The Karma of Astrological Transits

Everything Starts to Shift

You know that moment in life where you feel like everything is shifting?

Sometimes it's those major endings that come with such deep grief, shock, and heart ache...

Sometimes it's the beautiful, wild and potent sense of a new chapter opening. You feel alive again, and you're not sure why or where it's going just yet. These moments are entirely linked to your Astrological Transits, especially when it comes to the Outer Planets.

Life has been sticky lately… I know we all feel the major energetic shifts happening in our world. Chaos seems to be all around us (thanks to many transits including Chiron connecting with Eris in Aries) while time seems to be speeding up, collective karma is at a massive breaking point, and everyone I know is coming to terms with the life they thought they would have vs the life we are now building in a new world.

This is why I am so passionate about looking at transits in birth charts.

If you have a pulse, you’ve been feeling the shifts of the cosmic tides over the last 2 years, and more deeply over the last 6 months. I knew radical changes were coming, and I had been sitting with what this might mean for me over the last year as I watched the planets approach the finality of each sign they transited.

As Neptune and Saturn approached my 7th house in Aries I had a deep knowing that the next 14 years (Neptune's length of time moving through that area of my chart) would usher me into collaboration (7th house) but I would have to radically change the way I am in relationship with people. Honestly? This made me a little nervous. “More relationship stuff?” I thought as my Libra rising life school echoed ‘Always’ back at me.

This is because anything moving through Aries will initiate me into become more bold, say what I really mean, and become unafraid to meet confrontation with others. It also means I need to see where those qualities have been out of touch within my own life. Where I’ve been selfish, self-focused, and have bulldozed others. Right on time, the minute Neptune shifted into my 7th house I was suddenly having "hard" conversations, having to firm up my boundaries with people, and meeting confrontation left right and centre.

"Damn" I thought, "that happened fast."

So what did I do? I went out and bought several books on boundaries, people pleasing and even one called "the courage to be disliked" because I knew that this transit will be moving me through old karmic patterns I've stored in this area of my life.

The story doesn't end there. I had to come to terms with the fact that while this is happening Chiron in the sky is forming an exact square to my natal Chiron in Cancer, Pluto conjunct my IC, Neptune and Saturn are trine my Leo Stellium + all the other intense and potent transits I am currently moving through, but I wont bore you with those details just now.

10 years ago I would have been lost in a sea of confusion, delusion, and anger at the massive transits I am currently experiencing in my chart. Now? I have the tools at the ready to move through this process and ride these cosmic tides.

Even if you don’t know it yet, there is major areas of your life shifting in 2025.


Astrological transits are karmic portals into new ways of being.


They will activate old karmic wounds, and open the possibility of creating new karmic patterns within you (for better, or worse.)

Astrological transits are opportunities into shedding, releasing, and seeing out dated ways of being that are creating stagnation within you.

Transits can break you open, shift your reality, force you to shed old versions of yourself. But they can also show you your sacred path. They offer glimpses and radical shifts into new landscapes and possibilities.

My favourite part of all this? You get to make the choice through what you’re willing to see, shift, and grow within your life. Astrology does not control your fate. It offers you invitations into meeting new versions of yourself over and over again.

Often the louder the wound is, the more you have repressed, ignored, and refused to meet its medicine.

This isn’t your fault. You were never given the tools.

In fact, the very tools that would have radically shifted your reality have been suppressed, hidden, and buried with time. Of course, this is why it's called the Occult. And this is why it's forbidden, frowned upon, or called "the Devil's work". This is why so many women, magicians, and oracles were burned, beaten, and shut up.

The truth is…

Transits will shift your life whether you like it or not, so why not work with the cosmic tides instead of trying to swim against them?

Your life is always being activated by transit, whether you know it or not. You have several transits happening at once, which can create intense and chaotic moments, and beautiful openings (sometimes at the exact same time.)

The key here is, you have the choice. You can either understand the karmic signatures you’re moving through, grow, and change your reality. Or sink deeper into the karmic loops you’ve been stuck in your entire life.

It's entirely up to you (self responsibility sucks, doesn't it?)

Maybe you’re already deep in a personal rebirth, and don’t want to wait to decode your karmic activations? Timelines of Destiny is the sacred space we created for this exact moment.

Decoding Outer Planet Transits


The house of major transits will provide the “where” for the karmic portal. For instance, in a 7th house transit the “where” will be in your relationships.

The planet will provide the “what” for the karmic portal, meaning “what” is changing in your life. For instance, a Saturn transit will challenge and reshape your discipline, responsibilities, and the structure of your life.

The sign will provide the “how” for the karmic portal. For instance, a Virgo transit will initiate you into new ways of connecting with your health, your work, and your relationship to control, intolerance, and perfectionism.

