Iran 2026: War, Prophecy, and the Fourth Turning

In this episode of World Astrology Report, astrologer Dan Waites examines the explosive escalation in the Middle East after the United States and Israel launch a war against Iran, assassinating its leader and igniting a conflict that could reshape the global order.

Looking at the astrology behind the crisis, we explore how the outbreak of war aligns with the volatile Mars–Uranus square at 28° Aquarius–Taurus, activated on the malefic fixed star Algol, a signature historically associated with violence, shocks and “decapitation” symbolism. The episode then zooms out to the much larger astrological backdrop: the Saturn–Neptune conjunction at 0° Aries, the first in that degree since 4360 BC, suggesting that the events unfolding now may mark the beginning of an entirely new era of history.

We also examine the astrology of Israel itself, the geopolitical and religious dimensions of the conflict, and the possibility that the present crisis is part of a much larger historical cycle—one that may correspond with the Fourth Turning and the Uranus cycle associated with major American wars.

Finally, we explore some of the stranger undercurrents surrounding this moment in history, from prophetic warnings and UFO experiencer Chris Bledsoe’s predictions to the possibility that the Saturn–Neptune era could coincide with events that radically alter humanity’s understanding of reality.
