Your Monthly Horoscopes: January 2025

• Full Moon in Cancer (1/13): Tears shed at family dinner
• New Moon in Aquarius (1/29): Awesome day of volunteering
• Other Key Dates: 1/3, 1/6, 1/12, 1/15, 1/23

This is going to be a year of healing for you, Aries. So much has changed since this time last year—some of it empowering and some of it destabilizing—and now you’re left to pick up the pieces. The first step is addressing the cracks in your foundation: family drama, unfinished house projects and those nagging feelings of not being enough. As you gain more status and attention in your career, the other parts of your life that aren’t working become impossible to ignore. Though the pressure is on to go go go, take time to ground and recharge on your own terms.

Love Horoscope: Before flinging yourself into something you aren’t quite ready for (particularly when Venus meets Saturn on the 18th), take a beat and stay present. Enjoy yourself without worrying about where things are going.

Money Horoscope: This is one of those months when you’re waiting on cash to flow in. Whether you’re up for a promotion, your boss is late on a holiday bonus or you’re a freelancer with invoices floating around, it’s frustrating to be in limbo. Instead of spending money you don’t have, take the delay as a sign to focus on long-term investments.

• Full Moon in Cancer (1/13): A long drive singing emo songs with the windows down
• New Moon in Aquarius (1/29): An intriguing job interview
• Other Key Dates: 1/2, 1/14, 1/18, 1/19, 1/25, 1/26, 1/28, 1/30

This will be a year to trust connections and build inner peace. You’ve poured so much energy into community building, career expansion and future planning over the past few years, and now you’re being asked to dream even bigger. With your goals taking solid shape, don’t lose sight of why you wanted them in the first place. January’s mission? Figure out a way to do it all without burning yourself out. Restructure your schedule, lean on friends and family for support and don’t resist change—flow with it. Let yourself be the good kind of busy and don’t worry about what comes next.

Love Horoscope: The spark you’re craving is waiting outside your comfort zone. Whether single or partnered, the best way to improve your love life is to get out of the house and try something new. Don’t worry—you’ll always have your robe and your couch to come home to.

Money Horoscope: After a tight November and December, you’re ready for a fresh financial start. No more going into debt—emotionally or financially—just to uplift everyone else. Plan to meet with a financial planner or get into some serious budgeting when Mercury enters no-nonsense Capricorn on the 8th.

• Full Moon in Cancer (1/13): A day that gets very expensive very quickly
• New Moon in Aquarius (1/29): First day of school
• Other Key Dates: 1/6, 1/8, 1/19, 1/23, 1/26, 1/27

2025 is going to be a remarkable and expansive year for your career and public image. The setbacks and frustrations have been real—especially when it comes to holding back ideas or keeping talents to yourself. That all changes in January. Step into your shapeshifting power and let the world see your multifaceted self. Start with a review of what you want and what you need. Are you underselling your skills? Letting other people’s problems take up too much space? Budget for personal success.

Love Horoscope: Right now, self love is your top priority. Taking space to explore on your own is the best thing you can do for your partnerships and friendships. When Venus squares off with Jupiter on the 14th, expect some sweet news that inspires you to get out, connect and dance.

Money Horoscope: Money has been a hot button issue since the fall, and January brings a chance to revisit those pain points around worth and scarcity that first surfaced in October. How can you untangle this knot and build lasting confidence?

• Full Moon in Cancer (1/13): Treat yourself to a facial
• New Moon in Aquarius (1/29): Coming to terms with an obligation
• Other Key Dates: 1/6, 1/12, 1/15, 1/23, 1/25

2025 is your year of health and wealth. It might feel frustrating to spend so much time on baselines and behind-the-scenes work, but slowing down now will help you speed ahead later. January brings some challenges around your image and self-worth as Mars retrogrades back into your sign on the 6th. This influence, which can also take a toll on the body, is in play until mid-April. I don’t say this to freak you out, Cancer, but to remind you to take it slow, stay hydrated and give yourself grace. Rushing will only add to your frustration.

Love Horoscope: Over the past decade, you have gone to some truly wild extremes to make love work. Now that magnifying Pluto has finally left your relationship sector for good, you’re feeling a distinct calm-after-the-storm vibe. Capricorn season (through the 19th) is for celebrating all the love in your life.

