The Energy Of 2025

IX. The Hermit tarot card.

5 minute read

Life is a game of energy, so what better way to prepare for 2025 than by taking a look at the subtle, and not so subtle energies that will weave their way throughout the year.

As a Reiki energy healer there are a few different tools and resources I look to for helping provide a general overview of the energy of 2025.

Here I’m sharing a general overview and my perceptions of the energy from looking to numerology, tarot, and the astrology for insight on the overall essence on a collective level.

Keep in mind that your own intuition will always give you the most accurate way to personally work with the energy in any given moment, nothing will ever surpass your own inner guidance system!

So, let’s start with the numerology.

2025 is a 9 year (2 + 0 + 2 + 5 = 9) which symbolizes the cycle of endings/completion and new beginnings.

9 is also associated with selfless service, patience, compassion, love. It also relates to stepping into self-mastery, putting what you have learned into practical use which becomes your inner wisdom to share in service to the world.

The 9th major arcana card in the tarot deck is “IX. The Hermit”.

This is Virgo energy, introspective, going within oneself to seek knowledge and be alone with ones thoughts. Virgo is also a healer, a sage, the energy of being a spiritual leader, whether that is in your own life or for leading others. This will be a year of focus on seeking the answers from within, deepening the practice of listening to your inner voice, fully trusting it, and allowing this to help with discernment in the outer environment.

The Hermit is also Mercury energy, related to communication, messages, thinking, adaptability.

To add more perspective to 2025, when we zoom out and look at 2024 that was an 8 year, of doing the work to find our inner strength, courage, overcoming difficult times, testing our strength of character, and solar plexus energy (“I AM” energy and the energy of the sun), a rebirth from within. 2024 was opening us up to our emotions and compassion.

2025 is now the progression of 2024, and is preparing us for 2026 which in numerology is 10. In tarot the tenth major arcana is “X. Wheel of Fortune” which symbolizes destiny, fate, cycles of time and eternal change. The year to fully step into the new way of being.

My guides describe the energy of 9 as also being reminiscent of awakenings. Awakenings are the simultaneous energy of endings and new beginnings. The ending of who we thought we were, at the same time as stepping into the new beginning as more of who we are, our true soul selves.

Ouroboros ancient symbol.

Year Of The Snake

2025 also happens to be the year of the snake.

The ancient ouroboros symbol of a snake (sometimes a dragon) eating it’s own tail is an apt representation of the never-ending cycle of endings and new beginnings, death and rebirth, infinity. A reminder that death is not the end, it is part of the completion of one cycle preparing for the next cycle in the evolution of the soul.

Snakes are associated with Scorpio energy, the energy of transformation, rebirth, regeneration, and wisdom. The shedding of the skin representing leaving the old behind, releasing old patterns, and the self-healing powers within for renewal.

Snakes are also known to have sharp senses, heightened intuition, and are adaptable to change.

The Astrology, Planetary Shifts in 2025

2025 is a massive year of transition. The astrology forecast shows this as a big year for endings of cycles and the new beginning of cycles.

From November 2024 throughout 2025 all the outer planets are shifting into new cycles, new signs of the zodiac which, you guessed it, brings in new energy to work with. The energy of each zodiac has it’s own flavour as well as each planet bringing it’s own energy. Energy that is all communicating with our own energy fields!

The planetary cycles that are changing:

  • Pluto shifts from Capricorn into Aquarius for a new 20 year cycle

  • Neptune shifts from Pisces into Aries for a new 15 year cycle

  • Saturn shifts from Pisces into Aries for a new 2.5 year cycle

  • Uranus shifts from Taurus into Gemini for a new 8 year cycle

  • Jupiter shifts from Gemini to Cancer for a new 1 year cycle

  • The Lunar North Node shifts from Aries to Pisces, and the South Node shifts from Libra to Virgo (on 11th January - 111 energy, personal growth and a new beginning) affecting the collective consciousness and evolution.

This kind of activity all within 12 months has never happened in our lifetime before, it absolutely feels like a fated and destined point in time for our evolution (and elevation if we are talking about our personal energy field).

This is a vast amount of energy around endings and new beginnings all layering up and overlapping each other at the same time which, as you know, we will experience this activity within our own energy fields and may feel overwhelming, unstable, and a whole range of different emotions on either side of the spectrum.

We are moving into AIR (of the mind, fast energy) and FIRE (action oriented) masculine energy in 2025, and away from EARTH (slow, grounded) and WATER (emotions) feminine energy of 2024.

Time will feel faster in 2025 so it is going to be important to keep looking within yourself to find stillness and work with practices that raise your frequency and help you develop and maintain inner stability and balanced emotions. Being flexible and adaptable will also help you, as being in a state of resistance to change will only feel more uncomfortable.

