Intuitive Astrology Forecast for 2025

Intuitive Astrology Forecast for 2025

By Tanaaz

Posted on December 28, 2024




2025 is a number 9 year in numerology, which represents the closing of a cycle. Things tend to come to a culmination or harvest point in a number 9 year, as we are able to reap what we have sown and close the door on things that we need to let go of.

While our numerology points to a year of endings, astrologically, we are shown that all endings pave the way for new beginnings, as in 2025, we remarkably have four major planets and the lunar nodes changing signs. It is incredibly rare to have so many planets changing signs in one year, so this definitely makes 2025 stand out!

Going in celestial order, we have Jupiter moving into Cancer, Saturn moving into Aries, Uranus moving into Gemini, and Neptune moving into Aries. The Lunar Nodes also shift into Pisces and Virgo. Jupiter moves every 12 months, so its move is to be expected, but slower-moving planets like Uranus and Neptune spend close to a decade in each sign, so this is definitely something to watch.

Fitting with the theme of endings, it seems that 2025 will be helping us to wrap up some big cosmic cycles that we have been working with for sometime. Things are likely to come to a head as these planets complete their journeys and get ready to begin new ones.

We also have the cosmic lovers, Mars and Venus, both retrograde in 2025, back to back. We kick the year off with Mars in Retrograde, but shortly after it ends, Venus has its turn. It seems that the Universe wants us to really slow down, reflect, and recalibrate, especially in the first part of the year, when it comes to what we are choosing to spend our energy on (Mars) and how we give to others (Venus).

2025 also brings a new Eclipse cycle in Pisces and Virgo. On each Eclipse, we will be guided to bring harmony and balance to the spiritual (Pisces) and the practical (Virgo). Both Pisces and Virgo are strong feminine energies that encourage us to lead with our intuition and spiritual gifts.

We are also gifted with two Blood Moon Eclipses this year, one in April and one in September. Blood Moon Eclipses are the most potent kind we can experience and tend to bring powerful endings, further supporting the vibration of our number 9 year.

With so many big planetary moves in 2025, it seems that the pace is changing. While we may not be able to fully realize all the shifts and changes this year, it does seem we are getting little tastes of what is to come when we begin 2026, a number 1 year in numerology and a time of new beginnings.

Let’s now do a breakdown of the major astrological events of 2025-

Astrology for 2025

Mars Retrograde December 6, 2024- February 23, 2025

We start the year with Mars in Retrograde. Mars began preparing for its retrograde journey back in October 2024. Perhaps it was at this time that we started to feel a dip in our energy levels and perhaps even a shift in our motivation. Or, perhaps we started to feel some heated emotions rise up within us, begging to be explored. Maybe we also felt a need to armor up in some ways and protect ourselves. It was at this time that Mars began planting seeds for its retrograde journey, which officially began on December 6, 2024. Now, as we move into 2025, Mars Retrograde is continuing to help us recalibrate our energy levels and what drives us. We may feel extra sensitive or charged up when it comes to our home and family life, or we may find that a lot of our attention is being drawn in this direction. We may feel it is time to make changes in how we are utilizing our energy. Mars will remain in retrograde until February but won’t emerge from its shadow phase until May 2025. You can read more on this here.

Lunar Nodes move into Virgo and Pisces – January 11

The Lunar Nodes move into Pisces and Vigro, setting us up with a new Eclipse cycle. With the North Lunar Node moving into Pisces and the South Lunar Node moving into Virgo, it seems that we are being called to step into more of our intuitive, Piscean qualities and to anchor our purpose towards the spiritual. We are invited to feel with compassion and to remember that we are indeed all connected. With the North Node moving into Pisces, we hope to see a push towards peace, love, and harmony. We may see a rise in creativity or a greater shift when it comes to our spirituality. On the flipside however, we may see more extreme religious views or harmful actions taken in the name of religion. February 7, will also be a day to watch as the North Node conjuncts Neptune, unlocking a highly intuitive portal that can help us tap into higher dimensions. April 21, also brings Saturn conjunct the North Node, helping us to take responsibility for our higher calling.

