2025 Forecast
In the last two weeks, I covered the changes that will take place as Neptune and Uranus shift into new signs this year in this 2025 Forecast.
There’s a lot to unpack over the next few months. Jupiter and Saturn are also changing signs, signaling shifts in energies, interests, and topics. While it’s impossible to cover every cycle in one article, I’ll touch on key themes as the year unfolds.
Currently, Mars retrograde in Cancer is also out-of-bounds. Review a previous Mars out of bounds period and compare it to the current period. Mars rules fire, protests, drive, and enthusiasm. When out of bounds, its energy feels amplified, like an exclamation point. The retrograde slows things down, improving after mid-February when Mars turns direct. Its out-of-bounds status ends in mid-April. Expect news on Los Angeles wildfires and emerging details to dominate headlines.
We’re also approaching a significant astrological event: the Saturn-Neptune conjunction from June 8 to August 23. The last time this occurred was in 1989, coinciding with major transformations like the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of the Soviet Bloc. Saturn brings structure, while Neptune inspires dreams, compassion, and the big picture. Together, they ask us to “dream big, but make it real.”
Key Themes of the Saturn-Neptune Conjunction
Building Dreams, Tearing Down Walls: This energy supports tackling challenges like climate change and social justice by grounding lofty ideals in practical action.
Out with the Old: Outdated systems, governments, and ideologies may crumble, creating space for better, more inclusive structures.
A Spiritual Awakening: Many may feel drawn to unity, mindfulness, and healing practices, fostering collective growth.
Facing Illusions: Neptune can blur reality, but Saturn pushes for truth. This may reveal flaws in beliefs, leaders, or systems we once trusted.
Compassionate Action: Expect reforms in areas like poverty, mental health, and environmental issues, blending practical solutions with care.
Environmental Awareness: The late 1980s saw a rise in global awareness of issues like climate change and ozone depletion. Neptune’s connection to water and the environment, combined with Saturn’s focus on responsibility, prompted international discussions about sustainability.
This conjunction happens on the zero Aries axis, often signaling global shifts. Countries may collaborate more, with organizations like NATO and the UN playing key roles.
Lastly, Saturn’s grounding influence may stabilize areas disrupted by inflation during Jupiter’s 2022 conjunction with Neptune. Expect shifts in public assistance, boating, marine life, ocean conservation, gun laws, and environmental policies. This is a powerful time for turning visionary ideas into concrete change.