In Usui Reiki energy healing we work with the 4 elements:

  • Air (breathwork, mental body),

  • Earth (grounding, physical body)

  • Water (hydration supports energy flow, emotional body)

  • Fire (light/Source energy, spiritual body)

You are the alchemist of your own life and energy, if you feel out of balance in 2025 try bringing in more elements of earth and water energy to see if that restores balance to your energy field.

You may need to ground your energy more, or look to your emotional body (the sacral chakra, creative energy centre) to ask what your soul needs from you to promote harmony. It could be as simple as drinking pure water, building a spiritual relationship through communicating with water, tapping into your creativity through a new pursuit or work on bringing closure to unhealed emotional wounds with energy healing.

Pay attention and really LISTEN to what your energy is communicating to you, it is always leading you towards self fulfillment, harmony, and to truly know yourself.

In the midst of endings and new beginnings it can feel like being in between worlds, in a place of transition. One foot in the past, wrapping up and bringing things to completion, with the other foot in the new, getting a taste of the new. Change is often a catalyst for feelings of grief on both conscious and subconscious levels. Whether it is forced change, or change we are choosing for ourselves grief can still be present in the process of letting go and transitioning to the new.

It’s going to be a BIG year of energy! So, be extra gentle with yourself. Learn to adapt by being more of an observer, and a good listener of both your inner and outer world and fully trust your inner compass. And above all else remain hopeful and optimistic for all that awaits us on the other side of breakthroughs and transformation.

One thing I know for sure, from my own self practice as a Reiki Master energy healer, is that the more you know your own energy, and how to heal, strengthen, and support it, the more comfortable the journey is.

Being guided by the energy allows for much more fluidity, serenity, and shows us the way to manage our time, energy, and resources more effectively for each of us. The more deeply you know your own energy the easier it will feel to trust your intuition.

Usui Reiki For Inner Connection

USUI REIKI is a form of energy healing that is most known for it’s ability to relieve stress, anxiety, chronic symptoms, promote better sleep, aid in post surgery recovery, support end of life transition, and help releases suppressed emotions, for example.

It promotes self-healing on physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual levels. Harmonization of the mind, body, and soul.

Reiki is a holistic alternative therapy and works complementary alongside professional medical and/or psychological advice, treatment. There are no contraindications with medications, and Reiki energy healing is safe for all ages, and stages of life.

THE POWER OF INTENTION

Reiki energy naturally flows where it is needed most, but with clear intention through our words we can channel healing anywhere in the physical body in Level 1, and anywhere in the past, present, or future in Level 2, 3, & 4.

All that energy healing requires of us is for the logical part of our mind to step aside, and for us to step into trust and believe in the unseen quantum energy that exists within the universe.

Reiki Level 1 is the foundational level and focuses on physical healing, healing of the self. We learn awareness of energy within and around the body, the laws of energetic exchange, and how to intuit and manage your own energy. Channelling Reiki to others for healing comes after developing the solid foundations through practise of your own self-healing.

The applications of Reiki are limitless. Benefits of learning Reiki Level 1 include:

  • Awareness of the mind-body connection, how thoughts manifest in the physical body

  • Increases mental clarity

  • Eases feelings of grief, low self-esteem, insecurity, codependency, gradual release of suppressed emotions that contribute to physical symptoms and illness, for example

  • Detoxification (releasing of unhelpful energy such as emotional traumas, wounds)

  • Supply of life force energy (Prana, Chi, Qi), the ability to connect with Reiki energy any time

  • Raises vibrational frequency, attracting more positive energy

  • Give Reiki to, for example, plants, medicines, medications, water, and things such as bumps and bruises, sore muscles, cramps

Reiki Level 2 introduces 3 symbols and their mantras for power amplification, harmony, and space-time. Different techniques of symbol application are learned as well as understanding distance (remote/virtual) and mental treatments to heal outdated beliefs, conditioning, and old programming. Reiki energy flow is strengthened further and intuitive abilities expand.

The increased benefits of learning Reiki Level 2 include, but are not limited to:

  • Clearing, harmonizing, and energizing energy of rooms, homes, businesses

  • Distance Reiki for natural disasters or areas at war

  • Karma clearing, healing ancestral and past life karma and healing trauma, send healing to the past

  • Mental deprogramming (of conditioning, learned limiting beliefs, unhelpful patterns, habits, cycles)

  • Channel healing to the past, present, or future, and across space and time

  • Releases trapped and/or suppressed emotions from events and experiences in this and past lifetimes

  • Aids spiritual and emotional growth, strengthens intuition, accessing higher states of consciousness

  • Learning how to offer healing in a professional setting as a Reiki Practitioner

When we commit to a daily practice of self-Reiki we open up a direct line of communication to our soul and to Source energy (something greater than us that exists in the universe). We start to experience life and wellbeing at higher levels than ever experienced before. We feel a deep connection to ourselves and to all in the universe.

