Horoscope January 2025. In addition to the usual January transits in Capricorn and Aquarius, we are also witnessing an astral event with long-term impact: the Lunar Nodes change axis, crossing Virgo and Pisces until August 2026. We will thus witness an emphasis of the theme of Pisces, a sign that urges empathy, unity, overall perspectives.
Against the backdrop of transits through Capricorn, January urges a sober and realistic attitude, oriented towards laborious projects that require perseverance and rigor. A predisposition towards austerity and stoicism accompanies these weeks. After January 19, we enter a chapter of the year characterized by innovation and originality. Transits through Aquarius make their mark on a collective level and awaken mass phenomena, group initiatives, the need for freedom and progress.
Let’s follow the sequence of the main transits and aspects throughout January!
Venus in Pisces: the idealization of love
The first notable event of the beginning of the year is the entry of Venus into Pisces, its exaltation sign, on January 3. We more easily see the divine side in others and notice that we are constantly interconnected with beings throughout the universe. We are inclined towards artistic pursuits and come into contact with people who bring an extra sophistication to our lives. We value artistic and spiritual aspects and choices with financial impact.

Horoscope January 2025. Mars retrograde (Leo) in opposition to Pluto (Aquarius): extremes of power
The beginning of the new year is also under the imprint of a tense aspect between retrograde Mars and Pluto, two planets that can be uncomfortable and pressing. It is time to tap into reserves of will and determination hidden deep within us. Individual strength must be matched with transformations at the collective level. We can see profound upheavals of courage and irritation in ordinary people as large systems reveal their bottlenecks and abuses of power.
Mars retrograde in Cancer: reactions dictated by memories
Between 6.01-24.02 Mars retrogrades in Cancer. The internalized, contemplative style of action dictated by the downgrade is maintained, but the focus shifts to the personal life, places and people we associate with the roots. Older family conflicts can be reactivated, to which we can also give a more detached solution adapted to the present. Initiatives with origins in the past can become urgent, impossible to postpone further. Intimate spaces help us recalibrate.

Mercury in Capricorn: mature thinking
Between January 8-28, Mercury transits the sign of Capricorn. We can take advantage of this interval to develop improved procedures that are applicable in the long term and on a large scale. Individuals capable of making a patient effort to learn thoroughly stand out. We tend towards a more sober but effective communication. AstroDex advises to be alert to the tendency towards pessimism, materialistic thinking and lack of spontaneity.
Venus (Pisces) square Jupiter (Gemini): excesses of generosity
Horoscope January 2025. On January 14, the quadrature on mutable signs between Venus and Jupiter is perfected. Trying to keep in touch with as many people as possible can make it difficult to keep our commitments to everyone. We can encounter some inconveniences related to the lack of measure of those around us. While some excesses can become really problematic, there is still a need to appreciate the pleasant, relaxing and charming side of life.
Horoscope January 2025. Sun (Capricorn) in opposition to retrograde Mars (Cancer): uncomfortable retreats
The Sun’s opposition to retrograde Mars around January 16 suggests the build-up of tension in relationships. The authoritative, disciplined, pragmatic ones face the fearful and self-protective spirit of others. Ideally, we can use this context to build defense strategies to prevent a repeat of past problems. For others, it may be time to impose their will on older family conflicts.
Venus conjunct Saturn (Pisces): love and rules
Venus and Saturn reach exact conjunction on January 19. The aspect between the two planets speaks about the importance of empathy and unconditional acceptance of those around you, but also about rigor, limits, maturity. Lessons about victimhood and realism in relationships can emerge. It’s time for some purchases for pleasure and beauty, but they should be done responsibly, possibly taking advantage of price discounts. Age speaks for itself.
Horoscope January 2025. Sun in Aquarius: to be free
On January 19, the Sun enters the sign of Aquarius. We become aware of aspects of our personality that can indicate us as reformers, rebels, free spirits. We place ourselves at the center of groups and entourages that share our style and ideals. It’s time to identify with those networks of like-minded people. Conversely, it is possible to witness acts of rebellion that, instead of liberating us, shock and go beyond the limits of the natural.
Mercury in Aquarius: non-conformist ideas
Between 28.01-14.02, Mercury crosses the sign of Aquarius. Large-scale intellectual projects are set in motion. Contexts are created that help us assimilate new information in technological fields. We are oriented towards a novel approach to mental processes, so that we can understand things from new perspectives. Ingenious solutions can emerge from this experimental approach to data.
Lunar nodes on the Virgo-Pisces axis: perfectionism versus idealism
Between 29.01.2025-18.08.2026, the Lunar Nodes cross the Virgo-Pisces axis. This period draws our attention to the exaggeration of critical behaviors and chronic dissatisfaction. We are encouraged to explore the path of empathy and holistic perceptions, which help us feel spiritually and emotionally interconnected with others. It is time, at the same time, to recognize and correct illusions, vices, the state of victimization.

Uranus (Taurus) in direct motion: new changes
On January 30, Uranus returns to direct motion after five months of retrograde in the sign of Taurus. This period helped us to discover new reserves of rebellion, manifested by a firm steadfastness in the face of attempts at manipulation. From the end of January, we can effectively apply this defiance externally, being more active in promoting freedom and equality for all. AstroDex recommends looking for groups with whom we can actively progress.
Horoscope January 2025. Sun (Aquarius) trine Jupiter (Gemini): the joy of living
The end of this month brings to the fore a harmonious aspect between the Sun and Jupiter. It’s time to expand our horizons, trust ourselves and our friends, travel and enjoy the positive sides of life. Those who seek knowledge and wisdom are encouraged. We can feel lucky, but it is good to avoid excesses and keep our reason in the choices we have to make.
