Are you being a people pleaser? On the surface, people-pleasing looks harmless. You want to be polite, kind, or helpful. You say “yes” when asked for a favor, smooth over (or avoid) conflicts, or bend yourself into what you think others expect.

The Retrograde Planets of 2025: A Collective Turning Point Toward Freedom
As I’ve mentioned before, the astrology of 2025 marks the beginning of a powerful collective shift. Several (outer) planets have moved into new signs, planting seeds of transformation that will shape the future for decades.

As Uranus, the cosmic rebel, moves into Gemini (from July 7th, 2025 to May 22nd, 2033), the winds of change will start a new era that will completely reshape the ways we think, speak, learn, and engage in the world.
