Third World War in 2026? – In the Context of Trump’s Horoscope

The world had barely entered the year 2026 when, on the night of 2 January, Trump carried out air strikes on four cities of Venezuela. The very next day, around midnight, Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife were arrested and taken to the United States, where legal proceedings against them are currently underway.

US President Donald Trump, while justifying this military action, stated that it was necessary for American interests. Maduro has been accused of drug trafficking, and Trump further declared that America’s control over Venezuela could continue for a long period. He even declared himself the “Acting President” of Venezuela.

Change of Power and Control Over Venezuelan Resources

However, within Venezuela, senior minister Delcy Rodríguez has been appointed as the interim president, and the Trump administration has issued strongly worded instructions, almost amounting to threats, stating that she must run Venezuela’s administration in accordance with American interests.

Trump has also established control over Venezuelan oil and has begun implementing a long-term plan to allow American companies to invest in oil extraction there.

Global Condemnation and Rising International Anxiety

The military action against Venezuela and the abduction and arrest of its president triggered widespread international condemnation. The global community has become deeply concerned that the United States, acting as a unipolar superpower, has begun misusing its strength.

Support for Protests and Threats Against Iran

Trump did not stop there. He openly supported the ongoing anti-government protests in Iran and has been continuously threatening the Iranian government, stating that if protesters are suppressed in an inhuman manner, America may take direct military action.

He has even encouraged opposition protesters to occupy public buildings.

Greenland and the Expansion of Military Intent

Meanwhile, Trump also issued direct military threats regarding Greenland, openly stating his intention to bring it under American control.

He even managed to pass legislation through the US Congress, under which America is now legally committed to ensuring the security of Greenland and Denmark, thereby enabling potential military intervention in Greenland.

NATO Concerns and the Role of Major Powers

In reality, Greenland lies within Denmark’s sphere of influence, and Denmark is a member of NATO. If the United States were to conduct military action against a member of NATO, an organization it itself created, it would be extremely alarming.

This concern deepens further because Russia and China openly supported Venezuela’s President Maduro.

China, Russia, and Iran: A Growing Power Bloc

China has massive investments in Venezuela and is also the largest buyer of Venezuelan oil. Similarly, Iran also enjoys the support of Russia and China.

If the United States undertakes Venezuela-like direct action against Iran, Russia and China are certain to oppose it.

Breakdown of International Norms

Trump’s aggressive policies are destroying international norms and legal frameworks. Now, major powers may begin subjugating smaller neighboring countries to expand their own spheres of influence and protect national interests.

Middle East Power Shift and Israel’s Role

The United States is fixated on Greenland, while simultaneously attempting regime change in Iran, openly supported by Israel.

The fall of Iran’s Khamenei government would drastically alter Middle Eastern geopolitics, with Israel emerging as the most powerful state, upsetting the balance of power and leading to regional instability.

Global Expansion Plans of Superpowers

Trump’s list of territories targeted for expansion or influence does not stop with Greenland and Iran—it also includes Cuba and several other nations.

China, too, is watching for such opportunities, as it seeks to assert control over Taiwan. Russia is likewise expected to intensify efforts to reclaim former Soviet territories, including Ukraine.

The World at a Dangerous Crossroads

The global political environment now resembles conditions just before World War II. Experts fear that the world stands on the brink of World War III.

If Trump does not restrain himself and proceeds with military action in Greenland and Iran, international tensions will escalate, and even a small spark could ignite a global war.

Astrology and the Possibility of a Third World War

Let us now attempt to examine through astrology whether a Third World War is possible in 2026, using the birth chart of US President Donald Trump.

We will also explore the astrological reasons behind Trump’s world-shaking decisions and the challenges he may face in the coming period.

Birth Details of Donald Trump

Date of Birth: 14 June 1946
Time of Birth: 10:54 AM
Place of Birth: Jamaica, USA

Planetary Configuration and Personality Traits

In Trump’s Leo ascendant birth chart, Mars, the yoga-karaka planet, is positioned in the ascendant, while the Sun, the lord of the ascendant, is powerfully placed in the tenth house.

The Moon is under the influence of Mars, Sun, Rahu, and Ketu, creating a planetary configuration that fosters a desire to dominate others.

Decision-Making Tendencies and Aggressive Approach

Such a native seeks to keep others under control and is willing to go to any extent to achieve this.

This combination also produces a tendency toward radical and impulsive decision-making. It makes the individual stubborn, aggressive, and prone to taking decisions without fully considering long-term consequences.

Astrological Periods Influencing Global Events

As previously discussed in the May 2025 article “Global Tariff War: When Will This Phase End? – In the Context of Trump’s Horoscope,” Trump’s Jupiter Mahadasha, under the Sun’s sub-period, initiated a phase of intimidation, pressure tactics, and confrontation with other nations.

This phase was expected to continue until February 2026, under Rahu’s sub-period.

Rahu Sub-Period and Escalation of Conflicts

Rahu’s sub-period began in September 2025 and will last until 4 February 2026.

During this period, direct military action like Venezuela was witnessed, along with aggressive posturing toward Iran and Greenland.

Public Opposition and Image Challenges

Simultaneously, public opposition grew, damaging Trump’s image and leading to protests in several places.

Jupiter Sub-Period and Possible Temporary Relief

After 4 February 2026, Trump will enter Jupiter’s sub-period within the Jupiter Mahadasha.

While Jupiter’s placement suggests some moderation, its influence does not indicate a complete reduction in aggression.

Conclusion: A Brief Pause, Not Peace

Therefore, it would be incorrect to assume that Trump will suddenly adopt peaceful policies.

However, compared to Rahu’s sub-period, Jupiter’s sub-period may bring some restraint in impulsive actions, offering the world temporary relief. This phase will continue until June 2026.
