Welcome to 2025!
Brace yourself, because if you believed 2024 was a year of transformation, you haven’t seen anything yet: This was merely a prelude to the excitement that awaits in 2025.
In numerology, 2025 is a number 9 year, symbolizing the conclusion of a cycle. In a number 9 year, everything reaches a peak or a harvest stage, allowing us to gather the fruits of our efforts and bid farewell to what no longer serves us.
This year signifies a time of closure, according to our numerology insights. However, the stars reveal that every ending is merely a precursor to fresh starts. Notably, in 2025, we will witness a significant shift as four major planets and the lunar nodes transition into new signs. Having so many planets changing signs in a single year is truly exceptional, making 2025 a year to remember!
In a celestial sequence, we see Jupiter transitioning into Cancer, Saturn entering Aries, Uranus shifting into Gemini, and Neptune making its way into Aries. The Lunar Nodes transition into Pisces and Virgo. Jupiter transitions every 12 months, making its movement predictable. However, the slower-moving planets, such as Uranus and Neptune, linger in each sign for nearly a decade, which certainly warrants attention.
In alignment with the theme of conclusions, 2025 appears poised to assist us in finalizing significant cosmic cycles that we have been engaging with for quite a while. As these planets wrap up their current paths and prepare to embark on new adventures, expect tensions to rise and situations to reach a climax.
In 2025, we will witness the enchanting dance of the cosmic lovers, Mars and Venus, both in retrograde, one after the other. We start the year with Mars in Retrograde, but soon after, Venus takes the spotlight. The Universe appears to be urging us to step back, reflect, and realign, particularly in the early months of the year. This is a time to consider where we direct our energy (Mars) and how we extend our generosity to others (Venus).
The year 2025 ushers in a fresh Eclipse cycle in the signs of Pisces and Virgo. During every Eclipse, we are invited to cultivate harmony and balance between the spiritual realm of Pisces and the practical nature of Virgo. Pisces and Virgo embody powerful feminine energies that inspire us to trust our intuition and embrace our spiritual gifts.
This year, we are treated to two spectacular Blood Moon Eclipses, one in April and the other in September. Blood Moon Eclipses represent the most intense experiences we can encounter, often heralding significant endings that resonate deeply with the energy of our number 9 year.
As we approach 2025, the significant planetary shifts suggest a transformation in momentum. This year may not reveal all the shifts and changes ahead, but we are certainly catching glimpses of what awaits us in 2026—a number 1 year in numerology, signaling a time of fresh starts and new beginnings.
Astrology for 2025
Some of the Dates That We Would Do Well to Remember:
Mars Retrograde: December 6, 2024- February 23, 2025
The year kicks off with Mars in Retrograde. Mars started its preparations for the retrograde journey in October 2024. It seems that during this period, we began to notice a decline in our energy levels and possibly a change in our motivation. Or maybe we began to sense intense emotions bubbling up inside us, yearning to be examined. Perhaps we sensed a desire to shield ourselves and fortify our defenses in certain aspects. During this period, Mars initiated the groundwork for its retrograde journey, set to officially commence on December 6, 2024. As we transition into 2025, Mars Retrograde remains a powerful force, guiding us to reassess our energy levels and motivations. We may experience intense emotions related to our home and family life, and we may observe a significant shift in our focus towards these areas. It might be the perfect moment to rethink our energy usage strategies. Mars is set to stay in retrograde until February, with its shadow phase lingering until May 2025.
Lunar Nodes Move into Virgo & Pisces: January 11, 2025
The Lunar Nodes transition into Pisces and Virgo, ushering in a fresh Eclipse cycle. The North Lunar Node is shifting into Pisces while the South Lunar Node transitions into Virgo, inviting us to embrace our intuitive, Piscean traits and align our purpose with the spiritual realm. Let us embrace compassion and recognize the undeniable connection we share with one another. As the North Node transitions into Pisces, we anticipate a surge in the pursuit of peace, love, and harmony. Anticipate an increase in creativity or a significant transformation in our spiritual journeys. Conversely, we might witness a rise in extreme religious perspectives or detrimental actions justified by faith. February 7 is set to be a significant day as the North Node aligns with Neptune, opening a powerful intuitive gateway that allows us to access higher dimensions. On April 21, we experience Saturn aligning with the North Node, guiding us to embrace our responsibilities toward our greater purpose.
