Qué Estructuras Colapsarán en 2025 y Cómo Aprovechar Esta Energía

What Structures Will Collapse in 2025 and How to Harness This Energy

January 18, 2025

The year 2025 is marked by astrological transitions that underline the collapse of what has been our external support, both collectively and individually . There are several astrological indicators of this: 1. The sign change of the lunar nodes.

The year 2025 is marked by astrological transitions that underline the collapse of what has been our external support, both collectively and individually . There are several astrological indicators of this:

1. The sign change of the lunar nodes. The North Node enters Pisces, the last sign of the zodiac, associated with chaos, dissolution and lack of material firmness . Pisces is not related to the physical or the tangible, but to the ethereal, the abstract. Where the North Node is, there is an increase in that energy, and its presence in Pisces indicates a growing sense of external instability, a call to let go of material bases to connect with something deeper ( read more about the lunar nodes in Pisces and Virgo here).

2. Saturn enters Aries. Saturn enters Aries, its sign of fall , this year. This means that everything Saturn rules — governments, authority figures, hierarchies, tangible structures, and matter itself — is in a state of weakness (yes, we will continue to see governments fall). Saturn is the planet that symbolizes tangible manifestation, that which gives form and stability to the physical world. In literal terms, this transit can manifest as falls, collapses, endings, or crises in physical and symbolic structures.

3. Mars retrograde in Cancer. Here, Mars is also in its fall sign . This means that everything that Mars rules—desire, direct action, the impulse to intervene in our environment—loses strength, at least at first. Mars represents our ability to act, to feel that we have some influence over what happens around us. But during its retrograde, this energy is greatly weakened. Cancer (a water sign) is linked to the past, tradition, and memory. It is a return to roots, a journey toward that which has not yet manifested itself , toward a symbolic “womb” where the old dissolves to make way for the new. Water, as an element, does not build; it dissolves, erodes, and purifies. It is the closing of a cycle, the cleansing necessary to make room for renewed fertility, an abundance of possibilities yet to manifest ( read more about the Mars retrograde transit here ).

4. Eclipses in Virgo and Pisces throughout the year. Eclipses themselves signal endings and new beginnings . Pisces, associated with chaos and dissolution , speaks to us of the end of tangible structures that provided stability. Although it may feel chaotic at first, this process is necessary to allow for reordering . Eclipses in Virgo and Pisces invite us to let go of the external and connect with a deeper order, one that transcends matter.

5. Venus retrogrades in Aries and Pisces. In 2025, Venus retrogrades from Aries to Pisces, a journey that symbolizes a descent . Aries, as a beginning, marks the vital impulse: the new, what emerges without having been shaped. Pisces, on the other hand, represents the end. It is chaos, dissolution, the symbolic death necessary for something to be reborn. This transit forces us to face a fall — a regression in the values we hold and in what we consider harmony — before reaching a deeper transformation.

The planet Venus is named after the Roman goddess of the same name. However, Venus is only the Roman name for a universal archetype that has always been present in all cultures . Among its equivalents we find Inanna , one of the most important divinities of the Sumerian pantheon . Inanna is the protagonist of a myth that resonates deeply with the collective moment we are going through. In 2025, her story becomes a powerful reflection of the processes of transformation and dissolution that we are all called to live.

Who is Inanna in Sumerian Mythology?

Inanna is one of the most important deities in Sumerian mythology, known as the goddess of love, fertility, beauty, desire, but also of war, justice and political power . Her complexity as a divine figure makes her a fascinating archetype that encompasses both the creative and the destructive. As we discussed above, she is the Sumerian equivalent of Venus; although with a broader and more dynamic character. Inanna rules over the cycles of life and death, transformation and rebirth, representing the connection between the earthly and the divine.

In Sumerian myths, she is described as a powerful and bold figure, capable of challenging established norms and confronting other deities. Her best-known myth, in which she descends into the underworld, shows her abandoning everything that defines her externally to confront the depths and be reborn transformed.

The myth goes like this: Inanna decides to descend into the underworld to visit her sister Ereshkigal , the goddess of that dark realm. Ereshkigal was going through a devastating mourning after being widowed - although she herself had murdered her husband —, remaining in a state of deep pain and grief.

To enter the underworld, Inanna must pass through seven gates , and at each one she is forced to remove a symbol of her power and status : her jewels, her youth and beauty, her clothing and her divine attributes. Finally, she arrives naked, completely vulnerable, before her sister . Without her external protections, Inanna is exposed to the force of Ereshkigal, who kills her in this encounter.

Although Inanna is later revived, this descent symbolizes the absolute surrender of the external.

The Descent of Inanna: An Exercise in Detachment

Now let's use this myth of Inanna's descent to perform an introspective and transformative exercise. Let's not think of myths as stories without connection to our lives. Although they never happened in a specific time or space, myths are always happening, because they represent the deepest part of human nature and its symbols.

This exercise, inspired by Inanna's descent, invites us to go through our own seven doors, releasing layer by layer what we believe defines us . It is recommended to do it calmly and repeat it several times throughout the year. With each practice we will discover new layers of ourselves. After several repetitions, we will have completely changed our energy.

