Month of January

Aries

While on most levels moving into 2025 is about looking to the future, on the romantic front Venus and Mars, the planets of love and passion, are between them keeping the focus on the past. Until he retrogrades out of your romantic sector on 6th January, Mars is retracing his steps while as the warrior planet of the cosmos, he is urging you to fight to make the most of the doors he is holding open to the past and second chances. By retrograding back out rather than leaving by moving on, this means that once back in direct motion he will return for a do over.

While Mars won't return until April, it won't be goodbye and by then, what he began will be in safe hands. It is on 3rd January, three days before Mars leaves that Venus, the planet of love will make an early return to an adventurous part of your chart. This will see Venus return to take your heart on a nostalgic trip down love's memory lane that will end with her return to Aries in early February, while Mars is still in retrograde motion in your romantic sector.

Normally here for just 24 days, slowing ahead of a retrograde turn Venus will not only spend the next month here but will return again in March. Meanwhile, there is change afoot on the relationship front, with the lunar nodes ending their 18 month policing of a balance between your own and your relationship needs on 12th January. With the North Node leaving Aries and the South Node your relationship sector, as their continuous opposition ends this will take the pressure off you and your relationships.

By the time the Moon returns for its first visit to your romantic sector for the year from 14th January to 16th January and its first to your relationship sector for the year from 19th January to 21st January, both will be empty, making this a valuable chance to check in.

Taurus

At the same time that as you move into the New Year there is stability and continuity on the relationship front, there is also change in the air on the romantic front. For the first time in nine years, you have not only moved into the New Year with the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment and especially commitment to your relationships in your relationship sector, but she will spend much of the year here. Normally only here for three months, having returned in October Juno will leave next month, only to return in April to spend another six months here.

This will also come with a lot of support. With Mars retrograding back into your communication sector on 6th January and support from Venus, the planet of love when she returns to a social and serendipitous part of your chart on 3rd January, this not only allows you to move into the New Year with something to commit to but with ongoing support. While Mars will leave your communication sector in April, Juno will be back when Jupiter returns to begin his 12 month visit in June.

The love, communication and relationship gods will not only be working together in January but for much of the coming year. You will have a chance to check in on this and become more emotionally engaged and aware when the Moon returns for its first visit to your relationship sector for the year from 22nd January to 24th January. Meanwhile, it is on the romantic front that there is change in the air, with the South Node returning for its first visit to your romantic sector for the year on 12th January.

As well as setting the scene for a series of eclipses, for the next 18 months the South Node will be a defender of the spirit of romance. The Moon will return for its first visit to your romantic sector for the year and since the South Node's return from 17th January to 19th January.

Gemini

For the last 18 months, the South Node has been in your romantic sector, where apart from creating several eclipses, for much of that time it has been the sole defender of the spirit of romance. While the South Node will leave on 12th January and there will be no planetary activity in your romantic sector until the second half of the year, it will leave behind the support network that has sprung up around this. It was in the final 48 hours of 2024 that the South Node's friendly aspect to Pluto in an adventurous part of your chart peaked and with Venus, the planet of love there until 3rd January, with the spirit of romance and adventure strongly entwined.

With Pluto here for the next 20 years, as he holds onto the spirit of adventure it is with the spirit of romance already captured. However, while the South Node is moving on, the Moon will continue to return to your romantic sector every four weeks and when it does, it will continue to form a friendly aspect to Pluto as it moves through. When the Moon returns for its first visit to your romantic sector for the year from 19th January to 21st January, this is going to once again bring the spirit of romance and adventure together in a way that will take you back to the early days of the month.

In the meantime, at the same time that the South Node is ending its continuous presence on the romantic front, the year begins with Mercury, the planet of communication in his final days in your relationship sector. When Mercury leaves on 8th January this will end all planetary activity on the relationship front until later in the year, but with a lot of water having already passed under the bridge. Mercury had returned in early November for what is normally a 14 to 15 day chance to get the communication lines open.

Instead, a retrograde turn has kept Mercury here, while allowing him to work more closely with Mars, who will retrograde back out of your communication sector on 6th January.

