Astrological forecast for 2025
Welcome to 2025, the Chinese Year of the Wooden Snake.
According to numerology, the year 2025 is connected to the universal number nine.
The cyclical number nine stands for completion, letting go and creating a new beginning.
A cycle of 9 ends with war and chaos and repeats itself every 36 years.
The year 2024 was the year of elections, the year 2025 is a transition year.
A year of transformation, clearing rubble and creating order.
The following year 2026 carries the number 1. The number 1 is the beginning of a next cycle of construction. Before peace comes, we still have a complicated year ahead of us….
The turbulent year 2025 can be roughly divided into two halves.
The first half of 2025 will be characterized by economic and geopolitical tensions, turmoil, upheaval, conflicts and crises.
The second half of 2025 shows a somewhat more stable course.
In the year 2025, there is a major astrological change of course from the elements Earth and Water (dissolution) to Fire and Air (renewal).
Saturn goes to Aries, Uranus goes to Gemini, Neptune to Aries and Pluto is already in Aquarius. No less than four major planetary shifts….!
The process of Dissolution, which has been going on since 2019, is gradually decreasing and will be replaced by Renewal from mid-August 2025.
All hope is pinned on the heavenly cooperation between Uranus in Gemini, Neptune in Aries and Pluto in Aquarius in 2026. A period of social shifts, technological progress, innovation and spiritual growth.
But first, let’s go back to 2025…..
On January 3, 2025, the Sun in Capricorn quincunx retrograde Jupiter in Gemini and retrograde Mars in Leo opposite Pluto in Aquarius is not a very good start to 2025….
This is an uncontrollable energy and means high tension in the world, a tension that will last until April 2025.
From January 12, 2025, the North Node shifts from Aries to the water sign of Pisces.
The North Node shifts back in the zodiac every 1.5 years and that gives us a collective chance to evolve. The karmic North Node is our cosmic direction indicator.
The North Node in Pisces asks for trust in a greater plan in these times of turbulence.
A sense of community and connectedness where water symbolizes the flowing power of collective interconnectedness.
In 2025 and the first half of 2026, ecological challenges such as water pollution, droughts, floods, water scarcity or insufficient access to clean water, will dominate the world view.
In the coming months, the Sun, Mars and Pluto will continue to challenge each other.
This is an indication that the explosive situation in the Middle East and the war in Ukraine are not over for the time being.
The challenging planetary aspects in the first half of 2025 will have a profound global impact, both collectively and individually.
All the tension of the last quarter of 2024 will therefore continue into the first months of 2025.
In the same period, military conflicts can reach a critical phase.
The total lunar eclipse in Virgo on March 14, 2025 and the partial solar eclipse at 9º in Aries on March 29, 2025 will have a major impact on the economic and political situations in the world.
Especially in the spring of 2025, the opposition of retrograde Mars in Cancer with Pluto in Aquarius and other planetary tensions may cause large-scale demonstrations, political unrest and religious conflicts in many regions, especially in England, the US and Europe.
From May 26, 2025 (for now until September 1, 2025), Saturn travels through Aries and that is a cosmic tug-of-war. Aries wants to continue, Saturn, the regulator, holds back. Saturn remains in Aries until April 13, 2028. With perseverance and self-discipline, a lot can be achieved.
Saturn conjunct Neptune in Aries is current from the end of May 2025 to the beginning of September 2025 and is exact again in February 2026, so from that moment on there will be a change in the world.
Saturn conjunct Neptune is a historical aspect such as in 1917-1918: the Russian Revolution, the USSR, 1953-1954: the death of Stalin, 1989-1990: the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of the Soviet Union, so once again, there can be a historical development in Russia that affects the world as a whole.
Economically, we can be faced with a large-scale global financial crisis and cybercrime in the first months of 2025.
In the global financial ecosystem, Bitcoin is the new gold.
Jupiter in Gemini square Saturn in Pisces in the first half of 2025 can be seen as a final showdown with the old system. However, outdated forms of governance and political and economic structures rarely surrender without a fight, leading to fierce confrontations worldwide.
Neptune will finally say goodbye to Pisces from March 31, 2025 and shift into Aries.
Neptune in Aries could be the cause of a major world event in late March or early April 2025.
Neptune in Aries (2025-2039) is an evolution of the collective consciousness, a spiritual awakening and a new era of technological and spiritual developments.
In addition to a huge boost for the pharmaceutical industry, there is also a large increase in the use of cannabis, magic mushrooms, DMT and other addictions, an increase in lung infections and difficult to diagnose neurological disorders, more cardiovascular diseases, migraines and strokes. An aging population has enormous implications for health care and pension plans.
Nevertheless, Neptune in Aries together with the North Node in Pisces can lead to a collective consciousness that change is inevitable.
