HAPPY 2025!
Now that Pluto, the snail of the zodiac, has moved into Aquarius for good, the other slower-moving planets will be doing the same this year. Since Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune all move at different speeds, it’s rare for them to all shift signs in the same year. The shifts will be temporary since these planets also will turn retrograde and slip back into the signs where they were until 2026. But these shifts will allow us a peek into the energies that are headed our way.
Two of these planets – Saturn and Neptune- will enter Aries briefly this year. Both of these planets will be moving into a fire sign from Pisces, a water sign. Aries, ruled by Mars, is the first sign of the zodiac, a kind of fearless warrior of change that will help define this new era.
Uranus has been in earth sign Taurus since May 15 2018. It takes seven years to transit a single sign and it wasn’t particularly comfortable in Taurus. We saw evidence of its resistance to change in everything from Covid vaccines, to the integrity of elections to and the advance of AI.
The planet governs the unpredictable, the unforeseen, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, explosions, technology, innovation, genius. From July 7 to November 7 in 2025, Uranus will transit Gemini and provide us with a taste of what we’ll experience from August 25, 2026 to August 3, 2032 and also from December 12 2032 to May 22, 2023.
Mid-term elections will take place during that first run of Uranus through Gemini and so will the next presidential election. By then, abrupt, unforeseen change will be the operative words.
But for now, let’s take a look at what’s coming up for January 2025.
