Uchchaihshravas is a seven-headed divine horse and the king of all horses which appeared during the churning of the milk ocean. He is the vahana of both of the Heavenly King, the mighty Indra, and the King of Demons (Asuras)

One cannot reach perfection if one does not find fulfilment in the very heart. However, the joy of the heart always lies beyond the realm of materialistic desires and wishes. — Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam

* * *

In the dynamic, passionate, and bellicose year of 2026, events will unfold rapidly, as the disposition of the seven-headed Steed is characterised by impulsiveness, impetuosity, and ideological conviction.

Smoke erupts from the nostrils of Uchchaihshravas avatars, and blazing dust flees from underneath their hooves. The Flamed Steed, having intensified ambitions and rivalries, ignites ideological confrontation, the fervours of trade, and even conflagrations of war.

We’ll stand as witnesses to military or state-led coups, as political turbulence reaches its boiling point in the second half of the year.

Nevertheless, the year’s flames will spur on activists and innovators, travellers and adventurers, trailblazers and pioneers, inventors and spiritual seekers. Its audacious momentum will spread to creative minds and gift opportunities to the ‘knights of fortune’ – those seeking recognition in foreign lands and new fields. The Uchchaihshravas brings cardinal change; it demands unequivocal faith in destiny. As you encounter new opportunities, leap into the unknown, if you wish to seize them. Above all, 2026 redirects thoughts and vectors of follow-through, unlocks horizons and infuses stagnant scenes with dynamism – it shapes the course history. It brings you a sharp thirst in growth or mission, but pointing your idle hooves remains your responsibility.

Uchchaihshravas hurries us to pack up, as the year ahead is packed with travels, trips, and journeys. Novel ideas will visit, but a barrage of information, innovation, stress and stimulation will overwhelm. Heightening vehemence and libido, the year’s pulse may plunge you into an abyss of passion.

The tempo of change and reform, of ambition and decision, of ideation and innovation is radical, rapid, reaching – not only in terms of ideology and (far-left) politics, but also in terms of music, literature, and art.

This tremble, since July 2026, grows louder still, and its fire, as it catches events and processes, is inextinguishable.

The motto of the Year is “Progress or Victory by any means – now or never!’’

The Chintamani on Uchchaihshravas’ back are precious seeds of spiritual growth and unprecedented evolution for humanity. However, the lion's share of its young shoots risks being trampled by competing chariots or incinerated by wildfires of conflict.

The demonic forces (thirsting for power, profit, and gratification of insatiable ego) will, more than ever before, sow chaos and discord, and usher in the world’s destruction, in its totality or in its part.

They are opposed by grassroots forces, who will express their discontent with the politics of the ruling and wealthy elites spontaneously and, sometimes, violently.

The main participants in the horserace of 2026-2028 are:

• China, who, according to its ancient prophecies, is receiving two "punishments": Considering its revolutionary history (such as Mao Zedong's 1966 Cultural Revolution in the Year of Fire Horse), it may have a challenging time yet again;

• The United States, who is experiencing the transit of Uranus – which inevitably involved it in military conflicts, subsequent transformations, and reformations (the War of Independence, the Civil War between the North and the South, the Normandy landings);

• Latin America, Africa, Spain and Portugal, as well as Greenland, who are all in the line of sight of a series of major eclipses;

• Russia, entering a new epoch (which will last up until 2071) under the leadership of warlike Mars and chthonic Pluto, for whom 2026 will be a time of irreversible changes and, perhaps, even an amazing transformation: Revealing the “shadows” of the past and former regalia on a new turn.

In the second half of the Year, with the emergence of Uchchaihshravas’ main avatars – the “Chariot of Surya” in July-August and “Kalki” in October-November – rulers and military leaders can find the ground they stand on literally bursting into flames: They risk losing control upon confrontation with powerful adversarial movements, pressure from left-wing radicals and other extremists groups, health problems and burnout, or even any other catastrophic event! In an unbridled manifestation, the Year 2026 boasts the banner of political upheaval, financial turbulence, and natural disaster.

In August 2026, a series of powerful solar eclipses unfolds over Spain and Portugal, affecting all Spanish and Portuguese-speaking countries in Latin America as well.

The eclipses from 2026 to 2028 will concern both of the Americas – though South America will be hit hardest; northwestern Africa (Morocco, Algeria, Benin, Togo, Ghana, Nigeria, and Cameroon), and all countries along its northern periphery; the Suez Canal and both coasts of the Red Sea; as well as the Strait of Gibraltar.

• The path of the total solar eclipse on 12th August 2026 will pass through northernmost Russia (particularly, the Taimyr Peninsula), Alaska, Canada, Greenland, Iceland, and the Iberian Peninsula, affecting Great Britain, France, and north-western Italy (including Sardinia), before ending up in Morocco and Algeria.

• The lunar eclipse on 27th–28th August 2026 will be visible in the Americas, Africa, and western Eurasia as far as the Aral Sea. It will be the most visible in Latin America: Brazil, Bolivia, Colombia, and Peru.

