What makes some years – like 2025 – extra ‘particular’ astrology-wise than others?
It mainly comes all the way down to outer planets forming vital alignments. Let’s take 1969, 1989, and 2020 as examples of different milestone years:
- In 1969, we had a Jupiter-Uranus conjunction in Libra, a part of a stellium with Pluto and the South Node, marking a time of cultural and technological revolution
- In 1989, the Saturn-Uranus-Neptune alignment in Capricorn heralded the collapse of the Berlin Wall and the tip of the Chilly Struggle
- In 2020, the Saturn-Pluto conjunction (a part of a Capricorn stellium) adopted by the Jupiter-Saturn conjunction at 0° Aquarius triggered a seismic shift in world constructions
What these years have in widespread is uncommon outer planetary alignments. Since Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto transfer very slowly, their conjunctions, oppositions, and stelliums are fairly uncommon. Once they DO happen, they coincide with profound societal shifts.
2025 is a type of years.
Saturn, the Lunar Nodes, Uranus, and Neptune all change indicators, and the outer planets – Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto – join by way of a Minor Triangle, a uncommon and highly effective configuration.
Essentially the most hanging characteristic of 2025 is Saturn and Neptune getting into Aries collectively. 0° Aries is the start of the zodiac, some extent of initiation and new cycles. This alignment indicators a strong new starting – a real Genesis second.
The first half of 2025 is marked by a collection of great planetary ingresses. Virtually every little thing modifications indicators:
- The Lunar Nodes (January 2025)
- Neptune (March 2025)
- Saturn (Might 2025)
- Jupiter (June 2025)
- Uranus (July 2025)
This creates an environment of unprecedented novelty. The astrological panorama shifts dramatically. Our focus and priorities fully change. We’re getting into a brand-new chapter.
The 2nd half of the yr is formed by the Uranus-Neptune-Pluto Minor Triangle. This configuration weaves collectively the modifications initiated earlier within the yr. Out of the chaos of fast change, one thing coherent and forward-looking will emerge.
The change will likely be elementary as it should shift the constructions of our society. Till 2025, the outer planets have been predominantly in Earth indicators, with Neptune in Pisces (a Water signal). However beginning in 2025, these planets transfer into Hearth and Air indicators.
2025 isn’t just one other yr – it’s the beginning of a totally new period.
2025 By Quarters
If we divide 2025 into quarters, we word distinct themes:
- Q1 – the first quarter – is the ‘retrograde’ quarter, with Mars and later Venus in retrograde movement
- Q2 is the ‘change’ quarter, characterised by a number of outer planets altering indicators
- Q3 is the ‘Minor Triangle’ quarter, because the power of Uranus trine Pluto and sextile Neptune reaches its peak
- This fall is the ‘Water Trine’ quarter, highlighted by Jupiter in Most cancers forming a trine with Saturn and Neptune.
Every quarter builds on the earlier one, resulting in an interconnected narrative. By the tip of 2025, every little thing will make sense.
