What makes 2025 such a massive year for change is not that the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars are on the move for that is always the case and even when apart from the Sun they turn retrograde, it will only ever be for a few weeks or months and they are back on the move again. It is the slower outer planets that don’t move and will remain a constant fixture for years if not decades that are on the move this year. This is the background that stays the same while everything else keeps moving. If even one outer planet leaves a sign and returns to another this will represent a year where there is considered to be significant change, for this is going to change the landscape itself. What makes 2025 such an extraordinary year is that it is not just one of the outer planets that are on the move but all of them. Every single one and it has already started. Pluto, who had been in your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery since 2008 began making moves to transition out and return to your career sector in early 2023. After a half hearted attempt, Pluto tried again last year and managed to spend over seven months in your career sector before retrograding back out again. By the time you move into the New Year, Pluto has been back in your career sector for six weeks and he is here now for the next 20 years. This has seen Pluto partner back up with Jupiter in your income sector, with the planet of luck and expansion’s quest for income growth and expansion not ending until 10th June. This is when Jupiter will return to your communication sector, beginning a big year for all aspects of communication. The other big moves involve Saturn and Neptune, who will leave your sector of friendship, teamwork and networking and return to a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart, Neptune on 31st March and Saturn on 25th May. Saturn will retrograde back out again on 1st September and Neptune on 22nd October, as they begin to transition into both the wind down of your current three decades long Saturn cycle and to spend more time on your dreams. The last major move will come on 7th July, when after nearly six years in Taurus Uranus, the planet that is all about our personal truth while able to work through the laws of synchronicity to put things on the right path, will finally leave. This will see Uranus begin his transition into your income sector where from the start he will team up with Pluto in your career sector, making this not just a big year on both fronts but until he leaves in 2033.
On both the romantic and relationship fronts there are two distinct but overlapping chapters. The first is the ordinary planetary activity, which on the romantic front will run from Mars’ return to your romantic sector on 17th June to Venus’ departure on 14th October. On the relationship front, this will run from Mars’ return to your relationship sector on 22nd September to Mercury’s departure on 25th December. Before that, it will be a Full Moon in your romantic sector on 14th March and another in your relationship sector on 13th May that will give both a boost. However, in addition, there are some larger and overlapping themes in play. The first is on the relationship front, where you not only begin the year with the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment and especially commitment to your relationships in your relationship sector but even when she leaves on 20th February, she will retrograde back in again from 15th April to 1st October. When Juno returned last November, it was for the first time in four years and with the Sun here at the time, she has stayed on to help keep your relationships on track. Juno will still be here when Mars returns to your relationship sector on 22nd September, with a chance for the planet of passion and the warrior planet of the cosmos to take over from there. Meanwhile, it is the Full Moon in your romantic sector on 14th March that holds a clue to what is happening on the romantic front. This is a Full Moon that will always fall halfway between the Sun’s last visit to your romantic sector and the next and at the least active point in the year on the romantic front, this is designed to give matters of the heart a boost. However, this will be no ordinary Full Moon but a total lunar eclipse, which can only happen when a Full Moon falls close to one of the lunar nodes. In this case, the South Node, whose return on 12th January will also turn a New Moon on 22nd September into a solar eclipse. This will be the second of two ordinary New Moons, with the first on 23rd August and just after the Sun’s return. The South Node is here until July 2025, with more eclipses next year and with the element of fate now in play.
While there is enough planetary activity in your financial sector this year, the side of the financial fence where it is more about what you do with and how you manage the money you have to stay on top of money matters, the real action is on the income side of the financial fence. Even then, while starting the year with Jupiter, the planet of luck and expansion still in your income sector and halfway through your biggest year for income growth and expansion in over a decade is already a big deal, things are set to take a major and extraordinary turn for the better. The faster planets move through your income sector once a year and for you, as a base line the most lucrative months of any year will usually be May and June, for that is when the Sun moves through. Jupiter’s return in May 2024 took this to a whole new level while keeping things ticking over since then. Jupiter has been on his own since September 2024 and a retrograde turn a month later shifted the focus onto the past. As you move into 2025 Jupiter is still in retrograde motion and will be until 4th February, so you might not see much movement, though the doors will be open to the past, second chances and untapped potential. It is the Sun’s return to your income sector on 21st May that will put the solar spotlight on your income situation, matters and options. This is when the push to make the most of Jupiter’s final weeks before leaving on 10th June will kick in, with Mercury adding his smart head for money to the mix when he moves through from 26th May to 9th June. With Jupiter leaving a day later and the Sun on 21st June, for the first time in 13 months, this will leave your income sector empty and it should stay that way. This should be as good as it gets, but this will move to a whole new level when held back by a retrograde phase earlier in the year Venus, the planet of money, desire and attraction will return to begin what she will always work to make the most lucrative weeks of any year on 5th July. However, the game changer will come two days later, when on 7th July Uranus, the planet of surprise, synchronicity and the unexpected will return to your income sector for the first time in eight decades. Uranus is only here until retrograding back out on 8th November but will return in April 2026 and then not leave until 2033. To have Venus here at the birth of a new era and in time to capitalise on the nearly 13 months Jupiter, the planet of luck and expansion has just spent here could have major implications.
