January 2025 Horoscope: A Month of Social Connection and Clarity

Aquarius Season Begins: Prioritize Friendships

You’re feeling super social when community-based Aquarius season begins starting on Sunday, January 19. This time of year, it’s important to prioritize your friendships. You may even want to let any romantic partners know that for the next few weeks, connecting with friends is the priority.

Gossip and Community

And, at the end of the month, on Monday, January 27, messenger Mercury moves into Aquarius, encouraging light-hearted gossip with friends. Gossip has become maligned in recent years, but once upon a time, it was just considered a healthy way to share information and circumvent the powers to be.

New Moon and Lunar New Year

You may find yourself making a new friend or becoming close with an old one on Wednesday, January 29, during the Aquarius new moon. While the full moon earlier in the month was best for taking it easy at home, this date feels rather social. Adding to this, Wednesday, January 29, marks the Lunar New Year, which is the Year of the Snake. Lunar New Years are meant to be celebrated with friends and family.

Uranus Goes Direct

The following day, on Thursday, January 30, the eccentric planet Uranus ends its retrograde and goes direct on in the part of your chart that rules and affects finances. Uranus is a community-minded planet that cares about you and the ones you love, too. Of course, you can’t rely on astrology to make financial decisions. However, per the stars, Uranus going direct is associated with clarity, especially surrounding work and money. Uranus direct sees you deciding on what action to take, about your career, after the reflection that came with Uranus retrograde.
