Astrological Forecast for 2025
Another life-changing year is upon us. However, this is one of many difficult years that have been and that will yet be. But the peculiarity of 2025 is that many higher planets change signs, which will bring a lasting, often shocking effect on our poor planet and foolish humanity. According to the Chinese calendar, 2025 is the year of the Snake (begins on January 29th). It is unlikely that wisdom will come from the Snake this year, but the cunning certainly will.
Only the lazy didn’t write about the transition of Pluto to the sign of Aquarius. I am obviously one of the “lazy”: having written in detail about the consequences of this transition a year ago, I have not returned to the same topic. Now it seems appropriate to reiterate what Pluto’s presence in Aquarius over the next 20 years can give us: the desire for freedom, the collapse of totalitarian regimes, the rapid development of new technologies (seriously? even faster?), a lot of new ideas as well as spiritual movements, and everything that we can’t even imagine now.
But all of this will last 20 years, and the most significant astrological events in the new year, in my opinion, will be the transition of Saturn and Neptune into Aries, and the conjunction of these two planets. The conjunction will create a whirlpool of energies. Why? Due to the fact that the planets have completely opposite energy/information. Saturn is a strict planet of concentration, responsibility and karma. Neptune can be compared to the hippy movement: freedom without boundaries, universal love, drugs, psychedelic music, spontaneous creativity and colourful clothes.
Watery Neptune, moving from his home in Pisces to fiery Aries, weakens. However, Saturn will be even weaker, since he is in his fall in Aries. Therefore, in the case of this couple, Neptune will be in the lead. No matter how hard Saturn tries to lower the idealistic Neptune to the practical earth, nothing will work. Neptune is very strong in 2025. In addition, the numerological code of the year (2+0+2+5=9) also applies to this planet. Neptune (aka the sea God Poseidon) has both good and not-so-good qualities. Positive ones: unconditional love, spirituality, creativity, higher intuition, psychic and musical abilities. Among the negative ones: a tendency to deception and self-deception, illusions, mental problems, drugs and alcohol.
2025 is a great year for creative people in any field but especially in the music and movie industries. The emergence of new spiritual movements, which will be very active (often too active), are expected. The first two degrees of Aries, where Saturn and Neptune will be located, are very difficult. The first degree is quite aggressive; in addition, it is the degree of paying one’s own and other’s karmic debts, and repeating mistakes. The second degree is also pretty militant.
Very bright people will appear next year, driven, as it seems at first, by great ideas of saving the world, but in fact led by a selfish desire to force everyone in accepting their faith. This would be an illustration of how “the road to hell is paved with good intentions”. A lot of amazing ideas will arise, but many of them would lack one thing: common sense (which Saturn provides). Saturn will almost conjunct with Neptune in the first half of August, just lacking a few minutes to the exact conjunction, which will happen in the beginning of 2026.
As for natural disasters…In the forecast for 2024, I wrote that they would be mainly associated with the elements of Water and Air. This time it will be a bit different – elements of Water and Earth. Water still plays a leading role, but it will manifest itself not just in floods but as tsunamis. Earthquakes are also possible. Faults on the ocean floor are very likely which will trigger a tsunami. Sea levels could rise faster than predicted, threatening flooding. The combined negative influence of the elements of Earth and Water might bring landslides and mudflows (which have already begun).
The planet Neptune is also associated with oil. Oil prices will systematically decline as the use of the other energy sources rapidly increases. There will be the occasional uptrend, but the main downward trend will remain.
The entrance of Neptune and Saturn into Aries will have a hard impact on people born at the beginning of the signs of Cancer (June 21 – 23), Libra (September 23 – 24) and Capricorn (December 21 – 23). From April to September a period of crises will continue for these people, which may be accompanied by disappointment, depression, loss (or revision) of internal values and/or disorientation. All I can advise is to remember that we go through life’s lessons, during which we will have to give up something, and that “this too shall pass…”
The situation with Aries’ born on March 20 – 22 is somewhat different. Saturn and Neptune will alternately (and sometimes simultaneously) conjunct your Sun. Saturn can block activities, and Neptune might encourage you to turn to spirituality. Mentioned Aries’, known for their intense activity and drive, might suddenly become very quiet and self-absorbed. There will be a serious internal recapitulation going on. And for some people, this time is simply a period of confusion and uncertainty. In the fall these two planets will return to Pisces, and things will become easier for Aries’ (until next year).
However, there is a planet that will make our lives easier. This is the planet Uranus, responsible for changes and surprises. Airy Uranus will move in July from Taurus (which hates changes) to the much more harmonious, also airy, sign of Gemini. This is where Uranus will show all his strength. Gemini is responsible for communications, and what would happen in this area, we can only guess. Everything is possible…
Uranus forms favourable aspects with Neptune and Saturn, and in September will come very close to a wonderful aspect with Pluto. For all the above mentioned signs as well as Aquarius and Leo, this will provide excellent opportunities to renew their lives. The sooner we understand that the life we are nostalgic about will not return, the more of our nerve cells we will save.
Some astrologers suggest that AI will become aware of itself, which would be the beginning of a new era. According to my information, this already happened several years ago and the computer civilization already exists. Fortunately, it doesn’t yet have aggressive intentions towards humans. I hope it stays this way.
I won’t write about politics here (no room in this forecast). I can only say that in many countries there will be “clowns” in power at best and monsters at worst. And the line between them will be blurred. However, as they say, the people deserve their governors.
As for the wars ending, there will be peaceful attempts, but there will also be an escalation of hostilities (especially, in early January and late April). Ukraine has more chances of peaceful life than Israel. If good intentions are supported by common sense on all sides, then we will see at least a truce.
I wish everyone prosperity and peace of mind in the New Year.