Cancer

On both the romantic and relationship fronts, as you move into the New Year there is both stability and continuity, but also a sense of clarity and confidence. Because the Sun will always spend the last 10 days and the first three weeks of each year in your relationship sector, the solar spotlight is always on your relationships at this time of year. However, for the first time since 2008, you have moved into the New Year without Pluto, the planet of change and transformation and the constant need for change.

While Pluto has come and gone several times over the last two years, his 16 year visit finally ended in November. By the time the Sun returned last month even Venus and the dwarf planet Ceres had left, though with your relationship wants, needs and priorities already banked. With so much water having already passed under the bridge, this was a chance for a fresh start and especially when a New Moon on New Year's Eve brought a chance to draw a new line in the sand.

The Moon will leave your relationship sector on New Year's Eve, allowing you to begin the month emotionally and intuitively engaged and aware and ready for new beginnings. The Sun will be joined by Mercury, who moving through from 8th January to 28th January will do what as the planet of communication he does best. With the Sun leaving on 20th January, this means that when Mercury leaves, apart from the Moon's monthly visits your relationship sector will remain empty for the rest of the year.

The Moon will make the first of those visits from 27th January to 29th January. Meanwhile, you will also start the year with the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment in your romantic sector and with Venus, the planet of love returning to an adventurous part of your chart on 3rd January. The Moon will make its first visit to your romantic sector for the year from 22nd January to 24th January.

Leo

From the start, it is clear that 2025 is going to be a big year for your relationships, though with a chance to also capture the spirit of romance. It is in the latter months of each year that your romantic sector becomes active and while all planetary activity there should have ended last year, a retrograde phase has kept Mercury here, allowing this to spill into the early days of the year. It is not until he leaves on 8th January that Mercury's mission to give your heart a voice and to put heart and mind on the same page will end.

After that, apart from the Moon's monthly visit, there will be no planetary activity on the romantic front until later in the year. As well as making Mercury's final days important and a chance to make the spirit of romance a priority from the start, the Moon's return from 24th January to 26th January also needs to be captured. Meanwhile, it is a different story on the relationship front, where there is not only continuous planetary activity all month but there will be for the next two decades, thanks to Pluto's return in November.

Here now until 2044, the planet of change and transformation is going to keep the focus on your relationships. Venus, the planet of love will begin the year in your relationship sector and while she will leave on 3rd January, not before giving your heart a voice. Until she leaves later next month, the dwarf planet Ceres will continue her first deep dive into your relationship needs and priorities in four years while as is the case at this time each year, the Sun's return on 20th January will put the solar spotlight on your relationships.

The last planet to return will be Mercury, with the planet of communication returning on 28th January to get the communication lines open. The Moon will make two visits to your relationship sector this year, first from 1st January to 3rd January and again from 29th January to 31st January. Both times will be a chance to check in and become more emotionally engaged and aware but for the second time as a New Moon.

Virgo

Because the Sun will always spend the first three weeks of January in your romantic sector, the solar spotlight is always on matters of the heart and all things romantic at this time of year. However, unlike every other year since Pluto returned in 2008, without the guarantee of near year round planetary activity on the romantic front. Pluto's 16 year visit ended in November and by the end of the month your romantic sector will not only be empty, but it will stay that way until later in the year.

This makes this something that needs to be taken seriously, with no room for complacency. While the Moon will leave your romantic sector on New Year's Day, it was an alignment with the Sun on New Year's Eve that created a New Moon that has given the spirit of romance a boost from the start. Held back by a retrograde phase, from 8th January to 28th January, Mercury will work to give your heart a voice and to put heart and mind on the same page.

With the Sun leaving on 20th January, when Mercury leaves this will end all planetary activity on the romantic front until later in the year, though with the Moon coming full circle from 27th January to 29th January. In the meantime, on the relationship front things are just starting to get exciting. Moving into the New Year with Saturn and Neptune both back in direct motion in your relationship sector and with the support of the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment in your communication sector, there is reason for confidence from the start.

However, things will take an exciting turn when Venus, the planet of love returns to your relationship sector on 3rd January, for what will be the first of two visits before finally leaving on 1st May. The Moon's return for its first visit for the year from 4th January to 6th January will give you an early feel for this.

Libra

While January will be an important month on the romantic and relationship fronts, for different reasons. On the relationship front because there is change underway and on the romantic because you are at the dawn of a whole new era. While you began the year with Venus, the planet of love in your romantic sector and while she will leave on 3rd January, not to return again until early 2026, she is setting the scene for the coming year.

