Ive mentioned in my writings quite a bit about the intense and challenging astrology of 2025.
This year is riddled with t-squares, grand squares, Pluto aspects, multiple asteroids transiting Scorpio and outer planets going back and forth between signs. If you know the language of astrology, you know THIS IS A LOT.
In addition, Its the year of the snake AND the last year in the numerological cycle, BOTH of which are symbolic of endings, closing out chapters of life and shedding layers of old stories, narratives, habits, traumas, attachments and perspectives that fail to serve our lives in positive ways.
We are manifesting (Saturn) a new consciousness (Neptune) into existence through our very own being (Aries). This consciousness is patterned with the essence of Christ, the Grand Avatar of the Piscean Age (Neptune rules Pisces).
With the North Node in Pisces AND Saturn/Neptune transiting there off and on in 2025 making grand water trines with Jupiter in Cancer and asteroids in Scorpio, the ability to touch that loving and compassionate Christ essence and use it to heal our lives is really unprecedented. All these bodies lining up in perfect timing to create this blessed and supportive aspect? Wow.
Christ is the being that teaches us to rise above our limitations and difficulties by facing them with absolute LOVE... by looking at them through a lens of HIGHER CONSCIOUSNESS, seeing and interpreting things through the eyes of God. This is what truly saves us.
So, while we have some pretty challenging energies this year, we are also being offered grace and the ability to forgive and release some pretty heavy things we've been carrying (for lifetimes) through a compassionate heart. BUT we have to be willing to set aside time to really tap into the energy of the trine and use it in the highest of ways for our healing and preparation for 2026, which will initiate us into a brand new cycle of life.
Its astounding if we think about the astrology of 2025 into 2026. Just as Christ rose from the dead into new life, we too are being asked to die to the old versions of our self and to the ego so that new life can be birthed. This is clearly shown with Saturn and Neptune crossing the cups of Pisces and Aries multiple times, signifying endings and beginnings. You just cant make this stuff up. The fate of our lives and our soul's evolution through space and time are truly written in the stars.
One challenging aspect I havent mentioned yet is a grand square in the cardinal signs of Aries, Cancer, Capricorn and Libra, so If you have planets in the early to mid degrees of any of those signs, you may be feeling intense pressure at this time.
3 Centaurs; Pholus, Ixion and Quaoar in Capricorn are opposing Jupiter in Cancer, and squaring the asteroid Salacia in Aries and Mars in Libra.
So, each of these energies are competing with one another in not so nice ways.
What is really important to understand about this aspect is that its happening in the signs of the zodiac that represent the "bone structure" of out charts, so its very foundational to our lives.
These signs represent the self (Aries - 1st house), our relationships (Libra - 7th house), home (Cancer - 4th house) and standing in the world or highest potential we are striving to be in this life (Capricorn - 10th house).
Its been said that when outer planets transit these parts of the chart or signs, its incredibly impactful and life changing... and we are likely to feel it more than transits in the other houses and modalities.
If you are feeling really challenged right now, that's understandable. We are clearly being stretched in order for our souls to grow in positive ways, and we know growth can require us to restructure and reorder our lives in way that take us out of comfort zones. So, if we can see these challenges as something positive AND connect with the support of the water energy, we can more likely turn lemons to lemonade.
I know it may not feel like it BUT something more beautiful is trying to emerge. However, HUGE layers of resistance and negativity are built up making it really hard for us to feel the good feels.
This is because of those 3 centaurs in Capricorn mentioned earlier creating the grand square which Im interpreting as the anchor of the whole configuration.
Capricorn, at its lower energy is about limitations, fears, anxiety, feeling boxed it, imprisoned, and punished. Here, we can feel oppressed, depressed, and stuck. Life can become stagnant. We could feel exhausted from carrying the weight of something we dont want to carry anymore. We can feel our joy drying up under the weight of some duty, obligation, tradition, old conditioning or authority figure.
Juxtaposed against all of that, there are these beautiful, healing, expansive energies in Cancer and Aries.
Jupiter is traveling in Cancer and Salacia in Aries.
Jupiter in Cancer softens us (the opposite of Capricorn which hardens us)... its the Mother Archetype so we want to nurture, support, care for and uplift the deepest parts of ourselves in order to feel good. This is about putting your oxygen mask on first. This is about really caring for yourself, and creating a super strong and supportive foundation. If you're not inherently right within, then the things you touch in the outer world wont be getting a very good version of you - and then NO ONE will be feeling very good.
