Aries is set for an incoming reality check, according to astrologers. Starting on February 4, 2025, lover Venus enters their sign. The Aries Venus transit will at first appear uplifting, validating, and deepening their self-love. Others are drawn to their magnetic aura. There are plentiful blessings. However, the cosmos has more up its sleeve! The tension gradually begins to build.

Then, on March 2, Venus stations retrograde in Aries. The planet of relationships, diplomacy, and love seeks to repair harmony in circumstances, or connections once left in a sour place, whether in the recent or far-reaching past. Big emotions come up. This Ram must let down their walls. Their hurt feelings require working through.

Desires re-emerge, reminding Aries that they are only human and capable of vulnerable longings beyond their control. Aries will learn to validate their emotional needs, which their courageous, strong, bold pride sometimes prevents them from recognizing. Doing so improves their self-esteem, relationships, and sense of inner peace. While the journey may have rocky moments, it will reveal grounding, healing truths about who brings out the best in them and why.

Cancer has been undergoing a tense transit in January. Its impacts last until February 23, 2025. Mars, the warrior planet of angst, aggression, and self-advocacy, is retrograde in their sign. It is a backward trek through Cancer, and this Water sign is processing where they need to practice intentional conflict repair.

When it comes to burnout, they may feel the heaviness of hitting their limit. It's okay to do less and prioritize maintaining what has already been started instead of forcing initiative, ambition, and new ventures. Their reality check humbles them because they cannot be everything to everyone. Further, without crashing, they cannot demand more of themselves than what their limited energy allows.

This January, the South Node entered Virgo. This karmic point in transit is associated with comfort zones we need to exit. Without trying to, Virgo has hit a point in their life of stagnancy. To evolve, they must confront where they've been limiting themselves to a life of logistics, overthinking, or dismissing their intuitive, emotional self in the name of rationale.

Virgo will experience this transit in doses over approximately a year and a half, especially during eclipse seasons. In sum, they must recognize their inner critic and overcome self-imposed limitations. The cosmos is waking them up to how much they have hindered their potential due to insecurity or perfectionist habits.

Reaching their next milestone entails relying on others, focusing on their emotional well-being, and prioritizing mental health. Their relationships act as a source of inspiration, pulling them out of their overactive mind and into their heart. Being present becomes essential, as the universe is waking them up to what happens when they let go of their control issues and follow with faith.
