Red never wins: Ominous signs for RCB as Mars rules 2025; check RCB's chances in IPL 2025 final, decoded by numerology
In the colourful world of IPL, superstition and symbolism often collide with sport. One peculiar trend stands out. No IPL team that wears red has ever lifted the trophy. Red represents Mars, as per numerology and astrology. Royal Challengers Bengaluru, despite having reached the finals three times, have repeatedly faltered at the last hurdle. Punjab Kings, another team in red, haven't managed to win an IPL trophy yet. The only exception was Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2016. They had red in their jersey but yellowish orange dominated. The year 2016 was a year that numerologically added up to 9, ruled by Mars. Interestingly, even they beat RCB, a team with more red in their jersey. Cut to 2025. The year again adds up to 9 (2+0+2+5), signalling another Mars-ruled cycle. June 3, the day of the final, also totals 9; Mars again. Mars in numerology represents raw energy, ambition, bold decisions and explosive performances. All these traits are associated with RCB's high-risk, high-reward gameplay. This alignment could signify a turning point. However, Mars is a double-edged sword. While it empowers bold warriors, it also brings unpredictability and sudden reversals. RCB's history is full of brilliance undone by collapse. It's a perfect mirror of Mars' volatile energy. IPL 2025 brings a strange sense of deja vu. With Virat Kohli in sublime form, a dependable bowling unit and Rajat Patidar's composed leadership, RCB do seem more balanced than before. Because of Mars, marked by high ambition and sudden reversals, hope often walks a tightrope. Mars may fire up RCB's campaign, but it can just as easily burn it down. Number 9's association with extremes warns of dramatic highs and crushing lows. It's 9 all around this year. It is the 18th IPL tournament, and a certain Jersey Number 18 is desperate to lift the trophy. Virat Kohli's zodiac is Scorpio, again ruled by number 9. Vijay Mallya (born on December 18) was warned not to overdo Red, according to numerologist Sanjay B Jumaani who gave the example of Kingfisher Airlines' downfall. In an Instagram post, he also referred to SpiceJet and Air India making losses. Mars, linked with number 9 in numerology, brings strong energy, risk and sudden changes. People with 9 in their charts may act quickly without thinking, which leads to ups and downs. Number 9 people may face fights, shocks or losses, especially in a year like 2025. Overconfidence is common with number 9, often causing a fast fall after success. Sanjay B Jumaani, in his Instagram post, bats for blue, and there's still a team in blue left in IPL 2025. If Mumbai Indians enter the final, RCB fans who believe in numerology may be concerned.

Saturn in Aries — expect possible fires, floods, upheaval and apocalyptic extremes
It's getting biblical, folks. On May 24th, Saturn, our dad jeans planet of structure, punishment, wisdom and limitations, will move out of the dosed and dazed puddle of Pisces and into the adrenaline dumpster fire of Aries. It's been nearly three decades since the ringed one last set up shop in the sign of the ram — and everyone will be feeling the effects of this transit. As Hong Kong-based certified counselor and award-winning astrologist Letao Wang explains, this transit is not simply a change in sign but the initiation of an entirely new astrological cycle. 'This marks the completion of the current Saturn cycle that began in 1996 and the initiation of a new 28-to-29-year cycle. This year is especially significant as Saturn hovers around 0°–1° of Aries, the very first degree of the zodiac,' Wang told The Post. 'This gives us a preview of what the next 2.5 years will feel like with Saturn in Aries — a dynamic, fiery energy that demands action and discipline.' To honor the transition, Wang encourages a day of introspection, asking ourselves what we have learned, accomplishments we've earned and karmic cycles we are ready to release. Saturn will burn in Aries from May 24th to September 1, 2025, when the planet will retrograde back into Pisces for a few months before returning to the cardinal fires of the ram from February 14, 2026, through April 13, 2028. Saturn is named for the Roman god of time, agriculture and renewal, often depicted with an errant party tit out of his toga and a sickle in his hand. This tool is apt when we consider the function of the planet in our lives and the perennial message that we reap what we sow and are only as strong as our ability to serve, sever and sacrifice. Once thought to be the last planet in the solar system, Saturn is known as a malefic and is associated with endings, limits, tough love and hard lessons. Saturn is a relatively slow-moving outer planet whose transits affect us on a personal and collective level. Saturn spends roughly three years in each zodiac sign — a pace that reflects the planet's attributes and detriments. Saturn is in its fall in the sign of Aries — meaning the planet cannot fully access or express its power. In kind, Wang maintains that this Saturn in Aries transit may inhibit impulsive behavior. 