How 2024’s Dog Month Shifted Global Energy & What It Means for 2025

Chinese Astrology 2025: Understanding the Energy Shift From Politics to Personal Power

If you’ve been feeling like 2025 has had a strange “buzz” to it—shaky ground, heightened tensions, and a sense that something is brewing beneath the surface—you’re not imagining things. And no, it didn’t just start this April.

Let’s rewind a bit.

Back in October 2024—the Dog month—many of us were holding our breath for something big. While some may have been expecting dramatic, headline-grabbing events, the true tremor came subtly, through choices made on the global stage. Notably, the U.S. elections. And while I’m not here to unpack politics (this isn’t a political blog), it’s essential to recognize that in the lens of political astrology, that month marked a massive energetic turning point.

In fact, it was only the beginning.

In one of my private classes, I shared this observation: 2025’s chart might look “fine” at first glance—perhaps even stable. But just because something looks stable doesn’t mean it’s unaffected. The decisions and changes that occurred in October 2024 laid the groundwork for a longer process of energetic transformation. What we’re witnessing now—shifts in international dynamics, rising geopolitical tensions, murmurs of trade wars—are all part of that energy shift.

This is a crucial point: energy doesn’t operate like a light switch. It doesn’t flick off in December and back on in January. Energetic transitions fade in and fade out. They bleed into each other. They ripple.

Why Political Astrology Still Matters in 2025

Now let’s talk about April 2025—the Geng Chen (Yang Metal Dragon) month. This clearly is the impact from last year- when, here comes another Dragon month - The Tariffs bomb dropped, echoing the energetic undertones from the Dog month of 2024. (2024 Jia chen impact is still lingering around, Dog's month impacting this year's Dragon's month. That being said, it's Earth right, it lingers, of course)

The chaos, or “drama” on the global stage, it isn’t random. It’s not coming out of nowhere. It’s an echo. A ripple. And where did the ripple begin? Back in the Dog month, when major political decisions realigned global energies. What we’re seeing now is really, just the energetic digestion of last year’s shifts. And April, the Dragon month, is unearthing the karmic weight of what was buried—personally and collectively.

Earthquakes. Political shakeups. Emotional overwhelm. It’s all a result of the energy shift that started in 2024. We're just experiencing the .. say, effect or tail end of it if you get me.

The Dog-Dragon axis is known in Chinese metaphysics as a clash between branches. What we experienced in 2024 was a tremor in this axis. What we are living through now in 2025 is the aftershock.

So what does this mean for you?

It means that your 2025 experience is not separate from your 2024 actions, decisions, or experiences. This is the heart of karmic law: cause and effect. What we sowed last year, we are reaping now.

This is why I always remind my students and clients: it doesn’t matter whether the year is deemed “good” or “bad” for you on paper. What matters is how you show up within it.

Energy is always in motion. And just like waves in the ocean, our actions, thoughts, and intentions send ripples across time. You are not behind. You are not late. You are living the result of your past energetic investments. We all are.

So if you’ve been asking:

• “Why does it feel like I’m still dealing with last year’s stuff?”

• “Why aren’t things moving faster?”

• “Why do I feel like I'm working harder this year?”
  

The answer lies in Chinese astrology 2025 and the interconnectedness of energy cycles. Nothing is independent. Everything is connected. And just like nature, we experience seasons in our growth.

I know it may sound tiring , but hey.. remember this - this isn't a RACE.

This isn’t a sprint. It’s a journey. Life is itself is. If you’re tired, take a break. If you’ve stumbled, pause and recalibrate.

Bottom line is, how you navigate this year will pave the way for your 2026. Because the deeper we understand energy, the better we learn how to work with it, rather than be swept away by it.

Here's the final thoughts..

April's Geng Chen energy is not just about challenges—it’s about awakening. It's about recognizing the impact of the energy shift from 2024 and choosing to realign ourselves with integrity, purpose, and resilience.

The Dragon reminds us to dig deep, to rise from within. And while the world may seem loud, uncertain, or dramatic right now, know that you’re not alone. You are part of a bigger flow—one that’s unfolding, revealing, and recalibrating.
