Weekly Mundane Astrological Climate - Week of June 16 to 22, 2025

Introduction

You can view global aspects for any day and time using the Transits application, in simple chart mode after unchecking angular aspects in the form. Positions and aspects are calculated from Monday to Sunday at 12:00 PM UT.

The orb for major planetary aspects is set at three degrees. For the True North Node and Lilith, true positions are used. Minor aspects are excluded from interpretation due to their limited influence.

Planetary aspects shape the global context, influencing politics, economics, and social trends. Lunar aspects are not included here, as their brevity makes them too fleeting for a weekly analysis.

The same applies to the North Node, Lilith, and Chiron, whose influence through aspects remains insufficiently demonstrated.

This is not a personal horoscope but a form of mundane astrology highlighting planetary influence on a collective scale.

This week of June 16 to 22, 2025 is marked by a particularly dynamic and contrasting atmosphere. Numerous planetary interactions encourage both personal initiative and caution in the face of emotional, ideological, or practical excesses, requiring careful navigation between creative inspiration and realistic constraints.

Recent events, such as Israel's preemptive strikes against Iran and the tragic plane crash in India, dramatically illustrate the current planetary tensions.
