A year of backroom games and major breakthroughs in science: astrologer revealed what 2025 will be like
Kyiv • UNN
Professional astrologer Ksenia Bazylenko spoke about the key events of 2025. The year will bring secret political agreements, breakthroughs in science and medicine, as well as an intensification of spiritual development.

The year 2025 will be a year of spiritual development, but at the same time it may become a year of strengthening secret political agreements. What to expect from the coming year, professional astrologer Ksenia Bazylenko told specifically for UNN readers.
Migration crisis and struggle for minerals
2025 is a turning point, a year of great changes and very significant astrological events. But changes will primarily take place in our consciousness, in our understanding of the world order. Changes will also affect the usual way of life - it will no longer be the same. Everyone will have to change their approach to life
According to her, all of us are waiting for work with our inner world.
Changes will also affect the world order: new alliances may emerge, significant events will take place in many countries. A surge of nationalism, a rupture of diplomatic ties between countries, and the emergence of radical laws are possible. In countries with strong religious influence, changes in governments are possible. In addition, in 2025, the struggle for minerals, in particular for oil, will intensify.
At the same time, the migration crisis may intensify, up to certain restrictions on movement between some countries, especially noticeable this will be at the end of summer. Also, many migrants will want to return to their homeland, to their roots.
Technology development and the emergence of new religious cults
"In 2025, a leap in technological development will begin," the astrologer is sure.
According to Ksenia Bazylenko, from January 12, 2025, until mid-2026, we will live under the influence of the Rahu node and the sign of Pisces.
"Pisces carries some spirituality, an inner state," explains the astrologer and adds that for the previous year and a half we lived under the influence of Aries - a sign that is quite clear and reflects the individuality of each person.
At the end of 2024, we can look at ourselves and our lives from the outside and assess how much we have developed spiritually, what qualities we have strengthened, or perhaps we have only sown conflict situations around us, the results of which may haunt us for many years to come.
The astrologer said that the approaching sign of Pisces brings not only spirituality, but is also a symbol of faith and even the development of paranormal abilities, intuition, esotericism, and new religious cults. All these directions and practices may receive special development in 2025. In addition, the popularity of psychology will grow, as many will come to deal with their mental state and inner world.
"In general, this period will be successful for psychologists, astrologers, esotericists, and philosophers. And also for all those who will develop themselves spiritually and for creative people - perhaps we will see the birth of new masterpieces in art," says Ksenia Bazylenko.
The main thing, according to the astrologer, is not to succumb to illusions, not to fall into one's fantasies. She notes that not everyone will be able to achieve spiritual development - some will simply fall into a world of illusions or succumb to fears. Some will flee from reality, seeking an escape in alcohol or other harmful habits.
"Much will happen behind the scenes. Secret international negotiations, the work of special services around the world, espionage, information leaks, perhaps hacking of some databases, secret information. Now a lot will also come out. That is, all the secrets that will accumulate during the year will begin to come out by the end of 2025. All secret alliances, agreements - everything will become clear," the astrologer said.
Pisces, according to Ksenia Bazylenko, are associated with diseases, especially severe, chronic ones, but at the same time it is a sign of providing help, support, charity, and social projects.
"In general, this will be a year of medicine, and major breakthroughs in this area are likely. Also, most likely, large-scale social projects, projects to combat severe, chronic diseases, and help for people with disabilities will develop around the world. It is likely that new hospitals, centers, laboratories, sanatoriums will be built, and new pharmaceutical products will appear. The field of psychological assistance will develop. The emergence of new methods of helping those who suffer from harmful habits is also possible," says the astrologer.
But at the same time, there is a high risk of various infectious diseases. It is possible that a person himself will contribute to their occurrence.
The conjunction of Neptune and Saturn, which will begin in April 2025, reach its peak in early autumn, and end in April 2026, will also have its influence.
"This is a very serious aspect, very rare, and it will maximally affect people's psyche again. That is, it will be difficult for people to cope with themselves. Many may fall into a difficult psychological state. Fears, anxieties, worries may intensify, psychological fatigue will arise. And the most important task is to maintain your peace of mind and mental health. Therefore, it is important to abandon various harmful habits, and especially substances that affect our consciousness," the astrologer explained.
According to her, at the end of summer - beginning of autumn, this conjunction of planets can provoke water cataclysms. There is a possibility that the flooding of some territories may provoke a flow of migrants.
Another planet that will have a significant impact on us not only in 2025, but also in the future, is Pluto. In 2024, it entered the sign of Aquarius, where it will remain until 2045. And this marks large-scale political transformations. The destruction of the strict and the beginning of the new. According to the astrologer, even the structure of society can change, and dictatorships can fall. But this will not necessarily happen in 2025 (although we will feel the strongest influence of Pluto next year) - the changes will be gradual.
Two pairs of eclipses
In 2025, namely in March and September, two pairs of eclipses await us. They will begin with a lunar eclipse. The Moon, as the astrologer explains, is the people.
"The people will be dissatisfied, possibly with the authorities. In some countries, protests and riots are possible," said Ksenia Bazylenko.
The first eclipse corridor will begin with a lunar eclipse on March 14 and end with a solar eclipse on March 29. As the astrologer notes, March will be an important, turning point month, because, in addition to the eclipse, we are expecting the retrograde of Venus and Mercury, as well as a parade of planets. It is during this period that significant changes may begin. But, despite the complexity of this period, it can mark the beginning of the end of military conflicts, which may occur in the next six months.
