「今から」 means "from now on" and 「これから」 means "from here on" or "from here". So,
これから actually has 2 meanings.

So are the "from here on" meaning of 「これから」 and "from now on" meaning of
「今から」always interchangeable in Japanese? In english I guess they almost
everywhere are but "from now on" is used more because "from here on" can also
be used to signify place.

Please provide examples if they are different in usage.

question
meaning
Are「これから」 and 「今から」 interchangeable？
今から tends to refer to relatively short time frames, for example the next few
hours (e.g., 今から野球をしませんか, 今から風呂に入ります, 今から話すことをよく聞きなさい). これから can safely refer
to both short and very long time. For example, これからの10年 is more natural than
今からの10年, although the latter is not incorrect. Likewise, since "from now on"
in English usually refers to very long time, I think これから(は)(ずっと) is the
normal choice.
