2025 kicks off at a slower pace, with personal planets in retrograde asking you to pause, reflect, and tune into what truly matters. While this might feel frustrating at first, this year invites you to embrace a more intentional approach, peeling back layers to uncover hidden patterns and truths about yourself. It’s a great time to ask: What’s ready to shift? How can I nurture myself through this process?
There’s a big focus on balancing the practical and the spiritual in 2025. It’s also a year to prioritise both your physical wellbeing (think immune support, physical activity, and your daily routines and rituals) and your emotional and spiritual growth. Gentle wellness practices, such as yoga, earthing or grounding, nourishing meals, and guided meditations, will be great supports this year.
Big shifts with the outer planets changing signs, signal both endings and new beginnings. On a collective level, you’ll see breakthroughs in technology, shifts in societal values, potential upheavals, and a push for innovation and unity. Individually, this is a time to align with your purpose and trust the journey, even if the map isn’t entirely clear.
Take it slow, prioritise your self-care, and embrace the quiet opportunities that 2025 offers. Transformation is unfolding, all you have to do is trust it!

Aries! Congratulations on navigating the intensity of 2024. 2025 brings you a different pace, that is set to challenge your usual lightning-speed approach. With your ruling planet in retrograde at the start of 2025, don’t expect to run out of the gates swinging. Instead, this is your time to rebuild internal power, realign to your deeper desires and focus on energy restoration.
If your schedule at the start of 2025 is already packed, carve out some moments in between to recharge. You are being asked to pause, breathe, and recalibrate. Your main takeaway is to go slow.
The final eclipse in your sign on 29 March is a pivotal moment. This event brings closure to the changes you navigated in 2024. While eclipses can bring uncertainty, this is just the final piece to the transformation you have already been undergoing.
You might feel frustrated by the seemingly stagnant and restricted energy this year. However, this is a powerful time for self-reflection, spiritual growth and creating a foundation that supports your authentic self.
To support your energy in 2025, embrace gentler movement practices such as tai chi, qigong, or emotional freedom technique. These can help you continue to move your fiery energy without overextending.

This could feel unsettling, particularly if you have been avoiding the changes you have known you need to make. Trust that around this time you will be sparked into action to propel you forward and be prepared for this shakeup.

It’s a perfect time to enjoy self-care, nourishing foods and wellness rituals, such as using a gua sha with a facial oil and full-body massages.
