Which energies will dominate in 2025?
For L'OFFICIEL , Natasha AstroBalance, astrologer for the Moonly app , shared her outlook for the year ahead.
2025 will be under the influence of the number 9, ruled by the planet Mars.
This year encourages the accomplishment of missions, inspires courage and good deeds, and pushes one to actively pursue one's plans and goals . However, progress will not come immediately - some periods will be more favorable to patience.
On New Year's Eve , the Sun will be in conjunction with the Moon in the lucky and wise sign of Sagittarius. This configuration gives powerful energy to dreams and wishes for their realization, improves well-being, supports informed decision-making for the new year and balances the often rigorous influence of Mars.
On March 29 , the new astrological year will begin, introducing a different dominant energy. From March 2024 to March 2025, the year was marked by the management of emotions, aggression and crises. From March 2025, a year under the sign of pleasure, relaxation and results begins, characterized by increased lightness and joy – a reward for the previous period.
Overall, the energies of the year promote inner and outer well-being , wisdom , and a focus on positive contributions and purity of intentions.
The influence of the number 9 and Mars on different areas of life
The number 9 contains the energy of completion and the wisdom of the nine planets , symbolizing leadership and harmonious management. Mars embodies the courage to make bold decisions, transform one's life and shape the world . Its key gifts are confidence, discipline and protection.
Among the activities to be favoured during this new year: sports , travel, mountain hikes , discipline and spiritual growth, helping others and important missions for society, as well as collaboration and teamwork.

Beginning in April, events will begin to gradually calm down, and in May, a new chapter with new themes and goals will open. Here are some important dates to keep in mind.