'Delays, obstacles and lessons in self-control will arise — yet this transit also teaches us strategic action, blending Aries' boldness with Saturn's discipline,' she said As a Mars-ruled sign, Aries is about conflict and Saturn represents the systematic — in this way, this transit is the art (Saturn) of war (Aries). The astrologer Palmst Ankur notes that Saturn is a cold and dry planet unsuitable for sustaining life, a fact that has historically led to Saturn being classified as 'malefic,' or destructive, by astrologers. Saturn is about structure, boundaries and diligence, while Aries — as a Mars-ruled sign, is about impulse and the bold pursuit of any desires — creating an acute tension within and around this transit. 'Saturn wants to inhibit, while Aries wants to burst forth, to grow. This incompatibility will mean certain significant challenges for the world,' Ankur told The Post. Ankur notes that this volatility will be amplified by other planetary transits. 'Pluto, the planet of radical resets, is in Aquarius, the sign of collectivities and social networks. Meanwhile, Uranus — the planet of sudden, dramatic change — will soon be in Gemini, the sign of overactive communication and intellectualism.' Add to the powder keg that Neptune, our planet of ideals and illusions, is also turning and burning in the impatient, imprudent sign of Aries. 'Imagine this cocktail and you can understand how the next few years will go.' Yikes. In terms of how that cocktail will shake out, Ankur notes that we'll be subject to extreme events and literal and metaphorical upheaval. 'Saturn represents the durability of structures, buildings and the earth itself. With Saturn in the sign of its fall, I anticipate severe earthquakes.' In addition, Ankur said that because Saturn is associated with extremes and Aries with extreme force — we could be subject to cold temperatures, harsh rains, flooding and droughts. In terms of human affairs, Saturn oversees governments and figureheads, particularly aged leaders. 'I expect leaders, especially those who are old, to fall from power or fall gravely sick or even die during this period,' said Ankur. Because Saturn represents boundaries and Aries is synonymous with the new and the emerging — borders could be created or redrawn during this transit. According to Wang, this transit will push humanity to reckon with lessons tied to Aries' energy. 'Are we too aggressive, selfish and impatient? While this transit may feel restrictive, if we embrace patience and discipline, we can harness Aries' fiery drive,' Wang noted. 'Under this influence, success favors those who plan before they leap. Consider it a cosmic masterclass in balancing passion with wisdom.' Regarding the influence of Saturn in Aries on our personal lives, Ankur said it's truly a matter of whether we've done the work, as the planet restricts and rewards in equal measure. 'The belief that 'Saturn is bad' is false. What Saturn will do will depend on two things — its condition in your birth chart, and whether or not your work has merited Saturn's rewards.' At its best, Saturn roots and reminds us that without depth, there can be no true growth. Because Saturn is setting itself up in a cardinal sign, the cardinal signs Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn will feel its effects most acutely. If you were born with Saturn in Aries in your birth chart, you're on the cusp of your Saturn return — meaning when the great malefic returns to the same sign and degree it was when you were born, heralding a time of trial and triumph. A Saturn return is an initiation that takes us deeper into adulthood, marking the lifelong process of growing up and growing closer to our essential selves. We experience a Saturn return between the ages of 27 to 31, 56 to 60 and 84 to 90. If you were born between 1996 and 1998, you're about to experience your first Saturn return — buckle up and bless up.

