Overview for this Month: Aquarius (All)
January 2025 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Aquarius:
January starts slowly but later picks up speed, dear Aquarius. Until the 19th, life is a little quieter as it should be. It's time to catch up on your rest, pay more attention to your dreams and intuition, and tie up loose ends that need your attention. While the New Year may not start with a bang for you, from the 18-20 and forward, others pay closer attention. You are more magnetic and personally popular. Some surprises are in store with work and routines. Money matters are in stronger focus and mostly pleasant. Gifts, refunds, or rebates may be forthcoming now.
If your work or daily regimens have become too monotonous and have taken a toll on your spirits, circumstances occurring now push you to make needed changes. With retrograde Mars heading into your solar sixth house from the 6th forward, there can be some snags to deal with regarding work schedules or daily affairs and duties. You might also be losing some enthusiasm or going through the motions, which should change later in February. For now, you can put a lot of energy into fixing problems and revising old work. There may be hidden treasures to be found in old programs, methods, and work projects. However, if you decide to revive something now, it's best to come at it in new ways rather than repeat past mistakes. This portion of the Mars retrograde cycle emphasizes practical and work matters.
January brings a wealth of opportunities for you to boost your income. While there may be a tendency to indulge, go overboard with comfort foods or pleasures, and possibly overspend, this is also a time for potential financial windfalls. You might discover a lost resource or reconnect with someone from your past, adding an exciting twist to your financial and social prospects.
There continues to be a strong focus on the past, healing, processing, and digesting this month, with very little pressure to venture out. While the month picks up the pace as it advances, in the meantime, you have a lot of inner work to do and plenty of help in this regard! In fact, this can be a month of big emotional breakthroughs. You bring fresh energy and an open mind and heart to past problems and your personal relationships. Family is more cooperative or home life is shaping up in pleasing ways. This is a time for learning more about yourself, your heart, and the people closest to you. If you have resisted taking time for reflection or dealing with the past, a recent New Moon in your privacy sector prompts you to take charge.
The 13-15 brings sudden awareness of something that's not working in the world of your work, daily routines, or health, or the need to make adjustments and meet deadlines. These matters can turn a corner, although there may be some hurdles to clear. It can be a time of stronger emotional reactions than usual, which can be very revealing. While it's not the best time to make serious decisions, it's a strong time for observing and getting in touch with buried desires or frustrations that need managing. The need for better time management may be obvious now. You might enjoy focusing on the little things that need your attention, but in the process, don't avoid the bigger issues that won't go away just because you're doing something else.
The Moon's North Node moves into your resources sector this month for a stay of a year and a half. During this cycle, some of your greatest joys and challenges come from learning about your values and self-worth. Personal income and valuables or possessions are in strong focus. You're learning to depend on yourself and establish your self-worth through your own efforts. Fortunately, the rewards for doing so are enormous and transits around January 18th can jumpstart this process. You might even enjoy making a budget, facing a financial situation confidently, or saving money. Certainly, paring down is easier if you have a solid goal in mind. You could be getting serious about a plan or responsibility, and it's satisfying!
The Sun enters your sign on the 19th, kicking off a month-long cycle in which personal influence is strong and personal plans are on the front burner. You naturally come into the spotlight and feel in the driver's seat.
It may not be until the New Moon in your sign on the 29th that you feel confident about moving personal plans forward, but you're redirecting your energies this month and building your self-confidence. The New Moon coincides with Uranus, your ruling planet, ending its retrograde cycle--a further hint that you're reawakening and starting fresh. Stalled or blocked endeavors, particularly around the home, can resume. Plus, you have Mercury heading into your sign, and you're finding your voice. It's a busy, in-demand time.

Aquarius (Born January 21 to 30) and Aquarius Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Aquarius:
January 2025 Aquarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
January 2025
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until January 19th:
The Sun continues to shine its light on your solar twelfth house. This is the time to listen to your intuition, to take a break from the hectic pace of your life, and to reflect on what you have learned in the past year. You might naturally retreat a little and take more private time for yourself now.
