Welcome to 2025, Aquarius. When the year begins, several planets are retrograde. This includes eccentric Uranus, your ruler. During Uranus retrograde, you reevaluate all areas of your life with the goal of becoming happier. However, in early 2025, warrior Mars is also retrograde. This could see shifts in libido and lowered drive at work, but it offers an ideal chance to connect and build community. The Leo full moon in February could bring culmination in your love life. And, when Venus goes retrograde, love may feel sluggish, delays in money news could occur, and it’s not considered the best time to make major changes to your appearance—save those makeovers for the summer or fall.
You’ll want to take note of the Mercury retrogrades in 2025. While not cause for alarm, they could lead to misunderstandings with friends. Mark down the date of the Sagittarius full moon, as arguments with friends could occur. Whether they lead to healing or more drama depends on your approach. There is an eclipse in the middle of Venus retrograde that requires lots of self-care, and you’ll want to take it easy during the full moon in your sign. The same advice holds true for another eclipse in the fall. Sagittarius season is excellent for your social life, and, in the fall, Uranus goes retrograde again, bookending the year with introspection.

Overall, 2025 points to a rather smooth year in love. When the year begins, your ruling planet, eccentric Uranus, is retrograde until Thursday, January 20. This isn’t cause for alarm, but it does see you rethinking how you want to approach love. Early 2025 may be a little sluggish as it pertains to love and sex. Note that Mars, the warrior planet that rules sexual energy, is retrograde until Sunday, February 23. During this time, you and other signs may notice a shift in libido. If this happens, just honor whatever arises. However, despite Mars’s retrograde, the full moon in Leo on Tuesday, February 12, could bring culminations to romantic relationships. Just know that if you’re not careful, it could also lead to fights with partners, so opt for low-key hangs at home rather than wild nights.
Shortly after Mars goes direct, romantic Venus begins its backward dance from Saturday, March 1, to Saturday, April 12. While you shouldn’t let astrology stop you from living your life, these dates are not considered the best time for marriage, and if you’re single, dating may feel a little slow.
July looks to be an exceptionally sexy month. From Friday, July 4 to Wednesday, July 30, Venus is in your pleasurable 5th House. This time of the year could see sex marathons, spontaneous vacations, or simply erotic nights at home with a sex toy. As summer fades to fall and Venus shifts into Gemini and your romantic 7th House, many Aquarius will see the physical side of sex amplified by an emotional connection when Venus moves into Leo, from Monday, August 25, where it will stay until Friday, September 29. If you’re hoping to be in a new relationship, the summer could see you meeting someone while the fall deepens that partnership. During this time, starting on Saturday, September 6, your ruling planet, Uranus, goes retrograde again, and this backward dance lasts through the end of the year. So, while all of 2025 is romantic, it’s bookended with meditations on what love means to you.
While it’s common to want to read your horoscopes for information on romantic love, remember that your friendships serve as the foundation upon which all other relationships are based. You absolutely want to connect with friends during Aquarius season while the sun is in your sign from Sunday, January 19, to Tuesday, February 18. Make sure to communicate to your friends and chosen family how you want to celebrate.
