Retrogrades Are Finally Coming to a Halt and These 4 Zodiac Signs Will Get a Rare Break

2025 has been consumed with cosmic chaos, and the year has just begun.

We kicked off the new year amidst three planetary retrogrades. Uranus, who is the revolutionary and rebellious celestial body that awakens our senses and urges us to change, has been moonwalking from Sept. 1, 2024, to Jan. 30, 2025, in the sign of Taurus.

Jupiter — representing knowledge, growth and luck — has been hedging its bets in Gemini. From Oct. 9, 2024, to Feb. 4, 2025, Jupiter retrograde has urged us to focus on inner growth and to stop us from making rash decisions.

Finally, the action planet Mars has been moving backward since Dec. 6, 2024, in the signs of Leo and Cancer. Mars retrograde ends on Feb. 23, giving us a chance to regain our strength, gusto and ferocity. 

You might think that all of the direct motion of these planets means that life is full of rainbows and butterflies for the next month. On the contrary, we still have two more planets beginning to moonwalk.

From March 1 to April 12, Venus will be retrograde in the signs of Aries and Pisces, urging us to reassess our values and relationships. Two weeks later on March 15, Mercury will begin to travel backward in the signs of Aries and Pisces until April 7, bringing miscommunications, travel issues and misinformation our way.

Before then, we have a few days of chill vibes from Feb. 24 to Feb. 28 to make things happen.

Use this moment as an opportunity to commit to situations and people. It’s an excellent time to invest your money, file taxes early (to avoid problems and get your refund ASAP without delays), make necessary changes, decide how you feel about a relationship, focus on your needs and make promises you intend to keep.

You might want to sign contracts and make deals to elevate your status. You should not wait to do these things during Venus and Mercury retrograde, because you might not get the money you deserve, and things could fall apart or have a different outcome. To be in control of matters, it's best to take care of them between Feb. 24 and Feb. 28 or wait till the middle of April to do so.

Here’s what it means for your zodiac sign:

Aries (March 20-April 19)

Aries, sometimes you must learn to go with the flow. The retrogrades had you feeling like a ball of stress; now, you can move at your speed. Rather than plotting your actions, let the universe show you what direction you're headed in. The moment has finally come for you to embrace your fiery and impulsive sentiments by carpe-diem-ing life to be fulfilled on every imaginable level.

Taurus (April 19-May 20)

Taurus, you do not enjoy change since your stubborn tendencies make you more rigid. However, you must insert growth at some level in your personal life to transform with the times. No matter how you choose to evolve, know that spreading your wings will improve your life. You will be freer, genuine, realistic, eccentric, energetic and able to honor your true self.

Gemini (May 20-June 20)

Since you're always on the go Gemini, it's hard for you to stand still and reflect on the days ahead to properly assess what is going on in your life and how to improve certain situations. There may be things that you want to dispel from your auric zone, which means that an emotional detox and cleansing is necessary at this moment in time.

Cancer (June 20-July 22)

Cancer, after months of being a pushover in friendship and romance, you’re finding that you don't need specific energies from people in your life. Even though they have been standing by your side for years, the current quality of the relationship is not up to your standards. It’s OK to let people go, if only for a season. You can always go back when you’re ready.  

Leo (July 22-Aug. 22)

Feeling sorry for yourself is so unlike you, Leo. You must reclaim your inner power and step up your game. If you're less confident, state positive affirmations that allow you to evoke your lion. Roar out your emotions and passions when to speak. You have a lot to say and express to your friends, family and the world so make sure you're being heard and appreciated.

Virgo (Aug. 22-Sept. 22)

Virgo, it will be easier to get your groove back when taking on endeavors. Not only will you have more enthusiasm, but you'll also be able to get all your work assignments promptly. Once your inbox reaches zero — and you respond to all your unread texts — you'll be able to gain headway. You will feel lighter and more relaxed after ensuring that everything is done on time.

Libra (Sept. 22-Oct. 22)

Libra, friends that you haven't spoken to in a long time are reappearing back in your life after months. Their hiatus is ending due to their own issues and now they're emerging with tenacity. Spend time with your pals, but don't let them consume your life. Maintain boundaries to ensure you have structure in your life.

Scorpio (Oct. 22-Nov. 21)

The professional matters that have been put on hold are revving up, Scorpio. You might find that the promotion or raise you were in talks to have before the latest series of planetary moonwalks is suddenly becoming tangible. Lean into this moment and try to make the possibilities work for you. Anything can manifest if you believe in your capabilities and strengths. You got this, Scorpio!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22–Dec. 21)

Sagittarius, you've been waffling back and forth about taking your next vacation. Now is the time to book it and plan the itinerary with friends. You might be surprised by how many people want to go with you on your next adventure, so ask their opinions on places to visit. You will be thrilled by where they choose to go and what they opt to see.

Capricorn (Dec. 21-Jan. 19)

Capricorn, you've lost track of your spending over the last several months. Although you usually can manage, you're receiving the bills from your credit card companies at once that are weighing heavily on your bank account. Try to pay off as much as you can, but you also might want to consider consolidating your debt to find a compromise that works best for you.

Aquarius (Jan. 19-Feb. 18)

Aquarius, you are currently doing the work to repair relationships that have lost their luster during the recent retrograde. At times, it won't be easy to right the wrongs you've expressed or felt, but with grace and compassion, you'll be able to forge the way to evolving the foundation of these partnerships so you can create a better dynamic with those you care about.

Pisces (Feb. 18-March 20)

Pisces, a surge of energy allows you to create art for yourself and the public. You might find that this is a moment of inspiration, giving you the strength, clarity and determination to carry on and showcase your talents for everyone. The good news is that you'll be able to move towards a productive space which contrasts with the spell you've been under in the past.
