We Need to Talk About 2025
An in-depth look at this threshold year
Enough dancing around it, We Need to Talk About 2025. (IYK, YK) This column is long, so buckle up. Here are some links if you want to jump around:
Overview
All planets are changing signs in an extremely short period of times:
Pluto moved into Aquarius Nov. 19, 2024. A 248-year cycle.
Neptune enters Aries on March 30. A 165-year cycle.
Uranus enters Gemini on July 7. An 84-year cycle.
Saturn also enters Aries on May 24. A 29-year cycle.
The Nodes changed signs on January 11. An 18-year cycle.
In addition, Jupiter changes signs in June, Mars changes in April, and both Venus and Mercury are retrograding in March.
A Time of Change
What are the chances that all planets and the Nodes change signs in less than nine months? Turns out, it’s quite rare — if not unprecedented. The last time the outer planets changed quickly was between 1737 to 1739. Even then, it took almost two years.
2025 is a threshold year and the planetary movements help explain why. While we can expect societal changes to intensify from 2026 through 2028 — we’re now entering the most dynamic period of the 21st century.
Change can be unpredictable, difficult, and uncomfortable. But I believe the next few years are laying the ground for a 21st century renaissance. Similar in spirit to the 15th century European Renaissance, I hope. In fact, the time before the 1700s that the outer planets changed so quickly was during the Renaissance. The details of ours will be different — probably more tech and less art 🥲 — but change is coming.
I know we’ve been going through a lot, but I’m also excited for the future. And I want you to be as well.
Self-Reliance
“Trust thyself: every heart vibrates to that iron string.”
-Ralph Waldo Emerson, Self Reliance
This year began with two acts of violence and over 12,000 homes burning down in America’s second largest city. In my last column, I outlined some astrological correlations for that challenging start of the year.
I know a lot of us are having a challenging year so far (understatement for many!). There’s only so much challenging news we can absorb. As trite as it may sound, 2025 might be a good time to re-read The Power of Now. Or Ralph Waldo Emerson’s essay on “Self Reliance” (quoted above).
And I hope it gets easier from here. Some astrologers think January may be the hardest month of the year. The Jan. 2 Mars-Pluto opposition mixed with Mars retrograde made January quite difficult. And I would love that to be true, but because of the potential for more chaos and the erosion of our foundations in society, I want us to be prepared for a bumpy 2025.
In that spirit, this piece provides some long-term context for a few hot spots this year. My hope is that we can use astrology to prepare expectations and create space in our daily schedules ahead of time.
I also see huge potential this year: for opportunity, radical change, and self reliance. At the very least, we’ll begin the final dissolution of institutions, governance, precedents, and structures that don’t work. If we can’t agree on anything else, we can find accord in a desire for change.
Long-Term Context vs. Short-Term Planetary Movements
To really use astrology, you must understand the long-term context of the outer planets. But we also need to track the faster moving planets — Mercury, Venus, Mars, and even the Moon — as their interaction with the slower planets typically reveal the “hotspots” in a given year.
This column aims to explain both long-term and short-term for 2025 to give you a sense of expectations for the year ahead.
By way of example, I explained last week how Pluto in Aquarius, Uranus in Taurus, and Jupiter in Gemini are context for fierce climate change events. But the precise timing of the LA fires occurred when quick-moving Mars retrograde changed signs and the North Node crossed zero degrees Aries.
2020 is another example of how faster planets can trigger the effects of slower planets. Saturn and Pluto came together in January 2020 — an infrequent planetary interaction. Their conjunction can correlate to pandemics and other difficult social events.
But it wasn’t until March 2020 when “shit hit the fan”, so to speak (even if the pandemic started earlier). In that March, Mars crossed in front of several planets and the South Node in Capricorn. Any significant number of planets in one sign is something to watch because it emphasizes one theme over 12 others. We have several planets moving together in March 2025 as well — but this time it’s Pisces.
