In 2025, the Starseed Astrology and the cosmos are delivering a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to revolutionize how we think, heal, and grow—inviting us to embrace change with courage, align our actions with purpose, and create a future that bridges the visionary with the tangible, one transformative step at a time.
Here is an overview of what's coming in 2025 - I go into detail with each below.
The Lunar Nodes Shift into Pisces & Virgo: A New Karmic Cycle & A New Eclipse Story Begins
True Node Ingress: January 11th, 2024
Active through July 26, 2026
Starseed Astrology:
- Pisces North Node will transit over Pegasus, Fomalhaut, The Phoenix, Eridanus, & Zeta Reticuli
- Virgo South Node will transit over Regulus, Ursa Major, Draco, Argo, & The Whirlpool Galaxy
On January 11th, the Lunar Nodes will shift into Pisces and Virgo, marking the beginning of a profound new eclipse cycle that will shape both our individual and collective focus until July 26, 2026.
Key Themes of the Pisces/Virgo Lunar Node Axis
- Health and Healing: A deeper collective focus on healthcare, medicine, and holistic wellness, including alternative and natural healing modalities.
- Spiritual Alignment: A call to embrace spirituality, mysticism, and creativity while balancing these pursuits with grounded, practical action.
- Connection to Nature: Increased awareness of our relationship with animals and the natural world.
- Harmonizing Opposites: Learning to integrate the magical and intuitive (Pisces) with the practical and analytical (Virgo).
This transit will be most significant for those with prominent placements in Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, or Sagittarius—especially the Sun, Moon, or Rising Sign. If your chart is strongly connected to these mutable signs, you can expect powerful shifts, new opportunities, and important karmic lessons that realign you with your higher path. This is a time for deep healing on all levels - and boy do we need it!
Venus Retrograde in Aries & Pisces: A Cosmic Shift in Love, Relationships, & Finances
Venus Retrograde Active: March 1, 2025 – April 12, 2025
Starseed Astrology: Venus Rx will transit over The Garnet Star in Cepheus, Pegasus, Alpha Reticuli, The Pac Man Nebula, Cetus, Cygnus, and end her Rx Conjunct Zeta Reticuli!
Venus retrograde is always a significant time to reassess our relationships, values, and desires. From March 1st to April 12th, 2025, Venus will retrace its steps through the passionate sign of Aries and the dreamy waters of Pisces, offering two very distinct experiences in matters of the heart and the wallet.
New Relationships formed during Venus retrograde often come with an inability to see the relationship clearly. It’s unlikely you’ll see the full picture until Venus turns direct, so take your time before making commitments—your feelings for these people are likely to change.
Existing Relationships give you fresh insight into the people closest to you. It can bring clarity to the true value of your connections—or surface unresolved issues that challenge your bond.
Be cautious: breakups initiated during Venus retrograde often don’t stick, as feelings and perspectives tend to shift once the retrograde period ends.
This retrograde will be most impactful for those with prominent placements in Aries, Pisces, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn, Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, or Taurus. If you have your Sun, Moon, Rising, or key planets in these signs, expect shifts in your relationships and values.
Jupiter Enters Cancer: A Year of Nourishment, Growth, and Emotional Abundance
Active: June 9, 2025 – June 30, 2026
Starseed Astrology: over the next year, Jupiter will transit over Auriga, Monoceros, The Christmas Tree Cluster, Sirius, Canopus, Lynx, Castor & Pollux, Thor's Helmet Nebula, & Lynx Again!
Jupiter, the planet of expansion, wisdom, and opportunity, enters Cancer, the sign of its exaltation. This transit marks a deeply supportive and expansive period, bringing a renewed sense of safety, security, and nourishment both personally and collectively. It’s a time to grow what truly matters—your home, your relationships, and your emotional foundation.
While Jupiter’s time in Gemini came with challenges—being in its detriment and contending with the restrictive Jupiter-Saturn square—Jupiter in Cancer feels like a breath of fresh air. Opportunities for growth, healing, and abundance become more accessible, and you’ll feel better equipped to take advantage of the blessings that come your way.
Key Themes for Jupiter in Cancer:
- Opportunities for Growth and Support: Areas like home, family, emotional security, and personal nourishment come into focus. You’ll likely find the resources and encouragement needed to thrive in these areas.
- A Feeling of Safety and Abundance: This transit brings an expansive energy that encourages you to feel at home—within yourself and your surroundings.
- Reflection and Clarity: Revisiting themes from 2013–2014, the last time Jupiter was in Cancer, can offer clues about what to expect. Consider where you experienced growth, prosperity, and ease during that time to gain insights into the opportunities ahead.
This transit will have the most positive impact on those with Sun, Moon, Rising, or other prominent placements in Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces, as these water signs naturally resonate with Cancer’s emotional, intuitive energy. Aries, Virgo, and Capricorn are also likely to experience benefits as Jupiter’s expansive influence supports specific areas of life tied to their charts.
Saturn Enters Aries: New Trends in Business, Action, & Bold New Beginnings
Active May 24, 2025 – September 1, 2025, Retrogrades back to Pisces thru February 12, 2026

Starseed Astrology: over the next three years Saturn will Transit over Pegaus, Cetus, The Pac Man Nebula, Cepheus, Andromeda Constellation, Eridanus, and The Andromeda Galaxy
For the first time in nearly three decades, Saturn, the planet of structure, discipline, and responsibility, moves into Aries, the sign of action, willpower, and bold beginnings. Aries is a place of "fall" for Saturn, meaning this is not its most comfortable or natural territory. It’s also an opportunity to balance impulsive action with strategy and foresight.
Saturn demands hard work, patience, and integrity. Aries, on the other hand, thrives on speed, passion, and diving headfirst into new ventures. This combination can feel like a tug-of-war between urgency and careful planning, but when balanced, it has the potential to channel Aries’ fiery energy into meaningful, long-lasting achievements.
Key Themes for Saturn in Aries:
- Pacing Yourself: Learning to balance enthusiasm with calculated action, especially in business
- Building Sustainable Momentum: Saturn in Aries challenges you to create foundations that can endure, even in the face of frustration or delays.
- Personal Responsibility: A time to own your choices and actions, especially as you blaze new trails.
- Bold Authenticity in Business & Adulting
By embracing the discipline of Saturn and the ambitious courage of Aries, you can transform challenges into lasting success. This transit will be most impactful for those with Sun, Moon, Rising, or other prominent placements in Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn— marking a period to solidify your ambitions while embracing the challenge of taking decisive action.

Get ready for a major shake-up! Uranus, the planet of revolution, disruption, and innovation, is entering Gemini, the sign of communication, community, and connection. This once-in-a-lifetime transit invites each of us to shake up how we think, learn, and communicate. Uranus, the planet of disruption and innovation, challenges us to break free from old mental patterns, embrace radical new ideas, and connect with others in ways we never imagined.

This transit is your invitation to embrace change and open yourself to new possibilities. Whether through shifts in your mindset, relationships, or communication habits, Uranus in Gemini will revolutionize the way you experience and interact with the world. - Radical Shifts in Communication: Expect groundbreaking advancements in how we share information and connect with others, from disruptive communication technologies to innovative social networks.

The transition of Neptune, the planet of dreams, illusions, and compassion, into Aries, the sign of courage, action, and individuality, ignites a powerful blend of visionary idealism and fearless initiative.
