The Numerology of 2025: A Year of Spiritual Mastery
As we approach the new year, the energy of 2025 comes into focus and gifts us with the opportunity to prepare ourselves for the year ahead. From the perspective of Numerology, 2025 is a “9” year ( 2+0+2+5=9 ).
The Hermit Card from The Creatrice Tarot
In the Major Arcana of the Tarot, The Hermit embodies the mystical undertones of the 9 energy, representing illumination, wisdom, spiritual mastery and a deepening spiritual practice.
2025 Themes: psychic protection, courage, personal truth, introspection, integrity, navigating the unknown, endings, spiritual initiation, self-awareness
Right now, there is a long-standing regime fighting for survival against a new wave of consciousness that desires change, authenticity, innovation, and freedom. Whether you are conscious of it or not, we can all feel the energetic tension of the 9 at play as we enter the final chapter of a greater spiritual cycle in 2025. We can somehow sense that we are caught between worlds—the death of the old and the birth of the new—and 2025 will only continue to highlight the confusion and discomfort of this transitional period. In many ways, 2025 may feel like the calm before the storm, or it could be that we are already in the eye of it without even knowing. Amidst the darkness we will desperately be seeking the light, and so the Hermit’s lantern becomes a symbol of guidance, faith, and refuge in turbulent times of chaos and change.
2025 Is An Initiation
In 2025 we are facing the greatest lesson of all—to know thyself.
9 represents the energy of spiritual mastery which cannot be achieved without initiation, focus and practice. In a sense, 2024 was the warm-up for the lessons to come in 2025. The 8 energy taught us how to tap into our inner resources, to discover our strengths and weaknesses, and to stand in our power. Now that we understand that we have the power to create our own reality, the question then becomes what do we create and why? This upcoming 9 year will be the year where our skills and our personal values are finally put to the test—imploring us to stand strong with unwavering conviction, knowing what is truly worth fighting for.
Personally, I believe we are in the midst of an escalating spiritual battle which will only continue to initiate us into a new level of spiritual strength and resilience. This year will give us a unique opportunity to experience and model “strength” in new ways, and to explore masculinity in it’s evolved form, as the archetypal protector and father who leads courageously, but not forcefully. In order for us to “win” in 2025, we must learn the art of self-mastery, emotional maturity, empathy, and hone the wisdom of reflection. As the year unfolds we will likely experience moments of silence, stillness and stasis, punctuated by bursts of inspiration, new beginnings, and new passions. In 2025 we are learning to find peace and quiet when the world gets loud (and it likely will). In the face of uncertainty and unprecedented change, our courage must emerge from a source of profound inner knowing, love, and optimism for the future—not out of fear of losing that which we have already conquered.
Above all else, 2025 will be about integrity. Being unshakeable in moments of confusion and chaos and finding refuge within. Superficiality will fall by the wayside, for we cannot be truly independent and sovereign without getting deep into the heart of our own truth. Now is the time to go on that inner journey and discover what’s there. If you don’t, you risk being led astray, manipulated, and captured by ideas and illusions that aren’t authentic to you on a deep soul level. Consciousness can be weaponized, which is why it’s extremely important to take responsibility for your own mental landscape and develop a strong spiritual practice in this upcoming year.
In 2025, we are finding the keys that unlock this next level of spiritual mastery. We are emboldening ourselves to become masters of a new domain, aligned to a mission that is deeply personal yet in greater service to the whole of humanity.
The Wisdom Of The Hermit
The Hermit isn’t inherently calm. He actively seeks peace when the world gets loud. He seeks solitude. He seeks clarity. He seeks wisdom. Make no mistake, 2025 will not be a calm, quiet year. However, it will be a year where we learn how to remove ourselves from the chaos of the external world to find solace. To finally be able to listen to our internal guidance system and to trust it. More than ever, we must realize that peace is something to protect, and that battle starts within. 2025 is where we deepen our faith as we go further into the unknown—an unknown that is approaching at lightspeed, whether we are ready for it or not.
