Weekly Horoscope: January 19 to January 25, 2025

Your weekly horoscope is here. It may not be the Age of Aquarius in our lifetime, but it is the month of the quirky water bearer as of Sunday. Aquarius isn’t a water sign at all, but an erudite air sign—a rebel with a cause and the consummate contrarian! This season is marked by the cold, dry, pointy end of winter—the sobering kind that sharpens the mind, chaps the lips, and reminds us that we have as much in common as we have differences. Aquarius is the hippie, scientist, and social advocate rolled into one. Always ready to get the gang together, take a leaf out of this cool and calm playbook, and organize your friends or a special interest network to keep social bonds strong.

Read on to discover what’s in store for your sign during the week of January 19, 2025, through January 25, 2025.

Aries (March 21–April 19)As the Sun shifts signs on Sunday, it sets up camp in your social sector, so this is your sign to power network or harness the potency of a group, especially in the earlier part of the week. Spearhead an idea, campaign, or team up with a cause you feel passionate about. It could be anything from a special interest to a liberation group. Your talent for single-minded leadership combined with a larger group interest could create change for people who need it, whether in a small or large way. The key to this week is really stepping up to or into your power, taking a position of influence, and holding your ground. Consider your options and what calls for change in a way you feel compelled to be part of. Think personal transformation and empowerment.

Taurus (April 20–May 20)While you may know you are an “earth” sign, salt-of-the-earth type, you’re also a “fixed” sign, meaning you are consistent and generally don’t like sudden changes. Building to last is your M.O. So as the Sun moves into a new sign on Sunday, it activates a challenge in your career sector. What might you benefit from in terms of transformation, a power move, or building an A-team? Perhaps diving into a deeper mode, taking on a more challenging role or project is the key to growth. Pushing through a block? This is your time to blow through it. Often, obstacles begin in the mind—or at least a solution comes from a radical new approach or framing. In this case, talk your way through rather than shoulder through. Take the long road if need be; this isn’t a sprint. Conversation is queen, and the hive mind has more answers than one can provide individually. Consult your peers, a mentor, or align with a powerful professional.

Gemini (May 21–June 21)As the Sun switches signs on Sunday, it heralds a month-long “air” season. As an air sign, that means communication, ideas, and their delivery are all a focus. You’re a people person, and the social component is essential. So broaden your social and intellectual horizons and create a fresh breeze with new points of view. Sometimes, it’s not about doing—it’s really about building ideas and social networks. Sitting on the couch for extended periods just to think is enough, at least for now. Teaching, learning, traveling, and tapping into an international zeitgeist are favored. Like when the wind picks up and fills a sail, that’s this season for you. So catch those trade winds and travel—in body or mind. This is a year of growth for you, so the more opportunities you discover and explore, the better. Just make sure you say yes to the best and forget the rest rather than becoming scattered.

Cancer (June 22–July 22)Thankfully, the planet of intensity, Pluto, has finally shifted out of your opposite sign, where it’s been since 2008. If life has felt breezier lately, that could be why. Like dislodging a buildup of debris in a river and all of a sudden the water is free to flow—that’s you now, especially in terms of relationships and one-on-one connections. Move with the changes. That said, Pluto—and its meaning—is always somewhere. This week it’s activated in your sphere of sex, secrets, and other people’s resources. A power play could trigger—or an intense attraction evolve! Love and hate are two sides of the same coin, after all. If you’re in a committed partnership, negotiation or accepting each other’s choices or stance on a topic or situation may just have to do. How can you both win and feel empowered in the process?

Leo (July 23–August 22)It’s your half-birthday, Leo! What does that mean, you may be wondering? The Sun is in your opposite sign of Aquarius, so we’re six months from—and to—your season. Cool, conceptual Aquarius is in polarity with your sign; its opposite yet shares qualities that balance and relate to yours. Borrow from its generous helping of detachment and apply at will. Since this season may be more about others so notice when a group-oriented approach may be better or more appropriate than going solo. Listen, ask questions, and share that spotlight. You’ll learn by doing it and gain perspective. Your relationship sector is lit, so put time into your significant one-on-ones—from bae to bestie. An intense or powerful, transformative person may be on the cards for this week. Tall, dark, and intellectual? Yes, please.

Virgo (August 23–September 22)Your work and wellness spheres are activated under the new solar shift on Sunday. Spotlit with the light of consciousness, why not bring a conscious appraisal to your habits? As a natural editor, turn this focus onto a habit you could cut and one you could either introduce or amplify. That could involve the way you use words, framing, perspective, or self-talk. We all have at least one of each that could use a little polish, or some gratitude to further lock in and amplify positive effects. Remember: where the mind goes, energy flows. So maintain powerful awareness of what you’re doing in the moment. Working out? Keep your mind on the feelings in your body. Studies show better results when not being mentally elsewhere, so try for the month and see what happens. You may find ways to use this approach at work to get into a flow state.