Your physical energy levels may not be up to par for the time being, and this is your body signaling you to take a break. This is not an ideal time for pushing forward with new personal projects and plans. It is better to finish up projects and tie up loose ends now.
From January 19th forward:
The Sun illuminates your first house now, bringing issues surrounding your personal identity, appearance, outward behavior, and self-expression to the forefront. This marks the peak of your physical solar cycle, and you are in the position to make an impression on others, and to assert your personal influence. Spontaneity of expression is what this transit is about. You are ready to put your past behind you and to start a new personal cycle. You have presence and you project confidence. Increased energy and a renewed feeling of confidence is with you now, so take advantage.
It's a great month to do something entirely new and pioneering—to go solo in some area of your life. This particular season of the year smiles on your personal endeavors. This is a time when you more easily get in touch with a true sense of your identity and purpose. The most enterprising side of your nature surfaces, and it's time to seize opportunities. Existing problems in your life may be overcome now by bravery and a straightforward approach to your life.
There's nothing wrong with a bit of self-centeredness during this cycle, but avoid taking it too far. It's not the best time for teamwork and other cooperative endeavors. The spotlight is on you and your ability to lead, so make it a good one! Take steps to improve how you come across to others. It's time to carve your own path in life.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until January 2nd:
Venus continues to grace your solar first house now. Something about how you present yourself, your image, and your manner boosts your personal magnetism during this cycle. It's a good time to attract who and what you want into your life experience. You're more charming and you are likely to want to attract things to you indirectly rather than forcefully now, perhaps through charm and playfulness. You have a stronger need to be good to yourself, although a negative expression of this placement can be excessive attention to pampering oneself or taking the easy way out. You especially enjoy making a good impression on others, and peace-making. You might also be paying more attention to beauty and style now.
From January 3rd forward:
Venus transits your solar second house and, as the natural ruler of the second house, Venus feels right "at home" here. This is a rather content position for Venus, although there can be some restlessness when it comes to money and spending it—you are more inclined to want more things around you! Financial security and enjoyment of the good things in life are important to you, although you also value simple pleasures. The ability to relate well with others might enhance your own personal finances during this period. You may find yourself in a position in which there is a blending of financial matters with social or public affairs. This is a stable position for love matters and close relationships. You value those who make you feel comfortable, and familiarity is more important to you than someone new during this cycle.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Until January 8th:
Mercury continues to journey through your solar eleventh house. This is a time when conversations with friends and various networking activities are much appreciated and offer learning experiences. Your ideas just now are especially progressive and unconventional, as you are questioning the rules you typically live by and entertaining some wild ideas.
Not all of these ideas are necessarily going to last or lead to new projects, but it's a time of dreaming up new possibilities and new possible solutions to problems. You are especially interested in spending time with people who are like-minded. Social interactions are more frequent, light, and fun during this cycle.
From January 8th to 27th:
Your mind is focused on private matters and past issues while Mercury transits the twelfth house of your solar chart. This is a time when you are least likely to speak out of turn or to express yourself freely. You're searching behind the curtain, and examining the past for answers.
This is a good time for research, quiet contemplation, and meditation; but do avoid getting dragged down by issues that have outgrown their worth and purpose. Examining the past in order to improve the future is certainly worthwhile, as long as you don't waste your energy on guilt. Creative endeavors could prosper now, particularly those that draw upon the emotions or that require creative visualization skills, such as poetry, art, acting, and other such activities.
You are likely to require a certain amount of solitude in order to get your thoughts together or to be mentally productive. You are less likely to chat indiscriminately during this transit, and tend to be a little secretive or tight-lipped for the time being. This may be important, in fact, because this position of Mercury is sometimes associated with the uncovering of secrets, so discretion may be in order.
