2025 has long been hailed as a momentous year in the evolution of humankind. It is said that by this time, we will have made our choice as to what path we will follow - the path of love, or the path of fear. We have been given enough contrast now to know what is the moral code we chose to experience life on Earth. For me, personally I made that choice a long time ago, but with it comes the work, the responsibility and the dedication. To constantly remind ourselves of the path we have chosen, we are shown over and over again the contrast. It reveals the shadow side of humanity. When I look at my own experience on Earth, I see the natural world, and an overlay on top of that of the unnatural world. One exploits and devours the other for its own means, the other is simply in harmony and alignment with the natural world, the universal consciousness.
I have read many predictions for 2025, and the astrologers mention some massive changes in the outer planets of our solar system. These movements into new signs brings enormous changes, specifically to the existing structures that are no longer compatible with humanity's evolution. Change is afoot. I'm excited to watch this next year unfold, although it may hold a lot of turmoil and chaos, it also heralds in a new era.
In numerology, 2025 is a 9 year, which means endings and beginnings, and in Chinese Astrology we enter the Year of the Wood Snake. As with all cycles, there is always death of the old, and rebirth of the new. A letting go and shedding of the skin. A transformation and renewal, as well as a coming back to intuition and wisdom of the past cycle. Learning from the past to know what we don't want to experience in the future.
2025, will be grandiose, and for that reason, I'm chosing to offer myself in service to the Sacred. I chose the path of love and compassion for others, witnessing the unfolding of the next phase that carries the human collective consciousness. I will commune with the natural world to keep me grounded. Spending time in nature, in stillness to recognise the beauty around and within me. It is dedication to honour the divine in everything. To create a sacred place of my home, my body, my family, my work.
Every year I have a list of things to remind me to stay focused, and it can be applied to Embracing 2025!
Move your body - exercise, walk, dance, hike, swim, surf, run. play. Anything that gets the energy moving around your body.
Rest and relaxation - taking time in your day to chill out, to be still so you an rejuvenate
Nature - whether it is your garden, the forest, the beach, a river or lake, the mountains, the snow.
Become the witness - stepping back and observing what is going on around you, without being drawn into it
Honour your body - this amazing vessel that our soul encapsulates. Speak gentle words of encouragement and thanks
Gratitude - for all you have had, for all that is now, for all that will be.
Forgiveness - letting go of old wounds and hurts. Taking responsibility for self
Take action - every small step is a step in the right direction
Community - togetherness, the companionship, sharing and caring of humanity
Stay Grounded - feet on the Earth, hug a tree, a cleansing shower, ice bath, being in nature, gardening
Sound - Use your voice, tone, hum, sing, laugh out loud, Om, or go to a sound healing
Most importantly this year, is being able to trust your own inner voice, your intuition, and not being afraid to do what it says. For so long, humans have been told what to do, how to live, how to behave. Who to support. The media has set the stage for moral conduct of the people, while its leaders have blatantly abused their positions of power by corruption and manipulation. Trusting yourself, your body, your soul is a radical act of defiance, a breaking free - a transformation that aligns with 2025.
I wish you all the best for embracing 2025.
