As the calendar year starts you are determined to set your intentions and stay focussed. Others may let their resolutions lapse, but you stay on track. 2025 is a big year for the Rams of the Zodiac. Three important planets shift from Pisces to Aries, marking the end of an era, for all, and particularly for Aries. This year is about new beginnings. You know all about initiation as you were born under the first Sign of the Zodiac. January sees you set your intentions for your public life – parenthood, career and office bearer roles. You set your sights on your true north. Key Dates: From March 30 the nebulous planet Neptune moves into Aries for the first time since 1861, a truly momentous shift for you personally. This planetary move heralds pioneering inroads in spiritual, chemical and mythological areas. As an Aries, you are at the forefront of discoveries in these areas. First you need to dissolve what no longer works in your life e.g. you can move into more healthy activities, maybe slowing down on hard gym work and transitioning into hikes in nature or swimming. Or perhaps you aim to have more spiritual practices. On May 25 serious Saturn moves into Aries and so your spiritual practices can be structured, forming a foundation for personal growth. Dwarf planet Ceres also moves into Aries on May 17 calling for healthy eating habits and nurturing your body and soul in ways that boost your energy. The planetary action is aplenty in Aries in 2025 and so if you have ever wanted a new you, a new image or an initiation into a new life, then this is your time.

Taureans start the year by escaping everyday duties and planning 2025 escapades. This is your month to turn off the noise of the world and read that book, join that study program, travel abroad or attend your local religious or spiritual services. If it is on your bucket list, then do it! It is time to plan a sabbatical. This is defined as a period of paid leave granted for study or travel, and traditionally granted every seven years, a period closely linked to Saturn, the planet of work. Key dates: This year Saturn moves into the quiet zone of your Solar Chart on May 25. If you are not able to take a long break, you could spend time in January planning a mid-year break. Saturn is about structure and so you need to take the time and plan the breaks. If it is not in the calendar, then it may not happen. The important planet Neptune moves into Aries on March 30 for the first time since 1861 urging you to explore areas of your life previously avoided. Memories, dreams and reflections abound. From March 30 you are likely to feel the urge to examine your subconscious fears, beliefs and motivations. Forgotten memories are likely to surface. Dreams may bring messages. Suppressed grief may surface. This is your opportunity to nurture a more spiritual approach to your life. This can be a profound year for Taurus as you gain a deeper understanding of yourself, your loved ones and the world in general.

The start of 2025 sees the birth of something or someone new for Geminis. Indecision needs to be cast aside, and action taken. It is time to take stock of your resources, financial and emotional and then move forward. Part of this process includes probing your assets, how you invest your money and decisions connected to joint finances. If you have delayed sorting out your taxes, retirement funds or debts then January is your month to catch up. Making the necessary changes at the start of the year frees you up for adventures in February and positive career opportunities in March. Key Dates: The planet Neptune moves into the friendships sector of your chart on March 30 clearing the way for connections with soul mates. Some friendships may dissolve but other profound associations begin. By May 25 you consolidate your boundaries in friendship groups. Serious Saturn gives you the impetus to end toxic connections and form stronger bonds in social circles. Midyear sees a major shift in your personal life as the planet of surprises Uranus moves into Gemini on July 7. Uranus stays in your Zodiac Sign for about seven years sparking excitement and a certain amount of chaos. This is your opportunity to embrace the quirky side of your personality. You can experiment with your social media image, trying new styles and breaking free of restrictions imposed by yourself or others. It is time for Peter Pan and Tinkerbell to sprinkle some fairy dust!

The start of 2025 is all about coupledom for Cancer. The focus for wedded crabs is on your happily ever after. Changes mean that you are now either gyrating or jousting, or perhaps a little of both. If you are not feeling it at all then it may be time for a fond farewell. Singletons, you are likely to be aware of the couples in your social circles, triggering thoughts of your own solo status. Are you happily unattached or looking for an eligible mate? January sees you make decisions and act. Key Dates: This is year’s major shift of planet Neptune into Aries on March 30 brings some confusion in your career, if you are not aligned with your true north. A job that only pays the bills but is otherwise unsatisfying may dissolve, making way for a more soul-aligned profession. Trusting your intuition and adjust to new opportunities is the key. If in doubt, stay still until the clouds lift and your vision is clear. By May 25 solid opportunities are likely to manifest, or you may be clearer on the step-by-step action needed to move forward in your career. The good news is that the lucky planet Jupiter moves into your Zodiac Sign on June 10 heralding a prosperous chapter in your life. This is your chance to broaden your horizons through study, travel, publishing, teaching or water sports. Good fortune comes through your own efforts and through gifts from others.

