You probably don’t need an astrologer to tell you that 2025 is about to be a wild year. There’s many twists and turns to come, but with action planet Mars retrograde, January is a month where we are being forced to slow down and take things one step at a time. To help you get focused, we created one-word mantras for each sign. Focus on your breath and repeat your mantra to ease into the new year.
If you know your rising sign, reading for that will provide the most accurate insight.
The One-Word Mantra Your Zodiac Sign Needs to Make the Most of 2025
Repeat after me...
Aries (March 21 - April 19)
“SOFT”
You’re one who’s always down to play hard ball, but what if you allowed yourself to be a little more soft around the edges. This isn’t about shying away from what you want. It’s about easing into it instead.
Taurus (April 20 - May 20)
“SURRENDER”
There’s only so much you can control. And though you thrive in comfort and reliability, 2025 is going to force you to let go and let the universe take the wheel.
Gemini (May 21 - June 20)
“ABUNDANCE”
The second half of 2025 will bring you many opportunities to increase not only your bank account statement, but your self worth. Get into an abundance mindset early so you can reap all the rewards.
Cancer (June 21 - July 22)
“LEADERSHIP”
So many opportunities opened up for you over the last year, but some of them have felt more frustrating than rewarding. Is it possible that you’re not claiming your own power? 2025 is about you taking the lead.
Leo (July 23 - August 22)
“PRESENCE”
I’m not going to lie, Leo, the first few months of 2025 are going to be a challenge for you. With Mars retrograde in your unconscious sector, you need to focus on remaining present so you don’t get swept away in what you can’t control.
Virgo (August 23 - September 22)
“RELEASE”
With eclipses moving into your sign, 2025 is going to challenge you to let go of rigid ideas you have around your own identity and well-being. What if instead of always refining you loosened up instead?
Libra (September 23 - October 21)
“FLOW”
You’ve let go of so many relationships and bad habits in the recent past, and now in 2025, your assignment is to get back into a flow. Your energy is never wasted when you’re focused on bringing more beauty and simplicity to your day to day.
Scorpio (October 22 - November 21)
“PATIENCE”
Once we get to the second half of 2025, you’re going to be laser-focused on achieving your goals. But instead of pushing and forcing yourself into burnout, try to take a slower approach. This is a long game, not a fast track.
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)
“GENEROUS”
Letting yourself lean on others is your superpower this year. You don’t need to prove your independence to anyone. Everyone already knows you can do it on your own. But what if there’s even more satisfaction in achieving a shared goal?
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)
“REVIVE”
2025 is the first year in over a decade that begins without Pluto—planet of deep transformation—hanging out in your sign. Though there’s always stress and expectations, allow yourself to take a deep breath and trust the pressure is off.
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)
“POWER”
Transformation planet Pluto is spending its first full year in your sign. After getting a preview in 2023 and 2024, you’re finally ready to step into the power seat. This isn’t about stealing the spotlight but about settling into a calm sense of leadership for the long haul.
Pisces (February 19 - March 20)
“GROW”
Eclipses return to your sign in 2025 making this your biggest year for change and growth since 2016. Nine years ago you had to let go of a lot, but this year’s challenge is about opening up. You don’t have to stay small.
