Forecast for Ukraine for October 2026

Ukraine's chart from the adoption of the Constitution: June 28, 1996, 09:18, Kyiv. All dates have a margin of error of +-2 days.

I will start with Mordor. Chart: June 12, 1990, 13:45, GMT+4, Moscow.

In this chart, transiting Saturn is in the same constellation as natal Mars, which restrains Mordor's power on the one hand. But transiting Mars and Jupiter are moving through its 11th house, where natal Ketu is located. This indicates an increase in military power on the one hand and protection from Jupiter on the other.

On October 17, transiting Mars will conjoin Mordor's natal Ketu in Cancer. This is a very strong indicator of an event connected with military force, collective action, weapons, allies, or the results of the war. Until mid-November, our enemy will look strong and dangerous. September and October are the very peak of aggression.

Around November 15, another very strong event will occur: transiting Mars will conjoin transiting Ketu near Jupiter in Leo, in Mordor's 12th house. After this, Mars will finally move into the 12th house, so the following two months should be weaker for the enemy. The 12th house is connected with losses, expenses, isolation, secret decisions, hospitals, and the destruction of already accumulated power.

For Poland, I chose the chart for the signing of the Constitution: July 16, 1997, 20:00, Warsaw.

In October, Mars and Jupiter move through Poland's 8th house, causing crises and military events. Poland's natal stellium is also located there. Therefore, Mordor's attempts to destabilize Poland currently look largely performative and do not cause it serious harm. But the 8th-house indication itself requires attention to crises, hidden threats, security, and military provocations.

A separate dangerous indication for Poland will appear around November 15. The conjunction of transiting Mars and Ketu in Leo will occur in its 9th house, where natal Rahu is located. Rahu can multiply and magnify an event. Mars in the 9th house can be read as a threat from abroad, a clash with something foreign and alien, or the transfer of a military conflict across a state border. This is already beginning to look like the possibility of a serious clash on Polish territory. I will now be monitoring Poland as well.

For Ukraine, October does not look like a month of relief. The pressure changes form but does not disappear: Saturn remains in Ukraine's 8th house, Mars moves through the 12th house for almost the entire month, and by the end of October Ketu is positioned almost exactly on the country's lagna.

Saturn continues its difficult work in the 8th house. After conjoining natal Ketu, it moves toward Ukraine's natal Saturn. The 8th house means losses, crises, death, destruction, closed-door decisions, investigations, debts, unpleasant truths, and managing the consequences. Saturn here does not bring quick relief, but it forces the state to deal with what had been left in disorder for years.

Ketu on Ukraine's lagna affects the country's body, society's well-being, and the sense of “us.” People become tired, irritable, and less tolerant of empty words. In a positive manifestation, Ketu brings sobriety, the ability to cut away what is unnecessary, and the ability to see what matters most. In a difficult one, it brings trauma, sudden resets, sharp public reactions, and a sense of losing one's footing.

Mars in Cancer moves through Ukraine's 12th house. This is a weak position for Mars, but a weak Mars does not mean an absence of attacks. It means that force acts crookedly: through nighttime attacks, long-range strikes, drones, missiles, overloaded systems, errors, brutality, and strikes without a clear military result.

The 12th house is connected with hospitals, prisoners, refugees, foreign aid, secret decisions, expenses, and the long shadow of war. Therefore, a significant share of October's military events may happen at night, covertly, or far from the front line.

Jupiter remains in Cancer, in Ukraine's 12th house. It continues to provide support, protection, allies, and international aid. But aid from the 12th house often proves costly or invisible: through expenses, closed-door agreements, treatment, evacuation, and decisions that the public learns about later.

Around October 8, Jupiter begins its transition. At the end of the month, it will enter Ukraine's lagna for the first time, but for now this is only a preliminary movement. I expect sustained improvement and Jupiter's full expression in the 1st house in the summer of 2027.

October 1-3: September's military trail

The beginning of October continues the military dynamics of late September. The Moon moves through Taurus and activates Ukraine's natal Mars, Venus, and Mercury in the 10th house.

The 10th house is connected with power, state decisions, the country's status, and the actions of its leadership. Major statements, personnel decisions, international negotiations, and events that force the authorities to react quickly are possible.

The military risk remains high. Prolonged nighttime attacks and strikes on infrastructure, logistics, and sites with both civilian and military significance are possible.

