“For all its complexity, astrology remains fundamentally simple. It offers a time-honoured system of symbols that sum up key aspects of human life while providing profound insights and practical guidance.”— Anne M Nordhaus-Bike The year 2025 brings us to the halfway mark of an extraordinary decade. Along with it, an equally extraordinary array of planetary arrangements. What makes this year especially unique is that the three outer planets, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, all change signs. While Pluto has been moving into Aquarius and out of Capricorn since 2023, it’s this year when the farthest planet astrologers utilise finally calls Aquarius home for the next 20 years. In some ways, this event could be considered the final installment of the epochal shift from the earth era and into air. Pluto in…

Overview The longer trend of Uranus in Taurus begins to end this year. Since 2018 you’ve seen plenty of change, chaos and breakthroughs. While the disruptive influence of Uranus can be uncomfortable at times, it also brought excitement and progress that led you to discovering a more authentic version of yourself. Uranus will leave Taurus from 7 July to 8 November, where you can expect life to calm down a bit. Take advantage of this by reflecting on the changes you’ve made, as well as the ones you’ve yet to make but know that you need to. Self-reflection will be a key theme in 2025 as your personal planet, Venus, travels through the zodiac at a slower pace than usual. Venus will undergo a retrograde (reverse cycle) across Aries and…

Overview The very first week of 2025 will see Mars in reverse in your sign as a part of a retrograde cycle that began last year. Thus, you may be more reflective or introspective as the year begins. You’ll be ready to tackle any personal goals, projects or plans when Mars returns to Leo from 18 April to 17 June. During this period, you’ll have a clearer idea of what you want and how to go about getting it. Bolstered with additional confidence, Mars can help you push through any personal blocks or barriers that have held you back. The dates between 27 April and 15 June look particularly potent for expressing yourself or showing up in an empowered or authentic manner in a relationship or at work. Active since…

Overview January and February are key months for you to take a slower pace and be receptive to different openings and opportunities that present during these months. You may take work related study or travel, or spiritual, religious or philosophical pursuits may stir your soul, encouraging you to pursue meaning and purpose. When Mars returns to regular programming from 24 February, he will spend the rest of the year moving through the eastern side of your solar chart. As such, 2025 will be a year about exploring your interests, pursuing personal development and generally getting to know what deeply motivates you. When it comes to your career and work in general, you’ll undergo a trial period that may test your limits or see you devote yourself through further training or…

Overview Your planet, Saturn, is on the move in 2025 and will bring a new area of life to focus on. Saturn has been occupying Pisces and your 2nd House of cash since 2023. You’ll get some reprieve from any financial concerns once Saturn arrives in Aries between 25 May and 1 September. During this time, you’ll get a preview of a new two-and-a-half-year cycle that begins next year. You might be motivated to explore new areas of personal interest when Saturn enters Aries and your 3rd House. Linked to topics of self-development, communication and learning, 2025 may see you commit to new ways of developing your mindset or investing into training that will make significant improvements to your skills. In addition to Saturn, you’ll also have Neptune arriving in…

Serpent shadows the dethroned Dragon, the instigator of a 20-year fire cycle. One year in and one year off a peak fire point, Snakes’ tenure builds on Dragon’s scaffolding. Albeit recoiling from yang excesses, the house of mysteries seeks securities. Snake’s measure of success hinges on its appetite to restore equilibrium. Decoding the elemental alchemy of yin wood and yin fire snake’s former partnerships sheds light on future trends. The pillar union last ponied up 60 years ago, in the mid-60s. The tenor of the times cast light on liberation from the shackles of social norms, as warfare waged and the Rolling Stones penned Can’t Get No Satisfaction (Watts, a triple snake). The former 1905 legacy delivered revolutions, famines, Freud’s theories on sexuality and Einstein’s miracle E=mc2. Dial back a…

