Middle East war predictions: 20-27 October 2026

For lack of time, I have not been able to publish war predictions regularly, but, as anticipated, war has been heavy in the Middle East, and currently it is centered on Saudi Arabia and Yemen. As I write, I am receiving the news that the Ansarallah has hit a training centre in Yemen’s Shabwa Governate with three ballistic missiles, killing at least 58 recruits and wounding more than 200 others, with the death toll expected to rise further. This one strike in itself gives you an idea of the intensity of the ongoing war.

The 20-27 October 2026 prediction period should have been 18-27 October 2026: but I am late in publishing these predictions. Nevertheless, I hope that the predictions prove useful. I expect various parts of Saudi Arabia to continue facing strong attacks, especially the Red Sea, Madinah and Riyadh areas; western Yemen and Sanaa area will also continue to face heavy strikes and violence. Iran, too, looks susceptible in this period: not only southeastern and southern Iran, but even Tehran-Isfahan area, which has not been hit for a long time (or, maybe, there would be notable earthquakes in this area). Jordan's rulers/royals may face troubles in this period, and Erbil area/Kurdish areas of Iraq may see violence. Southern Lebanon-Israel-Palestine continue to see strong violence.

A note about Ukraine (outside the scope of this post): both the Dnipro-Crimea and Poltava-Kharkiv areas of Ukraine look very, very highly malefic, and high number of casualties may occur.

Now, if my anticipation about the continuation of war in the Middle East during 20-27 October 2026 is wrong, then instead of strong events of a war, one would get relatively "minor" incidents: accidents, landmines exploding, light and moderate quakes, storms, etc. However, the happening of events is near-certain near the prediction lines: the only question that remains is of their intensity. Everything operates in the context of relativity, as astrology is defined by an event's imprint on mass consciousness.

Let's see the actual prediction lines now.

PREDICTIONS

Noteworthy malefic incidents, strong ground activity (collapse of buildings and structures, fall of objects to the ground, earthquakes, landslides, etc.), airstrikes and/or notable accidents are likely near (within 250 km of the line, but mostly much, much closer) the following prediction lines. You may extrapolate all lines further at both their ends; I have looked only at the most relevant sections, but events can occur on extrapolated sections of the lines, too.

This post is published on 19 October 2026 at 22:43 hours UTC. This post won't be edited once it's published.

The following line was published by me a day earlier, at Astro Weather Watch, and I repeat it here:

• Straight line running through 30°00′N, 52°06′E (near Sargah, Fars, Iran).

The other lines are as follows:

• Straight line running through 27°00′N, 60°38′E (near Naigun, Sistan and Baluchestan, Iran).

This prediction, too, was already made a day ago at Astro Weather Watch. Today, news is emerging that Konarak naval base, close to this line, has been hit by the U.S.

• Straight line running through 35°00′N, 51°15′E (near 'Aliabad-e Kur Gal, Qom, Iran). Troubles for children, the young, or students, troubles for travellers/tourists, pilots/sailors, mediapersons and diplomats, notable accidents affecting labourers or port/airport or industrial workers, communication troubles/network outages, and storms or strong winds also possible near this line.

• Line between 30°36′N, 49°37′E (near Abu Masul, Khuzestan, Iran) and 23°53′N, 52°58′E (near Milaysah, Baynounah, Abu Dhabi, UAE). Troubles for travellers, network outages (power, IT, water, etc.), storms or strong winds, and troubles to authorities or those in high positions also possible near this line.

• Line between 26°30′N, 44°10′E (near Buraydah, Al Qassim Province, Saudi Arabia) and 22°11′N, 46°01′E (north of Al Haddar, Riyadh Province, Saudi Arabia). This is a very strongly malefic line, and high violence likely near it. Troubles for the destitute, low temperatures, very heavy precipitation and storms, troubles for waste processing or storage facilities, conflicts to gain power, notable criminal incidents, troubles for criminal networks and troubles for those in positions of power also likely in some sections of this line.

• Straight line running through 36°00′N, 43°46′E (near Kar Group, Erbil Governorate, Iraq). Troubles for soldiers or surgeons, troubles for the young, or storms also likely near this line.

• Straight line running through 18°00′N, 42°58′E (near Arab, Aseer Province, Saudi Arabia). Troubles for children, the young, or students, troubles for travellers/tourists, pilots/sailors, mediapersons and diplomats, notable accidents affecting labourers or port/airport or industrial workers, communication troubles/network outages, and storms or strong winds also possible near this line. This is a strongly malefic line, especially for conflicts, violence and fires/explosions.

• Line between 26°00′N, 40°26′E (near Al Hait, Hail Province, Saudi Arabia) and 20°23′N, 42°40′E (near Al Sheqiqah, Aseer Province, Saudi Arabia). Troubles for nobles, those of high status, or those belonging to the religious domain also likely near this line.

• Straight line running through 32°12′N, 35°58′E (southeast of Jerash, Jerash Governorate, Jordan). Copious precipitation, troubles to women or the young or to those in art, fashion or luxury sectors, troubles for the wealthy or authority figures may also occur near this line.

• Straight line running through 33°17′N, 35°02′E (off Tyre, Lebanon). This is a highly malefic line, and high violence likely near it. Troubles for the destitute, low temperatures, very heavy precipitation and storms, troubles for waste processing or storage facilities, conflicts to gain power, notable criminal incidents, notable troubles for children and youth, troubles for criminal networks and troubles for those in positions of power also likely in some sections of this line.
