News Updates for March 2025
A round-up of breaking news and the most interesting stories from the world of astrology and esotericism.
TikTok content creator, Tarot Noir uploaded a clip around her 2025 predictions, shortly before the January American Airlines plane crash, according to comments on the post, 12 to 13 hours before the crash. She coincidently predicted two “Aviation” related events in her video, which might shock everyone. However, she did not predict the Washington DC disaster that saw a Black Hawk helicopter colliding with an American Airlines plane on January 29, 2025.
The TikToker did make reference to supposed mishaps that would involve a commercial airline plane and a small plane, a military aircraft. She predicted the crash would happen in February. Furthermore, Tarot Noir described both incidents as separate events, initially claiming that one will be an “Inside job”, while the other will have a popular couple as its victims.
So as of now, Tarot Noir's predictions, while are close to the actual occurrence, are not quite accurate.
Tarot Noir on TikTok predicted 2 plane crashes. A commercial plane crash and a small plane crash. She posted her video hours before the commercial plane crash.
Turkish astrologer Hilal Saraç, who was accused of insulting President Tayyip Erdoğan and far-right leader Devlet Bahçeli, was arrested after making predictions regarding Bahçeli's health.
Saraç, who claims to be the "Best medical astrologer" in the country, shared a post suggesting that Bahçeli had serious lung problems and breathing difficulties. Saraç had reposted her earlier “prediction” from Dec. 27, 2024, suggesting that Bahçeli might “Fall seriously ill.” Additionally, she speculated that early elections would take place and that one of the political leaders would pass away before the elections. The Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office launched an investigation based on the accusations, and Saraç was taken into custody. She was later arrested on the orders of a local court.

Avoid travel during Mercury retrograde periods.
Saturn dictates that detailed planning will be beneficial.
Rae Dawson of Martlet provides a detailed breakdown of the planetary influences that will be at play in '25. According to Dawson, "2025 starts off with a cosmic fist-fight between Jupiter and Saturn from January to March." Due to this and other factors, "The need for growth will be in direct conflict with traditional structures. Publicly, this may manifest in political unrest." Dawson also says, "Notable transits for the rest of the year are two additional Mercury retrogrades, happening from July 18 to Aug. 11, and Nov. 9 to 29. September brings double trouble with both a Lunar eclipse in Pisces and a Solar eclipse in Virgo."
Sakshi Deshmukh of Harper's Bazaar India says, "The truth is, no one can tell the future. But if one can get a glimpse into the endless possibilities of what is more likely to happen, then why not prepare for it? It is what tilts most individuals towards astrology and the likes." Deshmukh quotes Tarot readers and a GenZ colleague to support the claim that, "While millennials have already said yes to astrology and its family (numerology and tarot reading), GenZ continues to keep the belief (about astrology) alive."
The New York Times covers a new exhibition at the Warburg Institute in London titled, “Tarot: Origins and Afterlives”, which traces the evolution of tarot from Renaissance Italy to the present day, with the card designs shifting to reflect the times. It looks at what the curators call, “Critical moments” in tarot’s history, to show how a recreational card game of the elite in Renaissance Italy transformed into an esoteric tool for divination and, eventually, a mainstay of alternative spirituality.
The exhibit starts from 1909, when Aby Warburg, the German art historian for whom the institute is named, began collecting tarot decks and books on the history of magic. Visitors will also be able to view the elaborate, gold-leafed miniatures by the Italian artist Bonifacio Bembo from the mid-15th century, which are among the earliest known tarot cards. These cards are probably too valuable to play with, they were more likely used as tools of reflection.
Angie Banicki is a musical Tarot card reader with an impressive list of celebrity clients, like Billie Eilish, Sophia Bush and Nikki Reed. Banicki reads tarot cards, and the musical element of her process reflects the melodies she often hears when she’s speaking with her clients.
The Tarot reader performed a reading for journalist Kells McPhillips. According to McPhillips, "Within five minutes of the session, Banicki—who offers virtual sessions—decides that I’m completely in love based on the songs that pop into her head while she reads my cards."
Norma Hilton of News Decoder investigates how astrology is able to answer questions that neither science nor religion can. According to her findings, a survey in 'Business in Vancouver' magazine found that 49% of under 35 Canadians believe in astrology.
In the opinion of one astrologer, "Some people turn to astrology to cope with stress, to feel a sense of control and certainty and to feel more in tune with their own identities." This article also claims that some studies found that astrology both attracts and reinforces individual differences, with one finding that higher levels of narcissism showed higher beliefs in astrology.
In this podcast on Newstalk, Dublin based Tarot card reader, Amanda Healy talks about how social media is driving an increase in the popularity of Tarot readings among Gen Z.
According to Florence Hallett of The i Paper, Tarot cards are "A bona fide cultural phenomenon" and "Tarot hashtags are a big thing on TikTok". Hallet goes into the details of the diverse range of card decks that are available nowadays. She also observes that, "The trend chimes with a recent poll suggesting that Gen Z are turning to astrology and other spiritual practices for guidance and meaning in an increasingly chaotic world." But Hallet also queries whether, "They know where their beloved cards came from?"
