Astrological Insights for 2025
In 2025, several major astrological transits could influence your perception of yourself, the world around you, societal structures, and your passions. The Year of the Hermit marks an introspective era amongst us, calling you inward to redefine the structures you always knew to be true. Are you ready to reconstruct the foundations of your being?
Pluto in Aquarius (Nov. 19th, 2024-Current)
Pluto has entered Aquarius after spending the last sixteen years in the sign of Capricorn. This transit will last for quite awhile, until March of 2043. This transition could manifest as innovative shifts in technology, societal structures, and our society. Aquarius is a sign known to be inventive, forward-thinking, and humanitarian. This suggests that societal shifts will likely take a more progressive and inclusive tone from this point on. You may find yourself questioning the structures of society and how it could be better, or leaning towards fostering community and discovering where you feel most understood.
Saturn in Aries (May 24th-Sept. 1st)
Saturn enters Aries, pushing you to take the initiative and forge a new path that better fits your most authentic desires. You may find yourself feeling encouraged or motivated to face goals that have been long procrastinated with a more optimistic lens. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself feeling more energetic and driven to start new projects. Remember, Saturn is the Father of the zodiac and feels most harmonious in environments with discipline and structure. Be careful not to embark on impulsive journeys influenced by this fiery Aries energy, and lean into planning so you get all these new projects done!
Neptune in Pisces (Current)
Neptune will continue its journey through Pisces this year. Neptune is at home in the sign of Pisces, bringing in an idealistic, spiritual, and intuitive energy to the forefront. This is a great time to lean into the watery lessons of Pisces by exploring opportunities for spiritual growth, strengthening your intuition, and deepening your artistic practices. Pisces can become consumed by their dreamscape and may find themselves distancing themselves from reality. Be mindful not to fall into habits of escapism and remember to continue practicing discernment as you potentially travel through rabbit holes this year.
Uranus in Taurus (Current)
Uranus continues its journey in the dependable sign of Taurus throughout the year. This transit is inviting opportunities to deconstruct the traditional perceptions of finances, tangible resources, and values. This time pushes you to rethink your connections to what makes you feel most secure, personal finances, and how you are in a relationship with your environment. It’s time to update the way you navigate earthly pleasures and think outside the box.
Jupiter's Transits:
While Jupiter remains in Taurus, there’s an emphasis on what allows you to feel stable, what resources are available to you, and how to expand on these things. Once Jupiter transitions into Gemini, this energy shifts to a focus on the abundance of knowledge you can obtain, how you can further communicate for more ease, and invite a more flexible approach to your desires.
Eclipses of 2025:
The eclipses in 2025 will occur in Virgo, Aries, and Pisces; highlighting themes around your relationship with abundance, fine details, and drive. Reflect on how the smallest of habits impact you overall, ways to hold yourself accountable as an authority in your life, and how you can lean into manifestation and inner growth throughout creative pursuits.
- Lunar Eclipse in Virgo: March 14, 2025
- Solar Eclipse in Aries: March 29, 2025
- Lunar Eclipse in Pisces: September 7th, 2025
- Solar Eclipse in Virgo: September 21, 2025
Each of these transits is an opportunity to release habits and ideals that no longer align with you, and invite in a new beginning that feels more connected to the unique individual you are. These eclipses encourage you on your transformative journey and implore you to look at your life from a new perspective. How can you best support yourself? What would you like to achieve, and how? How do you honor your dreams? By understanding these influences, you can better navigate the complexities of 2025, while embracing its challenges and gifts. Whether these transits show up in your chart significantly or subtly, being aware of these transits helps you maneuver these energies with less resistance.
Capricorn Season: Foundation Building
You’ll be experiencing the energy of the ambitious and determined sign of Capricorn from December 22nd to January 19th. This Saturn-ruled sign invites you to reflect on your goals, ambitions, and the structures needed to support them. As an earth sign, Capricorn prioritizes feasibility, responsibility, and disciplined efforts. During this time, you’re encouraged to assess the boundaries you’ve set and ensure they are sturdy enough to uphold and flexible enough to adapt and grow with you.
Advice for January 2025:
Set Clear Intentions:
Hone in on Capricorn’s strengths by setting intentions and creating an organized structured plan. Start by setting clear, realistic goals for this year. Remember you are human and deserving of rest. Setting unrealistic goals can lead to burnout and feelings of shame, no goal is too small. If you’ve been wanting to take your screen time down by 5 minutes, go for it! Once you have decided on your goal(s), dedicate time to zoom in and build a detailed timeline with steps to hold yourself accountable. For example, let’s say you want to read one book a year. Try setting a goal to read at least one page a day to achieve this goal.
Embrace Transformation:
Be receptive to change with the influence of Pluto in the eccentric sign of Aquarius. This sign’s influence will likely change how you connect with community and your relationship with technology. You may feel called to change careers and communities you participate in that better align with your values as they continue to change. Change can feel scary, but remember change is an integral part of being alive. Lean into this transformative energy by being optimistic about what is to come. Aquarius in Pluto is propelling you to step into your most authentic self without shame.
Tap into Creativity:
Neptune in Pisces asks you to hold your dreams tenderly and give them the opportunity to come true. Challenge yourself to trust in your ability to make your wishes come true. Try to spend more time strengthening the roots of your creativity and take opportunities to follow artistic pursuits. Take the time to explore your subconscious or inner world through journaling or meditation. Feel free to even speak the thoughts floating through your head out loud.
Remember Balance is Key:
Once Saturn moves into Aries, it will be important to check in with yourself. The fiery sign of Aries will invite a newfound excitement and drive, but this could lead to some irrational or impulsive decisions. Remember, Saturn is a practical sign and works best when there is a strategy created to achieve a goal. Remember to find the balance between the urge for quick action, and a slower long-term approach. Be fearless, but calculated.
Practice Self-Reflection:
January is the ideal time to be introspective. The grounding energy of Capricorn is here to support you in building a strong foundation to help you achieve your goals. This Saturn-ruled sign rejoices in opportunities to look ahead and establish a plan that leads to the highest possibility of success. Take advantage of this driven energy and focus on the lessons you have learned. Think about how these lessons have added value to your life, and approach how this wisdom can help you achieve your goals this year. The wisdom exists in you, take time to sit with it and bring it forth as you envision the outcome of your year.
January 2025 is overflowing with opportunities for growth, the world is your oyster!
The possibilities are endless, and Capricorn wants to know what you want in detail! Will you answer? Start this month with intention, purpose, and a sense of grounded optimism. As you navigate this transformative time, remember to nurture both your dreams and the practical steps needed to bring them to fruition. Welcome in this year of growth, balance, and transformation by celebrating all the effort it took you to get to this point and look forward to all that you will achieve.
