2025: The Road to Transformation—Endings, Beginnings and the Path Forward

2025 is no ordinary year. With its numerological energy, astrological shifts, and the symbolic power of the Year of the Snake, THIS is a moment of profound transformation—a time to release what no longer serves and prepare for what’s next.

Let’s start with the numbers. In numerology, 2025 reduces to 9 (2+0+2+5=9), a universal year of endings, reflection, and karmic completion. Nine energy invites us to tie up loose ends, honor cycles, and create space for something new. But here’s the kicker: this isn’t just about personal reflection—it’s about collective transformation on a massive scale.

Nine years ago, in 2016, we experienced another Universal Year 9—a time of disruption, reflection, and profound shifts. This means that 2025 isn’t just a year of endings; it’s also a chance to revisit the lessons of the past.

Think back to 2016. It was a year that changed the game in so many ways. Donald Trump’s election shocked the world, igniting waves of chaos, division, and societal transformation. Now, in 2025, he’s back in office, and we’re being challenged to reflect on what we’ve learned—or haven’t—from the past nine years.

Conspiracy theories like Pizzagate dominated 2016, testing the limits of misinformation and online free speech. Fast-forward to 2025, and we’re seeing echoes of that as Meta drops its fact-checking policies, throwing us into another conversation about unchecked information. Are we approaching these challenges differently this time, OR are we stuck in the same cycles?

And then there’s TikTok. In 2016, young TikTokers pulled off one of the most iconic trolls of all time, sabotaging Trump’s rally attendance and sparking his call to ban the app. Now, in 2025, TikTok’s revival feels almost poetic, with Trump ironically positioned as its unexpected savior. The universe really does have a sense of humor—or maybe it’s just showing us how everything eventually comes full circle.

Pop culture, too, mirrors these cycles. In 2016, Beyoncé shook the world with Lemonade, redefining music and activism. Today, artists like Bad Bunny are doing the same—dominating global charts and reshaping what it means to be a cultural leader with his hit album, Debí Tirar Más Fotos. Bad Bunny, whose career exploded in 2016, is stepping into another 9-year moment of mastery, fulfillment, and reinvention.

And then there’s us. For me, 2016 was the year I stepped onto a yoga mat for the first time. What started as curiosity turned into a life-changing journey of healing, empowerment, and self-discovery. Yoga helped me reconnect with my body and spirit, laying the foundation for everything I’ve created since—including Dee.Asana.

Now, in 2025, I find myself reflecting on how far I’ve come. From a beginner on the mat to a teacher, entrepreneur, and guide, this year feels like a sacred full-circle moment. It’s asking me—and all of us—to honor how far we’ve come, release what no longer serves, and rebuild with intention.

Nine years challenge us to face the energy we’ve built over the last cycle and decide what we’re taking with us into the next chapter. The question is: are we paying attention?

What sets 2025 apart is that it’s not just a Universal Year 9—it’s also part of what historians call the Fourth Turning. This generational theory suggests that every 80-100 years, society goes through a massive crisis that forces old systems to collapse, paving the way for something new. Think: the American Revolution, the Civil War, the Great Depression, and World War II.

We’re in the midst of this transformative cycle now, with 2025 being a pivotal moment. The old ways of doing things are no longer sustainable. Outdated systems—political, economic, and cultural—are crumbling, and we’re being called to rise from the ashes.

The Fourth Turning is a collective “wake-up call.” It’s a reckoning with our past and a reminder that we have the power to shape what’s next. Combined with the energy of a Universal Year 9, this moment asks us to let go of fear, lean into courage, and co-create a future that’s rooted in alignment and authenticity.

If the numerology and pop culture parallels weren’t enough, 2025 is also an astrological powerhouse. The outer planets—Pluto, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Jupiter—are all changing signs, signaling rare and profound collective shifts. Outer planets represent the larger forces that shape society, so when they move, the ripple effects are felt across the globe. Here’s what to watch:

• Pluto in Aquarius (Nov 2024 - 2043): Pluto represents destruction and rebirth, and in Aquarius, it’s breaking down outdated systems to pave the way for innovation, equality, and collective power. Expect breakthroughs in technology (AI, anyone?), societal reform, and a deeper focus on global collaboration. This is the energy of revolution, not just evolution.

• Saturn in Aries (May 2025): Saturn’s shift into Aries asks us to step into bold leadership and self-discipline. This is about courageously taking action, even when the path is unclear, and embracing the responsibility of carving new beginnings.

• Uranus in Gemini (July 2025): Uranus, the disruptor, brings revolutionary change to how we communicate, learn, and share ideas. In Gemini, we’ll see major advancements in AI, media, and social connection, but we’re also being challenged to think critically about how we consume and disseminate information.

• Neptune in Aries (March 2025): Neptune’s transition from Pisces to Aries shifts us from dreamy spirituality to bold spiritual action. It’s time to lead with heart, embrace big visions, and redefine how we heal—both individually and collectively.

• Jupiter’s Dance (Gemini to Cancer): Jupiter amplifies everything it touches. Its move from Gemini’s intellectual energy to Cancer’s nurturing focus invites us to balance logic with emotion, knowledge with empathy, and individuality with connection.

This astrological lineup creates a profound opportunity for transformation, but it’s also a lot to process. Change of this magnitude is rarely comfortable, but it’s always necessary.

So how do we navigate all this change and transformation?

2025 is asking us to:

• Release: Let go of the beliefs, patterns, and systems that no longer serve you. This is the year to declutter your life—emotionally, spiritually, and even physically. Let the endings come, knowing they’re making space for new beginnings.

• Reflect: Look back at the past nine years with honesty and gratitude. What have you learned? How have you grown? Reflecting on these lessons can help you move forward with clarity and purpose.

• Rebuild: Create your next chapter intentionally. Set clear goals, lean into your values, and build something that aligns with the person you’re becoming.

But here’s the thing—change like this requires more than action. It also demands sanctuary. In a world that feels chaotic, finding inner peace and clarity is essential.

We’ll need to:

• Look inward: When the world feels unstable, cultivate a sense of safety within yourself. Find sanctuary in your daily rituals, your breath, and your moments of stillness.

• Prioritize self-care: Make space for rest, reflection, and inner parenting. Nurture yourself as you navigate these shifts.

• Lean on community: Connection is vital during times of transformation. Surround yourself with people who uplift and support you.

• Focus on what matters: Let go of distractions and focus on your values, purpose, and the people you love.

• Shift your perspective: Change is messy and uncertain, but it’s also full of potential. Trust that the darkness around us isn’t the darkness of the tomb—it’s the darkness of the womb. Growth is happening, even if we can’t see it yet.

Remember: vision is usually only 20/20 in hindsight, which means we’ll also need to lean into faith. Trust that every ending is creating space for something better. Trust that 2025 is actually a gift…

2025 is the ultimate clean slate—a year of profound release, reflection, and rebuilding. It’s asking us to embrace the discomfort of transformation and trust in the process. Together, we can let go of the old, lean into the new, and co-create a future that feels authentic, aligned, and deeply intentional.

Let’s walk into this year with courage, clarity, and a whole lot of faith.