When Venus returned in December it wasn't just on the same day that the dwarf planet Ceres returned to begin her first deep dive into your heart's needs and priorities in four years, but they returned hand in hand. By the time you move into the New Year, Venus and Ceres have spent weeks fine tuning your heart's wants, needs and priorities. What makes this important is that it was in November that Pluto, the planet of change and transformation returned to your romantic sector and not leaving until 2044, this has created an origin story or a template for what will be a massive year for matters of the heart.

While Venus will leave on 3rd January, Ceres is here until later next month, the Sun will return on 20th January and Mercury on 28th January to give your heart a voice and to put heart and mind on the same page. The Moon will make two visits to your romantic sector this year, the first from 1st January to 3rd January and again from 29th January to 31st January. It is during the second visit that the Moon will align with the Sun to create the first New Moon of 2024.

Meanwhile, there is change on the relationship front, with the lunar nodes ending their 18 month policing of a balance between your own and your relationship needs on 12th January. With Chiron, the planet of healing having turned direct here late last month and Eris on 11th January, support from Mercury, the planet of communication until leaving your communication sector on 8th January will give words the power to lay old ghosts to rest.

Scorpio

While for now, it is business as usual on the relationship front, there are some exciting developments on the romantic front that are not only set to impact this month but for months to come. Until he turns direct in your relationship sector on 31st January, Uranus is not only quietly keeping the focus on your relationships but is more focused on the past. Since his return in 2019, Uranus has spent the second half of each year in retrograde motion, making this part of the annual pattern.

You will have a chance to check in on this and become more emotionally engaged and aware when the Moon returns for its first visit to your relationship sector for the year from 8th January to 10th January. Meanwhile, it is two events in the first week of 2025 that are going to set things alight on the romantic front. The first is Venus, the planet of love's early return to your romantic sector on 3rd January.

With the Sun not returning until later next month, this is so early that this will have consequences, in that Venus will be forced to slow down and wait, which means a retrograde turn is coming up. That won't happen until after Venus leaves on 4th February, but as she is normally only here for 24 days, it is clear that she is slowing down. This also means that Venus will return in March to spend another five weeks here.

With after 12 years Neptune leaving in March, this is the start of the most romantically charged months of 2025. Helping with that is that three days after Venus' return, Mars will retrograde back into an adventurous part of your chart on 6th January, where he will work closely with the planets in your romantic sector until leaving in April. Moving through your romantic sector from 4th January to 6th January, the Moon's first visit to your romantic sector for the year will begin during Venus' first full day and will end just as Mars is about to return to fire up a mix of nostalgia, romance, passion and adventure.

Sagittarius

On the romantic and relationship fronts there is a mix of continuity and change, but also reason for confidence. The continuity is on the relationship front, change is on the romantic front and confidence applies to both. What is making things stable and consistent on the relationship front is that you ended 2024 will Jupiter in retrograde motion in your relationship sector and you will begin 2025 with him still in retrograde motion and still surrounded by support and especially from the planets in your communication sector.

Having returned in May 2024 and not due to leave until June 2025, Jupiter is at the halfway point of this first visit in 12 years and of a journey towards relationship growth. While Venus, the planet of love will leave your communication sector on 3rd January, with Pluto here now until 2044, the Sun returning on 20th January and Mercury, the planet of communication on 28th January, support from the planets in your communication sector will continue. With Jupiter not turning direct until next month, it is business as usual on the relationship front.

However, the Moon's first visit for the year from 10th January to 12th January will be a valuable chance to check in. It is while the Moon is there, that the biggest changes will be taking place on the romantic front. While the year begins with Chiron, the planet of healing having just turned direct in your romantic sector, until she turns direct on 11th January the dwarf planet Eris, the warrior princess of the cosmos is holding the doors open to the past and second chances.

Eris will be working closely with Mars, the warrior planet of the cosmos who until retrograding back out of an adventurous part of your chart on 6th January is also holding the doors open to the past. The Moon will return for its first visit to your romantic sector for the year just before Mars leaves and until leaving on 8th January will keep a mix of nostalgia, romance, passion and adventure alive.

