Is a Revolution Coming in 2025?

There seems to be a lot of chatter online about an impending revolution in the U.S. and beyond beginning in 2025. With the age of AI, ongoing international turmoil, wars on families, women and children, an unprecedented U.S. election, and now the assassination of a high-profile healthcare CEO, more school shootings, the list goes on…conversations seem to be shifting from extreme political divide to an awakening class consciousness, which is a really interesting shift in such a short amount of time. We’re not pretending to be experts on the subject matter, we’re not historians or astrologists, but we do feel the shift happening. We’re here to explore what it means for our families, traditional or chosen.

The idea of an impending revolution in 2025 — rooted in astrological, historical, and cultural markers — captures the imagination as we collectively consider the cycles of change. The Age of Aquarius, associated with innovation, freedom, and community, is thought by some to mark a departure from hierarchal and rigid systems toward a more egalitarian era. Coupled with the debatable theorized historical pattern that empires often endure for roughly 250 years (this theory isn’t universally agreed upon but is still worth noting), the United States’ approaching 249th birthday amplifies this sense of an imminent tipping point. Whether you view these ideas through the lens of astrology, history, or sociology, they highlight an undeniable truth: change is inevitable, and we are living in a moment when structural and societal shifts feel increasingly urgent.

For families, this potential revolution represents both a challenge and an opportunity. Families are microcosms of society, where the larger forces of change are felt most acutely. Economic uncertainty, shifts in cultural values, and global crises require families to adapt in ways that can feel overwhelming. Yet, these pressures also present the opportunity to strengthen bonds, redefine priorities, and create environments rooted in mutual support. In uncertain times, the family unit — whether traditional or chosen — can become a safe harbor for navigating turbulence, offering stability in a world that may feel increasingly unstable.

New beginnings often emerge from endings, and while the prospect of significant societal shifts can be daunting, they also offer a chance to rewrite old narratives. For families, this could mean rethinking education, work-life balance, and even where and how to live. The growing movements toward sustainability, minimalism, and communal living are examples of how families are already tapping into older/Indigenous ways of being while ushering in the next generation. These shifts align with the Aquarian ethos of collaboration and innovation, suggesting that families may play a central role in shaping the next chapter of human history.

The spiritual dimension of these changes also invites reflection on legacy and what it means to build a better future. The generational dialogue — between parents and children, elders and youth — becomes critical during such times of transition. By instilling values of adaptability, compassion, and curiosity, families can equip the next generation to embrace and lead this revolution with courage. Just as empires rise and fall, individuals within families shape the moral and cultural fabric of whatever comes next.

Whether or not a revolution truly arrives in 2025, the symbolism invites us to act with intention. Change is not something to fear but to meet with open hearts and steady hands. For families, this means creating spaces where growth is encouraged, adaptability is nurtured, and love remains the constant amidst change. In a time of endings and beginnings, families can become the bridge between the world we leave behind and the one we are building anew.
