The unfolding of 2025 signals the beginning of a new cycle of change.
By Jo Mooy
It’s traditional to review the year past while planning for the year ahead. Because 2024 was so unusual, I went back to all the predictions made by psychics and astrologers to see what they said. I learned that most of the “experts” who were predicting “this or that event was going to happen” unilaterally missed the mark. And yet, their predictions, which are usually influenced by their personal belief systems, imprint us and guide our direction each year.
It’s natural to turn to psychics and astrologers and gather their insights each year. Somehow, we think they have a “view” that’s loftier than our own innate instincts and insights. Yet, their predictions for 2024 were all over the place and included who was going to win elections, governments that would collapse, and the death of long-term political leaders. I kept a list of their predictions and the dates and was shocked to realize that 90 percent of what they said would happen did not happen.
However, there was one prediction that was consistent and did occur. All of them said, (and this was supported by NOAA and the UN Foundation) that the “world is facing a climate catastrophe triggered by a warming planet.” One did not have to be a psychic to figure that out. All you had to do was go outside and feel the excessive heat and witness unprecedented back-to-back hurricanes.
I’m not an astrologer or a psychic, but my intuition tells me the world is teetering on the edge. Massive changes are on humanity’s collective horizon. Elections held all over the world have turned out liberal politicians as the electorates supported more conservative and nationalistic values. Younger voters making up the next generation have decided what’s important to them and to their children. The baby boomers finally passed the torch to them and it’s now their world to act and govern from their beliefs.
As the torch is passed, it’s wise to remember that everything in this universe occurs in cycles. It’s the nature of evolution that everything changes. The unfolding of 2025 signals the beginning of a new cycle of change. How it unfolds is guesswork right now. Some will see this cycle with excitement and happiness. Some will only see despair and sadness. Whatever is unfolding is in the eye of the beholder. What they see is what will occur.
My esoteric training tells me that there is a Divine Plan unfolding—though we may not know the details or understand the endgame. That training also taught me that there’s a balance in the cycles that keeps everything in equanimity. With the passing of the torch, we can still use spiritual practices to keep the light burning. Many do it in big ways, others in small ways in their circles of influence.
As the year unfolds, we can continue to serve our communities in ways that inspire. We can collectively hold high values and high ideals and envision those qualities permeating the atmosphere. And in the end, when we pray for a Most Benevolent Outcome the Divine Plan is unfolding as it should, whether it’s what we envisioned or not. For at the end of the cycle all shall be well and all manner of things shall be well. It always is.