Salacia in Aries brings us a Higher Love. She is the counter part of Neptune, which can really inspire our lives in magical ways. Salacia is thought to REMOVE BARRIERS TO HAPPINESS. She has been described as the light that shimmers on the surface of the ocean - and we all know that magical feeling that evokes in us. She has a genuine love for life and humanity. Her energy is soft, light, romantic and playful.
AND finally, Mars in Libra desires harmony and balance in relationships. It may go about it in aggressive and inappropriate ways, BUT the goal is to have good relations with others in Libra - to be cooperative and harmonious in all of our interactions.
So, as you can see, our souls seem to be striving for the good feels, BUT its not very forthcoming with the HOT MESS in Capricorn. AND while we might be tempted to blame others (especially authority figures) for not being able to really find and stay in the sweet spot in life, we need to look to our own internal dialogue.
This energy can be very self-defeating. We are HARD on ourselves in Capricorn. There can be a streak of cruelty. We can also deprive ourselves, only expecting crumbs, thinking its all we deserve because perhaps in the past LOVE, affection, kindness, attention and care was in short supply. In turn, we could end up compensating for that by either perpetuating that narrative, continuing the self-deprivation (via limiting life choices) OR climbing the ladder of success to prove how GOOD we are in order to cover over the self-hate from not feeling loved.
AND this is the conundrum we are being presented with right now, with the Grand Square formation in the Cardinal signs.
Our souls are so desperate to feel the goodness of life, to live authentically and to be loved without trying so hard.
Ever since 2020, when Pluto conjuncted Saturn in Capricorn, it seemed to put in motion a chain reaction of events and experiences that are mirroring the deep, unconscious issues we are being called to heal and resolve on BOTH personal AND collective levels.
Over the generations, we have experienced and internalized so much negativity, pain, limitation, fear, poverty, abandonment, rejection, loneliness, lack, and suffering that we havent faced and healed. All that darkness is stuck in the unconscious, wreaking havoc AND has become our inner narrative, driving our choices, actions, thoughts, ideas. behaviors and even shaping our character.
That once sad inner child has turned into a collective monster due to generations of being ignored, neglected and repressed.
The consequence of which has manifested in the pain, suffering and disparities we experience in the world.
The inability to face our pain and heal it, has resulted in drug abuse, alcoholism, all forms of addiction to self soothe, rampant materialism, obsessive consumption to fill the void, self harm, government and institutional corruption, sociopathic behavior (harming others, no respect for social norms), climbing the corporate ladder and stepping on others to get there, corporate and societal greed, and degenerate culture.
Over time, our hearts have become hardened, but deep down they are really broken, so we figured out how to survive in materialist ways. We've essentially abandoned our inner child and created a narrative that mirrors the karmic repetition of lack, fear, separation and deprivation that is stuck like a skipping, broken record playing in our psyches.
Deep groves have been worn in and tracks have been laid. BUT the comos is calling for a healing of it ALL, and the astrology is certainly supporting that task 100%.
We cant heal what we cant feel and this year is about facing those hidden emotions and traumas frozen/crystalized in our bodies (asteroids in Scorpio, centaurs in Capricorn).
As mentioned, there is Water Grand Trine on offer. This IS the medicine.
With Jupiter in Cancer leading the way, we have the chance to embody the Great Mother archetype within. She is being touched so beautifully by Neptune, Saturn and the asteroids in Scorpio. We are returning to the womb. We are going back to our roots - as far back as needed (Ancestry) and redeeming all the memories and experiences of lack, fear, oppression, abuse, deprivation, hate (Capricorn) - every painful experience and emotion associated with feeling separated from GOD, from Divine LOVE and GOODNESS (North Node in Pisces).
This is a return to purity and innocence (Cancer/Pisces)... to a higher love (Salacia). Its time to heal and reconcile (Mars in Libra) it all - within ourselves, with others, with God, with the world, with life.
And this is how we restore our lives. NOT by running from the sad parts, the parts calling out for love and attention, the angry and bitter parts - not by burying them, stuffing them, ignoring them, shoving them down in Capricorn style (Centaurs can be rough energy) and carrying on with life as ususal. That wont work now. Its time to face the music. By opening our hearts. By softening towards our hardness and fears. By seeking resolutions and reconciliation (Mars in Libra). We do this for ourselves, for our relationships, for God, the one who created this world for us to thrive in. This is our divine and true responsibility in life. AND for this we need a NEW VISION and a NEW INSPIRATION (North Node Pisces, grand water trine). BUT we cant do that until we release our tears from the eons of grief stuck in our hearts.
I hope this inspired you to go to whatever things in your life are calling for your love, your care and your healing. You deserve better, which requires you to soften and open your heart to those things stuck in the shadows.
"Love. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres". Love never fails. ~ Corinthians 13:7
