Intuitive Astrology Forecast for 2025

Intuitive Astrology Forecast for 2025

By Tanaaz

Posted on December 28, 2024




2025 is a number 9 year in numerology, which represents the closing of a cycle. Things tend to come to a culmination or harvest point in a number 9 year, as we are able to reap what we have sown and close the door on things that we need to let go of.

While our numerology points to a year of endings, astrologically, we are shown that all endings pave the way for new beginnings, as in 2025, we remarkably have four major planets and the lunar nodes changing signs. It is incredibly rare to have so many planets changing signs in one year, so this definitely makes 2025 stand out!

Going in celestial order, we have Jupiter moving into Cancer, Saturn moving into Aries, Uranus moving into Gemini, and Neptune moving into Aries. The Lunar Nodes also shift into Pisces and Virgo. Jupiter moves every 12 months, so its move is to be expected, but slower-moving planets like Uranus and Neptune spend close to a decade in each sign, so this is definitely something to watch.

Fitting with the theme of endings, it seems that 2025 will be helping us to wrap up some big cosmic cycles that we have been working with for sometime. Things are likely to come to a head as these planets complete their journeys and get ready to begin new ones.

We also have the cosmic lovers, Mars and Venus, both retrograde in 2025, back to back. We kick the year off with Mars in Retrograde, but shortly after it ends, Venus has its turn. It seems that the Universe wants us to really slow down, reflect, and recalibrate, especially in the first part of the year, when it comes to what we are choosing to spend our energy on (Mars) and how we give to others (Venus).

2025 also brings a new Eclipse cycle in Pisces and Virgo. On each Eclipse, we will be guided to bring harmony and balance to the spiritual (Pisces) and the practical (Virgo). Both Pisces and Virgo are strong feminine energies that encourage us to lead with our intuition and spiritual gifts.

We are also gifted with two Blood Moon Eclipses this year, one in April and one in September. Blood Moon Eclipses are the most potent kind we can experience and tend to bring powerful endings, further supporting the vibration of our number 9 year.

With so many big planetary moves in 2025, it seems that the pace is changing. While we may not be able to fully realize all the shifts and changes this year, it does seem we are getting little tastes of what is to come when we begin 2026, a number 1 year in numerology and a time of new beginnings.

Let’s now do a breakdown of the major astrological events of 2025-

Astrology for 2025

Mars Retrograde December 6, 2024- February 23, 2025

We start the year with Mars in Retrograde. Mars began preparing for its retrograde journey back in October 2024. Perhaps it was at this time that we started to feel a dip in our energy levels and perhaps even a shift in our motivation. Or, perhaps we started to feel some heated emotions rise up within us, begging to be explored. Maybe we also felt a need to armor up in some ways and protect ourselves. It was at this time that Mars began planting seeds for its retrograde journey, which officially began on December 6, 2024. Now, as we move into 2025, Mars Retrograde is continuing to help us recalibrate our energy levels and what drives us. We may feel extra sensitive or charged up when it comes to our home and family life, or we may find that a lot of our attention is being drawn in this direction. We may feel it is time to make changes in how we are utilizing our energy. Mars will remain in retrograde until February but won’t emerge from its shadow phase until May 2025. You can read more on this here.

Lunar Nodes move into Virgo and Pisces – January 11

The Lunar Nodes move into Pisces and Vigro, setting us up with a new Eclipse cycle. With the North Lunar Node moving into Pisces and the South Lunar Node moving into Virgo, it seems that we are being called to step into more of our intuitive, Piscean qualities and to anchor our purpose towards the spiritual. We are invited to feel with compassion and to remember that we are indeed all connected. With the North Node moving into Pisces, we hope to see a push towards peace, love, and harmony. We may see a rise in creativity or a greater shift when it comes to our spirituality. On the flipside however, we may see more extreme religious views or harmful actions taken in the name of religion. February 7, will also be a day to watch as the North Node conjuncts Neptune, unlocking a highly intuitive portal that can help us tap into higher dimensions. April 21, also brings Saturn conjunct the North Node, helping us to take responsibility for our higher calling.