January is all about health and wellbeing for the lions of the Zodiac. Ideally you can take time out to lie on a beach in the sun, recharging your physical and emotional energy. Alternatively, although perhaps not as appealing, you can book your regular checkups with your doctor, dentist, naturopath, optometrist and such like. Joining a gym or yoga classes could also boost your energy. Pets and small animals also require extra attention and can bring joy. The idea is to look after your health in January so that you can enjoy an optimal year of health and welling, ready for the creative projects that are to be undertaken. Key Dates: As the year progresses the slow-moving planet Neptune enters fellow Fire Sign Aries on March 30 signalling a shift to spiritual wellbeing for Leos. You may find yourself dreaming of faraway places. You are entering an era of creativity at the highest level, channelling inspiration from higher realms. A dream journal could be helpful. If you have ever dreamed of writing, studying, travelling, teaching or publishing then this is your times. Trust your intuition. The planet of action, Mars, enters Leo on April 18, giving you a turbo charge to make sure that you act and move forward with your aspirations. Your artistic and playful side of your nature is boosted when the planet of love and pleasure, Venus moves into your Sign on August 26. This could be the blossoming of your earlier creative endeavours or a new romance.

As a Virgo you are more accustomed to fulfilling your duties rather than taking time out for fun-filled, frivolous activities. But the start of 2025 sees the planets aligned in the light-hearted sector of your Solar Chart encouraging you to temporarily shelves your logical mind and explore your playful side. It is time to have fun even if that means re-organising your food larder, starting an herb garden, or rearranging your computer files. Chess, bridge, ballet and craft are just a few suggestions for play. January is the ideal time for you to start a new hobby or indulge in a forgotten one. Key Dates: Lunar Eclipses light up Virgo on March 14 and September 9, shedding light on personal issues and providing trigger points for personal awareness. On March 30, planet Neptune, finally moves out of Pisces, your opposite sign, bringing clarify to key relationships. If a key partnership recently dissolved then the person is likely to disappear entirely from your life, perhaps making a brief re-appearance in October, but otherwise evaporating. Now Neptune moves on warning you to read carefully when it comes to joint enterprises. The boundaries are blurred when it comes to business, taxes, inheritances and investments. So, caution is advised when dealing your life savings. Your time for action is from June 17 when the feisty planet Mars enters Virgo and the September Eclipse season when a Solar Eclipse occurs in Virgo on September 22.

When everyone in your household is happy then you are too. This January you wish for nothing more than your private life to be on an even keel. And, of course, as a Libra, you are likely to be the one mediating to keep the balance. The comings and goings of home life are likely to keep you busy. If you live on your own then rearranging the furniture and/or rooms, or even a house move is likely to make for a happier home. In some ways, January marks the closing of a chapter in your personal life as the Moon’s South Node moves out of your Zodiac Sign for the first time in 18 months. Key Dates: The planet Neptune enter your opposing Sign, Aries, on March 30 presaging more spiritual interactions. Your own soul journey steps up a notch, perhaps with the dissolving of a current partnership or the arrival of a soulmate. This is a gradual, rather than an overnight, process. You can consolidate your process when Saturn also enters Aries on May 25. Contracts, both personal and business, are formed and consolidated under this influence. Pleasure and partnerships are highlighted on October 14 as the planet of love enters your Sign. First you must assert yourself and actively pursue your own goals as Mars is in Libra from August 7 till September 22.

Cars, caravans and conversation are the themes for January. It is time for capers in your local area, and connections with siblings, cousins and neighbours. If face to face meetings are not possible then the internet is the way to go. The idea is to take a personal approach to a positive mindset. Everyday concerns can be put aside before they compound into major worries. Any backlogs of paperwork, or tough conversations, need to be tackled now clearing the way for peace of mind later in 2025. Key Dates: March 30 sees the planet Neptune move into the health sector of your Solar Chart encouraging a gradual transition into positive health habits. You may be keen to implement a more spiritual approach to your workday world or adopt daily rituals that boost your wellbeing. This can be consolidated around May 25 as serious Saturn also moves into your health sector. Midyear sees the planet of surprises, Uranus, move away from your marriage sector on July 7, bringing closure to an unpredictable partnership situation, or perhaps a settling of a current relationship. Your love life is front and centre from November 7 to December 1 as the planet of love and pleasure, Venus, moves into your Zodiac Sign. The overall message of 2025 is to forge ahead with your physical, emotional, mental and spiritual growth remaining true to yourself and your own dreams rather than focussed on others.

