EDGE OF ESCALATION:

Will Diplomacy Fail Before 12th May 2026?

A Mundane Astrological Analysis of the U.S.–Iran Crisis

🌍 Introduction: Geneva at the Brink

As U.S. and Iranian negotiators gather in Geneva for what is being described as a “last-ditch diplomatic effort,” military assets are simultaneously being positioned within striking distance of Iran. Two U.S. carrier groups in the region reflect not merely strategic caution but a preparedness for escalation.

President Trump, as per internal deliberations reported, is considering an initial targeted strike if negotiations fail — with the possibility of a larger campaign in the coming months.

However, the real question is not political.
It is planetary.

Because as already predicted in my earlier research, the period from 17th February to 12th May 2026 carries explosive combinations rarely seen together.

🔱 The Astrological Background of Escalation

In Mundane Astrology, war-like conditions arise when:

• Mars (aggression) is activated

• Saturn (state power & prolonged conflict) exerts pressure

• Rahu (sudden, unconventional strike) is afflicted

• Eclipses destabilize leadership and diplomacy

• Multiple malefics occupy watery or airy signs

The present planetary climate satisfies several of these conditions simultaneously.

📅 CRITICAL TIME WINDOWS (Already Predicted)

Surgical Strike Possible between the 27th -28th Feb-5th  March 2026

🔴 17th February – 5th March 2026

Rahu Affliction & Eclipse Impact

• Solar Eclipse (17 Feb)

• Lunar Eclipse (3 March)

• Rahu under double affliction

• Mars influence building

Interpretation:
Diplomatic breakdowns, miscalculations, intelligence failures, and sharp rhetoric.

This is not a peaceful negotiation window.
This is psychological warfare.

🔴 23rd February – 2nd April 2026

Mars–Rahu Angarak Influence

Rahu  Double affliction and Turns as a Deadly Serpent in the following Time Frames

28^th Feb. 2026- 1^st-5^th March, 13^th-18^th March, 25^th to 31^st March= 19 days

When Mars joins Rahu:

• Sudden strike potential

• Tactical military signaling

• High-risk decisions

• Oil & precious metals volatility

This is the classic demonstration strike window, not necessarily full invasion.

🔴 2nd April – 12th May 2026

 Full Scale War between the above window Peak on the 19th-20th April 2026

Intensified Rahu Disturbance

10^th -14^th April, 24^th-27^th April =   9 days 

This period shows:

• Diplomatic exhaustion

• Escalation narratives

• Military exercises becoming operationally real

• Market panic waves

If any initial limited strike occurs, this is the phase when retaliation or secondary reaction becomes possible.

🔴  From 2nd April Till 12th May 2026

Watery Sign Cluster & Veda Influence

The cluster of planets in watery signs under malefic veda resembles:

“Putting ice into fire – or plunging a red-hot iron into water.”

This creates:

• Emotional overreaction at leadership level

• Maritime or naval dimension risks

• Proxy escalation through regional actors

• Intelligence failures

• War Escalation on the Sea Possible

This period remains highly combustible.

⚖ Likely Sequence Based on Planetary Logic

Astrologically, the pattern suggests:

1️⃣ Diplomatic failure
2️⃣ Limited or symbolic strike
3️⃣ Strategic pause
4️⃣ Threat of broader escalation

Full-scale regime change usually requires prolonged Saturn-Mars reinforcement — which may build later if triggers repeat.

 All the above parameters indicate the brawl between different Countries may take an ugly turn

US, Israel-Iran, Ukraine-Russia, Russia-NATO-EU Countries. China, North Korea and Russia may be involved in Proxy wars or Supplying Arms and Ammunition to Iran

💰 Financial Market Implications

As already highlighted in my previous research:

• Gold & Silver likely to spike sharply

• Crude oil volatility extreme

• Equity markets to face pressure

• Currency fluctuations intensify

Markets move before armies.

🧘 The Deeper Karmic Pattern

This is not merely geopolitical tension.

It is a karmic confrontation window:

• Rahu behaving like a serpent

• Mars activating aggression

• Saturn demanding structural reckoning

History shows that such combinations rarely pass quietly.

🏁 Final Outlook Till 12th May 2026

✔ Escalation rhetoric strong
✔ Tactical military action window open
✔ Markets highly sensitive
✔ Diplomacy fragile
⚠ Prolonged full invasion not immediate unless reinforced by later Saturn cycles

The coming weeks demand caution — from leaders, markets, and civilians alike.

The planetary tide is high.
