The year 2024 wrapped up in a true Aquarian style – filled with drones and mysterious sights in the skies, rumours about underwater alien life, and the odd celebration of Luigi Mangione, a romanticised killer supposedly fighting for a noble collective cause. As we step into 2025, the cultural and political stage feels surreal. Pluto has only just started its journey through Aquarius, the most unconventional of the air signs, bringing shocks that blend humanity and technology in unprecedented ways.
2025 – A Year to Find Your Mission
This is the year to discover your purpose. While no one’s suggesting drastic measures like taking out CEOs, the focus is on standing up for the underdog and using individual strengths to make a collective difference. Aries and Pisces are in the spotlight, symbolising the spiritual and the physical. Imagination and reality blur together, creating a time when manifestations happen faster than ever. With the outer planets moving into new signs, it’s a paradoxical era of endings and beginnings, merging the intangible with the concrete.
We kick off the year with a touch of hesitation, thanks to Mars retrograding in Cancer until February. March sees Venus retrograde in Aries, stirring up romantic issues like a never-ending game of relationship Jenga. Some might face a solo spring, but shedding emotional baggage sets the stage for true independence in 2025.
Neptune and Saturn in Aries – A Shift in Leadership
In spring, Neptune and Saturn move into bold Aries, ushering in a fresh wave of leadership. Neptune, the planet of creativity and confusion, has spent 13 years in Pisces, where we embraced the mystic, inclusive ideals of the spiritual seer. But Neptune’s time in Pisces also blurred realities, fed misinformation, and made escapism all too appealing. Culture became a loop of recycled nostalgia, with glittering illusions outshining hard truths.
On 30 March, Neptune shifts into Aries for the first time since the 1800s. This signals a new cultural era, one driven by action and purpose. Gone is the Piscean passivity; Aries inspires us to take charge. Historically tied to revolutionary causes and spiritual missions, Neptune in Aries encourages creative innovation while connecting us to deeper psychic insights. We’ll idealise trailblazers, heroes, and bold action, with trends celebrating athleticism, courage, and youthful energy.
Saturn follows suit on 24 May, grounding this fiery energy by teaching responsibility. Saturn in Aries encourages us to commit to our creative goals while curbing impulsiveness and selfishness. Together, these planetary influences focus on self-discovery, autonomy, and turning dreams into action.
Eclipses and Nodes – A Time for Healing and Closure
The North Node moves from Aries to Pisces on 11 January, inviting us to tap into intuition and imagination while releasing Virgo’s tendencies for self-criticism and perfectionism. The eclipses of 2025 occur on the Virgo-Pisces axis, blending the physical with the spiritual and guiding us towards a higher connection to the divine. This is a year for trusting the process and pairing dreaming with doing.
Jupiter in Cancer – A Focus on Home and Heart
On 9 June, Jupiter shifts from Gemini to Cancer, bringing its luck and wisdom to matters of the heart and home. This is a great time to build stability, explore family history, and understand how our roots shape us. Expect themes of compassion, emotional depth, and potential reforms in areas like housing and women’s rights.
Uranus in Gemini – Revolutionary Ideas
Since 2018, Uranus has been shaking up Taurus, challenging our financial systems and sparking debates about bodily autonomy. On 7 July, Uranus enters Gemini, igniting rapid innovation and thought revolutions. Expect breakthroughs in technology, especially in transportation – think air taxis or ultra-fast flights. The emphasis will be on freedom of information and fighting censorship, creating a dynamic but polarising global atmosphere.
Pluto in Aquarius – The Rise of the Unpredictable
Pluto’s transit through Aquarius continues to transform how we use technology, offering both opportunities and challenges. Quantum advancements will blur the line between science fiction and reality. Hidden technologies may emerge, alongside debates about AI and surveillance. Yet Pluto’s Aquarian energy also empowers those on society’s margins, paving the way for unexpected leaders and unconventional ideas.
The Grand Finale
2025 marks the end of the predictable and the beginning of a bold new chapter. With celestial forces reshaping our world, this year encourages us to dream big, take action, and embrace both independence and collective purpose. It’s time to step into the unknown with courage and conviction.
