The Astrology Forecast January 2025 shows an unusual start to an unusual year. 2025 is ushering in energetic changes that we have never experienced. They will ultimately be energizing, empowering, and emboldening. But first, we’ve got matters to address.
Astrology Forecast January 2025 – Serious Energetic Changes
Listen to Astrologer Kathy Biehl discuss the Astrology Forecast January 2025.
On the plus side, kindness, compassion, and magic are in the air. With Venus in Pisces from January 2 on, people are inclined to see the best in each other. She’ll be softening our interactions through February 4 and again from the end of March through April during her coming retrograde.
On the trickier side, the month and the year greet us with a major task or three. All involve revising our relationships to power, to community, to technology, and to the dynamics that are evolving in and around us. All are courtesy of Pluto at the doorway to Aquarius.
The one that promises to grab our attention unmistakably is the first: the opposition from Mars to Pluto on January 3. Mars is retrograde, taking us all on an inward journey and pushing us to revisit, rework, and redo past actions. This opposition is profound and fierce, summoning archetypal-level secrets and impulses and power games. The god of war is confronting the god of death and rebirth, in the sign of the collective, in the sign of technology, in the sign of the future.
This isn’t their first showdown. They opposed each other on November 3, at the end of Cancer and Capricorn. Something – possibly from that time- is up for more than re-examination and more likely for tearing down and doing over.
Mars and Pluto will oppose once more on April 26.
The immediate fallout affects relationships and how we proceed in general, with Mercury’s inconjunct with Mars pushing existing arrangements and messaging out of whack and requiring adjustments.
As the month progresses, we get clearer and clearer about not only what to do but also the evolution that’s up for each of us. After entering Aquarius on January 19, the Sun meets Pluto two days later, and each of us undergoes a personal phoenix moment, burning down our concept of self and emerging renewed.
A similar fate awaits our thought processes and patterns, as well as our information streams, technology, and vehicles. After Mercury moves into Aquarius on January 27, he meets with Pluto two days later, at the Aquarius New Moon. Realizations, revelations, and messages are profound and potentially life-altering. Candor is the way to go; this pairing encourages (perhaps to the point of requiring it) brutal openness (Although Venus in Pisces advocates for loving variety).
As we navigate this path to the future, the month provides multiple points to enlist the adulting properties of Saturn and steady ourselves, our minds, and our feet. While shockwaves are resounding from the Mars/Pluto opposition, look for opportunities to take control of whatever you can, even if only yourself. (Thank the Sun sextiling Saturn on January 4.)
Thinking turns to the concrete and practical, with an eye for ramifications, when Mercury travels through Capricorn January 8 – 27. The information flow may slow; it may break into manageable bites; it will be slanted to real-world impact.
Expect more tweaking in viewership trends (good luck, corporate media) when Mercury inconjuncts Jupiter on January 16. Commitment is the way of the world when Venus meets Saturn on January 18 and shows that even mermaids, poets, and dreamers can find a way to live down here on terra firma.
Take advantage of these stabilizing moments as the vibe of revisiting and redoing persists. Mars retrogrades back into Cancer on January 6 and spends the rest of the month retracing steps he made in October.
The send-off day has a weirdly Mercury retrograde vibe to it, with Mercury at the end of Sagittarius squaring Neptune and unleashing puffs of confusion and worse. They affect actions and the do-over process when Mars retrogrades back to a trine to Neptune on January 12, echoing the end of October. You might feel divinely guided; you might do things without realizing what is at the steering wheel; the actions of some people may make you wonder if they’ve lost their minds. Fortunately, lightning clears the air with the Sun trining quick-change artist Uranus on January 12.
Protective instincts are high with Mars near the Cancer Full Moon on January 13. We’re advocating, even fighting, for home and family and the ones we love. (Which could channel into time in the kitchen. Lots of time in the kitchen.)
Second looks deliver sudden insights when Mercury and Mars contact Uranus on January 23. Unconventional approaches are possible, from Mars’ sextile to Uranus, while epiphanies and stunning info rain down from Mercury’s trine to the cosmic change agent.
Movement immediately flows – with desires meeting follow through and relationships taking on harmony and cooperation, as Venus trines retrograde Mars on January 25. They’ve got fresh air, too, with new approaches, new opportunities, and unexpected developments wafting through when she sextiles Uranus on January 26.
By month’s end, we’re facing the future and making plans for it. The redos and rediscoveries and phoenix moments and epiphanies and hard conversations find a resting place in the Aquarius New Moon on January 29. The sign’s ruler, Uranus, stations direct the next day and signals more changes to come.
