According to astrological economic theory, the Lunar Nodes' position significantly influences financial trends. With the North Node transiting Pisces and South Node in Virgo since January 11, 2025, the global economy operates in a moderate phase—neither at its strongest nor weakest. However, country-specific impacts vary considerably, with some nations experiencing more pronounced effects than others .
"While the first half of 2025 is not as strong astrologically, with retrograde energy, eclipse season in March, and an extended Mars-Pluto opposition creating tension, the planetary aspects improve dramatically from July onward," notes a financial astrologer. "The outer planets mostly form harmonious sextiles with one another in the second half, creating supportive conditions for economic recovery."
Jupiter forms its third and final square with Saturn in June 2025, representing the ongoing battle between expansion and contraction that has characterized economic fluctuations since their first square in 2024. This aspect coincides with Saturn and Neptune forming a near-conjunction in Aries, potentially indicating inflationary pressures or government responses to economic conditions .
Neptune's entry into Aries (March 30-October 22) historically correlates with inflationary trends, possibly exacerbated by potential tariff implementations. However, Saturn's simultaneous entry into Aries may provide a containing, restrictive influence that helps keep inflation in check .
Promisingly, renowned French astrologer André Barbault—who accurately predicted both the collapse of the Soviet Union and the challenges of 2020—forecasted that 2026 would mark a major beneficial turning point for the planet, suggesting the improvements beginning in late 2025 may have lasting power .
