The astrology of 2025 is fascinating. There are lots of changes followed by regressions. One step forward becomes one step back as some planets retrograde to the sign they were in during 2024. However, the stars are allowing us to see how we need to move forward and change. We are being tested to see if we can transform in the right direction by resolving the past.

These are vital astrological dates in 2025. Firstly, there are a total of four eclipses this year. On March 14, a lunar eclipse in Virgo will make us reflect and assess what the future could hold. On March 29, desires will come out into the open with the solar eclipse in Aries. A lunar eclipse in Pisces on September 7 will make us feel romantic and a partial solar eclipse in Virgo on September 21 will mean we use our analytical skills to make sense of things.
There will also be retrogrades galore! The year starts off mid-Mars retrograde, which began on December 6, 2024 in Leo and ends on February 23 in Cancer. Our energy levels will hit a low, causing emotional outbursts, temper tantrums and exhaustion. A week later, Venus begins its planetary moonwalk in the signs Aries and Pisces, from March 1 to April 12. Emotions, confidence and romantic feelings will be ranging from high to low. Be sympathetic to yourself and others.
Oh, and we haven’t even gotten to Mercury retrograde yet. The communication planet backsteps three times this year. Look out for the period from March 15 to April 7 in Aries and Pisces, heightening our need for others. Then there’s July 18 to August 11 in Leo, where some of us will be roaring about the past in an effort to be heard and seen. And finally from November 9 to 29 in Scorpio, which will make us less communicative and more sentimental.

Several planetary shifts are happening this year. These are the changes in the cosmos to look out for, which will significantly affect the collective.
Jupiter moves through Gemini until the last days of spring. On June 9, the planet of luck and expansion enters its favorite sign, Cancer. Jupiter in Cancer not only grants us emotional maturity but gives us grace as we grow. Restrictive Saturn enters Aries on May 24, then moonwalks back into Pisces on September 1 — it’s a time to get loud and assert ourselves by not settling in any aspect of life. Rebellious Uranus switches up the terms of the revolution when it morphs into airy Gemini on July 7. However, it backs up into Taurus a few months later on November 7. Uranus in Gemini pushes us to put away the swords and instead use our Mercurial communication skills to take a stand. Dreamy Neptune swims into Aries on March 30 and re-enters Pisces on October 2. When Neptune arrives in the sign Aries, it’ll make us feel like mystical warriors and break down limiting structures.
As of January 11, the Nodes of Destiny cross the Pisces and Virgo axis. The North Node in Pisces wants us to lean into our visions, honor our intuition and mend our hearts. The South Node in Virgo lends a helping hand to the latter but wants us to stay focused on our goals and grounded in reality.
Aries
Real talk: 2025 is a complicated time for partnerships. The year starts off on an awkward foot but the momentum towards enamorment heightens in a few months. Single rams: Your heart remains undecided about what you want in matters of love until the middle of April. After that, you’ll have a full-time partner in crime to have fun with. Committed rams: The beginning of the year might fall short of your romantic expectations but as autumn approaches, you'll find that you wish to forge a deeper connection with your S.O., bringing TLC to the forefront.

Taurus
The path to creative fulfillment isn't paved with money, although it would be nice if it was. Being one of the more creative signs of the zodiac means that you have artistic integrity. 2025 gives you a chance to showcase your innate talents to the world by partnering with those who share your philosophies and ideology. The caveat is that you might find that while your star is rising, your bank account is doing the opposite. To increase your cash flow, try selling your products on an online website like Etsy where you can gain fandom and attain financial security.
Gemini
As your career hits new strides throughout the year, you will notice that some of your so-called friends are dwindling away. The people you thought were on your side are turning away from you due to their insecurities and jealousies. The excellent news is that you're aligning with a group of peers who’ll prove to be your ultimate ride-or-dies because they wholeheartedly support you and your professional success. Even though you'll miss some of your acquaintances at times, you will realize that they were holding you back from attaining personal greatness and that you deserve more from your squad.
Cancer
Don’t worry, Cancer, the cosmos totally has your back in 2025! June brings your glow-up, pushing you to elevate your status. Your can-do attitude brings you closer to your goals since you’re confident and can make your dreams a reality — which will happen on August 12 when the trifecta of your sun, Venus and Jupiter coming together ushers you to a new state of being. Try not to let anyone or anything stand in your way at this time. More importantly, never listen to the naysayers, but use their words as a catalyst to take action and to prove them wrong.

