In the final month of 2025, we are being blessed with a fortunate opportunity to powerfully clear lifetimes of karmic debris, heal deep emotional wounds, dissolve stagnation, and receive important intuitive messages through the element of water.
Water is one of the 5 natural elements (water, earth, air, fire, aether). The elements are at the foundation of all ritual work. They are used as tools to create profound change in energy which then translates to changes in our physical reality. Working with water can be a gentle way to create important shifts within and around you; especially right now. In this article we will explore the power of water, why it is so important at this time, and some simple ways to get started harnessing this power.
The Power of Water
Water is a sacred technology. It governs our emotions, feelings, intuition, and memory. It heals emotional wounds and allows movement and flow to return where energy has become stuck and stagnant. It holds memory. It carries stories of people, the land, and holds the memory of everything that it touches. Water is receptive — meaning it can be programmed to support us in our intentions. This can be done through spoken word, prayer, sound, and intention. Water dissolves the walls we build around our suffering. It makes room for forgiveness, understanding, and the return of inner peace.
Why It Is Important To Work With Water Right Now
North Node in Pisces: A Collective Call to Feel
In September 2024, the North Node shifted into Pisces, ushering the entire collective into a spiritual curriculum centered around compassion, intuition, forgiveness, surrender, and emotional sensitivity. Pisces asks us to feel what we’ve been avoiding and to let the heart lead where logic can’t. Pisces energy tests our faith and demands a form of surrender that involves flowing with the spiritual currents rather than clinging to control. The North Node governs our collective destiny and highlights the energy that we all are being asked to embody during a cycle. With the North Node here in Pisces, our collective destiny involves dissolving rigid identities, healing emotional wounds, and learning to trust the unseen. Pisces is a water sign. We tap into this energy the most through connecting with water both literally and figuratively. Working with water during this transit supports us in softening, receiving, and aligning with our soul’s path, rather than forcing outcomes through control.
The Grand Water Trine: A Cosmic Baptism For Deep Healing and Release
Since the beginning of the North Node’s transit through Pisces, we have been periodically supported by a rare and powerful Grand Water Trine. A Water Trine is a fortunate astrological alignment that involves harmonious connections between planets moving through water signs; Pisces, Cancer, and Scorpio. This configuration acts like a cosmic baptism, making emotional healing more accessible, intuitive insights more potent, and spiritual cleansing more immediate. It creates a flow state between past, present, and future, allowing old trauma to surface so it can finally be released. This trine amplifies synchronicity, heightened intuition, prophetic dreams, ancestral messages, and emotional breakthroughs. It’s an invitation to let the waters wash over every part of your life that has been waiting to be purified.
Neptune + Saturn Direct at final degrees of Pisces: The End of An Era
Pisces is the final sign of the entire zodiac. As planets move through this sign, especially through the final degrees of the sign, it signals a profound ending to a major cycle both collectively and personally for each of us. In the month of December, we have both of the planets Neptune and Saturn stationing direct at the final degrees of Pisces. As they do so, we are witnessing the closing chapter of a 30-year spiritual cycle. Saturn brings karmic lessons, structure, and accountability; Neptune brings dissolution, intuition, and divine truth. Together, they have been reshaping our spiritual foundations, emotional boundaries, and relationship to illusion and clarity. Their direct motion at the end of Pisces signals a collective moment of reckoning—what needs to end, what needs to be forgiven, and what needs to be released. It’s a dissolving of the old world before a new spiritual era begins. Working with water during this transit helps us gently let go of outdated identities, illusions, and emotional attachments so we can step into the next chapter with clarity.
Ways To Work With Water
Crying As An Emotional Release
Crying is a powerful way to work with the water in your own body. To cry is to allow yourself an emotional release of all that you have been carrying; known and unknown. Right now, it can be a deeply rewarding practice to sit in the emotions of all that has transpired over the past year as well as the past decade. Saturn and Neptune are culminating a huge cycle and preparing to initiate a new one. This can bring up tremendous grief as we mourn the end in preparation for the beginning. Allow yourself to feel and cry and journal about what comes up.