Venus direct in Aries 2025: What it means for your zodiac sign
At long last, on April 30, Venus, our planet of attraction, attachment and aesthetics, is trading the paint-splattered nightgown of Pisces for the flaming codpiece of Aries. Venus will stick around in these hellfires until June 6. Named for the Roman goddess of love and fertility, Venus is the fine, divine feminine counterpart to aggro jock strap warlord Mars. According to myth, Venus was born from sea foam and the severed schlong of Uranus, emerging fully formed and tits out in a scallop shell — with pleasure as her governing principle. Venus in Aries meaning 4 As Aries rules the head, the blood, and our sense of vitality, it is avowed first and foremost to live full, free, and without apology. Nadeesha – Etymologically, Venus derives from the Latin word for desire, and in kind, the planet informs both what we're drawn to and who and what we attract. Venus is, by default, the softer, subtler, feminine counterpart to masculine Mars, but in Aries, a Mars-ruled sign, Venus is a hot-blooded lover and a reckless spender, easily seduced by the new and the novel, unafraid of being direct about what it wants or shameless about getting it. This Venus pursues rather than suggests. It's 'get over here' versus 'come hither,' declared conquest over polite courting. It dares to fail and it pushes, relentlessly and sometimes gracelessly — but always forward. Bored by the vague, the tepid, and/or the flaccid, Venus in Aries worships at the altar of fun and drinks mightily from the cup of cortisol. Venus in Aries 2025 4 Venus in Aries worships at the altar of fun and drinks mightily from the cup of cortisol; it's bored by the vague, the tepid, and the flaccid. Ellen – As Aries rules the head, the blood, and our sense of vitality, it is avowed first and foremost to live full, free and without apology. This transit makes us hungry for action and fresh experiences but you can calibrate the heat and mitigate the collateral damage by channeling the highest expressions of Venus in Aries; directness, playfullness and a willingness to keep on keeping on while eschewing some of the less stellar qualities; impatience, petulance and a tendency to burn through money, people, patience and stop signs with astounding speed. Taking it back to the better angels, there's a spirit of unrefined and unrestrained fun when Venus is in Aries — it's the Venus placement of Lady Gaga and Elizabeth Taylor. This is a confidence born of fearlessness that encourages us all to crawl back on our bellies from the car crash of love with blood in our eyes and motor oil under our nail beds, saddle up next to a stranger and get ready to take the ride again. Venus in Aries man vs. Venus in Aries woman 4 Randy Savage and Hulk Hogan in 1996. Ron Galella Collection via Getty It is precisely this energy of starting anew that we can all channel during this transition. Aries loves a dare, and what greater dare than to shoot your shot and bare your heart? In terms of aesthetics, Venus in Aries is devil may care kitch bordering on overkill — if this placement were personified, it would be Macho Man Randy Savage — why choose between neon, fringe and western wear when you can have it all? The heat of this Venus transit is stabilized by the sun shining in the grounded, indulgent, Venus-ruled sign of Taurus, the zodiac's happy hedonist. Add to the tempering that Venus spent a chunk of the past few months retrograding in Aries, heralding a period of reflection and revision; thus, the planet's direct motion in this cardinal fire sign equates to a balanced kind of bold. 4 Aries loves a dare, and what greater dare than to shoot your shot and bare your heart? Minglu – The brilliant astrologer Born Under Saturn imparts, 'In this light, Venus becomes a compass, not just pointing to passion, but to purpose. And the steps we take under her influence are bolder because they are rooted, fierce because they are felt, clear because they have been questioned.' Considering this cardinal compass point, we can view this transit as a more refined Venus in Aries, one that draws pleasure not just from the thrill of the chase but from the kindling of connection, moving with intention rather than impulse, lighting flaming arrows but ensuring our aim is true and our desire real before we shoot our shot.
