2025: The Year You Finally Go For It (Big Picture Astrology)

"This is the year I’m finally going to go for my dream." This could be any old New Year's resolution, right?

• Start my own design studio.

• Find the love of my life and get married.

• Become a mom.

• Travel the world.

• Learn French.

Whatever has been tugging at your soul strings, chances are you’ve set a goal to go for it before—but then life got in the way.

Finances got tight, fear crept in, Mr. Right turned out to be Mr. Wrong, or the timing just didn’t feel right. Sound familiar?

Here’s the truth: there will never be a “perfect time.” And there are valid reasons we procrastinate. Change threatens the parts of us that benefit from things staying the same.

But the good news? There are moments when the energy aligns—when the Universe practically demands that you step up and take action.

And 2025? It’s one of those times.

It’s not just you. The astrological transits this year are ushering in a whole new era for humanity, making it practically impossible for things to stay the same. So…

• What’s the one thing you’ve been putting off?

• What dream, desire, or goal have you been carrying in your heart?

• What if this is the year you finally go for it?

This year is bursting with break-free energy—big cosmic shifts are lining up to support bold, lasting change.

But let’s be clear... Just because the tide is changing doesn’t mean you’ll automatically have a great surf day. You need to actually get on the board—and have the right skills in place ahead of time.

Put simply, when you prepare and actively engage with the planetary energies, you step into mastery of your life. What once felt impossible becomes entirely within reach.

The Big Picture Astrology of 2025: Why It’s Time to Stop Waiting

2025 is set up to make staying the same almost impossible. The transits this year are like powerful gusts of wind pushing you off the edge—not to punish you, but to help you finally take flight.

This year brings a dynamic blend of energy that supports bold action, deep transformation, and significant breakthroughs. If you’ve been waiting for a sign, this is it. The cosmos is delivering a once-in-a-lifetime push to help you align your dreams with tangible reality.

Here’s a look at the key transits driving this momentum and why they’re so powerful:

March 30, 2025: Neptune Enters Aries

Neptune shifts from Pisces into bold, action-oriented Aries—a significant transition marking the end of a 14-year cycle of deep introspection and dreaming. If you’re a Pisces or Pisces rising, you’ve likely undergone a complete transformation during this transit (Pisces rising here, and I can confirm—so true!).

But here’s the thing: we all have Pisces somewhere in our charts, and that area has likely been a place of fog, confusion, and subtle evolution. Neptune’s influence may have left you wandering down an unexpected path, arriving at a destination you didn’t anticipate.

We’ve had time to dream with Neptune in Pisces, but by now, you probably have a vision—a calling, a knowing. Neptune moving into Aries is a cosmic call to action. It’s time to stop dreaming and start doing.

Neptune’s Transition into Aries Timeline:

• March 30, 2025: Ingress Aries

• July 4, 2025: Retrograde at 2° Aries

• October 22, 2025: Back to 0° Aries

• December 10, 2025: Direct at 29° Pisces

• January 26, 2026: Re-enters Aries for good

These are key dates to mark in your calendar—moments to pause, reassess, and refine your vision as Neptune oscillates between endings (Pisces) and new beginnings (Aries). It’s a time to align your heart-driven actions with your dreams and fully step into this new era.

May 24, 2025: Saturn Enters Aries

(Within 1 Degree of Neptune)

Saturn’s shift into Aries brings a crucial reality check. Wherever Saturn moves, it demands mastery, responsibility, and effort. If Neptune has been whispering your dreams, Saturn is the force that says, “Prove it.”

Expect delays, challenges, and tests of endurance as you work to bring your vision to life. But here’s the gift: Saturn in Aries provides a unique opportunity to structure your fiery ambition, turning fleeting inspiration into a sustainable, long-term effort.

Instead of burning out quickly, you’ll find the potential to build a steady flame—one that fuels your progress consistently and reliably.

And with Neptune traveling closely alongside Saturn until late August, there’s a beautiful synergy at play:

• Neptune inspires; Saturn builds.

• Neptune dreams; Saturn plans.

• Neptune envisions; Saturn grounds.

The message: You don’t have to have it all figured out at once. Saturn will retrograde back and forth, giving you the time you need to refine your efforts and stay the course.

Saturn’s Transition into Aries Timeline:

• May 24, 2025: Ingress Aries

• July 12, 2025: Retrograde at 2° Aries

• September 1, 2025: Back at 0 Aries

• November 27, 2025: Direct at 25° Pisces

• February 13, 2026: Into Aries for good

July 7, 2025: Uranus Enters Gemini

Uranus, the planet of radical change, innovation, and disruptions, moves into Gemini, sparking a period of accelerated learning, fresh ideas, and exciting breakthroughs.

Expect shifts in communication, technology, and how we share information. Uranus in Gemini invites adaptability, quick thinking, and creative problem-solving. It’s a perfect time to explore new skills, pivot in your career, or step into a more dynamic version of yourself.

But here’s the twist: Uranus will move back and forth between Taurus and Gemini over the next year, ensuring any lingering resistance to change is addressed. Uranus has been shaking up Taurus since 2018, challenging us to rethink stability, finances, and personal values. If you’ve experienced major disruptions in these areas, this final dance between signs is here to help you integrate the lessons.

Once Uranus fully settles into Gemini by 2026, you’ll be primed to embrace new perspectives and unexpected opportunities that expand your horizons. Be open to spontaneity — this is a time when breakthroughs can happen in the most unexpected ways.

