Here’s a breakdown of how the powerful planetary influences we’ve explored are likely to shape the year ahead for each sign:
SUNSIGN & THE SIGN IN THE ASCENDANT
Aries
This may be the most important year of your life Aries. Buckle up and Trust the Universe. With Saturn and Neptune joining forces in your sign, Aries, 2025 is a year of substantial personal and professional reinvention. Saturn asks you to take responsibility for your vision, while Neptune pushes you toward compassionate action and dreams that serve the greater good. The ongoing Jupiter-Saturn square may intensify your desire to build something sustainable while balancing optimism with caution. Ground your dreams in practical steps, as this period offers the potential to redefine your identity and role in the world profoundly.
Taurus
This might be a challenging year Taurus, since you will have to make some important changes, and that’s difficult for you. The Jupiter-Saturn square impacts your sector of shared resources and transformation, pushing you to reassess your financial goals and habits and intimate relationships even if you don’t have them. With Saturn and Neptune conjunct in your twelfth house of endings and inner work, you’re called to confront old patterns and prepare for a spiritual rebirth. Release what no longer serves you, and trust that by doing so, you create space for something far more aligned with your true self. Remember, without risk there’s no growth. Pluto will help in removing from your life what serves purpose anymore.
Gemini
You Start the year with Jupiter in your sign until the June. Cash up on this extra optimism and opportunities coming your way. But, Jupiteris in a Square to Saturn which highlights tensions in relationships and your approach to personal freedom. Saturn and Neptune’s conjunction in your house of social networks brings opportunities for collaboration based on shared ideals, yet asks you to take a realistic look at your alliances. This is a time to align your goals with those who inspire and support you in meaningful ways, building a vision that’s both idealistic and pragmatic. There is a powerful call to spend more time alone to find your true calling and identity. Pluto will help you by bringing an annoyance about superficiality and desire of more wholesome relationships.
Cancer
You have gone through a lot of changes in the past few years, and now it’s the time to act upon this new gained vision. This year, the Jupiter-Saturn square affects your work and health sectors, emphasizing balance between professional ambition and well-being. Saturn and Neptune’s conjunction in your career sector marks a significant shift, offering a chance to create a career path that fulfills not just material needs but also a deeper calling. Let intuition guide your actions as you set professional foundations rooted in both personal authenticity and service. Remember that the “home” you are looking for resides within your soul.
Leo
You start the year with a retrograde of Mars in your sign back to Cancer. It will return to your sign in June, which might make your frustrations and anger sometimes difficult to manage and with Jupiter-Saturn squaring off in your areas of creativity and belief systems, you’re being pushed to refine how you express yourself and align with your evolving worldview. Saturn and Neptune’s conjunction in your philosophical sector encourages you to embrace a vision for the future rooted in meaning and purpose. Explore new forms of knowledge, travel, or spiritual practices that fuel your creative fire and broaden your understanding. Consider teaching what you have learnt or to transform your life completely based in this new vision.
Virgo
2024 has not been an easy year, and 2025 will bring its challenges as well. The Jupiter-Saturn square impacts your foundations, asking you to navigate family dynamics and personal security with a pragmatic approach. Saturn and Neptune’s conjunction in your eighth house of transformation invites deep healing, particularly regarding your emotional and financial partnerships. Trust in the process of letting go, as doing so allows you to form connections and commitments that support true intimacy and resilience. Dare to let go of old patterns and expectations that block your creativity and dare to take some risks.
Libra
You have gone through profound and pivotal changes in the past few years and now it’s time to Reinvent yourself and your work. For Libra, the Jupiter-Saturn square plays out in your communication and partnership zones, requiring careful navigation of how you relate and communicate. Saturn and Neptune conjunct in your partnership sector in Aries make this a significant year for relationships, offering a fresh start built on shared dreams and concrete commitments. Be mindful of idealism, and build connections that support both freedom and accountability, particularly with yourself.
Scorpio
In your extraordinary quest for understanding the human mind and what makes us act the way we do, your ruler Pluto, will challenge you to let go of family and culture ways of thinking to discover your true self and desires. This year, the Jupiter-Saturn square influences your financial sector, prompting careful planning and budgeting. The Saturn-Neptune conjunction in Aries aligns with your daily routines, health, and work life, pushing you to find balance between service to others and nurturing your well-being. Set up routines that support your highest ideals while remaining adaptable to shifting circumstances.
Sagittarius
This is a truly challenging period of your life, but remember that the friction that Saturn brings into our lives help us get to the gold. Carl Jung said: "Responsibility is what turns the stone into a jewel". With Jupiter in Gemini in opposition to your Sun sign squaring Saturn, you’ll feel the tension between personal growth and realistic limitations. But the opportunities will be there, so pay attention. Saturn and Neptune’s conjunction in Aries illuminates your creative and romantic life, offering a chance to infuse dreams with structure and purpose. Embrace your passions and create with intention, grounding your ideas in a reality that supports sustained growth.
Capricorn
You know better than anyone what the last 16 years of Pluto in your sign meant. Life has completely transformed. Now it’s time to build based on this new way of seeing. There’s no going back. The Jupiter-Saturn (your ruler) square challenges your approach to home and career, calling for balance and compromise. Saturn and Neptune’s conjunction in your foundational fourth house could inspire a move, a family realignment, or deeper connection to your roots. Ground yourself in a solid foundation, whether it’s a physical home or a new approach to inner stability, as this is a period of personal renewal. Júpiter in Cancer from June, will bring the opportunities you have been waiting for, Saturn in Aries will keep your feet on the ground even more.
Aquarius
You are for a transformational journey like never before for the next 19 years. Finally what you were dreaming of consciously or unconsciously is here for you to grasp. There might be some challenges on the way, but you will surprise yourself greatly. The Jupiter-Saturn square affects communication and travel, pushing you to clarify how you express yourself and approach learning. Saturn and Neptune’s conjunction in Aries encourages you to blend intellect with empathy, grounding your ideas in real-world impact. Explore new forms of knowledge or community connections that allow you to express your idealism in a way that’s both creative and purposeful.
Pisces
This 2025 might be one of the most remarkable years all your life, with new windows of opportunity coming your way. And in spite of the Jupiter-Saturn square highlighting your financial goals, urging careful management of resources and future planning which is not that easy for you, the Saturn and Neptune’s conjunction in Aries in your financial house offers the opportunity to redefine your relationship with material security and values. Build a stable financial foundation that aligns with your ideals and allows for sustainable growth and creativity. Being in touch with the more materialistic side of life, doesn’t mean to be less spiritual or compassionate.
ABOUT CRISTINA LAIRD
Astrology has been a lifelong calling for me, something I’ve felt deeply connected to for as long as I can remember. At 28, I decided to study it seriously and moved to London, where I joined Liz Greene’s Centre for Psychological Astrology (CPA), alongside incredible minds like Howard Sasportas, Nick Campion, and Robert Hand. Here, I found my calling, and eventually I began to explore the intersections of astrology and psychology more deeply in my practice. This realization led me to train intensively in psychotherapy, psychodrama, and psychodance over the next 15 years, eventually adding shamanism to my path which, of course, transformed my approach to the practice of astrology forever.
