The accelerating rise of Artificial Intelligence
While most of the focus is on how to adapt to AI for business, profit, and efficiency, we turn our attention to what’s rarely explored: the psychological, spiritual, and esoteric dimensions of the AI revolution.
In Part 1, we examine both utopian and dystopian visions of our AI-driven future, without falling into a simplistic “AI good vs. AI bad” narrative.
We look at warnings about data-driven control, the erosion of free will, and the rise of super-intelligent systems that may render humanity obsolete. We contrast this with the techno-utopian fantasy of robot slaves and universal wealth.
We also address what’s already unfolding: addiction to AI companions, the decline of human intelligence and creativity, and the psychological toll. We offer suggestions on how to utilize AI without compromising critical thinking and creativity in the process.
In Part 2, we go deeper into the esoteric and occult dimensions. Rudolf Steiner warned of a future in which technological forces would trap the soul in a counterfeit world, the 8th Sphere, an astral realm constructed by Ahrimanic and Luciferic beings to block spiritual evolution.
We explore how this artificial path severs us from our divine origins, fuels the rise of earthbound spirits, and deepens the spiritual vacuum of our time. We share how to recognize these forces, counteract the influence of Ahriman, Lucifer, and the 8th Sphere, and how to nurture your soul and creative essence as the antidote.

Get ready for a wild ride
The year 2025 ahead is one of the biggest turning points in humanity as Saturn, Rahu and Ketu, Uranus, and Jupiter are changing signs this year
Major Shifts
This month, the most powerful aspect is Mars retrograde opposing Pluto. They will be exact on January 3, along with Ketu trine Pluto and Rahu trine Mars.
This very rare and unusual planetary combination indicates a major shift in humanity and can signify serious events that will change the world. It’s a point of destiny involving Pluto – the planet of major transformation – as opposed to Mars – the planet of violence.
Both are aspected by the lunar nodes, Rahu and Ketu, which represent our destiny. Even if there is not a powerful event, there is something huge brewing beneath the surface.
The last week of December introduced profound shifts, especially in awareness. Now a massive shift will occur as anger, fighting, and war are looming. There are many new issues surrounding war as the way we fight is changing.
The drone sightings are an indication of coming events and play an important role in how wars will be fought.
Another significant astrological event is that for six months – from November 2024 to April 2025 – the full Moons all occur at 29 degrees.
The full Moon occurring at the 29-degree mark indicates the end of an era and the beginning of a new world. This month, the full moon occurs at 29 degrees Gemini.
Uranus is the planet of change and awakening, and this month it indicates there are massive changes coming. Uranus is stationing direct this month at 29 degrees Aries.
This puts Uranus and the Sun in an exact trine aspect, which means a radical change in global leadership. It could indicate the new presidency of Donald Trump.
The U.S. Chart
On January 20, transiting Mars will retrograde back into Gemini, where it will remain through April 2.
While it is in Gemini, there will be major events occurring with the United States since the USA chart has important planets in Gemini.
The Sun will be incredibly important, as it represents the president in this chart. Mars will station on the USA Sun February 23, indicating rage and attack towards the president.
The new Moon occurs on January 29, another indication that we are on the brink of a huge change. As Mars retrogrades back in Gemini (January 20 -21), it will be 29 degrees, crossing the mark of the previous full Moon.
Unbelievably, Mars transits back to the 29-degree mark on the day of Trump’s Presidential Inauguration. This marks that unseen events are brewing. On top of this, Pluto is exactly conjunct with the Sun. The Sun is the President and Pluto indicates major transformation.
Unforeseen Events
Another very important aspect occurring this month is that Neptune and Rahu are conjunct on January 31 at 3 degrees Pisces with Venus. Neptune is the planet of fog, deception, scandals, secrets, and unforeseen events – which are amplified as Neptune is conjunct Rahu.
This could impact several areas of our lives:
Health: Neptune and Rahu rule disease, and Ketu sits in Virgo pertaining to health. Could this be an indication of another pandemic brewing beneath the surface? It appears there is a big fog or cloud that covers the world. Again, something completely unforeseen is occurring now.
Weather: Neptune and Rahu in Pisces also indicates severe weather, particularly pertaining to the oceans and seas. Pisces and Neptune both rule the oceans and water.
Governments: Neptune conjunct Rahu in Pisces also indicates major deception concerning governments and truth coming out about previous corruption. I expect many truths to be unveiled that have been conspiracies for years.
Energy: Many earth-changing events will occur involving oil and gas and possible drilling and exploration. There will be major accidents, oil spills, and explosions. The earth will shake with this kind of damage.
Economic Changes
Lastly, a very important astrological aspect that flavors the time between now and May 2025 is that Venus is in Pisces (exalted) due to its retrograde cycle and Jupiter is in Taurus.
They are both in each other’s sign of rulership, which is a mutual exchange of signs called “Parivartana.”
This can indicate a time of great financial gains as both planets rule wealth and money. The economy and stock market will be on the rise.
There are many more incredible events that will occur this year 2025 – particularly from June to August, as this is another time of remarkable and serious change.
I will keep you posted. All these details are in my recording of Predictions for 2025.
We are entering very unstable times beginning January 2025. This year is going to be extremely eventful.