• The annular solar eclipse on sixth of February, 2027 will cover South America (especially Argentina) and West Africa – primarily Cameroon, Nigeria, Benin, Togo and Ghana.

On April 26th, Uranus finally ingresses into Gemini – its friendship with Neptune and Pluto becomes the leitmotif of 2026-2033, transfiguring civilization, and ushering in a transition to digital economies under the watchful eye of AI. Supporters form alliances, creating new poles of power, coordination centers, and organizations.

At best, we witness a technological breakthrough and a transition to “green energy’’ (in the electric-power and space industries at first, in the AI and medical spheres later); at worst, we witness a furious struggle for the few remaining resources of the earth that, according to some of the competing parties, would ostensibly ensure this ‘’green transition’’.

Many activists, who disagree with the new world order and the devastating resource consumption of AI technologies, revolt; and previous forms of government sink into oblivion – some peacefully, some radically. In some places (with the help of new technologies such as electronic voting) societies move towards autonomous, anarchic forms of self-governance.

The alliance of these farthest planets, which began in 2025, will encourage resettlement and labour migration, though with a chance of leading to devastation due to military conflicts in 2026-2028 and impetuous climatic and ecological changes in 2030-2034.

During the transit of Uranus in 2026-2028, a battle may anticipate the USA, similar to the Civil War of 1861-1865 (which served to 1. Resolve the deep contradictions between the advanced industrial North and the backward, slave-owning South – which sold cotton to the British Empire; 2. To establish its own, ‘Pan-American” empire). The forthcoming struggle is rooted in US interests in South America and in Greenland; in growing a national empire to a trans-continental one; in necromancing industrialisation, reviving production chains within its territories.

A different option cannot be ruled out, whereby the government and security forces, while demonstrating an obvious decline in democratic values and the rise of pro-fascist ideology, provoke unrest and crisis within the United States itself, leading to its split and subsequent transformation.

In any case, the USA’s intention to become even “greater” and to expand its territory can lead to outcomes that it itself doesn’t expect!

The coming of Uchchaihshravas’ main avatars is expected in February, April, July, October and November. July and August are fruitful months, while March and November are rather cumbersome.

The year of Uchchaihshravas contains a mighty Flame – its uncontrollable energy symbolises the corporate interest that underpins for-profit ecological destruction. This flame has the power to cripple forests, melt ice domains and ''heat'' freshwater reserves, while making them the subject of desire and territorial disputes.

In 2026, there is a high risk of arsons, ignitions, powerful explosions, nuclear testing and strategic strikes, damage to transmission infrastructure, aviation accidents (especially mountain or volcano related plane crashes), and shipwrecks.

Among the climatic and ecological threats are draughts, fires, powerful solar flares, eruptions, earthquakes (and the tsunami that follow), avalanches, landslides (especially in mines), typhoons, cyclones, blizzard sand snow squalls, and sharply abnormal weather conditions from excessive heat to extreme cold. There is also a risk of natural resource over-consumption by AI infrastructure, causing irreparable damage to forests, freshwater bodies, and rivers. An excess of Flame could lead to floods and acceleration ice cap melting. During the Year of Horse, it is crucial to preserve woods and support wildlife, particularly tigers, dogs and artiodactyls (such as goats and sheep).

Places and Countries: all centers and central regions 2026-2028: China as a center of Tianxia Empire; the central regions of Africa (and its northwestward protrusion); the heart of the Middle East and Latin America; the center between Latin America and the United States; and the center of Russia. Looking at the North Pole from above, it’s obvious that Greenland is a key center (!) between northernmost USA and Canada, and northern Russia, and the central trade straits.

The events of 2026 unfold in palaces, throne-rooms, and private chambers of sovereigns, representatives of the elite and celebrities; as well as in the public eye. Risky places: Scenes of recreational entertainment and active engagement – amusement parks, casinos, bars, gambling establishments, cruise liners, trade centers, shopping malls, as well as mountainous regions and ice-covered territories.

A word of advice: The pace of events does leave room for extended consideration but, without at least some preliminary thought, your plans will fail – they need, at minimum, financial security and a safety net.

Parting wisdom: The true wisdom grows in a sincere heart; spiritual growth is nurtured through love without ego – for a God, a neighbour, or oneself. Don’t be led astray by outbidding and winning at any cost!

Health: Spare you heart from anxiety, and nerves from wreckage, and head from blows, and muscles from fatigue, and body from overheating. Anchor yourself in a state of calm joy, in mental and inner silence.

Notable events, typical for the Years of Fire Horse: The infamous Donner Party expedition; various explosions, mine collapses, and landslides (such as Aberfan disaster in South Wales, United Kingdom); the eruption of Vesuvius and earthquakes (such as San Francisco earthquake). Other events include: American-Mexican War, in which the USA stole more than half of Mexico’s territory (one-third of its current size); the beginning of Mao Zedong’s Cultural Revolution, initiated mainly to deal with his political opponents; the wave of peasant revolts and their suppression with the help of military courts in Russia in 1906.

