2025 was not a year for the faint of heart.
And, frankly speaking, we are not done yet.
If you follow Astrology, you know what I am talking about.
(And, if you don’t, this might feel a little woo woo for you, but let me reassure you. Astrology is not spiritual woo, nor is it a science. It’s simply pattern synthesis - based on people’s experiences. Read on and decide for yourself if any of it resonates.)
2025 did not beat around the bush.
2025 is taking names and literally handing you massive opportunities for change.
The question is how will you heed the call?
With four of the slow-moving planets changing signs (Pluto went into Aquarius, Neptune & Saturn went into Aries, and Uranus begins a long transit through Gemini, not to mention the Nodes shifting into Pisces and Virgo) this is a universal relationship-reset.
The changes were felt not just on the massive geo-political stage and world platforms, it has also impacted us in our most intimate relationships.
Couples renegotiated their agreements.
Singles rewriting their desires.
I personally saw more breakups in the last year than I have in a long time. And, I do couples sex therapy for a living.
It has been intense.
Our entire collective is doing a complete overhaul and rethinking how we love, partner, communicate, and connect.
2025 was the year we got cracked open,
and
2026 is going to be the year where a completely new world will seep in through the cracks.
Are you ready?
By April of 2026 you have the opportunity to become completely unrecognizable.
What parts of yourself will you bring with you?
Read on….
Below I talk about the major astrological transits that happened this year, and what that means for your body, your relationships, and the most intimate parts of your self.
I also will dive into the retrogrades. Yes. It’s retrograde season. We currently have 5 major planets in retrograde!
This is where you have one more chance to take a long, hard look at that which no longer suits you, that which you don’t want to take with you, and that which won’t even stand a chance to make it with you into the new world.
The Relationship Revolution (2024–2043)
Vogue magazine literally wrote about this massive relations shift in this article: Is Having a Boyfriend Embarrassing Now? and it has been trending all over Tiktok.
On November 19, 2024, ♒ Pluto left Capricorn for good and moved into Aquarius: for a 20-year stay — and this is where the biggest relational shift begins.
Pluto in Aquarius pulls us toward:
Decolonized relationships
Nontraditional partnership structures
Community-oriented intimacy
Autonomy inside connection
Authenticity over performance
Think good bye to the “good girl/good partner/good spouse” era.
No more losing yourself in relationships. Good bye.
This is the beginning of relationships built on truth, not outdated rules and obligation.
This is Pluto in Aquarius.
Pluto is the tiniest planet the furthest away from us.
Pluto transforms us.
And in Aquarius,
Aquarius is the uncovnentional and undeniable truth in all of us.
Let’s just say, I am here for it.
Pluto demands that we stop pretending and start relating from our truth. And, if you can’t it’s time to say buh-bye.
Softening (2025–2026)
The Nodes moved into Pisces/Virgo on January 11, calling us to release perfectionism and emotional labor-as-love. This means no more fixer upper relationships. You know what I’m talking about. People with “potential” are out.
What’s outdated:
Over-functioning or overcompensating
Fixing your partner
Being the responsible one
Policing your emotions
Staying small so as to not “rock the boat”
What’s is in:
This nodal cycle teaches us that connection does not have to be a task.
It is about leaning into what makes sense and what feels right.
If it’s performative, it’s days are numbered.
It’s gotta be intuitive. It’s gotta make sense.
Welcome Back The Erotic Identity (2025–2039)
On March 30, Neptune entered Aries ♈️ and started a brand-new 164-year spiritual cycle through the zodiac. Neptune will be in Aries for about 14 years. Aries is courage, power and in this sign your erotic energy and identity won’t play games, hide, nor mess around.
From April to October we got a taste of this new world Neptune in Aries. We went to those places we had been afraid to venture into for the last 14 years. This is your eroticism on punk rock energy. Let’s go! Right?
well … wait!
Because last month, Neptune went retrograde back into Pisces ♓️ where it’s been since 2011-2012. Yikes!
But, it’s actually good.
We are getting one last chance, the final countdown to really truly figure out what part of our erotic identity is ready to die, and which part of our sexuality we want to embrace and take with us into the future.
Neptune wants dreams, Aries wants to lead with courage and power.
