We enter 2025 influenced by the New Moon that lands in Capricorn on December 30. This signals a supercharged fresh start, ideal for resolutions and ambitious beginnings. However, the first few days of the year are tense, with Mars opposite Pluto in our skies encouraging us to handle stressors carefully.
There’s a lot of emphasis on the water element this month, too, as Venus moves into Pisces, Mars dips back into Cancer, and a Full Moon rises in this sensitive sign on January 13. Emotions and our empathic tendencies can come on strong, with a soulful, serendipitous quality in flow. Try to balance what’s practical with enchantment, dreams and illusions.
The Sun enters socially connected Aquarius January 19, and as we move closer to February it’s possible to deeply contemplate a different future. Tectonic shifts can catapult us into mind-altering spaces, so be open to bright ideas, innovation and alternatives presented – particularly between the 27–30.
Aries (March 21 – April 19)
While New Year is time for goal setting, pace yourself entering 2025, Aries. Mars retrograde amps up passions and touches home spaces. Let your intuition, inner wisdom and healing practices be nurtured throughout month, prioritising self-care and home life.
The Aquarius New Moon January 29 connects you to friends with influence, so circulate, having fun, developing knowledge of your surroundings and social network.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
It’s a potentially profound month to move closer to your dreams, connecting to friends, your community and social sphere, Taurus. You could sense you’re integral or influential among team mates and your inner circle, coming out of hiding, opening up to those closest.
Toward the end of the month you can step into prominence, ready for future success, validation and positive developments in your role.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
Devoting time, energy and money to partnerships could move you toward your goals or find you rising to prominence this month, Gemini. Consider what you’re willing to commit given two heads are usually better than one. Visibility, recognition and success are almost a guarantee, yet avoid discussing the details before January 8.
January 27-29 can be particularly poignant for understanding a different mindset, culture or global outlook.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
January is as much about your independent spirit as it is about relationships, Cancer. Take stock of what you’re achieving solo and as a collaborative effort, sensing progress around your dreams, personal development and community. The Full Moon January 13 could be a celebratory moment to share with your circle.
A retreat could be ideal toward months end, with long-term commitments on your mind.
Leo (July 23 – August 22)
Begin the year inspired around health, work and wellness, aware of the contribution made by others to your lifestyle and wellbeing. There may be power struggles and soul searching this month, with a nudge to go within to process emotional matter. Stay open to insights and wisdom, deep diving to exhume the past. An increasing focus on relationships could reveal the importance of partners, platonic or romantic.
Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
Let partners inspire you, with celebrations, a creative process or a sense of joy entering 2025. Devote yourself to significant people and your own happiness, with lots of social activity, too. Remember, not all friends can stay bosom buddies – some will be closer than others, and you may find yourself making that distinction. By January 29 lifestyle choices may be on your mind with renewed enthusiasm.
Libra (September 23 – October 22)
Family, home life or your sense of security may have undergone sweeping or subtle transformations, which can be acknowledged entering 2025, Libra. Recommit to meaningful work, and note your leadership qualities will be clear to see mid-month. Inspiration and your own happiness takes hold from January 19. Romance yourself and embrace the creative process, growing and learning into February.
Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)
It’s a favourable time to learn and grow, Scorpio. From January 6 revisit paths of personal development, your education and the bigger picture. Have fun, using your imagination, blending a motivation to explore with a creative sense of play. A shift occurs January 19, when deeply personal, psychological patterns could be touched upon. Use the remainder of the month to address your commitments, leaning into the future.
Sagittarius (November 22– December 21)
Renew enthusiasm for your position, personal security and financial commitments entering the month, confident of your valuable contribution. From January 6, working with others is important too, with ways to collaborate, bond, commit and develop trust. Honour your independent streak, following your heart and creative process, while also allowing others to play their part. Toward January 29 conversations intensify – be aware of what you’re keen to discuss.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)
The spirit of partnership can be touched on this month, Capricorn. Language, communication skills, learning and expressing your ideas may be important, so find common ground with neighbours, and enjoy navigating. Identify what – and who – brings you happiness! Balance what you’re striving for with your social side, family life and home. Multitasking is set to become easier – focus on the practicalities and your financial position towards months end.
Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)
Domestic life, your inner landscape, family and personal security can be nurtured this month, with healing, recovery and transitions underway. Step into your power, revisiting the health practice, wellness routine or job that works best for you, navigating any disruption or surprises at home. With deeply profound, even monumental shifts underway, it’s likely easier knowing exactly what you want, which you can express on January 29.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Find yourself in good company as 2025 begins, spending January socially connected, Pisces. Turn over a new leaf, aware of your friends and loved ones are. This month puts you at the heart of a team, yet also asks you to address finances, home life and your own happiness. By January 29 you could be called into a space of transformation – breathe and trust the process.
