2025 Horoscopes: What the Planets Have in Store for Each Zodiac Sign

The end of one year and the beginning of the next is always riddled with that distinct mix of anticipation and nervous tension. You’re faced with the chance to cast your dreams onto the next 12 months while also wondering what twists and turns each season will bring. For a sense of what you can expect, it can help to look to your 2025 horoscope, which tells the story of how the planets will interact with your unique natal chart.

Every year presents at least a handful of thrilling shifts that will make for new opportunities and challenges, but 2025 is jam-packed with them. With three of the year’s four eclipses falling on the Virgo-Pisces axis, a new area of your life is about to face shake-ups and lightning bolt breakthroughs, potentially related to your everyday routine, wellness, and imagination. And society and trends are about to go through a major transformation, because Saturn, the planet of boundaries, and Neptune, the planet of illusion, leave dreamy mutable water sign Pisces behind for dynamic, impulsive cardinal fire sign Aries, where they’ll ultimately spend years bringing a more action-oriented—and, at times, combative—tone to how we deal with rules and regulations and distinguish between reality and fantasy. Uranus, which oversees innovation and revolution, leaves slow, steady fixed earth sign Taurus for buzzy, curious mutable air sign Gemini, and Jupiter, the planet of fortune, will enter cardinal water sign Cancer, putting more emphasis on your inner emotional life, family, and taking the initiative, especially in matters of the heart. That said, no matter what you’re hoping to manifest in the year ahead, what better way to get an idea of how you might be best supported than by looking to the sky?

As you read on for your 2025 forecast, be sure to read your rising sign (which you can learn from your natal chart or by using an online calculator) and your sun.

Aries

If you’ve been itching for change in your life, buckle up, because you’re about to get your wish thanks to big picture planetary shifts that are hitting your chart head-on in 2025. To begin, Neptune, which tends to cloud rational thought, will be in your sign and first house of self from March 30 to October 22 where it’ll kick off a lengthy journey for you in which you’ll be honing your intuition, imagination, and spirituality. You may also seriously contemplate new ways to care for your overall well-being and to take the reins on how you’re perceived by others, because from May 24 to September 1, Saturn, the taskmaster planet, will be in your first house, too. It also bears noting that since 2023, you’ve been moving through a particular narrative related to your sense of self and one-on-one bonds as a result of the eclipse series in your sign and your seventh house of partnership. That storyline reaches its natural conclusion around March 29 when the final eclipse in that series—a solar eclipse and new moon—occurs in your sign. The more open to massive change, especially within your relationships (including the one you have with yourself), the easier this transitional moment will feel.

Taurus

When your ruling planet, social Venus, goes retrograde for the first time since 2023, you’ll want to be sure to take extra time to nurture your psychological well-being as well as reassess the groups and teams you pour your energy into, because the planet of relationships will be moving backward in your twelfth house of spirituality and eleventh house of friendships from March 1 to April 12. And your mind will be on your money in a major way in 2025 as a result of revolutionary Uranus, the planet of rebellion and sudden change, leaving your sign and moving through your second house of income from July 7 to November 7. Since it’s been in your first house of self since 2018, this transit, which will ultimately span seven years, is bound to host eye-opening shifts and shakeups related to your values, self-worth, and how you earn a living. Uranus also inspires the desire to strike out on your own and feel a greater sense of freedom, so you might be tinkering with the idea of becoming an entrepreneur, freelancing, or leveraging technology more in your work. Tech, learning new skills, and connecting more with friends and colleagues is also a theme emphasized by Jupiter, the planet of luck, spending about a year in your third house of communication starting on June 9.

Gemini

2025 marks the start of a whole new chapter for you, signaling massive changes around how you present yourself in the world and embrace self-expression, because Uranus, the planet of revolution and sudden change, leaves your twelfth house of spirituality where it’s been since 2018 and moves into your first house of self from July 7 to November 7. You’ll get a sense of themes you can expect to be moving through once it settles in from 2026-2033, likely revolving around changing up your personal style, passion projects, or another move tied to feeling more independent and even rebellious. You can also expect life to take some wild twists and turns this year thanks to three of the four eclipses—March 14, September 7, and September 21—falling in your fellow mutable signs, Virgo and Pisces, and activating your fourth house of home life and tenth house of career. This series kicked off on September 17, 2024, so think back to that time for a sense of the storyline that’s about to play out over the course of 2025 and 2026, likely involving work-life balance, your public image, and family-related goals. Toward the end of the year, from November 9 to 18, you might experience crossed wires with your significant other, a dear friend, or a business partner when your ruler, messenger Mercury, is retrograde in your seventh house of partnership. You can reframe this as an opportunity to gain clarity around shared goals.

