While the Colombian political landscape begins to stir prematurely in the face of the 2026 presidential elections, the projections not only come from traditional pollsters and analysts. Daniel Daza, the astrologer known for having anticipated the triumph of Gustavo Petro, has once again put his magnifying glass on the candidates for the House of Nariño, launching a forceful prediction about the political future of the former mayor of Medellín, Daniel Quintero.
A resounding “no” in the stars
Daza, who has gained media relevance for the precision of his previous political readings, recently analyzed the astrological charts of several public figures who are considered for the next electoral contest. However, his reading of Quintero was lapidary.
According to the astrologer, the leader of the Independents movement does not have the favor of the stars to become president in the next period.

“Daniel Quintero has already had his peak moment. Astrologically, his cycle to achieve national executive power is not aligned for 2026,” Daza suggested, indicating that the former Paisa president’s path would be full of insurmountable obstacles on this occasion.
The context of the prediction
To understand the weight of these statements in public opinion, we must remember two key factors:
The history of successes: Daza not only predicted the victory of the current president, but also health situations and political crises that have come to pass, which gives him a loyal audience that considers his analyzes beyond superstition.
The advanced campaign: Quintero has been one of the first to be active in networks and squares, trying to capitalize on the discontent or hope of alternative sectors. This forecast falls like a bucket of cold water in the middle of its early positioning strategy.
What does this mean for the race?
While astrology does not define votes, it does influence the media narrative. When people begin to talk about the “unviability” of a candidate, even from esoteric grounds, it can affect the perception of the “winner” that every politician needs to project.
Daza suggests that 2026 will be a year of new figures or the consolidation of leaderships different from those that are currently the protagonists of the most controversial headlines. For Quintero, the challenge now is not only to convince the electorate with proposals, but to fight against a perception – now reinforced by the stars – that his time for the presidency has not yet arrived, or perhaps, has already passed.