Chinese Astrology: Year of the Green Wood Snake – January 29

While I am definitely no expert on Chinese Astrology, it is always interesting to look at what their astrological system has to say about the year ahead. The year of the snake is said to bring intuition, wisdom, fluidity, and change. The zodiac of the snake reminds us that it’s time to shed our skin and remain open-minded and flexible to the new possibilities that can arise.

Venus Retrograde: March 1- April 12

Venus stations retrograde in Aries and makes its way back into Pisces. Venus Retrograde is a time to reflect on our relationships and the giving and receiving of love in our lives. Old relationship wounds may resurface, or we may find that we are finally able to see through patterns of the past that have kept us stuck or limited when it comes to matters of the heart. This is a very heart-opening time but can stir a lot of vulnerability as well. Experiencing this Venus Retrograde on the back of Mars Retrograde will create an intensity to the first few months of 2025 and result in us feeling stuck or perhaps overwhelmed with our current situation. Like all things, it will pass, and we will come out the other side more awakened and connected to our hearts and how we wish to direct this energy!

Blood Moon Eclipses: March 14 (Virgo) & September 7 (Pisces)

Blood Moon Eclipses are incredibly powerful and tend to bring swift and abrupt changes or endings into our lives. As they fall on a Full Moon, we may experience something releasing from our lives or an ending may occur. We can feel this energy up to a month before the Eclipse arrives and up to a month after it passes. The last time we experienced a Virgo/Pisces Eclipse cycle was back in 2015-2017, so perhaps look back to this time to see what themes were coming up for you. It’s not that the same things will happen again, but similar themes and lessons of growth may emerge.

Neptune in Aries- March 30

Neptune in Aries is a very headstrong energy, and we may have to be mindful of getting blind-sighted by our egos or the egos and bravado of others. Neptune in Aries is a wonderful time however, for connecting with our authenticity and for fueling a deeper spiritual connection.

Neptune moves into Aries on March 30 but will only remain here until October 22, due to its retrograde motion. It won’t return to Aries until January 26, 2026. You could say the Universe is giving us a little preview of what Neptune in Aries will be all about from March-October.

As Neptune is such a slow moving planet, the last time it was in Aries was back from 1861-1875, so this is definitely a rare and special energy to work with that will transcend us to new levels of consciousness.

It is also worth noting that as Neptune in Pisces comes to an end, we will be wrapping up a cycle that began in 2011. Perhaps you can look back to this time to see how you have evolved when it comes to your spirituality, creativity, and the way in which you see the world.

Neptune can sometimes give us rose-colored glasses or take them off and introduce a new color! It can create illusions and deceptions, but can also help us to paint our reality in whatever direction we choose.

Neptune is also the planet of dreams, so we may find that goals and dreams we had way back in 2011 have now come to pass, or have perhaps evolved into something new.

Solar Eclipses: March 29 (Aries) & September 21 (Virgo)

The Aries Eclipse in March is the last Eclipse to take place in the Aries-Libra cycle, which we have been working on since the middle of 2023. As we reach the end of the Eclipse cycle, we may find that we are able to see the bigger picture with more clarity. Solar Eclipses tend to bring new beginnings and are powerful points of manifestation. Intentions can be magnified under this Eclipse, so let the Universe and others know what you need. Put it out to the Universe and watch the magic unfold!

Saturn in Aries – May 24

Saturn will enter Aries on May 24, but due to its retrograde, will backtrack into Pisces from September until February 2026, so once again, we are getting a little preview of what Saturn in Aries has to offer.

Saturn in Aries is going to turn our attention to leadership and how we can step up and be responsible for ourselves and our actions. Saturn in Aries is going to want us to take the lead and to proudly stand up for all that we believe in.

In astrology, Saturn is considered to be at one of its most challenging expressions in the fire sign of Aries, but where there are great challenges, there is also great growth!

Saturn, after all, is our Master Teacher, and is always pushing us to be the best we can be.

The last time Saturn was in Aries was from 1996-1998, so you can think back to themes that were perhaps prevalent in your life to see how you may experience this new Saturn in Aries cycle. If you were born in that time period, you will be having your first Saturn Return! You can read more on this here.

It is also important to pay attention to the cycle Saturn is closing in Pisces, too. Saturn first entered Pisces back in March 2023, so reflect on what lessons and challenges your Master Teacher has been showing you.