Money Horoscope: You’ve been stressed about money since early November and when the credit card bill lands on the 3rd, you might get a pleasant surprise. The reality isn’t nearly as extreme as you imagined. Things ease on the financial front from here, but know that you may have to revisit these issues in the spring.

• Full Moon in Cancer (1/13): An emotionally charged and cathartic day
• New Moon in Aquarius (1/29): A cute first meeting
• Other Key Dates: 1/4, 1/13, 1/15, 1/17, 1/19, 1/21, 1/30

2025 is for letting what isn’t working fall away. As someone who takes immense pride in who you love and what you’ve built, letting go of people or projects you’ve invested in is never easy. But recently you’ve had to learn about boundaries the hard way. As new opportunities and connections emerge, it’s time to release. This doesn’t mean forgetting. It means giving yourself permission to fully grieve. The first step is to release overthinking and focus on what you can control.

Love Horoscope: January is always a grind for you. If you’re feeling like a caged lion during Capricorn season, remember that Aquarius season (from the 19th) always brings opportunities for love and connection. Someone powerful and transformational could enter the scene as the sun meets Pluto on the 21st.

Money Horoscope: Last month’s Mercury retrograde had your head spinning in regards to finances. Once Mercury moves into Capricorn on the 8th, you’ll finally feel grounded enough to make a solid plan. You may also find people are being more generous with you this month as you let yourself be more vulnerable about what you need.

• Full Moon in Cancer (1/13): Crying at the club
• New Moon in Aquarius (1/29): Starting new routines
• Other Key Dates: 1/6, 1/8, 1/11, 1/19, 1/23, 1/26, 1/27

2025 is about allowing love to come to you. The past couple of years have tested you with the harder parts of relationships, but now you get to lean into the sweetness of it all. Heartbreak and rejection feel kinder in hindsight—without them, you wouldn’t be here. January asks you to go all in on friendship and community or to sever ties that no longer reflect the real you. You’ve reworked your foundation; now it’s time to fill your space with people and things that bring you joy.

Love Horoscope: This is an excellent month for your love life, as love planet Venus moves into your relationship sector on the 2nd. Venus in Pisces loves to dream big when it comes to romance, but when she meets up with Saturn on the 18th, her fantasies may actually become a reality.

Money Horoscope: Money is flowing for both you and your partner this month—especially if you’re in business together. Mark the 14th as a great day to invest in something that serves your long term vision or career.

• Full Moon in Cancer (1/13): One part breakthrough, one part finale for your career
• New Moon in Aquarius (1/29): A flirty invitation in your DMs
• Other Key Dates: 1/2, 1/14, 1/19, 1/25, 1/26, 1/28

2025 is going to be a year of embracing connection for you, Libra, and that connection starts with loving yourself. Workplace confusion and health issues forced you slow down, but also helped you build better routines. How can you access your natural charm if you’re always burned out? Your focus this month should be on cultivating the garden that is your public and professional life—design a vision that feels beautiful to you. 

Love Horoscope: You’ve experienced so many ups and downs when it comes to relationships over the past year. January is a call to stop worrying so much about commitment, about “where is this going?” and just have some fun. As Venus connects with Mars retrograde on the 25th, you might find yourself giving someone a second chance.

Money Horoscope: Mars retrograde has you reviewing recent investments for your business or professional life, leaving money tight this month. Slow your spending now so you can make smarter moves come spring.

• Full Moon in Cancer (1/13): A teaching moment
• New Moon in Aquarius (1/29): A great day to change the sheets and get cozy
• Other Key Dates: 1/3, 1/6, 1/12, 1/15, 1/23

2025 is going to be a year of tapping into desire. Let’s be real: Fun and romance have been elusive this past year as you navigated breakups and focused on deepening commitments. Though you’re still not standing for any nonsense in your dating or creative life, you also begin the year in a very playful and generative space. What resources—whether those are internal skills or external support—do you have available that remain untapped? This is your month for dancing at the bar, indulging in little treats and trying out new hobbies. Now’s the time to seek out some uncharted territory.

Love Horoscope: This is a playful and flirty month for you. But there’s also energy to turn a crush into something more serious. Your best shot to nail something down is on the 18th when over-the-top romantic Venus in Pisces meets up with steady visionary Saturn.

Money Horoscope: The past few months have brought both unexpected windfalls and large debts. The key is to get real about what’s dragging your lifestyle down vs. what is a worthwhile investment. You get more clarity around this in February. For now, hold onto your cash.

