Astrology of the 2025 Australian Federal Election
Chart Insights from the Close of Polling
Will Australia change direction in 2025? Here's what the election chart reveals.
To make an astrological prediction about the outcome of the 2025 Australian federal election, we cast a chart for the close of polling. Because Western Australia is the last jurisdiction to finish voting, we set the chart for 6:00 pm local time in Perth, the capital of WA—thanks to the insight of esteemed Australian astrologer Mari Garcia, who clarified the most appropriate time and place for this chart. While all Australian elections fall on a Saturday (Saturn’s day), the planetary hour ruler shifts depending on sunrise and sunset, so it’s worth noting that too. (In this election chart, it is Mercury.)

Astrology chart cast for the 2025 Australian election showing key planetary alignments at the close of voting, including Mars at the top of the chart and Moon in late Cancer.
Fixed Angles, Fixed Mood?
The chart features fixed angles, indicating a collective resistance to change. With Scorpio rising, the electorate is symbolised by the sign of the Scorpion—private, determined, and deeply invested. Scorpio’s ruling planet, Mars, is at the top of the chart, angular and loud in fiery Leo, suggesting that voters are eager to make their voices heard. This strong Mars placement suggests a decisive result.
Where is the Moon?
The Moon, another key significator of the common people, sits in the final degree of Cancer, a critical or anaretic degree. Late degrees often indicate something about to shift—a moment of culmination and transition. Does this foreshadow a change of government? It’s a possibility, but we’ll need to examine the chart in more depth.
Mars is also tightly conjunct the Leo Midheaven, and the Moon is just about to enter Leo. Since Leo rules the 10th house of government, this suggests continuity more than disruption. The people may be sticking with the current government. There’s movement, yes—but it looks like stability wins out.
Deep Undercurrents and Global Influence
A stationing Pluto conjunct the IC adds a layer of gravity to this election. This isn’t just business as usual—something foundational is rumbling beneath the surface. Think mining, historical alliances, undersea cables, nuclear energy, and questions of national sovereignty. With Uranus on the Descendant, the role of foreign influence and international volatility is undeniable. The 7th house, ruling "the other," includes not just international players but adversarial forces. The outcome of this election is clearly entangled with shifting global power structures, economic uncertainty, and geopolitical instability.
The Moon’s Aspects
The Moon, currently out of bounds, is separating from a sextile to Uranus (we don’t want more shocks), and a trine to Saturn (we don’t want more austerity either). It’s applying to a trine with Neptune and Venus in Aries in the 5th house. This speaks to a desire for joy, ease, and family-friendly policies—subsidised childcare, inclusive family support, and even leisure (imagine a refreshing drink on a warm sunny day at a sporting event). But don’t get too comfy—an opposition to Pluto follows. Some difficult truths are emerging, ones we might prefer to ignore but will be forced to confront. Issues around mining, energy, and control are impossible to avoid. With Pluto linked to nuclear energy, this could tie into debates around the Coalitions’s nuclear policy. Alternatively, it may point to infiltration, secrecy, or a reckoning with hidden power.
Who’s Who in the Chart?
The 10th house, symbolising the current government, is ruled by the Sun. This neatly aligns with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, represented here by a steady Sun in Taurus. The Sun sits in the 6th house—topics of public health, workers’ rights, and care for the vulnerable will define this election. Think Medicare, the PBS, unions, and fair wages. The Sun’s strength in Taurus suggests Albanese is perceived as reliable and stable on these issues.
Meanwhile, the Moon, another significator of the public, is in nurturing Cancer—but she’s out of bounds, possibly reflecting frustration or a sense of being unheard. There’s a strong emotional undercurrent around housing, caregiving professions, women’s health, and domestic violence.
With Aquarius on the IC, the opposition party is ruled by Saturn, placing Peter Dutton under its domain. The Moon is separating from a trine to Saturn, which suggests an initially-sympathetic electorate is moving away from the opposition. Add Pluto stationing on the angle, and it seems likely there are intense internal pressures within the Liberal Party.
Venus-Neptune and the Role of Independents
The Moon’s applying trine to Neptune and Venus in Aries, in the 5th house, could also signal a need to cooperate with independents—Venus symbolising alliance and harmony, Aries representing individual actors. Forming government may require collaboration, not a solo mission.
Saturn (signifcator of the oppostion) is also applying to Neptune and Venus, but in Aries, Saturn is in fall. Combined with Pluto on the IC, this spells trouble for Dutton—possibly even a leadership challenge or loss of his seat.
Final Thoughts: My Judgement
So my judgement? It won’t be as close as expected and Labor will get over the line. Based on this chart, the 2025 Australian federal election result is likely to be more decisive than anticipated, with Labor retaining government. The fixed signs angles, Sun, and the Moon’s imminent ingress into Leo all point to stability, not upheaval. The ALP appears reliable on topics that matter to voters, while the LNP is under pressure from Pluto with public sentiment (the Moon) moving away from Saturn. Leadership changes in the LNP seem not just likely, but perhaps inevitable; there will certainly be internal reckonings post-election.
This is no ordinary vote. With multiple angular planets, a stationing Pluto, and the Moon shifting signs, this election marks a pivotal point in Australia’s political and social evolution.
