mongolia, Vietnam, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Israel, Palestine, Azerbaijan, England, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Denmark, Norway.
  • The conflict over Abkhazia (Georgia) may see a new direction, resolution or intensification during 2025-2031.
  • There may be large earthquakes in Italy and Nepal during the 2025-2028 period.
  • The United States would see significant challenges during the period from late 2025 till 2033. Its borders may change, foreign relations may see hostile exchanges and the country itself may see a new identity or secession of states. The years from mid-2030 to 2032, in particular, look very difficult for the United States region.
  • A period of significant strife, civil action, strikes, terrorism, assassinations of top leaders and wars, overall, for the world during 2025-2033. This may also be a period of significant financial instability and volatility.
  • Many serious aviation and boat/ship accidents, with casualties, could happen during the 2025-2028 period. Big earthquakes, too, may be more frequent.
  • Some major jewellery producer and/or glassmaker may fail during 2025-2027 period.
  • The period from late 2025 to 2032 may bring significant changes in communication, information and space technology and communication itself (e.g., whom we communicate with: machines, aliens, etc.). Late 2025 to mid-2026 period itself may yield a huge breakthrough that may significantly and durably change how human society functions.
  • Climate shift: Strong storms and rainfall may become a feature of the MENA region, not only in 2025-2031 but even beyond that for a few decades to come. The most strongly affected may be the Iraq-Saudi Arabia-Yemen area. If rains and storms become a regular feature of any part of the MENA region, the whole world's climate systems would be disrupted drastically—for example, it would strongly influence and modify the South Asian monsoon system—and existing climate models used by scientists would have to be completely redefined. In general, it can be expected that many places hitherto barren or sandy may receive a lot of rain, and places that are green may face droughts. However, this may be the general principle, not to be applied to every single place.
  • Big earthquakes, in general, may be more frequent during 2025-2028, especially in hilly areas.

(Observations made on 22 March 2025; any future observations regarding this period, I will list below this line)

INDIVIDUAL-SPECIFIC

For quite some of the people born during March 19-24 of any year (particularly March 20-21), years 2025-27 may be significant. For many, they may bring issues to resolve or problems or health issues to themselves or a close family member, but for some, they may bring necessary discipline and be good as well.