From January 28th forward:
With Mercury in your solar first house, you are most inclined to speak up about matters that you previously were only mulling over. Your disposition is more intellectual than usual now, and self-expression comes easily. You are sharper than usual--more observant, and more inclined to "live in the head". Relationships with siblings, neighbors, classmates, and casual friends may become more prominent in your life now.
It is likely that you will initiate discussions during this period, evaluate your appearance and the impact you have on those around you, and make contact with others rather than stay chained to any one place or activity.
This is the time to be direct and to communicate your needs and interests. You are more inclined to talk about yourself and your personal past now. This may also be a restless time when it is difficult to turn the thinking process off when it would be better to relax! It is an especially fruitful time for any endeavor that requires dealing with words, ideas, and facts and figures.
Your demeanor is more youthful, perhaps mischievous, light-hearted, and non-threatening so that others may be more inclined to turn to you for advice or pleasant conversation. Using the power of words to attract what you want or to further your interests works best for you now.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Mars is retrograde all month (from December 6th, 2024, until February 23rd, 2025):
All Mars retrograde cycles affect you in the areas of communication, siblings, neighbors, acquaintances, and transportation. Communication or transportation might take a hit somehow, making it harder to get from point A to point B, for example, or involving missed meetings, delays and red tape, challenges with studies, or mechanical breakdowns. There can be frustration with self-expression or impatience with social niceties.
Retrograde Mars transits your solar seventh and sixth houses during this period. Your enthusiasm for a partnership--or a partner's zeal--can be waning. A significant other is harder to reach or isn't as direct. Partnering projects or initiatives and negotiations could stall, or you're not as confident about expressing yourself one-to-one. Watch for pent-up anger and passive-aggressiveness with partnerships. A partner may be intense or obsessive, or you could experience this in your own behavior. This cycle requires you to reorganize your energy with regard to people and partnerships. You now must reassess how you approach relationships and what you want from your relationships. You are doing critical "work" that can benefit you greatly. Whether instigating, backing off, or coming on too strong, it's a good idea to be more mindful of unhealthy interactions.
Your enthusiasm for work, health pursuits, chores, or daily routines can wane, perhaps due to setbacks or stalling. Work isn't as straightforward or satisfying. New initiatives with these matters appear less exciting, or you aren't as confident about expressing yourself in these areas of life. For some, there can be much preoccupation with your health or work endeavors and frustration with daily routines. Watch for pent-up anger and passive-aggressiveness on the job.
Refocus, backtracking, and review are necessary and recommended now. How you organize your time is in question now.

January 2025 Aquarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
January 2025
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
All month:
The Sun travels through your twelfth house now, marking a time of retreat and regeneration. Think about the attachments you have--to things, people, and routines--and consider which ones are dragging you down. This is a time when competitive energies and the ego are on a bit of a break.
It's not the time to push ahead with brand new projects. Rather, it's a time of reflection, dreaming, and recharging your batteries. Situations that have naturally outgrown their usefulness in your life can now be put behind you. Endings of natural cycles may be part of the picture at this time of year. Your energy is largely applied to personal and private affairs now. Your disposition is introspective. Rest and reflect, and prepare for a more outgoing cycle when the Sun moves into your first house.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure

Aquarius (Born February 10-19) and Aquarius Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Aquarius:
January 2025 Aquarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
January 2025
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until January 9th:
The Sun continues to put a spotlight on your solar eleventh house. During this cycle, you are planting seeds for the future, dreaming up plans that you might begin to develop two months down the road, if they still seem viable then. You are more aware of the benefits of networking, and you might find some great ideas through others now. You might be working in a team now.
You could be questioning some of the rules you have been living by and you could be ready to try something totally new. You are more attracted to that which is progressive or unconventional during this cycle.
From January 10th forward:
The Sun travels through your twelfth house now, marking a time of retreat and regeneration. Think about the attachments you have--to things, people, and routines--and consider which ones are dragging you down. This is a time when competitive energies and the ego are on a bit of a break.