Libra (September 23–October 23)As the Sun changes signs to Aquarius on Sunday, it’s time for our Aquarian friends to have their birthday parties. Those groups of people you hear out and about celebrating their unique gal pals are on the rise since this is literally the sign that rules groups. Less intimate and more comfortable surrounded by their squad, you’re bound to have a few Aquarians on your list of favorite people. They make great conversationalists and, like you, can maintain a detached, fair appraisal of most situations. Activating your sphere of leisure, romance, and creative expression, this is a fun month for you no matter which way you slice it. Take time to enjoy your favorite pursuits and perhaps try your hand at writing seriously, no matter the topic. Whatever it is, get creative and enjoy the process. Remember, it’s meant to be fun—even if your idea of fun is different from someone else’s.

Scorpio (October 24–November 21)As the Sun switches seasons with a move into quirky Aquarius, it activates your domestic sphere, setting up a challenge to find a place of emotional detachment. That’s more easily said than done for your passionate water sign. However, that’s the cosmic assignment, and you’ll benefit from experiments. If you have sterling Aquarian friends, poke around their mindset and consider what they would do in various situations. Ask them—and also ask yourself—“What would so-and-so do in this situation?” The answer may bubble right up, as answers often do. You only need to ask.

La Luna glides through your sign Tuesday through midday Thursday, so deep-dive into a topic, person, or feeling while the mood favors focused research. Always consult the ultimate oracle—your gut instincts. The answer, as they say, lies within.

Sagittarius (November 22–December 21)Local connections are spotlit from Sunday as the Sun activates this sphere. Since the Sun is in the sign of group-oriented Aquarius, this is your sign to network, create a teaching environment, host, or collate your wisdom to pass on—or pick up a useful course. Aquarius is a sign of knowledge, making this a very compatible season for you. Go with your inspiration and make the most of it. It’s also super social, so chatting with people who resonate with you about things that matter is on brand. Get your message out and consider your own branding and the vehicles you use to do that. Meet new friends, influence people, and learn from others with more obscure or different experiences and backgrounds. Remember, to them, you are the one who brings a different perspective. From Thursday, the Moon is in your sign, so take it through to the weekend by reaching out to others who inspire you.

Capricorn (December 22–January 19)Capricorn, your birthday season comes to a close for another year as Aquarius takes the helm on Sunday. Reflect on the month that was and double down on the best parts to savor and lock them into your collection of positive moments. Consider the challenges and find the silver linings they may actually entail. Just like a positive experience, there’s always some sort of opposite balance we seem to leave out of how we frame or perceive an experience. This gives us a lot of wiggle room and artistic license if we go back and excavate. The new zodiac sign on the block is Aquarius, activating your values and financial sphere. How could you apply themes of transformation and power moves to how you make, spend, or invest your capital?

Aquarius (January 20–February 18)Happy birthday, Aquarius! It’s your solar return as the Sun strides into your rarified air sign on Sunday. Call your squad and let them know when and where for your social gathering, part activist, part consciousness-raising session. Consider how you’d like to direct the energy of the group and make it happen. Take it off-label and organize the proceedings for a unique event—or three. Your guests will be enlivened by the gathering/party with a cause, and you’ll get to flex your Aquarian humanitarian muscle. If you’re not already the social instigator or permanent fixture at a local club or society, now is your time to people-with-purpose. As always, be the glitch you want to see in the matrix and create positive change and transformation every day in your own way.

Pisces (February 19–March 20)As the Sun swings into Aquarius on Sunday, it illuminates your sphere of dreams and the collective. Since this is the sign before yours, that means you’re the next cab off the rank—so get plenty of rest to recharge for your birthday season. This is the best time for integrating your past year, letting go of what you won’t take forward, and sorting out what is truly you versus someone else’s influence. Your natural sensitivity lends an impressionable side to your nature, so periodically retreating to clear out the cache is useful. Add in some mystic ambiance with sage, tuning into crystals, slow movement, or channeling the muses with creative time. Aquarius is a highly rational sign that can reject the kind of higher knowledge Pisces tends to understand, so be patient with others if they don’t pick up what you’re laying down. That’s why Pisces are often artists—it’s a vehicle that gets through to people where words and non-fiction can’t. Value your gifts and lean into them in ways that support you and benefit others.
