What to Leave Behind in 2025: Preparing for 2026

What to Leave Behind in 2025: Preparing for 2026

I am still amazed that we have less than three weeks left in this year. Not that I’m sad about it. 2025, don’t let the door hit you on the way out!

I know there has been a lot of talk among astrologers about how life-changing and awe-inspiring next year will be. And yes, that’s completely true.

You’ve been hearing forecasts about our “unprecedented” years since 2020, but really, hasn’t it been true every single time?

Since 2026 brings us a planetary alignment never seen in recorded history, it isn’t an exaggeration to say it will be unprecedented again. Yet completely different.

Everything is going to be different. With all the planets moving into new signs, and Saturn, the planet of structure, meeting up with Neptune, the planet that dissolves structures, at zero degrees Aries, we are sure to see many things fall apart and be rebuilt.

Letting Go and Traveling Light

So what does this mean for you? You need to let some things go. In an era of new frontiers, you want to travel lightly. It will make your life so much easier.

Here are some suggestions for what to leave behind in 2025:

Anything that feels bad in your body.
You know that feeling of dread when you have to connect with someone who drains your energy, or when you’re fulfilling an obligation that isn’t truly yours, or when you’re committing to work that feels unfulfilling. It’s time to let go of what looks good on paper but feels wrong in your body. Those feelings are guiding you.

People pleasing.
Yes, this is a lifelong journey for empaths, but next year will test it. 2026 is a 1 Universal Year in numerology, which encourages you to put yourself first and make yourself a priority. When you don’t do that, the lessons get louder in a 1 year. So practice now, okay?

Trying to do everything yourself.
I know this sounds contradictory after what I just said about putting yourself first. But the 1 vibration lends itself to so much self-sufficiency that you can end up feeling unsupported and resentful. You can shift this now by letting people help you. Ask for what you need—even if it’s just a hug. (Here’s one from me!)

Creating intentions that live only in your mind.
Your soul is going to call the shots next year regardless of what you think you want. The more you listen to what your heart wants instead of what looks good on paper, the more fulfilled you will be. If something feels expansive, say yes. If something feels off, pay attention and redirect.

Just winging it.
If you go into 2026 without a general plan, you may get thrown off course. You don’t need to know everything, but you do need a sense of direction. Timing will be immensely important. With so many planets changing signs and bringing dramatic shifts in weather, finances, communication, and events, you want to know the best timing for your choices and resources.

Preparing for 2026

I’ve spent the past few months studying the energies of 2026, and every month brings unique opportunities, challenges, and spiritual lessons. Knowing these patterns can help you map out your year and plan for the energetic waves. If ever there was a year to know the celestial weather, it is 2026. It’s going to move fast.

In the meantime, take some space to tune into your heart, release what you don’t want to take with you, and enter the new year with the unbridled spirit of a Fire Horse.

Much love,
~ Kari
