The end of the cycle is here: what’s in store for 2025?

This is the final year in this 9-year cycle that began in 2017. After the relentless grind and revelation of 2024 — not all of it reported in the mainstream media — how is 2025 shaping up? And what can we focus on to ready ourselves for the launch of the new cycle in 2026?

Here’s my snapshot, the TL, DR* version This year we’re clearing the path for new projects, new associations, and new ways of doing things. We’re preparing for transformative shifts in 2026. Hence, there’s likely to be some conflict because some things have to end. The ideal is to avoid the superficial and instead focus on completing all outstanding tasks at hand. It’s best if we are as detached as possible in our dealings with others. Stay in the moment, only plan in the short run. Let go of anything that no longer resonates. If we can do this, we can avoid considerable internal turmoil.

Other than conflict and completion, one other word characterises 2025 and that’s courage. We may need it to deal with the other two!
