Welcome to 2025, Aquarius. When the year begins, several planets are retrograde. This includes eccentric Uranus, your ruler. During Uranus retrograde, you reevaluate all areas of your life with the goal of becoming happier. However, in early 2025, warrior Mars is also retrograde. This could see shifts in libido and lowered drive at work, but it offers an ideal chance to connect and build community. The Leo full moon in February could bring culmination in your love life. And, when Venus goes retrograde, love may feel sluggish, delays in money news could occur, and it's not considered the best time to make major changes to your appearance—save those makeovers for the summer or fall.

You'll want to take note of the Mercury retrogrades in 2025. While not cause for alarm, they could lead to misunderstandings with friends. Mark down the date of the Sagittarius full moon, as arguments with friends could occur. Whether they lead to healing or more drama depends on your approach. There is an eclipse in the middle of Venus retrograde that requires lots of self-care, and you'll want to take it easy during the full moon in your sign. The same advice holds true for another eclipse in the fall. Sagittarius season is excellent for your social life, and, in the fall, Uranus goes retrograde again, bookending the year with introspection.

Love & Relationships

Overall, 2025 points to a rather smooth year in love. When the year begins, your ruling planet, eccentric Uranus, is retrograde until Thursday, January 20. This isn't cause for alarm, but it does see you rethinking how you want to approach love. Early 2025 may be a little sluggish as it pertains to love and sex. Note that Mars, the warrior planet that rules sexual energy, is retrograde until Sunday, February 23. During this time, you and other signs may notice a shift in libido. If this happens, just honor whatever arises. However, despite Mars's retrograde, the full moon in Leo on Tuesday, February 12, could bring culminations to romantic relationships. Just know that if you're not careful, it could also lead to fights with partners, so opt for low-key hangs at home rather than wild nights.

Shortly after Mars goes direct, romantic Venus begins its backward dance from Saturday, March 1, to Saturday, April 12. While you shouldn't let astrology stop you from living your life, these dates are not considered the best time for marriage, and if you're single, dating may feel a little slow.

While all of 2025 is romantic, it's bookended with meditations on what love means to you.

July looks to be an exceptionally sexy month. From Friday, July 4 to Wednesday, July 30, Venus is in your pleasurable 5th House. This time of the year could see sex marathons, spontaneous vacations, or simply erotic nights at home with a sex toy. As summer fades to fall and Venus shifts into Gemini and your romantic 7th House, many Aquarius will see the physical side of sex amplified by an emotional connection when Venus moves into Leo, from Monday, August 25, where it will stay until Friday, September 29. If you're hoping to be in a new relationship, the summer could see you meeting someone while the fall deepens that partnership. During this time, starting on Saturday, September 6, your ruling planet, Uranus, goes retrograde again, and this backward dance lasts through the end of the year. So, while all of 2025 is romantic, it's bookended with meditations on what love means to you.

Friendships

While it's common to want to read your horoscopes for information on romantic love, remember that your friendships serve as the foundation upon which all other relationships are based. You absolutely want to connect with friends during Aquarius season while the sun is in your sign from Sunday, January 19, to Tuesday, February 18. Make sure to communicate to your friends and chosen family how you want to celebrate.

When 2025 begins, your ruling planet, Uranus, is retrograde until Thursday, January 20. This brings shifts in all areas of your life. Regarding friendships, it could see your social circle expanding. Acquaintances may invite you to parties during this time that lead to life-long friendships.

Mark down the dates of messenger Mercury's retrogrades. They are Friday, July 18 to Monday, August 11, and Sunday, November 9 to Friday, November 29. Mercury retrogrades can lead to misunderstandings with friends. However, if you're aware of them, you can prevent this from happening by communicating with extra care during these backward dances. A Sagittarius full moon arrives in the summer on Wednesday, June 11, that could lead to arguments with friends. While this lunation could be healing, and see disagreements come to fruition only for growth to occur, to avoid messy drama, mark this date down in your calendar and avoid overconsumption of alcohol to make sure it's a full moon that's healing rather than harmful.

2025 is bookended by shifts to all areas of your life, including who you call your best friend.

Your ruling planet, Uranus, goes retrograde again starting on Saturday, September 6, lasting through the end of the year. This sees more changes to your social group. 2025 is bookended by shifts to all areas of your life, including who you call your best friend.

Career

You're the sign of community, Aquarius. When 2025 begins, not only is your ruling planet, Uranus, retrograde, as it will be until Thursday, January 20, but so is the warrior planet Mars (which stations direct on Sunday, February 23). As a result, through the end of February, you, and other signs, may feel less ambitious in the traditional sense than usual as it pertains to work. However, this offers the perfect opportunity for community healing and organizing. Messenger Mercury, who is also associated with creativity, moves into your sign on Monday, January 27, and stays there through Friday, February 14. Rather than hustle at the office, you're more interested in creative hobbies. Lean into this!

Shortly after, from Saturday, March 1 to Saturday, April 12, lush Venus is retrograde. As a reminder, Venus rules love, but also money and beauty. Therefore, it's possible that Venus retrograde could see delays in professional or financial news. If this happens, you just have to see it as a cosmic lesson in patience.

Use Uranus retrograde as an excuse to meditate and ensure you're on the right path.

Of course, very welcome career shifts will happen in 2025. The stars always reward focus, drive, and commitment to reach your goals. But it's a year that also asks for lots of introspection to ensure you're aligned with those dreams. This is especially true during your ruling planet Uranus's retrograde, which takes place, of course, early in the year, but again starting on Saturday, September 6, lasting through the end of the year. Use Uranus retrograde as an excuse to meditate and ensure you're on the right path.

During Uranus retrograde, the sun shines on your ambitious 10th House during Scorpio season, which lasts from Wednesday, October 22 to Sunday, November 30. As a result, the autumn could see desired professional news, promotions, career shifts, and raises. And, of course, continue to honor your role as a community builder all year long.

Health & Wellness

All star signs should be aware that Venus retrograde, which lasts from Saturday, March 1 to Saturday, April 12, is astrologically considered not the best time to make major changes to your appearance. If possible, try to avoid drastic hair color changes or plastic surgery during these dates. And in the middle of Venus retrograde, on Friday, March 14, there's a full moon and lunar eclipse in Virgo, which affects your 6th House of Health. Eclipses are high-octane events that can leave us feeling drained. When your 6th House comes up in a horoscope, it's not a cause for alarm, but a reminder to take it easy. Mark this eclipse down in your calendar and see it as a chance to relax.

While Venus is in Cancer, enjoy all the big beauty changes you want.

However, during the summer, especially from Wednesday, July 30 to Monday, August 25, while Venus is in Cancer, enjoy all the big beauty changes you want. This advice continues through the fall, especially while Venus is in Virgo from Friday, September 19, to Monday, October 13. The latter affects your transformative 8th House, which is the part of your chart that rules makeovers, is super fun for swapping out your hair color or scheduling appointments for things like cute piercings or injectables.

You'll want to take it easy during the full moon in your sign that arrives on Saturday, August 6. Full moons are beautiful and powerful, but they can also leave you feeling a little drained. Just make note of this lunation. And this same advice holds for the new moon and solar eclipse in in Virgo, on Sunday, September 21. You cold feel a little overwhelmed during this celestial event. It's not cause for alarm, just, once again, a reminder for self-care. Stay up-to-date with your monthly horoscopes for more detailed insights into the astrology of 2025.
