Taurus (April 20 – May 20):
What intentions are you setting for the new year? The Sagittarius Sun invites you to reflect on the new beginnings you want to cultivate, though these intentions will require your Taurean patience and care to bring to life. Uranus, the awakener, has been shaking things up in your sign since 2018. It’s in the final phase of this cycle, and you’re on the home stretch of this rollercoaster ride! 2025’s astrology prepares you for lasting stability.
Mercury retrograde (until December 15) compels you to look inward and reevaluate your life. This reflective energy may spark nostalgia, prompting you to revisit past relationships and experiences. Consider the contrasts between what worked for you then and what aligns with your values now. The Gemini Full Moon on December 15 helps you appreciate the introspection.
Mars retrograde after December 6 brings an added layer of complexity, particularly in relationships. You may feel more sensitive to conflict or tension, and disputes can feel heightened. If you’ve been biting back anger or frustration, this retrograde cycle might push you to express it but be strategic. Everyone feels more on edge during this cycle, which lasts until February 23.
As the Sun shifts into Capricorn on December 21, it’s a time for those seedling intentions to root in creative processes. For those in the Northern Hemisphere, the winter solstice marks the longest night of the year, but it’s also a celebration of the birth of the light. This transition mirrors your inner journey: embracing the unknown and hidden aspects of yourself while nurturing the seeds of future growth. The Capricorn New Moon on December 30 offers an opportunity to say yes to life, love, and happiness. Let this lunation help define how to build a future that aligns with your values.
