From the start, it is clear that 2025 is going to be a big year for your relationships, though with a chance to also capture the spirit of romance. It is in the latter months of each year that your romantic sector becomes active and while all planetary activity there should have ended last year, a retrograde phase has kept Mercury here, allowing this to spill into the early days of the year. It is not until he leaves on 8th January that Mercury’s mission to give your heart a voice and to put heart and mind on the same page will end. After that, apart from the Moon’s monthly visit, there will be no planetary activity on the romantic front until later in the year. As well as making Mercury’s final days important and a chance to make the spirit of romance a priority from the start, the Moon’s return from 24th January to 26th January also needs to be captured. Meanwhile, it is a different story on the relationship front, where there is not only continuous planetary activity all month but there will be for the next two decades, thanks to Pluto’s return in November. Here now until 2044, the planet of change and transformation is going to keep the focus on your relationships. Venus, the planet of love will begin the year in your relationship sector and while she will leave on 3rd January, not before giving your heart a voice. Until she leaves later next month, the dwarf planet Ceres will continue her first deep dive into your relationship needs and priorities in four years while as is the case at this time each year, the Sun’s return on 20th January will put the solar spotlight on your relationships. The last planet to return will be Mercury, with the planet of communication returning on 28th January to get the communication lines open. The Moon will make two visits to your relationship sector this year, first from 1st January to 3rd January and again from 29th January to 31st January. Both times will be a chance to check in and become more emotionally engaged and aware but for the second time as a New Moon.