• Full Moon in Cancer (1/13): An emotional final therapy session
• New Moon in Aquarius (1/29): Lovely neighborhood gathering
• Other Key Dates: 1/14, 1/30

The overall vibe of 2025 is about smoothing the edges for you, Sagittarius. After the rollercoaster of the last few months, you might be feeling less than your usual high octane enthusiasm. But don’t worry, even if things aren’t perfect yet, that zest for life is on the way back! Your closest relationships are the first in line for a little TLC. What’s felt limiting or tight, especially in home and family matters, is now ready to expand. Lean into the people and systems you want as the foundation of your life, and watch yourself grow.

Love Horoscope: If things in your dating life or with your partner have felt a bit stale lately, mark the 14th, when Venus in dreamy Pisces squares off with Jupiter in Gemini, on your calendar. This energy brings a hot date night or an unplanned meeting that will reignite your spark.

Money Horoscope: 2025 brings more ease in financial matters than you’ve experienced in a very long time. You find a simpler way to manage the details that used to leave you spinning after Mercury moves into Capricorn and your money zone on the 8th.

• Full Moon in Cancer (1/13): Conflict that leads to wholesome resolution
• New Moon in Aquarius (1/29): Opening a new savings account
• Other Key Dates: 1/18, 1/19

2025 is going to be a strange year, but what’s strangest for you, Capricorn, might be the relief. For the past decade plus, you’ve dealt with so many extremes and now that you’re finding more moderation, you may ironically feel unsettled. January is for leaning into the comforts of close friendships, familiar routines and your local community. Don’t worry about getting ahead right now. Focus on finding more magic and joy in everyday routines. When life picks up again, you’ll need these simple pleasures to ground you.

Love Horoscope: Your love life is either heating up or breaking down this month as Mars retrograde moves back into your relationship sector on the 6th to stay until mid-April (!). Rather than picking a fight, look for ways you can channel the heat together.

Money Horoscope: Power planet Pluto recently entered your financial zone for a two decade long stay. Your relationship to money is going to rapidly change this year, perhaps starting with a big purchase or investment you make around the 21st when the Sun (our life force) meets up with Pluto.

• Full Moon in Cancer (1/13): Work bestie’s final day in the office
• New Moon in Aquarius (1/29): New moon, new you!
• Other Key Dates: 1/18, 1/19, 1/21

2025 is the year of you taking control and claiming your power. No one is more deserving than you, Aquarius. This might sound hyperbolic or, yes, cringe, but it’s the truth. Step one to feeling more confident in your own skin is getting your finances together. Your budget has been all over the place for the past few years, but January offers a unique opportunity to treat yourself while also staying within your means. Novel concept, I know. It’s not all feast or famine. There is such a thing as maintaining balance. Time to feel abundant in all the right ways.

Love Horoscope: Don’t get too discouraged if love and romance feel elusive during Capricorn season. Once your season begins on the 19th, you’ll find that lovers are making their intentions clear.

Money Horoscope: The meeting of dreamy Venus and steady Saturn on the 18th is your deadline to get real about your financial future. Set up a meeting with a financial advisor or initiate new savings goals for something that will bring you pleasure in the long term.

• Full Moon in Cancer (1/13): An unexpected—literal or figurative—pregnancy
• New Moon in Aquarius (1/29): Day off / do not disturb
• Other Key Dates: 1/2, 1/11, 1/14, 1/18, 1/28, 1/30

2025 is going to be quite the year for you, Pisces. Are you ready to be the main character? You’ve been putting so much work into building your image and maintaining your health. Now you get to use what you’ve created as a stable base as you open yourself up to new possibilities. It’s OK to bet on your wildest dreams. You have both glamour and discipline on your side this month. Yes, keep working hard, but make sure you’re looking good while you do it. It’s going to be hard for you to keep yourself hidden in the background, so if nothing else, stay camera ready.

Love Horoscope: After a potentially romantic—but likely more confusing—November and December, January lets you get your love life back on track. Especially after Mercury enters Capricorn on the 8th. Lean into friendships and keep an eye out for stable, practical lovers who are already part of your community.

Money Horoscope: You might be feeling a bit squeezed when it comes to finances this month, especially around the 15th when Mars retrograde, the transit of burnout, reaches its peak. It won’t stay like this forever, but this is definitely a more frugal month.
