Updates/reminders on India, USA, Middle East, Brazil, AI bubble

India

I'd always predicted India to enter a long war from around Aug 2026 onwards, which starts low-key and then develops into a massive war.

I've also always predicted parts of India to be occupied/annexed in time to come, during 2028-2033, and in comments on my Twitter account, I've often said that India's northeastern and northern areas are the most likely to be occupied/annexed.

Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) Director General Shatrujeet Kapur's comments, about China-India tensions on the Eastern Tibet border, have now confirmed what I had said: the predicted long war has indeed begun. It also seems to have started precisely in the Jul 13-23 period that I had marked for the skirmishes to begin: see this tweet or screenshot:

Early November 2026 may also bring major political or literal earthquake in the Indian subcontinent, as I reminded my followers again on Twitter a few days ago:

The near future of India, as I have always published, is very grim on all fronts: political, economic and military. The country faces end of the post-1950 state as well as ruin during 2029-2032 in particular. (See long-term predictions on India and other countries here.)

Brazil

On August 5, 2026, I predicted that the PT candidate (which would be Lula) to stay as President and even win heavily. However, that prediction does not seem to be going right: not only the fight is close, but Bolsonaro won the first round, and expected to beat Lula in the second round.

However, even after the 1st round, when I went back to charts, my opinion has remained the same: that I don't see Flávio Bolsonaro winning. Most probably, my prediction will go wrong, and I'd receive flak from trolls and sceptics, but I have to say what the charts say. Here's my reiterated prediction tweet, and screenshot:

United States / AI "bubble"

Many people have commented or asked about two things: (1) the 2026 Midterms, and (2) my Trump predictions.

(1) Midterms, as a whole, can't be predicted astrologically. They don't change the ruler of the country, nor the voting starts at some known, predefined time and date. Of course, specific candidates' chances can be predicted, especially if the candidate's birth details are known reliably.

(2) I had marked April or August 2026 as likely dates for Trump's Presidency ending: the former based on Trump's chart, the latter based on U.S. chart. Trump's chart did prove a quite reliable indicator, as usual: April 2026 saw an assassination attempt, but Trump escaped unhurt easily. August 2026 did not see anything reported: I, of course, wouldn't know of any behind-the-scenes medical emergency. However, I don't believe Trump would complete his term: thus, danger for him continues. I have not looked at Trump's birth chart for a long time, but if he is still there by the end of 2026, I plan to have a look at it again.

A few people have also said that the year so far has not been as grim for the USA as I had predicted back in mid-January 2026. Now, this is perhaps subjective. What has transpired since then? USA has stuck itself inextricably into the Iran war, which not only affects negatively its finances and weapons stockpile, but also is hurting its international credibility and foreign policy. The grimness, according to me, has been masked by the AI euphoria.

However, a fair question/critique can be put up: that if the AI is strong enough to mask it, then how can it be called grim anyway? The thing is, though: how long can the bubble/overvaluation last, how long can current energy-guzzling approaches of AI be socially acceptable, and how long can the U.S. dollar resist devaluation in the face of massive and ever-growing debt?

I think, not long, with December 2026 likely to be a time when the balloon could puncture. I tweeted, for example, as a hint, about it on September 16, 2026:

Let's see, though, if there's a brief rally for a couple of days next week, that is, in late October: but that is a lesser signal than the December 2026 signal.

On September 21, 2026, I also looked at the history of U.S. currencies and made near-term predictions on U.S. dollar.

Middle East

Iran and the wider Middle East is perhaps the area I am the most known for: right from predicting the Twelve-Day war to the U.S.-Israel strike on Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and then onwards the de facto of expansion of Iranian influence as the Iranian-backed Ansarallah gained territory against the Saudi proxies in Yemen, as well as the strong troubles for UAE and Saudi Arabia during 2026.

As most of my readers know, I've predicted strong war in most of the Middle East from mid- to late November 2026 onwards, and high casualty count in places like the UAE and Iran during late November 2026 to mid-January 2027. I've also said consistently, from early 2026 itself, that the present-day states of UAE and Saudi Arabia, in their present form, are likely to end in 2026 and 2027: the Sauds would lose control of Mecca eventually, while the end of states such as the UAE could be very nigh. I don't model states like Bahrain, but I assume that if the situation goes as far as the UAE falling, states like Bahrain would already have fallen. I have predicted a civil war to begin anew in Lebanon, and Netanyahu to fall in Israel.

The time is now coming near for the Middle East to experience a very febrile period. I'd like to model Iraq and Egypt, as both of these are critical.

Well, the update finishes: let me know through comments or replying to the email if I should publish such updates occasionally for various parts of the world: maybe monthly?

If in doubt, refer to my published predictions. You will also find several details gathered together on the 'Long-term predictions' page for all countries that I model currently.

If there's a country that you would like to see predictions on, you could let me know, and I'd add it to my queue. Over the last few months, I added Mexico and Lebanon to my regular and long-term predictions and Cuba and Singapore to long-term predictions. Starting to predict a new region or country takes a lot of research and several days, as I have to delve deep into the history of that land and its peoples. I never take any chart off the shelf: I design my own charts after a study of history, current events, ethnicities and culture of a place. It is not that just because a country became independent at some date and time, the corresponding chart would necessarily reveal the country's future.

You could of course also pay for my time if you'd really like to see the predictions for a region without waiting for me to go through the queue.

Note that astrology is a probabilistic science, not a deterministic science. We are not automatons, and I am not God. On top of that, I am fallible, with still much to learn. Thus, not everything that I will say will happen, but most things will happen as predicted, and you will also get the drift of things: that's the main utility of it. It requires boldness, honesty and a firm belief in Truth to publish any prediction, given that everything, being a prediction, is published in advance, and nothing in hindsight. Do always respect that: do not succumb to the temptation of trolling or insulting others. If something is not for you, there is no reason to stay: but if you are tarrying awhile, why not to spend time in seeking wisdom and wondering about our magnificent Universe rather than on gratuitous ego satisfaction?

Note: Regularly updated lists of some of my successful predictions in the past can be found here.
