the astrology of trump and israel's attack on iran | let's take a breath


Under a sky charged by Mars/Uranus volatility layered over a Sun/North Node conjunction and in between two powerful Eclipses - the United States under Trump and along with Israel launch an attack on Iran. 


When Mars hits collective charts and Uranus is entangled with Algol symbolism (loss of control, headlessness, overreaction) and the Sun catches up with the North Node of Fate (and echoes Trump's North Node/Sun/Uranus signature), we get one of the most volatile and dangerous days of 2026. 


Danger Will Robinson. 


Right now, we have a boatload of planets in Pisces including an exalted Venus. Mars (the archetype of war) in Pisces is not a sustained, strategic war energy. It spreads. It acts and then it diffuses. It can lash out emotionally or ideologically, but it doesn’t usually sustain long, methodical campaigns unless other strong earth/fire anchors are present. Now, with that said Mars will be in Aries in a couple weeks where he VERY STRONG. This is also not necessarily a bad thing because Mars in Aries means he is focused/clear and direct. 


I will cut to the chase.


Is there hope here for a short conflict? YES.   


1. Mars in Pisces tends to dissipate/exhaust itself quickly and we start this thing with a Mars in Pisces. 


2. Mars trine Jupiter (March 21st) precedes Mars in Aries. 


Mars in Pisces trine Jupiter in Cancer (and Jupiter will be direct by now) might look like - ceasefire attempts, diplomatic backchanneling, defensive framing instead of offensive because Cancer is more about protection than expansion. 


Now Mars will not be in Pisces for much longer, but it's good news that we have this trine to Jupiter before Mars gets stronger in Aries. 


3. Sun conjunct Saturn plus Saturn sextile Pluto looks something like structured containment.


Sun/Saturn can speak of limits/restraint/a strategic pause (MARCH 25TH-28TH). This could even be a hard stop. Prayers for that. Saturn/Pluto - keep in mind this is an opportunistic sextile and not the harsh conjunction/square/opposition - this is smart/maybe tech enabled realism, cold/detached calculation, maybe structured negotiation. 


Again, this is more about containing something than expanding it.


4. If we jump ahead - Mars conjunct Saturn in Aries might speak of a ceiling. This is on APRIL 19TH and Mars often triggers early. Mercury will be here, too and Juno (partners/alliances) will be exact with Pluto testing/strengthening alliances. 


If this were an expansion cycle, we would expect things like we saw with the Russia/Ukraine - strong fixed sign hard aspects, Mars/Pluto squares/oppositions/activations, fire trines driving land conquest, heavy nodal entanglement with Pluto. We don’t have these kinds of patterns here. Mars was strong and sustained in Cappy then and now we see him in a much weaker position. 


We have something more like FLARE-UP, MANEUVER, LIMIT. 


This is not a guarantee. But archetypally, it leans toward something intense and contained rather than some kind of runaway escalation. 


I was about to write a March post and title it something like, "the ending of all endings", something like that. Now I won't, but March is a big closing out cycle. April is all about the NEW BEGINNINGS as first the Sun - at the Solstice/late March - and then Mars cross the Aries point (that Saturn/Neptune has activated). 


Just before Mars gets into Aries, he will sextile Uranus (4/8) - so now we get the opportunistic sextile rather than the hard square that started this thing. This is more like tactical innovation than explosion. Tech warfare. Precise strikes. Again, this looks quick and not long. Then Mars gets into Aries (4/13), and meets Neptune (4/13) - by now he is drained, maybe acting on flawed intelligence, martyr stuff can be happening - its unstable, yes, but more dissolving than enabling. Then Mars will sextile Pluto (4/16) some kind of coordinated power move/maybe a tech or group/alliance thing. And then Mars - the God of War - will catch up to Saturn/the wall (4/19). This is still Aries and Mars is still strong, but Mars/Saturn is a hard reality check - in Aries this is about what has just started. Maybe here is a ceasefire structure as costs are recognized. This could be a strategic recalibration, but also a HARD STOP. 


Nothing is screaming runaway war to me - BUT there are some worries including Uranus's move into Gemini (where we always seem to find Uranus when the U.S. is involved in big wars) in April ... and, of course, if this drags on - longer term the aspects get harder to pin down. 


Anyway, I just wanted to pop this up. And keep in mind that North Node in Pisces/bigger hands than ours that really have the wheel ... prayers are very powerful. 


xo all


also, I should note - because big things always run cover for hidden things - that the Pentagon announced at the same time that they are replacing Anthropic (the company started by people who left OpenAI over dystopian/world-ending nightmare fears) with OpenAI whose CEO shall not be named (I am not kidding, really look at his name and his chart and tell me what you see) ...
