Why the World is Rising: The Astrology of Protest in 2025 and the Long Road to Change
Wednesday, June 24th - Navigating the long road ahead
Something is stirring.
Everywhere, we’re seeing people pour into the streets — not just in one country or for one cause, but across the globe. The protests, the unrest, the rage, it’s all building. And even if you’re not marching, you’re probably feeling it in your bones: that pulsing undercurrent that says something is not okay.
If you’ve been wondering why the world feels like it’s cracking open again, you’re not imagining it. The astrology of this moment is revolutionary. Not just metaphorically. Literally. We’re in a rare, historic alignment of energies that are shaking up the foundations of power.
Here’s what’s happening, why the unrest is rising, and where it’s likely heading from now through 2026.
Let’s break it down.
Saturn moved into Aries on May 24, 2025, and it’s applying pressure to take action — even when the way forward isn’t clear. Aries is the warrior, the first responder, the bold leader. Saturn is the weight of reality. Together? They spark protest, resistance, and personal accountability.
What this feels like:
Deep frustration at being ignored
Impatience with systems that aren’t moving fast enough
Anger being channeled into action
What this creates:
A global push for new leadership models
More people are stepping up, organizing, and refusing to back down
Pluto, the planet of destruction, power, and rebirth, is in Aquarius for the first time since the American and French Revolutions. It’s retrograde now, meaning it’s digging deep into the shadows of collective power.
What this feels like:
Corruption is being exposed faster than it can be handled
Truths are bubbling up, and they’re uncomfortable
The systems that claimed to serve the people are being revealed as self-serving
What this creates:
Mass movements
Technological disruption in organizing (AI, surveillance, digital censorship)
A power shift toward grassroots and community-led structures
Chiron, the wounded healer, is nearing the end of its transit in Aries, a long journey that’s been challenging our sense of survival, identity, and self-worth since 2018.
What this feels like:
Deep exhaustion from fighting the same fights
A sense that injustice is not just systemic — it’s spiritual
The pain of not being seen, heard, or feeling safe
What this creates:
A call to reclaim voice and visibility
The healing of the collective warrior, not with violence, but with boundaries, clarity, and truth
Jupiter, the planet of expansion, is now in Gemini, the sign of communication, media, and ideas. This marks the beginning of a year-long shift that will amplify speech, storytelling, and information sharing.
What this feels like:
Protests that go viral
Stories breaking faster than systems can contain them
A hunger for truth and clarity amid chaos
What this creates:
New media voices rising
More educational movements
The use of technology as a protest tool, especially among the younger generation
Uranus, the planet of disruption, is in the final degrees of Taurus, shaking up money, food systems, land ownership, and survival security. Uranus moves into Gemini in July 2025, which will amplify online activism, information warfare, and the collective mind's power.
What this means right now:
The fight for economic justice is intensifying
Protests related to the cost of living, labor rights, and environmental collapse are rising
The next revolution will be both in the streets and on the screen
Here’s the truth: massive change doesn’t happen overnight. But these protests, this fire in the collective, are not empty noise. They are birth pangs.
Between now and 2026, here’s what this astrology sets the stage for:
1. Fall of Corrupt Structures
With Pluto retrograding through Aquarius, we’ll continue to see the dismantling of systems that are no longer sustainable, especially in government, tech, policing, and finance.
What to expect:
Whistleblower movements
Anti-surveillance protests
Calls to regulate AI, corporate monopolies, and lobbying
2. Rise of Local Power & Collective Action
Aquarius is all about the people, not just the loudest ones, but the organized ones. With Saturn in Aries and Pluto in Aquarius, we’re seeing the rise of local leadership and grassroots networks.
What to expect:
Mutual aid is growing stronger
More decentralized movements (no single figurehead, but shared vision)
The beginning of entirely new systems, built from the ground up
3. Courage as a Spiritual Practice
Chiron in Aries is teaching us to feel the fear and act anyway. This isn’t toxic positivity. This is sacred resistance.
What to expect:
Collective healing around powerlessness
People embracing activism as a sacred act
More voices breaking the silence from grief, from rage, from awakening
Not everyone is built to march. Not everyone is built to speak. But everyone has a role. Here’s how to hold your ground as the world shifts:
Ground your energy
Sit with your feet on the earth. Hold Hematite, Black Tourmaline, or Smoky Quartz. Breathe deeply and say aloud: “I anchor into truth. I hold the line.”
Light for clarity
Burn a white candle when reading the news. Burn a black candle when you need to release the fear. Let the flame remind you: you are still here.
Use your voice
Write. Share. Speak. Even if your voice trembles. Jupiter in Gemini says words matter. A single story can shift a collective narrative. Don’t underestimate the ripple.
Stay soft where it counts
Protest doesn’t mean losing your heart. Let tenderness be part of your revolution. Rest. Pray. Feed someone. Laugh. These are sacred acts, too.
Final Thoughts
We are not watching the world fall apart.
We are watching it demand to be reborn.
It’s scary. It’s exhausting. It’s overwhelming. But it’s also exactly what this moment, cosmically and historically, was designed to ignite.
The protests you see?
They are not the end.
They are the beginning.
And you’re not powerless.
You are part of it.
So take a breath.
Light the candle.
Feel the fire.
And when you're ready — rise.
