Welcome to your future! Aquarius season (January 19 and February 17) is giving you insight into the themes that will be relevant in your life in 2025 and future years. Powerful Pluto entered Aquarius in mid-November, but as the sun and Mercury activate Pluto’s transformative powers on January 21 and January 29, respectively, you’re truly now being shown how your life, as well as your priorities, are evolving.
Mars’ retrograde, while continuing to reshape your feelings and desires until February 23, is keeping part of your focus on wrapping up stories from the past. You might feel this deeply at the January 29 Aquarius new moon, which sends lucky beams to retrograde Jupiter. An opportunity that passed you by in the past could suddenly reappear now, bringing a deeply healing moment for your mind and heart. Uranus—the planet of brilliance and freedom—ends its retrograde on January 30, bringing surprises and exciting twists of events between now and February 11. To make the best of the opportunities, it’s crucial to stay flexible during this Aquarius season. This will be especially true around the time both Mercury and the sun square off with Uranus on February 10 and February 11.
The great news is that adopting a positive mindset is easiest as the season progresses thanks to lucky Jupiter preparing to end its four-month retrograde on February 4. You’re feeling your luck slowly coming back, and it could come in the form of a new friend, lover, or financial opportunity. Right around this time, a dreamy trio—Venus, Neptune, and the lunar North Node—aligns in Pisces. A destined meeting of the hearts could be in the cards as you welcome February!
Aquarius season does end on a loud note as the full moon shines in Leo on February 12. New insights and developments might put your mind and heart at odds—and while it might be tempting to listen to your brain, following your gut is the way to go. With the North Node traveling in Pisces for the next eighteen months, you’re being invited to make more room for your feelings as well as intuition.
Aries
Aquarius season tends to be a social time for you, and while you’ll feel like surrounding yourself with friends, you’ll also crave solitude and quiet moments, Aries. Mars, your planet, is retrograde in sensitive Cancer now, bringing back people and memories from your past and perhaps your childhood. You’ll feel this energy the most around February 3, when you’re presented with the opportunity to clear the air with what was once a hurtful situation.
A lineup of planets in your zone of the subconscious mind (January 30 to February 1) has you caught up in your dreams—both sleeping and waking! Perhaps you’re fantasizing about a vacation or finding your ideal partner. On February 4, Venus enters your sign, making you a hot commodity for the next three weeks. By the time the February 12 full moon arrives, you might already be chatting with a new prospect.
Taurus
Aquarius season is a time to invest more thought and effort in your career, Taurus. However, with transformative Pluto activated in this area of your life on January 21 and January 29, you’re seeing shifts and new energies emerge. Brilliant ideas—some crazy, some truly innovative—are swirling around your brain at the January 29 new moon. This is when Uranus goes direct in your sign, accelerating the stagnant energy you’ve been feeling.
By the time Jupiter also awakens from its nap on February 4, a money-making opportunity could arise or return for a second chance. Your planet, Venus, will be strong starting January 25, helping you bring dreams to reality. Do keep in mind, however, that dreams are fluid and malleable—and to fully embrace them, you’ll need to stay flexible and open-minded, especially as the season comes to a close.
Gemini
The season ahead has some sweet gifts for you, Gemini. The lunar North Node is now in your career sector, directing the celestial tide toward your career for the next twelve months. A new door, opportunity, or pathway could open for you between January 19 and February 4. Even with Mars still retrograde, this month’s January 29 new moon could feel like an absolute blessing, reopening the possibility to collaborate with someone or even meet a romantic interest that seems to have faded into the background.
Starting February 4, life begins to accelerate as Jupiter ends its retrograde in your sign, helping you expand in the direction of your dreams. Book a brainstorming session on your calendar for February 9, which is when the Mercury cazimi could whisper exciting new ideas for you to implement in the new year.
Cancer
Mars continues its retrograde journey through your sign, Cancer, but its vibe changes this season. You’re now able to see and feel what’s shifted both on the outside and the inside, especially around January 25, when Venus harmonizes with Mars, bringing feelings of compassion. Seeing a previously painful situation with new eyes is now possible. This helps you break a relationship pattern and make room for healing before Mars squares off with wound-healing Chiron on February 3.
This season, you’re in for some meaningful epiphanies that could change the direction of your life as planets end their retrogrades. On February 4, Jupiter deepens your desire to live a more spiritually aligned life, which might influence your relationships as well as the romantic partners you choose in the future.
Leo
Eye-opening revelations are in store this season as you become aware of how deeply your relationships are changing, Leo. Expect juicy insights on January 21 and January 29, in particular.
A new romantic or business relationship could begin to take shape at the January 29 new moon. On February 4, Jupiter going direct is restoring your social luck, something you’ve probably been missing for the past few months.
