PsychicWorld asked its top astrologers, fortune-tellers and mediums to make predictions about 2025.  The Psychic group states that 75% of their predictions from 2024 came true.

The psychic network states that 2025, “promises to be a year of significant changes and deep transformations in societies across the globe. The decisions that will lead to these changes will be taken by human beings under powerful cosmic influences. From geopolitical shifts to technological advancements and spiritual rebirth, the world will enter a quieter yet deeply transformative phase — a testament to humanity’s resilience and adaptability.”

Some psychics believe the year will have some of the biggest changes in how society thinks of things since the advent of the Internet.  This prediction lines up with expectations surrounding advances in Generative AI that will change how most things are done.  We can expect that GenAI will expand rapidly unless electricity supplies become constrained.

Predictions foretell a changing political landscape in Europe due to elections scheduled for Germany. Spain and Poland.  Due to Saturn’s transit through Aries, new leadership will shift from centrist, socio-democratic parties to reformist leaders challenging the status quo.  Some foretell the beginning of the end of the European Union.

A flash election for next month in Germany demonstrates how quickly its citizens have become frustrated with the current state of their country.  Problems largely come from an economy that was powered by cheap, eastern European workers and cheap, Russian natural gas.  With the Russian pipeline out of commission, Germans are paying higher energy costs.  This has resulted in German industry being uncompetitive versus places with less expensive energy and workers.

President-elect Trump has made it clear that his administration will use tariffs to negotiate with other countries.  Psychic World sees that US/China tensions around trade will coincide with Pluto in Aquarius.  This astrological sign is ‘often associated with relational changes and societal restructuring.’

The US Dollar will be stronger than ever.  With Jupiter’s retrograde in Gemini through next month, economic fluctuations may be exacerbated.  This prediction lines up with a rise in the US dollar that began following Trump’s win over Harris.

Trump 2.0 will encourage a détente in hotspots like the Ukraine and the South China Sea.  This prediction lines up with existing statements by the Ukraine and Russia.

Predictions on cryptocurrencies seem like leftovers from 2022 as they foretell Bitcoin prices going to more than $100,000.

Due to Pluto’s journey through Aquarius, there will be the dawn of a new era.  Changes will be most pronounced in technology, equality and collective ideals.  Some of those ‘collective ideals’ may include a renewed interest in Christianity and a pullback on radical liberalism.  This prediction suggests that psychics believe that many of the elements of Project 2025 will come to fruition.

Project 2025 (www.Project2025.org) is a comprehensive blueprint on policy created by the conservative think-tank, The Heritage Foundation.  While President-elect Trump disavowed any knowledge or interest in the project, some of its key policies include securing the border and completing the wall between the United States and Mexico.  It also lays out how to ‘de-weaponize the federal government’ by consolidating agencies like the FBI, CIA and Department of Justice into fewer entities that have greater accountability to the President.  Project 2025 wants to eliminate the Department of Education and shift its responsibilities to the state level.

Lastly, what look at predictions would be complete without a visit to the writings of 16th century French astrologer Michel de Nostredame (aka Nostradamus).  His writings warn of “Great Powers” clashing with Europe involved in “cruel wars”.  This sounds like the 3-year-old Ukraine/Russia war.  His writings suggest that battle fatigue and cost will cause the end of hostilities.
