2025 brings new life, and a much happier you. The first half of 2025, until June 9 to be exact, there is a deepening of intimacy and trust in your life. A relationship may develop more fully, and funds with others increase – it behooves you these first six months of the year to join forces with others. Lucky Jupiter which has been retrograde turns direct in your eighth house of shared finances and intimacy on Tuesday, February 4, and you really see it then. This will give you an intense feeling of relief.
Because it is godly Jupiter’s work, it does not require much effort from you. In fact, it works better if you trust the universe (for once), let go of control, throw up your arms in surrender, let yourself be vulnerable. Let the healing begin! A spiritual component is a vital part of this, so be open to a spiritual teacher, mentor, or therapist coming into your life at the right time.
And you know what? It is going to get a lot easier. Even with Taskmaster Saturn still being a pain in your love life. Saturn is teaching its final lessons in your fifth romance house. Because of the emphasis on your healing, and your requirement for a spiritual helper, your inner psychology will actually undergo the greatest transformation through this year’s love journey or love journeys.
The second half of 2025, after June 9, 2025, lucky Jupiter moves into your ninth house, and here is where you reap the greatest benefits. In the areas of travel, the international, foreign countries, and expanding and broadening your horizons. You fly – far, far away from your daily rut!
But your pressing need in January is tying up loose ends in communications. Have that heart-to-heart. Clear up any misunderstandings. And don’t take too personally what friends or family say. Particularly a sibling, who can be very annoying now.
And you have a wealth of beneficial planets on hand to help you out here!
For in your third house of communications and the internet you have:
Awesome, life-saving Sun
Brilliant Mercury, planet of thought and communication
Ceres, asteroid of nurturing, unconditional love, and transitions
An ambitious new Capricorn Moon on Monday, December 30
There will be some changes in your neighborhood as well after this day, positive ones.
All the areas in your life which your third house, traditionally ruled by versatile Gemini, rules:
Every communication form, but particularly words and writing
Thought
Analysis
The internet
Social media
Self-expression
Movement and speech and short trips
Neighbors and your neighborhood
Siblings, cousins, and pals who act like them
Hands, arms, shoulders
Speed
Your ability to learn
But is there anything you need to watch out for this happy holiday season?
Yes – watch all the short fuses around you. Mars is in retrograde!
Sexy Mars is traditionally the Roman god of war – Ares in the Ancient Greek – and it affects us ALL. Right now, Mars is in a particularly nasty retrograde, making everyone’s fuses extra short, making us impulsive, impatient, fiery, quick to offense (and to offend), and causing outright fights. Avoid confrontation during this retrograde. The retrograde can also make you tired, and you will require more rest. It began December 6 and lasts until February 23, 2025. Our environment is highly charged at this time, and you need to take extra good care of yourself. Take a breath before you speak or react – or post. Stay in peace.
Mars is closer to Earth when it retrogrades so its power is stronger on us. It is not as easy for arguments to blow over or for anger to subside. Mars reaches its peak in the cycle, which is its opposition with the Sun on January16, 2025, midway through the retrograde cycle when Mars is closest to Earth. It will feel like the world is on fire.
Full disclosure: I am most worried about Monday, January 6, an infamous anniversary for the U.S., when retrograde Mars will move into the country’s sun sign of Cancer. I am not looking forward to this day.
YOU need to watch out most for the full Moon of Monday, January 13 in your ninth house of things and people at a distance, as this is when it will be easiest for you to lose your temper.

As committed as you will be to working out and healing your inner life, you must admit there’s been plenty of outside stimuli around you. You are making your way in your new life, and there’s plenty to admire – nothing to criticize. You are doing exactly what you are meant to be doing. As you are saving yourself, please remember this, particularly in light of the current political climate.
And however much you may wish, you cannot save the whole world. You desperately want to shake, or crack, or heal, or change, or wake up, huge sections of the population. You will, through your work and your creativity and your children. But you won’t through saving the world. The world doesn’t care to be pushed. It doesn’t care. The earth will survive anything we do to it. It is we who will disappear. Like a species going extinct.
You are going to have more options available to you in 2025. Saturn is releasing its stranglehold on your love life.
Attached Scorpio, you will be more adored by your partner. Single Scorpio, use this golden window to meet your special someone. Ring in the new year enjoying this, okay, Scorpio? Take a few hours, or days, away from the worry.
The planets have you moving quickly and decisively this January through uncharted waters. It is time for a change. The answer may not be available to you in this moment but it will be abundantly clear to you mid-month. It’s all about in with the new, out with the old. As befits a new year, but even more so YOU, the master of rebirth. Trust your thinking in this direction.
Bluntly put, it’s time to be with your people. The people who turn you on. The people whom you could classify as soul mates. From this lifetime or other past lifetimes. Of course, the career pressure is very intense, and you seem to be thinking about money an awful lot, but not to worry. It does not all have to be sorted out by the end of January!
What will be sorted out in the latter part of January is your home and domestic arrangements.
A full Moon lights up your travel sector on Monday, January 13. I would go for it, Scorpio. You will be more secure in the future if you do what makes you truly happy. The beginning of the new year brings all sorts of invitations and opportunities to your door. The first part of January you may just want to think about it. But by mid-month you are itching to move.
You will keep in touch with some of what you are leaving behind. And remember: change is traumatic by nature. As the old saying goes, ships are safe in harbor, but that is not what ships are built for.
New original ideas are your goldmine this month. Be patient with others who may not “get it” immediately. Similarly with your business decisions – which are brilliant – but others may not be as ready to act as you. Again, give them time and patience.
And finally, love at a distance will reach a crescendo this month! The universe is strongly reminding you that there is more to be had outside of your immediate circle.
Expansion, Scorpio, becomes your middle name. Brava.
P.S. Happy Holidays!