Let me be clear; 2025 will not be like 2020. If anything, this year is more randomly chaotic but with more moments of individual freedom. It’s not about collective isolation or heavy-handed institutions. But I raise the 2020 example so we can understand the long-term context of 2025 and then dive into the hotspots of the year. One, interestingly enough, is March.
2025: The Outer Planets
I’ve previously written a piece linked here discussing all the outer planetary movements. To keep this column somewhat reasonable in length, please click the header links below if you want to learn more about the slower planets and their cycles.
November 2024: Pluto moved into Aquarius
Pluto’s transit through any sign correlates to deep-seated changes in society. Pluto is the planet of evolution through an intense death-and-rebirth cycle. It’s this theme that connects Pluto to the mythical phoenix bird.
In order to find our true power with Pluto, we need to remove what isn’t working. For the next 20 years, we should expect profound changes in Aquarius themes of technology, innovation, governance systems, and individual autonomy.
Pluto in Aquarius will be especially emphasized in 2025 through 2028 as it will directly interact with Saturn, Neptune, and Uranus.
March 2025: Neptune moves into Aries
In Roman mythology, Neptune was the god of the ocean. In astrology, the planet correlates to themes of interconnectedness and erosion. Just like the sea, Neptune can be beautiful and creative beyond comprehension, but if you try to look through the saltwater, our eyes get blurry at best. And like the ocean, Neptune dissolves or erodes everything it touches. Still, I believe you can work with Neptune by thinking in a non-linear way and accepting the metaphysical reality around us.
When Neptune enters Aries, it may correlate to a “fog of war”. Historically, Neptune in Aries has been tied to civil wars (including the American one) as it can represent a time when people are confused about who to fight. Aries is a sign of leadership, so it may confuse us about who is actually leading.
On the positive side, Neptune in Aries will drive our pioneering spirit, perhaps emphasizing even more bold technology changes. Neptune in Aries can also correlate with inspired leadership. My suggestion is for each of us to lead ourselves: Aries is about individual freedom.
May 2025: Saturn also enters Aries
Saturn enters Aries on May 24, and while I would often classify Saturn as a medium-term influence, it immediately interacts with Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. For that reason, its entrance could be a significant part of the big-picture context of 2025.
Aries is perhaps the most difficult sign for Saturn. While Saturn wants to move slowly and deliberately, Aries is fast and impulsive. Aries leaps before it thinks while Saturn waits for more information to act. The energies are fundamentally different. On one hand, this may offer us a reprieve from Saturn’s more difficult lessons. On the other hand, it could make us feel rudderless or without long-term leaders given Saturn’s impotence.
Most importantly, Saturn’s entrance into Aries gets it very close to an exact connection with Neptune. I explore this critical aspect of 2025 below.
July 2025: Uranus enters Gemini
On July 7, Uranus first dips its toe into Gemini, where it will eventually stay for about 8 years. Gemini represents communication and transportation on the mundane level and Uranus is about innovation, rapid change, and disruption.
Currently, while in Taurus, Uranus has been disrupting the Earth, the food we grow, the labor we use to grow it, and even money itself (think crypto currency). Taurus is a much slower sign than Gemini, however, so believe it or not, us astrologers are expecting the speed of change to go into hyperdrive this summer when Uranus changes signs.
Uranus in Gemini is also closely tied with American history as it moved through this sign during three difficult wars: the Revolutionary War (1774-1782), the Civil War (1858-1866), and World War II (1941-1949). While this historical pattern is challenging, it’s important to remember that the country came out the other side stronger and wholly reformed.
Historical Comparisons of 2025
The three outer planets have not changed signs in such quick succession for hundreds of years — and perhaps never in nine short months (Nov. 2024 to July 2025). They do change signs quickly about every 300. And these periods correlate to massive changes society. Here are two recent examples.