These days it seems we just can’t get enough of the beautiful and talented Margot Robbie. While the actress has had many standout performances, it is her portrayal of real-life people that seems to have caught our attention. Could there be an astrological reason why her work with the lives of real people is so successful? Let’s have a look at a few of her more well-known biographical performances. After all, actors are known for being able to “step into someone else’s shoes” to give a notable performance. Before we turn our focus on Robbie, let us look at a few other notable examples of actors portraying famous people and the astrology behind these connections. After all, Australia’s favourite actress is not the only one who can pull off a…

Depending on your persuasion, the Wheel of the Year is prefixed by many names — Celtic, Druid, Pagan or Wicca. The familiar graphic has near cult status, bedecking the walls, altars and journals of devotees of the cosmos. In more recent times, the ubiquitous image has expanded and morphed into a mystical symbol shrouded in layers of occult, spiritual and religious mystery. Freed from the shackles of cultural and metaphysical associations, the eightfold wheel is more universally appropriate and immediately demystified as the Sun’s celestial journey mirrored via seasonal cycles. The term Wheel of the Year was only coined in the 1950s, seeded by a renewed interest in older traditions. Comprised of eight spokes, it typically points to perpetual dates representing annual festival gatherings. Much like sun sign horoscopes shed…

In evolutionary astrology, Pluto represents an evolutionary process that occurs on both a collective and individual level. Each generation contains certain gifts and core wounds to work on, along with an intended direction for them to grow towards. Since we are all unique beings, there are many manifestations of how our soul lessons can play out. Here I discuss the most common wounds and paths to healing. However, since this is general, please keep in mind that some of it may resonate with you and some of it may not. Feel free to take what is useful and leave behind the rest. As Pluto spends between 14-30 years in a sign, there are retrograde periods of about a year or so where Pluto will move back and forth between two…

While hugely popularised, there is a magic and mystery surrounding our horoscopes and the way we identify with our sun sign, often providing a gateway into deeper astrological and personal inquiry. As the center of the universe, the Sun is our eternal life force, the bringer of light and warmth. In astrology, the Sun plays a similar role. As one of the most important features of your birth chart, it is the source of infinite wisdom and intelligence. It shows the persona and the personality, all in one. Your sun demonstrates how you light up life and describes the archetypal ways you are seen by others. This is one of the reasons why many of us can relate to our sun signs or we can easily see the attributes of…

Overview A new era begins in 2025 with Uranus in Gemini. While this longer trend settles in for good next year, you’ll have from 7 July until 8 November to get used to what’s to come. Uranus in Gemini is a once-in-a-lifetime cycle that lasts for seven years. During this time, you’ll radically reshape your life. A no-holds-barred approach to life will help you to explore new opportunities and develop new talents. Uranus demands freedom and, under his touch, you’ll push back on anything that prevents you from expressing yourself authentically. As 2025 provides a preview into this longer cycle, you may enjoy experimenting with anything new, different or unique, while at the same time, tying up loose ends in other areas. The period of July to November is a…

Overview The fated South Node arrives in Virgo from 12 January, heralding an eighteen-month cycle that will be peppered with endings and beginnings. In order to embrace new opportunities, you’ll have to let go of old habits and ways of being. Being overly critical — especially of yourself — self-doubt, stress and worry are topics to work on in 2025. Where the nodes go, eclipses follow. On 14 March, a Full Moon eclipse will spotlight the habits or tendencies that are no longer working for you. Any kind of purging or purifying ritual will be especially helpful, such as journalling or writing or exercise and improving your healthy habits, at this time. The more you can let go of now, the lighter you’ll feel mentally and physically, putting you in…

Overview You will be pulled in multiple directions in 2025 due to significant planetary influences in all four corners of your solar chart. As Mars moves through the top sector of your chart, this year will see much of your energy, attention and focus on outer worldly achievements and progress in your public life. The karmic South Node dips into your 10th House of career and life direction on 12 January for an 18-month stay. The purifying and cleansing influence of the South Node in your career sector can seem like a bust. In eastern astrological philosophies, the South Node is quite a spiritual influence. In 2025, you may get closer to the truth of what you really desire not just in terms of your profession and career, but also…