Chinese Astrology: Year of the Green Wood Snake – January 29

While I am definitely no expert on Chinese Astrology, it is always interesting to look at what their astrological system has to say about the year ahead. The year of the snake is said to bring intuition, wisdom, fluidity, and change. The zodiac of the snake reminds us that it’s time to shed our skin and remain open-minded and flexible to the new possibilities that can arise.

Venus Retrograde: March 1- April 12

Venus stations retrograde in Aries and makes its way back into Pisces. Venus Retrograde is a time to reflect on our relationships and the giving and receiving of love in our lives. Old relationship wounds may resurface, or we may find that we are finally able to see through patterns of the past that have kept us stuck or limited when it comes to matters of the heart. This is a very heart-opening time but can stir a lot of vulnerability as well. Experiencing this Venus Retrograde on the back of Mars Retrograde will create an intensity to the first few months of 2025 and result in us feeling stuck or perhaps overwhelmed with our current situation. Like all things, it will pass, and we will come out the other side more awakened and connected to our hearts and how we wish to direct this energy!

Blood Moon Eclipses: March 14 (Virgo) & September 7 (Pisces)

Blood Moon Eclipses are incredibly powerful and tend to bring swift and abrupt changes or endings into our lives. As they fall on a Full Moon, we may experience something releasing from our lives or an ending may occur. We can feel this energy up to a month before the Eclipse arrives and up to a month after it passes. The last time we experienced a Virgo/Pisces Eclipse cycle was back in 2015-2017, so perhaps look back to this time to see what themes were coming up for you. It’s not that the same things will happen again, but similar themes and lessons of growth may emerge.

Neptune in Aries- March 30

Neptune in Aries is a very headstrong energy, and we may have to be mindful of getting blind-sighted by our egos or the egos and bravado of others. Neptune in Aries is a wonderful time however, for connecting with our authenticity and for fueling a deeper spiritual connection.

Neptune moves into Aries on March 30 but will only remain here until October 22, due to its retrograde motion. It won’t return to Aries until January 26, 2026. You could say the Universe is giving us a little preview of what Neptune in Aries will be all about from March-October.

As Neptune is such a slow moving planet, the last time it was in Aries was back from 1861-1875, so this is definitely a rare and special energy to work with that will transcend us to new levels of consciousness.

It is also worth noting that as Neptune in Pisces comes to an end, we will be wrapping up a cycle that began in 2011. Perhaps you can look back to this time to see how you have evolved when it comes to your spirituality, creativity, and the way in which you see the world.

Neptune can sometimes give us rose-colored glasses or take them off and introduce a new color! It can create illusions and deceptions, but can also help us to paint our reality in whatever direction we choose.

Neptune is also the planet of dreams, so we may find that goals and dreams we had way back in 2011 have now come to pass, or have perhaps evolved into something new.

Solar Eclipses: March 29 (Aries) & September 21 (Virgo)

The Aries Eclipse in March is the last Eclipse to take place in the Aries-Libra cycle, which we have been working on since the middle of 2023. As we reach the end of the Eclipse cycle, we may find that we are able to see the bigger picture with more clarity. Solar Eclipses tend to bring new beginnings and are powerful points of manifestation. Intentions can be magnified under this Eclipse, so let the Universe and others know what you need. Put it out to the Universe and watch the magic unfold!

Saturn in Aries – May 24

Saturn will enter Aries on May 24, but due to its retrograde, will backtrack into Pisces from September until February 2026, so once again, we are getting a little preview of what Saturn in Aries has to offer.

Saturn in Aries is going to turn our attention to leadership and how we can step up and be responsible for ourselves and our actions. Saturn in Aries is going to want us to take the lead and to proudly stand up for all that we believe in.

In astrology, Saturn is considered to be at one of its most challenging expressions in the fire sign of Aries, but where there are great challenges, there is also great growth!

Saturn, after all, is our Master Teacher, and is always pushing us to be the best we can be.

The last time Saturn was in Aries was from 1996-1998, so you can think back to themes that were perhaps prevalent in your life to see how you may experience this new Saturn in Aries cycle. If you were born in that time period, you will be having your first Saturn Return! You can read more on this here.

It is also important to pay attention to the cycle Saturn is closing in Pisces, too. Saturn first entered Pisces back in March 2023, so reflect on what lessons and challenges your Master Teacher has been showing you.

Saturn may be a harsh energy at times, but it always leaves gifts and rewards for our efforts too!

