According to professional consulting astrologer, researcher and teacher Joe Theodore, we're in for a wild ride, with certain dates representing momentous January 2025 astrology transits sure to affect each zodiac sign.
"January 2025 is going to change everything in our lives," Theodore predicted in a TikTok video. "January is going to be massive for the beginning of the entire year."
So what do we have to look forward to next?
Here are 10 fated dates in January 2025 that have a powerful effect on each zodiac sign:
1. January 2: Asteroid Vesta enters Scorpio
Design: YourTango
2025 begins powerfully with a double transit on January 2. The first is Vesta entering Scorpio. As an asteroid representing the soul flame and eternal devotion, this transit right at the start of the year brings excessive intensity to any intentions you set, so choose your wishes wisely because your soul will latch onto them for the long haul.
This isn't the time for “maybe” wishes and goals that you are comfortable not achieving, as that will feel like a breach of promise to you. Focusing on relationships and hidden knowledge will reward you in the long run.
2. January 2: Venus enters Pisces
Design: YourTango
Venus in Pisces is the second transit on January 2. As the planet of love is exalted in this zodiac sign, this Venusian period will be significant for the collective, especially if they are looking for love or hoping to find their twin flame.
So make sure to do a love ritual if that's your goal and be open to the mysterious ways the cosmos shall fulfil this wish.
3. January 6: Mars retrograde enters Cancer
Design: YourTango
The next transit of note is more of a change of zodiac signs when Mars retrograde moves from Leo to Cancer on January 6. This creates a dramatic shift in our hearts and personal drives, especially for those already militant about protecting their hearts and homes and are wary of social change or innovation.
Mars retrograde in Cancer can also bring back the need to burrow in your safe space and not engage as much with the world. This can dampen your natural drive and goal-setting urges, but if you use this period to meditate and ideate, you will find yourself walking the positive line of this transit.
4. January 8: Mercury enters Capricorn
Design: YourTango
When January 8 rolls around, Mercury will enter Capricorn, creating extraordinary times. Since we will be in Capricorn season at the time, Mercury in Capricorn will only enhance the need within the collective to be surefooted and sharp-sighted about their various goals, especially in their career.
Ideas may not come as swiftly to you, but when they do, you will be able to see so many details that strategizing will become easy. Journaling will help you map out your ideas during this period.
5. January 11: The North and South Node change signs
Design: YourTango
One of the most important transits of the month, if not 2025 completely, occurs on January 11 when the North Node shifts out of Aries and enters Pisces. This change of axis to North Node in Pisces and South Node in Virgo will have a dramatic effect on the collective.
For one, people will suddenly want more substance in their lives and require a purpose to drive them forward. A simple wish for expensive cars or big house will not cut it anymore as we are urged to find more internal fulfillment.
South Node in Virgo may also bring back certain experiences in your life that you may have wished to leave in the past. Whether this is an old habit of perfectionism resurging, meeting more people who seem to cling to unnecessary details while forgetting the bird's eye view, feeling as if the community is becoming more stingy with its resources and help, or experiencing drops in your self-esteem, try to reach for the lessons of the North Node to help you find balance and growth.
Perfectionism will only hold you back during this transit that lasts until July 26, 2026.
6. January 13: Full Moon in Cancer
Design: YourTango
January 13 will witness a beautiful Full Moon in Cancer beckoning everyone to set aside their petty battles and anxieties and focus on the wishes they want to manifest. As the ruling luminary of Cancer, a full moon in this zodiac sign is extremely potent, so make sure not to miss this window of opportunity for some goal-setting. Preparing some Full Moon water can be helpful for making your manifestations more powerful.
7. January 19: Aquarius season begins
Design: YourTango
Capricorn season will come to an end on January 19 when the Sun moves into Aquarius. This transitional day will create some emotional fluctuations in the collective. If you are feeling the procrastination-inducing effects of Mars retrograde in Cancer and afraid that your goals and resolutions for 2025 will go down the drain,. Aquarius season will help bring back that spark big time!
Lean into the power of Aquarius to discover your unique self outside of collective wishes and ideologies. Under this rebellious Aquarian energy, you will come to understand exactly how you can be of service to humanity in your unique way, even if not everyone understands your innovative streak right away.
8. January 27: Mercury enters Aquarius
Design: YourTango
Mercury will transition to a new zodiac sign for a second time this month when it moves to Aquarius on January 27. This is another positive omen as Mercury in Aquarius enhances the energy of Aquarius season, helping us feel more in sync with the world and the way progress is occurring.
Don't be surprised if your mind is extra sharp during this period, giving you the clarity and insight to notice a bad idea when you see one. Trust your instincts.
9. January 29: New Moon in Aquarius
Design: YourTango
On January 29, a New Moon in Aquarius brings us another surge of this future-focused zodiac energy. Make up your mind about what kind of future you would like to live in alongside your community then ground it with the power of this new moon, which gives you the power to fully and completely embrace who you are.
10. January 30: Uranus retrograde in Taurus ends
Design: YourTango
Uranus direct in Taurus may not be the best placement for the innovation-savvy planet Uranus, however, this transit has the power to create more swift positive change in our material reality.
Just watch out for greedy folks who may come out of the woodwork to capitalize on this changemaker energy. Outer planets always reveal the true nature lurking within groups, no matter how hard they try to conceal it.
