Ever heard the expression that every ending is really a new beginning?
Well get ready for a whole lot of change because those words really sum up the energy
of the astrological rollercoaster that is 2025.
Yup, we are set for a year of significant transformation
and the culmination of some big cycles,
there’s plenty to get excited about in 2025!
What are you hoping for this year?
Comment below and let me know.
Firstly, this year is a year 9 in numerology,
which marks the closing of a cycle.
Not only that but the outer planets – Neptune, Uranus, and Pluto
– are right on the tip of entering new signs.
Saturn is also moving into Aries from Pisces in 2025.
All of these transits and cycles really point to the theme of endings and transformation.
Let’s dive into some of the big transits and alignments this year to be aware of:
Big Planetary Movers and Shakers
Saturn in Aries 2025- 2028
Saturn enters Aries on May 24,
but will backtrack again into Pisces from September to February 2026,
so what we see this year is more of a preview of what’s to come.
Saturn has a reputation for being a bit of a taskmaster.
It represents discipline, structure, responsibility, and diligence.
It can feel a little restrictive at times,
but as it transits into Aries we are going to feel a lot more power to face challenges,
lead with confidence and take ownership of our goals.
Think of it like this: Saturn plus Aries = taking the lead,
aligning with your purpose and standing up for what you believe in.
Collectively speaking, the energy will also focus on taking personal responsibility,
stepping up into bold decision making and leadership
and not shying away from disciplined action.
Neptune in Aries 2025 – 2039
Neptune begins a new chapter this year,
one that won’t unfold in full until 2026, due to it’s retrograde motion,
but the influence will be felt for the next 14 years.
Neptune in Aries is all about connecting more deeply with our authenticity
and strengthening spirituality and psychic awareness.
It’s a perfect blend of dreams and action,
an energy that inspires us to embody our dreams with courage,
and forge a new path ahead full of reawakened purpose.
Uranus in Gemini 2025 – 2032
Uranus moves into Gemini in July of this year, not settling fully until 2026.
This transit will spark massive change,
challenging the status quo, causing innovation, revolution and progress.
Whenever Uranus shifts signs,
it symbolizes breakthroughs, awakening, challenge and change.
Whether on an individual or societal level,
this planet is all about rapid transformation.
Gemini is all about communication, so this transit of Uranus,
the planet of change, could bring shifts to the world of media, press, and communication.
It might shake up how we interact and socialize,
or bring new focus to the way we think and mental processes.
Eclipse Season: The Plot Twists
Eclipses in 2025 are here to shake things up, as always!
The Lunar Nodes shift from the Aries-Libra axis into Pisces-Virgo axis in January.
This signifies a big shift in our collective focus.
We’ll be moving from a focus on relationships, individuality and self-assertion
towards more healing, surrender, and service.
The eclipses we have in 2025 also reflect those themes.
The energy will be urging us to align with purpose and meaning,
letting go of the need to be perfect and instead embracing compassion and gratitude.

Retrogrades: Cosmic Chill Periods
Retrogrades get a bad rap, but they’re really just opportunities to reflect and realign.
The main one to note this year is Mercury retrograde,
which happens four times instead of the usual three (because 2025 just had to be extra).