As we do this, emotions such as fear, insecurity or emptiness may arise. This is normal and part of the process . The important thing is to go at our own pace, with patience and openness, allowing this internal work to prepare us to embrace the transformative energy of 2025.

How to Start Exercise

First, find a quiet place where you can be silent and uninterrupted. Sit comfortably, close your eyes, and begin to visualize (if you want, you can pre-record this exercise on an audio file so you can listen to it while you practice it). We are going to go through these seven doors, releasing at each one something that we have used to define ourselves. This descent is a symbolic journey into the essential, an opportunity to find who we really are when we leave the external behind.

First Gate: Material Possessions

At this first door, we leave behind our possessions. Those objects that have accompanied us, that we believe are indispensable or that, in some way, we define as part of who we are. Maybe they are valuables, properties, memories or simple everyday things that we use to feel safe. Visualize how you place each of these objects at the door and take a step forward, without taking anything with you.

Questions to reflect on:

1. What emotions arise when leaving all these things behind?

2. Are there objects that I accumulate looking for them to define me?

3. If everything I have disappeared today, who would I be without them?

Second Door: Professional Titles

Here we leave our credentials, the degrees we have worked so hard to achieve. PhDs, bachelor’s degrees, specializations, professional roles: they are all behind us. Think about how these achievements have shaped your perception of yourself. Symbolically place your degrees on this door and keep moving forward.

Questions to reflect on:

1. To what extent does my personal value depend on the degrees I have obtained?

2. What aspect of myself remains unrecognized without those accomplishments?

3. How do I perceive myself without my professional role?

Third Gate: Reputation

At this door we let go of our reputation: how others see us, the expectations we’ve built around them, and the masks we wear to meet them. We free ourselves from that need to be seen in a certain way. Drop that burden at this door and move on.

Questions to reflect on:

1. Which part of my identity is most closely tied to how others perceive me?

2. What would be different in my life if I didn't seek external approval?

3. How would my behavior change if I stopped worrying about my reputation?

Fourth Gate: Personal Relationships

Here we leave our relationships: our partner, our children, our friends, in other words, those relationships that are a fundamental part of our daily life. This is not an act of abandonment, but an invitation to let go of attachment. We leave behind the need to define ourselves through those connections in order to find what lies beyond. Say goodbye to them, walk through the door, and move on.

Questions to reflect on:

1. What relationships in my life do I feel define me more than they should?

2. What fears arise when imagining myself without those connections?

3. What parts of myself manifest only when I am alone?

Fifth Gate: Social Status

At this door we let go of our status: our political, religious, cultural and social affiliations. Everything that gives us a sense of external belonging. Imagine letting go of these labels and walking through the door without them, stripped of the roles you occupy in a group or community.

Questions to reflect on:

1. How would I define who I am without the group I belong to?

2. How much of my sense of worth depends on my place in society?

3. What internal space opens up if I stop identifying myself with external labels?

Sixth Gate: Physical Appearance

At this door we leave our appearance: our features, our way of dressing, our body as we know it. We let go of the identification with the physical, that image we project outwards. Imagine how you surrender even your ethnicity, your state of health, your beauty or your imperfections. Move forward without those external layers.

Questions to reflect on:

1. What aspects of my appearance do I feel most define who I am?

2. What would my relationship with myself be like if there were no mirrors or external judgments?

3. What do I discover about myself when I imagine myself without any physical form?

Seventh Gate: Control and Certainties

In this last door we leave behind what we find most difficult to let go of: control, the need for certainty, and everything that connects us to matter as the support of our existence. Here we face emptiness, not knowing, letting go of the reins of what we think we can control. We leave behind our deepest beliefs about what defines us as human beings. This door invites us to surrender completely.

Imagine letting go of that need for answers, for keeping yourself safe through the tangible and predictable. To walk through this door is to surrender to the unknown, to trust that there is something beyond what we can control or understand.

Questions to reflect on:

1. What aspects of my life do I try to control the most and why?

2. How do I feel when I face the uncertain or the unknown?

3. If everything I consider safe were to disappear, what part of me would remain intact?

After Passing the Seven Gates

Now, take a moment to stop and notice what is left behind after the seven gates. Visualize the space you are in now, free of everything you used to carry. Ask yourself: what is here? What do I feel in this state of nakedness, of vulnerability? Allow yourself to explore what arises, without judgment. There may be a sense of emptiness, but also of lightness. Perhaps you will find a spark of something deeper, something that is not dependent on the external. This is the essential core of your being, that which remains intact when everything else dissolves. Reflect on what it feels like to inhabit this space and what possibilities can be born from here.

When you are done, breathe slowly and slowly return to your daily reality, feeling light, revitalized and confident.

This exercise can create a roller coaster of emotions: fear, insecurity, emptiness. But it is precisely in that emptiness that lies the opportunity to connect with our purest essence, that part of us that transcends the material and the superficial.
