2025 in the Stars: Your Cosmic Preview and Next Steps to Align Your Life

The December Cosmo's are lining up for quite the month. We have our usual occurrences of Full and New Moon, but there are a whole host of other planets that are going to make an appearance.

Mercury, Neptune and Chiron will complete their retrograde cycles for 2024- this was a profound cycle of introspection, self-awareness, and wounds to be healed. Mars will begin its retrograde cycle and we will all be taking this energy inwards- expect reflection or musings around what you’re capable of, what you really want to put your energy behind, and be mindful for any unresolved relationship issues that come forward.

Winter Solstice will bring the cosmic shift into Capricorn. A New Moon in Capricorn will follow not long after this seasonal shift and will have us reflecting on all that transpired for us when Pluto was in Capricorn. It's bringing a reminder to slow your roll into 2025-give the intentional time and care to your plans for the year ahead. What would a purposeful, meaningful, and paced transformation look like in 2025? We want steps that come from firm footing on solid ground; that move us towards an end goal. It’s about conserving your energy for purpose and forward momentum. 

Hot Astrology Tip- Did you know that Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn, leaders of the zodiac,  all bring in seasonal changes like Equinox and Solstice-as above so below!  

Mars Retrograde Begins December 6 

Mars will do a backwards shuffle through heart-filled, energetic Leo. With all retrogrades, the energy of the planet turns inwards. Mars rules our drive, capabilities and how we use our energy toward action; basically you’ll need to slow down. Take a beat before you leap into action and be mindful of impulsivity. All this fiery energy can cause an ignition we may regret later; start practicing "I'm sorry". Mars retrograde is here until February 23, 2025, use this time to reflect on leadership, long lost passions to, and your source of pride and confidence. This is a time to get ready to launch, so you reach those new heights. 

Neptune Retrograde Ends December 7

Neptune stations direct and it will influence how you feel about Mercury and the Full Moon on December 15. Neptune has been in retrograde motion since July 2, 2024 and it can be a funny time. Neptune in Retrograde shatters our illusions around people, places or experiences; the realizations can be hard but liberating. It will also ask us to confront the ways we escape reality, our emotional patterns, and personal boundaries. But, it will also deepen our connection to our intuition and allow us to renew our relationship to spirituality and creativity.

When Neptune goes direct we move back into a rhythm that allows us to dream big, to imagine what could be possible without limitation. Our spirituality, intuition, and dream world become brighter and more vivid-like we recharged the batteries while Neptune was in retrograde.

Mercury Retrograde Ends & A Full Moon in Gemini December 15

This is good, really good because Gemini is ruled by Mercury, and Mercury will end its retrograde in Sagittarius. Gemini and Sagittarius are medicine for one another and can find relief in each other’s energy; if they’re willing.

A T-square is involved in this transit and will bring some extra energy to the exchange. Tension has entered the chat, and it’s looking for energetic relief. Relief can be found in the wisdom of Virgo, who also happens to be ruled by Mercury.

You just can’t make this shit up, but what does it all mean?

It means the Mercury retrograde lessons become more significant. This Mercury retrograde is bursting with knowledge around what you believe and how those beliefs are limiting or liberating the person you want to be

Take a little wander, an observance if you will, of what has transpired in the last three weeks:

Did you find freedom from something in your mind? A belief, an “aha” that you are the only person standing in your way.

Did something not work out how you thought it would, and the perceived failure was actually a success?

Did you realize that you moved in a new way, regarding past behaviours, and are now standing tall in a new place? Does more feel possible? 

 Take those insights from above and ask yourself: 

How can I structure my life around this new place of curiosity or clarity I am in?

What does integration of these insights, in the material world, look like? 

Examine your routines, your care of self, the way you organize your life, and how you show up in your relationships. Bring your material world into alignment with this new space you're occupying. Let go of any attachment that doesn’t feel like an energetic match. If you're not in love with it, stop doing it.

Winter Solstice and plunkity, plunk, kerplunk into Capricorn Season on December 21 

 Settle in because discipline, responsibility, the list for 2025, and the plan to get it all done is coming with Capricorn season. We love Capricorn because it teaches us how to turn a dream into reality, how to apply purpose and ambition to our goals. Capricorn is such beautiful energy that will not move unless they know their energy is being used towards a greater purpose. You can be as lit up as you like about your dreams for 2025, but they will stay a dream if they don’t have real world structure around them and a clear roadmap to success.

You can think of Capricorn like a time and energy auditor that will visit you in 2025. The Capricorn audit is assessing how you used your energy, conserved your energy, and hit those milestones, on your path to a bigger goal.

Chiron Retrograde Ends December 29 and New Moon in Capricorn December 30

Our last big hurrah of 2024 brings healing and a clear path forward. Chiron is our wounded healer, showing us the most painful places, that when healed, bring our greatest wisdom for healing and leading others. A New Moon in Capricorn brings much of what was mentioned above about Capricorn, but with fresh start energy. The advice in working with this lunation is to put the Capricorn and Chiron together.

Your goals, intentions, commitment, and the stability and structure you are seeking in 2025 can be aimed at what has been healed, will be healed, and will move you forward. Let your heart and how you want to feel be part of the container that will hold you.

Keep your awareness open to who moves with you through this change, and who cheers you on as you climb the priority list. Your word for the coming year is self-nurture.

A lot shifted in your world and you may have noticed you’re not showing up the way you would like in this new reality. Put your heart into putting the pieces back in place.

Virgo 

Where’s the passion scale for your work sitting right now, Virgo? We need a little injection of creativity, to bring some lightness and renewed inspiration to the work scene.

Take a moment, land on the ground again this month. Consider two things this month: When the world outside is spinning around is your home sanctuary and is the place you live (city) reflective of your values or the way you see the world? When our roots are planted deeper, we sway with the tornado. Your word for 2025 is grounded.

Sagittarius 

This past year your relationship to self, what you invest your money in, and how you source worth from the material world brought some truths. 2025  is your opportunity to remove the “stuff” and bring abundance into your life in a new way. My fiery friend, put your hand on your heart and ask yourself: Do I love me? If it’s a yes, then take that reality in..celebrate! If it’s a no-ask for help, maybe it already arrived and you just haven’t recognized it. Your word for 2025 is trust. 

Capricorn

This year may have brought big shifts in your health, how you show up in relationship, and a deep analysis of self. It’s time to put in some self-care routines, some structure and organization, that allows the outside to reflect the inside. This isn’t a vanity project or an “I remember when” exercise, it’s an arrival into who you are now. What’s your brand and when was the last time self-expression through clothing, hair, jewellery was fun? No more wearing black everyday when you feel like a pink personality. Let it shine baby. Your word for 2025 is radiate.

Aquarius 

The vibe was shake up wake up for you in 2024 Aquarius. Did you find new systems of study, a mission you want to bring forward to humanity, have you found a niche? Maybe you’re just beginning to carve it out. Keep pushing, keep exploring in 2025. The more you dismantle conformity in your life, the wider the horizons become.
