FOREWORD
Get ready for a year of dramatic transformations and thrilling cosmic events! In 2025, we will experience a period of intense shedding and rebirth. The Year of the Snake sets the stage for a descent into the Underworld, guided by Lilith and Vesta in Scorpio—the sign of death and resurrection. Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune transition between signs, shedding and redressing. Adding to the cosmic storm, both Mars and Venus retrograde in the fiery signs of Leo and Aries, while mystical eclipses, guided by the Dragon in Pisces, illuminate our paths and accelerate events. And let’s not forget the Grand Benevolent, Jupiter, who, after a challenging exile in Gemini, finally returns to his exalted sign of Cancer mid-year, bringing hope and renewal.
Astrology is rooted in the ancient alchemical axiom “as above, so below.” 2025 showcases this mystical equation vividly with Neptune, Uranus, Saturn, Lunar Nodes, and Jupiter all shedding their signs, prompting us to undergo similar transitions. Additionally, the numerology of the year 2025 is 9, symbolizing endings and new beginnings. In the Kabbalistic Tree of Life, 9 is represented by the sphere Foundation – the vessel of magic, transformation, death, reincarnation, intimacy, sexuality, and the occult. The sphere’s assigned name of God is Shaddai “God of the wilderness,” or to paraphrase – God of the Wildlings.
These intense transits of 2025 represent the shedding of shadows, but what about the rebirth? For that, we need to look at Neptune, Saturn, and the North Node, who are transiting right over the first degree of Aries, the cusp that links the last sign, Pisces, with the first sign, Aries. The initial degree of Aries marks the Spring Equinox, the most sacred “real estate” of the zodiac wheel. The significance of this cosmic synchronicity is multifold and will take decades to unwrap, but with the help of Jupiter moving to his sign of exaltation in the second part of the year, we can expect a great deal of new beginnings rising out of the ashes. One thing is clear: to successfully navigate this uber intense year, we need to become witches and warlocks, wizards and enchantresses. This book is designed to be your cosmic GPS, helping you navigate the waves of probability as they collapse into reality.
Aries and Aries Rising – I Am
Letting Go & Changing Gears
General Trends: This is a powerful year for your clan as Neptune, Saturn, and the North Node transit over your border with Pisces, allowing you to tap into your mystical potential as well as achieve your practical mundane goals. The first and last three months of the year you continue letting go and detoxing from negative people and situations, but from April until September, you will be hosting Saturn for the first time since 1996 – 1998, and this means things are getting serious with the Lord Karma auditing you but nevertheless grounding your gifts and talents. This is a great year for real estate, relocation, and starting a family.

Reaching the Top of the Mountain
General Trends: You are continuing your journey up the sacred mountain of your career and need to focus on your professional life and worldly achievements.

In 2025 you can access your talents as well as increase your self-worth. With the North Node in your career, you need to let go of family expectation and even compromise your home life in favor of career and responsibility toward your community’s welfare.
Pluto in Aquarius for Gemini: Philosophy, Wisdom, Truth, and Travel

Pluto in Aquarius for Cancer: Shared Resources, Passion, Intimacy, and Shamanism
Pluto is taking you down to his realm, the Underworld. Like Orpheus, you are descending into the shadow, ready to reclaim your healing abilities, as well as passion and sexuality. Of all the signs, you are the only one invited by Pluto into his domain, and he is ready to initiate you into the secrets of the occult and tantra. While you are known for being the midwife and bringer of life, the next twenty years you will serve also as a doula of death, helping people die and let go.

This period is designed to transform your personal and professional relationships, trying to infuse them with more intimacy and authenticity.

Mirrors, Relationships, and Balance
Major Trends: This year you continue focusing on your relationships and partnerships. Many of you will get divorced, some will find a partner and get married, a few might do both. With the South Node and eclipses falling in your sign, you are asked to be less of a Virgo – stay away from your typical perfectionism and analytical aspects of your sign and learn to accept yours as well as other people’s flaws and round the corners. Expect opportunities in the first part of the year furthering your career and in the second part of 2025, you could benefit from connecting to new groups of friends, increased flow of clients, and connection with technology.

Pluto in Aquarius for Libra: Children, Romance, Recreation, and Creativity
Libras, you are asked by Pluto to transform how you define and experience happiness. Engage more in team sports and hobbies you can do in a group or with your digital friends. It is a time to connect creativity with innovation. Additionally, you will undergo transformations in your connection to children, as well as baby projects. Explore innovative ways to create, entertain, and enjoy what life has to offer.