Leo
Lately it’s been hard for you to keep up with all of the radical changes that are happening in your professional landscape. 2025 is the chance for you to level up your game and prove that you're the best lion for the job. You’ll have to be more flexible when working in a group setting. Doing so requires you to listen carefully and not make decisions for everyone. By the time summer arrives, you’ll be elected as their voice during presentations; however, you should learn how to be an effective team player. You might even surprise yourself, Leo.
Virgo
What’s love got to do with 2025? For you, Virgo, everything! The year ahead will involve liaisons that will pump up your heart muscle (and you’ll be more heart than brain). The nodal ingress into the Pisces and Virgo axis on January 11 and the total lunar eclipse on September 7 intensify your affection and desire for intimacy with another. Saturn asks you to set boundaries — not with others but with yourself before you get whisked away and lost in a daydream. Be careful not to fall off cloud nine when reality comes crashing in. Try to maintain practicality if you can.
Libra
You’re undergoing a spiritual transformation in the upcoming months, allowing you to connect with various parts of yourself. The personal shift you're undergoing begins in January but you won't start to feel the difference until the eclipses on March 14 and September 21. You’ll receive psychic downloads from the universe encouraging you to release past trauma by forgiving yourself at those particular moments. It might be challenging to do so at times; however, Uranus’ movement into Gemini from July 7 to November 7 helps. The less pain you hold onto, the easier it is to grow. Let the healing begin!

Scorpio
In proper Scorpio form, you’re shedding last year’s mood like a skin and evolving into a powerful scorpion (more so than ever before). 2025 allows you to utilize your intuition to guide you on the best path forward. Unlike last year, you know how you want to move forward and that defines your strengths. Doing good deeds and raising the bar via higher charitable endeavors will not only soothe your soul but also show others that you are sincere in giving back to the community in any form possible. You want everyone, including yourself, to be in a more humane place.
Sagittarius
As an explorer of life, you’re finding that your energy is best spent focusing on improving family dynamics. Jupiter’s (which is your planetary ruler) sweeping transit in Gemini ends on June 9, urging you to reinforce existing relationships. Eclipses in March and September will mean you want to spend more time with the brood and fewer hours at the office. Finding balance isn’t going to come without its setbacks and issues but you’ll do right because you have a good head on your shoulders and know what is essential in life.
Capricorn
You’re such a busy bee! Between focusing on your career, developing relationships and playing the stock market, you won’t have much time for yourself. All the more reason to spend a few moments on the weekends implementing self-care (no, this doesn’t include bed rotting). Attend a weekly stretching class that gets your blood pumping and relieves muscle tension. Or speed-walk your way through the year — zip your earbuds in and buzz away the annoyances you’re holding in. Always take a beat to recenter yourself because your body, mind and spirit detoxes stresses and brings pep to your step.

Aquarius
With Pluto boosting your sun, the year will take you through many twists and turns that bring you closer to who you are — resisting the metamorphic modifications the stars bring will only cause more bumps in the road. Bottom line: Embrace the process. Think and live out of the box. Be wild and adventurous in this exciting and glorious new chapter. Yes, there will be growing pains along the way, which is par for the course whenever Pluto is present. But you’ll put yourself back together again without attachments in a more profound and dignified manner that speaks to your essence.
Pisces
“New Rules” isn’t just a song by Dua Lipa; it's your vibe this year. Even though restrictive Saturn and illusive Neptune will move on and off your sun, the moments when you’re free from any planetary interference will prove invigorating. With your sun on the North Node of Destiny, you’re becoming the most popular zodiac in the class of ‘25. Enjoy the acknowledgment and fame you’re receiving for simply being your awesome self. Remember to color outside the lines and create your private world with those you care about that centers around your individual beliefs. To thine own self be true.
