Welcome to 2025, Capricorn. When the year begins, some Capricorns (and other signs) may notice a shift in libido thanks to Mars retrograde. Shortly after, Venus goes retrograde, which can lead to slowdowns in love and money, and it also is not considered the best time to make drastic changes to your appearance. Know that in March, a new moon and solar eclipse in Aries could affect friendships. The summer is ultra-romantic as Venus moves into Taurus. And after that, when Venus moves into your 7th House, many Capricorns see sex deepening emotional connection. When Mercury moves into your sign early in the year, your creativity is at an all-time high. Mark down the dates of Mercury retrograde, as they could lead to misunderstandings with friends. In November, a Taurus full moon could lead to potential fights with lovers.

A bright full moon in Scorpio could lead to disagreements or tension with friends if you aren’t careful. Your ruling planet, restrictive Saturn, is retrograde from Sunday, July 13, to Tuesday, November 25. During this time, you may see yourself reconsidering your career goals, and when it goes direct, results start coming in. Finally, Venus moves into your sign at the end of the year, bringing love and other lovely news in time for the holidays, although self-care is required.

Love & Relationships

In 2025, we can best get an idea of your love life by looking to pretty Venus, the planet that rules love (not to mention, money and beauty, more on that soon). However, Mars, which rules sexual energy, also comes up. You, and other signs, might notice a shift in libido when the year begins, as Mars is retrograde until Sunday, February 23. If you experience this, allow yourself to enjoy this ebb and flow.

After Mars goes direct, Venus then begins a backward dance, too from Saturday, March 1 to Saturday, April 12. This isn't considered the best time to have weddings, or begin relationships, but also, never let astrology dictate your life. However, should you want to use the star to plan, once Venus is direct, enjoy in all the love you want.

The summer is ultra-romantic, as Venus moves into Taurus, affecting your pleasurable 5th House, from Friday, June 6, where it will stay until Friday, July 4. This sees a resurgence of eroticism in your relationships. However, if you're single, not interested in dating, or just enjoy technology, it's also a lovely time to gift yourself a sex toy. Later in July, the vibe shifts from hot sex to deepening romance thanks to Venus transitting your partnership-oriented 7th House from Wednesday, July 30 to Monday, August 25. This period of the summer is about the emotional connection that stems from physical partnerships.

Full moons can be dramatic times, and this date could also lead to fights with lovers.

Another steamy night arrives during the Taurus full moon on Wednesday, November 5. While this indicates hot sex, know that full moons can be dramatic times, and this date could also lead to fights with lovers. As a result, mark it down in your calendar as a day to take it easy and relax at home. And, finally 2025 ends on a romantic note, as Venus shifts into your sign on Wednesday, December 24, where it will stay through the end of the year.

Friendships

Here's a fun fact to begin the friendship part of your 2025 horoscope with: Once upon a time, gossip wasn't maligned but seen as a valuable way to exchange information.

While on the topic of Mercury, you may want to mark down the 2025 dates of Mercury retrograde. They take place from Saturday, March 15 to Monday, April 7, Friday, July 18 to Monday, August 11, and Sunday, November 9 to Friday, November 29. Allow extra travel time to friend dates during Mercury retrograde, do the same for your friends, and choose your words carefully to avoid misunderstandings.

Be aware that there's a new moon and solar eclipse in Aries on Saturday, March 29, that affects your 4th House of Home and Family, which encompasses friendships. This could lead to a lot of drama if you don't self-soothe, so mark it down in your calendar and opt for self-care.

If you do go out and party, be aware that some single Capricorns will find themselves making out with friends.

It's a lunation that is ideally best spent enjoying low-key hangs such as watching movies or a dinner party.

In its best sense, this lunation brings a leveling up to friendships, helping friends start to feel like family. However, tension also may run high. You may also want to consider taking it easy on this night.

Career

While you have a grounded and often analytical reputation, you're also a rather creative sign, Capricorn. Just look at fellow Capricorns David Bowie and Ice Spice. You're especially creative while messenger Mercury is in your sign from Wednesday, January 8, to Monday, January 27. When the year begins, remember that Mars is retrograde (until Sunday, February 23). This could see you feeling a little less ambitious than usual. However, you are very interested in creative hobbies, so lean into those while Mars is retrograde.

Then, remember that Venus goes retrograde from Saturday, March 1, to Saturday, April 12. This could lead to a slowdown in news regarding money. If that happens, just see it as a cosmic call to practice patience, which really does make life so much easier, if you can learn how to do it.

Many Capricorns will apply for new jobs, often successfully, during Saturn retrograde.

Your ruling planet, restrictive Saturn, is retrograde from Sunday, July 13, to Tuesday, November 25. Saturn rules rules, and during this time, you may see yourself reconsidering your professional approach. Many Capricorns will apply for new jobs, often successfully, during Saturn retrograde. However, know that Saturn retrograde is more associated with planning than results, and news about your efforts is most likely to arrive in the latter part of Saturn retrograde. In particular, from Monday, October 13, to Thursday, November 6. During these dates, bountiful Venus shines on your ambitious 10th House, bringing the results you've been hoping for.

Health & Wellness

Remember that early in 2025, from Saturday, March 1 to Saturday, April 12, lush Venus is retrograde. As the planet rules beauty, in addition to love and money, Venus retrograde isn't considered the best time to make major changes to your appearance. This includes major hair color changes and plastic surgery. It's not a hard and fast rule, remember, don't let astrology dictate how to live your life, but that is what astrologers tend to advise around Venus retrograde.

However, the summer, particularly during July, is ideal for beauty routines. This is especially true when Venus, now direct, moves into Gemini from Friday, July 4, to Wednesday, July 30. During these dates, the pretty planet encourages self-care. The best time for a makeover is during the fall. From Monday, August 25, to Friday, September 29, Venus affects your transformative 8th House. Celebrate with a bold haircut or a cute piercing.

While full moons are gorgeous, they can leave you feeling burnt out, especially this one.

Take it easy during the Gemini full moon on Thursday, December 4. While full moons are gorgeous, they can leave you feeling burnt out, especially this one, as it affects your 6th House. Mark it down in your calendar and curate a self-care plan. Also, know that at the end of the year, you should feel ultra-beautiful as Venus shifts into your sign starting on Wednesday, December 24. This is also a cosmic fall for extra rest during the holiday season. Stay up to date with your monthly horoscope for a more in-depth look at your horoscopes.
