Summer 2025: Staying Grounded Through the Shifts

Hello again Dear Soul!

Here we are—halfway through 2025, and what a journey it has already been.

Back in January, I wrote about the powerful transformations this year would bring. And now, as we stand at the doorway of the summer solstice, it’s clear that the universe wasn’t kidding. This year has been intense—for many of us, both personally and collectively. If you’ve felt like you’re being pushed, pulled, cracked open, or turned inside out... you’re not alone.

These changes aren’t just astrological—they’re deeply human.

We’ve seen instability on the world stage, shifts in relationships, and unexpected turns in careers, health, and inner life. For many, it’s been a season of grief and reckoning, of letting go of what no longer fits—even when we didn’t feel quite ready. And yet, even through the mess, there’s a deeper current at work. Something is being rewired in us and around us. Something new is trying to be born, but it isn't quite here yet.

A Mid-Year Check-In

If you’re feeling exhausted, uncertain, or stretched thin—pause. Breathe. This isn’t a sign of failure. It’s a sign of growth. Think of a plant in early summer: leaves are sprouting, roots are deepening, and there’s unseen work happening below the surface. You, too, are transforming in ways that may not yet be visible—but that doesn’t mean it’s not real.

The cosmic energies of 2025 are still urging us forward, but we’re no longer at the starting gate. We’re in the messy middle—where doubt creeps in, old habits resurface, and progress feels slower than we hoped. But this is exactly where the real magic happens.

This is the part of the journey where inner strength is forged.

Where the Light Still Lives

Despite the heaviness, I want to remind you of this: hope is not gone. It’s just quieter now—more of a whisper than a roar. But it’s still here.

There are also bright spots: meaningful connections, creative breakthroughs, moments of laughter or clarity that arrive when you least expect them. These small, sacred moments are the breadcrumbs that keep us moving forward. Look for them. Celebrate them. They’re signs you’re on the right path.

The astrology of the second half of the year continues to support innovation, clarity, and spiritual deepening. Saturn and Neptune just into Aries says: Be brave enough to dream—and then build it. Uranus in Gemini will spark new ways of thinking, speaking, and connecting. Pluto’s slow dance through Aquarius calls us to remember our shared humanity and collective power. Find your community, your tribe.

Mid-Year Reflections

Ask yourself:

• What have I released this year—and what space has that created?

• Where have I surprised myself?

• What new longing or idea is quietly taking root?

You don’t need to have everything figured out. In fact, one of the most compassionate things you can do right now is to stop demanding certainty and trust the process. Keep going. Keep showing up—for yourself, for your community.

Let the Summer Hold You

Let this season offer you some softness. Go barefoot. Watch a sunset. Reconnect with what feels sacred and true. It’s okay to rest. It’s okay to not have all the answers. The second half of this transformational year is still unfolding. You are allowed to be a work in progress.

And if you’re ready to dig deeper, recommit to your growth, or get personalized support through these big energies, I’d love to walk with you. My summer sessions are open now—come as you are for an insight reading, coaching, or an in-depth astrological consultation.

You are not behind. You are becoming.

With love and deep respect for your journey,

~Annie