Chinese Astrology: Year of the Green Wood Snake Begin: January 29, 2025
Although I wouldn’t claim to be an authority on Chinese astrology, exploring what their astrological system predicts for the upcoming year is always intriguing. The year of the snake is believed to usher in intuition, wisdom, fluidity, and transformation. The snake’s zodiac encourages us to embrace transformation, shedding old layers and staying receptive to the exciting new opportunities that await us.
Venus Retrograde: March 1- April 12, 2025
Venus begins its retrograde journey in Aries, gracefully returning to the dreamy realm of Pisces. Venus Retrograde invites us to pause and contemplate our connections, focusing on the dynamics of love we both offer and receive. Past relationship wounds might come back to the surface, or we may discover that we can finally recognize the patterns from our history that have held us back or restricted us in matters of love. This moment is truly transformative, inviting deep emotions while also bringing forth a sense of vulnerability. Venus Retrograde will infuse the early months of 2025 with a heightened intensity, following closely on the heels of Mars Retrograde. This cosmic alignment may leave us feeling trapped or even inundated by our present circumstances. As with everything, this too shall pass, and we will emerge on the other side, more enlightened and in tune with our hearts, ready to channel this energy in the direction we desire!
Blood Moon Eclipses: March 14, 2025 in Virgo & September 7, 2025 in Pisces
Blood Moon Eclipses hold immense power, often ushering in rapid and significant transformations or conclusions in our lives. With the arrival of the Full Moon, we might find ourselves letting go of something in our lives or encountering a significant ending. The energy surrounding the Eclipse can be felt as early as a month in advance and lingers for up to a month after it has passed. Reflect on the last Virgo/Pisces Eclipse cycle from 2015 to 2017; it may be insightful to revisit the themes that emerged during that period in your life. While the exact events may differ, you can expect to encounter familiar themes and valuable lessons of growth along the way.
Mercury Retrogrades
Naturally, a year would be incomplete without the influence of Mercury’s retrograde motion. In 2025, Mercury will retrograde three times:
- March 15 (9° Aries) – April 7 (29° Pisces)
- July 18 (15° Leo) – August 11 (4° Leo)
- November 9 (6° Sagittarius) to November 29 (20° Scorpio)
Every retrograde promises its familiar dose of communication breakdowns, travel holdups, and technological glitches. As Mercury retrograde begins in the fire signs, we’ll be drawn to harmonizing our daily duties with our heartfelt passions. While Mercury retrograde may bring its fair share of challenges, view these times as an opportunity to pause and reflect on what truly matters. These present fantastic chances to revisit past concepts (particularly those creative projects you’ve set aside), restructure your plans, and contemplate your communication approach. Absolutely, take the time to proofread every email. Make sure your intended message doesn’t inadvertently end up in your boss’s inbox. Got it?
Neptune in Aries: March 30, 2025
Neptune in Aries brings a bold and assertive energy, urging us to stay aware of the potential for being caught off guard by our own egos or the overconfidence of those around us. The presence of Neptune in Aries presents a fantastic opportunity to embrace our true selves and ignite a profound spiritual connection.
On March 30, Neptune transitions into Aries, but it will only stay in this sign until October 22 because of its retrograde motion. It will not make its way back to Aries until January 26, 2026. It seems the Universe is offering us a sneak peek into the essence of Neptune in Aries, set to unfold from March to October.
Neptune’s slow journey means its last passage through Aries was from 1861 to 1875, making this a truly unique and transformative energy. Embrace this rare opportunity to elevate your consciousness to new heights.
As Neptune in Pisces draws to a close, we find ourselves concluding a significant cycle that commenced in 2011. Take a moment to reflect on this period and recognize how much you’ve grown in your spirituality, creativity, and perspective on the world.
Neptune has the power to either enhance our vision with a dreamy hue or strip away illusions, revealing a fresh perspective! It has the power to craft illusions and deceptions, yet it also empowers us to shape our reality in any direction we desire.
Neptune embodies the essence of dreams, leading us to discover that the aspirations we held back in 2011 may have manifested or transformed into something entirely fresh.
Solar Eclipses: March 29, 2025 in Aries & September 21, 2025 in Virgo
March brings the final Eclipse in the Aries-Libra cycle, a journey we’ve been navigating since mid-2023. As we approach the conclusion of the Eclipse cycle, we may discover a newfound clarity that allows us to perceive the bigger picture more vividly. Solar eclipses often herald fresh starts and serve as potent moments for manifestation. During this Eclipse, your intentions can take on a powerful significance, so be sure to communicate your needs to the Universe and those around you. Share your desires with the Universe and witness the incredible transformation that follows!
