If last year felt like it was all change and transformation, this year has plenty more of that on offer! Expect big shifts as the outer planets, which influence the way we evolve on a generational level, make some dramatic moves. Lucky Jupiter heads into Cancer, the sign of emotions and family, from June. Nebulous Neptune, the planetary ruler of idealism and dreams, and serious Saturn, move into the sign of the warrior, Aries, in March and May respectively. This prompts themes of pioneering humanitarianism as well as a sense of the world around us changing rapidly.

But just when we think things will never be the same again, Saturn insists on a return to Pisces in September, and Neptune follows a few weeks behind, to support a process of finding closure. Rebellious Uranus moves into excitable Gemini in July, and swings the pendulum from breaking tradition to questioning why things are the way they are. Fortunately, eclipses in Virgo this year help us find clarity amid the chaos of celestial changes.
Indeed, we find ourselves on a deep and powerful emotional journey this year as 2025 brings a Lunar Standstill. This rare event occurs once every 18.6 years, when the Moon moves to its absolute extremes, reaching its highest point in the sky above the Summer Solstice Sun, and then falling to its lowest. Think of the Moon rising and setting much further north and south than usual, making a wider arc across the night sky.