1700s Comparison
Most recently, the outer planets quickly changed signs during the early-to-mid 1700s. During that time, we saw the Great Awakening and the foundations of contemporary society: from modern architecture to democracy. We also the creation of nation states still intact today — including Russia and Iran — and the beginning of the American colonies’ separate identity from England (even if the U.S. Revolution was decades away).
1400s Comparison
From 1395 to 1479, the outer planets changed in quick succession several times. This period is particularly interesting because it overlaps with the European Renaissance, which most scholars believe began in 14th century Italy and lasted for hundreds of years.
One particular year in that period has many astrology similarities to today. The Gutenberg press was invented around 1440 when Uranus was in Taurus (like it is now), Neptune was in Virgo (opposite of where it was now), Pluto was in Cancer (opposite of where it was until November 2024).
The press was the most important technology of the Renaissance — perhaps the most important advancement until electricity, or even the internet. The fact that it was created and then popularized during astrology very similar to the 2020s is remarkable.
The 1400s also saw the fall of Constantinople, usually dated to 1453. That event ended the Byzantium phase of the Roman Empire and threw fuel on the fire of the Renaissance. A number of academics, artists, and philosophers (mostly Greek) left modern-day Turkey for Italy and Europe, representing an historic brain drain that transferred power in the West and solidified a new era. Only 40 years after Constantinople fell, Spain’s colonization of the Americas was underway.
“The Aries Vortex”
I’m gladly borrowing the term “The Aries Vortex” from Ray Merriman whose in-depth annual forecasts dive into rich detail about the year ahead.
The Aries Vortex is a term to explain the midpoint of Pluto in Aquarius and Uranus in Gemini. Astrologers also find it useful to study the midpoint of two outer planets and see what that may represent for current events. The exact midpoint of Pluto and Uranus this decade is zero degrees Aries.
This midpoint could be any degree of the Zodiac. For it to be zero degrees Aries is extraordinary. That’s because zero degrees Aries begins the Zodiac, the astrology calendar, and is the day of the Spring Equinox. It’s a “global point” — perhaps the most important degree out of 360 — because of its placement in the Zodiac.
Since this global point is also the midpoint of Pluto and Uranus in 2025, we can see how “The Aries Vortex” is a potent area of the Zodiac to study in the coming years. Midpoints are always important degrees to study, but this particular one blows others out of the water.
In fact, “The Aries Vortex” is what wakes 2025-2028 the most dynamic part of the 21st century. Let’s understand why.
2025: Activating Zero Degrees Aries
My column on the LA fires had an important conclusion: I believe the key to the timing of the devastating fires was correlated to the North Node hovering at zero degrees Aries the entire week of Jan. 6.
(Mars also changed signs on Jan. 6, into its least “favorite” sign of Cancer, and that certainly correlated to the fires. But because zero degree Aries is activated so much in 2025, I believe it was a key issue in early January.)
Now that we know zero degrees Aries is part of “The Aries Vortex”, and the main reason we can expect so much change from 2025 to 2028, we should note how many times zero degrees Aries is activated in 2025:
Venus retrogrades back and forth over zero degrees Aries from February to April, hitting exactly on Feb. 4, March 25, and April 30 to May 1.
Mercury retrogrades in Aries and Pisces too, thus hitting zero degrees Aries on March 3, March 28-29, and April 16.
Neptune enters Aries on March 30, hitting zero degrees at that time and hovering there until April 26. It will return to zero degrees Aries on Sept. 14 (retrograde) until it re-enters Pisces on Oct. 22.
Saturn crosses zero degrees Aries on May 24 and stays June 8. It will return to zero degrees Aries from Aug. 15 until Sept. 1.
Jupiter will enter zero degrees Cancer on June 9 and activate zero degrees Aries by square, eventually squaring Saturn and Neptune too.
Mars moves through the exact opposite sign of Libra and activates zero degrees Aries by opposition from Aug. 6 to 7.