Saturn in Aries: May 24, 2025

While Saturn can present challenges, it consistently offers valuable gifts and rewards for our hard work!
Jupiter in Cancer: June 9, 2025
This year, Jupiter takes center stage as it transitions from Gemini to Cancer, influencing the zodiac landscape significantly. Jupiter in Cancer invites us to shift our focus toward our home and family, drawing our attention to the comforts and dynamics of our immediate surroundings.
On June 9th, Jupiter transitions into Cancer, where it will stay until the middle of 2026. Jupiter thrives in the nurturing, emotionally rich environment of Cancer, making this celestial pairing exceptionally beneficial.
As Jupiter moves through Cancer, we might find ourselves experiencing heightened sensitivity, particularly regarding our close relationships and the fulfillment of our needs. We might discover a more profound awareness of our needs for nourishment, or we could finally begin to take meaningful steps toward caring for and nurturing ourselves on a deeper level.
Jupiter in Cancer brings a wave of positivity for anyone eager to start a family, mend familial bonds, relocate or sell a home, and cultivate more love in their lives.
When a planet transitions into a new sign, it’s crucial to reflect on the cycle that has just concluded. Since May 2024, Jupiter has been traversing Gemini, inviting you to contemplate the growth and themes that have emerged in your life.
Uranus in Gemini: July 7, 2025
Since 2018, Uranus has been journeying through the grounded and reliable sign of Taurus. Despite the challenges posed by Uranus, we have persevered and emerged stronger than ever! On July 7, Uranus will make its entrance into Gemini, ushering in a fresh wave of energy and the beginning of an exciting new cycle.
Uranus embodies transformation and enlightenment, and as it transitions through the zodiacs, we can expect to feel the vibrations of change! Uranus will stay in Gemini until November 8th; then it will retrograde back into Taurus until April 2026. This means that in 2025, we’ll get a glimpse of what this new cycle has in store for us.
Uranus in Taurus has been shaking up our foundations, putting their strength and durability to the test. On the global stage, we’ve witnessed surprising shifts in the financial sectors, agriculture, and environmental matters—all domains under the influence of Taurus.
As it transitions into Gemini, the emphasis will pivot from our foundations to our thought processes and the way we engage in communication with others. Uranus in Gemini is set to revolutionize the landscape of media and communications. It has the potential to transform our social interactions and the way we connect with one another.
Uranus will grace Gemini until 2033, offering us ample opportunity to harness this energy and embrace its rewards!
As one cycle begins and another comes to a close, now is the perfect time to reflect on your foundations. Consider how they have evolved, strengthened, and shifted since 2018, as Uranus has journeyed through Taurus. This unique moment offers a valuable opportunity for introspection and growth.
Jupiter Square Saturn & Neptune: June 15, 2025
In 2025, a significant cosmic event unfolds with the square alignment of Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune. Squares are seen as dynamic alignments that propel us into action! Squares may present challenges, yet they foster movement and guide us through tricky circumstances.
The initial months of the year are filled with sluggish, retrograde energy, but the Jupiter Square Saturn and Neptune could be the catalyst for renewed momentum. We might find ourselves motivated to broaden our narrow view and consider things from a fresh angle.
Jupiter embodies the essence of growth, amplifying the themes introduced by the Saturn-Neptune conjunction.
Saturn Neptune Conjunction: July 31, 2025
This year, the alignment of Saturn and Neptune as they both transition into Aries sets the stage for an inevitable cosmic encounter! Although their official union takes place on July 31st, they will be closely aligned for much of 2025 and extending into 2026.
Saturn and Neptune align once every 37 years, yet they have never crossed paths in Aries during our lifetime—and this unique event will not occur again! Aries embodies the spirit of new beginnings, suggesting that this Saturn-Neptune conjunction could usher in invigorating energies and fresh perspectives for us all.
Saturn embodies practicality and a grounded approach to life, while Neptune represents the desire to transcend the ordinary and seek an escape from reality! The encounter between these two is truly captivating, and with Aries in the mix, we can expect to witness daring actions and fresh concepts coming to life.
It’s fascinating to note that I was born during the last Saturn-Neptune conjunction in Capricorn. This unique planetary alignment has inspired me to transform my spiritual ideas (Neptune) into tangible reality through this website (Saturn). Saturn is grounding our experiences, making them clear and accessible, while Neptune is enriching our spiritual and creative dimensions.
One of my astrology teachers highlighted that the name of this site, Forever Conscious, embodies a fascinating duality, with Saturn symbolizing the “forever” aspect and Neptune capturing the essence of “conscious.”
