Australia’s Economic Reality- 2025
Why Mining May Be the Only Sector That Holds the Country Together.
Looking at the Bigger Picture: A Hypothesis for Australia’s Outlook in 2025 - By Delahrose Roobie Myer
As we enter 2025, Australia will face a landscape shaped by shifting global dynamics, economic pressures, and evolving geopolitical strategies. This article presents a hypothesis on the nation's potential trajectory, examining key industries, financial trends, and external influences that may redefine Australia’s position on the world stage. By analysing the broader picture, we explore the forces at play and the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead in this pivotal year.
As 2025 unfolds, Australia faces an economic crossroads. The nation’s overreliance on real estate, retail, and finance—sectors built on speculation and debt— could leave it dangerously exposed to global financial instability. If an economic collapse, trade war escalation, or Trump’s potential revaluation of gold triggers a systemic reset, mining may be the only pillar strong enough to sustain Australia’s economy.
While governments, media, and real estate agents continue pushing the illusion of economic stability, the astrology 2025 suggests a reckoning is coming—one that will force Australia to confront its economic vulnerabilities and recognise where the actual value lies.
The Cracks Are Forming: Australia’s Economic Fragility
Real Estate: A Bubble Ready to Burst
• Despite high interest rates and reduced affordability, Sydney and Melbourne property prices remain artificially inflated.
• Media reports of “strong sales” are likely industry-driven propaganda, masking a market propped up by speculation rather than actual demand.
• With high household debt, declining consumer confidence, and global financial uncertainty, Australian real estate is unstable.
Retail & Commercial Property: The Next Economic Casualty
• Retail is struggling worldwide, with luxury brands shutting down in London—a clear sign even the wealthy are cutting back.
• Restaurants and physical retail businesses are collapsing under rising costs and declining consumer demand.
• Commercial landlords refuse to lower rents, yet businesses are shutting down, leading to ghost malls and empty storefronts.
• Even major supermarkets aren’t immune—consumers prioritise essentials and cutting discretionary spending.
Trade War & Trump’s Gold Move: The Final Blow?
• Trump is weaponising tariffs, using trade as leverage to force countries like Canada and Australia into submission.
• If Trump revalues gold to back the U.S. dollar, the financial system could reset overnight, sending markets into turmoil.
• Australia, which stores nearly all its gold reserves (As of December 2024, the Reserve Bank of Australia holds approximately only/ -79.87 tonnes of gold) in London and has not repatriated them, would be left with no financial shield in a crisis.
• A global trade war could weaken Australia’s economy, forcing it to rely entirely on its strongest sector—mining.
China, BRICS & Australia’s Resource Dependence.
China’s Evolving Relationship with Australian Commodities
• China has historically relied on Australian iron ore, with Australia supplying over 60% of China’s iron ore imports in recent years.
• However, China is actively diversifying its supply chains, investing in new mines in Africa and Brazil to reduce reliance on Australian exports.
• A slowdown in China’s construction sector may reduce demand for Australian iron ore in the long term.
BRICS & A Multipolar World Economy
• BRICS nations are working to secure their own raw materials and forming strategic partnerships to lessen their reliance on Western-dominated markets.
• While Australia remains a major global supplier of resources, BRICS nations are exploring alternative trade routes, new mining operations, and stronger ties within the alliance.
• If the U.S. enforces trade restrictions, China may increase Australian commodity purchases—but this is not guaranteed.
Interest Rates, The RBA & The Illusion of Economic Stability
Is The Media is Selling False Hope
The RBA’s “we might cut rates” narrative could be psychological manipulationdesigned to keep consumers from panicking and delaying economic fallout.
• Just like real estate agents push “strong market” stories to keep buyers engaged, central banks use media messaging to influence sentiment.
• Unless global conditions improve, interest rate cuts won’t fix Australia’s deeper economic problems—declining consumer spending, high household debt, and weak export diversification.
Green Startups: High Risk, High Vulnerability
Renewable energy companies and green tech startups will struggle in an economic downturn due to reliance on government incentives and investor funding. In a crisis, governments will prioritise energy security over green transition goals.
