The astrology of 2025 is set to bring significant changes, with major celestial shifts on the horizon. These transformations are unlikely to go unnoticed, as the coming year and beyond will mark dramatic transitions. The relationship between free will and levels of awareness on Earth will shape the results, with higher consciousness leading to more profound manifestations.

The year begins with two planets closest to Earth appearing to move backwards through the zodiac. The first six to seven weeks of 2025 are a prime time for planning and strategizing, as a calm, thoughtful approach will yield better outcomes than impulsive actions. From March 1 through mid-April, applying a warm heart to relationships will help harness the energies of Mars and Venus in retrograde.

Larger astrological influences are at play. In recent years, Pluto, Neptune and Uranus have moved through Earth and Water signs, reflected in global events such as floods, earthquakes, revelations of secrets, technological advances in finance and power struggles. Now, the outer planets are transitioning to volatile Air and Fire signs, signaling a shift in global dynamics.

For the United States, this transition could lead to a profound reshaping of governance. Ideological divisions and a distorted relationship with truth may escalate into domestic conflict as efforts toward social control clash with collective desires for rebellion. Armed conflict, both domestic and international, is possible. However, the lighter energies of Air and Fire can also be creatively harnessed, fostering growth and new opportunities.

Pluto’s message is to “let go of what no longer serves you,” whether by clearing clutter or reevaluating deeply held beliefs. In May 2025, Saturn will align with Neptune in Aries, offering a chance for new beginnings. The impulse to start new projects will ebb and flow, with full realization not occurring until July 2026.

If humanity navigates the challenges of the next 18 months, a powerful astrological configuration in July 2026 could present the most enlightened opportunity of the 21st century. Additionally, the increasing number of celestial bodies discovered since the turn of the millennium presents opportunities for humanity to harness these energies for new and exciting adventures.