If you’re lost in this Virgo-forward list of dates, here’s the summary: March, early April, mid June, and early August are hotspots for a degree of the Zodiac that tends to have a global impact.
Saturn and Neptune Meet at a Bar
But wait, there’s more! I’m really trying to hold back my hyperbole here. I think it harms astrology to assume we’re going to be having a revolution every week. We’re not. Change takes time, even when innovation accelerates. Disruption comes in ebbs and flows.
But what’s so fascinating about 2025 (and 2026) is that Neptune and Aries also come together exactly at zero degrees Aries.
Not only is this Zodiac degree the midpoint of Pluto and Uranus and the place where Venus and Mercury retrogrades in March, it’s also the exact degree Neptune and Saturn meet up.
They won’t make it an exact meeting until February 2026, but they get very close throughout summer 2025.
The Saturn-Neptune Cycle
Saturn and Neptune come together every 40 years or so, and it always results in major changes to society. In the late 1980s their connection can be correlated to the end of the Cold War and the start of the internet. And that was in a “random” degree of Capricorn.
So to have them come together at such an important degree of the Zodiac — a world point — is a large part of what makes 2025 and 2026 so interesting.
Saturn represents structure and foundations. Neptune, like the ocean, erodes and dissolves. When they come together, we can expect global structures and institutions to dissolve. The last time they came together , we saw the sudden fall of the Berlin Wall, collapse of the Soviet Union, and the end of apartheid in South Africa — almost overnight.
And these events occurred while Saturn was strong — in its home sign of Capricorn. This time, Saturn is “weak” in Aries. That means we might expect even faster or more significant erosion of the foundations and structures Saturn represents.
In addition, since these planets come together at the midpoint of Pluto and Uranus’ own interaction, Neptune and Saturn will each make a favorable “sextile” with Pluto and Uranus. The sextile connection can lead to quick change through consensus.
A Closer Look at 2025
The many activations of zero degrees Aries in 2025 demonstrate why it’s a banner year. With intention, we can use these astrology patterns and tap into the positive, empowering themes of Aries: self-expression, initiation, and individual freedom.
With that big-picture context in mind, let’s examine some of the “hotpots” of the year.
January: Pluto and the Sun in Aquarius
Early last Tuesday, hours after the U.S. presidential inauguration, the Sun shined a light on Pluto’s subterranean currents. That’s because, from our perspective on Earth, Pluto appeared to disappear behind the Sun.
Pluto’s primary theme is hidden power while the Sun represents formal leadership. Coming together in Aquarius for the first time since the 1700s, the mise-en-scène of tech billionaires in the front row of a presidential inauguration was striking. (Even the seemingly apolitical Tim Cook was there.)
If there was any doubt that the U.S. is run by an oligarchy — and one that’s increasingly tech billionaires instead of an older, East Coast guard — the reality was on full display Jan. 20.
I highlight the inauguration because it exemplifies, again, how shorter term movements like Pluto conjoining the Sun, can emphasize longer-term astrology, like Pluto’s 20-year movement through Aquarius.
February and March: Pisces Euphoria
Next month and in March, we have some astrology moments that I’m calling Pisces Euphoria.
On Feb. 2, the North Node crosses Neptune for the first time in our lifetime. Venus will be nearby, Saturn too, and eventually the Moon joins. This cluster of planets in Pisces will repeat from Feb. 28 to March 2 as well (with the Sun joining then), but we’ll probably feel the effects for much of February and March.
We could feel a sense of disbelief with the world, fake news might be on the rise, and we may see spiritual awakenings or mass communions. People may feel the need to dissociate with the ongoing world news or look for true meaning elsewhere. We may just have some really wet weather.
Do you feel it yet? I’ve been noticing the Pisces energy rise and have been trying to focus on the feel-good, connected-to-all aspects of Pisces over the dissociative influences.
Things could get very weird though. Pisces does weird well because it’s the sign that represents the liminal space between our reality and imagination.