Cancer

The biggest news of the year for you, Cancer, is the fact that Jupiter, the planet of fortune and abundance, will enter your sign on June 9, where it’ll remain for a year, offering a surge of optimism, exuberance, confidence and faith in yourself, and a supercharged desire to make your most ambitious goals a reality. In other words, you’re one of the luckiest signs in 2025. You can parlay this energy into hitting the gas on passion projects and prioritizing fulfilling experiences, whether that’s related to travel, refreshing your personal style, or pursuing the relationship of your dreams. This year also marks the entrance of spiritual Neptune and taskmaster Saturn into your tenth house of career, from March 30 to October 22 and May 24 to September 1 respectively. Neptune’s influence causes your imagination to run wild, conjuring new possibilities for your professional path, while Saturn is the planet of reality checks, which can help you come up with a concrete plan for achieving your vision. For a sense of the direction you could be headed in, take note of themes that pop up around March 29 when the solar eclipse and new moon—the final one in a series that’s been in play since 2023—also activates your career sector.

Leo

If you’ve been feeling restless, as though you’re on the edge of a whole new era, that’s because you absolutely are, and that’s made apparent by several major astrological events occurring in your ninth house of adventure and higher learning. For starters, March 29 marks the solar eclipse and new moon there, serving as the final word on a narrative that’s been playing out for you since 2023. You’ve likely been broadening your horizons and embracing new perspectives, world views, and skills that you can now parlay into boosting your income and shoring up your sense of security, because the other three eclipses this year—on March 14, September 7, and September 21—happen to activate your second house of income and your eighth house of intimacy and joint resources. Your sex life could also be under the microscope during these periods as you explore and assert your needs with your closest relationship. And although we tend to think of Mercury retrogrades as complete headaches that wreak havoc on communication, you’ll benefit from reframing the one that occurs this summer in your sign—from July 17 to August 11—as a chance to slow down and prioritize self-reflection, meditation, and maybe therapy, in order to foster greater confidence. In turn, you’ll feel even more centered in your sense of self.

Virgo

Your relationships with yourself and others are very much a key focus of 2025. For starters, March 14 marks a full moon and lunar eclipse in your sign and first house of self, continuing a storyline that began around September 17, 2024 and will continue to be illuminated around September 7 and September 21. You’ll be redefining your sense of self and how that is either strengthened or weakened by your closest one-on-one relationships. Being open to big-picture changes can pave the way for you to imagine and pursue thrilling shared goals along with a significant other, dear friend, or loved one. Self-reflection and reassessing your path will also be called for on several occasions. From March 1 to April 12, you’ll be dealing with both Venus and Mercury retrogrades affecting your eighth house of intimacy—and Venus also backs up into your seventh house of partnership. From July 17 to August 11, messenger Mercury will be retrograde in your twelfth house of spirituality, nudging you to prioritize meditative, restorative activities, and from November 9 to 18, it’ll move backward in your fourth house of home life, offering a chance to heal old emotional wounds. Platonic connections will also get a boost from June 9 on, for about a year, because Jupiter, which magnifies everything it comes in contact with, enters your eleventh house of networking and long-term wishes. You could be craving a greater sense of connection with a team, group, or community, and this transit is bound to make that a reality.

Libra

The last two years have brought shocking change to your relationships and your sense of self, with eclipses hitting your sign and seventh house of partnership, and those shake-ups are about to reach a fever pitch and their natural conclusion around March 29 when the final eclipse—a solar eclipse and new moon in Aries—in this series occurs. Your one-on-one connections and how you’re presenting yourself out in the world could look quite different moving forward. You’ll also have an opportunity to slow down and tend to your emotional well-being and edit your daily hustle while your ruling planet, romantic Venus, is retrograde in your seventh house of partnership and sixth house of routine from March 1 to April 12. This can come in handy not only this spring but over the course of many years, because not one but two major planets are moving into your seventh house of partnership: Neptune, the planet of spirituality, from March 30 to October 22 and Saturn, the taskmaster planet, from May 24 to September 1. You’ll be tested when it comes to distinguishing illusion from reality and the commitments you’re willing to make within your relationships. This year also marks a unique chance to voice and pursue your professional aspirations, because lucky Jupiter will move through your tenth house of career for about a year beginning on June 9. Its expansive effect means you could be broadening your horizons, doing more work-related travel, soaking up knowledge, meeting people outside of your usual circle on the job, and earning more recognition.

Scorpio

2025 may feel as though it’s off to a slow start with your co-ruler, dynamic Mars, retrograde in your ninth house of adventure and higher learning from January 6 to February 23. An urgent sense of restlessness has you feeling like you if you don’t spread your wings in some way, you might burst, but take heart that you’ll have the green light to do exactly that as the year progresses. In fact, three of the year’s four eclipses—March 14, September 7, and September 11—activate your fifth house of romance and self-expression and eleventh house of networking and groups, stoking your creativity, empowering you to own your voice, and perhaps laying the groundwork for you to join new teams, groups, or communities that support your long-term wishes. In fact, you can anticipate the start of an entirely new chapter related to how you’re caring for your health and managing your everyday hustle, because Neptune, the planet of illusion, and taskmaster Saturn dip into your sixth house of wellness and daily routine from March 30 to October 22 and May 24 to September 1 respectively. You can take advantage of two of the year’s Mercury retrogrades—from July 17 to August 11 in your tenth house of career and November 9 to 18 in your second house of income—by doing some soul searching around your values, self-worth, and what would offer you the greatest sense of security.