January sees you counting your bucks, bills and blessings, weighing up whether your time is well spent and properly reimbursed. Defending your spending habits may be part of your personal audit, or perhaps a change of pace prompts a probe into personal finances. Whatever your personal scenario, January sees you focussed on worth – what is worth your time, energy and positivity. What you value is a key – possessions, people, income, simplicity, adventures and so on. Decisions made early in 2025 set the scene for later in the year as you gradually incorporate more creative activities into your life. Key Dates: March 30 sees a shift into a more artistic phase of life as you give birth to a new project, or perhaps a new child, or even a new romance. This is not an instant gratification affair but rather a slow burn. You can consolidate creative ideas as Saturn also moves into the 5th House of your Solar Chart on May 25. The aim is to incorporate more joy and artistry. Other people are full of surprises as Uranus enters Gemini, your opposite Sign, on July 7. Partnerships may do a sudden turnabout, or you may break away in search of more freedom. By the end of the year, you are full steam ahead as the planet of action, Mars, enters Sagittarius on November 5 joining Mercury. Your links with others gain momentum and you are ready to tackle anything that comes your way with your customary optimism.

The transformative planet Pluto has finally moved out of your Zodiac Sign after 16 years. Now you can integrate the lessons of the last 16 years. January sees the birth of a new you, a new image. Does your appearance and profile truly represent the changes that have occurred within? If you haven’t already done so, it is time for a personal makeover or a social media image update. The start of a new calendar year sees the start of a new era for Capricorns. Key Dates: As Neptune enters Aries on March 30 you may dream of living on distant shores or moving closer to the water. At the very least you could install a water feature in your home. A vision board with pictures of your ideal home and family situation may help you gradually manifest your dream home. Your dreams may come to fruition when your ruling planet Saturn enters Aries and the housing sector of your Solar Chart on May 25. This consolidates your dreams of a new living situation, helping you form firm foundations. June 10 sees the lucky planet Jupiter enters Cancer, your opposite Zodiac Sign beckoning good fortune through your closest associates. Partnerships, business and personal, that nourish your soul are consolidated or formed. Sales contracts, connected to home and hearth are promising. Overall, 2025 is the year for Capricorns to shore up personal foundations.

The Scouts motto Be Prepared could be your motto this January. It is time to be frugal and consolidate your resources so that you can make the most of the changes coming in 2025. You would be wise to avoid conflict in January or pick your battles and be prepared for the consequences. In battle you can fight or retreat. You may be better advised to withdraw and gather your resources. Hidden motives, yours or others, come to light. Why not indulge in a real retreat? A holiday resort, health or spa week away and such like might appeal. It is time for you to retire at the start of the year so that you are prepared for the changes to come as transformative Pluto transits Aquarius. Key Dates: Muddled issues with siblings and neighbours surface as nebulous Neptune enters Aries on March 30. You may yearn to escape on a short journey in order to gain clarity. A situation in your local area may require wading through tricky waters. A sense of humour and clear boundaries help you nurture positive connections. A creative hobby or project may also provide a welcome outlet for confused thoughts, helping you keep a positive mindset and shed light on interactions. July 7 sees the planet Uranus move into Gemini, a fellow Air Sign, sparking further insights into your local connections. 2025 can be a year of good news, new connections and creative ideas. It may be a bit of a roller coaster ride, but you are well prepared.

Social media or out in society. The choice is yours in January. Either way you need to be socialising, pursuing your hopes, dreams and wishes with like-minded people. If you must defend yourself then it is likely that you cut ties with non-supportive associates. The idea is to seek the support of people who sustain you as you enter a new chapter in your life. Two major planets exit your Zodiac Sign early this year, making only brief appearances in September and October, before leaving for another cycle around the Zodiac. This brings closure to personal development issues that have lingered, and the chance to assimilate lessons of recent years. Key Dates: The Moon’s North Node enters Pisces on January 12 heralding a date with destiny. Good things come to those who wait or so the saying goes. As the Node wends its way through your Sign people and situations create opportunities for you to fulfil your purpose. This is your chance to align with your soul purpose. Watch for the signals that you are on the right path and enjoy your journey to self-fulfilment. The planet Neptune leaves Pisces on March 30 after 13 years indicating that a curtain gradually falls across one phase of your life. Now your focus shifts slightly towards your personal values. Strong boundaries are required around personal spending as you explore what and who boosts your self-esteem and personal income. The Lord of Karma, Saturn, also leaves Pisces on May 25 ending a phase of personal development and giving you the fortitude to base your esteem on your own values.
