Brazilian mystic Athos Salomé earned the 'Living Nostradamus' nickname for successfully forecasting numerous major world events, including Queen Elizabeth II's passing and the COVID-19 outbreak.
He earned his title from similarities he shared with renowned 16th-century French astrologer Nostradamus, who famously published his predictions through poetry. Speaking to Tyla, the psychic shared a series of global forecasts he believes will shake up 2026.
According to Chatham House, Russian expansion in the Arctic is 'increasingly becoming a key security challenge for Europe'.
"The most recent interceptions indicate that Russia is moving missile systems to strategic areas in the Arctic," Salomé predicted. "This increases the likelihood of direct confrontations with NATO during the ice melt in 2026."

Meanwhile, the psychic added that Russia may 'call up approximately 800,000 reservists by March 2026' to provide a 'more assertive approach to cybersecurity and air defence.'
"In 2026, I anticipate a more decisive BRICS+ bloc. A leak of diplomatic information suggests that Saudi Arabia is proposing a restructuring of the group's guidelines, seeking to conduct transactions outside the dollar - a move that could significantly impact emerging markets," Salomé explained.
BRICS stands for Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, though the alliance has grown to include other nations working towards economic, political, and social collaboration.
Following the Iran-Israel war in June this year, the self-proclaimed prophet predicts another crisis next year: "With Iran progressing in its uranium enrichment process and Israel preparing for possible military intervention, I warn that the Middle East region could experience a new period of tension in the second quarter of 2026."
"With semiconductor reserves dwindling, I anticipate that Japan will suffer reductions in industrial production and face difficulties in key sectors in the second quarter," Salomé cautioned.
In March 2026, Earth is set to see 'coronal mass ejections' heading our way. "The possibility of large-scale power outages is real, especially in more susceptible electrical systems, but nothing concrete," he warned.
After recent bird flu outbreaks, the prophet warns that 'global monitoring needs to be strengthened, especially considering that the EU is rushing to authorise a modified mRNA vaccine'.
The list continues with fires expected to hit the southwestern United States, along with widespread blackouts across Asia.
Salomé said: "Climate simulations indicate a high risk of early fires in the southwestern United States, while Pakistan is dealing with an energy crisis caused by the rapid melting of glaciers."
Salomé also highlighted 'a warning from Europol that points to vulnerabilities that have been exploited by hackers associated with Russia'.
"A large-scale attack between February and April 2026 could disrupt banking settlement operations across Europe", he explained. "This is not a statement of dates, but rather plans."
Salomé predicted that in 2026, the European Central Bank (ECB) will 'begin testing the digital Euro with millions of users,' marking the 'beginning of a new phase of digital monitoring.'
Another international rivalry the seer anticipates involves India and Starlink - SpaceX's satellite internet service.
Salomé said: "New Delhi plans to halt Starlink's unapproved activities. This action could intensify a global rivalry for dominance in satellite connectivity."
To cap it all off, 2026 is set to involve a 'mysterious object in space' though details are vague due to the 'relevance of astronomical data to safety in space activities.'
