“The Year of Evolution and Revolution”
2025 marks a transformative year for humanity, a pivotal moment in the spiritual and collective evolution of our world. According to ancient Mayan wisdom, the period from 2012 to 2025 is a time of deep shifts in consciousness, guided by the transition between Great Ages and the re-alignment of our Solar System with the Galactic Center. As we move into late 2024 and through 2025, powerful astrological changes will take place, particularly in the outer planets, which shape our global consciousness and collective experience. All of the outer planets—those that influence societal, spiritual, and revolutionary movements—will shift signs, catalyzing profound changes in leadership, spiritual awakening, and global transformation. These cosmic shifts will impact not only external events such as the environment and technological advancements but will also awaken deeper questions of the soul, spiritual truths, and our collective purpose on Earth. This is why we have called 2025 “The Year of Evolution and Revolution.”Astrologically, the energies of 2025 will accelerate the process of spiritual awakening and soul growth. As Jupiter moves into Cancer, we will be called to reassess our values, especially those related to materialism, nature, and sustainability. On a deeper level, this transit invites us to reimagine our connection to the Earth and the spiritual wisdom inherent in our physical existence. Saturn’s passage through Pisces will continue to dissolve outdated structures and belief systems, offering the opportunity for deep spiritual renewal and growth. As Saturn aligns with Neptune in Aries, there will be a collective awakening to higher truths, revealing illusions within spiritual practices, institutions, and authority figures. This energy will encourage us to embrace more authentic, transparent, and soul-centered ways of living.
Pluto’s ongoing transit through Aquarius will intensify in 2025, ushering in revolutionary changes that challenge the way we think about power, technology, and the collective soul. Pluto in Aquarius will catalyze a profound transformation in how we understand human interconnectedness, community, and the collective spiritual journey.
Uranus, the planet of sudden change, will also be in Gemini, bringing both breakthroughs in consciousness and disruptions to established systems. These energies invite us to explore how our personal and collective spiritual paths are being reshaped by the rapid changes unfolding around us. Together, these planetary movements point to a time of great upheaval, but also a remarkable opportunity for soul renewal and global healing. The soul’s journey will demand resilience, flexibility, and an openness to the evolutionary forces at play as we step into the next chapter of our spiritual awakening.
In this workshop, we will explore the spiritual and astrological cycles that are shaping our present and future, drawing from the wisdom of the ancient Greeks, Yogis, Mayans, and the Lakota. We will also integrate insights from quantum physics and consciousness studies to better understand how these planetary transitions affect our individual and collective soul evolution. Together, we will explore tools and practices to help navigate these powerful energies with grace and clarity, as well as look at the astrology of 2025 and beyond.
This workshop is designed for anyone interested in understanding the spiritual and astrological dimensions of the coming years. No prior knowledge of astrology is necessary.

“Expect The Unexpected & Bring Your Head to Your Heart”
This next month and the whole year of 2025 will be a wild ride. There is so much changing in the cosmic field that will manifest here on planet Earth. The year 2025 will be electric, radical, revolutionary, and revelatory. This will inspire much awe and reverence in the Heart. How one perceives this coming month and year depends on how open one’s heart is and how ready they are to fulfill one’s Dharma. This could be an exceptionally expansive and welcoming time to those who follow the synchronicities and keep faith in their Hearts.
Much is happening with Mercury, Uranus, and Aquarius energy for this current cycle. All three relate to electricity, lightning, change, evolution, revelation, and liberation- personally and collectively- the Ego Awakening to the Soul.
The Cancer Full Moon is magnified by the Sun trining Uranus on Jan 13. The moon is at home in Cancer and doubles down on Emotional Intelligence, Family, Creativity, and Intuition. The Sun and Uranus are inspirations and sudden and unexpected changes that may be very supportive. Those two aspects can also expand the lunar energies for deep emotions, psychic abilities, and stirring of the ocean’s waters.
The Sun moves into Aquarius from Jan 19 – Feb 18 and will be joined by the New Moon on Jan 29- The Chinese New Year. This is the year of the Wood Snake. Snake energy is transformation, shamanic, life force, creativity, Shakti, Kundalini, and Magic. Significant Societal movements and shake-ups will happen this year. There may be some radical evolutions in technology and communication- along with some ancient mysteries called forth into the collective consciousness. Undoubtedly, things will be unusual, weird, different, and magnetized towards the Soul.
Uranus goes direct on Jan 30 after four months of retrograde. Uranus will be dancing between Taurus and Gemini all 2025 until it settles into this fast-moving sign in 2026 for 7 years. Uranus- the planet’s unexpected changes- has been slowed down in Earthy Taurus since 2019. Once in Gemini, this is going to be a super-nova. Cosmic energies will be restored to light speed and be charging forward. Uranus’ deepest purpose is to awaken the Soul to the Ego. If we flow with the intent of the Soul, it will be stunningly beautiful…
Feb 2 is Imbolc and the mystical quarter season that marks the mid-point between Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox. It means “in the belly” and represents the pregnant energy of Spring in the belly of Mother Earth. The bulbs, seeds, and snakes start to turn in the ground, preparing to extend for the light. This is a profound time for Ceremony and Honoring the cycle of life that brings rebirth and regeneration from the dark womb. It calls for faith, trust, and love to be shared. Gather with your community and prepare your seeds for spring.
Jupiter in Gemini goes Direct on Feb 4. Jupiter is faith, trust, and a vision quest for Truth. This is the medicine we need now and for the unfolding year. Place your trust in the unseen, the inner light, and in Love. Trust God and the Universe and your Soul. Quest for Goodness, and hold a vision of what a more beautiful world will look like. We are the visionaries and keepers of the flame that we are hoping will show up. Be the light you know you are and shine it upon a hill for all to see!
The Sun in Aquarius squares Uranus in Taurus on Feb 11. This is no energy to be trifled with now that Uranus is direct. Unthinkable things may collapse, transform, change course, crash, explode, combust, or resurrect. Major world energies such as finance, earth, and fire are in the mix.
Stay steady, “Expect The Unexpected & Bring Your Head to Your Heart.” The heart is where you will find the way, the wonder and the magic. See you at the Leo Full Moon on Feb 12
