🌘 2025: A Year of Endings. What a 9 Year Cycle Really Means for Your Midlife Awakening

As we step into 2025, we’re walking into a powerful threshold year, one that astrologers, numerologists, and intuitives all describe as a “9 Universal Year.”
In numerology, the number 9 represents completion, release, and sacred endings, and when paired with the major astrological movements unfolding this year, it becomes clear:

✨ 2025 is a year of clearing the past to make room for who you’re becoming.

For women in midlife, a season already asking for truth, recalibration, and reclamation, this energy is deeply aligned. It softens us. It awakens us. It invites us to set down what’s heavy so we can enter the next chapter unburdened.

Let’s explore what this means for you.

🔮 Why 2025 Is Considered a “Year of Endings”

In numerology, life unfolds in 9-year cycles, each number bringing a different energetic lesson. The 9 year is the final chapter, the closing page before a brand-new cycle begins.

A 9 year invites:

• completion

• letting go

• emotional and spiritual healing

• releasing outdated identities

• forgiveness

• recalibration

• preparing for new beginnings

It’s not an ending in the sense of loss.
It’s an ending in the sense of liberation.

A clearing of the path.
A deep exhale.
A conscious completion.

And this matches the astrological currents of 2025 in a strikingly beautiful way.

✨ Astrology of 2025: Why This Energy Is So Potent

1. Pluto in Aquarius: Rebirth and Liberation

Pluto, the planet of transformation, has fully entered Aquarius for the long haul.
Pluto exposes what’s outdated, stagnant, or false so we can step into truth.

In midlife, this feels like:

• shedding old roles

• releasing the need to perform

• letting go of who we were told to be

• awakening the woman we’re becoming

Pluto in Aquarius asks us to evolve, not through force, but through honesty.

2. Saturn in Pisces: Dissolving Old Structures

Saturn, the planet of boundaries, responsibility, and mastery, continues its journey through Pisces, the sign of endings, intuition, and spiritual surrender.

This energy supports:

• allowing what’s crumbling to crumble

• releasing emotional burdens

• healing old wounds

• trusting your inner voice more than external noise

Saturn in Pisces doesn’t push.
It softens you into truth.

3. The Nodal Axis in Aries–Libra: Identity Renewal

With the North Node in Aries and the South Node in Libra, we are collectively being called to:

• reclaim our identity

• release people-pleasing

• step into sovereignty

• honor our needs without apology

Midlife women feel this fiercely, the desire to stop abandoning themselves for harmony, approval, or ease.

🌑 So What Does a 9 Year Actually Mean for You?

A 9 year doesn’t demand endings.
It reveals what is already complete.

This year, you may feel:

• a pull toward simplicity

• a desire to clean up loose ends

• the soft fading of relationships that have run their course

• clarity around what no longer fits

• the urge to declutter — physically, emotionally, spiritually

• a shift in identity or purpose

• a natural closing of old chapters

It’s the year where you finally say:

“I can’t carry this version of me into the next season of my life.”

2025 asks you to release:

• old stories

• limiting beliefs

• guilt and shame you’ve held for too long

• projects, roles, or commitments that drain you

• emotional patterns that keep you small

This is not about losing.
It’s about lightening.

You’re clearing the path for something new, even if you don’t yet know what that “new” is.

🌅 2026 Will Be a 1 Year, A Beginning.

2025 Is the Sacred Preparation for That Beginning.

If 2026 is the sunrise, then 2025 is the gentle darkness before dawn, the space of reflection, honesty, and release.

A 9 year asks you:

• What am I ready to leave behind?

• What identity no longer fits?

• What story am I done telling?

• What cycle is complete?

• What needs closure so I can step into 2026 with clarity?

This work is not heavy, it is freeing.

The year of endings is the year that real beginnings finally become possible.

✨ A Midlife Reflection for 2025

If you’re feeling the pull toward shedding layers… good.
If you’re exhausted from pretending… good.
If you’re ready to simplify, soften, or start again… good.

Endings are not failures.
Endings are initiations.

2025 is the year you return to yourself, without the weight of who you no longer are.

✨ Journal Prompts for Your 2025 Year of Endings

1. What parts of my identity no longer feel true for the woman I’m becoming?
   Where have I outgrown old roles, expectations, or versions of myself?

2. What am I carrying that feels complete—and why have I continued to hold on?
   Let yourself name what is done, even if you’re not ready to release it yet.

3. What emotional patterns or stories am I ready to leave behind in 2025?
   Notice where you’re repeating something that’s asking to be closed.

4. What do I want to walk into 2026 WITHOUT?
   Think of this as energetic decluttering. What cannot come with you into your next cycle?

5. What am I making space for?
   If 2026 is a new beginning, what do you desire more of—ease, purpose, creativity, connection, rest, truth?

I’m stepping into 2026 with curiosity and allowing myself to be in the mystery of all that is going to unfold.

XOXO-
