2025 has been one of the most energetically potent years we’ve seen in real estate, especially here in the Coachella Valley and the High Desert. Clients, agents, and even lifelong investors are feeling the shift — and it’s not just the market. This year carries a very specific spiritual and astrological signature that explains why so many people feel stuck, uncertain, or ready to make major life changes all at once.

As someone who has spent over 15 years studying astrology and spirituality — and who now guides clients through buying and selling homes — I’ve been fascinated watching how this Snake Year (and global 9 year) is influencing the real estate landscape on both a practical and soulful level.

◆ 2025 Snake Year | A Time of Shedding, Releasing & Recalibrating ◆

In Chinese astrology, 2025 is a Snake Year — a season of inner transformation, shedding outdated patterns, and clearing what no longer aligns with our future. It’s also a universal 9 year, marking the end of a long cycle and preparation for a major rebirth.

That energy is showing up everywhere in real estate. Sellers are releasing homes that no longer fit the life they’re stepping into. Buyers are letting go of old fears and outdated expectations. And the market itself is recalibrating back to a balanced, pre-COVID pace.

◆ Why 2025 Has Felt Heavy, Slow & Repetitive ◆

Many people describe 2025 as “Groundhog Day energy” — feeling plateaued, paused, or unable to move forward. Beyond interest rates and inventory, there’s an energetic reason: we’ve had six planets in retrograde, including Mercury during the time of filming this video.

Retrogrades aren’t here to punish us — they’re here to help us revisit, rethink, refine, and release. And collectively, we’ve been doing a lot of that. Whether you’re preparing to list your home or step into homeownership, this year has been a cosmic audit, asking:

“What am I ready to leave behind so I can step into something new?”

◆ The 2025 Market | Balanced, Realistic & Back to Pre-COVID Norms ◆

We’re officially out of the 2021 frenzy and out of the 2008 fear narrative. Today’s market is balanced and grounded. Pricing correctly, presenting homes beautifully, and understanding current comps matter more than ever.

Sellers who cling to old expectations find themselves sitting on the market. Buyers waiting for a “crash” are missing opportunities they’ll wish they acted on. The real estate landscape isn’t collapsing — it’s correcting. And clarity is returning.

◆ 2026 || The Fire Horse Year | Full Throttle Forward ◆

Once we cross into 2026 — a Fire Horse year and a universal 1 year — the momentum shifts dramatically. Think horsepower, acceleration, new beginnings, and fast-moving opportunities.

From mid-February’s solar eclipse onward, we enter a season of bold action. Decisions that felt impossible in 2025 suddenly click. Homes move. Markets activate. People feel ready again. It’s the arrow being pulled back before it launches forward.

◆ What Buyers & Sellers Should Do Right Now ◆

If you’re selling, this is the moment to price strategically, stage intentionally, and prepare your home to meet today’s reality — not 2021’s.

If you’re buying, the window before the Fire Horse energy kicks in could be your chance to enter the market before competition heats up again in early 2026.
