Your Weekly Horoscopes: January 19 to 25, 2025

Tap into whatever Aquarian detachment you can muster

Time to flex that detached AF muscle ala Paul Mescal in every movie he's in for this week's horoscopes Jan 19-25, 2025.

Welcome to Aquarius season. After last week’s emotional full moon in Cancer, I think the perfect antidote is some Aquarian detachment. Watch out for power plays on the 21st when the sun meets up with life-changing Pluto, an aspect that encourages extreme behavior.

Though Aquarius is a future-oriented sign, it’s also a sign that speaks to overstimulation from technology. This is a great week to unplug and take a more grounded approach to communication. Mercury connects with Saturn and Venus on the 19th bringing a soft resolve to decision making. Then on the 23rd, Mercury, Mars retrograde and radical Uranus play off of each other to spark an out-of-the-box plan.

Though Aquarius is an “I love you for your mind” type of sign, Venus in Pisces and Mars retrograde in Cancer form a delicious trine on the 25th bringing romance and sensuality to the forefront. A tension that was revealed back in December finds a sweet outlet.

(Horoscopes follow for each sign. If you know your rising sign, reading for that sign too will provide further insight.)

Aries (March 21 - April 19)

Aquarius season puts your social life front and center. As tempting as it is to stay on the couch, it’s better to brave the cold and get yourself to the party. Or better yet, invite your friends to join you on the couch. Bring the party to you! You may also be craving a getaway this week. Watch out for an invitation from a friend or lover on the 25th to get out of town.

This week’s mantra: “Celebrate.”

Taurus (April 20 - May 20)

Aquarius season is the time of year when you’re most focused on your career and professional life. The time to show up as a level-headed leader is now. Though many in your close circle are all up in your feelings, you benefit from remaining detached and focused on the big picture. Hosting a gathering for friends or colleagues on the 25th is both influential and healing.

This week’s mantra: “Influence.”

Cheeky illustration of identical twins with long dark hair and a statement earrings back-to-back, smirking at each other.

Gemini (May 21 - June 20)

Aquarius season is the time of year when you’re most focused on travel, exploration and study. If you’ve been meaning to book a trip, renew your library card or dig into that stack of books already collecting dust on your nightstand, now’s the time. Outside of these more far reaching plans, a meeting with someone you admire on the 19th goes well when you remain your grounded, friendly self.

This week’s mantra: “Seek.”

Cancer (June 21 - July 22)

Aquarius season is more intense for you than it is for others. While some are enjoying good vibes and career success, you’re being pushed to examine and strengthen your boundaries. Whether you’re breaking up with your therapist, working out a new business plan or addressing credit card debt, you’re in for a lot of humbling yet empowering work. Make sure you step back and remember the big picture before getting caught in the weeds.

This week’s mantra: “Power.”

Cheeky illustration of a woman of Asian-descent wearing a sheer coral top with her hair half-up in pigtail puns, the rest down. She is hugging a lion, who is smirking.

Leo (July 23 - August 22)

Aquarius season brings your attention to your one-on-one relationships. Who is showing up for you and who is leaving you hanging? The sun’s conjunction with Pluto on the 21st may bring up some relationship drama but could also be a moment to renew your vows, with feeling this time. This is also a time to review your contracts and renegotiate if you need a raise or more flexibility.

This week’s mantra: “Level.”

Cheeky illustration with a light blue background of a woman wearing a coral shirt coyly poking out from behind her hands.

Virgo (August 23 - September 23)

Aquarius season is the time of year when you’re laser-focused on your daily work, fitness routines and health. How are you going to get ahead if you’re not taking care of yourself? Artistic projects and romantic connections bloom into being if you’re willing to commit to more consistency this week. Then on the 23rd, a wild night out with friends could lead to another creative spark.

This week’s mantra: “Inspire.”

Libra (September 23 - October 21)

Aquarius season is the most creative and romantic time of year for you. Now’s your chance to circulate, make new connections, and embrace your magnetism and vibrancy. Go ahead, flirt a little! You’re also in the midst of making some huge power moves for your career and this week helps you ground into a sustainable routine to avoid burnout. Though you’re exhausted, it’s important to keep showing up.

This week’s mantra: “Vibe.”

Scorpio (October 22 - November 21)

Aquarius season is your homebody season, Scorpio. Take this as an excuse to cancel your plans and stay home with your cat instead. If you’ve been feeling uninspired in your current abode, this is also a great time to redecorate, switch around your furniture or start browsing for your next apartment. On the romance front, you might connect with someone outside your usual circle on the 25th who inspires you to learn something new.

This week’s mantra: “Outreach.”

Cheeky illustration of a Black woman with purple hair on an orange background. She's in a wearing jean jacket, with a quiver strapped across her back and arrows sticking out.

Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)

Aquarius season begins this week and for you, this is a time to get back to your roots, catch up with close friends, and make magic in your local community. Instead of your usual work from home schedule, try working from the neighborhood coffee shop instead! Grounding down into rituals and a more fixed schedule will boost your confidence and help you define what matters.

This week’s mantra: “Cycle.”

A cheeky image of a woman of color with dark hair holding a pink goat by the horns. The background is pink and her shirt is darker pink.

Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)

Aquarius season is your time to get serious about money, budgeting and what you really value. This isn’t just about spending less or tracking investments or asking for a raise, it’s also about cleaning out your closet and pantry, upgrading your wardrobe and savoring each bite when you eat. You also have the power of communication on your side this week, though tensions are also high on the 23rd. Consider whether it’s worth picking a fight.

This week’s mantra: “Value.”

Cheeky image of a Black woman with blue hair on a light blue background. She's holding blue water in her palms, which is bubbling up and taking shape as her hair.

Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)

Happy solar return, Aquarius! After a month of hibernation during Capricorn season, it’s time for you to step into the spotlight. This birthday season will be unique as the sun joins transformation planet Pluto on the 21st. This is an aspect that could bring either an ego boost or an extreme power clash, and perhaps a little bit of both. To avoid overstimulation, lean into routines for health and fitness that make you feel grounded and satisfied.

This week’s mantra: “Simple.”

Cheeky illustration of a gender-fluid white person with short-cropped orange hair. They're wearing a light blue halter top as two bright pink koi fish circle their head.

Pisces (February 19 - March 20)

Aquarius season for you is the most meditative time of year. Take this as an excuse to relax and do behind-the-scenes work rather than pushing ahead or putting yourself out there. On the romance and creativity front, you may catch someone’s attention on the 25th without having to do much. Trust that even on your off days, you’re confident and radiant.

This week’s mantra: “Beam.”