Jupiter in Cancer- June 9

Jupiter is another major player to move zodiacs this year, and will shift from Gemini into Cancer. Jupiter in Cancer is going to turn our attention to our home and family life and will center most of our attention and focus on our immediate environment.

Jupiter moves into Cancer on June 9th and will remain here until mid-2026. Jupiter loves to be in the homey, heart-centered sign of Cancer and this cosmic union is considered to be a highly favorable one.

While Jupiter is in Cancer, we may be feeling more sensitive, especially when it comes to our familiar relationships and how our needs are taken care of. We may come into a deeper understanding of what we need to feel nourished or may finally take steps to care and nurture ourselves on a deeper level.

Jupiter in Cancer is also a positive omen for those looking to start a family, heal family relationships, move or sell a new home, and for creating more love in our lives.

Whenever a planet moves into a new sign, it is also important to pay attention to the cycle that just ended. Jupiter has been moving through Gemini since May 2024, so reflect on what expansion and themes have come up for you. You can read more on the Jupiter in Gemini cycle here.

Uranus in Gemini- July 7

Since 2018, Uranus has been moving through the earthy and stable sign of Taurus. This has not been a favorable position for Uranus, but we have survived through it all! Now, on July 7, Uranus is going to dip its toes into Gemini, bringing a new wave of energy and the start of new cycle.

Uranus is the planet of change and awakening, so as it shifts zodiacs, we are going to feel the rumbling! Uranus will remain in Gemini until November 8th, before retrograding back into Taurus until April 2026, so once again, in 2025, we are getting a little taste of what this new cycle is to bring.

In Taurus, Uranus has been rocking our foundations and testing their strength and longevity. On the world stage, we may have seen upsets in the financial industries, agriculture, and the environment- all areas that Taurus presides over.

Now, as it moves into Gemini, its focus will shift away from our foundations and onto our thought processes and how we communicate with others. In Gemini, Uranus will bring big changes to the world of media and communications. It can also bring shifts to how we socialize and interact with others.

Uranus will be in Gemini until 2033, so we have plenty of time to work with this energy and receive its gifts!

As one cycle begins, another closes, and seeing as we will never experience Uranus in Taurus again, it is definitely worthwhile reflecting on your foundations and how they have evolved, strengthened, and shifted since 2018 as Uranus has made its way through Taurus.

Jupiter Square Saturn and Neptune – June 15th

Another notable cosmic alignment in 2025 is the square between Jupiter, and Saturn and Neptune. Squares are considered tense alignments that push us so far that we are forced to act! Squares can be challenging, but they create movement and help us to navigate out of sticky situations.

With so much slow, retrograde energy in the first part of the year, this Jupiter Square Saturn and Neptune may get things moving again. We may feel inspired to expand our limited vision and perhaps see things from a new perspective.

Jupiter is the planet of expansion, so it will also expand the themes that the Saturn-Neptune conjunction will bring (you can read more on this below).

Saturn Neptune Conjunction – July 31

With Saturn and Neptune both moving into Aries this year, it is inevitable that these two cosmic bodies will meet! While they officially come together on July 31st, they are going to be hovering close through most of 2025 and into 2026.

Saturn and Neptune meet every 37 years, but have never met in Aries in our lifetime and never will again! Aries is the zodiac of new beginnings, so it does seem that this Saturn-Neptune meeting may bring some fresh new energies and perspectives our way.

Saturn is all about practicality and coming back down to reality, whereas Neptune is want is beyond reality and escaping reality! We have an interesting dynamic when these two meet, and in Aries, we may see some bold moves and new ideas taking shape.

It may also be worthwhile mentioning that I was born under the last Saturn-Neptune conjunction, which took place in Capricorn, and I feel this planetary pair has helped me to take my spiritual ideas (Neptune) and bring them into reality through this website (Saturn). Saturn is helping to make things tangible and understandable, and Neptune is feeding into the spiritual and creative energies.

One of my astrology teachers also pointed out that the very name of this site, Forever Conscious is very Saturn-Neptune in nature, with Saturn representing the “forever” part and Neptune representing the “conscious” part!

It remains to be seen what this Saturn-Neptune energies will bring, but even in Aries, we can expect to see some tangible or practical applications of the spiritual.

