2025 Is Going to Change the Way We Do Business
Wake up from the dream, things are about to move (and they may get weird)
Every so often, a year comes around that changes the game. Not just tweaks it based on the latest TikTok trend (RIP), but flips the board entirely. 2025 is going to be one of those years. This isn’t just another turn of the calendar, it will be a year that will be referenced in history books.
For the past few years, we’ve been navigating the ebb and flow of uncertainty, adjustment and slow rebuilding. We learned resilience in 2020. Then 2021 and 2022 challenged us to pivot and get used to a new way of doing things. 2023 and 2024 came in and whispered of new possibilities but held us in a holding pattern of preparation, sending us messages that “something is coming”. Now, 2025 is will be the year that holds the megaphone yelling, “It’s time to move.”
What Makes 2025 So Different?
Let's talk about energy—not in a woo-woo, feel-good sense, but in the tangible, undeniable shifts you can already feel in the air.
Over the past decade, we've been working with cycles that emphasized breaking down outdated systems and redefining our priorities. We've learned how to slow down, reflect and rebuild. But in 2025, the energy shifts. The focus isn't just on reflection, it's on action.
Next year is a call to stop overthinking and start creating, to balance bold moves with intentional planning. The systems that sustained us for the past 10 years will no longer work. The business models, marketing strategies and even the personal habits we leaned on will start to feel more and more outdated. And we can either panic or we can rise to the challenge and innovate.
The Big Themes of 2025
So, what exactly is happening? Why is 2025 such a turning point?
The year is marked by massive shifts in how we lead, connect and create. It will teach us to balance faith and courage, introspection and action, purpose and profit. We'll be challenged to move forward, take grounded, practical steps to realize our dreams and build businesses that align with both our purpose, values and your bottom line.
2025 stands out because it brings a rare cluster of energetic changes that create a perfect storm for transformation. It will be a collective recalibration as we bravely step into leadership roles and build systems that will serve us and humanity far into the future, forever changing the way we relate to each other and the world.
Here’s ano overview of the astrological events that will influence the upcoming year:
The Retrogrades
With all 3 personal planets in retrograde during Q1, they are going to play a pivotal role in how we approach progress this year. Instead of hitting the ground running, we’ll be forced to kick off the year by pausing and reassessing virtually every aspect of our lives and businesses.
Mars retrograde will offer us opportunities for recalibration and show us where we’re taking action out of alignment. This is our opportunity to refine our goals and make sure that what we’re working towards is actually what we want. Everything else will become painfully frustrating.
Venus retrograde will call us to reevaluate what it is we truly value—in our relationships, our resources, and creative projects. We’ll be forced to look at where we’ve been investing our time, love and precious resources and reassess if those things still matter to us.
Then our friend Mercury retrograde offers three opportunities through the year for recalibration in our communication, contracts, systems, messaging, etc. I hope by now you’ve learned to love it.

The Eclipses
Eclipses are turning points, moments when the universe prompts (forces) us to let go of the old and create space for the new. These events are like new and full monos on steroids, serving as cosmic checkpoints of a larger story and help us get better at surrendering control and embracing change.
2025 will host the final Aries eclipse in the Aries/Libra eclipse series, closing the chapter on a story involving themes of identity and partnership that taught us to balance who we are and who we are in relation to others. This story may have played out through client relationships, business collaborations or with key partnerships in your personal life.
Then for the next 18 months, the Virgo/Pisces eclipses will emphasize tension between perfectionism and surrender, offering lessons on trusting our intuition while remaining grounded in practicality and showing us the daily actions we need to take to bring our dreams into the real world.

The Ingresses
Planetary ingresses (when a planet moves into a new zodiac sign) bring shifts in collective focus. The luminaries (Sun, Moon) and personal planets (Mercury, Venus, Mars) move into new signs regularly throughout the year, while the outer (Jupiter, Saturn) and generational (Uranus, Neptune, Pluto) take 1-20 years to move through a single sign. In 2025, every single planet will be moving into a new sign (I’m counting Pluto), coming together to completely redefine the playing field.
Pluto in Aquarius
For the next 20 years, we’ll experience revolutions around technology, community and the decentralization of power. This is the age where we will work together to build a collective whole that is greater than the sum of our parts.
Neptune in Aries
Many are about to be initiated into a journey of awakening. Our dreams will not want to remain hidden in our subconscious, anymore. This is where we make them real.
Saturn in Aries
We’ll be challenge to be bold and blaze our own trail while maintaining focus and sticking to our plan, even when things move slower than we’d like.
Jupiter in Cancer
Our expansion will be centered around connection, security and emotional nourishment. We will shift from thinking and talking to feeling and building.
Uranus in Gemini
Rapid advancements in how we share information, connect and move through the world, disrupting how we exchange and interpret information.
The North Node of Future Destiny is Also Changing Signs
It’s time to learn to balance spirituality with practicality. Where are my spiritual entrepreneurs at? It’s your time to shine. The North Node in Pisces will invite us to connect with our intuition, creativity and sense of higher purpose. Themes of emotional depth, surrender and alignment will guide us over the next 18 months. This will be our chance to infuse our work and personal lives with meaning and build a life that resonates deeply with who we really are.

Final Thoughts
2025 is a major year of transformation astrologically, and also a collective 9 year in numerology, emphasizing that 2025 is truly the end of an era. This is where we tie up loose ends and let go of anything from our “old” that’s keeping us from aligning with where we want to go in our next chapter.