The Main Avatars of the Year 2026

It is symbolic that the Year of the Fiery Horse begins on February 17th with a solar eclipse, and that the festive fortnight culminates in a Lunar Eclipse on second to third of March, which strengthens the year’s unpredictable and fateful nature. 2026 is pivotal because three of the heaviest and most distant planets – Saturn, Uranus and Neptune – finally change signs.

The period from January 26th, 2026 to May 21st, 2038, during which Neptune will transit Aries, marks new ideals and a new economic era. Meanwhile, its conjunction with Saturn on February 14th will usher in the first Digitalization Horse of 2026-2028.

• An annular solar eclipse on February 17th will be visible in Antarctica, southern South America, and Africa, including Madagascar.

• A total Lunar eclipse on second and third of March projects onto the Pacific Ocean and all coastal areas: Chukotka and Kamchatka; the Chukchi Sea and the Bering Strait; Alaska and Japan; the Yukon and Northwest Territories of Canada; the US states of Washington, Oregon, and California; eastern Australia, Papua New Guinea; and all of New Zealand.

Avatar “Digitalization Horse and Ideological Frenzy of 2026-2028” with the best of intentions, will gallop for a while (2026-2028) to ‘’raise” and reshape humanity. However, a chip is soldered into its bridle: This stallion is a harbinger of a new digital identity, a digital ID card that integrates all information about the individual (previously impossible without the coordination of several agencies), electronic money, and increased dependence on technology and AI.

However, a chip is soldered into its bridle: This stallion is a harbinger of a new digital identity – a digital ID card that increases dependence on technology and AI, manages electronic finances, and synthesis all there is to be known about a person into a comprehensive, surveyed, controlled profile (previously impossible without multi-agency coordination). With full top-down control over all private and personal information, scammers and fraudsters will perfect their schemes in response – as a result, an implanted chip will be offered as a strong defence measure. This Avatar is capable of striking disillusionment and unrest, of tracking down dissidents and activists, of bringing about draconian laws of land, real estate, and migration.

Avatar “Pegasus”. March will be a month of political manoeuvring, sixth generation informational and guerilla warfare; breached treaties and agreements; data leaks and cybercrimes; and clashes involving illegal immigrants and illegal business (drug cartels). This Avatar brings about abnormal weather and natural calamities such as fires, floods, and hurricanes – harmful decisions made behind the scenes shape this environment.

Avatar Destrier is a knight's horse clad in armour. April and the first half of May are bellicose and aggressive while the decision-making, reformative, and innovative pace is rapid and ill-considered.

Surya’s Chariot, main driving force, along with the four leading Avatars of Uchchaihshravas, rushes forth with Jupiter’s ingress into the sign of Lion at the end of June. It brings key dynamics to the power-struggle, when one or several of the challengers shoot ahead. Quadriga (four-in-hand) signifies the dawn of a major campaign and its forward momentum; the formation of new alliances with ambitious supporters and the resulting territorial acquisition; the struggle of elites, trade wars, and even the technological breakthroughs. The frontmost mighty horses – the main passionaries of the Year – threaten to sweep away those who find themselves on their path. The Chariot may bring about the dissemination of an ideological doctrine associated with greatness, superiority, domination but, if the opposition and left-wing radicals join in, the clatter of its hooves threatens riots, protests, and political chaos.

The phantom Trojan Horse of the American national debt, from September to mid-November, is linked to global fiscal obligations, stock market declines (overt or covert depreciation of base currencies), and high-profile lawsuits. Late 2026 on-wards, the US might begin a transformation of its economic system, introducing economic turbulence into a world that has become accustomed to a stable dollar and the reliability of US debt securities.

The Avatar of Kalki (November 2026 – May 2027), while possessing the ambitions of all great conquerors, claims to the “throne”, and conviction to sacrificing morality in the name of a great idea, carries a mission of invading and destroying of the worlds; its arrival signifies the fall of Tsar dynasties, clans, and entire empires. It is capable of trampling down political rivals, competitors, and prominent figures in science, culture, and art. In its frenzy Kalki sows chaos and devastation through natural disasters and wars. It collapses previously uncontested military companies and ruling regimes. It’s true mission is to deliver retribution and karmic lessons to all of society – which is why the insatiable and unrighteous ones can be stopped. In its highest manifestation, Kalki represents spiritual guidance and the arrival of a leader – albeit an Asura with spiritual principals, although not through peaceful means.

Conclusion: It is unlikely that the Year 2026 will end calmly and peacefully for, from November 2026 till May 2027, we’re ambushed a retrograde, war-like Mars bight, resembling both the beginnings of a protracted struggle or campaign, and its unexpected (due to the intervention of higher powers and unforeseen, extraordinary events) outcomes.
