Date Posted: May 31, 2025

One of the most important planetary events of 2025—and particularly for the month of June—is the Saturn-Neptune conjunction in sidereal Pisces. Both Saturn and Neptune resonate strongly with the spiritual water sign Pisces. Here, Saturn’s wisdom merges with Neptune’s ideal of universal love and compassion, setting the stage for a harmonious spiritual evolution. Philosophers, philanthropists, social reformers, and spiritually driven scientists and entrepreneurs are likely to emerge as key influencers, shaping a more compassionate and mindful global landscape.

On the material level, however, this period is expected to be both emotionally and psychologically challenging—especially for those involved with hospitals, prisons, asylums, secluded places, sanatoriums, and assisted living facilities. These environments are likely to experience more painful and/or deceptive experiences under this conjunction.

On or around May 14, Jupiter entered sidereal Gemini. Gemini, being an air and mutable sign ruled by Mercury, allows Jupiter to expand and transform global philosophy, potentially elevating it to the next stage of human evolution.

Furthermore, the north lunar node Rahu left the unfavorable sign of Pisces and—with its backward motion—entered sidereal Aquarius, a friendly air sign, on May 24. While Rahu generally thrives in air signs, Aquarius is ruled by Saturn, which is not considered a friendly planet to Rahu. This dynamic creates challenges for Rahu’s energy to reach its full potential. Additionally, since Aquarius is a fixed sign, Rahu’s energy cannot easily be distributed in multiple directions, further restricting its expression.

Recent World Events:

Recent global developments already reflect these astrological shifts, reinforcing themes of instability, deception, upheaval, and unpredictability. Financial markets have exhibited extreme volatility due to tariffs, in alignment with the disruptive influence of Saturn, Uranus, and Rahu in key financial houses. The ongoing legal and political turmoil surrounding Donald Trump mirrors the deceptive and ambiguous nature of the Saturn-Neptune conjunction.

The Ukraine-Russia war has seen significant acceleration since around May 4, when the Saturn-Neptune conjunction came within three degrees. This conflict is likely to intensify further as Saturn draws even closer to Neptune—within one degree—by June 10. Meanwhile, the Gaza humanitarian crisis and the Lebanon-Israel border clashes reflect Saturn’s restrictive influence combined with Neptune’s tendency to obscure clear solutions and escalate confusion.

Despite the ongoing turmoil, the long-term alignments of Neptune, Uranus, and Pluto suggest that while material and societal challenges may intensify, they are part of a broader evolutionary process. These transformative shifts could redefine leadership, governance, and financial systems for decades to come—marking the beginning of a profound global metamorphosis.

Saturn-Neptune Conjunction (May 4 – Oct 5)

Just about five weeks after entering sidereal Pisces (March 28, 2025), Saturn comes within three degrees of Neptune, forming a close conjunction. Because both are slow-moving planets, and with both becoming retrograde in the following months, this conjunction will last until October 5, 2025. Furthermore, the most intensive phase of this conjunction—when they are within one degree of each other—will occur between June 10 and August 23.

Both Saturn and Neptune are well-aligned with the spiritual water sign Pisces, where Saturn’s wisdom merges with Neptune’s ideal of universal love and compassion. This alignment suggests the potential for a harmonious spiritual evolution. Philosophers, philanthropists, social reformers, and spiritually driven scientists and entrepreneurs are likely to emerge as key influencers, shaping a more compassionate and mindful global landscape.

On a global level, regarding capitalistic and communistic societies, Saturn, with its traditional and conservative worldview, aligns more closely with capitalist structures. In contrast, Neptune’s idealistic and compassionate nature inspired Karl Marx’s vision of a pure and ideal society—later known as communism. However, in practice, communism has struggled to thrive due to the unrealistic expectation that everyone behaves according to Neptune’s idealistic standards. Instead, it often morphs into authoritarian regimes ruled by power-hungry dictators who concentrate power in the hands of a few. This is precisely the negative side of Neptune’s energy, which tends to manifest when Neptune is in detrimental signs such as fire or earth signs.

However, when Neptune is in its most favorable sign, Pisces, authoritarian regimes come under tremendous pressure. Neptune in Pisces strongly counters authoritarian principles. At the material level, Saturn’s structured and grounded energy challenges Neptune’s free-spirited ideals, underscoring the ongoing friction between capitalism and communism—especially in its current authoritarian forms.

