Weekly Mundane Astrological Climate - Week of June 23 to 29, 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, from June 23 to 29, 2025, unfolds with a particularly turbulent dynamic. The abundance of aspects between fast-moving and slow-moving planets creates a general atmosphere of tension, ideological friction, and emotional overheating.

The Sun, in Cancer, simultaneously aspected by Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, and Mars, brings about sharp contradictions among expansion, confusion, authority, and assertiveness.

The Israel-Iran conflict remains mired in a cycle of targeted strikes and retaliations. In Ukraine, military tensions have escalated again, with no credible diplomatic resolution in sight. The sky, for its part, mirrors these complexities and heightens the paradoxes of an unstable era.

Conclusion

This week, from June 23 to 29, 2025, calls for heightened vigilance. The multiple dissonances between fast and slow-moving planets create an uncertain atmosphere in which international conflicts and ideological tensions find immediate resonance.

Sharp stances, dramatic announcements and hasty decisions could prove counterproductive. Yet certain windows of coherence, such as the sextiles involving Mars and Mercury, allow for targeted and effective actions, provided they are approached with clarity, restraint, and method.
