✨✨ RETROGRADES OF 2025 ✨✨
MERCURY RX IN ARIES / PISCES -- Mar 3, 2025 - Apr 7, 2025
This Mercury RX is really asking us to review our mental processes and communications - do we want to accept and sacrifice in situations and relationships unconditionally or do we want to be more authentic and truthful with ourselves and others?
MERCURY RX IN LEO -- Jul 18, 2025 - Aug 11, 2025
The second Mercury Retrograde of 2025 is all about revisiting and reviewing our mental processes, personal perspective, and how we communicate with others. Do we do so in a way that lights us up? That expresses our passion, our inner child, and our sense of pride and high ideals? Are we following the path that's in our heart?
Now is the time to romanticize our thoughts and ideas, express ourselves courageously, and follow our hearts in the area of life ruled by Leo. Pluto will create tension here, forcing us to transform our thoughts and mindset in order to transform ourselves.
MERCURY RX IN SAGITTARIUS / SCORPIO -- Nov 9, 2025 - Nov 29, 2025
The final Mercury Retrograde of 2025 asks us to examine our beliefs, our need to explore religion and spiritual mysteries, and how we may oscillate between optimism and pessimism. How can we revise our thoughts, perspective, and communications with others in order to find balance between being foolishly optimistic and brutally pessimistic?
VENUS RETROGRADE IN ARIES -- Mar 2, 2025 - Apr 13, 2025
Venus will retrograde early on in the year for a little over a month in the cardinal fire sign of Aries, underscoring these energies we'll be experiencing in the sign of Aries for a good portion of the year.
Venus deals with our sense of style, beauty, finances, and our relationships with others. In the sign of Aries, Venus will ask us to express ourselves passionately and authentically, regardless of what others think. It asks us to speak up and express our truth in relationships, even if it's not what others want to hear.
We sometimes need to follow our own path alone, independently, in order to live more authentically and this can bring us greater creativity, success, stronger sense of self, confidence, and wealth. And that's really the questions at hand with Venus in Aries and the subsequent retrogradation.
JUPITER RETROGRADE IN CANCER -- Nov 11, 2025 - Mar 11, 2026
Jupiter will move into Cancer in July 2025 and this brings an exalted transit to our lives when it comes to how we expand, grow, gain luck and opportunities, and generally experience greater prosperity in some area of our life.
There may also be experiences where we are forced to examine how we might overdo it when it comes to our emotions, emotional expression, taking things personally, and being moody.
Jupiter will then retrograde, allowing us to review how we've expanded and grown, what needs to integrated further, what needs to be discarded, and how we must shift our emotional and mental state to suit this new version of ourselves for the longterm.
SATURN RETROGRADE IN ARIES / PISCES -- Jul 13, 2025 - Nov 28, 2025
Saturn has been in Pisces for a few years now and this year, we're going to feel a major shift for a short while here where Saturn moves into Aries! This will bring us a more solid sense of independence, authenticity, and passionate energy. We will need to build new structures and let old ones dissolve in order to live more truthfully, authentically, and courageously.
URANUS RETROGRADE IN GEMINI / TA**US -- Sept 6, 2025 - Feb 4, 2026
Uranus begins a massive shift this year from earthy, fixed, and stable Ta**us to airy, unstable, and dynamic Gemini and we will experience these fresh shake ups for a hot minute before Uranus stations retrograde and oscillates between Gemini and Ta**us. This asks us to embrace unpredictable twists and turns with a sense of curiosity, fun and connection - like a Gemini - while examining what traditions should we toss and which should we keep?
Uranus is another outer planet so, again, if you don't have personal planets here in Gemini or other mutable signs, it won't feel as pressing. If you do, however: buckle up for what's bound to be a bit of a wild, but probably fun, ride this year!
NEPTUNE RETROGRADE IN ARIES / PISCES -- Jul 4, 2025 - Dec 10, 2025
Neptune will experience a huge shift this year where we move out of Piscean energies for a hot minute in 2025 and into fiery Aries! Then, we will have a Neptune Retrograde where Neptune shifts between the two signs. What does this bring for us? A revision of our identity, independence, leadership, and personal self as it relates to our sense of faith, hopes and dreams, unconditional love and sacrifice, and sense of goodness in the world/people/the universe.
PLUTO RETROGRADE IN AQUARIUS -- May 4, 2025 - Oct 14, 2025
We've seen this a bit last year where Pluto retrogradation oscillated between Capricorn and Aquarius, but this year, we will see the retrograde only in Aquarius, solidly in this fixed air energy. What can we expect? Social revolution, social justice movements, and big shifts for the people in government and societal changes. Pluto is more collective energy, but if you have personal planets in Aquarius or fixed signs, you'll be affected a lot more acutely than others.
CHIRON RETROGRADE IN ARIES -- Jul 30, 2025 - Jan 2, 2026
Chiron investigates our deepest wounds and seeks to heal us through investigating these wounds in order to gain wisdom and be of service to others.
In Aries, Chiron's deepest wounding is related to our aggression, asserting our personal will, expressing healthy anger and independence, following our gut instincts, expressing our sexuality and passion, taking action on our impulses, and blazing a unique trail through leadership, truth, and authenticity.
