April 2025 Astrological Forecast
BE PREPARED GLOBALLY
A new world order is now beginning to exhibit multiple changes of directions, which will reshape the global political and economic spheres for many years in the future. With the recent Lunar and Solar eclipses in March, which usually influence the initial commencement of important world administrative matters over a period of three months ahead, including sudden important world events, geopolitical change, international trade, financial trepidations, governmental disruption, major headline news, and weather variations. These eclipses are also the key that usually opens the cosmic door that transforms important constitutional matters. From April to November 2025, be prepared; it is crunch time for investors, as small profits and large financial losses will occur, especially with global markets, currencies, superannuation funds, commodity investments, savings plans, including cryptocurrencies. Do not be hoodwinked by exaggerated political and media hype of good fortune just around the corner to ease the financial pain. However, gold, silver, bonds, copper, uranium, military tech stocks, AI, stevedores, ship building, real estate, property investments and rare earth minerals are worth watching. There will be a steady escalation in these areas during the next fourteen years, immaterial of the present global economic conditions, US funding cuts, and tariff wars.
Viewing the New York Stock Exchange horoscope for April, expect a massive shake-up from April 1 to July 7, 2025. Avoid impulsive sell-offs, because Uranus (change) will enter the zodiac sign of Gemini (change) from July 7 to November 7, 2025, bringing continuous intentional international trade and financial surprises that will eventually turn stock markets around, and save investors from loss of future fortunes. During this July-November cycle, watch money markets, bonds, commodities, global communications, transport, aviation, technology, AI, energy, oil, biotech, and precious metals.
The most important cycle directly ahead for the global economy will be from May 26 to November 7, 2025; exceptional care may be necessary with all investment transactions during this cycle. Do not panic if the world encounters a small recession or slowdown due to US debt (interest) payments for the US liability of US$36 trillion. A quantity of investors will be disappointed with their investment holdings for the next three months of 2025. However, from November 10, 2025 to April 27, 2026, specific relief will be noticeable, and stock market trading will show moderate gains during this cycle, as Uranus (sudden transformation) re-enters Taurus (money, investment) for a brief period until April 27, 2026. Bank interest rates may also show positive signs during this cycle.
TRUMP-RUSSIA-UKRAINE
With the US going crazy with tariffs and causing global uncertainty, President Trump (Gemini) is determined to cut the US deficit of US$36 trillion, to eventually improve the US living standard, increase local production and strengthen US export trade. However, viewing Trump’s horoscope, he is presently under a severe Uranus transit (extraordinary and unexpected events) clashing with his natal Mars (action, opposition). This is a challenging and difficult time for Trump until April 27, 2026. There is no doubt, astrologically speaking, that there will be huge financial and investment suffering globally through tariff wars, funding cuts, and geopolitical disarray, until May 1, 2026. Trump (Gemini) will also be under severe pressure to secure peace between Ukraine and Russia, which shows astrological promise during April-May-June 2025, when Venus (peace) links with President Putin’s (Libra) natal Moon and Sun on his horoscope. An agreement will be reached between Russia, the US and Ukraine, that will also set their economies into a new positive beginning between June 9, 2025 to July 1, 2026. During this cycle, with initial planning, agreement, reconstruction, and transformation of Russia and Ukraine, President Putin will adhere to a peace arrangement (providing it is in Putin’s favour) as he does not wish to lose face with the Russian population.
Watch around the dates of May 1 through to June 7, 2025: Putin will demand the lifting of certain conditions, and Russian sanctions, which Trump will eventually agree to. The agreement and recommencement of Russian and Ukraine international trade and energy distribution will move forward once Jupiter (fortunate agreements) enters the zodiac sign of Cancer (home affairs) and Leo (individuality) from June 9, 2025 – July 26, 2027. Putin will be full of change and deliberation during August 18 - September 21, 2025; this could be a period that Trump (Gemini) and Putin (Libra) come to some hard bargaining over sovereignty and trade matters. All astrological aspects on Putin’s horoscope indicate he does prefer some form of peace arrangement with Ukraine, rather than war, but on his terms. Putin’s personal finances and Russia’s reserves will encounter major readjustments during July 7- November 8, 2025, and again during April 27, 2026 – November 18, 2027. This should please the Russian oligarchs and general Russian population with a confirmation of a way forward for future global financial negotiations and international trade.
Unfortunately, The Israel-Palestine situation is in complete chaos according to Israel’s horoscope. A mass of adverse planetary aspects will continue to disrupt the Israel-Arab situation until mid-2026 before any form of major peacemaking agreements become a reality. Trump’s dream (Neptune - illusion) of Gaza becoming a holiday resort is purely in his imagination. According to Israel’s horoscope, complete peace between Arabs and Jews is years away, as there is no real compromise with either party indicated in 2025. The biggest problem Israel and Palestine face before peace can be achieved is solving the displacement of refugees and a future financial rebuilding plan for Gaza. Who is going to pay, will be the question.
