Astrologers Predict Turbulent Times Ahead for Israel, With Potential for Regional Shifts

As the Jewish year 5787 approaches, Israeli magazine La'Isha has consulted numerologists and astrologers for predictions regarding the nation's future. The forecasts suggest a period of continued challenges, particularly concerning security and the economy, extending into early 2027. However, there are also indications of potential shifts in regional alliances and a strengthening of Israel's defense capabilities.

According to medium Tomer Makori, the coming year will not see a complete end to the current conflicts, but potential "windows" for military escalation exist between October and November 2026. He anticipates a difficult period from January to May 2027, with risks of escalation against Iran and Hezbollah, alongside ongoing conflict in Gaza and tensions in Judea and Samaria. Numerologist Ofira Aviram, referencing Israel's founding date, sees an energy of stabilization and strengthening, moving from survival to construction, with a focus on defending national interests.

Economically, forecasts indicate continued difficulties until spring 2027, with a potential recovery starting in the summer if hostilities subside. High-tech, innovation, cybersecurity, and defense technologies are expected to remain key growth drivers, though cost of living and social inequality will persist. In foreign relations, astrologer Maya Peretz suggests a profound transformation, potentially involving new agreements and a move away from stagnant situations, possibly manifesting in Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, and with Iran. Makori predicts complex external relations until spring 2027, with ongoing challenges in relations with Arab nations and some European states, though security and economic ties with the UAE, Bahrain, and Morocco are likely to continue. Relations with Jordan and Egypt are expected to remain tense, while progress with Saudi Arabia is anticipated but a normalization agreement is unlikely.

Concerns about internal division are high, with predictions of intensified societal rifts over issues like elections, the ongoing war, and the judicial system. While a literal civil war is not foreseen, the risk of internal violence and a sense of "two states" within Israel is present. The predictions also touch upon the Iranian nuclear threat, with the possibility of the Ayatollah regime falling by April 2028, which could lead to more effective control over Iran's nuclear program. The forecasts also offer personal predictions for Israeli political figures, including Benjamin Netanyahu, Gadi Eisenkot, Naftali Bennett, Itamar Ben-Gvir, Bezalel Smotrich, and Yair Golan, as well as Donald Trump.