Saturn may be a harsh energy at times, but it always leaves gifts and rewards for our efforts too!

Jupiter in Cancer- June 9

Jupiter is another major player to move zodiacs this year, and will shift from Gemini into Cancer. Jupiter in Cancer is going to turn our attention to our home and family life and will center most of our attention and focus on our immediate environment.

Jupiter moves into Cancer on June 9th and will remain here until mid-2026. Jupiter loves to be in the homey, heart-centered sign of Cancer and this cosmic union is considered to be a highly favorable one.

While Jupiter is in Cancer, we may be feeling more sensitive, especially when it comes to our familiar relationships and how our needs are taken care of. We may come into a deeper understanding of what we need to feel nourished or may finally take steps to care and nurture ourselves on a deeper level.

Jupiter in Cancer is also a positive omen for those looking to start a family, heal family relationships, move or sell a new home, and for creating more love in our lives.

Whenever a planet moves into a new sign, it is also important to pay attention to the cycle that just ended. Jupiter has been moving through Gemini since May 2024, so reflect on what expansion and themes have come up for you. You can read more on the Jupiter in Gemini cycle here.

Uranus in Gemini- July 7

Since 2018, Uranus has been moving through the earthy and stable sign of Taurus. This has not been a favorable position for Uranus, but we have survived through it all! Now, on July 7, Uranus is going to dip its toes into Gemini, bringing a new wave of energy and the start of new cycle.

Uranus is the planet of change and awakening, so as it shifts zodiacs, we are going to feel the rumbling! Uranus will remain in Gemini until November 8th, before retrograding back into Taurus until April 2026, so once again, in 2025, we are getting a little taste of what this new cycle is to bring.

In Taurus, Uranus has been rocking our foundations and testing their strength and longevity. On the world stage, we may have seen upsets in the financial industries, agriculture, and the environment- all areas that Taurus presides over.

Now, as it moves into Gemini, its focus will shift away from our foundations and onto our thought processes and how we communicate with others. In Gemini, Uranus will bring big changes to the world of media and communications. It can also bring shifts to how we socialize and interact with others.

Uranus will be in Gemini until 2033, so we have plenty of time to work with this energy and receive its gifts!

As one cycle begins, another closes, and seeing as we will never experience Uranus in Taurus again, it is definitely worthwhile reflecting on your foundations and how they have evolved, strengthened, and shifted since 2018 as Uranus has made its way through Taurus.

Jupiter Square Saturn and Neptune – June 15th

Another notable cosmic alignment in 2025 is the square between Jupiter, and Saturn and Neptune. Squares are considered tense alignments that push us so far that we are forced to act! Squares can be challenging, but they create movement and help us to navigate out of sticky situations.

With so much slow, retrograde energy in the first part of the year, this Jupiter Square Saturn and Neptune may get things moving again. We may feel inspired to expand our limited vision and perhaps see things from a new perspective.

Jupiter is the planet of expansion, so it will also expand the themes that the Saturn-Neptune conjunction will bring (you can read more on this below).

Saturn Neptune Conjunction – July 31

With Saturn and Neptune both moving into Aries this year, it is inevitable that these two cosmic bodies will meet! While they officially come together on July 31st, they are going to be hovering close through most of 2025 and into 2026.

Saturn and Neptune meet every 37 years, but have never met in Aries in our lifetime and never will again! Aries is the zodiac of new beginnings, so it does seem that this Saturn-Neptune meeting may bring some fresh new energies and perspectives our way.

Saturn is all about practicality and coming back down to reality, whereas Neptune is want is beyond reality and escaping reality! We have an interesting dynamic when these two meet, and in Aries, we may see some bold moves and new ideas taking shape.

It may also be worthwhile mentioning that I was born under the last Saturn-Neptune conjunction, which took place in Capricorn, and I feel this planetary pair has helped me to take my spiritual ideas (Neptune) and bring them into reality through this website (Saturn). Saturn is helping to make things tangible and understandable, and Neptune is feeding into the spiritual and creative energies.

One of my astrology teachers also pointed out that the very name of this site, Forever Conscious is very Saturn-Neptune in nature, with Saturn representing the “forever” part and Neptune representing the “conscious” part!

It remains to be seen what this Saturn-Neptune energies will bring, but even in Aries, we can expect to see some tangible or practical applications of the spiritual.

