The cosmos is shifting, and with it, the collective consciousness. 2025 features a powerful planetary alignment of Neptune, Uranus, and Pluto at critical degrees, shaking the foundations of our society.

But how will this transit apply to you?

I’ll help break it down!

Critical Degree Dates in 2025 to Watch For

March 29: Neptune shifts from 29 degrees of Pisces into 0 degrees of Aries. 

July 6 – 7: Uranus shifts from Taurus into Gemini, applying conjunction to Venus. 

August 20: Pluto Retrograde at 1 degree, Uranus at 1 degree, and Neptune Retrograde at 1 degree. 

Uranus, Neptune & Pluto at 1 Degree for 2025 Year 

Uranus Gemini: communication shakeups, blockages, and new opportunities for international trade, business, and commerce.

Pluto Aquarius: breaking apart the old social order, the archaic cultural mores and ideologies. Transformation of social connections, friends, and organizations. 

Neptune Aries: will dissolve the ego identity in favor of a deeper connection with the non-material world. Confused action. Spiritual conquest. 

The Critical Degree Planetary Aspects Explained

Pluto/Uranus Trine: effortlessly purging the old in the way of the new, a total reformation. 

Pluto/Neptune Sextile: new gateways of spiritual, psychological healing and creative artistry

Uranus/Neptune Sextile: opportunities and opening of higher dimensions within the mind 

Phew!

This spells MASSIVE upheaval and structural change to society and the social order…

It also applies to your own life. But this largely depends on the specific makeup of your chart!

Critical Degrees: Defining the Basics

In the odd-numbered zodiac signs, such as the fire and air signs, a critical degree in the early stages, 0 or 1 degree, shows a dramatic starting point, initiating a new realm of activity. When it’s 29 degrees, the karma is old and dying.

When the 29th degree occurs in a water or earth sign, it’s the opposite. The planet’s energies are like a newborn baby, it’s the very start of a particular karma.

1 degree: a fresh, new understanding and expression of the energies represented by that zodiac sign. 

29 degrees: the final push, an ending or culmination of old, aged energies preparing to be reborn in the next sign.

What it Means for Each Zodiac Sign

Gemini: eliminate old beliefs, adopt a new rebellious, 100% unique identity

Libra: start crafting your magnum opus; your lover/muse could be your spiritual awakening

Aquarius: reignite your passions and start creating new works of art 

Taurus: the breakthrough in your career and personal finances can occur from foreign lands and peoples

Virgo: amazing support through other people and finding that enemies transform into friends suddenly

Capricorn: your day job, home life, and finances get a level-up moment

Aries: start exploring your hobbies; get new friends; physically embrace the spiritual

Leo: amazing changes to your desires and to your partnerships (friends and marriage alike)

Sagittarius: new love, sex, connection, and creative awakening (potential childbirth)

Cancer: a spiritual wakeup call as a result of changes in your career or vocation 

Scorpio: changes in your home, health and psyche spurs you to turn inwards towards God

Pisces: your finances, home, family, and sense of security shifts for the positive

Saturn/Neptune 0-1 Degree: Collective Social Change 

Saturn/Neptune: Breaking the Boundaries of Human Ego

Saturn represents “us” – the masses, the plebs, those who work and labor for a living to survive and pay taxes. 

Guess what? 

Saturn is DEBILITATED!

He (AKA the masses of people) feels weak and lethargic, as if he has to carry the whole world on his shoulders as a lone-wolf individual (Aries).

Pluto Aquarius 1 Degree: Beginning of a Humanitarian Revolution

Pluto Aquarius: the final frontier of conscious, collective thought

Will there be a world-wide revolt against an elite billionaire ruling class whose primary desire is to enslave all of humanity using AI while coercing people into getting cybernetic chip implants?…

No, not really.

But will there be a dramatic shift in behaviors and values as a result of new ways of THINKING?

Absolutely! 

Uranus Gemini 1 Degree: Promethean Thinking

Uranus Gemini: Eccentric, Genius Ideas

Uranus at the first degree ushers in genuinely shocking and surprising changes, revolutionary ideas and speech. I’ll remind you that Gemini rules over students, business people, trading partnerships, games, and communications. 

Planetary Rulerships: Interpreting the Critical Degrees of 2025

Look for any planets and houses in Gemini, Aquarius, or Aries. 

Identify planets that are in the very last degrees of Pisces, Capricorn, and Taurus. 

Uranus governs Aquarius. Look for the sign cusp in your chart where Aquarius sits.

Neptune governs Pisces. Find the house cusp with Pisces on it. 

Pluto governs Scorpio. Look for the Scorpio house cusp or planets in Scorpio. 

Uranus violently shakes up and awakens the genius in a certain area of life. For the fixed signs: Scorpio, Aquarius, Taurus, and Leo, this planetary alignment is even more potent!

The Basic Interpretations and Takeaways: Recap

These planets can be said to represent Shiva, Brahma and Vishnu, the gods who create, sustain, and destroy the world, creating an endless cycle.

Honestly, it would take far too long to intricately explain the effects of these outer planets moving into critical degrees for all 12 zodiac signs. 

Because the two outer planets aspect Neptune/Saturn in Aries, it serves as a focal point for all of the energies.

We MUST establish a deeper individual connection to the spiritual realm (the higher self) and not rely strictly on material institutions and concrete structures to give us security and protection. 

The elders, authority figures, and leaders (Saturn) are weak right now.

Eh, Sorry.

Saturn, which represents our collective foundation, is being dissolved by Neptune.

Meaning?

We have to tap into higher-order thinking (Uranus Gemini) and powerful social connections (Pluto Aquarius) if we wish to see any real change in the world.
