Welcome to January, Aries, the first month of the year! During December, your ruling planet, warrior Mars, went retrograde, where it will stay through February. When Mars is retrograde, some Aries may notice a shift in their libidos. If this happens, be kind and gentle to yourself. What may be even more noticeable is that you feel less ambitious than usual. Rather than want to hurry and hustle, you're feeling creative. Early 2025 is best spent leaning into creative hobbies rather than trying for a promotion (but the chance for that comes soon enough).
On Thursday, January 2, Vesta, the asteroid of spirituality, moves into erotic Scorpio. This is a rather sexy transit. As Mars is retrograde, this could see you connecting with yourself through other forms of sexuality. Regardless of your relationship status, find yourself connecting with a sex toy, taking long baths, or trying new beauty routines. Know that Thursday, January 2, could be a little tense. That's because also on this date, your ruling planet, Mars, opposes, a stressful aspect, transformative Pluto. Basically, the first few days of the new year are ideal for resting at home.
Early January is also ultra spiritual, thanks to lovely Venus moving into dreamy Pisces on Friday, January 3. As this affects your heady 12th House, it's an ideal time to work with tarot and connect with ancestors. You may also want to consider keeping a dream journal by your bed. Shortly after, on Monday, January 6, when Mars retrograde shifts into your cozy 4th House, you're even more encouraged to relax at home.
All of January is super cozy. On Monday, January 13, the sky lights up with a Cancer full moon that affects your 4th House. Full moons are beautiful, so make sure to take a peek outside! However, they can also be draining. As a result, mark this day down in your calendar, and try to take it easy. Know that full moons can sometimes lead to fights, so you'll want to take it easy around this date.
You're feeling super social when community-based Aquarius season begins starting on Sunday, January 19. This time of year, it's important to prioritize your friendships. You may even want to let any romantic partners know that for the next few weeks, connecting with friends is the priority. And, at the end of the month, on Monday, January 27, messenger Mercury moves into Aquarius, encouraging light-hearted gossip with friends. Gossip has become maligned in recent years, but once upon a time, it was just considered a healthy way to share information and circumvent the powers to be.
While the full moon earlier in the month was best for taking it easy at home, January 29 feels rather social.
You may find yourself making a new friend or becoming close with an old one on Wednesday, January 29, during the Aquarius new moon. While the full moon earlier in the month was best for taking it easy at home, this date feels rather social. Adding to this, Wednesday, January 29, marks the Lunar New Year, which is the Year of the Snake. Lunar New Years are meant to be celebrated with friends and family.
The following day, on Thursday, January 30, the eccentric planet Uranus ends its retrograde and goes direct on in the part of your chart that rules and affects finances. Uranus is a community-minded planet that cares about you and the ones you love, too. Of course, you can't rely on astrology to make financial decisions. However, per the stars, Uranus going direct is associated with clarity, especially surrounding work and money. Uranus direct sees you deciding on what action to take, about your career, after the reflection that came with Uranus retrograde.
