On June 12, Israel launched an attack on Iran. Both countries are ruled by radical regimes—Iran by an Islamist regime, and Israel by a Zionist one. Despite not sharing a common border, the hostility between them runs deep.

Looking solely at date-based numerology, Iran’s regime was established under the number 3 (12 Farvardin 1358: 12th day of the month, Life Path 21), while Israel was established under the number 5 (May 14, 1948: 14th day of the month, Life Path 32). Over time, significant tensions can build between the energies of numbers 3 and 5.

What does June 12, 2025, represent for Israel—and for Iran? According to the basic method I use for this kind of analysis, the numbers—at least at first glance—appear to favor Israel in the short term. In the long run, however, Israel holds only a slight advantage. Much depends on other astrological and numerological techniques, as well as on the decisions both Israel and Iran make: how determined are they to prolong the war?

The key numbers aligned with Israel are 13, 14, and 18. Numbers 13 and 18 govern war, while 14 is favorable only in the short term. Sepharial describes these numbers as follows:

• XIII (13): Ambitions and hopes deceived; destruction; undoing, new beginnings; death; fatality.
• XIV (14): Danger to the position through lack of initiative and decision; danger through the force of the elements; sexuality.
• XVIII (18): Crosses in love; false sense of security; unprofitable associations with women; hidden perils; treacheries; deceptions.

Cheiro adds to the interpretation of 18:

• It generally associates a person with bitter quarrels, even family ones, also with war, social upheavals, revolutions.

Israel is supported in its cycles by some favorable numbers associated with power and rulership. However, the number 14 is not conducive to long-term undertakings. This raises an important question: how will this war unfold? Will Iran quickly retreat—or will it, with the backing of Russia, China, and possibly others, fiercely resist what it sees as crimes committed by the Zionist regime?

Iran is mainly influenced by the numbers 12, 13 and 18. Sepharial defines them as follows:

• XII (12): Reversal of position; culpability; chastisement; loss of honour; danger of violent death; either enforced or voluntary; dangers from women; catastrophe.
• XIII (13): Ambitions and hopes deceived; destruction; undoing, new beginnings; death; fatality.
• XVIII (18): Crosses in love; false sense of security; unprofitable associations with women; hidden perils; treacheries; deceptions.

The number 13 likely indicating widespread death and deeply negative energy. Strong combinations involving the number 3 point to a militant nature, creating a recipe for serious trouble. Iran’s support for the Palestinians reflects the influence of the number 12. Iran has already sacrificed part of its wealth and prosperity in this cause, which, if done sincerely, could turn 12 into a more favorable influence.

If that’s the case, Israel’s short-term advantage disappears. The numbers point to a large-scale military catastrophe, and both the Israeli and Iranian sides are marked by unpredictability. The main issue is the prominence of the number 13 on both sides. When reduced, 13 becomes 4—a number associated with the Sun, but also with Uranus, and thus with aviation and missiles. Unfortunately, as a Uranian number, 4 is also linked to radioactivity and nuclear weapons.

Given that the conflict began with Israel striking Iran’s nuclear facilities and targeting nuclear scientists, we cannot rule out the possibility of a limited nuclear war. The number 13 is highly active on the Israeli side as well (It might be wise for Israelis to read that sentence again carefully!). According to some sources, Iran already has nuclear weapons or is close to acquiring them. Other nuclear powers could also become involved. This is clearly a situation spiraling out of control—one that a reckless Israel no longer truly governs.

Now is a crucial moment for the U.S. President to demonstrate leadership—to rein in Netanyahu, who stands accused of serious war crimes, and to convince both Iran and Israel that peace is the best possible path forward in 2025, a year of war.

By the way: my earlier prediction about 2025 being the Year of Mars now appears to have underestimated the timing. What I expected in the second half of the year is mostly already happening in the first. What, then, can we expect in the latter half, when numerological influences become truly unfavorable?

This is a time for prayer and contemplation.
