Welcome to 2025, Libra. When the year begins, the intense planet Mars is retrograde. As a result, your libido may be lower than usual, and you may feel less interested in work. That's okay. Just see it as an excuse to relax. Shortly after, Venus, your ruling planet, which governs love, money, and beauty, also retrogrades. This can make love feel sluggish, cause professional delays, and is not the best time to make drastic changes to your appearance. However, she soon goes direct. The spring brings many opulent days, including the Scorpio full moon, which indicates hot sex.

Mark down the Mercury retrogrades of 2025, as they can lead to misunderstandings, particularly with friends. You'll also want to take it easy to avoid arguments with friends during the Capricorn full moon in July. Another night of hot sex arrives later in the summer during the Aquarius full moon. During the fall, when Venus shifts into your sign, it's the perfect time of year for weddings, and single Libras are likely to pair up. Venus, now direct, in Libra, is lovely for love, making career shifts, or drastic changes to your appearance. Just note that an eclipse in Pisces requires lots of rest and self-care to avoid drama. All of the fall, especially Halloween through Thanksgiving, indicates desired professional outcomes.

Love & Relationships

You're ruled by romantic Venus and the 7th House of Partnership, so as a result, having healthy romantic love is important for your well-being. With that in mind, remember that unhealthy partnerships affect your entire world, so during 2025, make sure that you're treating love as divine as your sign understands it to be and only coupling with people worth your time. When the year begins, your libido may be lower than usual, as Mars, the planet associated with sexual energy, is retrograde until Sunday, February 23.

However, right after Mars goes direct, Venus, the planet of love and your ruler, begins its retrograde, which starts on Saturday, March 1, and lasts through Saturday, April 12. This sees love feel a little stagnant and is not considered the best time for first dates or weddings. And, in the middle of Venus retrograde, on Saturday, March 29, there's a new moon and solar eclipse in Aries that could mean drama for love. Of the most positive possibilities, this cosmic event could mean unexpected meet-cutes, as solar eclipses can bring fated experiences our way. However, eclipses can also be stressful and cause fights. As a result, to play it safe, take it easy around this date to avoid fights with your partner.

After a whirlwind spring, your summer should be relaxing and even comfortably lazy in love.

After a whirlwind and, at times, sluggish spring, your summer should be relaxing and even comfortably lazy in love. Things really get romantic in the fall. A night of hot sex arrives during the Aquarius full moon on Saturday, August 9. If you're single or just enjoy the companionship of battery-powered accessories, see this orgasmic lunation as an excuse to treat yourself to a new sex toy. Then, on Monday, October 13, your ruling planet, Venus, now happily direct, moves into your sign. It stays there until Thursday, November 6. When Venus is in your sign, it's the perfect time of year for weddings, and single Libras likely won't stay that way for long.

Friendships

While romantic relationships tend to get a lot of attention, remember that your ruler, Venus, cares about friendships, too. When the year begins, and the sun is in Capricorn, where it will stay until Monday, January 19, you're enjoying your friendships so much that romantic love may take the back burner.

You might want to write down the retrogrades of messenger Mercury of the year, which 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. While they aren't cause for alarm, Mercury retrogrades can lead to misunderstandings with friends and even just cause people to be late for hangouts. By noting these in your calendar, you can plan for them.

Watch out for fights with friends during the Capricorn full moon.

Watch out for fights with friends during the Capricorn full moon on Thursday, July 10. Tension will be at an all-time high. And, if you're single, beware that some Libras may see themselves making out with or developing feelings for a friend around this date.

When the sun moves into your sign, kicking off Libra season, which lasts from Monday, September 22 to Wednesday, October 22, make sure to carve out time to see friends. The sun is in your sign, which means it's your birthday season, and you deserve to celebrate with those you love. Overlapping with your season, your ruler, Venus, is in proud Leo from Monday, August 25, where it will stay until Friday, September 29. Venus in Leo blesses your 11th House of Friendship, further indicating that autumn is not just set to be romantic but equally epic for your friendships.

As 2025 starts to wrap up, the sun moves back into Capricorn on Sunday, December 21, where it will stay until Monday, January 19, 2026. Remember that Capricorn season is lovely for your friendships, so the year is bookmarked by feeling loved by your chosen family.

Career

If you feel a little less ambitious than usual when the year begins, it's probably because Mars, which rules action, is retrograde until Sunday, February 23. Rather than stress out and try to fight this, just know that it's okay to work less harder than usual during the first several weeks of 2025. Shortly after Mars ends its retrograde, your ruling planet, Venus, begins its backward dance, which lasts from Saturday, March 1, through Saturday, April 12. Venus rules love, but also money, and beauty. She's quite busy! While Venus is retrograding, news about money can slow down. If there are delays about an email you've been waiting on during this time period, unfortunately, you're just going to have to practice patience.

However, one date that could bring welcome career news early in the year is the full moon in intense Scorpio on Monday, May 12. This lunation correlates with manifestation, and while you may feel a little on edge, you could also see welcome news finally arriving. The entire summer of 2025 looks to be rather abundant, especially when the sun is in Cancer, which lasts from Friday, June 20, through Wednesday, July 22. During Cancer season, the sun shines on your ambitious 10th House, making it a lovely time to apply for new jobs or ask for a promotion.

Around Halloween nearly up through Thanksgiving, desired professional outcomes are likely.

But, if that doesn't align with your schedule, know that the fall is rather opulent, too. Venus, now happily direct, shifts into your sign starting on Monday, October 13, and stays there through Thursday, November 6. While we can't ever promise money in a horoscope, we can tell you that the stars feel very generous with you while Venus is in your sign. And, overlapping with this, from Wednesday, October 22 to Friday, November 21, the sun is in Scorpio, which blesses your abundant 2nd House. So, around Halloween nearly up through Thanksgiving, desired professional outcomes are likely.

Health & Wellness

As Venus rules you, Libras are happiest when well-pampered and cared for. The need for lots of sleep and self-care arrives early in 2025, when the sun is in Pisces, from Tuesday, February 18 to Thursday, March 20. During this time, your 6th House of Health is illuminated. When your 6th House comes up in a horoscope, don't panic that it means illness dooms. Rather, just see it as cosmic encouragement to pamper yourself.

During Venus retrograde, it's ill-advised to make major changes to your appearance.

During this time, keep in mind that your ruler, Venus, goes retrograde. As a reminder, this occurs from Saturday, March 1, through Saturday, April 12. Among other things, during Venus retrograde, it's ill-advised to make major changes to your appearance. If possible, try to hold off on plastic surgery or drastic hair color changes. Venus retrograde shifts into your 6th House on Thursday, March 27, so the final two weeks or so are especially not ideal.

Of all the dates in 2025, you'll especially want to take it easy on Sunday, September 7, as this brings a full moon and a lunar eclipse in Pisces, affecting your 6th House. Eclipses are high-octane, stressful, and unpredictable times. It can feel as if doors suddenly close. Avoid unwanted drama by taking it easy around this date.

The best time of year for plastic surgery or drastic hair color changes arrives once Venus, now happily direct, stations in your sign. This takes place from Monday, October 13 to Thursday, November 6. Stay up to date with your monthly horoscopes for more detailed coverage of 2025.
