2025 New Year Message
/As Nobel laureate Ilya Prigogine reminds us: “Small islands of coherence in a sea of chaos have the capacity to lift the entire system to a higher order.”
For decades I have studied the field of astrology. Over the years, I have not widened my circle of clients to any extent, but this year, my focus is to broaden and deepen the scope of my message. My request to those of you reading this message is this: please consider sharing with others so we may work together in the coming days, weeks, months, and years to create a world that works for all, that benefits all humanity and sentient beings; yes, including the air we breathe, the water we consume, and the earth that provides sustenance. May we find answers and guidance to remove the toxicity that seeps into all levels of existence. Instead, may we know how we are all connected. May we allow love to rule the day.
Why astrology? Ironically, Einstein’s theories of relativity bring an understanding of a quantum field, an energy, a force that exists in all things. Perhaps we are in a divine dance with universal forces in the cosmos. Astrology and its language allow us to see and experience a higher consciousness. The archetypes in the language of astrology describes our existence via patterns, metaphors, and Kairos time. While I am certain, Martin Luther King, Jr. was not influenced by astrology, he believed in the existence of a spiritual world. He stated: I am convinced that the universe is under the control of a loving purpose. And that in the struggle for righteousness man has cosmic companionship. Behind the harsh appearance of the world there is a benign power.
I welcome this New Year 2025 and those who develop their small island(s) of coherence in a confusing world. May we join via digital and in-person communities to bring together light and love. May you find a safe place within this space here: www.soulpath-astrology.com.
Rather than provided an overview and forecast of 2025, I want to provide a current snapshot of astrological events in this first Soulpath-Astrology message of the year. (See below)
My intention is to build a community to share experiences and ideas. I am working on developing a platform to do this.
Meanwhile, I am offering modest memberships for those who want to connect with me one-on-one monthly or on a quarterly basis to receive astrological and/or intuitive guidance. Send me an email (cbasen@sbcglobal.net) or text (925.899.6510) to set this up. I look forward to an enchanting and engaging year with all of you. None of us should sit on the sidelines and watch but jump into the fray. Yipee!
Rather than New Years Resolutions, try reflecting on the questions posed below or go into an inquiry that can support your soul's evolution. I believe we all benefit during this year, 2025 by "Remembering, Recovering, Releasing, and Restoring.
Words from Lorna Bevan, astrologer:

SOUL MINING OR SCAPEGOATING?
As Mars retrogrades opposite Pluto in Aquarius throughout January until February 23, we are all blundering through a minefield of our own and others’ unhealed wounds, old scars and painful sensitivities, setting off hidden trip wires of all kinds. Between January 6 - February 24 2025 Mars will Retrograde in Cancer, reawakening old dysfunctional family patterns and early primal wounding.
The T-square between retrograde Mars, Pluto and Eris-the Discomforting Other, the Alien, the outsider- makes it all too easy to look for enemies everywhere – to look anywhere but at your own part in polarized “Us versus Them” scenarios.
Expect to see a doubling down on the culturally encouraged trance of scapegoating, blame and finger-pointing -the usual kneejerk response to avoiding looking closely at our own wounds.
Life is not a spectator sport, and we can’t stand on the sidelines and participate from a distance. Something a lot more intimate, more creative, and alchemical is being asked of us right now- a process of Soul Mining, making the wounding conscious.
how would you describe your emotional world, your sense of internal security and your most reactive defenses?
what would extending compassion for your tender vulnerable self actually look and feel like?
how can you protect your heart without acting defensively?
your moodiness has a message worth investigating-what might it be?
what truth is your passive aggression afraid to express outright?
