Athos Salome, the Brazilian mystic widely known as the ‘Living Nostradamus’, has released a striking list of 10 major predictions for 2026, warning of a period defined by intensifying geopolitical conflict, significant economic shifts, and unprecedented natural and technological disruptions.
The 38-year-old parapsychologist claims to have a track record of accurately forecasting events, including the death of Queen Elizabeth II and the Covid-19 pandemic. Salome’s 10 forecasts offer a glimpse into the major events he believes will shape the coming year.

1. Arctic Conflict: Russia vs NATO
Salome’s primary geopolitical concern is Russia’s Arctic ambitions. He warns that despite its war focus, the Kremlin is moving advanced missile systems to strategic Arctic bases. As the ice melts, new shipping lanes and energy reserves will become accessible, dramatically increasing the likelihood of direct confrontations with NATO over territory and resources in 2026.
2. Sahel Instability and Proxy Wars
Northern Niger and the wider Sahel region are predicted to become a critical hotspot. Salome forecasts that the rapid rise of extremist groups will lead to indirect clashes between global powers vying to maintain influence following the withdrawal of Western troops.

3. BRICS+ and the Fall of the Dollar
A decisive move is anticipated from the BRICS+ bloc. Salomé claims Saudi Arabia has proposed restructuring the group’s financial guidelines to enable trade and transactions specifically outside the US dollar, accelerating the global shift away from the greenback.
4. Iran-Israel Tensions Escalate
Tensions in the Middle East are expected to reach a critical threshold. Salome warns that Iran’s uranium enrichment and Israel’s potential military preparations could ignite a new and profound period of regional instability, specifically around the second quarter of 2026.

5. Russia’s Massive Reservist Mobilisation
A decree is expected in Russia allowing the mobilisation of up to 800,000 reservists by March 2026. Salome interprets this as a signal of a far more assertive strategic approach, focusing intensely on national cybersecurity and air defence that extends beyond standard military administration.
8. Japan Faces Chip Shortages
Japan is expected to face significant economic challenges due to dwindling semiconductor reserves. Salome forecasts that industrial production will experience a significant decline, leading to challenges for key sectors in the second quarter of the year.
6. US Bolsters Red Sea Presence
Salome predicts that the United States will significantly increase its military presence near the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, a vital maritime route. This is forecast as a direct response to the activities of Iranian-backed militias, marking a renewed and intense geopolitical focus on controlling the strategic choke point.
7. Economic Crisis in Poland
Financial instability will be a major global theme. Salomé warns that Poland is particularly vulnerable and could face a significant financial crisis due to high deficits, potential worker strikes, and ongoing discussions with the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
8. Japan Faces Chip Shortages
Japan is expected to face significant economic challenges due to dwindling semiconductor reserves. Salome forecasts that industrial production will experience a significant decline, leading to challenges for key sectors in the second quarter of the year.
9. Solar Storm Threat and H5N1 Health Crisis
Salome highlights two concurrent natural and health threats:
A major solar storm (coronal mass ejections) is predicted to strike between 12 and 15 March 2026, which could lead to widespread power outages and damage vulnerable electrical systems globally.
He warns that global monitoring of the H5N1 virus must be strengthened, especially as the EU moves to authorise a modified mRNA vaccine amid rising bird flu outbreaks.
10. Digital Currency and Space Anomalies
The final set of predictions focuses on technology and the unknown:
The European Central Bank (ECB) is expected to begin testing a digital euro with automated transaction limits.
The US will release quantum software capable of real-time submarine monitoring.
Tension is predicted between India and Starlink over satellite internet services.
A mysterious object will appear near Jupiter’s orbit, which the European Space Agency (ESA) allegedly removed from its official records due to detected anomalies.
Salome’s 10 predictions collectively suggest that 2026 will be a pivotal year, marked by deep divisions, economic restructuring, and a collision between natural threats and the advancement of technology.
