2025, Our Hermit Year
2025, our Hermit Year, has real opportunities for being more intentional with our journeys. And being intentional feels more important that ever. Some will loathe this energy while others will crave it. Some will feel like they are being held back, stifled, controlled while others will feel more connected and spiritual with it.
This coming year, 2025 in the Gregorian Calendar, condenses to 9 (2+0+2+5). We are moving from a collective Strength year into a Hermit year. 2024 was an opportunity to strengthen our relationship with all the parts of ourselves. We were invited to process some big things around how we view, relate and tend to ourselves. We were asked to be brave and show up in our lives more like ourselves and in alignment with who we truly are and how we truly want to live.
The themes for this coming Hermit year are around pausing, assessing, discerning, capacity and integration. There is a real opportunity for a personal or internal journey around coming more home to ourselves; we will be walking ourselves home in some way for this year’s cycle. It’s about learning to be more intentional in our behaviours and day to day choices and actions so that we know that what we are choosing to do is in alignment with our values, our needs, our passions, our homecomings and our goals. We will be asked to learn to trust ourselves more in facing each step along our journey with intention and discernment; to pause, assess, decide then take the next best step for us in that moment of time. Structure, support, nourishment, grounding practices, tending seeds, divine timing, forgiveness and patience are all tools we can rely on as we journey on this path home over this next year. And the bigger theme around all of this is trust. Self trust around our paths, our skill sets and abilities, our navigation systems, our timing, our choices and our support systems. There is real treasure to be found in this year to come if we stay with ourselves along the way.
Some Self Coaching considerations for the 2025 year could be:
How do I give myself time and space to assess what is here for me now?
How do I allow myself to connect with my intuition and inner knowing before moving forward?
How can I support myself in impatience during these times?
How do I serve my nervous system that may be used to rushing and doing all the time?
How can I look around to see how I can relax into this a bit more?
Are there ways that I am distracting myself from slowing down and assessing my situation?
How do I connect more with trusting what's for me right now and right here without needing to see a 'bigger picture'?
