assess decisions about the new direction
we want to take. It is a year to allow the
vision of the future to take form and lay
anchor in consciousness, but temper
the impulse to recklessly forge ahead
until the timing is right. There will be a
serious need this year for “Sacred Space”, teetering on the edge between fear and
a safe place of reflection and for healing
and forgiveness of past wounds, as well
as what Joseph Campbell calls “creative
incubation”, a place to allow your vision
for the future to unfold, naturally and
without force.
If we’ve learned our Saturn/Neptune in
Pisces lessons well, we have developed
a closer relationship with “Higher Self”,
learned to trust our intuition and rely
more heavily on “spidey sense”, become
more accepting and tolerant of others’
differences, and to “walk our talk”, or
practically apply spiritual principles
to everyday life and reality. This year,
we will no doubt find ourselves often
teetering on the brink between graceful
surrender to that over which I have
no control and active self-assertion/
defiance/open rebellion against injustice
which simply cannot be tolerated;
between resolution/completion of past
karmic patterns and hope/optimism
about future potentials. The death and
birth of ages is always accompanied by
tumultuous events spanning several
generations that force us to release what
has been before in order to fully embrace
what is to be. There is simply no way to
predict what these events will be, or the
intensity and trauma required to catapult
us into the next age.
Personally, as I meditate on the
astrological possibilities for 2025, I sit
excitement. It’s very similar to the feeling
I get every time I am about to perform/
speak/ present before an audience. It is
not comfortable, but it has never stopped
me. I know that this place of paradoxical
feelings provides me with the creative
edge I need to do my best work.
Learning to walk the tightrope between
the two has been a major piece of work
on my life’s journey, and provided me
with one my greatest super powers. I
leave you with the wisdom of my favorite
fortune cookie ever received, and a
perfect thought to sum up 2025:
Courage is simply fear that has
said its prayers!
FYI, I will be exploring the major themes
of the coming year more deeply in my
annual in-person full day workshop,
Transits of 2025, on Saturday, January
11, 2025. Space is limited, so pre-
registration is required. If you would
like more information about this event,
please contact me via email at hiakam@
