The year 2025 unfolded for me under the gentle yet powerful energies of the Moon. Its influence meant spending more time with family, being present in whichever way my presence was required. I felt grateful to balance my work life with family commitments, especially as I looked forward to attending weddings in the family—occasions that promised reunions with cousins I hadn’t met in ages. Yet, life has its way of teaching lessons in unexpected places.
I realized that sometimes the deepest hurts come from those you trust the most. The wedding itself was brilliantly organized, full of joy and celebration, but midway through, my husband fell ill and could not be part of half the festivities. Those I longed to meet could not make time to see me, and after ten days in my hometown, the drive back left my heart heavy. Listening to the voice within, I could feel the weight of unspoken emotions surrounding me.
March 2025 was especially significant, marked by a rare seven-planet stellium—a celestial parade of Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune visible after sunset. It coincided with a total lunar eclipse on March 14 and a partial solar eclipse on March 29, all within a powerful Pisces stellium that carried strong implications for creativity and healing.
Each planet seemed to whisper its own guidance: Mercury urged me to use caution and intelligence, to discern right from wrong. Venus ignited fires within my heart, drawing me closer to my feelings. Mars pushed me into action—meeting everyone, forgiving past grievances. In my excitement, I forgot the wisdom that forgiveness does not mean forgetting. I believed people evolve with age, but sadly, some do not, and my openness attracted envy. Jupiter reminded me to believe in myself, to hold faith in my inner strength. Saturn asked me to recheck the structures of past family dynamics, to see where lessons still lingered. Uranus and Neptune, higher octaves of Mercury and Venus, warned me to wield emotional intelligence wisely. Yet, I went overboard, and in my eagerness, I invited misery through the envy of others.
Throughout the year, I walked a thin rope between my role as a wife, mother, grandmother and my calling as a life coach. The choices I had to make between personal and professional priorities carried weight, sometimes heavier than I could bear. There were moments when I felt a crushing heaviness on my shoulders, especially when I saw loved ones imbalanced. Their struggles shook me deeply, reminding me how fragile life can feel. Yet, even in those moments of doubt, an unforeseen force kept me moving forward. It was as if the universe itself whispered encouragement, guiding me when to lie low and be patient, and when to rise and take action.
On the outside, my life seemed enviable. As I travelled to far-off countries meeting my daughter and her family , to the world it looked like I was living a luxurious dream. Envy followed me, as if the surface of my life told the whole story. But my relatives and many around me were oblivious to the battles I was fighting within—the silent wars to protect my sanity, to keep faith alive, and to stay true to the belief system I share with my clients. The truth is, 2025 demanded patience and unwavering faith. It tested my strength in ways I had never imagined. It asked me to embody the very lessons I preach: resilience, trust in universal intelligence, and the courage to surrender when surrender is wiser than struggle.
In October 2025, major shifts added a different layer of intensity: the Sun moved from Libra to Scorpio on October 23, Jupiter entered Cancer on October 18, and Venus transitioned from Virgo to Libra on October 9. Mars remained in Scorpio, Saturn stayed retrograde in Pisces, and Pluto turned direct in Aquarius mid-month. Together, these movements created significant astrological energy for transformation, communication, and relationships, shaping the way I experienced the closing months of the year.
As the year drew closer to its end, something shifted. The last three months—from October through December—brought a gentle easing of situations. My personal circumstances not only improved, they blossomed into a reminder of grace. It felt as though the energies I am always open to were teaching me that through struggle comes wisdom. I learned powerful lessons in that period: to discern clearly whom I needed to cut off from my life and who deserved a place in my inner circle; to understand that as one grows older, it becomes necessary to shrink the world around you, focusing only on what truly matters; to accept that tough times are not punishments but teachers, showing me who and what holds real value in my life. These realizations did more than ease my burdens—they reiterated my faith in celestial guidance. The wisdom of the universe, the rhythms of the planets, and the unseen forces reminded me that I am never alone in my journey.
Now, as I step into 2026, I carry with me the learnings and the wisdom of the past year. I know that the trials were not punishments but teachings. They reminded me that balance is not about perfection—it is about grace, about listening to the rhythms of life and trusting that even the hardest seasons have meaning. 2026 feels like a new chapter, one where I can breathe more freely, act with greater clarity, and embrace the dance between patience and boldness. I walk into this year with gratitude for the unseen force that carried me, for the lessons that shaped me, and for the faith that never abandons me. This year, I choose to live with openness, to nurture both my family and my clients with equal love, and to trust that the universe will continue to guide me. The journey is far from over, but I step forward with hope, strength, and a heart ready for what lies ahead.
I share my journey with you not to set myself apart, but to remind you that I am no exception to the vagaries of life. Just like you, I have faced challenges, disappointments, and moments of heaviness. What has carried me through is not immunity to struggle, but the willingness to listen, to learn, and to trust in the guidance of the universe.
When we begin to harness the energies of the planets, we discover that life’s turbulence can be processed with greater clarity. The celestial rhythms teach us patience when we must wait, courage when we must act, and wisdom when we must discern. Through this alignment, we emerge not only stronger, but more confident, more centered, and ultimately happier.
My hope in sharing this reflection is that you, too, find comfort in knowing that the struggles you face are part of a larger design. With faith, awareness, and openness to cosmic guidance, we can all transform our trials into lessons and our lessons into light.
