Some years blend together, making them hard to differentiate. There are years it feels like nothing even happens. But some years are so chaotic, they forever sear themselves into your mind, bringing back memories that feel as fresh as something that happened yesterday. Your 2025 horoscope for each zodiac sign is proof that this year will be one of those unforgettable years, as it has the potential to be one of the most game-changing and history-making of your entire life thus far.

Even numerology supports this theory, as 2025 is considered a year of “completion and conclusion,” bringing a major cycle to an end just as it jumpstarts the engine for the next one. After all, 2+0+2+5 adds up to 9, which is a number that symbolizes new beginnings. According to Numerology.com, a 9 Universal Year lands right at the climax of something called the “push cycle,” which begins in year 8 with a steady rise of power and momentum, reaches its peak in year 9, and then launches a brand new chapter in year 1. We’re just wrapping up year 8, a time of revolutionary breakthroughs that affected both the collective and the individual. Clearly, we’re spending this year pushing away what will no longer be of use to us by 2026. It’s all part of a grand story, and we’re only halfway through.

2025 begins with us deep in the muck. Driven Mars will still continue to retrograde until February 23, entering Cancer on January 6, where it feels most emotional, defensive, and protective. This energy could have you hiding in your own shell, feeling hesitant to make a move despite the fact that you really have no choice but to get up. However, a powerful shift takes place on January 11, when the North Node of Destiny enters Pisces and the South Node of Karma enters Virgo at 29 degrees. The Universe is shifting gears, bringing our focus toward empathy, spiritual openness, and imaginative undertakings. But with innovative Uranus stationing direct in Taurus on January 30 and extravagant Jupiter stationing direct in Gemini on February 4, you can rest assured that the wheels are slowly beginning to turn. And when the North Node joins forces with dreamy and spiritual Neptune at 29 degrees of Pisces—the most climactic and chaotic degree—on February 7, it could open us all up to something entirely romantic and otherworldly.

The North Node in Pisces will bring us to the edge of a new story—one we’ve already begun writing. It all began with the lunar eclipse in Pisces on September 17, but it will continue with the total lunar eclipse in Virgo on March 14. There will be one final turning point in the eclipse story that occurred on the Aries-Libra axis from 2023 to 2024, one that will unfold around the partial solar eclipse in Aries on March 29. As you let go of the residual energy leftover from that time in your life, you will continue careening toward something new, bringing rise to surges of destiny during the total lunar eclipse in Pisces on September 7 and the partial solar eclipse in Virgo on September 21. These are the moments when profound turning points will unfold in your life, especially if you have placements in Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces.

The North Node of Destiny enters Pisces on January 11.

While that alone would be enough to make 2025 a transformative year, it’s just the beginning. Pluto in Aquarius is underway, sending us all on a 20-year-long metamorphosis that officially began in 2024. On March 30, Neptune—planet of compassion and delusion—will leave Pisces—where it has been since 2011—and enter Aries, where it was from 1861 to 1875 (the era of the American Civil War). On May 24, Saturn—planet of structure and stability—will enter Aries, bringing those born from late 1996 to early 1999 to the brink of their Saturn return (a.k.a. a cosmic rite of passage that signals true adulthood). On June 9, Jupiter will enter loving and caring Cancer, where the planet of joy and abundance happens to be “exalted.” The second half of the year will be marked by delicious energy, as it’s the only way to describe what Jupiter in Cancer feels like. But wait, that’s not all—November 7 brings Uranus—planet of revolution and sudden changes—into Gemini, where it will remain until 2033. The last time Uranus was in Gemini was 1941 to 1949, which saw the end of WWII and the beginning of the Cold War.

Despite all this forward momentum, 2025 is also marked by a myriad of retrogrades that will help us go back and retrieve what was missed and overlooked. This year, Mercury will retrograde through fire signs, allowing us to rediscover what makes us driven, passionate, and creative. The first Mercury retrograde begins in Aries on February 23, ending in Pisces on April 7. The second takes place in Leo, beginning on July 18 and ending on August 11. The final Mercury retrograde of 2025 starts in Sagittarius on November 9, ending in Scorpio on November 29.

