An Indian astrologer is making headlines for predicting World War 3. Kushal Kumar, an astrologer from Panchkula in Haryana, wrote in a Medium post that “Tuesday, 18 June 2024 has the strongest planetary stimulus to trigger WW3 although 10 and 29 June may have a say as well.” He reportedly based these predictions on Vedic astrology.
While the first two dates (June 10 and 18) have passed, Kumar recently published another post that mentions “predictive alerts” that are somehow related to the start of World War 3. He has added that June 29 might also be doomsday.
Published on June 13, the astrologer mentions the “terrorist attack on pilgrims in Jammu and Kashmir’s Reasi that killed nine people.” He then references the escalation of conflict between North and South Korea and growing tensions between China and Taiwan.
“It may be observed here that predictive alert for better care and appropriate strategy involves careful and serious interpretation of planetary impacts while unintended human error or slip cannot be ruled out entirely,” he concluded.
Kumar, who has 71 followers, has described himself on Medium saying, “I usually write predictions about nations.” Last month, many publications dubbed Kumar as the “New Nostradamus,” after the French astrologer Nostradamus, who is best known for writing a book of “prophecies” called Les Propheties. Interestingly, astrologers making doomsday or World War 3 predictions are not new. Over the decades, many hoaxes about the end of the earth or the start of apocalyptic world wars have emerged.
