2025 = 9; Mangal hi Mangal!
As the years pass, time continues to script a story filled with experiences, hurdles, and growth. A shift in the calendar year often signals a profound turning point, shaping the course of our destinies.
Year after year, we have accurately provided annual predictions unlike any others in our field. The year 2024 (or should we say, ’24) stood out with such remarkable predictions too — from spot-on gold spikes, to NAMO and Trump victories; from Indian Cricket Team’s T20 victory and KKR’s IPL triumph to notable stock market turbulence. Year after year, our insights have proven reliable, and we are grateful for the trust placed in us.
Now, as we step into this very merry and transformative season, we bring you fresh guidance for the journey ahead. Presenting India’s foremost Astro-Numerologist, Sanjay B Jumaani, with his exclusive predictions for the year 2025 – aided by his children, Aneesh and Vaishnevi!
It is often said, “Numbers are the closest we can get to the handwriting of God.” Looking back, we were among the first to foresee the dire challenges of 2020, when we cautioned in 2019 itself that China would be a cause for global concern—long before the world knew about the Coronavirus.
In the same video, we identified 2021 and 2022 as years of healing, stability, and renewal, and we are grateful to have been proven correct.
Similarly, back in 2022, we highlighted 2023 as a year marked by growth and a return to normalcy. What followed is that our predictions about gold, oil, the discovery of lithium, the booming real estate sector, and the resilience of the Indian economy amid global disruptions—all came true.
For 2024, our foresight in 2023 pointed to a year of extremes and volatility, even when the stock markets were thriving in 2023. Unfortunately, the world did witness significant turbulence, from market instability to geopolitical conflicts and escalating wars.
A fair warning – every number has two sides, just like a coin. No number is lucky or unlucky, because if this was the case, then only those ruled by unlucky numbers would be found behind bars or hospitals!
2025 which totals to 9, is ruled by the fiery and volcanic Mars. It is a red, hot planet with abundant energy that is similar to nuclear energy – which can make or break!
Those ruled by #9 are often considered to be very straight-forward, so it is recommended for us to use a surgeon’s knife approach, especially this year. This number is associated with hastiness, impulsivity and stubbornness. So in this Mars governed year, we have to be more mindful and cautious, and hence use the energies bestowed by Mars in the right directions.
With that in mind, it’s time to embrace the opportunities of what is likely to be a dynamic and high-energy year ahead. Are you prepared to discover what the numbers reveal about the New Year? Remember, pace yourself and don’t lose steam!
Weather
We have been consistent in predictions about the weather ever since we started annual prediction videos and articles.
Unfortunately, our warnings for record-breaking temperatures in 2024 came true as it is set to be the hottest year on record. Moreover, we predicted very poor Air Quality Indexes and New Delhi faced the worst ever AQI. We had also said that due to Saturn being cold on the inside, it is likely that winters could be extreme too – and that is what transpired. For instance, Mumbai experienced 14 degree climate after decades; and North India too was much cooler than usual. You may call it the El Nino effect, we call it the Jumaani Jaadu!
As for 2025 (9, Mars – red and fiery), there are chances of it being the hottest year on record, even preceding 2024. What may follow is an even hotter 2026, governed by 1, Sun, the hottest. This year, there seem to be chances of wildfires, heatwaves and volcanic eruptions too, and we hope we are wrong.
While factually the temperatures of Mars are towards the freezing side, Numerologically and metaphorically it is the planet of action and intensity, and is also known to be a fiery planet due to its abundance of energy. But this property can cause winter’s to be extreme as well.
Industries
In 2024, as predicted, boom of Artificial Intelligence, technology, digital revolution and many new discoveries were witnessed. In fact, the technology sector could be considered the winner of this year! We had also indicated that the demand for normal and high-end vehicles would increase, and this year, luxury cars and SUV sales saw a spike of 20.5%! Also, we predicted that mining would do well in 2024, and China recently discovered the World’s largest gold reserve, worth around 83 billion dollars!