The last time Uranus was in Gemini was 1941 to 1949, which saw the end of WWII and the beginning of the Cold War.

2025 comes to an end with Neptune back in Pisces and Uranus back in Taurus in the midst of their annual retrogrades. This will temporarily bring us back into the past, resurrecting themes that may have taken precedence over the end of 2024 and allowing us to let go of residual energy. Jupiter will also be retrograding through Cancer, hitting the “pause” button on its many blessings. However, as Neptune stations direct on December 10, it will reopen our hearts right in time for 2026, preparing us to fully reap all that we’ve sown throughout the highly eventful year of 2025.

Your 2025 yearly horoscope for each zodiac sign

Here’s what you can expect from the year of 2025, according to your sun and/or rising sign (and seriously, you’re missing out if you don’t read these horoscopes for your rising sign):

Aries

You may not feel very hopeful when 2025 starts, and that’s OK. It begins on a rough note, with Mars—your ruling planet—in the midst of a challenging retrograde. On January 6, it will rev up in intensity when Mars backtracks into sensitive, defensive, and conflict avoidant Cancer, stirring up trouble in your fourth house of home and family. Luckily, this retrograde comes to an end on February 23, lifting a weight off your chest and allowing you to rebuild after making a mess. Read your full 2025 horoscope.

Taurus

Spring begins on a sour note, as Venus—your ruling planet—will station retrograde in Aries as of March 1. Not only will Venus be in “detriment” whilst moving through Aries, but it will also linger in your 12th house of subconscious energies and self-undoing. This could unfold as a sort of “ego death,” forcing you to let go of something you once loved or place value on. The intensity of this retrograde will alleviate some after Venus retrogrades back into Pisces on March 27, bringing up your deeper dreams for the future until Venus retrograde officially ends on April 12. Read your full 2025 horoscope.

Gemini

The year begins in a slog, thanks to Mars retrograde. However, on January 6, this retrograde will shift gears as Mars re-enters Cancer, where it will bring up issues related to your second house of money and possessions until it ends on February 23. There may be conflict surrounding the level of ownership of your life. Rest assured that these problems are only temporary, and that they will spill into the background of the North Node’s shift into Pisces on January 11. This will bring endless blessings to your career and reputation, driving your focus toward outer and inner success. Jupiter in Gemini will also bring you a surprise gift once it stations direct after a long retrograde on February 4, showing you who you’re becoming. Read your full 2025 horoscope.

Cancer

Nothing is ever perfect, but this could truly be your luckiest year yet. Your 2025 horoscope promises that you’re being blessed with abundance, and by the time these 365 days are up, you may be looking back on a year that was overflowing with good fortune. With that being said, it also starts off on super rough note. On January 6, Mars retrograde will backslide into Cancer, bringing your ego to the forefront of your challenges. It may be hard not to take some of this challenging energy so personally, and yet, it could also encourage you to really prove yourself. Fret not, because on January 11, a welcome change will take place as the North Node of Destiny enters fellow water sign Pisces, your ninth house of wisdom and adventure. You’ll feel the wind beneath your wings this year and you might even find yourself traveling to faraway locales. Read your full 2025 horoscope.

Leo

NGL, this year will probably begin on a harsh and combative note. Mars retrograde in Leo will oppose dark and revealing Pluto in in Aquarius—your seventh house of partnerships—on January 3, highlighting any beef you might have with someone. This could be an opportunity to either squash it or get even, in whatever way that means to you. Mars will re-enter Cancer on January 6, giving you a break from its chaos, but revealing hidden enemies along the way as it activates your 12th house of unseen energies. A mysterious shift will take over your life once the North Node of Destiny enters Pisces—your eighth house of dark taboos and intimate resources—on January 11. This will drive you to embrace a total transformation of the heart, namely in the way you give and receive energy from others. Read your full 2025 horoscope.

Virgo

As the year begins, things may feel slow to start. Mars retrograde will be underway, re-entering Cancer—your 11th house of community and aspirations—on January 6. Until Mars retrograde comes to an end on February 23, at best, you may feel disconnected from your social circle, and at worst, you may run into conflict with your wider network. However, a big change really begins to unfold for you on January 11, when the North Node of Destiny enters Pisces, evoking fated relationship developments like a domino effect. At this time, the South Node of Karma will also enter Virgo, encouraging you to let go of the parts of yourself that are no longer serving you or allowing you to grow. Remember—your relationships are a reflection of you. Read your full 2025 horoscope.