February 12 brings this year’s full moon in your sign, which puts you in the spotlight and might even bring a surprise or two! A job request might require you to shift your daily routine—luckily, you’ve learned to be flexible, and as you head toward 2025, you’re coming to the end of this journey.
Virgo
Aquarius season tends to be a busy and productive time for you, Virgo. This year, however, you’re being invited to conserve your energy while the South Node swims through your sign. You’ll feel this need strongly on January 25, February 7, February 12, and February 14. As a health-focused sign, you love to set new resolutions for yourself and might want to harness this month’s January 29 new moon to make any adjustments to your diet, wellness, and exercise routine.
This year, Valentine’s Day comes early for you! On February 1, Venus and Neptune kiss in your sphere of partnership, bringing sweetness to your relationships. If committed, this would be a great day to spend time together. If you are single, making plans with a date or close friends ensures you’ll have a good time.
Libra
The season will require patience on your end, Libra. Mars’ retrograde through your career sector might slow down your productivity while you feel the need to review certain projects or processes around January 20, January 27, and February 3. On a more emotional level, you might notice intense conversations between your peers as past situations return for closure or resolution. Luckily, Venus in Pisces until February 3 will help you flow and adapt to the changes that transpire.
On a much more fun side, your social and romantic life will be brimming with activity. Around January 21, January 27, and February 9, you could meet new people, and some of them might even be powerful catalysts for your personal growth down the road. Lover Venus enters Aries on February 4, bringing closeness with your favorite people for the next three weeks.
Scorpio
This season, a lot of your focus will be on your home and family, Scorpio. Deep conversations could take place on January 23, inviting you to see an important situation in a new light. If you’re single, a blast from the past could be in store between January 25 and February 1, when Venus lights up your romance sector. Alternatively, your creativity could be ignited now, awakening your desire to experiment with self-expressive activities or outlets.
January 30 is an important date as unpredictable Uranus wakes up from its long retrograde. This could bring significant aha moments regarding your emerging desires within an important relationship around February 10. The need to be flexible and switch gears will be key as the February 12 full moon arrives—it’s time to put into action all the career learnings you’ve accumulated in the past few years.
Sagittarius
Communication is strongly highlighted for you this season, Sagittarius. You might be deep in writing, podcasting, or research mode between January 21 and January 29, when the sun and Mercury activate your powerful mind and voice. Uranus—the planet of genius and unpredictable energy—will supercharge your mind on January 30, February 10, and at the February 12 full moon. Keep a notebook handy, as insights you receive could prove valuable, especially if you’ve been searching for out-of-the-box ideas for complex problems.
Your best news this season, however, is your planet (Jupiter) waking up from its retrograde on February 4. Your legendary and effortless luck returns now after a few months of slow action and considerable setbacks. If you’re involved in either a romantic or business partnership, you can expect more flow within this bond.
Capricorn
A busy season awaits, dear Capricorn! The January 23 Mercury-Mars face-off heats up conversations when old feelings might surface in an important relationship. If these talks are revisited around February 3, stay open-minded to find healing in this relationship. Starting January 27, Mercury enters your financial sector, turning your attention toward money matters for the rest of the season. You might be spending, formulating budgets, and perhaps setting new financial goals for the year around the fortunate January 29 new moon.
On February 4, Venus begins its yearly three–week tour in your home sector, bringing sweetness to your interactions with your partner, family, and even roommates. This would be a lucky time to make any changes to your environment, like redecorating or beautifying a space that is in need of a makeover.
Aquarius
Happy birthday, Aquarius! This time around the sun, you’re feeling serious about making considerable changes in your life that will eventually propel you to a more refined and powerful version of yourself. You’ll notice this on January 21 and January 27, when Pluto’s transformative powers are activated in your sign. The January 29 new moon is yours and one of your best 2025 opportunities to set intentions for the year ahead. Carrying a lucky vibration, this lunar event could bring the rekindling of a romance or creative project back into your life.
The season comes to an end with the loud February 12 Leo full moon, which requires flow and adaptability on your end. A project or situation that has been stuck for some time now could suddenly move forward, moving the needle in career development.
Pisces
You have an exciting season ahead, Pisces. For you, Aquarius season is normally a time to rest, relax, and recharge—however, at times, you’ll be feeling like doing the exact opposite. Venus traveling in your sign until February 3 brings connection and attention, placing you in the spotlight. If you’ve been working toward the materialization of a dream, it could become true during the February 1 meeting between Venus and Neptune. Either way, this is an ideal day to daydream, plan, and envision your future!
On February 4, Jupiter going direct returns your luck in your home sector, too. If you’ve been considering buying a new home, extending your family, or creating the perfect abode, you receive help starting now all the way to the summer of 2025.
