On the 3 January, Venus enters Pisces, giving us all a boost to believe in big dreams and desires. Nice! Keep up this positive energy through 6 January, when Mars moves back into Cancer, which will make us want to consider our emotions with every action we take. Two days later, Mercury enters Capricorn, giving us a practical lens to initiate change in our lives. The perfect time to start putting those new year’s resolutions into action and make those dreams become reality. 

The first full moon of the year arrives on 13 January in Cancer. Expect to feel some intense emotions and perhaps hold off on making any big decisions. It’s hard to stay grounded in this moment. Six days later, the sun moves into Aquarius, which will create a vibe of reflection. We’ll be all about turning towards our most authentic selves and making any changes we need to get there. 

By the end of the month, there will be an energetic shift of newness. On 28 January, Mercury will enter Aquarius, adding clarity and perseverance to our vision of the future. 29 January will have a double whammy with the new moon in Aquarius and the nodes entering the Pisces/Virgo axis. The New Moon will have us reaching deep into our true selves, to bring in more abundance to our lives. The North Node entering Pisces will give us a collective focus on replacing our micromanagement with faith and trust. 

Lastly, Uranus will station direct on 30 January, directing the collective to reroute our healing of self-acceptance from the reflective state to the ‘being’ state – allowing us to find our stability in our own authenticity. A big month, right? But you can handle it. Read on for your star sign’s personalised horoscope for the upcoming weeks. 

21 March to 19 April

Hmm, last month was tough, wasn’t it? You’ve been feeling a bit underappreciated. Like your wants have gone unnoticed and you’ve given up on the things you desire as a result. It’s OK to be disappointed. Try to see this as an opportunity to reflect; how can you voice your needs more effectively in 2025? How can you make sure that you’re heard and understood? Be warned: if you don’t address these feelings, resentment can build up fast. Speak your truth, Aries. 

In January, you’ll struggle a little with communication. You want to speak eloquently but also freely. You want to respond, rather than react. This is a good approach – taking time to get your thoughts ordered before you say them out loud can ensure they’re best received. When you do this, you can change certain dynamics for the better.  

Towards the end of the month, you’ll be pushed to look inwards and trust your subconscious. Stick with it and you’ll feel a sense of stability as you head into February. 

20 April to 20 May

You’ve been on a radical self-acceptance journey for the past few years, and through this process there were some things you had to let go of to be your true self. But when it comes to your circle of friends, you can’t imagine letting them go. You will be appreciating this more in January. As you should! Creating such solid relationships is a real achievement. You have people cheering you on when you’re second-guessing and even making mistakes. They’re a grounding force that you can lean on when you don’t believe in yourself. 

This month, it may be hard to keep your frustrations in check as you feel you are being challenged by some sort of authority. Stay strong and keep going. This is a test from the universe. Stick to the tools you’ve picked up over the years and you’ll see great results, especially in the world of work. 

21 May to 20 June

Your charm and grace is at 100% this month and you can totally use this to your advantage. Go for it. Take chances in January. And if you discover you need some support from other people, go ahead and ask for it. Your planet is moving into Capricorn, which will put you in the mood for some organisation and auditing (perhaps it’s time to sort out your budget for the year? Cut back on some unwise spending?). Don’t be afraid to rope in some help with this process. 

An important lesson this month is allowing people to help. You can struggle a little with being vulnerable, Gemini, and this is going to be a challenge in January. Remember, it’s OK to lean on other people. Sometimes they’ll have great advice! Allow yourself to listen and use other people’s wisdom. 

Towards the end of the month, you’ll feel a push to let go of some stuff that’s been holding you back. Perhaps a certain mindset that’s starting to limit you? Reviewing the way you think and go about life may bring up some background noise in your subconscious that holds you back from being the best version of yourself. This is the time to make a plan to heal that part of yourself. 

21 May to 20 June

A recent shake-up has made you appreciate the greater things in life – guiding you to apply a more abundant mindset instead of looking for the next issue. You’re finally seeing the error of your ways when it comes to lingering too much on harsh, negative thoughts. Now you’re ready to savour the good stuff. You may start this off by having important conversations with the ones closest to you. You want to allow vulnerability and openness to take the wheel.

But this way of being is not like a light switch that you can turn on and off… it takes some real work. Be patient with yourself and create time to relax and recover amid this process. Don’t exhaust your social or psychological battery. You have all Aquarius season and beyond to work on your psyche. Accept this positive shift but know it takes time to adjust. Feel free to lean on friends and loved ones if needed – their wisdom and advice may pleasantly surprise you. 

23 July to 22 August

Leo, you know that saying about looking a gift horse in the mouth? Keep that in mind this month. Something good is coming at you, but the way it arrives isn’t exactly how you imagined it. Don’t let this put you off. Remember what you wanted in the first place and focus on the end result, not how you got there. 

Your buzzword for January is going to be vulnerability. Tough for Leos, we know. But you can’t run and hide. The more pride you have about refusing to accept help, the harder your fall from grace will be. You’re being pushed to accept help and truly connect with people that care about you. You need to learn how to trust. Do this and your bonds will deepen and exciting opportunities will arise. A great deal, right? You’ll just need to open up a tad and admit some weakness to get it. 

23 August to 22 September

Ooooh, Virgo! Is that romance in the air? You are going into a full-on swoon mode. Don’t resist it. You’ve been taking your love life more seriously recently, and now you’re attracting exactly what you were craving. Go with it and enjoy. This will be fun. 

