Will Iran go to war with Israel, or will its rulers change?

Iran

On October 7, Hamas attacked Israel and took people hostage, igniting a war that shows no signs of stopping. Both Hamas and Hezbollah receive funding from Iran, placing Iran under threat. Iran has fired missiles at Israel, raising concerns of a broader conflict.The air is thick with tension, and the world holds its breath.Israel and Iran, two regional powers, are getting closer to a showdown.Meanwhile, Iran’s Revolutionary Guard prepares for a possible conflict while Israeli forces await the outcome.

Let’s briefly review Iran’s history before examining its horoscope.

(Islam reached Iran in the 7th century, replacing Zoroastrianism as the dominant religion. Many Zoroastrians converted; some resisted facing persecution, and others fled to Gujarat, India, forming the Parsi community.)

In the 1930s, Reza Shah Pahlavi modernized Iran, renaming it from Persia to Iran in 1935. He introduced Western-style reforms, making Iran one of the most advanced Islamic nations with greater social freedoms. The 1979 Islamic Revolution, led by Ayatollah Khomeini, overthrew the Pahlavi dynasty, implementing Sharia law and restricting freedoms, including mandatory hijabs for women.

After Khomeini’s death in 1989, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei became Iran’s Supreme Leader, holding ultimate authority over major decisions. Despite its vast oil reserves, Iran faces economic challenges. It supports Hezbollah in Lebanon with about $100 million annually, solidifying its role as a regional power against Israel.

Looking at Iran’s horoscope, Jupiter, the 9th lord, is in the ascendant, while Mars, Sun, and Mercury influence the 9th house, indicating a strong control over power. Guru has a unique effect: wherever it sits, it brings harm, but wherever it looks, it brings benefits.

Foundation Horoscope of Iran

Foundation horoscope of Iran

Despite two favourable planets – exalted Moon in Taurus and exalted Jupiter in Cancer ascendant – this country has chosen a more conservative path. So friends, both Venus and Moon are afflicted by Saturn and Aquarius rising in Navamsa and Saturn becomes very rigid and bigoted with Mercury and Jupiter in Leo.

Look carefully at the position and affliction of Venus in Iran’s horoscope

(“crimes against humanity” “unnecessary and disproportionate use of lethal force” to put down the demonstrations that erupted following Amini’s https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Mahsa_Amini death and that Iranian security forces sexually assaulted detainees.)

The influence of both Saturn and Mars on the ascendant gives rise to challenges that can affect the happiness and prosperity of its people. Despite having an abundance of natural resources like petroleum and natural gas, afflicted Venus has led to a journey full of struggle rather than success.

Iran is currently undergoing a Jupiter-Mars period from July 2024, which will bring together the expansionist nature of Jupiter and the aggressive tendencies of Mars. With Jupiter in the ascendant and Mars, Sun and Mercury in the 9th house (related to ideology and religion), religious fervour and outspoken ideologies are likely to increase in the country. The real power in Iran lies with Ali Khamenei, not the President, but Jupiter’s aspect on Mars may somehow stabilize the situation by March.
 However, when Rahu becomes more active after this period, there could be uncertainty and potential challenges, raising concerns about what might unfold.
The alignment of Rahu in Purva Phalguni Nakshatra reveals an unsettling energy, with Venus deeply afflicted—a sign that pain and repression are at play. It’s a known truth: societies and countries where women face suppression often find themselves lagging in intellectual and scientific progress. When a culture is obsessed with hiding the body, it only breeds more perversion.
Now, let’s return to the crucial astrological insights. Rahu’s conjunction with Mars in both the D-9 and D-10 charts is a powerful indicator of potential upheaval—a signal of a brewing coup. As if that weren’t enough, the looming Mahadasha of Saturn, which follows closely on the heels of this alignment, adds more gravity to the situation. Saturn’s involvement suggests that we’re not just looking at a minor disruption, but a sweeping transformation—preceded by significant turmoil. The full scope of this upheaval will start to reveal itself within the next year or two, reshaping the landscape in profound and unexpected ways. The cosmic currents are stirring, and a dramatic shift is on the horizon.

The planetary alignments suggest a tumultuous path ahead for Iran, where the long-oppressed majority will rise against the dominance of a powerful 10%. This signals a fierce struggle as the people fight to reclaim their lost dignity and freedom. Iran faces a double-edged challenge: an intense internal uprising driven by the desire for change, and an external confrontation with formidable foes—Israel and America. These dual conflicts promise to reshape Iran’s future, as the nation stands on the brink of both internal revolution and external war.