Summary of the Astrology of 2025

The first part of 2025 is likely to feel slow and sluggish due to Mars and Venus Retrograde. We may really feel challenged when it comes to our feelings of motivation and what ignites our heart’s desire.

In March, we are greeted with a potent Blood Moon Eclipse, which is likely to stir a lot of emotions and perhaps see us experiencing the end of something significant in our lives. We may feel stuck in a huge surge of emotions, but eventually, things will clear and perhaps even look brighter than they were before.

As we reach the midway mark of 2025, we will be working with lots of new planetary cycles and big cosmic events, including the Saturn-Neptune conjunction. It is at this point that we may feel things moving forward and that we are able to gain some momentum.

September brings another Blood Moon Eclipse, which will once again rattle our world and perhaps stir our emotions, but following this, we end 2025 with a lot of growth and room for new beginnings!

Wishing you a blessed 2025!

Taurus Full Moon November 2024

Taurus Full Moon November 2024

Intuitive Astrology

By Tanaaz

Posted on November 16, 2023





The Taurus Full Moon lights up our sky on November 15, 2024. This Full Moon holds some wildcard energy and may have us feeling scattered and restless, but the grounding, earthy vibrations from the Taurus bull will be on our side.

The story goes that the Taurean bull is happy grazing and sleeping in its paddock. But if the bull is poked and prodded or moved to new pastures, the bull ceases to be so calm and happy. The Taurus bull does not like change, even though it is a part of life.

While there is a stereotype that Taurus is not a fan of change, it is actually deeper than this. Taurus energy is about making a long-term mark on whatever it is committed to. It’s not that they are afraid of change, it is moreso that they can do their best work when they are given ample time to deepen their roots and work on something till it is truly completed.

Of course, life doesn’t always work that way. We are not always able to leave our mark the way we intended to. We are not always able to deepen our roots. Sometimes, life cuts us short because it’s time for us to move on to other things.

Looking at this Taurus Full Moon, it seems like perhaps we are being cut short. Something may come to an abrupt end, or we may be asked to move on to something new. We may have had our roots deeply entwined in something and may now find ourselves needing to let go and step back.

There are new pastures for us to venture to, and even though we may have been content where we were, nothing stays the same for long.

The Taurus Full Moon and Uranus, the planet of Change and Awakening

While change may be flowing under this Taurus Full Moon, we can lean on the earthy vibrations it is also offering. Grounding our energy, feeling secure and stable in our being, and spending time in nature are all things we can do to feel a sense of calm amongst the chaos.

As hard as change is at times, the best thing we can do is to go with the flow and remember that change always offers us the opportunity to try again and make things better.

A lot of this changing energy that we are experiencing under this Full Moon comes from the planet Uranus, which is hovering just one degree away. While Uranus is known as the planet of change, it is also known as the planet of awakening.

Uranus can bring great awakening into our lives, sometimes disguised in the form of change and upheaval.

Uranus can raise our Spirit, helping us to align not with our ego selves, but with our divine selves. Sometimes, this requires us to shed layers, let go of baggage, and be moved to a new vantage point.

So, if you feel the ground is shaking and things are being flipped upside down in your world under the November Full Moon, see if you can look at things through the lens of awakening. See if you can shift your vantage point to see the spiritual lessons and perhaps, gifts that follow.

The Taurus Full Moon and Saturn Direct

Saturn, our Master Teacher and Lord of Karma, is also stationing direct under this Full Moon, ending its retrograde for the year.

Saturn Retrograde is like cosmic exam time for our soul lessons, but now that its retrograde is over, it’s time to graduate and celebrate! Know whatever challenging lessons you have been moving through since June 2024, will now begin to soften.

You will be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel and perhaps even experience the rewards of all your efforts. It has long been said that when the Lord of Karma stations direct, we receive our karmic rewards!

It is my hope to you reading this that all the beautiful karmic rewards that are meant to find you will weave their way into your life under the Taurus Full Moon.

While there is some volatility under this Full Moon that may be unsettling, it is always worthwhile remembering that nothing stays the same for long.

Eventually, our Bull will get used to the new paddock it has found itself in and will begin deepening its roots in new and magical ways.