As previously mentioned, until the end of May, the north lunar node Rahu was in the unfavorable sign of Pisces, counteracting Neptune’s positive energy. With Rahu’s departure from Pisces, Russian President Vladimir Putin may begin to see his grip on power gradually weaken, especially under mounting pressures from war and internal unrest. Now, with Saturn entering Pisces and forming a close conjunction with Neptune, global conflict is likely to escalate further—particularly in nations already embroiled in war or experiencing high geopolitical tension. Specifically, the Ukraine-Russia conflict may intensify and enter a more volatile phase.

On an individual level, this conjunction could prove challenging for those with poorly placed Saturn and Neptune in their natal charts. The severity of the challenges will depend on the zodiac signs and houses these planets occupy. It is expected to be an emotionally and psychologically difficult period, particularly for those involved in hospitals, prisons, asylums, secluded places, sanatoriums, and assisted living facilities, where more painful or deceptive experiences may occur. On the other hand, if Saturn and Neptune are favorably placed in one’s natal chart, this period could mark a deeply rewarding spiritual journey and transformative experiences.

Jupiter Ingress into Sidereal Gemini (May 14, 2025)

One of the most significant planetary transits of 2025 is Jupiter’s entry into sidereal Gemini. Around May 14, Jupiter enters Gemini and will remain there until October 17, 2025. It will then briefly transit sidereal Cancer through December 7, 2025, before returning to Gemini, where it will stay until June 1, 2026. On average, Jupiter changes zodiac signs once a year, making this transit an important milestone in astrological timing.

Gemini, an air and mutable sign ruled by Mercury, brings intellectual and communicative qualities. Jupiter’s presence here tends to uplift collective thinking and push the boundaries of human understanding. It can catalyze significant transformation in global philosophy and educational systems. Those with well-placed and well-connected Mercury and Jupiter in their natal charts are especially likely to experience a wave of optimism, intellectual growth, and satisfaction during this transit.

On a collective level, we can expect growth in academic, philanthropic, and philosophical domains worldwide. However, it’s essential to consider the overall planetary picture when evaluating individual effects—despite Jupiter’s inherently positive influence, the impact of other transiting or natal planets could modify its effect in a personal chart.

Additionally, this period is likely to highlight the work and influence of social reformers, philanthropists, spiritual leaders, and academics. Their voices may play a pivotal role in guiding society toward philosophical and spiritual maturity. Historically, Jupiter’s presence in Gemini is associated with global spiritual and ideological expansion, suggesting a broader movement toward humanistic and intellectual progress.

On an individual level, those with strong Jupiter in their natal charts—and whose ninefold (Navamansh) ascendant is either Aries, Cancer, Libra, Sagittarius, or Aquarius—are especially likely to experience a highly favorable twelve-month period beginning May 14. This may manifest as professional advancement, increased optimism, spiritual insight, or opportunities for growth and recognition.

In summary, Jupiter’s transit through Gemini marks a period of intellectual flourishing, philosophical expansion, and renewed spiritual focus—both individually and collectively. Welcome this dynamic energy as a catalyst for inner and outer growth.

Rahu Enters Sidereal Aquarius (May 23, 2025)

On May 23, the north lunar node, Rahu, with its characteristic backward motion, leaves sidereal Pisces and enters sidereal Aquarius. Correspondingly, the south lunar node, Ketu, moves from Virgo into Leo. Rahu will remain in Aquarius for just over eighteen months, until December 7, 2026.

Aquarius is an air and fixed sign ruled by Saturn. While Rahu generally thrives in air signs due to their intellectual and expansive qualities, Saturn’s rulership presents complications. Rahu and Saturn are traditionally considered unfriendly, which may restrict Rahu’s ability to fully express its energy. Furthermore, Aquarius being a fixed sign limits Rahu’s tendency to disperse energy across multiple directions, often causing tension or stagnation.

On the global stage, Rahu’s transit through Aquarius is likely to escalate conflicts between nations already embroiled in war or high geopolitical tension. In particular, the Ukraine-Russia conflict may intensify and enter a more volatile phase. As previously noted, Neptune’s ongoing transit through sidereal Pisces—a water sign unfriendly to authoritarianism—undermines autocratic regimes. With Rahu’s departure from Pisces, Russian President Vladimir Putin may begin to see his grip on power gradually weaken, especially under the mounting pressures of war and internal unrest.

Individually, this transit holds promise for those with a favorably placed Rahu in their natal charts—especially if their ninefold (Navamansh) ascendant is Aries, Taurus, Virgo, or Sagittarius. These individuals are likely to experience noticeable progress and success in areas of life indicated by Rahu in their charts, such as career, relationships, finances, or personal growth.

In summary, Rahu’s entry into Aquarius signals a transformative period both globally and individually—marked by intensified global tensions but also potential for personal advancement, depending on one’s chart.

