Aries 2025 Monthly Horoscope

Happy New Year!

In January, your ruling planet, Mars, is in retrograde, which may lead some Aries to feel a decrease in ambition or drive. If you experience this, be gentle with yourself and acknowledge your feelings. Meanwhile, Venus shifts into whimsical Pisces, bringing spiritual clarity.

As Mars retrograde moves into your comfort-focused 4th House, you’ll find yourself drawn to relaxation at home. A full moon in Cancer invites you to unwind in your space. When Aquarius season begins, you’ll feel especially social, and the new moon in Aquarius, which coincides with the Lunar New Year, will be a vibrant time for socializing. Additionally, Uranus, the unconventional planet, will end its retrograde and go direct in your financial sector.

In December, Mars went retrograde and will remain so until February. This retrograde may cause some Aries to notice changes in their libido, and you might feel less ambitious than usual. Instead of rushing to achieve more, you may find joy in creative pursuits. Early 2025 is a great time to explore your hobbies rather than focus on promotions—those will come later.

On Thursday, January 2, Vesta, the asteroid of spirituality, enters passionate Scorpio, creating an opportunity for deeper self-connection through various aspects of sexuality. Regardless of your relationship status, this may inspire you to explore personal pleasures, such as using a sex toy or indulging in self-care routines. However, be aware that Mars will oppose transformative Pluto on the same day, resulting in potential tension. It’s a good start to the year for rest and self-care at home.

The early days of January are highly spiritual, with Venus moving into mystical Pisces on Friday, January 3. This transit highlights your 12th House, making it an ideal time to delve into tarot and connect with your ancestry. You might also consider starting a dream journal. On Monday, January 6, as Mars retrograde enters your 4th House, you’ll feel an even stronger urge to chill at home.

January is characterized by coziness. The Cancer full moon on Monday, January 13, shines in your 4th House. While full moons can be breathtaking, they can also be draining; mark this day on your calendar for a low-key approach. Be mindful, as full moons may sometimes lead to tensions.

When community-focused Aquarius season arrives on Sunday, January 19, prioritize your friendships. It might be wise to inform any romantic partners that spending time with friends will take precedence in the upcoming weeks. On Monday, January 27, as Mercury enters Aquarius, expect lighthearted chats and gossip with friends. Remember, gossip can be a healthy way to share information when approached positively.

While the full moon earlier in the month calls for relaxation at home, January 29 opens up a more social atmosphere. You could find an opportunity to connect with new or old friends during the Aquarius new moon, which also marks the Lunar New Year, heralding the Year of the Snake—best celebrated with loved ones.

On Thursday, January 30, Uranus will end its retrograde and move direct in your financial house. While you should still consider practical advice over astrological insights for financial decisions, Uranus going direct is often associated with clarity regarding work and finances. This transition encourages you to reflect on your career choices and decide on your next steps with newfound insight.
