January 2025 Astrology: Big Shifts, Big Feelings, Fresh Starts

Welcome to January! Can you feel the energy already? It’s giving big reset vibes—and honestly, I’m here for it. The stars are coming in hot this month, and while some of it might feel like, “Whoa, what is even happening?” it’s all setting the stage for a powerful year ahead.

Don’t worry, I’ve got you! We’re gonna break this down so you know exactly what’s going on and how to work with it. Let’s get into it:

January 3: Mars, Pluto, and That Freedom Energy

We’re kicking off the year with a little spice. Mars (our planet of action) and Pluto (all about power) are facing off AGAIN. Remember that wild energy back in November when you were like, “Why is everyone fighting for control?” Yeah, it’s back, but this time the focus shifts to freedom—how to get it, protect it, or maybe even demand it.

This could feel a little intense, especially if surprises or power struggles pop up. But listen, don’t let it pull you into the drama. Instead, focus on what you can control—your boundaries, your energy, and your goals.

Now, before we all get too in our heads about it, Venus slides into Pisces on the same day to soften things up. It’s a gentle, dreamy vibe that’s like a cosmic reminder to breathe, stay kind, and lean into compassion. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, take a moment for yourself. Light a candle, say a prayer, or do whatever helps you reconnect.

January 6–13: Old Feelings, Big Full Moon Energy, and Clarity

On January 6, Mars retrogrades back into Cancer. If you’ve been feeling stuck or extra emotional, this might bring up some old wounds. Mars in Cancer wants to focus on what’s safe, nurturing, and emotionally aligned—but it might also make you feel protective (or even defensive).

Mercury squares Neptune the same day, making everything feel more dramatic than it really is. Reminder: your mind can be dramatic sometimes—don’t believe everything it says.

By January 8, Mercury moves into Capricorn, and it’s giving us all a reality check. Capricorn is the sign of strategy and structure, so this is the time to pull out your planner, write down your goals, and figure out the how. Don’t just dream it—do it.

Now let’s talk about the Full Moon in Cancer on January 13. Full Moons are always about release, and this one is coming in with a mix of emotions, unexpected changes (thanks, Uranus), and maybe even a little healing. If you’ve been holding onto something (or someone) that no longer feels good, this is the time to let it go. Trust me, you’ll feel lighter on the other side.

January 19–21: Get Real About Love + Embrace Transformation

Alright, let’s talk relationships. On January 19, Venus meets Saturn in Pisces, and it’s like the universe saying, “Okay, babe, but what’s real?” If something’s been feeling off in your love life or friendships, this is your moment to reflect. Are you building something solid, or are there cracks in the foundation? Be honest with yourself, but don’t be afraid to dream about what you really want.

Also, Aquarius season kicks off on the same day, which is always a vibe. It’s all about owning your individuality and being authentically you. Then, on January 21, the Sun joins forces with Pluto in Aquarius, which might feel intense but is actually here to help you step into your power. Think of it as a cosmic rebirth—who are you becoming?

January 23–30: Big Ideas, Bold Moves, and Fresh Starts

This is the part of the month where we shift from heavy emotions to major creative and intellectual breakthroughs. Around January 23, Mercury opposes Mars and trines Uranus, which means words carry weight. Use this time to express yourself—whether that’s through journaling, creating, or having that long-overdue heart-to-heart.

By January 26, a Venus-Mars trine amps up your creative fire. This is the perfect time to make something beautiful or put your energy into a passion project.

Then, the New Moon in Aquarius on January 29 is the cherry on top of this transformational month. New Moons are for fresh starts, and in Aquarius, it’s all about dreaming boldly and taking steps toward the life you actually want. Pair that with Uranus going direct on January 30, and it’s giving, “Green light, go!”