Libra

March could be the most challenging month of the year for you, but that doesn’t mean you won’t survive. After all, Venus—your ruling planet—will station retrograde on March 1 in Aries, your seventh house of partnerships. This could bring back people from the past, as well as challenge the dynamic you share with both your allies and your enemies. Communication issues and cosmic run-ins will further run rampant by the time Mercury stations retrograde in Aries on March 29. Regardless of what happens, you’re seeing both a beginning and an ending unravel in your relationships on March 29, when a partial solar eclipse takes place in Aries. You may be meeting someone new or letting go of someone old. Read your full 2025 horoscope.

Scorpio

You’re jumping right into battle this year, as Mars—your ruling planet—will oppose Pluto in Aquarius on January 3, shining a light on conflicts surrounding your public life and personal life. Balance between work and home may be harder to strike, and something’s gotta give. However, once Mars retrogrades back into Cancer—your adventurous and philosophical ninth house—on January 6, it will ease up in intensity, but it could also challenge your long-held beliefs. Before Mars retrograde finally comes to an end on February 23, an even more exciting transition will unfold as the North Node of Destiny enters Pisces, your fifth house of creativity and romance. This will encourage you to express yourself and create something that holds immense meaning in your life throughout the year, but it’ll also ask you to rock out and have a good time. It’s OK to be a lil selfish this year. Read your full 2025 horoscope.

Sagittarius

Drama may unfold in your love life around spring, as Venus—planet of love and money—will station retrograde in Aries—your fifth house of romance and creativity—on March 1. This could resurrect old flames from the dead, as well as lead to unexpected dalliances with the biggest rake in town. Don’t give your heart away so freely, especially after Mercury retrograde begins in Aries on March 15, further confusing the terms of your relationships and situationships. By the time both Mercury and Venus station direct in Pisces as of April 12, you may be able to take your emotional temperature and make decisions about love with your safety in mind. Read your full 2025 horoscope.

Capricorn

The year begins on a dramatic note, especially for your relationships. Passionate and combative Mars will still be retrograde, but on January 6, it will kick up in intensity as it re-enters Cancer. Placing pressure on your seventh house of partnerships, this retrograde could reveal that some allies were just enemies dressed in sheep’s clothing. However, it could also allow you to resolve existing tensions until this retrograde officially comes to an end on February 23. Until then, the North Node of Destiny will enter Pisces on January 11, bringing your focus and intention to your third house of communications and close friends. This will evoke fated events that affect your day-to-day relationships, your local neighborhood, and the thoughts and opinions you share. Read your full 2025 horoscope.

Aquarius

On January 3, Mars retrograde in Leo will oppose Pluto in Aquarius, bringing rise to hidden tensions in your relationships. There may be a struggle for power, especially in some of your most intimate and debt-ridden relationships. However, Mars retrograde will re-enter Cancer—your sixth house of wellness and routine—on January 6, taking some of the pressure off your relationships. Instead, it could increase the demands of your day job or reveal health issues that need a closer look. Mars retrograde will come to an end on February 23, but not before the North Node of Destiny enters Pisces—your second house of money and self-esteem—on January 11. This will guide you toward obtaining the finances and personal luxuries that you deserve, encouraging you to let go of situations that drain your energy and resources. Read your full 2025 horoscope.

Pisces

If may take a while for the engine to start as the year begins. Mars retrograde will be underway, re-entering Cancer—your fifth house of passion and creativity—on January 6. Until Mars retrograde comes to an end on February 23, at best, you may feel pretty bored and uninspired, and at worst, you may run into old flames you really shouldn’t be getting back in touch with. However, a powerful shift really begins to unfold for you on January 11, when the North Node of Destiny officially enters Pisces, driving you toward personal growth and positive relationship developments. At this time, the South Node of Karma will also enter Virgo—your seventh house of partnerships—forcing you to let go of the toxic patterns and codependent behaviors that have held you back in the past.
