Uranus the Changemaker

2025 has presented challenges for many people. The astrology this year has been astonishing, full of the promise of profound change, but also fiercely testing. Now, at last, a little respite, as two beautiful energy patterns dominate the sky in November/December.

• Lean into your soft side as Jupiter romances Saturn in the water signs of Cancer and Pisces. Open your heart to the kindness, sensitivity, and compassion now on offer. Care about something or someone. A realistic opportunity may arise for restoring hope that a problem will all work out. Provided you give it time and effort.
  
  
• There is also magic in the air as Uranus, the changemaker, zaps mystical Neptune in an exciting alliance. Ideas about spiritual realities that were popular in the 1990’s, when these two planets began a new cycle, offer clues to what may develop further now. Like the ‘New Science’, (string theory, the holotropic cosmos), new psychologies that extend beyond an ego-centred idea of the self (Jung, mindfulness), and mass entertainment that enchants us with mythical worlds and magic (Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings). Believe it or not, favourable conditions are again present for new ideas about inner realms to change the world.

As 2025 draws to a close, we glimpse the good that comes from living life as a soul journey. By turning within, we can sense the sacred, find higher meaning, make connection with all that is, and be guided by our bodies, feelings, imagination, and the Earth itself.

Yet by necessity, we grow into a soul journey precisely through the trials and tests of our lives. As immense forces gather for collective change, the challenges of 2025 are therefore part of the deal. Even as the hero’s journey fails, an inner journey can equip us for what lies ahead.
