Stan Grof, Richard Tarnas, and Renn Butler pioneered an elixir formulated from depth psychology, the holotropic principle, and psychedelics: transpersonal astrology. It’s now possible for astrologers like me to forecast more intuitively and resonantly by tapping into a somatic journey through star medicine.
Transpersonal astrology concerns the collective. It’s how Saturn and Jupiter transits tell a Big Sky Story, form a Dimensional Design, and connect us to themes set by the outer planets: Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. The slower a planet moves around the sun or through a zodiac sign, the deeper the impact and the higher the potential for long-term soul growth. Transpersonal astrology doesn’t waste time with the TikTok lunar horoscopic analog to Cosmo’s sun sign predictions.
Holy Shift: All Planets Change Sign
During 2025, all transpersonal and outer planets will shift to a new zodiac sign. From an alchemical perspective, the collective is working with a new batch of elemental ingredients: fresh energetic expressions, opportunities for mastery, and quantum healing offers. We recognize hints of what’s in the mix; karma’s signature scent sticks around.
From February 19th, Pisces season tees up the frequency of Mutable Water as the 12th House of Spirit lights up with personal planetary retrogrades across the Aries cusp until the closing eclipse event in Cardinal Fire on March 29th. “Desolate Pisces/Aries bordertown prays for rain during a wildfire and gets floods and mudslides” is the vibe.
This timing aligns with Jupiter picking up speed in Gemini after a long-ass station direct. The greater benefic’s waiting to catch Mars Cancer’s draft as the lesser malefic stations, too, at the start of Pisces season.
Saturn/Neptune Pisces will still be tangoing together in their final, most potent moments before marching into Cardinal Fire, like war buddies from back when. Also featuring Sun/North Node/Mercury action, Pisces season is sort of the long exhale before the leap of faith into our future trip.
What About Those Upcoming Eclipses, Though?
Facts: post-Equinox will feel like a dimensional catapult. Eclipse season is transpersonal astrology’s portal between timelines, where Jupiter and Saturn giveth and taketh away. Spring 2025 echoes an earlier initiation when Jupiter ingressed Aries in May 2022 and remained like a cracked-out Santa Claus for about a year.
Think back to some mundane collective headlines: Russian invasion of Ukraine; FTX collapse; ChatGPT released by OpenAI; Musk acquired Twitter. What might have been seeded then, that now bursts into bloom? As the Age of Air throttles its thrusters, keep an eagle eye on past patterns, sneaking on-board for another Samsara spin.
Exploring the Outer Planetary Limits
At a collective level, Pisces season is a time to re-member before a collective rebirth of the zodiacal wheel – and the official start to the astrological new year on March 20th. Let’s look at which outer planetary themes pitch energetic curveballs at the collective, and how to discern what’s a swing.
Pluto’s firmly ensconced in Aquarius for the next twenty years, feet up on the coffee table and elbows deep in Dorito dust. The planet of transformation is serving an AI-enabled overload of distraction from the generational main event: Pluto Leo, please take a seat.
Neptune amping up to ingress Aries (March 30th until 2039) is being delineated anywhere along the pop astro spectrum from militarized apocalypse to true fairytale. From a transpersonal POV, Neptune’s role is simply to aspect Jupiter Cancer and Saturn Aries come Summer 2025 and accelerate Cardinal energy.
Uranus Taurus has been wrapping up a catastrophic cycle of climate change ever since 2018. The outer planet of innovation – a.k.a. the higher octave of Mercury equated with angelic transmission – kicks down the door in Gemini on July 7th. Reflect on material manifestations from Jupiter’s current transit of Mutable Air for a sneak peek, maybe even a red-band trailer, of what this electric aspect is all about.
Welcome to Mutable Water’s Warm Womb
To embody the Pisces archetype, and to integrate 12th house topics as we close out a long Yin spell – rulership by the feminine energetic principle – imagine a door. Here is the gateway betwixt what has been and will never again. Here is the void. The cosmic womb. The crossroads where chaos and magick become.
Do not hurry. Do not dally. Do not do. Just be.
See you on the other side, in Aries season.
