Well, good news, there is! Sort of, anyway. The astrology of each New Year impacts every aspect of life, of course, and one astrologer has done the zodiac math on how you can make 2025 work for you in all things love and romance.
The astrologer shared her 'cosmic cheat sheet' for improving your love life and relationships in 2025.
According to a survey conducted by Tinder, a full 40% of the app's users say that they plan to use astrology to inform their dating and romance choices in 2025. So dating app Flirtini asked their in-house astrologer Neda, also known online as Neda The Astrologer, for her take on how we can all leverage 2025's cosmic vibes to benefit matters of the heart.
January: Prioritize vulnerability and compassion

On January 11, the North Node and South Nodes switched signs, and the North Node's entry into Pisces is all about spiritual connections and empathy. So Neda said it's time to get vulnerable in order to deepen bonds and clarify communication.
“Lean into emotional openness to foster meaningful connections," Neda recommended. Don't think that just because January is nearly over you missed the boat here — the North Node is in Pisces until July, so this is good advice for the entire first half of the year.
March 1 to April 12: Reflect on relationship values

Venus is doing her retrograde big one this spring, moving backward (or appearing to, anyway) in Aries from March 1 to March 26, and Pisces from March 27 to April 12.
Neda said this is a good time for the "re-evaluation of love, attraction, and relationship values." Get down to brass tacks about not just what you want, but what's best for you. "Let go of superficial attachments," Neda advised, "and focus on what nurtures your soul to create lasting and fulfilling partnerships."
May 24: Balance independence and commitment

In astrology, Saturn is all about discipline, structure, and long-term goals. Its move into passionate, energetic Aries on May 24 brings opportunities to focus on "balancing independence with commitment" in your loving relationships, according to Neda.
To get the most out of this transit, Neda suggested we use this time to work on maintaining our individuality while also thinking about how we can contribute to "partnership stability" and "harmony."
June 9, 2025 to June 30, 2026: Nurture emotional bonds

During these dates, Jupiter, the planet of growth and abundance, transits through emotional, nurturing, and intuitive Cancer, and Neda said this is likely to give a boost to emotional bonds, especially in relationships that are family-focused.
That could mean long-term partnerships where kids are on the horizon, or it could mean literal familial relations — or both. Regardless, it's a great time to focus on creating harmony among our loved ones of all types.
July 7: Stay open to change and unconventional dynamics

"Uranus's transit into Gemini on July 7 injects excitement and unpredictability, pushing individuals to explore unconventional dynamics and embrace surprising romantic opportunities," Neda said.
This is because Uranus is all about individuality and innovation, while Gemini is about curiosity and the more intellectual side of things. That's a powerful combination, of course, and Neda said it might bring a bit of the unconventional or unexpected to our love lives.
"Adaptability will be key," she added so that we can both get the most out of this transit and not be thrown off by it.
September 7: Foster transformation and embrace vulnerability
Design: YourTango
September brings both a full moon and a total lunar eclipse in Pisces on the seventh. Lunar eclipses in astrology usually mean some kind of sea change — the ending of something and the beginning of another.
This one happening in imaginative, dreamy Pisces on September 7 "encourages the release of old patterns and the embrace of vulnerability," Neda noted. It's all about "fostering deeper, transformative connections."
March 14 to April 6, July 17 to August 10, and November 9 to 29: Practice patience

We've arrived at the elephants in the room — the Mercury retrogrades of 2025, which always bring challenges in communication and understanding.
That's typically a bit dicey in relationships, but it doesn't have to be. Neda said it's all about preparing for and moving with this particular flow. "Practice patience and clarity to avoid misunderstandings and maintain harmony in your relationships," she recommended.
Double-dot those I's and triple-cross those T's and you should weather the challenge just fine — and maybe even come out of it having deepened your connection or learned something vital about your partner or yourself.
