Cosmic beings, as we enter 2025, we step into the energy of the number nine in numerology, because 2+0+2+5 adds up to nine. Representing the end of a cycle, the number nine invites us to reflect on and bring closure to the projects, dreams, relationships and ambitions we’ve cultivated over the past nine years. It’s a period of completion but also one of profound spiritual alignment and collective ascension. In 2025, we’ll be drawn to asking not just what we can receive from others but rather what we can give. Ironically, this shift toward service will create an abundance of its own as the more we give, the more we’ll receive.
The significance of 2025’s numerology doesn’t exist in a vacuum — it aligns with several major astrological transits that emphasise collective growth and reimagination. Chief among them is Pluto in Aquarius, which will influence our world for the next two decades. Aquarius, the sign of the collective, innovation and rebellion against oppressive systems, pairs powerfully with the number nine’s energy of spiritual ascension and humanitarianism. Together, they inspire us to dream big about what we can create for the greater good while dismantling outdated systems that no longer serve humanity.
In 2025, we’ll see an intensification of efforts to resist hyper-capitalism and the systems of exploitation it perpetuates. Boycotts against companies that prioritise profits over people and the planet will continue to grow, with local and national movements gaining traction. We’ve already seen this energy building over the past few years, from pushes to hold corporations accountable for environmental destruction to viral calls for ethical consumption. In 2025, these efforts will expand, with more people prioritising community-based endeavours that centre equity and sustainability over greed.
This reimagining of priorities aligns with Aquarius’ visionary nature. People will dream of utopias rather than dystopias, imagining worlds where cooperation and care are at the forefront. While dystopian narratives will remain present — Pluto’s influence always brings an element of shadow work — the collective energy will increasingly lean toward creating the future we want to see. As Octavia Butler famously wrote: “All that you touch you change. All that you change changes you.” In 2025, we’ll be brave enough to speak our ideals into existence, even if they feel nebulous at first. The act of voicing our dreams — opening our throat chakras — is the first step toward manifesting them.
As we reimagine a better future, we’ll also draw deeply from the wisdom of our ancestors. There’s a growing awareness that the systems we’re challenging — capitalism, colonialism and patriarchy — are relatively recent constructs in human history. Prior to their dominance, many societies were organised around principles of matriarchy, reciprocity and communal care. Children and elders were revered, and decision-making was often collective and inclusive.
This ancestral wisdom will guide us in 2025 as we seek to reclaim balance during this year of nine. With the Pisces-Virgo nodal axis influencing the year, we’re encouraged to find harmony between dreaming of a better world and taking tangible steps to create it. Pisces energy urges us to connect with our intuition and higher purpose, while Virgo reminds us to ground those visions in practical, day-to-day actions. Together they inspire us to build systems that honour the interconnectedness of all life while ensuring that our dreams are rooted in reality.
While the astronumerology of 2025 is ripe with possibility, it also comes with challenges. As a year of completion, many of us will feel an inner push to tie up loose ends and finalise projects from the past nine years. This sense of urgency, while motivating, can also be overwhelming — especially as Jupiter’s continued stay in Gemini during the first half of the year amplifies our desire to do it all. Gemini’s influence will make us eager to multitask and explore a variety of interests at once, but it’s essential to pace ourselves. Completion doesn’t mean rushing or forcing things to happen. It’s about surrendering to divine timing and trusting that everything will unfold as it’s meant to. This requires patience — a quality that may be tested as Neptune and Saturn both enter Aries in 2025, emphasising speed, ambition and a desire to be first. The key will be redefining what success looks like. In a world that often equates success with independence and self-sufficiency, 2025 challenges us to embrace the power of interdependence. Rather than hoarding resources or striving to “win” alone, we’ll find strength in vulnerability, collaboration and collective economics.
One of the most transformative aspects of 2025’s numerology is its emphasis on giving. The number nine is deeply tied to humanitarianism, reminding us that true fulfilment comes from contributing to something larger than ourselves. This shift toward generosity will be mirrored in the collective, as more people recognise the limitations of individualism and turn toward models of shared abundance.
