Introduction Summary
The main theme of the year will be patience and adaptation, as many of us will feel that anticipated changes are approaching, but they are not yet fully within reach.
The year 2025 brings several interesting, though brief, glimpses of slow-moving planets into various signs. These transitional moments allow us to slightly draw back the curtain and peek into the future before some planets retrograde and return to their previous positions.
Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, particularly in the second half of the year, will temporarily move into new signs, offering a brief glimpse of possible future transformations or their first hints and beginnings. For example, Uranus’s short autumnal stay in Gemini will hint at future innovations and rapid communication, while Neptune and Saturn will briefly enter Aries before returning to Pisces, marking the end of old chapters or bringing new impulses.
The energy of Mars and Venus will be tense and slowly building at the beginning of the year. In the second half of the year, their movement will accelerate, bringing dynamism and new opportunities.
Year in Review
The year 2025 invites us to bravely embrace changes and take full advantage of opportunities, but not immediately. Some of us already know that a transformation is coming to our lives sooner or later—it’s just a matter of when. The year 2025 will keep us in suspense and test our patience.
Venus will remain in Pisces from the beginning of January until the end of April. Only from May to the end of the year will it pass through all subsequent signs up to Sagittarius. This suggests a slow start, initially marked by high expectations and tension, followed by a dynamic sequence of events in the second half of the year, similar to what Mars will experience.
Mars begins the year in dramatic and confident Leo. Due to its retrograde motion, it will take almost half the year to reach the next sign, Virgo. This means that in the first half of the year, Cancers and Leos, Capricorns and Aquarians, Aries and Tauruses, Libras and Scorpios born around the cusps of these signs will feel like dogs on a leash or horses with tightened reins. Unresolved matters will keep stalling or delaying, and something we desire will remain just out of reach.
In June, Mars enters Virgo. Virgo’s energy will calm Mars’s fiery ambitions and redirect them to detailed work, or we might finally see some plans and events begin to take shape.
In August, Mars moves into Libra. These months are better suited for advancing and completing projects or plans. Both Virgo and Libra will temper Mars’s energy, fostering a search for greater balance and diplomacy, which softens its combative nature.
At the end of September, Mars enters Scorpio, its domicile, where its energy reaches maximum intensity. Here, the floodgates will open, and circumstances that have so far been held back will finally burst forth. In October, Mars will transit through Sagittarius and, by the end of the year, complete its journey through the first decan of Capricorn. This entire trajectory tests our ability to work hard, focus on long-term goals, control emotions, and channel energy into meaningful objectives. This time brings endurance, strategic planning, and decisive action. From the dramatic start in Leo, through Virgo’s precision, Scorpio’s strength, Sagittarius’s ideals, and finally to Capricorn’s determination, watch how this planet activates your sign and how you can use it to achieve your goals.