With regards to 2025, manufacturing can be the highlight of the year, and India could well become a force to reckon with, with regards to the same. Because of an increase in manufacturing, energy and power consumption too will see a hike, example alternate energy, solar energy, wind energy, green resources, bio resources, renewable energy like Hydrogen-powered resources, etc. Because another name for Mars is Energy!
All other industries marked by action, energy, speed and transformation, resonate with the qualities of Mars and can do well this year. Military and defence-related advancements may also be seen through arms and ammunition, satellite radars, vehicles and drones, and sadly weapons of mass destruction and warship too. We hope though that none of these will be used. In fact, Defence stocks too may rise. Security and cyber-security and other forms of defence like Martial Arts, Boxing and aggressive sports like Rugby and Kabbadi too should do well. Fitness and health related industries like Gyms, Yoga spaces, etc. are also likely to perform well.
Healthcare and pharmaceuticals along with surgeons are also expected to do well, though we hope not too well. Industries requiring fire such as restaurants, cafes and hotels will also see new highs, as a result of which food delivery applications like Swiggy-Zomato too could perform better, and Chefs could cook up storms too! Two of the world famous chefs, Gordon Ramsay is a Scorpion, ruled by Mars and back home, Sanjeev Kapoor is an Arian, also ruled by Mars.
Adventure activities involving adrenaline rush like sky diving, para-sailing will prosper too. Additionally, Mars-aligned industries like Aerospace, Transport & Logistics, and Chemical & Fertilizer industries are expected to perform well in 2025. The demand for silver will rise, along with which iron, steel and cement will also grow. This would lead to betterment in engineering and infrastructure sectors this year.
Those in positions of authority, speakers, preachers, writers, Martial Arts, Archery, Wrestling, Racing, Rocket Science will do well. Sports and Sports broadcasting, and professions that require strong and prompt actions like Politics, medicine, flying, etc., are also expected to prosper this year.
Entertainment
Our clients Kolkata Knight Riders who changed their jersey colour and logo on our behest, lifted their 3rd trophy this year, which we had predicted a couple of months before the finals itself. Not just KKR, but our prediction about the Indian Cricket Team’s T20 World Cup victory was engraved on our social media walls much before it happened.
We had even predicted that Pushpa 2 would not only surpass its prequel , but would also become an all-time blockbuster! It added up to 33, the same number as DDLJ or RRR. That is the power of 6, Venus (Entertainment).
In 2023, Libra (6) governed Ranbir Kapoor gave Animal (15) in his lucky 42nd (6) year, which was also deemed by many as his best performance. His wife Alia Bhatt and daughter Raha Kapoor are also ruled by his lucky #6!
Also, we predicted a 2nd baby for Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma, 2 years ago! This is because Anushka is in her lucky 37th year whereas Virat in his 36Th. In fact, we also predicted their first baby Vamika, well before they believed they would have a baby soon.
As for 2025, we predict action, adventure and politics related movies to do well. Salman Khan with his upcoming movie Sikander could indeed live up to the title. Movies like War 2 and Baaghi 4 may also do well, being action oriented.
Another follower of the science, #9 Akshay Kumar is likely to perform well with Housefull 5 which totals to his favourable number and is also set release in his favourable period. #Jumaanified Ajay Devgn who is an Arian (9) too can garner fame for De De Pyaar De 2 which again adds to a number and is releasing on a date which is favourable for him.
Metals
Since we started predicting about the yellow metal, we have hit the Golden spot rightly year after year (can be seen on YouTube too). Right from 2019 to 2024 (except for 2021), we gave our thumbs up to invest in Gold. All these years saw an upside except ironically 2021, which got our thumbs down! Our prediction for Silver improving and performing better than 2022 was also true. For 2024 too we indicated that Gold would outshine itself, and that’s exactly what happened!
But for 2025, we think Silver may well be the new Gold, and the metal of the year. It is likely to be a sizzler! But Gold too will not disappoint you – buy whenever there is a dip.
Disclaimer – invest at your own risk!