GENERAL TRENDS AHEAD
Stand by from April 7 onward, as planet Mercury (communications, trade, contracts, deals) commences a forward motion in the confidential zodiac sign of Pisces (peace talks, banking, financial reconstruction) then switches, from the 16th, into the military, engineering, and manufacturing trade sign of Aries until May 10. It is during this cycle that Mercury (news) will meet up with Neptune, planet of deception and questionable matters, influencing peace talks and division over sovereign lands, outlandish tariff rates, global inflation, expensive energy, higher cost of living, unemployment, demonstrations, and disapproval from the global public. Astrologically, a minor global recession period or economic slowdown could result between July 7 and November 8, 2025, when Uranus (change) transits Gemini (international trade, communications, cost of living).
With general elections in the making around the globe, including Australia, it is no use for constituents to blame current governments for the higher cost of living, energy hikes, and high interest rates; unfortunately, the whole world will experience major financial complexities. Voting in a change of government in various countries will do nothing to solve this lengthy period of global reconstruction and transformation. With a complex series of critical planetary aspects occurring from April to December 2025, during this period expect an extremely harsh cycle for corporations, companies, and small business, especially those involved in the export and import. The commencement of the biggest global financial assortment and reconstruction period the world has ever seen is now in progress, this critical transit of Jupiter (commerce), Saturn (conservative), Uranus (reform), Neptune (idealism) and Pluto (impelling) will influence this decade ahead and change the way people earn, save, and spend their money. Do not fear these international financial and geopolitical change. They will prove to be progressive and beneficial to all. However, patience will be required, as 2025 is the transformation year, making way for a new beginnings cycle commencing in 2026.
The good news is, with an international upsurge of overseas investors flowing into New Zealand and Australia throughout 2025-2026, US tariffs will not be a major problem for these two countries, especially from June 9, 2025, onward, as fortunate Jupiter will influence greater trade opportunities with China and Asian countries, including the EU and bypassing the US to some degree. Investors and businesses should NOT hit the panic button and make impulsive financial changes; remember from November 2025 onward, and especially throughout 2026, the global economy will be on the move upward, as 2026 is a new beginning, problem solving year, with opportunities for success and expansion, to capitalise on 2025 losses. Tariffs will not be a permanent fixture with world trade once the Trump government lowers and controls US debt.
NEPTUNE – PLUTO ON THE MARCH
Neptune, planet of illusion and questionable activities, is also the planet that rules “C” words, such as Chaos, Cheats, Corruption, Clandestine, Collusion, Confidential, Confidence Tricks, Cartels, Confusion, Conspiracy, Cataleptic, Communism, Camouflaged Cash Deals and Crypto Currencies. For the first time since February 14, 1862, Neptune will spend the next 14 years in transit through the zodiac sign of Aries (military hardware, wars, infrastructure, manufacturing, engineering, construction, ship building). Materialistic governments and corrupt officials, cartels, and greedy speculative investors will be involved with side-winding deals, underhanded perversion and bribery, while the average struggling worker continues to grapple with job security to make their personal and household budget ends meet. Unfortunately, the world is becoming a growing nightmare with cartels, organised crime, corruption, racketeers, drug trafficking, frauds, home invasion, youth crime, child molesting, trafficking, pornography, political mob violence, and demonstrations. With Uranus (extremist) soon to enter Gemini (independence, first time for eighty-four years), people will lose patience with government promises to solve these crises by challenging or disobeying the legal system and taking matters into their own hands, to protect themselves and their families. These impulsive actions will make it extremely difficult for lawmakers, authorities, police, and the judiciary to keep control, as increased numbers of people endeavour to defend their rights at court appearances, pleading self-defence. With Neptune in transit through Aries (head, brain), think before you act is the solution, to avoid embarrassment or serious trouble.
Overall, the global population may not realise, at present, just how much the world is pugnaciously changing. Pluto, planet of breaking down and rebuilding, will shock future global governments and the public at large, as new governments, policies, laws, trends, banking, restrictions, and geopolitical conditions and events tear down the present way of life, and introduce a completely new way of living by January 20, 2044. The globe will also continue to experience major weather and climate changes that are all part of the evolution of cosmic time, so do not panic about global warming, it has all happened before over the past 5.4 billion years and will continue for thousands of years in the future, as the spinning earth continues a series of revolving tilts attracting various changes from the Sun’s energy. The earth is presently spinning at a 23.5 degrees tilt, creating unfamiliar seasonal climatic weather conditions and changes that the global population will learn to live and work with. With Pluto (Uranium) now in transit through Aquarius (technology, nuclear) until January 19, 2044, many cities around the globe will be building and using nuclear power modules and stations, hence cleaner energy and cheaper electricity.
With the planet Saturn (restriction) also about to transit through the zodiac sign of Aries for the first time since 1996, during 2025-2028, the world may witness a major rearmament program for countries and recruiting drive for individuals to join service-type industries and defence forces. This cycle may also witness governmental debate over increased military expenditure and military conscription in those countries not presently involved with regular military scheduling. These events will be a topic of conversation and continued examination, especially during 2029-2031, due to global unrest. With the two arch enemy planets, Jupiter (international law) and Saturn (restriction), opposing each other, and Pluto (war) also in the mix, do not be at all surprised to observe the commencement of a massive global financial catastrophe and world conflict during the 2029-2031 cycle. This planetary combination astrologically suggests a critical period for global equilibrium and world peace, otherwise face the consequences. Fortunately, there are no planetary activities over the next two years that would kick-start a world war. Tensions, yes – mainly economical, and geopolitical.
