Getting a lay of the land…

Astrology’s rhythms usually ebb and flow throughout the year…

So I nearly gasped when this week’s podcast guest said:

“Each month of 2025 has a major event—new eclipses, outer planets changing signs— every month is fraught with new, exciting, unnerving, sometimes difficult and challenging events astrologically.”

I mean, I knew 2025 was a big one but really?! No cosmic in-breath this year? No lull in the action?

Wanting clarity, I asked Cassandra Joan Butler—our upcoming Inner Circle Astrologer with nearly 40 years of experience—to break it all down for us in this week's episode of the Astrology Hub Podcast. She graciously agreed.

While 2025 may feel overwhelming, Cassandra’s perspective on this transformative year was deeply reassuring.

Yes, there will be challenges—but also immense potential for growth and authentic expression.

She offered an eagle’s eye view that provides purpose and direction for how to navigate the energies ahead.

And here’s where astrology becomes truly empowering—you can step back and witness.

Take a deep breath and notice…

That perhaps everything unfolding is part of a larger pattern of evolution and growth—one that you are a part of.

As Cassandra emphasized: “This is a great year for soul evolution… It might be challenging, but focus on your development. You're going to be okay.”

The Most Important Soul Task of 2025?

Maintaining authentic human connection while navigating rapid technological shifts.

Cassandra wisely shared: “There will be fast changes, but stay anchored in your individuality. Know your astrology, practice it, and celebrate your authenticity.”

This year isn’t about perfect navigation—it’s about fully engaging with these transformative energies.