Where to Invest
From 2016-2023, we gave SENSEX two thumbs ups, but in 2015 which had also totalled to 8, we had warned that markets would crash. And that’s exactly what happened – markets fell by 25% that year. For 2024 too, we weren’t too optimistic. We had said that there would be many red lines and again, that’s what transpired. The markets were more in the red in 2024 than they had been since 2020. We had clearly said, ‘Buy when there is blood on the streets’, and many smart investors waited patiently for the dip and made a fortune from the prediction.
2025 in comparison to 2024 is likely to be better for the stock markets, on a small condition that the energies of Mars aren’t used destructively by political leaders. Else, geopolitical conditions may shift stock markets to shock markets too! But we do expect better from 2026 which totals to 1, Sun, which represents leadership and recognition.
India and Economy
In 2011, we had said that 2019 (3) onwards India’s growth story would begin and it would eventually become a ‘Sone ki Chidiya’, also that it will remain the fastest growing major economy in the world. And that is what happened too! With God’s grace, India is not as affected by the global turmoil while our neighbours are sadly not performing too well.
Our followers are aware that we had accurately predicted all three of PM Narendra Modi Ji’s victories months before the elections, and had confidently said that the first two would be cakewalks. But this year, when even all exit polls said ‘Abki Baar, Chaar Sau Paar’, we had stuck to our prediction from 7 months before the result day that while Modi Ji would win, the victory wouldn’t be a cakewalk; it wouldn’t be an easy one. And that is exactly what transpired!
2025 (9) would be another landmark year when we would be in our 78th (6) year of Independence. India adds to 12 (3, Jupiter), while Bharat adds to 15 (6, Venus), so 3, 6 and 9 being a family of numbers are lucky for India. We are also likely to improve relations with China (15, 6) and Canada (15, 6), as India adds to 3 and the year is 2025 (9)! Make In India products may receive more recognition and manufacturing activities too should perform better.
The World
In 2023 itself, we had predicted that in 2024 there could be a catastrophe in routine functioning and we may have to face an economic turmoil. And unfortunately, we weren’t wrong.
We had said that the end of 2024 and 2025 may be disruptive for USA and it would also take down other countries along with it. Not only did USA stock markets affect other countries, but Biden administration increased global tensions too through involvement in the Ukraine-Russia troubles.
As for 2025, even though we had predicted Trump to become President months before the elections – he along with USA might be responsible for disturbing the economies of other countries by applying tariffs. Along with the USA, other places that add up to numbers not so favourable with 2025 are Iraq, Dubai, Switzerland, Bangladesh, amongst few others.
In 2025 which adds to 9, the energies of Mars may be seen. There may be some over protective nations which under the pretence of security, use destruction to safeguard themselves or attack. Now if that implies protection or destruction, only time will tell. We don’t know the mindset of political leaders. Even though the after effects of the current war can be seen in 2025, we are hoping and predicting that this year can be the beginning of the end of war.
And on an Economic note, unlike last year, this year we can expect recovery and bouncing back from tough circumstances. And 2026 totals to 1, Sun, which indicates new day, new beginning!
People to do Well
Arians, Scorpions, Pisceans, Sagittarians, Taureans and Librans, and others governed by 3 (Jupiter), 6 (Venus) and 9 (Mars) are likely to have a good year ahead. But the others must not get discouraged, as you may even be in your personal important year.
As said always, those born on any date can usually excel if their current age is the same as their principal Number or a number amongst their family of numbers. To know which year is important for you – consider this example: 29/5/2006 born D Gukesh became the World’s Youngest Chess Champion in his 19th (1) year, and 1, 2, 4 and 7 are a family of numbers. Similarly, 1, 3, 5 and 6 are best suited for those ruled by 5 or 8, and 3, 6 and 9 for those ruled by the same.
Health, Colours
Mars is a fiery planet, so use the energies wisely by working out and staying active. Gymming, jogging, brisk walking and sports must be given importance. Guard against heat and heat-related issues, and rash drivers must seriously improve on their driving too.