April 2025 could be an explosive month with the Sun in Aries entering square Mars in Cancer opposing Pluto in Aquarius. In addition to war and violence, this T-Square and Saturn and Neptune in Aries could bring earthquakes, landslides, fires, mudslides, floods and extreme weather in places on Earth where you wouldn’t expect this to happen.
From May 14 to 18, 2025, Jupiter in Gemini offers significant potential for diplomatic breakthroughs in the Israel-Gaza conflict.
On June 15, 2025, the third and final tension square between Jupiter in Cancer and Saturn in Aries will occur, and on June 19, 2025, Jupiter in Cancer will square Neptune in Aries, potentially leading to major political unrest and inflation in Germany, Italy and France.
Saturn conjunct Neptune in Aries in June 2025 is a true reset button for the world.
However, the economic situation is expected to deteriorate significantly first.
Uranus leaves Taurus from July 7, 2025. Uranus in the very last degrees (araretic or critical degrees) of Taurus could be the cause of unrest on the financial markets.
The transit of Uranus in Gemini from July 8, 2025 until November 7, 2025 is the prelude to a long period in Gemini until 2032. Uranus in Gemini will break traditions and implement changes in the education system, communication, AI, technology, science and research. Uranus in Gemini brings the truth.
In mid-July 2025, Jupiter is at 7º in the Water sign of Cancer, Saturn at 1º in the Fire sign of Aries and Uranus at 0º in the Air sign of Gemini. July 2025 could be a crucial month for Russia and Ukraine, China and America. A split in the Republican Party could weaken Trump’s position.
After the turbulent summer of 2025, a gradual economic recovery is expected.
Peace negotiations could start in the second half of 2025 and continue until the first half of 2026.
Although changes do not happen overnight, the world is increasingly stabilizing and improving.
A politically divided America will lose its position on the international stage, which will make the East increasingly stronger. A weakened United States would mean that maintaining the world order will become increasingly challenging and offer opportunities for authoritarian powers such as China and Russia.
The second half of 2025 will be all about construction and progress, especially in the areas of agriculture, food production, mental and physical health and cancer research.
Organic food production will take off. Growing your own vegetables, bartering and the development of ecovillages and independent living communities with care for the elderly will take a prominent place in our society. Self-reliance will be the new word.
With the sextile between Uranus in Gemini and Neptune in Aries, a balance can be achieved between individuality and community from August to November 2025.
The exponential growth of AI, electric cars and robotics is accompanied by significant energy consumption, making hydrogen, solar and wind energy necessary.
Initiatives to combat plastic pollution, such as reuse, recycling and surcharges on plastic and disposable cups, are gaining ground worldwide.
Saturn in Aries sextile Uranus in Gemini and Pluto in Aquarius can relieve tension in the world on August 12, 2025.
Peace negotiations may take place in August 2025.
With Pluto in Aquarius and Uranus in Gemini, major changes are coming to the world stage, collectively and individually.
From August 21, 2025 to September 15, 2025, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto will be respectively at 1° in Gemini, Aries, and Aquarius, and that is hopeful for the world and may be the path to peace.
In the fall of 2025, a gradual recovery of the global economy is expected.
China will remain one of the world’s economic leaders.
India will undergo a restructuring in 2025. Over the next three years, India will make significant economic strides to become one of the world’s leading economies by 2030.
Uranus in Gemini trine Pluto in Aquarius in September 2025 may indicate a ceasefire or peace agreement, but only after the situation has reached a critical point.
Between 2025 and 2027, Uranus in Gemini, Neptune in Aries, and Pluto in Aquarius will form a hopeful and rare partnership and this sextile may be the salvation for all of us.
In late 2025 to 2026, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto will bring societal shifts with a focus on self-reliance, rural living and financial diversification. AI, technological development, community spirit, self-reliance and societal shifts will play a prominent role.
There will be a shift towards rural living, extra-urban local food, water and energy sources, own supplies, savings sources and own housing cooperatives with elderly care.
The transition to the Age of Aquarius means a significant shift in values and how individuals interact with each other. The motto of Aquarius is Freedom, Equality and Brotherhood for all of us.
It is an age that emphasizes the triumph of thoughts and spirit over material wealth.
The Age of Aquarius brings bold, direct, creative and joyful energy.
We are already witnessing turbulent developments, crises of civilization and revolutions in the economy and culture.
These changes can be challenging, but they are necessary for growth and development.
Developments such as artificial intelligence are manifestations of the Aquarian energy, representing innovation and a new way of thinking.
In the same way, breakthroughs in space exploration reflect our expanding horizons and quest for knowledge beyond our planet.
The further we grow into the Aquarian Age, the more people will prioritize spiritual development and the intrinsic value of each individual.
I wish all my loyal readers a safe, inspiring and above all healthy 2025!