The last time that the North Node, Neptune, and Saturn were all in Pisces was around 1425. We studied that period above, which was in the middle of the Renaissance and specifically occurred around some major reforms to religion and spirituality. The Pisces Euphoria is just another example of the change we expect 2025 to bring.
We may revisit themes of March’s Pisces Euphoria at the end of the year when Saturn and Neptune both return to Pisces with the North Node.
March and April: Pisces and Aries Seesaw
Another astrology aspect that makes March unique is that we move quickly from an unprecedented amount of Pisces energy to a huge amount of Aries — very quickly.
Pisces and Aries, like most signs next to each other, are starkly different. Aries is individualistic, self-starter, fast, fiery, and impulsive. Pisces is all about community, dreaming, slowing down, and feeling the collective emotions.
As noted, Venus and Mercury will both retrograde between Aries and Pisces. Plus Neptune will go from Pisces to Aries from March 30 into April. And an Aries eclipse is thrown in on March 29 just for fun.
So I think a major part of Q1 2025 will be the whipsaw, back-and-forth energy between Pisces and Aries. We may feel lost in the sauce or transcendent at times (Pisces) only to be thrust into a bold new reality (Aries).
March: Madness
In March, we have two eclipses. Eclipses can correlate with sudden events that shake things up.
March 14: Virgo Full Moon eclipse. The first eclipse is in Virgo at the South Node — a type of eclipse about letting go and releasing. Look back to 2006-2007 to see if you can remember anything similar as that was the last time we had this cycle.
The eclipse occurs the same day Mercury stations retrograde, and Mercury rules Virgo. As explained in my retrogrades piece, the day a planet stations retrograde can be quite significant. Combined with an eclipse, we’ll want to dot our eyes and cross our tees around March 14. The Virgo gods of perfectionism will be “out-of-office”.
March 29: Aries New Moon eclipse. This will be the last eclipse in Aries near the North Node for about 18 years. This eclipse is the end of a two-year cycle that began in spring 2023. This eclipse happens while Mercury and Venus are retrograding in Aries and could signal some global conflict. On the other hand, I’m holding out hope that we may resolve some conflicts since it’s the end of Aries’ eclipse cycle. But given the entrance of Neptune and Saturn into Aries this year, that hope may be overly optimistic.
March: Activating Zero Degrees Aries
As I mentioned last year, when one or more of the inner planets retrograde at the same time, it’s a period we want to note carefully. From March 14 to April 7, both Mercury and Venus retrograde at the same time for three weeks.
In addition, because both planets will criss-cross zero degrees Aries during their retrogrades, I want us to circle March and early April as a hotspot for 2025.
I’m keeping my plate as empty as possible in March and April and expect events to fill it up quickly. Grounding each day will be really important. Here’s a silly video for comic relief — but in all seriousness, keep your routines and get your rest. It’ll be fine, but it’s helpful to have space to respond to sudden changes.
April: Final Mars-Pluto Opposition
Mercury stations direct April 7 and Venus April 12. After then, we can begin to move forward after months of retrogrades. Although direct as of Feb. 23, Mars finally changes signs into Leo on April 18, ending an unusually long period in Cancer. It will hit an opposition with Pluto one last time on April 26.
Remember the first Mars-Pluto opposition happened in Cancer and Capricorn on Nov. 3, 2024. And then in Leo and Aquarius on Jan. 2. This one on April 26 will be the last in a series of three. My hope is that we can reflect on how much we’ve grown since this cycle began. But it is an intense signature of power struggles and violence, so let’s be cautious and not take excessive risks around the week April 26.
June: Jupiter squares Saturn & Neptune
On June 9, Jupiter will move into Cancer — my favorite moment of the year, although we may not feel the full effects until the fall. Jupiter represents faith, abundance, and generosity. And it will move from its least favorite sign to its most favorite.
