Resolutions? Intentions? Nah!

Happy 2025!

May this new year bring you much peace, success, satisfaction, and surprises (depending on what your type and signature is ;)).

I’ve been enjoying the calm of the last days of the year. Where I am in the Bavarian Alps, the weather’s been exceptionally nice. Clear skies, crisp air, and bright sunlight!

It feels like a good omen for 2025.

2025 Looks Exciting!

Interesting times lie ahead of us with many changes incoming. If you’re into astrology, you’ve probably read about the major vibe shifts that are coming with the outer planets Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto all moving into new signs and elements. Lots of air, a little fire, no more earth and water.

I’m excited for it. We’re in need of change on so many levels. As an air sign myself, I’m also hugely looking forward to a move away from the earth energy of the past years (decade+) that’s felt heavy and constricting.

At the same time, success is not a given. Change at the level we need it is a big task. It’s entirely on us how we navigate and shape it. The waves are there, whether and how we surf them is our decision.

These times are also a breeding ground for uncertainty and fear. To stay with the surfing analogy, it can feel like we’re being tossed around in the water. With every rise and fall of the ocean, it may feel like all you want is a break. That is not the nature of surfing and life, though - I have to remind myself of it, too.

False prophets with big promises are everywhere. It’s better to check in with your authority carefully, whether what you’re reading and hearing makes sense and whether the person who’s relaying the information is somebody who’s ideas you want to take in. Fear is a bad advisor - it’s also a bad leader.

How to Start the Year Right

Navigating life at this time of the year is especially interesting, because collectively we’ve turned a leaf. A brand new calendar year is an opportunity for change - or so it seems. It’s easy to get swept up in the wave of people wanting to or feeling like they have to switch things up.

Get fitter, happier, more productive (like the Radiohead song) in 2025.

Much of this type of goal setting is mental and driven by the not-self. The undefined ego will whisper to you that these are the ways you’ll finally feel worthy. Just sign up!

The joke’s on us, of course. No external achievement will ever quench the parched not-self trying to quench its thirst for validation. (I feel I wrote this beautifully!)

If you’re following your strategy and authority, every moment of your life is perfect for making a change. More so, it will lead you towards what brings you the most satisfaction, peace, success, and surprise.

What the world suggests to you - now or ever - may not be what lights you up the most. It’s a good idea to be mindful of these things, as we’re currently being inundated with messaging about what to change about ourselves.

The game to play is evolvement. Making healing and becoming who we are a joyous occasion. 

The more we follow our own path - from a Human Design lens with the support of strategy and authority - the more we get to shed the gunk that’s not us. 

We’re not changing who we are. We’re freeing our core from the many layers of conditioning put on it like crusty mud.

Meeting Yourself in 2025

2025, more than ever, is a great opportunity to meet ourselves and continue to be ourselves. As challenging as it may be, at times, it holds great rewards for us.

To me, it feels like it’s truly the only way forward. Conforming and expecting to be happy is definitely over.

At any rate, I’m excited to keep writing this newsletter at my emotional-authority-pace in 2025. Thank you for being here!

May 2025 be a year filled with light, health, happiness, fulfilling relationships, and all the other good things you desire.

May you connect with and become who you truly are,

Johanna

1:1s to Connect with Yourself in 2025

If you want to get serious about reconnecting with yourself, you can schedule a 1:1 reading and coaching session with me. We’ll use Human Design to see how you can become more of and be yourself in this new year.

It’s time to shed the deadweight of everything you’re not!