The colours of the year are pink, red, blue and white, but don’t overdo red.
Tip of the Year
2025 totals to 9, Mars. So our strongest recommendation this year would be to write the whole ‘2025’ instead of ‘ ’25 ‘, which totals to 7, representing psychic Neptune. This number offers success after strife and delays. Use the energies of Mars wisely and it shall help you in all your positive, well-thought endeavours. It is a good number from a materialistic standpoint too.
So, this year, make your New Year’s resolution to write 2025!
Predictions for Numbers 1-9
Number 1:
People born on the 1st, 10th, 19th, and 28th of any month fall under the influence of Number 1, ruled by the Sun.
Numbers 1, Sun, and 9, Mars, are on extreme sides of the spectrum—polar opposites in their energy but connected by their fiery, intense nature.
The Sun’s energy, when channelized properly, fuels your ideas and ambitions, helping you turn visions into reality. If left unchecked, however, it can become chaotic, like a grenade on the verge of explosion. Channelling this energy constructively is key to personal success.
In relationships, patience, charm, and diplomacy will help you build trust and maintain strong connections. Without these, conflicts and fallouts with loved ones are possible. Balance is also essential for your health. Learn to draw a line between over-activity and inaction to maintain physical and emotional well-being.
The year 2026, adding up to Number 1, should be more favourable for you. Treat this year as a year of investment, laying the groundwork for future achievements. If success is your goal, start your preparations now—this is the time to act.
Examples of some famous people ruled by #1:
Dhirubhai and Mukesh Ambani, Ratan Tata, Indira Gandhi, Aishwarya Rai and Sunil Gavaskar
Number 2:
People born on the 2nd, 11th, 20th, and 29th of any month are ruled by the Moon, symbolizing sensitivity, intuition, and creativity. Cancer borns too are ruled by #2. While these qualities give you a dreamy and imaginative nature, it is essential to overcome lethargy, restlessness, and mood swings to transform your ideas into reality.
The next two years after 2025 are set to be path-breaking, provided that this year you focus on planning, research, and development—the foundations of success. Avoid distractions and conquer over-sensitivity by immersing yourself in meaningful work, which will keep you focused and balanced.
Financial discipline is key for you, as you may often lean toward a spendthrift nature. Remember the saying: “A penny saved is a penny earned.” Budgeting your expenses will help you achieve long-term stability.
In matters relationships, patience is crucial. Timing matters, and starting too early could lead to undesired outcomes. Trust that things will align at the right moment, just as they should in a well-paced race.
Your state of mind plays a significant role in your health. Staying cheerful and positive is the ultimate secret to well-being. Surround yourself with people who inspire you and lift your spirits—this will help you maintain emotional harmony and clarity.
Examples of some famous people ruled by #2:
Rajesh Khanna, Shah Rukh Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, Sanjay Dutt
Number 3:
People born on the 3rd, 12th, 21st, and 30th of any month are ruled by Jupiter, the largest planet in the solar system. Pisceans and Sagittarians too are governed by Jupiter. Jupiter’s influence makes Number 3 individuals naturally ambitious, optimistic, and driven to achieve great heights. Your ability to view the world “from the top” is your strength, as you strive for excellence and leadership in every endeavour.
Patience will be key to your success. While your investments—whether financial, personal, or professional—can multiply and bear fruit, it is essential to avoid impatience or hasty decisions. Remember, lasting success is built over time. Equally, try not to let your authoritative nature turn into dominance, as this could alienate people or create unnecessary adversaries. True leadership lies in inspiring cooperation rather than imposing control.
As you continue to chase success, balance will be your guiding principle. The rat race may tempt you to push yourself too hard, but this could come at the cost of your health or relationships. Never forget that even the greatest leaders take breaks—stepping back allows you to recharge and return with renewed energy.
On the financial front, the year ahead promises to be more rewarding compared to 2024. However, your greatest wealth will always be the love and support of those closest to you. Success can feel hollow without cherished relationships, so make time for your loved ones. You will be able to afford more vacations, so make best use of this advice.