Saturn Ingress Sidereal Pisces (March 28)

A meeting of two spiritual planets in the most spiritual sign

On March 29, Saturn entered sidereal Pisces, joining Neptune, and will remain there until approximately June 2, 2027.

Pisces, a water-based mutable sign ruled by Jupiter, embodies qualities such as spirituality, compassion, emotional depth, modesty, honesty, introversion, and a heart-centered connection. These traits closely align with Neptune’s attributes of intuition, divine inspiration, imagination, love, and mystical energy. Together, Saturn and Neptune form a powerful synergy, amplifying the spiritual and transformative potential of this transit.

The planet Saturn, often regarded as the karmic that teaches life’s difficult lessons, also guides us toward understanding our purpose and the path to self-realization. Its presence in Pisces—a sign that complements Saturn’s structured wisdom with Neptune’s spiritual depth—marks a rare and profound meeting of two spiritual planets in the most spiritually inclined zodiac sign.

Over the next two and a half years, Saturn’s influence in Pisces is likely to bring significant transformations, particularly in the healthcare industry, including health insurance. This period may introduce new norms that redefine how these sectors operate.

In the realm of world religions, Saturn may initially appear to counter Neptune’s free-spirited energy by emphasizing dogmatic traditions. However, as Saturn’s wisdom merges with Neptune’s ideals of universal love, compassion, and detachment from materialism, a harmonious spiritual evolution is expected. Philosophers, philanthropists, social reformers, and spiritually driven scientists and entrepreneurs are likely to emerge as key influencers, shaping a more compassionate and mindful global landscape.

For individuals experiencing their Saturn return in Pisces, profound life changes—both material and psychological—are on the horizon. While these shifts may feel unexpected and challenging, they will ultimately be transformative, opening pathways for personal growth and self-discovery. Those with dominant Saturn placements in their natal charts, as well as individuals with Capricorn, Cancer, Leo, or Aquarius as their ninefold (Navamansa) ascendant, are likely to find this period particularly impactful, albeit demanding.

On the global political stage, Saturn in Pisces is expected to bring heightened focus on authoritarian regimes, particularly in nations like Russia and China. Their actions and influence will likely dominate headlines, signaling shifts in the balance of power and the evolution of governance systems worldwide.

Uranus re-ingress Sidereal Taurus

An era of Material World Transformation and Female Dominance

On December 16, 2024, retrograde Uranus returned to sidereal Aries. After transiting through Aries until March 15, 2025, Uranus reentered Taurus, where it will remain for approximately seven years.

Uranus, the planet of sudden and uninvited change, is poised to bring significant disruptions to matters related to Taurus. As an earth and fixed sign, Taurus will channel the energy of Uranus’s independence, ambition, impulsiveness, and unpredictability into transformative shifts in the material world. Over the next six to seven years, areas such as banking, stock markets, financial institutions, the U.S. Federal Reserve, and central banks worldwide will undergo drastic changes. Financial markets are expected to experience extreme volatility, potentially dipping into a severe but short-term depression. However, the severity may not be fully felt until May 2025, as Jupiter’s materially favorable transit through Taurus offsets some of Uranus’s disruptive effects.

One notable aspect of Uranus’s transit in Taurus is the increasing prominence of female leadership. Taurus, being a feminine sign, aligns with this shift, heralding a rise in women taking on leadership roles in both the political and financial realms. Business leaders, the wealthy, real estate magnates, and influential figures in the entertainment industry are likely to feel the most significant impact of Uranus’s energy. This period will also see groundbreaking innovations and advancements in science and technology, driving rapid discoveries. A new wave of spiritually inclined leaders in politics and corporations is expected to emerge, blending compassion and human values into their leadership styles.

The challenging side of Uranus’s transit through Taurus involves the painful transformation of material norms. The familiar structures of the material world are likely to be redefined, aligning with humanity’s spiritual growth and evolution. These changes will echo themes previously outlined in predictions tied to Capricorn Pluto’s transformative energy and Piscean Neptune’s spiritual influence.

Other manifestations of Uranus’s transit in Taurus include economic wars, cyber conflicts, currency manipulation, economic persecution, agricultural disputes, and real estate crises. Economically disadvantaged individuals may face intolerable hardships. Natural disasters such as wildfires, extreme weather events, significant earthquakes, and unbearable seasonal conditions are also expected to increase in frequency and intensity.

For individuals with a well-placed Uranus in their natal charts and a Pisces, Sagittarius, Leo, or Cancer ninefold (Navamansa) ascendant, this transit may bring a particularly positive period. These individuals are likely to experience growth and success, especially during times when Uranus is prominently active in their transit charts.