Capricorn

As you move into 2025, first impressions will be that it is business as usual and more of the same and while on the romantic front that is the case and reassuringly so, there are some exciting developments on the relationship front that won't take long to materialise. In your romantic sector since 2019, Uranus has been a constant force and while he will begin to transition out later in the year, not for several months. Instead, ahead of his direct turn on 31st January, Uranus is slowing down and with it, a sense of romantic nostalgia is going to deepen.

This will be especially so when the Moon returns for its first visit to your romantic sector for the year from 8th January to 10th January. Meanwhile, with no planetary activity in your relationship sector since Mars left in November, which was late in the year to still have any focus on your relationships, that is about to change. By the time Mars left he was already slowing down ahead of a retrograde turn just a few weeks later.

It is that retrograde turn that will see Mars retrograde back in for a do over on 6th January and not leaving until 18th April, he will spend over three months back here, on top of the two months that he had already spent here last year. What makes the timing significant is that it is just three days earlier that Venus, the planet of love will return on 3rd January to begin a journey through your communication sector that will mirror Mars' experience. Normally only here for 24 days, by the time Venus eventually leaves on 4th February she will be slowing down and this will also see her retrograde back in for a second time.

When Venus returns in March, Mars will still be in your relationship sector, with the planets of love and passion sharing a special bond for much of the first four months of 2025, with huge implications on the communication and relationship fronts. The Moon's first visit to your relationship sector for the year from 12th January to 14th January will help you capture this.

Aquarius

While you begin the year with a lot of focus on both romantic and relationship matters, one is about to run its course and the other is going to become even more engrained. Running its course, for now anyway, is planetary activity on the relationship front, though until leaving on 6th January Mars is not going to go quietly or without a fight. Mars begins the month just moving into an opposition with Pluto in Aquarius, which will peak on 3rd January but could see the pressure remain until he leaves three days later.

This might see the year begin with some personal and/or relationship tension, but it is just Mars fighting to get your attention. This is putting a balance between your own and your relationship needs to the test but knowing that once he leaves on 6th January your relationship sector will remain empty until he returns in April for a do over, Mars is working to leave you with a clear sense of what you want from your relationships and what they need from you. The pressure will drop once Mars leaves and throughout that time there is support from Mercury, the planet of communication and from the two planets in your communication sector.

With Mars in retrograde motion and the dwarf planet Eris in retrograde motion in your communication sector until 11th January, as the warrior prince and princess of the cosmos, they will be working together to give your relationships, the past and unsaid words a voice. Having the Moon move through your communication sector from 6th January to 8th January will help with that. It is two days later that with Mars gone, the Moon's first visit to your romantic sector for the year from 10th January to 12th January will bring a chance to turn your attention to matters of the heart.

Here, with Jupiter slowing ahead of a direct turn next month and with the doors open to the past and second chances, things are becoming more entrenched and happily so.

Pisces

Within the space of three days, things are not only set to fire up on the romantic front but stay that way for the first four months of the year and all of it from out of the blue. As you move into the New Year there is no focus on matters of the heart, as you would expect at this time of year. So much so that the Full Moon in your romantic sector on 14th January is halfway between the Sun's last visit and the next and what is usually the least active point in any year on the romantic front.

At the same time as last year Venus, the planet of love didn't return to Pisces until March, she should still be several months away. Yet while the year begins with the status quo, all that is about to change and all in the space of just 76 hours. It begins with Venus' early return to Pisces on 3rd January, something that will have consequences down the line.

Returning this far head of the Sun Venus will be forced to slow down, spending a full month in Pisces rather than the normal 24 days and even then, after leaving next month she will return in March to spend another five weeks here. It is three days later that two months after leaving, Mars will retrograde back into your romantic sector on 6th January. This is the same thing Venus will do and as Mars is back until 18th April, they will be working as a team for much of that time.

Just having the planets of love and passion spend a few weeks working in tandem would be a game changer, but this will continue for months. You will get an early read on this when the Moon returns for its first visit to your romantic sector for the year from 12th January to 14th January. It is while the Moon is here that on 12th January the South Node will return to your relationship sector and the North Node to Pisces, beginning what will be an 18 month policing of a balance between your own and your relationship needs as well as a series of eclipses.

This makes the Moon's return to your relationship sector from 17th January to 19th January a valuable chance to check in.
