The astrology of 2025 has some game-changing planetary shifts in store, so everyone should be ready to work with some brand-new energy. Almost every planet will ingress into new signs this year, lighting up areas of the zodiac that some haven't seen in many decades. There's excitement in store for all, but the zodiac signs who will have the best year in 2025 can look forward to even more of it.
Things kick off with the North and South Nodes of the moon shifting into Pisces and Virgo on January 11, crystallizing the new eclipse cycle that's taking place in these signs and dominating in the year ahead. It's time to let go of our collective need to control the little details and embrace a more spiritual and emotional mindset, and the eclipses in March and September will push us further along on that quest.
The slower-moving outer planets tend to set the tone for each year (or in some cases, entire generations). And in the case of 2025, there's a lot going down. Numinous Neptune enters Aries on March 30, ending its nearly 15-year stint in its home sign of Pisces -- until it briefly retrogrades back into the water sign for the last time on Oct. 22. Karma-wielding Saturn follows suit on May 24, giving us a taste of its more authoritative energy in Aries until it retrogrades back into Pisces for one last visit on September 1.
After a year in curious and quick-thinking Gemini, abundant Jupiter dives into sensitive Cancer on June 9, building a deeper capacity for compassion, familial connections, and care through the second half of the year. But some Gemini energy returns a month later on June 7, as wild-child Uranus ingresses into this mutable air sign after being in Taurus since 2018. Look forward to exploring a fresh and innovative twist to the way we collectively communicate over the next 12 years.
If your sun sign, moon sign, or rising sign falls into any of the following zones of the zodiac, then trust that 2025 will certainly be a year worth celebrating.
The year begins with your cosmic ruler Mars in the middle of an energy-draining retrograde, but motivation picks up in a big way once Aries season starts in March. You'll begin to feel a lot more clarity in both your mind and your heart thanks to a back-to-back series of auspicious cazimis in your sign involving love planet Venus, communicative Mercury, and the sparkling sun itself. New storylines are emerging now, in relationships and beyond.
On March 29, a powerful solar eclipse lights up your sign for that last time until 2032. The North Node of Destiny has spent the past year and a half in Aries, pushing everyone to connect with their greater purpose with each eclipse. But as of January, the North Node has left your sign behind -- meaning that this lunation is a time to put your evolution to the test and start walking the walk instead of talking the talk.
Spring gets even thrilling once intuitive Neptune enters your sign on March 30. This hazy and illusive planet hasn't been in Aries since 1875, so this is the start of a very exciting new spiritual journey, and you'll likely begin feeling more in touch with your mystical side. On May 24, responsibility planet Saturn also enters your sign for the first time in nearly three decades. Saturn's presence can be restrictive, but it also pushes you to develop your leadership skills, get confident in your sense of authority, and step up your game when it comes to handling your business.
The year ends with your motivating cosmic ruler Mars lighting up your career zone with energy and passion. It'll be traveling through ambitious Capricorn -- its sign of exaltation -- so now's a time to chance your professional goals. Mental planet Mercury will harmonize with tender Chiron in your sign during the final week of the year as well, giving you a chance to wrap up 2025 with some cathartic conversations and healing thoughts.
You're entering 2025 on a high of good vibes -- as abundant planet Jupiter has been gracing your sign since May of 2024, bringing all sorts of fortuitous blessings and massive opportunities for growth. This lucky streak continues through the first half of 2025, as Jupiter remains in your sign until June 9. Some sweet trines from both the sun and your ruling planet Mercury in late January and early February will highlight your Midas touch as you enjoy the latter half of this transit.
Gemini season will be especially fun, as your clever ruler Mercury will enter your sign just a few days after the sun does, making it a very social month. These chatty and creatively-stimulating vibes peak on May 29, when the two planets meet for a Mercury cazimi. New ideas are bubbling up now and it'll be easy to make new connections.
An electrifying shift takes place on July 7, as unpredictable planet Uranus enters your sign for the first time since 1949. Eccentric Uranus is the planet that rules innovation, unexpected change, and sudden flashes of genius, and it's here to have you expand your comfort zone and do things differently.
You'll really feel Uranus' lightning bolts of excitement throughout August and September, as this cosmic wild-child will be lighting up the skies in a series of Grand Air Trines involving go-getter Mars, transformational Pluto, and your cosmic ruler Mercury. Inspiration is flowing during these months, and you'll have the power to act on your most thrilling new ideas. Take advantage of your energy and determination.
Action-oriented planet Mars may be retrograding in your sign during the beginning of 2025, but you have so much to look forward to this year that it won't matter. Mars retrograde wraps up on February 23, giving you a burst of motivation to chase your goals. This passionate planet will remain in your sign for the next couple months, so spring is a great time to pursue higher aspirations and take initiative toward your desires.
Prepare for a summer full of magic, because once good-luck planet Jupiter dives into your sign on June 9, you're about to get one of the biggest cosmic glow-ups in a decade. Throughout the summer, both the sun and love planet Venus will join forces with Jupiter in your sign, infusing your life with auspicious energy, bigger opportunities, and an abundance of romance. This transit will last through the rest of the year, so enjoy having the cosmic Midas touch.
A high point in the summer comes during the new moon in your sign on June 25. It's one of the most beautiful lunations of the year, perfect for setting sweet intentions and dreaming big. The moon will be fully aligned with the Jupiter cazimi that peaks the day prior, handing you a metaphorical magic wand for manifesting.
Once autumn rolls around, Jupiter's magic is getting activated in a big way, as this lucky planet will form a series of gorgeous Grand Water Trines with clever Mercury, serious Saturn, and go-getter Mars in late October. Now's your chance to think up some lofty long-term plans and actually make them happen. Romantic Venus and the sun will join up with Jupiter and Saturn for yet another duo of Grand Trines in November, this time giving you a chance to create relationships that are as deep as they are enjoyable.
Get ready to align with your destiny, Pisces. The year begins with the North Node of Fate entering your sign on January 11, pushing you to connect with your true purpose and step out of your comfort zone to grow. This ingress also coincides with the shifting of the eclipse cycle onto your zodiac sign's axis, so this year's eclipses are especially pivotal to your path.
Love planet Venus is in your sign for an extended stay this year thanks to its retrograde -- which is extra magical, given that Pisces is Venus' sign of exaltation. Enjoy your glow up! The first week of February is fabulously romantic, as a triple conjunction in your sign between Venus, the North Node of Destiny, and your dreamy cosmic ruler Neptune make love feel like a magically fated dream.
You'll feel the spiritual realignment of the North Node even more come April, as intellectual Mercury and maturity planet Saturn will connect with this now, while Venus will do the same twice more, too. You're thinking outside the box and learning meaningful lessons about life, relationships, and how to show up in the world. Embrace your evolution.
Large-scale change is on the horizon as summer approaches, as some influential planets are leaving your sign for the first time in years. Your illusive ruler Neptune ingresses out of Pisces on March 30 for the first time since 2011, so you may have to readjust your vision in order to see life clearly. However, once stern Saturn follows suit on May 24, you'll probably feel like a weight has been lifted off your shoulders. Both planets will retrograde back into your sign for one last stint later this year, but you'll get a taste of this fresh flavor through the summer and early fall. You've learned some important lessons over the last few years and developed a strong sense of intuition -- and starting this summer, you can finally start using your gifts to their full capacity.