Sagittarius

Steel yourself for a tidal wave of change related to your work-life balance, because a brand new eclipse series that kicked off on September 17, 2024 continues this year in your fourth house of home life and tenth house of career. These supercharged lunar events, which occur on March 14, September 7, and September 21, will bring big picture changes to how you pursue professional recognition, care for your inner, emotional world, as well as craft your public image and experience your most heartfelt desires. This theme will be underlined by the fact that Jupiter, your ruling planet, will begin a new cycle on June 9, spending about a year in your eighth house of intimacy, stirring you to want an even deeper, steamier connection with someone special. And if you’ve been mulling over potential shared financial goals, you’ll have 12 months to pour more energy into those aspirations. 2025 also features planetary shifts that will stoke your creative juices: Neptune, the planet of imagination, and Saturn, the planet of boundaries and hard work, both spend time in your fifth house of romance and self-expression—from March 30 to October 22 and May 24 to September 1 respectively. This serves as a sneak peek of an era that’ll be in full swing for years starting in 2026, marked by a surge of spiritual growth, owning your voice, tapping into your artistic impulses, and taking pleasure and fun more seriously.

Capricorn

Your home life is serious business this year as a result of not one but two major planets entering your fourth house of home life. But first, March 29 marks a solar eclipse and a new moon there, capping off two years of game-changing lunar events that have brought significant changes to both your inner world and public life. The themes that come up around this shocking moment could clue you into the story you’ll be writing this year—and then over the next several years—while Neptune, the planet of illusion, and serious Saturn, your ruling planet, move through your fourth house from March 30 to October 22 and May 24 to September 1 respectively. Neptune could cause you to idealize family life and wear rose-colored glasses when it comes to spiritual and emotional experiences, while Saturn, your ruling planet, provides reality checks and requires that you put your nose to the grindstone to build your family life of your dreams.

Then, Jupiter, the planet of fortune, abundance, and expansion, will be in your seventh house of partnership from June 9 on, for about a year, which is a boon for your bonds. This transit might initially have you feeling like you just want more time with a significant other, dear friend, loved one, or business partner, or, if you’re single, you’re determined to partner up. As it continues, you could enjoy a bolstered focus on these relationships and opportunities to revel in one-on-one connection.

Aquarius

2025 throws a spotlight on your income and intimate bonds, thanks to shocking eclipses impacting your second house of income and eighth house of intimacy on March 14, September 7, and September 21. You’ll be grappling with what you need to feel more secure and fulfilled when it comes to moneymaking and nurturing your closest relationships. Letting go of outdated narratives you’ve been telling yourself for years can make room for you to build something new and enjoy growth and rewards. You could also find you’re inspired to express yourself in a new way and prioritize learning experiences, perhaps related to spiritual or meditative practices, as mystical Neptune occupies your third house of communication from March 30 to October 22. Taskmaster Saturn, one of your co-rulers, lands there, as well, from May 24 to September 1, urging you to think on the fly and hone practical skills. You could also feel like the tide is turning when it comes to infusing your life with more fun, pleasure, romance, and creativity, because Uranus, your other co-ruler, will change signs for the first time since 2018, landing in your fifth house of romance and self-expression. You’re already known for marching to the beat of your own drum, but that’ll be even more apparent now as you can more readily tap into your most innovative and artistic impulses and even more fervently follow your heart.

Pisces

Since 2011, Neptune, the planet of illusion and dreams, and one of your co-rulers, has been in your sign, amplifying your already intense empathy and making it possible for you to be even more in tune with your intuition. But this year, it’ll shift into your second house of income, where it’ll take up residence from 2026-2039, spurring spiritual growth around your values, self-worth, and moneymaking endeavors. You’ll also need to watch out for overidealizing earning, savings, and investment opportunities. Thankfully, Saturn, the planet of hard work and commitment, will be there as well from May 24 to September 1 (and then again from 2026 to 2028), encouraging you to get real about the work it’ll take to get the results you’ve been envisioning. 2025 also marks a major year of transformation for your sense of self and one-on-one bonds with three of the four game-changing eclipses — on March 14, September 7, and September 21 — activating your first house of self and your seventh house of partnership. How you project yourself in the world as well as how you’re showing up within your connections to a significant other, close friend, or business partner could be truly transformed as these lunar events present stunning shifts. Luckily, you can move through whatever emotions come up by tuning into and exploring your artistic impulses once expansive Jupiter is in your fifth house of romance and self-expression beginning June 9 for about a year, offering up more fun, spontaneity, and creativity.