With capital already leaving speculative ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) funds, green startups could struggle or even collapse due to lack of available funding.
The Reset is Inevitable—and when you get to the core of it - Mining Remains the Only Real Stronghold
Regardless of interest rate changes, media spin, or temporary stock market optimism, Australia’s economy will still struggle under structural weaknesses.
Even if interest rates drop, it might delay the inevitable—but it won’t prevent it.
The Government Will Rely on Mining for Survival
As tax revenues from retail and property collapse, mining royalties will become the government’s lifeline
The government may expand mining operations to prevent a deeper financial crisis.
• Astrologically, 2025 signals a reality check—Pluto in Aquarius, Neptune in Aries, and Uranus in Gemini all point to illusion-breaking events and financial transformation.
Mining is The Backbone That Will Keep Australia Afloat - As other sectors crumble, mining could be the last economic pillar holding Australia together.
Global Demand for Commodities Remains Strong
• Regardless of economic conditions, the world still needs iron ore, coal, uranium, and copper—resources Australia produces in abundance.
• If gold is revalued, gold miners like BHP, Northern Star, and Evolution Mining will skyrocket in value.
• Lithium is struggling, but key metals like copper and uranium will remain essential for industrial and energy sectors.
Unlike Real Estate, Mining Produces Real Wealth
• Mining generates substantial export revenue, contributing tangible economic value.
• Countries can survive without overpriced housing markets, but they cannot function without essential resources.
2025: is fast becoming a Reality Check for Australia - The cosmic forces of 2025 align with this looming economic shift, forcing Australia to face its unsustainable financial structures and return to real, tangible wealth.
Pluto in Aquarius: The Death of Old Financial Systems
• Pluto’s transit through Aquarius (2023–2044) is dissolving outdated power structures and breaking apart financial illusions built on speculation and debt.
• The illusion of debt-driven economies, real estate bubbles, and financial manipulation is crumbling.
• Those who hold tangible, physical assets (gold, resources, land) will thrive—while those relying on speculation will collapse.
Uranus in Gemini: Trade & Currency Shifts
• Uranus briefly enters Gemini in 2025 before retrograding back into Taurus, signalling turbulent shifts in trade policies, currency values, and economic alliances.
• If Trump revalues gold or reshapes U.S. trade policies, Australia will have no choice but to adjust.
Neptune & Saturn in Aries: The Push for Resource Extraction
• Neptune (illusion) and Saturn (reality) will collide in Aries, forcing financial markets to confront their delusions.
• Mars rules Aries, the planet of iron, steel, and industry—a direct cosmic alignment with Australia’s resource sector.
Mining is emerging as Australia’s stronghold. If the global economy collapses under the weight of financial manipulation, debt, and trade wars, Australia will have only one remaining pillar of strength—its mining industry.
Potentially- the forecast as it currently appears is revealing a lot, unless there are some drastic changes to the trajectory ahead.
✅ Real estate will crash.
✅ Retail will struggle.
✅ Commercial property will become worthless.
✅ Trade disruptions will expose Australia’s economic vulnerabilities.
Yet, mining will remain strong.
For decades, Australia’s leadership has relied on real estate speculation and financial services rather than securing long-term economic stability. But the real foundation of Australia’s wealth lies beneath its soil.
The question is whether policymakers will recognise this before it’s too late—or continue chasing illusions until an economic collapse forces them to wake up.
The Reset is Coming and 2025—Is fast becoming the Year of Reckoning
As an astrologer deeply interested in the bigger picture, I continuously observe how cosmic patterns weave their way into our collective landscape. While I am not a financial advisor, I remain vigilant in cross-referencing astrological insights with real-world events, tracking the shifts that signal the tides of change.
2025 will be a defining year—one of reckoning. The astrology suggests that old economic models will collapse, illusions will shatter, and those who hold real, tangible assets will thrive while speculative markets fall.
To navigate what’s ahead, Australia must return to its strongest foundation—natural resources.
I hope you enjoyed this article and the research that went into its analysis. The shifts are happening, and as we move forward, one thing is certain: the reset is coming.