Examples of some famous people ruled by #3:
Rajnikanth, Warren Buffet, Kareena Kapoor and yours truly, SBJ
Number 4:
Those born on the 4th, 13th 22nd or 31st of any month are governed by number 4, Uranus. Leos too, are partially ruled by #4. Uranus is linked with #1, the Sun. So, you are also indirectly influenced by the rays of the Sun.
This dual energy makes you a mixed bag, full of surprises, challenges, and opportunities. Life may not always be a bed of roses, but your ability to see the silver lining will define your journey.
The year 2026, 1 (Sun), aligns with your strengths and provides opportunities for growth. So, treat 2025 as a learning experience—every lesson, even in adversity, will be a stepping stone toward success if you embrace it.
Your outspoken nature can sometimes work against you, so practice patience and active listening. Play your cards close to your chest, especially in professional matters. Your ability to strategize and research will be your greatest asset.
Health-wise, battling mental restlessness will require adopting alternate remedies like meditation or holistic practices. Regular workouts will help keep physical ailments at bay.
With your natural flair for research and development, you will likely stay busy—and that’s a good thing. Like a bolt of lightning, your energy is powerful, but it’s true impact lies in being channelized to produce results. Focus on your dynamic potential, and success will follow.
Examples of some famous people ruled by #4:
Barack Obama, Kishore Kumar, Sridevi, Preity Zinta
Number 5:
People born on the 5th, 14th, and 23rd of any month, and Geminis and Virgos are ruled by Mercury, the fastest-moving planet in the solar system. Just like Mercury, Number 5 individuals are quick-witted, adaptable, and restless, but their energy must be carefully harnessed.
In 2025, a Mars-influenced year, the fiery energy combined with Mercury’s volatility could swing fortunes like a pendulum – while there is an upside, there may also be a flip side. Overcoming fear and insecurities will be key to navigating these swings.
To remain steady, control your mind by focusing on constructive thoughts and surrounding yourself with positive-minded people. Temperament is another challenge; avoid impulsive reactions. Whether it’s in speech or actions (like driving), practice diplomacy. Like a surgeon carefully wielding a knife, your words and decisions should be precise and thoughtful to avoid unintended harm.
Financially, be cautious. Your ideas, while innovative, may prove too expensive or risky. Avoid speculative ventures, as impulsiveness could burn a hole in your pocket. Instead, take calculated steps. For those in manufacturing, patience will be rewarded with slow but steady growth.
In matters of relationshios, delays might frustrate you, but remember—time flies. By staying focused, balanced, and patient, you can turn Mercury’s speed into a powerful force for progress. The good news is that a more promising 2026 lies ahead.
Examples of some famous people ruled by #5:
Aamir Khan, Rohit Shetty, Abhishek Bachchan
Number 6:
People born on the 6th, 15th, and 24th of any month are ruled by Venus, the planet of love, luxury, and harmony. Venus also governs Librans and Taureans, gifting you with charm, creativity, and a desire for the finer things in life.
A better year beckons you, with opportunities that may have slipped away in the past making a comeback. For those seeking greener pastures, this is a favorable time—provided you have a concrete plan. Whether you’re considering entrepreneurship or new projects, your vision and preparation can lead to success.
In matters of love and relationships, and also to mend broken relationships – this is the time to put your best foot forward, as Mars can bless you with diplomacy. Relationships are likely to remain in a safety zone, but it’s essential to keep expectations realistic. For those planning to purchase a vehicle or property, the year looks promising—just ensure decisions are well thought-out.
Venus’ love for beauty can make impulsive shopping tempting, but caution is advised to avoid burning holes in your pockets. Financial balance will be key.
Health-wise, the year shows improvement, but your sweet tooth could be a concern. If you cannot curb your tendency towards over-indulgence with regards to what you eat and drink, then try to burn out those calories by taking energy from Mars and being more active. By maintaining balance in all areas—finances, relationships, and health—you can harness Venus’ blessings to create a fulfilling year.