Jupiter in Cancer is exceptionally nurturing and expands emotional wisdom, familial bonds, and the ability to find long-term abundance through sustainable growth.
In its first few weeks, however, Jupiter will make a difficult connection to Neptune and Saturn near that zero degrees Aries point on June 15 and June 18, respectively. The themes of Aries and Cancer conflict and need to be squared away before moving forward.
So I’m expecting the middle of June — plus or minus a few weeks because this is a long-term change — to be a difficult conversation between growth and abundance and the limits of reality. We saw Jupiter square Saturn around Christmas 2024, and the news reflected some limits in finances and political reality.
By October, the power of Jupiter in Cancer will be unlocked as it moves far away from Saturn and Neptune. Jupiter’s year-long transit through Cancer is a truly great moment every 12 years. It will help provide much salve and support after a rocky year.
August: Mars Activates the Outer Planets
From Aug. 6 to 9, Mars in Libra will oppose Neptune and Saturn near that important zero degree Aries point. It will also trine Pluto and Uranus, which could amplify the changes we see in innovation, populism, and communication during 2025. Mars will end this week by squaring Jupiter, an astrology connection that can amplify Mars’ fighting spirit. With Jupiter in its preferred sign, I hope the challenges are minimized.
However, Mars’ movement through Libra in August could re-activate the hot spots of March and June. My hope is that Mars’ movement in August is not as difficult as March 2020 when Mars crossed several planets (a conjunction). This time, Mars will be in opposition, which is tense — but one small level down. Still, I’m highlighting the days of Aug. 6 to 9 in my calendar (plus or minus a week, as always).
August 11: Best day of the year?
Fortunately, shortly after the Mars astrology of August, we have an incredible day on Aug. 11. On that day, Jupiter and Venus come together in Cancer — a sign they both do well in. This event happens rarely: every 12 years at most (and sometimes not at all).
I hope this day feels like a calm in a storm, a turning point, or a balm after a hot and chaotic summer. It won’t necessarily be the be-all, end-all astrology fix to 2025 as it’s a relatively short moment. But I still want all readers to circle Aug. 11 for planning and make the most of that day. It should be great for connecting with others and finding abundance.
September: Eclipses & Return to Pisces
On Sept. 7, we have another eclipse in Pisces near Saturn. Saturn will return to Pisces on Sept. 1 and we’ll all be asked to review lessons and boundaries for that part of our chart. Since this period is hurricane season in the Northern Hemisphere and we saw huge storms last year around the Pisces eclipse, we may see such events again. Look back to Sept. 17, 2024, and review what was going on when we get closer to Sept. 7 of this year.
Sept. 21 is the second eclipse in Virgo of 2025 and may reflect some events in your life from March 14. It may also show you the inverse side of events in middle March since this eclipse is a solar eclipse whereas March was a lunar eclipse.
Q4 2025: Back to the Future?
After September, Jupiter will be solidly in Cancer without close, constraining aspects to Saturn or Neptune. Its departure from Gemini in June should correlate with less chaos in the world overall, especially in the fall when Neptune and Saturn leave Aries.
Saturn re-enters Pisces Sept. 1 and Neptune re-enters Pisces on Oct. 22. By the time Uranus re-enters Taurus on Nov. 7, all the outer planets besides Pluto will be back to where they are now. For that reason, the end of 2025 may feel eerily similar to the end of 2024.
The year also ends with a Mercury retrograde in Sagittarius, just like 2024. That happens Nov. 9 through Nov. 29th. Mercury will make a difficult aspect to Saturn three times because of the retrograde, just like it did in 2024. By that point, however, we may find the review of those themes almost comforting in their familiarity. (I am grasping for hope!)
We’ll see so much change in 2025 — especially from March to September. But by October, things may seem to be returning to more familiar ground.
In reality, 2026 emphasizes the changes from 2025 and carries them through most of the year. But 2026 is its own ball of yarn, and we’ll have more context in 12 months to understand what to expect.
