What explorations are most relevant to us in 2025, given the astrology and energetic signatures? Who might we become in the face of upheaval and change?Over the course of two episodes, Kelsey Rose Tortorice and I are joining forces to discuss the astrology of 2025.On this episode, Part 1, we cover the undertones: Pluto, Neptune, Uranus, and Chiron.Meanwhile, Part 2, on Kelsey's podcast The Maia Games, covers the mid tones: Jupiter, Saturn, and The Lunar Nodes.With all three outer planets shifting signs, 2025 is a year of significant astrological changes. Over the past few years of knowing Kelsey, I've been deeply impacted by their perspectives, creative fluency with astrology, and visceral kinship with the outer planets. Kelsey was the first person that came to mind and this conversation was as electric as I dreamed them to be.Listen to Part 2 on Kelsey's podcast, The Maia Games.Timestamps:[00:18:00] On the concept of undertones & mid tones[00:23:44] Chiron in Aries[00:48:46] Pluto in Aquarius[01:10:58] Neptune shifting from Pisces into Aries[01:33:50] Uranus shifting from Taurus into GeminiKelsey's bio:Kelsey is a post-capitalist astrologer, teacher, human design experiMentor, and community initiator.