Summary of the Astrology of 2025

The first part of 2025 is likely to feel slow and sluggish due to Mars and Venus Retrograde. We may really feel challenged when it comes to our feelings of motivation and what ignites our heart’s desire.

In March, we are greeted with a potent Blood Moon Eclipse, which is likely to stir a lot of emotions and perhaps see us experiencing the end of something significant in our lives. We may feel stuck in a huge surge of emotions, but eventually, things will clear and perhaps even look brighter than they were before.

As we reach the midway mark of 2025, we will be working with lots of new planetary cycles and big cosmic events, including the Saturn-Neptune conjunction. It is at this point that we may feel things moving forward and that we are able to gain some momentum.

September brings another Blood Moon Eclipse, which will once again rattle our world and perhaps stir our emotions, but following this, we end 2025 with a lot of growth and room for new beginnings!

Wishing you a blessed 2025!

Aries Full Moon September 2023

Aries Full Moon September 2023

Intuitive Astrology

By Tanaaz

Posted on September 21, 2023






The Aries Full Moon lights up the sky on September 29, 2023, bringing us full circle from where we started back in March of this year.

If we cast our minds back to March 2023, there was a powerful Aries New Moon, followed by an Aries New Moon Solar Eclipse in April. The intentions set at that time are now likely to be in full bloom under this Aries Full Moon.

Think back to what was important or on your mind back in March and April of this year, does anything come to mind? Do you feel that you have now come full circle?

If nothing jogs your memory, know you can still use the highly creative vibrations of the Aries Full Moon to put your creations out into the world.

The Creative Magic of the Aries Moon

The Aries Full Moon holds fantastic potential for helping us to take our ideas from our minds and into physical form. There is an entrepreneurial flow that comes when Aries energy is strong, so use it to your advantage.

The energies under an Aries Full Moon can also be fiery and headstrong, encouraging us to be bold and daring in our approach. We can feel a boost of confidence, and we may be willing to take greater risks to get the outcome we want.

If your life could use a little more confidence, a little more movement, and a little more passion, the Aries Full Moon will be on your side!

Of course, there is another side to this energy too, as sometimes when fiery energy is strong we can be prone to anger, outbursts, aggression, and frustrations. If we have something bubbling within, we may find ourselves easily triggered under this Full Moon.

Being mindful of this can help us to find healthy outlets to release and express how we feel. One of the best outlets that Aries energy favors is movement, so things like exercise, dancing, and taking action are all great ways to soften and release any heated emotions that rise up.

The Aries Eclipse Cycle

Our emotions may also be heightened under this Full Moon as it leads us closer into Eclipse Season. Eclipses are usually highly transformative, and tend to bring changes into our lives. These changes can be external ones, but more private, internal ones too.

Aries is going rule over the Eclipse cycle energies in 2024, so this is our last regular Aries Full Moon until 2025. The next Aries lunar cycles are all going to be Eclipses.

If you are interested in tracking the Eclipse cycles in your life, you may wish to write down what themes were prevalent for you under this Aries Full Moon, as it may just bring some clues as to what this Aries Eclipse cycle will have in store for you.

The Universe is likely to send us whispers at this time, so it may not make sense to us straight away, but when we look back at the full picture in the years to come, we may be able to make better sense of it.

The Aries Full Moon and Chiron, the Wounded Healer

Chiron, the asteroid known as the wounded healer, is active under this Full Moon, hovering close to it. Chiron guides us to find the power in our wounds, rather than the sorrow. While sorrow and grief are often connected to our wounds and forever a part of them, Chiron teaches us that a new strength and wisdom can rise from them.

Rather than sugarcoating or pretending our wounds don’t bother us, Chiron allows us to wear them as part of the beautiful fabric of life and part of the beautiful fabric of who we are.

Chiron also allows us to tap into the gifts of healing, compassion, and intuition that our wounds can often provide.

We may feel this energy encouraging us under the Aries Full Moon. We may organically feel this sense that our sorrow and grief doesn’t have to consume us, but can instead, impower us. It’s a long and unique journey to get there, but Chiron will be by our side.

With Chiron also triggered by the Full Moon, it may also inspire us to find our inner warrior, and to soldier forward despite the troubles we may be facing. We may feel stronger, more courageous, and ready to stop feeling sorry for ourselves.