This is your mighty erotic identity transformation:
Sexual identities shift to what is more authentic
Desire becomes more instinctual, courageous rooted in self
Your erotic truth becomes undeniable,
Partnerships evolve to support the deeper & symbolic, narrative of who we are, our life, identity, and purpose.
The body becomes our guide once again
We stop hiding from the truth
This is the beginning of choosing partners not for comfort, but for awakening, for honesty, truth.
Aries doesn’t care for stability, it screams for aliveness.
What you leave behind now will transform your sexual and erotic identity.
This is erotic power.
How will you embrace it?
Boundaries, Courage & Leadership in Relationships (2025–2028)
On May 24, Saturn 🪐 entered Aries and asked us the hardest relationship questions of all time:
“Who are you in partnership when you stop abandoning yourself?”
Saturn represents the long game, hard work, commitment. Of your biggest and baddest self. Saturn asks you to get serious and get down to brass tacks.
Aries bounds and leaps, charges ahead. Aries wants truth, tantrums like a two year old. Saturn pulls it back and say “Hold your horses, Homie.”
This transit reshapes:
Saturn in Aries matures us. It pulls us out of the fantasy of being rescued and into the reality of choosing ourselves first — so we can choose others from a place of clarity.
But first, Saturn is retrograding back to Pisces for it’s final stint.
These next few months will give you one last glimpse at the outdated relationship patterns that need to be purged.
Take notes. Journal. Write down your dreams. Notice where you see your darkest patterns, and use these next few months to purge the stuff that held you back from
erotic truth. To make sure when Saturn goes back to Aries in April of 2026, you are ready for the challenge.
Coming Home to Emotional Intimacy (June 2025–2026)
Jupiter in Cancer ♋️ brings a year of emotional expansion, reconnection, softness, and healing ancestral patterns.
Jupiter rules expansion, culture, learning, travel. Cancer nurtures, heals, connects.
Themes:
Rebuilding what “home” means (literal or emotional)
Deeper commitments to people of all kinds (family, friends, coworkers, lovers)
Conversations about family, roots, belonging
Re-parenting while in partnership (this is a big opportunity for healing!) ❤️🩹
The need for safety and care
Love becomes less about intensity and more about nourishment.
This is a time when many people redefine what “home” in a relationship truly means.
Jupiter is currently retrograde in Cancer.
What does home & love look like to you?
Communication Breakthroughs (2025–2033)
And, last but not least, my favorite planet Uranus, the planet of innovation and technology entered the Mercury ruled sign of Gemini twins ♊️ on July 7, and this is going to massively change communication and tech.
Gemini is multi faceted, quick witted, sharp tongued and swift. Uranus is innovative, ahead of its time, future forward.
What this brings in our relationships:
Radical honesty
New relationship languages
Words that liberate
Digital intimacy, long-distance love, online communities
Breakthroughs in understanding
Neurodiversity-informed connection
Uranus doesn’t hide in silence or ambiguity.
It upgrades.
Gemini wants what it wants. And, isn’t afraid to ride.
For some, this is the moment clarity finally arrives.
For others, it’s the moment truth breaks the relationship open.
And for others, it’s all of the above.
And, Uranus is also currently retrograde in it’s old sign of Taurus. Finishing up the lessons of love, leaving the last vestiges of comfort.
Uranus goes back into Gemini in 2026 and this will shatter your current life and the world as we know it.
And lastly, Mercury is also retrograde. This happens 3 times a year so it’s old news by now. Double check your holiday travel plans this year. Review your life purpose.
2026 is the year we stop faking intimacy, stop performing to earn love, stop short changing ourselves and start owning & living authentic love and relationships.
We are entering a cycle of:
1. Identity in Sex (Aries transits)
Relationships built on who you are , not who you were pretending to be.
Eroticism that refuses to stay silent. Sexual badass energy.
2. Softer connections that feel like silky sheets (Pisces North Node)
Less control. More flow. More trust. Love that feels like rest.
3. Emotional fulfillment and connection (Jupiter in Cancer)
Relationships that feeds you, and nurture you. Love that feels like home. Healing that inner child.
4. Relationships become revolutions (Uranus in Gemini)
With new ways of speaking, listening, repairing we heal, and that is the revolution.
5. Relationships become liberation (Pluto in Aquarius)
No more shrinking. No more conceding. No more false pretense. No more codependency. No more good girls. No more concessions.
Transformative and authentic connections will thrive!
