SOTN Editor’s Note: For those who belittle even the most accurate Vedic astrologers, the following analysis was emailed to SOTN on Sunday, December 28, 2025 at 9:37 AM (see screenshot below) just before this unparalleled period of January madness and mayhem began.
What follows are Vedic astrologer Joni Patry’s sobering predictions for January 2026.
Early January: Escalating and Extreme Events
Emailed by GalacticCenter.org
The first two weeks of January will experience one event after another, with the most extreme event occurring between January 6 and 10.
On January 9, a rare and potent planetary aspect occurs that will affect individuals worldwide. Mars, Venus, and the Sun will all be exactly conjunct at 25 degrees Sagittarius.
What makes this so rare is that Jupiter will also be at 25 degrees Gemini, exactly opposite the Sun, Mars, and Venus. This is a complex configuration that has positive connotations but may also indicate something difficult.
I believe the events will be shocking due to the concentration of planetary energy impacting key zodiacal placements.
The Sun, being exact with Venus and Mars, sparks an event, as this is a Cazimi—meaning the Sun, Mars, and Venus unite as one. In the days that follow, Mars and Venus are in planetary war and combust the Sun. Combustion destroys a planet’s ability to operate effectively.
As Jupiter aspects exactly, it can create something positive. Mars is the planet of war, and Venus is peace, so this configuration may concern radical events involving war and peace. This is hard to decipher since the energies involved are opposite in meaning.
Shocking Developments and Earth Changes
On January 20, Saturn and Uranus will be in exact aspect. Saturn’s third aspect is 100% in power, indicating sudden changes that shake and awaken the world. This aspect remains in effect through February and signals devastating, unexpected events, including earthquakes.
Looking at the solar eclipse that occurs on February 17 in Aquarius, I noticed the path is around Antarctica, where the eclipse is most clearly seen on Earth.
Eclipses usually highlight areas that will be greatly impacted. The closest landmass that may be affected is New Zealand, signaling earthquakes there as well as at the South Pole. This may also signify major problems this year due to the possible melting of the ice in that region.

The following video provides an in-depth presentation of the preceding data points along with several other highly consequential predictions for January and beyond.
What’s the essential point being conveyed by these earth-shaking predictions?
Just as 2020 began with a bang variously known as OPERATION COVID-19, Covid Plandemic and The Great Scamdemic, 2026 began with another HUGE bang under the very same POTUS.
Truly, what the warmongering Team Trump has unleashed thus far around the globe during just the first week of the year has all the makings of a full-scale kinetic nuclear World War III. That does not take into consideration all the other global catastrophes caused by Trump’s trade wars and tariff regimes, economic warfare and financial terrorism, unlawful sanctions and theft of natural resources, threats of landmass takeover and sabotage of trading relationships, etc.
This same astrologer has previously pointed out that Donald J. Trump was born on Friday, June 14, 1946—the day of a Total Lunar Eclipse making it a highly inauspicious Blood Moon. This also means that The Donald was born under the sign of Gemini. Unevolved Geminis are universally known for being impulsive and two-faced, unstable and unpredictable, coldly fierce and reckless.
“In its shadow, Gemini can be emotionally disconnected, selfish, full of nervous energy, an eternal child, shallow, coldly calculating, controlled by the many critical voices that live in their heads and unable to stay focused on the things that truly matter to them.”
Welcome to the current occupant of the Oval Office, the most powerful position on planet Earth.
But wait, it gets worse—MUCH WORSE—especially for President Trump!!! The following predictions are offered by Vedic astrologer Acharya Dr. R.A. Sharma as stated here.
Predicted Timeline of Trump’s Future
- Trump will either resign or be removed from office by March 2026 due to the Guru–Shukra–Shani Mahadasha and Antardasha, as these planets are highly inimical. If not, then his term will surely end between October 30, 2026, and March 31, 2027.
- J.D. Vance will serve as the interim President of the United States. His Scorpio ascendant and Virgo moon chart show strong indications of power, with exalted Ketu, Rahu, and Saturn in favorable positions. The Jupiter–Venus–Shani period from October 27, 2025, to March 30, 2026, marks the timeline for Trump’s downfall.
- Trump will not receive the Nobel Prize. His horoscope contains Kapat Yoga (deception), showing continued untrustworthiness, with Saturn (6th lord) in the 12th house along with enemy Venus and afflicted by malefic aspects.
- Based on planetary movements, America may face a major economic depression and possibly civil unrest leading to fragmentation by 2030.
Final Prediction
Trump’s Maha Purusha Yoga may have been fortunate for him personally, but it has been disastrous for the United States.
The solar eclipse of September 21, 2025, was extremely dangerous for Trump’s Leo ascendant. He is moving from the peak of power toward downfall, simultaneously destabilizing the global economy and peace.
America, though a superpower, will continue to face major troubles during Trump’s time in office. His horoscope shows a precipitous downfall, widespread public opposition, and many unfinished goals. The country itself will go through losses and instability during this phase.
According to Vedic astrology, Donald Trump’s second term will not be smooth. Both he and the United States will experience formidable financial, political, and social challenges.