We’re already seeing the seeds of this shift in movements like mutual aid networks, community land trusts and cooperative business models. In 2025, these ideas will continue to gain traction, inspiring more people to pool their resources and work together for the common good. The principle is simple: When we support one another, we all rise.
At its core, 2025 is a year of spiritual ascension. The energy of the number nine calls us to connect with our higher selves and align our actions with our values. This doesn’t mean retreating from the world — in fact, it’s quite the opposite. Spiritual alignment in 2025 will involve engaging with the world in meaningful ways, using our gifts and resources to create positive change.
For some, this may look like advocating for systemic change or participating in community-based initiatives. Gen Z is especially reshaping consumerism in this Age of Aquarius — so this is a year (for all generations) to lean into their influence. Air signs in particular may feel called to use their voice to hold companies accountable and demand better for ourselves and future generations. Whether you’re speaking out on TikTok or joining local grassroots movements, many of your efforts will pay off.
For others, the energy of 2025 may impel certain beings to focus on deep personal healing, allowing them to show up more fully for themselves and others. Whatever form it takes, the goal is the same: to live in greater harmony with the Earth, with other human beings and with our own souls.
Ultimately, 2025 is about finding a balance between dreaming and doing. The energy of the year invites us to envision a brighter future while taking practical steps to make it a reality. It’s a time to honour our past while releasing what no longer serves us, to give generously while trusting that we’ll be supported in return.
As we navigate this powerful year of completion, let’s remember that we’re not starting from scratch. We’re building on the wisdom of those who came before us, guided by their resilience and ingenuity. Together, we have the power to dream a new world into existence — one where care, connection and community are at the heart of everything we do. And as we move forward, let’s embrace the spiritual truth of 2025: The more we align with our purpose and give to others, the more we’ll find ourselves receiving in return. After all, the end of one cycle is always the beginning of another.
The last time we experienced a nine year in numerology was 2016 (2+0+1+6 = 9), a year that holds a special place in many of our hearts. For millennials especially, 2016 felt like a golden era, filled with carefree energy, cultural touchstones and a collective belief that life was unfolding in our favour. Drake’s “Summer Sixteen” became an anthem for a season that seemed endless in its possibilities. People were out, connecting and living unapologetically in the moment. It wasn’t just about the music — it was about the memories we created, the sense of community we felt and the optimism that permeated the air. In many ways, 2025 carries the potential to evoke a similar energy — a feeling of coming full circle and reconnecting with a version of ourselves we may have thought was lost to time.
2025 offers us an opportunity to reclaim the simplicity and joy of the days before the pandemic changed the way we interact with the world and each other. It’s a year of completion, a chance to shed outdated habits and beliefs that no longer serve us and embrace a lighter, freer version of life. This might look like spending more time in nature, rediscovering the joy of physical books or prioritising face-to-face conversations over endless scrolling. The universe is gently nudging us to move away from the noise of technology and reconnect with what truly nurtures our souls. Yes, Pluto in Aquarius and the rapid rise of AI and automation will still be shaping our collective landscape, but 2025 invites us to ask deeper questions: What does my soul truly crave? How can I create a life that feels more aligned with my inner truth and less dictated by external pressures?
This paradox of living in an increasingly digital world while yearning for analog simplicity will define much of the year. Despite the endless ads, notifications and the constant pull of instant gratification, 2025 asks us to pause and reimagine what fulfilment really looks like. The nostalgia for childhood joys — riding bikes, playing outside and getting lost in creative expression — reminds us that these simple pleasures are still accessible. It’s about choosing to tune out the chaos and tune into life’s simple pleasures, and not take them for granted.
As we move through this nine year of completion and spiritual ascension, the universe is giving us permission to prioritise presence over productivity, connection over consumption, and meaning over materialism. The more we embrace these shifts, the closer we’ll feel to the freedom and possibility that 2025 has in store, and the more aligned we’ll be with our truest, happiest and most fulfilled selves.