Overview Much of the pressure you have been experiencing over the past couple of years with Saturn in Pisces begins to shift this year. Saturn comes to your sign just once every 29 years for a two-and-a-half-year visit. During this time, life can feel heavy and constrictive as you undergo a series of tests and challenges that bring about maturity and self-mastery. You’ll get a break from Saturn between 25 May and 1 September, where you may feel an immense relief if life has felt harder than usual. For some Pisceans, Saturn’s temporary exit may help you to realise just how far you’ve come in terms of personal growth and self-development in recent years. Saturn’s exit is only brief and will come back to Pisces from 1 September until late…

RAT (1948, 1960, 1972*, 1984, 1996, 2008, 2020) The year brings merits and demerits. Use the boon of an unsullied reputation to find common ground — or fall victim to the constrictor. Travel features, be it for work or pleasure hangs in the balance, maybe even immigration. Rats roam spiritual roads: beware of darker paths, calamities and unexpected surprises unleashed. 1960 male rodents, your wit may see you wed. Couples take note, love rats breed infidelity, especially if midnight born. Eyes on the prize and you’ll benefit positively, when caution is applied. Keep spending in check. Should sickness strike, recuperation is speedy. N1 352.5°–7.5° OX (1949*, 1961, 1973*, 1985, 1997, 2009*, 2021) Snake and Ox are compatible kin; shore up the power alliance in September when Rooster joins the party.…

New year, new me… or so they say! Every year our social media feeds are filled with a long list of goals and habits people want to kick off for the new year. While I’m all for self-improvement and taking life by the horns, most New Year’s goals or resolutions are dead in the water by the end of January usually because life’s gotten busy again and the Capricorn-induced willpower (the sign the Sun is placed in at the beginning of the calendar year) has well and truly worn out. Often this is because we’ve either bitten off more than we can chew or we’ve chosen goals that aren’t actually aligned with the season of life we’re currently in. This is one of the greatest benefits of astrology. It can…

The astrology of the second half of the 2020s heralds accelerated change and technological innovations that will reshape reality in ways that will make the recent past seem like a distant memory. Part of the reason is that Pluto, Neptune and Uranus will all change signs in between 2023 and 2025, with all three transitioning from slower moving nocturnal signs into faster moving diurnal (of or during the day) signs that will all form trine or sextile aspects with one another. There has been a lot of astrological discussion on the significance of Pluto entering Aquarius and Uranus entering Gemini, for good reason, but the scorching heat of Neptune in Aries will be a key catalyst of the vast changes set in motion. There is a dramatic contrast between Neptune…

Ascendant The eastern horizon at the moment of birth. Located at the 9 o’clock position when looking at a birth chart. Also known as your rising sign, the ascendant depicts the 1st House of the physical body and outlines the way you interface with the world. The ascendant, and the ruling planet of the sign in the 1st House, is as equal in importance to the Sun and the Moon. Aspect The geometrical patterns that planets form as they move through the sky. Each aspect describes the nature of the connection two planets share. Some aspects are considered to be more ease-inducing, in flow or supportive. Other aspects highlight tension or difficulty that may require a compromise. Benefic A planet that helps, supports, uplifts or affirms — usually Venus and…

Overview The year 2025 has all the astrological hallmarks of being a life changing year. This is due to several rare cycles activating your sign in 2025. Neptune in Aries Not seen since the 19th Century, 30 March to 22 October will introduce you to a continuing trend that will last for fourteen years. This soulful cycle will help you to explore some of life’s existential questions. You might feel the urge to let some parts of your identity go as you shift your focus toward spiritual or creative pursuits. You might opt for a slower pace as what you once considered a priority may no longer be. If you feel increased fatigue or notice that you’re less inclined to initiate new projects between these dates, then you’re exactly where…

