News Updates for April 2025
A round-up of breaking news and the most interesting stories from the world of astrology and esotericism.
Reda Wigle of the New York Post, writes that Mars was retrograde after December 6, 2024. Although this planet turned direct in February, it will gain strength as it moves from Cancer to Leo in April. Wigle says when Mars is direct, the energy of the planet naturally lends itself to actionable advancement. According to Wigle, "Mars will end its retrograde, the planet will still be in Cancer, the cardinal water sign where it is said to be in its fall, aka functions at its lowest capacity, meaning things will improve. But we won’t get the full force of our energy back until the planet moves into Leo in mid-April."
According to this piece in the 'Mint' based on an article from The Economist, globally, more and more people are turning to astrology for advice. This seems to be bourne out by the fact that on Google, global searches for the term “astrology” hit a ten-year high in December 2020. To substantiate this claim, the article mentions that "Some 70% of Americans either 'somewhat' or 'strongly' believe in astrology, according to a survey by the Harris Poll, a research firm, in 2024."
Some of the reasons cited for this increase in popularity are:
The decline of organised religion, which has sparked a search for meaning in other places, from gyms to politics.
The stress of modern life. 61% of Americans say that astrology provides comfort in uncertain times. Interest surged during the Covid-19 pandemic.