Until January 22nd:
Venus continues to grace your solar first house now. Something about how you present yourself, your image, and your manner boosts your personal magnetism during this cycle. It's a good time to attract who and what you want into your life experience. You're more charming and you are likely to want to attract things to you indirectly rather than forcefully now, perhaps through charm and playfulness.

You value those who make you feel comfortable, and familiarity is more important to you than someone new during this cycle.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
From January 1st to 21st:
Mercury is transiting your solar eleventh house. Your mind is bright, alert, and active during this cycle, and you have the ability to come up with unusual and inventive ideas. Sharing your thoughts with others is a prime interest. Others tend to particularly enjoy your conversations during this transit--you are willing to listen as well as add your own thoughts.
As well, your ability to grasp unusual subject matter and to intuitively understand what others are trying to say win you some brownie points! You could also do a lot of thinking and musing about your own happiness and long-term goals.
From January 21st forward:
Your mind is focused on private matters and past issues while Mercury transits the twelfth house of your solar chart. This is a time when you are least likely to speak out of turn or to express yourself freely. You're searching behind the curtain, and examining the past for answers.
This is a good time for research, quiet contemplation, and meditation; but do avoid getting dragged down by issues that have outgrown their worth and purpose. Examining the past in order to improve the future is certainly worthwhile, as long as you don't waste your energy on guilt. Creative endeavors could prosper now, particularly those that draw upon the emotions or that require creative visualization skills, such as poetry, art, acting, and other such activities.
You are likely to require a certain amount of solitude in order to get your thoughts together or to be mentally productive. You are less likely to chat indiscriminately during this transit, and tend to be a little secretive or tight-lipped for the time being. This may be important, in fact, because this position of Mercury is sometimes associated with the uncovering of secrets, so discretion may be in order.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Mars is retrograde all month (from December 6th, 2024, until February 23rd, 2025):
All Mars retrograde cycles affect you in the areas of communication, siblings, neighbors, acquaintances, and transportation. Communication or transportation might take a hit somehow, making it harder to get from point A to point B, for example, or involving missed meetings, delays and red tape, challenges with studies, or mechanical breakdowns. There can be frustration with self-expression or impatience with social niceties.
Occurring in your solar sixth house during this date range, enthusiasm for your work or health regimes, or for work projects and daily routines, could wane perhaps due to setbacks or stalling. Work itself could seem to be less straightforward or satisfying. New initiatives with these matters may appear less exciting, or you could find that you are less confident about expressing yourself in these areas of life. For some, there can be much preoccupation with your health or work endeavors, and possibly frustration with daily routines. Watch for pent-up anger and passive-aggressiveness on the job. Refocus, backtracking, and review become necessary and recommended now. This Mars retrograde emphasizes practical and work matters. How you organize your time is in question now.
Overview Horoscope:
January 2025 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Aquarius:
January starts slowly but later picks up speed, dear Aquarius. Until the 19th, life is a little quieter as it should be. It's time to catch up on your rest, pay more attention to your dreams and intuition, and tie up loose ends that need your attention. While the New Year may not start with a bang for you, from the 18-20 and forward, others pay closer attention. You are more magnetic and personally popular. Some surprises are in store with work and routines. Money matters are in stronger focus and mostly pleasant. Gifts, refunds, or rebates may be forthcoming now.
If your work or daily regimens have become too monotonous and have taken a toll on your spirits, circumstances occurring now push you to make needed changes. With retrograde Mars heading into your solar sixth house from the 6th forward, there can be some snags to deal with regarding work schedules or daily affairs and duties. You might also be losing some enthusiasm or going through the motions, which should change later in February. For now, you can put a lot of energy into fixing problems and revising old work. There may be hidden treasures to be found in old programs, methods, and work projects. However, if you decide to revive something now, it's best to come at it in new ways rather than repeat past mistakes. This portion of the Mars retrograde cycle emphasizes practical and work matters.
