Chaos or a Cosmic Upgrade?

Last weekend, I was catching up with a friend I hadn’t seen in forever. 

As we were chatting, he opened up about how rough 2025 has been for him so far.

Naturally, I shared some of my own struggles from the past few months—and that’s when I gently brought up astrology… to someone who doesn’t believe in astrology. 😅 

Thankfully, he didn’t roll his eyes (at least not out loud 😉) and let me explain.

I told him how astrologers have been predicting 2025 to be a wild year for quite a while now. 

We’re entering planetary alignments we haven’t seen in our lifetimes—and won’t see again for hundreds of years. 

Plus, in just the last month, we’ve had two eclipses, and both Mercury and Venus in retrograde—all at the same time.

These cosmic shifts can feel chaotic, ungrounding, even disorienting.

But here’s the thing: all that upheaval? It’s an invitation –an opportunity– to grow, to shift, to let go of what’s no longer working and move toward what’s calling you next.

Because, as we know, change is the only constant. And it’s only when we resist change that we suffer.

So what if—just what if—everything that’s happening in your life right now is actually happening for you, not to you?

That’s what astrology helps me remember.

First off, that I’m not alone in any of this. These energies are moving through all of us, whether we name them or not.

Second, it helps me reframe what I’m going through—both the struggles and the moments of joy. 

Like the deep, soul-level bliss I felt while journaling during the recent lunar eclipse. 

That kind of magic doesn’t usually happen on a random Tuesday.

And when my friend in Nicaragua told me she had nearly the same experience that same night? I knew it wasn’t just a coincidence.

Even if I can’t explain how it works—I trust that it does. And that’s enough for me.

If you’re curious about how I’ve found peace in the middle of the chaos, I’d love to have you join me for next week’s Third Thursday session.

We’ll explore how your Inner Critic, Inner Child, and Adult-self are reflected in your astrology chart—and how your sun, moon, and rising signs connect to these different parts of you.

It’s gonna be good 💜
