March 20, 2025 – International Astrology Day
Dear friends,
As we celebrate International Astrology Day on March 20th—the day of the spring equinox, when the Sun enters Aries and a new cosmic cycle begins—I invite you to reflect on the forces shaping our world in 2025. This moment, widely celebrated as Navruz across the Middle East and Central Asia, is far more than a simple festival. It’s a profound tradition, stretching back thousands of years, rooted in the stars and marking the renewal of life as the seasons turn. Here we are, living in an age of dazzling technology and bold visions of the future, yet this ancient practice still whispers to us. I know many wonder how astrology fits into our high-tech, scientific age.
Consider this: despite advances in physics and cosmology, we still don’t fully grasp what our universe is made of. The Standard Model of Particle Physics, General Relativity, and String Theory offer different explanations, yet none provides a complete answer. Vast portions of the universe—known as dark matter and dark energy—remain largely unexplained. Much of it remains a mystery.
I don’t claim to outshine scientists, but after more than 30 years as a professional astrologer, I’ve seen how celestial alignments reveal what science still seeks to understand. Let’s test this with my forecast for 2025, published in Complete Horoscope 2025. Now, in mid-March, many early predictions are unfolding. Here’s what’s happening—and what’s ahead.
The Stars of Early 2025
I noted that the first half of 2025—especially January through March—would test us. Jupiter in Gemini, clashing with Saturn, has triggered a battle between old systems and new possibilities. Retrograde Mars (December 6, 2024, to February 24, 2025) has fueled unrest, and March’s eclipse corridor has amplified it all.
Global markets are reeling: the NASDAQ plunged 13.5% over two weeks—this is one of the fastest declines of such magnitude in the last 10-20 years, excluding extreme single-day crashes—while Bitcoin fell 20%. In Germany, a bold new fiscal plan triggered a historic bond sell-off—the worst since the 1990 reunification—affecting fixed-income markets across the Eurozone. These shocks align with my prediction of a “significant worsening” of the financial situation.
Geopolitics reflects this too. In the U.S., Donald Trump’s return—foretold in my 2024 forecast—has deepened divides and strained ties with Canada and Europe over tariffs. Meanwhile, China’s economy grows, its stocks rising as its influence expands, just as I anticipated.
Crisis in Conflict Zones
In Ukraine, President Volodymyr Zelensky faces his toughest moment. I wrote:
“The period from December 2024 to February 2025 will be particularly critical for him. His fate remains uncertain, but he may be forced to flee due to mounting accusations from within Ukraine and international sponsors.”
Now, in March 2025, this prediction is unfolding with striking clarity. The pressure on Zelensky has reached unprecedented levels, driven by three cosmic currents I foresaw. First, the United States—under Donald Trump’s leadership—has turned up the heat. His February 2025 demands, including a push for Ukraine to cede control of its mineral resources in a deal with Russia, have left Zelensky cornered. Second, the Eurozone’s support has faltered, fractured by division among EU nations and a lack of funds to sustain Ukraine’s fight. Third, and most telling, the formal division of Ukraine has begun. Trump’s insistence on a resource deal signals the start of this split—a process I also predicted when I noted that Ukraine could be carved into spheres of influence by 2025. Inside the country, exhaustion and dissent only deepen the crisis. These forces—U.S. pressure, a divided and underfunded Europe, and Ukraine’s division—confirm the stars’ warning of a critical turning point.
In the Middle East, the collapse of Bashar al-Assad’s regime has plunged Syria into chaos. Reports of escalating violence confirm my forecast that early 2025 would see worsening tensions in geopolitical hotspots. Even the skies seem to reflect this instability—an alarming rise in plane crashes over the past two months serves as a somber reminder of this turbulent period.
The Eclipse Corridor
March 2025 marks a powerful eclipse season, magnifying every challenge. From markets to conflicts, this cosmic spotlight shows we’re at a turning point. But eclipses don’t just bring chaos—they pave the way for renewal.
A Brighter Horizon
Here’s the good news, friends: this won’t last. In Complete Horoscope 2025, I promised the second half of the year would bring stability and growth—and I’d love for you to explore the full forecast with me. As Jupiter eases its tension with Saturn by mid-2025, economies will recover—slowly but surely. Conflicts will calm, and industries like agriculture, especially dairy, will thrive. Technology will leap forward too.
For you, it’s a time of balance—perfect for love, family, and new beginnings like weddings or homes. The stars will reward these early trials with hope.
Trusting the Stars
These events—markets, conflicts, even plane crashes—aren’t random; they’re the universe speaking, as I saw in 2025’s alignments. The mechanism behind astrology remains a mystery, yet it’s worked for thousands of years and still does today. Understanding celestial cycles helps us navigate life’s challenges and opportunities.
Here’s a curious note: preparing my forecast for Trump’s presidency (Donald Trump’s Presidency: An Astrological Perspective), I noticed his geopolitical ambitions. You may recall how, during his first term, he floated the idea of acquiring Greenland—an idea that sounded far-fetched, even laughable at the time. But it didn’t stop there. Now, in 2025, during his second term, he’s brought it up again, stirring fresh speculation. The stars suggest his ambitions may not be over. I’d say some form of association between Greenland and the U.S. could emerge in the coming years, perhaps during this term of Trump’s. Time—and the stars—will tell.
On this International Astrology Day, let’s honor the stars’ timeless wisdom—not because I claim some extraordinary gift, but because astrology, in the hands of those who truly listen, reveals so much. While many study the heavens, few unlock their secrets as this ancient practice does, exploring the quality of time, offering hope, and guiding us through life’s storms with a light that never fades. Curious to test it? Ask today’s AI tools to check these events against my forecasts—you might be surprised how the sky aligns with reality. Don’t shy away from looking beyond modern science; sometimes, the answers are written above.