Around October 3, Venus turns retrograde. This may bring back old financial, diplomatic, and political issues. Decisions that were considered final may need to be reconsidered.

October 5-10: the first difficult wave

The Moon moves through Cancer, where transiting Mars and Jupiter are located, then through Leo with Ketu and Virgo with Ukraine's natal Rahu.

This is the month's first difficult wave. Mars activates the military theme of the 12th house, while Ketu and Rahu activate the axis of the country's body, society, losses, and confrontation.

Massive nighttime attacks, long waves of drones, missile strikes, and pressure on the energy sector, transportation, and major cities are likely. Because Jupiter is close to Mars, the scale of events may increase, but protection and the ability to reduce the consequences remain at the same time.

During this period, the Sun activates Ukraine's natal Rahu. Major political statements, information conflicts, attempts to pressure society, and events that initially look larger than they prove to be after verification are possible.

Around October 8, Jupiter enters a transition. International support does not disappear, but it may temporarily become less clear: decisions are made, yet their consequences do not appear immediately.

October 14-18: territory, power, and transportation

The Moon moves through Scorpio, activating Ukraine's 4th house. The 4th house is connected with territory, land, housing, cities, internal security, and the condition of people inside the country.

Strikes on urban infrastructure, residential areas, the energy sector, or facilities that support everyday life are possible. Emotional pressure on society increases.

The Sun enters a transition and around October 17 moves into Libra, into Ukraine's 3rd house. This is a weak position for the Sun. The 3rd house is connected with transportation, communications, information, local logistics, neighbors, and short-distance movement.

Disruptions to communications or transportation, information conflicts, pressure on regional authorities, and attempts to disrupt internal coordination are likely.

At the same time, transiting Mars conjoins Mordor's natal Ketu. Therefore, October 17 is above all a powerful date in the enemy's chart. The event may manifest through military activity, a show of force, the deployment of new means of attack, or an attempt to achieve a high-profile result.

October 21-25: the main crisis point

This is the most difficult period of October.

First, the Moon moves through Aquarius and activates transiting Rahu. It then moves into Pisces, into Ukraine's 8th house, where transiting Saturn and natal Ketu are located.

At the same time, the Sun draws closer to retrograde Venus, while Mercury approaches its turn. Around October 24, it turns retrograde.

This combination brings errors, delays, the recurrence of old problems, malfunctions, confusion in communications, and difficulty making quick decisions. Against the military backdrop, this increases the risk of successive attacks, repeat strikes, and overloaded systems.

October 24 and 25 look the most tense. Major attacks, grim news, destruction, accidents, and problems with the energy sector, transportation, or civilian infrastructure are possible.

This period requires particular attention to repeated air-raid alerts. The danger may not end after the first strike.

October 28-31: the month's major turning point

The Moon again moves through Taurus and activates Ukraine's natal Mars, Venus, and Mercury in the 10th house. Themes of power, international decisions, military strategy, and state governance return.

Ketu is positioned almost exactly on Ukraine's lagna, with Rahu opposite it. This intensifies instability, public fatigue, and the likelihood of sudden political or information events.

The weak Sun adds problems for the leadership and state institutions. Personnel decisions, major conflicts, public accusations, or the need to explain unpleasant events are possible.

At the same time, Jupiter moves into Ukraine's lagna for the first time. This is not yet a sustained improvement, but it is the first sign that the difficult cycle is gradually approaching a turn. Help and protection begin to become more visible, although the final improvement will come much later.

The military risk remains high at the end of the month. Strikes on major cities, the energy sector, transportation hubs, and government facilities are possible.

Forecasted Dates Of Mass Attacks In October 2026

For all dates, the tolerance is +-2 days. This is not an air-raid calendar, but astrological windows of increased risk.

Conclusion

October continues the difficult autumn phase. Mars in the 12th house does not remove the war but shifts it into a covert, nighttime, long-range, and costly format. Saturn in the 8th house maintains pressure through crises, losses, and the need to manage the consequences. Ketu on the lagna intensifies public fatigue and intolerance of empty words.

The period from October 21-25 looks the most difficult. Another powerful wave is possible from October 5-10. The end of the month brings the first signs of a future turn thanks to Jupiter's transition into the lagna, but it is still too early to consider this full-fledged relief.

For Mordor, the peak of power and aggression continues until mid-November. For Poland, October activates the crisis-ridden 8th house, while a separate dangerous configuration arises in the 9th house around November 15.

Everything will be Ukraine.