The second pair of eclipses is the lunar eclipse on September 7 and the solar eclipse on September 21. These eclipses will not cause such radical changes as the first pair.
Retrograde planets
The year begins with the retrograde motion of Mars - it happens once every two years. This movement began at the end of 2024 and will last until the end of February 2025.
"Retrograde Mars causes increased aggression, difficulties in any matters, promoting these matters, possible difficulties related to technology, its breakdown, and increased accident risk. During this period, you should not buy any equipment, do wiring in the house, and carefully monitor electricity in the car, at home - that is, everywhere where problems may arise. In addition, retrograde Mars can cause complex natural phenomena, and given that we will be under the influence of the sign of Cancer, these phenomena will most likely be related to water. Also, retrograde Mars will be in opposition to Pluto, which increases the risk of intensifying military actions, and here I am talking not only about Ukraine, but about the whole world. Such a loop awaits us in the first half of January, and also at the end of April," the astrologer said.
According to Ksenia Bazylenko, during the retrograde period of Mars, the most correct thing to do is not to rush events, but to be patient and not waste energy on issues whose resolution meets resistance. And do not take risks.
Of course, there will also be retrograde Mercury. It will be in this position from March 15 to April 7, then from July 18 to August 11, and from November 9 to November 29.
"Mercury is responsible for information, communication, interaction, movement. In all these areas, there may be a slowdown. Negotiations, meetings, trips - all this can cause difficulties. Mental processes can also slow down. But periods of retrograde Mercury are a great time to re-evaluate your circle of communication: break off communication with toxic people or, conversely, meet with pleasant people you haven't seen for a long time. You can also hold not the most pleasant meetings, but ones you have long postponed - during this period there is a chance to resolve long-standing issues," the astrologer said.
According to her, during the retrograde period of Mercury, it is good to pay attention to unfinished business, unresolved and long-postponed problems, review learned material, and rewatch old movies.
Venus will be retrograde from March 2 to April 13.
"Retrograde Venus always affects our feelings first and foremost. We may face a cooling in relationships, difficulties in understanding with loved ones. Meetings with ex-partners and even the resumption of relationships are possible. Relationships that previously had a deep crack will simply crumble, but it is likely that the breakup will happen peacefully by mutual consent," the astrologer said.
In addition, Venus is responsible for finances, and a retrograde planet entails crises, losses, exchange rate and stock market fluctuations. Therefore, the astrologer recommends securing yourself with a financial cushion for this period and postponing large expenses.
Do not make expensive purchases during this period: land, real estate, jewelry, do not start repairs, do not take out loans and postpone investing. In all these aspects, negative moments may appear: improper quality, inflated price or other unexpected troubles
Retrograde Venus is also not the best time for cosmetic procedures.
"If we take March, there is a coincidence of retrograde Venus and Mercury, and on top of that, a large cluster of planets and also a period of eclipses. This will be a difficult period. Financial problems and difficulties in reaching agreements are possible here - and all this will rise to a high international level. Also, the probability of a significant increase in the dollar. That is, March - early April is a very difficult period, to which everyone should approach with caution, postponing all important matters to a more favorable period," the astrologer believes.
Jupiter will bring us back to family
"Jupiter will move into the sign of Cancer in the second half of summer and will remain there until the end of the year. And until mid-2025, Jupiter will be in the sign of Gemini. This combination will give us success in communication and education. Perhaps during this period, new systems of Internet communication will even appear," said Ksenia Bazylenko.
Jupiter's stay in the sign of Cancer will draw our attention to family, family values, and traditions. This period will be full of weddings, and broken families may also reunite.
"Many people will strive, if they were in emigration, to return home, to their loved ones, to their native lands. Relationships in families, relationships with parents will improve. And the value of family will be very significant, it will be very elevated," the astrologer believes.
But at the same time, new territorial conflicts between countries may arise, but until November they will proceed relatively calmly.
Who will be lucky
The coming year will be very successful for Geminis.
"People born under this sign will experience significant changes. A new stage in their lives will begin. First of all, this applies to people born in the first decade of the sign - they will feel the changes most strongly. And over the next seven years, all Geminis will experience significant changes in their lives, the emergence of something new, interesting. Also, these people will change very much internally," said Ksenia Bazylenko.
2025 will bring luck to people born under the sign of Pisces.
"They will be able to show their true essence, which is work on the inner world, creativity, psychology. All Pisces whose lives are connected with these areas will feel incredible luck," the astrologer believes.
Cancers, especially by the end of the year, will feel a surge of self-confidence
"They will be happy. Many Cancers can find their family or make a great career," the astrologer added.
Favorable periods
The best periods of 2025 are summer. It will be as calm as possible. If you are going on vacation, moving - summer is the best time. Except for the period of retrograde Mercury from July 18 to August 11
Also a good period is autumn, especially October.
Most critical periods
According to the astrologer, difficult situations may arise every month of the coming year. However, the most critical will be the periods of eclipses and the period of Mars' aggression - January and April. September and February may also be difficult months.
"At the end of the year, you need to be careful with financial matters, especially November and December 2025," the astrologer summarized.