My hope for fall 2025 is that we can use the more familiar energy to review, revise, and re-plan before we enter a new age entirely.
Human Design and 2027
While 2025’s transformative energy has many astrological explanations, I want to quickly bring up Human Design. Human Design a system that combines Western Astrology with Vedic Astrology, the I Ching, and other modalities.
Human Design is a tool to guide your personal energy, but it also presents cycles to study, just like astrology. For instance, in 2027 we enter a new 411-year cycle called the “Cross of the Sleeping Phoenix.” Yes, I know the name is very New Age. (Let’s celebrate this cycle’s naming in 1987.)
The “Cross of the Sleeping Phoenix” will emphasize individualism over institutions. By 2027, the theory is that we’ll all be incentivized to operate in an easier, more innovative, and individualistic way. (I am doing a disservice to Human Design with this brief overview, so if you’re interested in more, please check out Human Design expert Jenna Zoe’s presentation on 2027.)
Philosopher Jessa Reed wrote a helpful statement after last week’s inauguration, including thoughts on the new Human Design cycle:
“...for anyone feeling afraid today, I want to say that the shift toward individual empowerment (meaning each individual gets to decide what is right for them whether it be their identity, their lifestyle, where they live, etc.) will logically come from a complete overstepping and infringement from those ‘in power’.
We are meant to start to really question the institutions, not switch them out with different institutions, but to realize that institutions themselves are inherently too corruptible. We need to think OUTSIDE of the idea of systems and that thinking will come as the result of the institutions infringing on human rights.”
Human Design’s 2027 date can be correlated to all the outer planet changes we’re seeing in 2025 and 2026 as well as their interactions and effects going into the 2030s.
I also see a connection between the “Cross of the Sleeping Phoenix” and astrology’s 200-year Age of Air that began in 2020. That’s because both cycles emphasize quick change (more Air element) and the dissolution of structures (less Earth element). We are entering an era that values individual uniqueness (Aquarius) over institutional compliance (Capricorn).
Closing Thoughts
We can feel that our era is an important one, right? Maybe all people feel this way — and I’m certainly prone to hyperbole. Apparently humans have been expecting the end the world for thousands of years. But I’m not. Not now, not in the coming years.
In fact, perhaps 2025 won’t be as obviously full of change as I’m expecting, or we’ll see the change in the coming years and realize it started quietly in 2025. Or maybe our promised future will come early.
I don’t know what will happen exactly, and while challenges are possible (e.g., Uranus innovating new drone weapons) — so too are thrilling opportunities (e.g., humane AI that provides more opportunity for many). Even if the next few years are bumpy, I’m committed to seeing 2025 as the start of a new renaissance.
“We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.”
-Hopi tribe elders, 2000
I grew up in Northern Arizona near the Hopi tribe and regularly refer to one of their elders’ contemporary prophecies — a poem really. It’s more relevant than ever. And it ends with this poignant line above.
Each time I am scared or anxious; when I am looking to comfort friends or witness suffering, I return to this poem and remind myself that this is the experience I’m having right now. In that light, it’s incredibly exciting, freeing, and inspiring to think what we’ll all be doing in a few short years.

Until next week, I’ll catch you in the stars.
Hi Kevin, great read as always!
Can you say more about: "The exact midpoint of Pluto and Uranus this decade is zero degrees Aries."
How is this calculated over such a long period of time? Or is it more generalised because of Uranus entering Gemini and Pluto entering Aquarius? Looks like they'll trine each other (with a Neptune mid-point!!??) at 1 degree, 4 degrees and 6 degrees but I don't think that's what you're talking about.
Curios to know more...
This is a really helpful and thorough analysis — I’m curious what the first full year of Pluto in Aquarius will bring and the dance between the individual & collective. I’m looking at this from the perspective of political astrology but I’m trying to assess it more from an economic perspective too.
