Welcome to 2025, Aries. This year brings a flurry of love, welcome career news, opportunities for friends, and cosmic calls for self-care. Venus moves in and out of your sign. When the generous planet is in Aries, love abounds, and there are opportunities to make money, and lean into beauty routines. Just be mindful of making major changes during Venus retrograde, and understand that love and money may also slow down around this date. Mars retrograde may affect your sex drive, but also offer opportunities to connect with others.

Your birthday season offers an opportunity to celebrate yourself and let your loved ones do the same. Dreamy Neptune enters your sign this year and will stay there all the way through 2039. This could see someone important moving into your love life and giving all romance a dreamy and ethereal feel. Just note the partial eclipse in your sign. Not only should you practice self-care this day, but some Aries may enjoy unexpected meet-cutes. Restrictive Saturn also moves into your sign this year, and when it does, you need to remember not to overdo it. A full moon in your sign arrives in October, which could lead to welcome career news or hot sex, but it is likely best spent relaxing at home.

Love & Relationships

As the first sign of the zodiac, and a fire sign at that, Aries are notoriously attractive. Have fun flirting, but be aware that you're very easy to fall in love with. You're especially alluring early in 2025, as on Tuesday, February 4, lover Venus moves into your sign, where it will stay until Thursday, March 27. When Venus is in your sign, you're not only more magnetic, but love just comes easier. If you're partnered, this sees an injection of passion that could reignite any stagnant long-term relationships. Early in the year, however, your sex drive may be lower than usual, as your ruling planet, Mars, is retrograde until Sunday, February 23.

Venus retrograde isn't cause for alarm, but it can make love feel stagnant.

Also know that Venus goes retrograde starting in your sign on Saturday, March 1. It does direct in Pisces on Saturday, April 12. Venus retrograde isn't cause for alarm, but it can make love feel stagnant. Venus retrograde is considered not an ideal time for first dates, weddings, or anything where romance is key. (That said, we'd never recommend letting astrology keep you from living your life. It's meant to be fun!) Venus, now direct, reenters your sign on Wednesday, April 30, and stays until Friday, June 6, making that time of year worth adding to your calendar.

Make sure to celebrate love in all its forms during Aries season, which begins on Thursday, March 20, and lasts through Saturday, April 19. Happy solar return! Dreamy Neptune is in your sign, which begins on Sunday, March 30, and lasts all the way through 2039. This significant shift indicates that many Aries will begin very significant relationships during this time, and that love will feel grand and passionate. Neptune in your sign makes all love feel ultra-dreamy.

There is a new moon and partial solar eclipse in your sign on Saturday, March 29. Eclipses can be cosmic wildcards, and when they happen with a new moon, they signal new beginnings. As a result, this date could bring unexpected meet-cutes your way.

Communication in love becomes easy when messenger Mercury moves into your sign starting on Monday, March 3. However, it goes retrograde starting on Saturday, March 15, moving backward into Pisces. After completing its backward dance, Mercury moves forward again and re-enters Aries on Wednesday, April 16. While Mercury retrograde could signal exes sliding into your DMs and miscommunication, use the periods when Mercury is in your sign to smooth out any misunderstandings.

Leo season, which lights up your pleasurable 5th House, from Tuesday, July 22, to Friday, August 22, is also worth noting for your love and sex records. Libra season, which affects your 7th House of Partnerships, which lasts through Monday, September 22 to Thursday, October 23, should also be a very romantic time of year. Additionally, the full moon in your sign, Monday, October 6, could be a night for very hot sex, although be aware that arguments could also break out as full moon leaves all sort of passions feeling high.

Friendships

Aquarius season, which takes place early in the year, Sunday, January 19, through Tuesday, February 18, lights up your 11th House of Friendship, making early 2025 an excellent time of year to connect with your community. During this time, starting on Tuesday, February 4, through Thursday, March 27, Venus will be in your sign. Remember that Venus blesses all forms of love, not just romance. As a result, Venus retrograde (Saturday, March 1 through Saturday, April 12) could also make friendships feel a little stagnant, but as long as you're aware of this, it shouldn't cause too many issues. And remember, Venus, now direct, reenters your sign on Wednesday, April 30 and stays until Friday, June 6.

It's of the utmost importance to celebrate your birthday season with friends.

It's of the utmost importance to celebrate your birthday season, Thursday, March 20, through Saturday, April 19, with friends.

Career

You'll want to mark down the dates that Venus is in your sign, Tuesday, February 4, through Thursday, March 27. However, until Sunday, February 23, Mars, your ruling planet, is retrograde when the year begins, through Sunday, February 23. Mars rules assertiveness, so you may feel a little less ambitious early in the year.

You'll also want to note that Venus goes retrograde from Saturday, March 1 through Saturday, April 12, and reenters your sign on Wednesday, April 30 and stays until Friday, June 6. Venus is a very opulent planet. She not only rules love and beauty, but money, too. Quite unfortunately, we can't promise extra cash in this economy. But we can tell you that when Venus is in your sign, the stars are feeling generous. It's a good time to assert yourself at work and ask for a raise.

However, during Venus retrograde, it may feel like walking through molasses. You could have a harder time asserting yourself at work, and communication about money could slow down, kind of like during messenger Mercury's retrograde (which lasts from Saturday, March 15 to Wednesday, April 16). Therefore, try to apply to new jobs and ask for raises while Venus is direct. And if things take longer than usual during Venus retrograde, know that it's only temporary.

Full moons are associated with results and manifestation. There are three full moons that could lead to welcome professional news in 2025. The first arrives in Capricorn, affecting your 10th Hose of Social Status, on Thursday, July 10. The second is the full moon in your sign, on Monday, October 6. And the third is the Taurus full moon, which illuminates your 2nd House of Possessions on Wednesday, November 5. Mark these down in your calendar as dates to keep an eye on your inbox.

Sunday, December 21, to Monday, January 19, 2026 is Capricorn season, which lights up your ambitious 10th House. As a result, the end of the year could also be an abundant time professionally. Just make sure to enjoy rest and relaxation with friends and family in addition to work.

Health & Wellness

You'll feel called to lean into beauty routines while pretty Venus is in your sign, Tuesday, February 4, through Thursday, March 27. However, be very aware that when it goes retrograde from Saturday, March 1 through Saturday, April 12, you're advised against making major changes to your appearance. If you do, you might be disappointed by your new hair color or piercing placement. Instead, save any drastic changes for when Venus is direct, or when it's back in your sign from Wednesday, April 30 through Friday, June 6. Venus retrograde is best for enjoying baths and extra sleep, cozy activities at home.

Saturn is a little intense. Just be mindful of overdoing it while the planet is in your sign.

While strict Saturn is in your sign, you may feel encouraged to pick up a high-octane workout routine. Saturn is a little intense, so just be mindful of overdoing it.

Also, note the new moon and partial solar eclipse in your sign on Saturday, March 29. Eclipses can leave you on edge even more than full moons do, so be gentle with yourself around this date.

Virgo season, which lasts through Friday, August 22 to Monday, September 22, affects your 6th House of Health. That isn't the alarm bells ringing that something is going to go wrong. Rather, it's a call to get cozy at home and to delight in vanity. Another cosmic excuse to relax arrives during the full moon in your sign on Monday, October 6. Full moons can leave you feeling worn out, so take extra care of yourself around this date.