CHINA
From April 2025, China will feel the economic trade strain, due to US tariffs, in its already fragile economy. According to China’s horoscope, Uranus (socialism) will clash with China’s natal Moon (communism, people), Mars (production), Venus (revenue) and Jupiter (development), all adversely positioned, creating a slowdown with CCP military projects, until June 29, 2026. Neptune (shipping), from April, will transit Aries (military) for a fourteen-year period building continuous growth in the CCP-Army-Navy-Airforce. During this next two years, although the CCP military budget will be tight, expect to witness full steam ahead with two new aircraft carriers and several new nuclear submarines for the CCP Navy. During April 19 to June 9, 2025, with Mars (aggression) through the zodiac sign of Leo (show), await China’s advanced series of intelligence gathering, drills and exercises around the South China Sea, Taiwan Straits, and international waters throughout Asia and the South Pacific. No immediate problems or threats for the world will be noticeable, this will intentionally be an exercise to answer the US and affiliated countries, that China’s CCP objects to be dictated to and held to ransom. Fortunately, many of the mainland Chinese population will want more freedom, Uranus (change) cojoining China’s Moon (population), especially the younger generation, who will have mixed feelings regarding the CCP’s actions and threats against socialist countries. Fortunately, whilst China hysterically parades the flag and troops on the ready, including intended coerced incidents by CCP forces on the seas and air, for propaganda purposes, there is no astrological indication of immediate war between East and West over the next two years.
PRESIDENT XI JINPING
April will be a critical month of economic change, regeneration, and transformation for President Xi (Gemini). Tariff changes by the US are beyond China’s control; this will make it difficult for Xi and the CCP to carry out proposed plans for expansion due to a tight China economy, low local industry cash flow, and a continuously unstable real estate market. President Xi will be concerned about European investment in China and the astrological indication on his horoscope shows Xi Jinping will be organizing important meetings with overseas dignitaries, plus travel. However, with Jupiter (rule of law) crossing President Xi’s natal Sun during the April-June cycle, expect to witness some fast countermeasures by China regarding tariffs, investment loans, international banking, energy, electric motor vehicles, advanced AI and robots, machinery, trade spare parts, consumer goods, overseas student education, sporting events, tourism, and China’s close relationship with Russia.
April and May, astrologically, are surprisingly positive months for Xi Jinping. As Jupiter (achievement) connects with his natal Saturn (conservative) and Neptune (visionary) he will show outstanding leadership and greater empathy with US, France, Germany, European Union, and Great Britain, regardless of tariff wars and global insecurity. Do not be at all surprised when Xi Jinping (Gemini) and Trump (Gemini) meet during April-May, the discussions will be direct, understanding, positive, and compromising for both parties. Trump will be surprised with what Xi Jinping’s strategies will be concerning China’s future trade direction for the US and the world. Astrologically, President Xi Jinping’s horoscope shows no signs of warmongering, quite on the contrary, peace and tranquillity will be his priority, and he will be pro-peace for Russia-Ukraine. As Xi Jinping astrologically commences his new fortunate astrological Jupiter twelve-year cycle from May 8, 2025, his decisions and actions for the remainder of 2025 will be quite surprising for world leaders, as well as the CCP. President Xi Jinping will play a major future role in the new world order that is presently taking shape globally, especially during July 1, 2026 – July 26, 2027, when Jupiter (expansion) forms a positive relationship with his natal Moon (security) and Pluto (transformation). What about Taiwan, people may ask? The world will be surprised with the new thought and action Xi Jinping will display over the next two years regarding Taiwan, without any sign of World War Three on the minds of global politicians and military.
APRIL OVERALL
With transiting Saturn (building) and Uranus (change), both planets in a positive aspect, be confident, for this is a month of balance between the old and the new. People will have more confidence this month to try new methods, accept challenges, or change jobs, positions, or residence. Stability will be important to most during April, and opportunities will be available for those who wish to make major changes in their destiny. April is a positive month to contact professionals who can assist or encourage you, with your plans. Although major global financial matters are presently uncertain in the world, April is an advantageous month for contracts, agreements, and constructive new beginnings. Watch for opportunities during 16th -21st; this could be a profitable time to do a deal, with Mercury (communications, contacts) connecting with Mars (action). The New Moon in the financial sign of Taurus, April 27, at 7:32 pm UTC will be beneficial for those seeking financial assistance through banks and lending institutions during April 28th – May 2, 2025. Markets may also show a few trading benefits during these dates. April is also a positive month for self-discovery, travel, making a statement, gaining recognition, improving your appearance, taking personal calculated risks, seeking new adventures, confronting anything that needs confirmation, improving health, or alleviating pressure through self-assertion. The only negative aspect for April: Mercury (identity) is in Pisces (confidentiality) so be aware of identity theft. Keep confidential matters safe.