Knowing this means you can then begin to acquire the tools to use while you move through a potent and powerful shift in your life by transit.


Your Astrological Tool Belt


Your astrological tool belt needs to be full of things that can help you find peace in moments of chaos and upheaval. Let me also clarify that peace looks different to everyone. Peace to me means taking time for walks in nature, having quiet time to recharge away from people, choosing not to engage with with trolls, not having to prove myself, choosing relationships that have unconditional love…. you get it. The tools you put in your tool belt are things that help you do what brings you peace. For me that looks like yoga, walks, saying no to a lot of things (and being okay with it), hypnosis, journaling, reading and, of course looking at my astrological chart to understand what karmic portal I am processing when I am going mad.

Tools to help you move through intense transits might look like paid tools such as astrology readings, hypnosis sessions, therapy, plant medicine journeys, massage, etc.

But the tools you gather shouldn’t always cost you money. The best tools are often free. Fresh air, movement, eating well, writing, laughing, sunsets… these are sacred medicines the earth naturally provides for us. When you’re in a massive transit that is bringing chaos into your life, these free tools are going to be the most important thing in your life.

Purchasing a book on boundaries and people pleasing might be the most sacred medicine you can provide yourself with.

Having a Past Life Regression might be the most sacred medicine you can provide yourself with.

Sitting on the beach and watching the sunset every night of the summer might be the most sacred medicine you can provide yourself with.

Make sure that you are utilizing the free medicines the earth naturally provides for you as your base line. The monetary things like sessions with healers should be bonuses.

This is just one example of how you can use your astrological transits to shift your reality. The key is, you have to be aware of what's coming. This doesn't mean you're trying to predict the future. We don't do that here. For instance, I know I am working with heavy 7th , 5th, 9th, and 11th house transits. I am going to focus my attention there. What are these areas going to need me to pay attention to as I move through the next 8-14 years?

This means tapping into the energy of what is being activated for you in your life through these radical shifts.

And I know, it gets complex the minute we start looking at the chart and bringing in all the moving pieces.

(Ps, One of my favourite courses I’ve ever made walks you through each and every house in your chart & the planets inside them. Check it out here.)

How to work with your Astrological Transits

If you’re already attuned to figuring out what transits you’re moving through with your astrological studies, perfect. If not, I highly suggest reaching out to a skilled astrologer or getting a transit report from a reputable astrology site, or join Timelines of Destiny where you’ll learn exactly where the four major outer planet transits are activating you in 2025 & beyond.

This is why we created Timelines of Destiny. Because these initiations aren’t random, they’re roadmaps and cosmic invitations into new ways of being. Transits are portals into finalizing old karmic loops and shifting your entirely reality. But as you know by now, you have to say yes, and take the leap. Otherwise you’ll continue running in circles (trust me, I’ve been there too.)

If you’re feeling overwhelmed thinking, “Vika, how the hell do I decode what transits I am currently moving through” Don’t worry, I’ve got you. You don’t have to figure this out alone. I want to make these potent and powerful tools easy for you to digest.

Inside Timelines of Destiny, you’ll learn to decode your personal karmic transits, reclaim your leadership, and remember the soul blueprint you're here to walk. This isn’t just astrology. It’s your liberation.

And that's exactly what I've done with my dear friend Raechelle Embrey inside Timelines of Destiny where we decided to pair up and teach you exactly how to decode the current outer planet shifts this year (2025 & beyond) and radically shift your timeline using them.



You'll discover these outer planet transits and how they're impacting your chart (and how to embody new ways of being with them):

Neptune in Aries – Dissolving the false identities, illusions, and karmic patterns you’ve carried about yourself, your worth, and your relationships. The ones that kept you unseen, underpaid, and stuck performing versions of yourself that were never the full truth

Saturn in Aries – Restructuring your identity and leadership… anchoring the courage to show up with unapologetic audacity and lead from your next timeline.


Jupiter in Cancer – Expanding your emotional capacity to hold more… wealth, clients, self-trust, and deeper intimacy with your desires


Uranus in Gemini – Shaking up where you’ve been rigid… gripping too tightly to the familiar… and shattering the mental loops that have kept you spinning in spiritual scarcity, scattered energy, and karmic confusion.

This is deep, body-based energetic recoding… through the lens of your leadership, your wealth, and your soul’s karmic blueprint.


These transits aren’t just collective astrology headlines.

They’re delivering fated destiny timelines.

Timelines that will either pull you forward… or keep you trapped in the same income dips, emotional spirals, and relationship patterns you already know too well.

If you’re serious about breaking the karmic loop (for good!) Timelines of Destiny is where it happens.