Uranus’s Transition into Gemini Timeline:

• July 7, 2025: Ingress Gemini

• September 5, 2025: Retrograde at 1° Gemini

• November 7, 2025: Back into Taurus

• February 3, 2026: Stations at 27° Taurus

• April 25, 2026: Back into Gemini

November 19, 2024: Pluto in Aquarius

(Ongoing Transit)

Pluto’s long-term journey through Aquarius (close to 20 years!) is bringing deep, revolutionary transformation — especially in how we connect with community, technology, and the larger systems that shape our lives. This transit isn’t t just about change; it’s about breaking old paradigms and ushering in a new era of innovation, equality, and collective empowerment.

We’re re already seeing Pluto’s influence, from the rapid rise of AI to decentralization movements reshaping finance, governance, and digital spaces. Technology is no longer just a tool, it’s becoming a force that challenges traditional power structures. How we relate to data, privacy, and digital identity will evolve dramatically in the years ahead.

On a personal level, Pluto in Aquarius asks you to reevaluate your relationship with social structures, friendships, and group dynamics. Are you aligned with people and communities that support your authenticity and evolution? This is a time to release outdated mindsets, affiliations, and dependencies that no longer serve you.

And let’s s be honest — we all need to rethink our relationship with technology. Pluto in Aquarius forces us to consciously engage with innovation rather than passively consume it. Are these advancements truly liberating you, or are they subtly controlling your choices? This is your moment to take back your power and redefine how you navigate the digital age, community, and personal freedom.

Why This Year’s Energy Is So Potent & How to Make The Most Of it

All of these planets—Neptune, Saturn, Uranus, and Pluto—are moving into yang, action-oriented signs. They’re primed for momentum, creation, and breakthrough. But here’s the real kicker: they’ll all be in the early degrees of their respective signs for months at a time, forming powerful alignments that make this energy feel like pure rocket fuel.

This isn’t just a nudge from the universe—it’s a full-blown “Get up and GO” moment. And since these planets have all recently shifted into new signs, they’re activating new parts of your life (and your chart). This is once-in-a-lifetime transformation.

Change is happening, whether we’re ready or not. But if you find yourself resisting, that doesn’t mean you’re on the wrong path. It just means there’s work to do in order to fully align with the shift.

Here’s How to Work With This Epic Year:

1. If you feel resistance, explore parts work.

Resistance doesn’t mean stop—it means a part of you isn’t on board yet. Parts work is a powerful tool for identifying and working with the inner voices that hold you back. If you’re new to it, there are tons of great resources available. And if you don’t want to go it alone, working with a practitioner (like me!) can help you move through it.

2. Start before you’re ready.

Aries energy doesn’t wait for a perfect plan—it acts. Yes, having a rough outline and setting goals is great, but more than anything, you need to summon your courage, trust that it’s time, and take the leap.

3. What worked before won’t work now.

We’re in a new era—which means new strategies, new thinking, and a willingness to innovate. The old ways? They don’t fit anymore. Be open to fresh approaches and bold moves.

4. Stay flexible.

With so much change in the air, adaptability is key to your well-being. If your launch flops? That’s not failure—it’s feedback. If your dream trip to France gets canceled? That’s a cosmic redirection—pay attention to where you’re being guided instead.

5. Be gentle with yourself.

Change is hard—on our nervous systems, on our emotions, and on our sense of safety. We’re biologically and socially wired to cling to the familiar. So expect some resistance—and work with it, not against it.

A powerful way to do this is through titration—making small shifts instead of forcing an overhaul overnight. Ease into the new, bit by bit, while allowing yourself to hold onto some familiar comforts along the way. This helps your system feel less threatened and more open to lasting transformation.

Common Pitfalls to Avoid in 2025

Even with the cosmos cheering you on, transformation comes with challenges. Here are the key pitfalls to watch for—and how to avoid them:

1. Waiting too long to act.

Neptune’s dreamy influence can tempt you to keep planning and imagining rather than doing. Perfectionism and self-doubt might whisper, “You’re not ready yet.” But waiting too long can leave you missing crucial windows of opportunity.

Tip: Start before you feel fully prepared. Progress, not perfection, is the goal.

2. Running people off the road.

With fiery Aries energy and the rapid pace of Uranus in Gemini, you may feel hyper-focused on your goals. But be careful not to bulldoze others in your pursuit of success. Collaboration and connection are key to long-term growth.

Tip: Check in with those around you. Balance your ambition with compassion.

3. Burnout

The drive to achieve everything all at once can quickly lead to mental, emotional, and physical exhaustion. Saturn and Neptune traveling together may challenge you to pace yourself and prioritize self-care.

Tip: Break tasks into manageable steps, and don’t forget to rest. Sustainable growth is better than a quick sprint.

Closing Thoughts – Your 2025 Journey

2025 isn’t just another year—it’s a turning point. There’s so much momentum building up to get you to the life you’ve been envisioning.

This isn’t about perfection or having all the answers. It’s about trusting the process, taking bold steps, and staying committed, even when things feel messy or uncertain. 

And there’s a lot of support here helping you learn and refine as you go. These big hitter planets are all dancing back and forth over the threshold making sure you have more than one chance to get it right… and adjust to the changes unfolding.

As the year unfolds, ask yourself:
What do I want my life to look like in a few years?
What story will I be able to tell about the risks I took?

These transits are impacting all of us collectively but they’re also having unique alignment to your personal chart. If you want to know how this really aligns for you and get support working towards your goals, you can check out the different ways to work with me here.

Are you ready to say yes?