Spiritual Bath To Cleanse, Dissolve, Or Infuse Energy Into Your Field
Spiritual baths are one of the most intimate and powerful ways to work with the energy of water. Water is inherently receptive. It absorbs intention, memory, vibration, and emotion. When we step into a spiritual bath, we enter a living vessel that reflects and responds to our inner state. With the addition of herbs, salts, prayers, and focused intention, the water becomes a conductor for cleansing, healing, and energetic rebalancing. As we soak, we release what no longer serves us and invite in frequencies aligned with clarity, protection, and renewal. Spiritual bathing is both ancient and deeply personal.
A simple guide for taking a spiritual cleansing bath:
Cleanse your bathtub and run your bath water.
Add cleansing herbs such as hyssop, rue, peppermint, rose, or lavender.
Light a candle and set an intention over your water.
Meditate and visualize the water cleansing and dissolving energy that no longer serves you.
For a deeper release, you may wish to listen to a guided meditation to support your process.
Mindful Shower To Wash Away Negative Energy
A mindful shower is a simple yet profound way to work with the power of water. Unlike a bath, where we immerse ourselves in stillness, the shower offers a dynamic flow. The water cascades over the body like a moving cleanse. In this ritual, the stream becomes a channel that washes away heaviness, tension, and stagnant energy. When you step into the shower, hold the intention of each droplet as a messenger, carrying your worries, stress, fears, and energetic blockages down the drain and restoring clarity to your mind and spirit.
Water rituals
Water rituals offer a powerful way to connect with the water element and harness its receptive, transformative nature. Water listens, remembers, and carries intention, making it an ideal medium for healing, manifestation, and emotional clarity. Collecting ocean or rain water, using spiritual mists like the T I L L △ Sleep Mist, or dissolving intentions into a bowl of water are all ways to let your prayers mingle with the elements. You can write an intention and place a glass of water on top of it, then drink the charged water to internalize the message. You can sing to your bath water or whisper blessings into your drinking water before sipping. Each ritual reminds us that water is a living ally, capable of absorbing vibration, holding memory, and returning our intentions back to us in renewed form.
Freezer Ritual — working with water to pause, preserve, and transform energy
A freezer ritual uses water’s incredible ability to hold and record intention, then pauses that energy in ice. Think of it like putting a moment on hold to be released later. While a bath or shower invites movement and flow, freezing asks you to slow time: to set an intention, crystallize it, and let the frozen form hold your petition, grief, boundary, or protection. When the ice melts later (or when you break it), the stored energy is activated and returned to the living world, carrying your intention with it.
Simple step-by-step freezer ritual
Select your intention
Gather your supplies - a ziplock bag or freezer-safe container
On a piece of paper write what you wish to put on hold. Be very intentional with this step. ONLY write what you want to pause. DO NOT write what you want to attract or experience. Example: Depression, Emotional Stagnation, Debt, John Doe's Gossip. The draw an "X" over each item.
Fold the paper away from you to symbolize this energy leaving your life.
Put the paper in the ziplock bag or freezer safe container.
Submerge the paper in water and seal the container.
Put the container in a safe area in your freezer where it will not be disturbed.
Once it is in the freezer, you can forget about it. Allow the water to work its magic. Over time, you will begin to notice the energy leaving your life.
Conclusion & Resources
In conclusion, the final month of 2025 offers a rare and sacred opportunity to align with the healing, intuitive, and transformative power of water. Cosmic forces are inviting us to feel deeply, release old patterns, cleanse emotional residue, and reconnect with our spiritual essence. Water, whether through tears, showers, baths, ocean rituals, rainwater, or intentional drinking, becomes the bridge between the seen and unseen, helping us dissolve what has weighed us down and making space for renewal.
As we move through this powerful water cycle, remember: healing doesn’t have to be complicated. A glass of charged water, a mindful shower, a spiritual bath, or a simple moment of crying can shift your entire internal landscape. Trust that water knows what to do. Let it hold you, cleanse you, and carry your intentions into the future that’s already forming.