Alongside this, you’ll feel a nudge to sort out some routines in the new year. What’s working? What isn’t working? Where is there a lack of balance in your life? Take a look at all this and make a plan. January is the time to sort it out. 

You will notice you’re now ready to let go of aspects of whatever no longer serves you, and ready to welcome in stuff that adds to your life. Follow this urge and you’ll notice you become your best ever self… and brilliant relationships will follow as a result. 

23 September to 22 October

Brace yourself, Libra. It’s looking like your work realm will have a chaotic energy in January. Stressful, huh? Try to look for new habits and routines that can keep your ship steady in the storm. Once the rain and clouds clear, those tools will continue to serve you, so they’re well worth investing time in. 

Some tough conversations are on the cards this month. Tensions are high, especially during the full moon (13 January), and people in your life will be feeling sensitive. It’s tempting to just bury your head in the sand and avoid, avoid, avoid, but you know these chats need to happen… and sooner rather than later. Instead of skirting around the issue, prepare your case so you go into the discussion feeling totally ready. Afterwards, give yourself space to relax. You deserve it. 

23 October to 21 November

Feeling romantic, Scorpio? Single scorpions are ready to mingle this month, while those who are coupled up are feeling a drive to deepen bonds. You want to express all the love and emotions inside you. It’s like something’s just clicked and you want to stop pushing people away and instead welcome them with wide open arms. Nice, huh? 

There are some aspects of your personal philosophy that you are questioning. Some things have been happening that have shifted your world view. As a result, you’ll be keen to dig deeper into your emotional self and look into the past. Go with it, we say. You could find a new approach in this journey that will make 2025 a brilliant year. 

22 November to 21 December

Phew. You’re finally feeling some emotional stability and harmony this month. What a relief! But Sagittarius, you know how you are. You can’t stay still for too long… soon enough you’ll be digging into another issue, so you find something you can work on. Perhaps that’s what you need to look into: your tendency to run away from something steady. Stable doesn’t mean boring, Sagittarius! 

You’ll be feeling independent in January. Sure, you always are, but it’ll be ramped up this month. You want time alone with your thoughts and ideas. Take it! You’ll enjoy that solo space and after doing that, you’ll be ready to get creative. 

Rebuilding your personal foundation is going to be a big theme for you for 2025. This includes re-finding your voice and finding mature and authentic ways to express yourself. This also includes stabilising your health routines and habits (physical, mental, emotional, etc). You enjoy the chaotic energy life can bring, we get it, but stability helps us function. You will learn to appreciate it the more you practise it. 

22 December to 19 January

As the new year approaches, it is still Capricorn season (happy birthday, January Capricorns!) so you are still the focus on the beginning of the month. Here’s a big suggestion for your new year’s resolutions: learn to speak your mind. We know, we know. It feels scary. But as Mercury enters your sign in January, you’ll have lots to say. Let your ideas flow without shooting them down. 

Even in your strongest attempt of being nice and understanding, there may be some changes in the important relationships in your life. Whatever the change is, let it flow. Use this time to get reacquainted with yourself, your values and your personal stability. If you see any metaphoric loose bricks, address them and fix them.

A huge theme for you in 2025 will be learning to honour your thoughts, ideas and words more. However, in order to do that, you need to honour yourself in general – strengthen your self-worth and self-value. Pouring all that self-love onto yourself may surprise you romantically. Some quality contenders may swarm you like bees to honey as they see the light within you and that you recognise it yourself. Creative inspiration may flow easily. It’s a win-win situation to love yourself. 

20 January to 18 February

Aquarius, you’ve always been observant. And right now, you’re noticing something that could be big. You’re seeing something that other people aren’t yet catching on to. How can you jump on that opportunity? It’s tempting to get lots of people involved but this might be best as a solo project. Move quietly and trust your own ideas in this space. 

By mid-month, you’re going to spot some habits and routines you need to let go of. That can be easier said than done. Some of these habits are connected to some deep-rooted insecurities… in order to let them go, you’ll need to heal. Since your solar return is starting 20 January, a great way to do that is celebrating yourself – all of you. Instead of picking yourself apart, use that eye of detail to notice all the wonderful things about yourself. 

The quickest route to material worth and riches is self-worth. This is going to ring true more than ever for the next year and half. Let this be the motivation to not get down on yourself. Make it a habit to set time for self-appreciation. Towards the end of the month, you will notice almost instant rewards for doing so. Heal with happiness to attract more of it. 

19 February to 20 March

Look at that glow. Venus is entering your sign, where it is exalted, and you are exuding all kinds of beauty and charm. Everyone is noticing, including an ex or two. Don’t be surprised if you see a message from people who were around in the past. It’s up to you if you respond. You’ve moved on, but you might want to give these people closure. Just be sure to uphold your boundaries in the process.

You’ve been freeing your time because you are looking for something new to dive into. However, your friends and acquaintances feel that you are freeing this time for them. Although it may feel they are cramping your style, this might be a silent nudge that they need you. Find a way to be there for them too while also taking care of your own needs. Balance is not only key, it is king. As Aquarius season approaches, you may want to have more time for yourself so don’t forget to honour that as well.

There will be a big focus on you being the best version of yourself with North Node entering your sign. That may include you eventually letting go of attachments that no longer serve you. This is not a call for you to do this immediately; this is an 18-month transit, you have time. However, you should be thinking this through and taking it seriously. The new moon may give you some clarity on things you happen to not pay much attention to. This is a call from the universe to use your ingenuity to figure it all out.
