2025 Astrology Events

Annual Lookahead

Can you believe that we are nearing the end of the year already? Each December, or earlier in the year, I like to prepare my annual look-ahead, or horoscope if you wish, for the upcoming year. I imagine most astrologers do this. If you don’t make your own, then I urge you to consider creating a brief listing for all the astrology events that we will be talking about in 2025. You will use it for all the charts you cast in 2025 anyway. When I write horoscopes, I zoom in on three astrological indicators and they are, ingresses, stations and eclipses. And on a side note, in my own mind, I call this look ahead my ISE list or “ice” for short. It’s nice to say ice.

Ingresses

Sign Changes

When a planet changes from one sign to another it is called a sign ingress. Ingresses signify a shift in the planetary energy being expressed. I like to list all the ingresses for each year. However, all the superior planet’s ingresses are more momentous.

Cardinal

Four heavy hitting planets will ingress this year and they are Neptune, Uranus, Saturn and Jupiter. This year Neptune, Saturn and Jupiter will enter cardinal signs (Aries and Cancer) and Uranus is entering the air sign Gemini. These ingresses bring the mode of cardinality to the fore.

Aspects

This also means that there will be square aspects from Aries and Cancer which unfold over time. When the Sun, Mercury and Venus pass through any cardinal sign all three will form T-squares and sometimes grand crosses because the outer planets are in position. Additionally, Thor’s Hammer’s with their squares and sesquiquadrates will feature frequently too when the other planets, and the Sun’s entourage of the inferior planets, trot through Scorpio later in October.

Stations

Change

I list the stations and retrograde periods, although not all of them are important. In 2025 every planet, including Venus (not like last year), but excluding the Sun and the Moon, will be retrograde at some point.

Direction

Stations are the days when a planet changes direction. Planets move direct then slow down and stop, the station, then move retrograde and vice versa. There are two stations, either station retrograde (SRx) or station direct (SD). Stations herald high focus days and bring a concentrated energy to particular degrees of the zodiac. If you have planets or points on a station degree, you will experience that specific station far more intensely than if you don’t have a planet or point on the station degree.

Eclipses

Eclipses are super important days in any year, and I pay special attention to the eclipses. I’m certainly going to mention each of the eclipses that are coming along. We will consider solar eclipses and lunar eclipses for 2025.

Syzygy

In 2025, they will be four eclipses, so it’s just a normal year for eclipses. For each Solar Eclipse which occurs, there is a Lunar Eclipse a fortnight beforehand.

Eclipse Seasons

This year has two eclipse seasons, the first eclipse season is in March and the second eclipse season is in September. In 2025, all four eclipses are passive either in Virgo or Pisces.

Solar Eclipses

There are two Solar Eclipses in 2025.

Lunar Eclipses

There are two Lunar Eclipses in 2025.

New Moons

In general, New Moons suggest beginnings.

Full Moons

In general, Full Moons indicate fruition.