Examples of some famous people ruled by #6:
Sachin Tendulkar, Anil Kapoor, Varun Dhawan, A R Rehman, Madhuri Dixit
Number 7:
People born on the 7th, 16th, and 25th of any month are ruled by Neptune, a planet of introspection, dreams, and spirituality. Additionally, you are indirectly influenced by the Moon (Number 2), which governs Cancer ruled people, enhancing your intuitive and sensitive nature. This combination gives you a unique perspective, allowing you to see beyond the obvious and approach life with wisdom.
The groundwork you lay this year will play a pivotal role in shaping a more productive and enriching 2026 as well as 2027. Consider this time as the phase of sowing seeds—a critical stage that determines the eventual harvest. Delays or hindrances may test your patience, but do not view them as setbacks. Instead, treat them as partners in your growth, offering lessons that strengthen your foundation.
One of your key challenges will be avoiding mindless arguments and emotional outbursts. Such behavior can tarnish your reputation and strain relationships. Instead, practice calmness and diplomacy, which will elevate your image and earn you respect.
On the positive side, you will feel more mentally energetic, which can reflect positively on your health. Increased travel is also on the cards—sometimes for work, but you excel at blending work and pleasure. By embracing patience and focusing on your groundwork, you can transform this year into a period of preparation and personal success.
Examples of some famous people ruled by #7:
M S Dhoni, Ekta Kapoor, Karan Johar, Saif Ali Khan, Irrfan
Number 8:
People born on the 8th, 17th, and 26th of any month are ruled by Saturn, the planet of discipline, trials, and perseverance. Saturn also governs Capricorns, Aquarians, and Librans.
After a year that may have felt extreme, the tide is shifting, and new beginnings are on the horizon. However, success will require tolerance and steady effort—qualities that align perfectly with Saturn’s influence.
Your confidence will be on the rise, so don’t let the momentum slow down. Push harder toward your goals, as this isn’t the time to rest or pause. Saturn rewards hard work and patience, so stay focused and determined. If you’re looking to form a business alliance, be patient—timing will be key. Those in speculative industries such as the stock market should exercise caution and minimize risks before making bold moves.
Health should be a priority, particularly guarding against accidents and heat-related issues. Regular walks and workouts can help you maintain both physical and mental well-being.
Remember, what seems like a glass half empty is also half full—your perspective will shape your success this year. Some of you who are experiencing bad times can see the beginning of the end in 2025, and 2026 could be a more promising year. We hope we are right!
Examples of some famous people ruled by #8:
Narendra Modi, Shilpa Shetty, John Abraham, Sourav Ganguly and Anil Kumble
Number 9:
People born on the 9th, 18th, and 27th of any month are governed by Mars, the planet of energy, action, and determination. Mars also rules Scorpios and Arians, making you bold, ambitious, and fiery. With 2025 adding up to 9, your own primary number, this year is set to bring significant events—expect the unexpected, but mostly in a positive light.
You are likely to be in top form, capable of achieving great things and setting higher standards for yourself. However, it is important to remain tolerant with others; not everyone possesses your drive or ability to lead. You may lead from the front and be a trendsetter or an influencer. Channelize your boundless energy wisely, ensuring it benefits those around you. Your loved ones and colleagues may look up to you, holding high expectations, so this is your chance to inspire and uplift.
For those seeking a career change, this could be a favorable time—take calculated risks, but avoid impulsiveness. If you’re single, opportunities for romance may blossom, making it a great time to explore relationships.
Guard against recklessness—both mentally and physically. People admire strength but not arrogance. Fitness will be key; many Number 9’s thrive when active. If you don’t burn off your explosive energy, lethargy may set in. Keep moving, stay balanced, and make this year a powerful transformation for yourself and those around you.
Examples of some famous people ruled by #9:
Akshay Kumar, Salman Khan, Priyanka Chopra, Bruce Lee, Suresh Raina
Wishing all readers a very Happy Mission Mars, we mean a very Happy New Year!
Remember that success is a blend of good fortune and hard work.
