Here Are the Best 2025 New Year's Resolutions for Each Zodiac Sign
Astrologer Valerie Mesa shares the best resolution for an action-packed year ahead
As we enter 2025, we step into an action-packed year full of significant astrological shifts, making it a perfect time to set New Year’s resolutions that resonate with the energies ahead.
Mars retrograde, for instance, encourages us to re-evaluate our actions, passions and emotional responses. Early in the year, it asks us to reflect on how we’ve been asserting ourselves, personally and professionally.
More importantly, the North Node’s shift into Pisces on Jan. 11 signals a call for collective healing and spiritual growth.
As the North Node moves through this Mutable sign, we’re called to embrace compassion, creativity and a deeper connection to the mystical side of life. This is a time to nurture our intuition and prioritize spiritual growth.
Whether through art, meditation or community service, this influence will guide us toward more interconnectedness.
Venus retrograde (in Aries and Pisces) will also stir up matters of love, self-worth and independence. This retrograde cycle invites us to reconsider how we show up in relationships, specifically regarding self-love and personal desires. It’s a powerful time to make peace with our love lives and find a renewed sense of freedom and self-appreciation.
A brand-new series of eclipses will also kick off in March — activating the sign of Virgo followed by Pisces — bringing attention to our daily rituals, work routines and health habits.
Neptune’s debut in Aries on Mar. 30 will also spark a new era of inspiration and visionary thinking. Neptune in Aries represents a merging of action and imagination, making it ideal for taking bold creative risks and diving into projects that truly feel authentic.
Jupiter’s ingress into Cancer on June 9 invites expansion and growth into our personal lives, heightening our emotional intelligence while encouraging us to focus on nurturing, family and our perception of home.
Uranus entering Gemini will also bring unexpected shifts in how we communicate and process information, potentially inspiring innovation in technology, communication and learning.
Finally, a total lunar eclipse in Pisces on Sept. 7 — followed by a solar eclipse in Virgo on Sept. 21 — will amplify the need to balance dreams with what is realistic for us in the long term.
These eclipses remind us that while it’s important to dream big, we must stay rooted in reality and take practical steps to manifest our goals and dreams.
With all these changes unfolding throughout 2025, it’s truly a year to make your resolutions count.
Read on for your New Year's resolution according to your zodiac sign.