Overview From 10 June, a year-long cycle of Jupiter in Cancer begins, bringing with it growth and expansion as well as benefits and blessings. It’s been over a decade since Jupiter visited your sign, helping you to blossom into a more authentic version of yourself. You may gain confidence or find it easier to emerge from your shell and chase your dreams. A pet project may become a priority or you may find other people in your life are more willing and able to rise up and support you. Jupiter has the Midas Touch and while in your sign, a little effort will yield big results. Being in the right place at the right time may really change your fortune. Jupiter is a planet of hope, faith and optimism. Even…

Overview Thanks to a Mars retrograde, 2025 begins with a career and life direction review for Librans that starts on 6 January. You may begin the year contemplating what you want out of your professional life and your life direction overall. Through until 24 February, you may oscillate between feelings of motivation and certainty about what you want and fatigue and confusion. Overall, Mars retrograde at the very top of your solar chart isn’t about pushing for progress or striking out in new directions. Instead, pull your energy inwards and figure out a plan that will support your goals over the next two years. While a Mars retrograde can put your career plans temporarily on hold, which can be both frustrating and disappointing, it can help you figure out what…

Overview Your patron planet, Saturn, offers a preview of what life might look like for you over the next two and half years. The period from 25 May to 1 September may give you a glimpse of new responsibilities and new challenges. You may want to solidify the foundation of your life in some way shape or form. This might mean new or renewed commitments at home or you may dig into the remnants of your past to gain a deeper understanding of who you are and where you come from. After a slow start, Mars will traverse through the upper part of your solar horoscope which will bring opportunities to flex your muscles and make significant achievements in the public eye. Your most active professional phase will extend from…

“This is the end, beautiful friend.”– Jim Morrison Now I don’t mean to sound overly melodramatic, but 2025 is a significant year of endings both numerologically and astrologically. With many planets hitting the anaretic (last degree of a sign before it moves into a new sign) and karmic 29th degree of their sign — which I will unpack throughout this article — plus the fact we are entering a collective nine year numerologically, this truly is the year of closure. We will be tying up loose ends, completing projects, unhooking from the karma drama and readying ourselves for a whole new cycle, a whole new world. Is it the end of the beginning or the beginning of the end? I’m sure everyone has felt a shift; we really are in…

Between 9-10 June 2025, Jupiter will leave the sign of Gemini, where it has been traveling through since late May 2024, and enter Cancer. Here it will stay for a full year, not leaving Cancer until 29 June 2026. Although Jupiter’s change of sign occurs once per year, taking roughly twelve years to go through the entire zodiac, it’s only once every 12 years that Jupiter spends an entire year in the sign of its exaltation, giving us some of the absolute best and most inspiring Jupiterian significations. This begs the questions; why is Jupiter considered so beneficial and positive when transiting the sign of Cancer, a feminine water sign that the Moon calls home? And, what might this mean for each of us, based on the unique sign/house combinations…

“My name is Lord Rahu. I am the ruler of eclipses, the sworn enemy of the Sun and the Moon, and the master of the most profound mysteries and darkest secrets. In the realm of darkness, I hold dominion, where shadows move and creatures wander.” The turbulent oceans captured the fishermen’s attention. He observed unusual currents and witnessed birds veering off their regular flight paths. While looking towards the southwest, he observed the water swirling and churning, forming a powerful tornado. The vortex mesmerised him, and he couldn’t look away as a bizarre figure emerged from the centre. Millions of waves merged, creating a breathtaking display that made the creature’s body a sight to behold. The waves shone like diamonds, with each one reflecting the sunlight in its own unique…

After several years in Pisces, Saturn enters the tropical sign of Aries on 2 May 2025 and will remain there until 1 September. This period will give us early clues as to what Saturn has in store for us in the coming years, as Saturn does not finally leave Aries until April 2028. Traditionally, Saturn in Aries is thought to be one of the more problematic placements, as it is the sign where the greater malefic is opposite its exaltation (Libra). This condition known as fall or depression, where it is thought the planet has a significantly weakened expression. It should be noted right away that this presumed weakness of Saturn in Aries is not necessarily an indictment of the character of those born under this placement, but more often…