Scorpio and Scorpio Rising – I Transform
Finding, Cultivating, and Sharing Joy
Major Trends: Saturn continues teaching you how to be positive and connect to happening and creativity. A year of focusing on children, grandchildren, as well as your inner child.

The first part of the year can bring expansion with shared assets, investments, your passion, intimacy and sexuality, while the second part of 2025 creates opportunities for travel, education, and defining your philosophy. Since the Black Moon Lilith would be in your sign most of the year, please take care of your image, how people perceive you, and your brand. This intense transit happens once in 9 years.
Pluto in Aquarius for Scorpio: Home, Family, Parenting, and Real Estate
Pluto, your ruler, is in a sign that is square to yours, making it a bit uncomfortable and potentially forcing you into actions you’d rather not take, especially at home or with family members. Be extra careful to avoid unwanted pregnancies unless you are planning for it. Pluto can bring about transformations in your home life, family dynamics, and where you feel safe. It is a good time to relocate to a place with a strong community or closer to friends. This is a great time for remodeling your home and office, or changing cars, especially to an electric vehicle. Ancestral traumas or intergenerational karma might arise, necessitating healing. It’s a good time to change parenting techniques.
Sagittarius and or Sagittarius Rising – I See
The Journey Homeward
General Trends: In 2025 your pivot towards home and family continues. 2025 should be dedicated to settling down, healing ancestral traumas, and practicing parenthood. Jupiter, your ruler, can help you find a partner or heal your current relationships in the first part of the year, while in the second part of 2025, Jupiter connects you to your talents, promising to increase your finances, improve investments, or benefiting from your partner’s income and talent. There could be enemies that were hidden before, raising their heads. Therefore, avoid gossip or getting into other people’s drama.
Pluto in Aquarius for Sagittarius: Communication, Relatives, and Messaging
As the sign of mass media and publishing, Pluto is eager to transform the message you wish to publish to the world. While you usually excel in world travel, the next two decades will ask you to travel within your own country, focus on your own language, and refine your methods of communication. If you were a country, you would be transforming your harbors, airports, highways, train system, and fiber optics. Additionally, Pluto changes your relationships with your neighbors, siblings, relatives, and roommates. Embrace innovative, futuristic, and even rebellious ways of thinking and expressing yourself.

First was the Word and the Word was God
General Trends: Saturn, your ruler, continues rectifying the way you communicate, write, conduct your business, and deal with relatives.

The first part of the year, you will be experiencing expansion in your work and health while the second part of 2025 promises good news with your relationships in work or life. While Capricorn favors their professional life, 2025 can connect you to your personal life as well. In addition, 2025 is a year to listen carefully to your intuition, dreams, and psychic hits.
Pluto in Aquarius for Capricorn: Finances, Talents, Values, and Self-Worth
From 2008 until 2024 you were tasked with hosting Pluto and this year you are happy to let Aquarius deal with the Lord of Death and Transformation. Nevertheless, Pluto asks you to bring changes to how you earn your income, deal with your finances, and project your self-worth. Additionally, you will find yourself open to changing and reshaping your values and core attitudes. Ensure that the way you make money is tied to your true talents and congruent with your values.

Money Can’t Buy Me Love (But it sure can other things)

With the Dragon coming into the sector of your chart relating to money, you can expect opportunities to increase your finances as long as you stick to your values and believe you deserve abundance.
Pluto in Aquarius for Aquarius: Identity, Image, and Body Transformation
Of all the signs, you were chosen to host Pluto for the next twenty years. This means that all aspects of your life are going through major transformation. It is vital that you keep up with the times, upgrade and update yourself, and find ways to bring the future to the here and now.

Pluto in Aquarius for Pisces: Mysticism, Imagination, Past Lifetimes, and Letting Go
Pluto is asking you to connect with what you were designed to do: be the mystic, intuitive, dreamer, and empath of the zodiac. Of all the signs, only you and your opposite, Virgo, were given the task to enhance and transmute your own archetype, promising success and recognition by simply being yourself. This is the time to travel to your subconscious, past lifetimes, astral plane, dream time, and the collective unconscious to bring your tribe the boon, the gifts only you can access.