January brings a wealth of opportunities for you to boost your income. While there may be a tendency to indulge, go overboard with comfort foods or pleasures, and possibly overspend, this is also a time for potential financial windfalls. You might discover a lost resource or reconnect with someone from your past, adding an exciting twist to your financial and social prospects.
There continues to be a strong focus on the past, healing, processing, and digesting this month, with very little pressure to venture out. While the month picks up the pace as it advances, in the meantime, you have a lot of inner work to do and plenty of help in this regard! In fact, this can be a month of big emotional breakthroughs. You bring fresh energy and an open mind and heart to past problems and your personal relationships. Family is more cooperative or home life is shaping up in pleasing ways. This is a time for learning more about yourself, your heart, and the people closest to you. If you have resisted taking time for reflection or dealing with the past, a recent New Moon in your privacy sector prompts you to take charge.
The 13-15 brings sudden awareness of something that's not working in the world of your work, daily routines, or health, or the need to make adjustments and meet deadlines. These matters can turn a corner, although there may be some hurdles to clear. It can be a time of stronger emotional reactions than usual, which can be very revealing. While it's not the best time to make serious decisions, it's a strong time for observing and getting in touch with buried desires or frustrations that need managing. The need for better time management may be obvious now. You might enjoy focusing on the little things that need your attention, but in the process, don't avoid the bigger issues that won't go away just because you're doing something else.
The Moon's North Node moves into your resources sector this month for a stay of a year and a half. During this cycle, some of your greatest joys and challenges come from learning about your values and self-worth. Personal income and valuables or possessions are in strong focus. You're learning to depend on yourself and establish your self-worth through your own efforts. Fortunately, the rewards for doing so are enormous and transits around January 18th can jumpstart this process. You might even enjoy making a budget, facing a financial situation confidently, or saving money. Certainly, paring down is easier if you have a solid goal in mind. You could be getting serious about a plan or responsibility, and it's satisfying!
The Sun enters your sign on the 19th, kicking off a month-long cycle in which personal influence is strong and personal plans are on the front burner. You naturally come into the spotlight and feel in the driver's seat.
It may not be until the New Moon in your sign on the 29th that you feel confident about moving personal plans forward, but you're redirecting your energies this month and building your self-confidence. The New Moon coincides with Uranus, your ruling planet, ending its retrograde cycle--a further hint that you're reawakening and starting fresh. Stalled or blocked endeavors, particularly around the home, can resume. Plus, you have Mercury heading into your sign, and you're finding your voice. It's a busy, in-demand time.

About Our Monthly Horoscopes:
Our detailed monthly horoscopes are designed to reveal and interpret the current transits of the Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Mars in your solar chart.
Because these energies or transits do not unfold neatly into any given calendar month (many transits carry forward from one month to the next), you will find some of the energies continue from the previous month.
For example, the Sun might transit the seventh house of your solar chart from July 22 to August 22, so that you will find a similar interpretation for this transit in both July and August’s horoscope. This is normal and expected. While new months can hold new energy, transits don’t abruptly change because the calendar month changes.
These monthly horoscopes also include an overview paragraph, as well as other energies specific to the month, such as retrogrades, eclipses, or major outer planet transits.
The Highlights section reveals lunar cycle dates. Lunar cycles repeat themselves approximately every 28 days, so it is normal to see the same lunar peaks, such as “Your Personal New Moon” and “Monthly career peak” repeat themselves from month to month, but with different dates. They serve as a helpful guide to cycle peaks in different areas of life, such as financial, career, romance, and partnership.
The horoscopes are divided into three groups or decanates, and the differences between the groups are subtle in parts and large in other parts. For those who prefer a whole sign approach to horoscopes (classic), simply read the first decanate regardless of your birthdate.