Reiki gives us the ability to tap into our inner technology that is far greater than any technology we will ever see outside of our physical body. Reiki reconnects us with our inner world to heal, love, and remember who we are, and learn the powers of our inner technology hidden within!

What Is Usui Reiki?

REIKI is a Japanese intuitively guided healing practice where energy of the highest vibrational frequency activates the natural healing process within our body’s energy field. It is a blend of QUANTUM PHYSICS and SPIRITUALITY working together in HARMONY to activate the SELF-HEALER within to restore inner peace, wellbeing, and is a journey back to your soul self.

This ancient holistic healing modality works on multiple levels, cleansing, aligning and restoring balance and harmony on mental, physical, emotional and spiritual levels.

The greatest benefits of Reiki occur when it is learned and adopted as a daily practise, a lifestyle that becomes a way of being in the world. Reiki is the same as any other healthful practise, in that when we lapse in our practise, we also lapse in the benefits this healing modality provides.

The Reiki healing system allows a gentle but deeper exploration for healing on an energetic, quantum level at the root cause of our symptoms. What we experience internally is always reflected back to us externally in our lives, so when we restore inner balance, stability and harmony it is mirrored back to us in our outer reality. We heal our lives as a whole.

Reiki Practitioners receive an attunement to open and cleanse the channels to connection with universal life force energy for it to flow to others through energy meridian points in the hands. Through their own self-healing first, Practitioners develop the strength and ability to intuitively read the energy within and around the energy field of the recipient to identify areas where energy feels stagnant, in resistance, or imbalanced. Reiki works to restore balanced flow in the chakras and energy meridians within the body, and the auric field just outside the physical body that is part of our energy field and release any impediments to great health and wellbeing on an energetic level.

Reiki energy is channelled with the support of sacred mantras (sound), symbols (glyphs) and the power of positive intention to move and shift energy.

Energy flow through our mind, body, and soul becomes impeded through unhelpful lifestyle habits, patterns, cycles, outdated beliefs and programming that create discord, disharmony and imbalances within our energy. Things that deplete rather than complement our energy, and are not in alignment with the core values, beliefs and energy of our soul signature energy.

They identify imbalances at the mental, physical, emotional and spiritual levels showing us where where we are living out of balance. Each chakra (energy point within the body) corresponds to the systems, organs, emotions and weaknesses within our body that are a result of not only lifestyle choices but also inherited from our ancestors, our ancestral DNA and our past lives. We are multidimensional beings and energy healing works on multidimensional levels as opposed to conventional western medicine and medical healthcare systems.

Since Reiki is a quantum energy level healing, meaning it can be applied over space and time (past, present and future), it can be received either in person or at distance (virtually or remote) and the body receives the healing benefits in exactly the same way, whether physically in person with a Practitioner, or at a distance receiving it from anywhere else in the world.

WHAT DOES RECEIVING REIKI FEEL LIKE?

The most common sensations from receiving Reiki energy are a tingling sensation in the body or palms of hands or soles of feet, changes in temperature (coolness or warmth), seeing visions of colours or images, states of deep relaxation, calmness and peace, or sometimes a release of emotions through tears or laughter (sometimes passing gas), or feeling nothing at all.

Our bodies and energy fields are unique, as are our awakening journeys, and our experience of both receiving and channelling Reiki will be unique for us too and develop over time as we clear away the toxicity that has kept our energy and wellbeing from thriving.

Healing happens in layers, it is an continual journey that spirals upward. For that reason, several sessions at regularly timed intervals are necessary to experience greater benefits of Reiki, and ongoing sessions after that for maintenance. This is why I prefer teaching Reiki, as a means to empower you with this on-demand spiritually healing practice.

Learning Reiki and adopting it as part of your daily lifestyle creates the opportunity to not only self heal at your own pace, any time you need it, but also works to build inner stability, inner security, inner resilience, and wellbeing. It promotes deeper self awareness and self-discovery, leading to higher states of consciousness where we feel deeply connected both within, and with the universe.

The more we practice self-Reiki, the more we naturally develop and strengthen discernment, helping us to navigate life in a more authentic way aligned with who we truly are and experiences that support personal growth and fulfillment.

As with all healing modalities, this level of wellbeing comes from commitment to the daily practising of self-Reiki which requires patience, commitment, self-discipline, and an open, receptive mind and heart.
