Looking to Buy a Vehicle this Summer?

Are you Self-Employed & in the Market for a New Vehicle?


Q. Should I buy or lease a vehicle for my business?


A. There are different factors to consider to determine if an individual should buy or lease a vehicle.

Lease vehicles – you can choose between the standard mileage rate or the actual expense method. If you choose standard mileage rate in the first year, you must use this method for the life of the lease.

If you choose actual expense method for a leased vehicle, you can deduct the business percentage of your lease payments, fuel, insurance, repairs & maintenance, and any other business costs for the vehicle.


Purchase vehicles - you can choose between the standard mileage rate or actual expense method. If you chose standard mileage rate in first year, you can choose to switch to the actual method in a later year if more favorable. The IRS increased the Mileage Rate for 2025 to 70 cents per mile.


Actual expense method – You will take depreciation of the vehicle and can take fuel, insurance, repairs & maintenance. If the vehicle is financed, you can also take the interest paid on the vehicle, but not the payments. 

For 2025, there are 3 methods of depreciating your new vehicle:

For vehicles with Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) under 6,000 lbs., in the first year you could take Section 179 depreciation on the vehicle of $12,200 plus an extra $8,000 is available for a total deduction of $20,200, with the remaining purchase price being depreciated over the next 4 years. The maximum luxury auto depreciation deductions for a passenger auto placed in service in 2025 are as follows:

•  $20,400 for year 1 if bonus depreciation is claimed ($12,400 if bonus depreciation isn’t claimed),

•  $19,800 for year 2,

•  $11,900 for year 3, and

•  $7,160 for year 4 and thereafter until the vehicle is fully depreciated


For vehicles with GVW over 6,000 lbs, you can also elect to take Section 179 expense which will permit you to take $31,300 in 2025 + 40% bonus depreciation of the remaining purchase price. The remaining would be depreciated over next 4 years (if applicable)

For vehicles over 14,000 lbs, business owners can deduct 100% of the cost of the vehicle in the year it is placed in service.


You can also elect to opt out of the accelerated depreciation, and take the standard MACRS depreciation over the 5 year useful life.

Jupiter, The Lucky Planet, Enters Cancer the Sign of Nurturing


A Favored Time to be Paying Attention to Dreams On June 9, Jupiter, the planet of growth and expansion moved into Cancer, a water sign. Cancer is ruled by the Moon the heavenly guide to dreams and dreaming. Jupiter will be in Cancer until the Fall. We are, thus, in a cosmic window of time that favors dream guidance. Jupiter’s presence in Cancer magnifies our capacity to manifest through remembering and taking to heart messages shared both in our sleeping dreams and daydreams. It also favors reaffirming a commitment to creating our lives to be blessed with what truly nurtures us.


This is an excellent time to view astrology as a trusted friend who can and will grant us access to the wisdom of the Universe. For the next ten to fifteen days (so for a couple of weeks) Jupiter will be positioned to be squaring Saturn. Saturn is the task master of the zodiac. It confronts us to walk out talk. This Jupiter Saturn energy creates an ideal time to pay attention to what your subconscious mind (as revealed in dreams) may want to tell you. A Jupiter/Saturn square is challenging energy. And if you choose to welcome their challenge mojo you may be now be poised to gain insights about subtle personal negativities (fear, uncertainty and doubt) that if mitigated may be the gateway to enhanced clarity and manifesting success. Jupiter expands luck. Jupiter’s presence in Cancer favors magnifying your capacity to heal through paying attention to dreams.

There is a song with the title, “Accentuate the Positive, Eliminate the Negative and Don’t Mess with Mr. In Between.” I am using this sentiment to “seed” my dreams. On a piece of paper I have written the title of the

song at the top of the page. I then, wrote several questions relating to expanding my clarity about my business and also a list several current goals. Additionally, I invited insights into what is holding me back by writing:


“As Jupiter flows through Cancer, may this Dreamcatcher Seed Document help me receive guidance and truth. I ask that the dreamcatcher protect my spirit, so that I may receive helpful wisdom from the Universe.”


I then folded this paper and placed it under my bed pillows. I now optimistically move forward seeking and

committed to being open and alert to receiving messages from daydreams and sleeping dreams. My astro

experiment is launched.
