Aquarius Horoscope 2025

The Aquarian path is both the tower we build to safeguard our identity and the lightning that forces its collapse. "It's always darkest before the dawn" applies here—Aquarius lessons revolve around detachment, limits and the innovations born from upheaval.

Letting go of your self-pity and grievances are key to successfully navigating this year's Aquarius season. Let’s dive into the astrological energies that set it apart from other years...

Sun in Aquarius Forecast 2025

Last year, the Sun entered Aquarius accompanied by the underworld God Pluto. Pluto will hang out in Aquarius until 2043, inspiring us to explore the dark side of ideology, algorithms, artificial intelligence, technology and collective action. Since it’s an 18-year passage, don’t expect big daily changes. Instead, expect issues surrounding how thoughts shape reality and collective experience to linger in the background of many other stories.

And so, as the Sun enters Aquarius for his 2025 visit, we’re celebrating the first year of Pluto’s long residence with a chance to reflect on the dark side of Aquarius. Consider how your beliefs \ shape your reality, and perhaps you’ll give yourself a head start on what it may take others a few decades to learn.

As this Aquarius season begins, the Sun harmonizes with a happy-go-lucky Moon in Libra. The Moon sets the emotional tone of the season; while it’s in Libra, it’s on the lookout for like-minded souls with whom to share the journey. Together, the two encourage conversation and cooperation. No one exists in isolation; we all inhabit a space we create together. Take a moment to consider your own role in your community.

The Moon also trines a slightly scattered Jupiter in Gemini. Though he may not offer much of his usual sense of purpose, at least Jove hums his favorite tune: “always look on the bright side of life.” It will add a little levity to even the darkest situations, which may help us find our way through.

Aquarius’ ruler, Saturn, also explores the power of connection as he swims through Pisces. Saturn likes it best when things are grounded, practical and predictable. However, watery Pisces is much like the ocean; it’s broad, vast and difficult to pin down in concrete ways. Saturn has little choice but to learn the power of embracing the present moment.

Luckily for this lunation, Saturn is buoyed by a meetup with the love goddess Venus, exalted as if rising from the sea foam. She’s a light for Saturn’s heavy heart, which means his work goes smoothly and pleasantly. Joining their concentration is an easy-going Mercury in Capricorn. While hanging out with the Sea Goat, Mercury seeks to keep things simple, focusing on essentials rather than complex theories.

In other news, Mars continues his retrograde through Cancer, where the feisty red planet is both in fall and out-of-bounds. It’s the silent screaming “I gotta get out of here” that’s simmering in the background of many social situations. If you feel yourself swept up in the sentiment, take a moment to count to 10, and then count again. If you need to get out of a situation, then just do it. Reactively whining or yelling rarely solves anything.

Best Approach to Aquarius Season 2025

What is your best approach this Aquarius season? With little hints from the Moon, Jupiter and Venus, collective action is likely key to your success this season. But that means overcoming your grievances or self-pity that you are unfairly treated. Take a hard look at how your thoughts or expectations create this sense of injustice. It’s much easier to respond effectively if you can separate out your internal noise from what is actually happening in the real world. One of the gifts of Aquarius is the ability to see reality as it is, not as you wish it to be.