The Aries Full Moon in Summary

Full Moons have a way of illuminating things for us, and as the Aries Full Moon lights up the end of the month, we may start to feel like we can see the end of the year in sight – which may feel both overwhelming and reassuring!

With the Eclipses around the corner, it may help to have some sense of stability in your life. While we can’t control everything, and Eclipses are notorious for bringing change, having something to work towards and plan around can bring ease at a time like this.

It doesn’t have to be anything big or grand, but creating a routine for yourself, setting boundaries, and having some beauty and art in your life are all things that can help.

Overall, the Aries Full Moon is a diamond shining bright in our sky and a powerful reminder that we too are creators of this Universe.

September Equinox

September Equinox

Intuitive Astrology

By Tanaaz

Posted on September 16, 2023





The September 23rd Equinox brings a turning point in the astrological year. Energy begins shifting in a new direction, guiding things to change, evolve, and grow.

If we look at the astrological year, the September Equinox is the halfway point, and a time when we start making our descent through the chapter we have been working on. While we won’t reach the end of this journey until the March Equinox, we can reflect on reaching this stage of our journey and how we would like the ending to go.

How would you like this chapter to end? What direction do you want to take the rest of the story in? You get to be the writer here, and while we don’t have full control over the events in our lives, the Equinox is a good time to speak up and let the Universe, ourselves, and others know what we need.

The Equinox and the Thinning Veil

The Equinox has long been a sacred time when the veil between the physical and spiritual world is thin, and the energy grid of the planet comes into a higher vibration and harmony. All of Mother Earth responds to the Equinox, and this is something we may even be able to see with the changing of the seasons.

In the Northern Hemisphere, nature is beginning to shed, release, and let go. In the Southern Hemisphere, nature is beginning to bloom and blossom. No matter where you live, we can all feel this shift in energy coursing through our own lives. We may find that some things need to be released and that some things come into full bloom.

Knowing what we need to expand and what we need to contract can crystalize as the Equinox dawns. We can begin to see what is most important to us, what we want to spend our energy doing, and where we desire to put our intentions.

If we are feeling off balance or want to merge with the energies of Mother Earth, spending intentional time outdoors in connection with nature can be incredibly harmonizing and healing.

You can also find some powerful Equinox Rituals here.

The September Equinox and the Start of Libra Season

The September Equinox also brings the start of Libra Season, a sign of the zodiac that is strongly connected to finding our balance and the flow between giving and receiving in our lives. Libra also represents the self within the other, which is essentially who we become in the many different relationships in our lives.

Do we like who we are when we are around certain people? Are there certain relationships that bring out the best in us? Are there certain relationships that challenge us to grow by triggering our traumas and subconscious behaviors? Are there relationships that are just plain fun that remind us of the joy we have? Are there relationships that feel one-sided or relationships that we have to maintain to stay professional or keep the peace?

Relationships are very often our greatest teachers. We need them to thrive, to grow, and to understand who we really are.

If you want to do some work around relationships, the Equinox and energies of Libra Season can be a beneficial time.

Here is a journal exercise to get you started –

Think about your closest, most profound, or most bothersome relationship, and then take a look at the following questions. These questions can be tricky, so feel into them. Go with your intuition or just start writing and see what answers sprout. These questions are not really designed to be answered in full, but to awaken or spark different ideas or insights.

  • What do you think this relationship is trying to teach you?
  • Do you feel this relationship has karmic ties or is written in your soul contract? If so, what do you think the higher purpose of it all is?
  • Could you be projecting in this relationship or wanting things to be different than they are?
  • Are you truly listening and communicating clearly in this relationship, or just assuming?
  • Does something need to change in this relationship, and if so, can this change start with you?
  • How can you show up as your best self in this relationship?
  • What parts of you are stifled in this relationship? What parts of you are encouraged to flourish?

Virgo New Moon September 2023

Virgo New Moon September 2023

Intuitive Astrology

By Tanaaz

Posted on September 11, 2023





As the Virgo New Moon arrives on September 14, 2023, we have six major planets in retrograde. Strong retrograde energy under the New Moon can draw us within and to the past, getting us to look over things to ensure we fully understand where we have been before we move forward.

With so many planets traveling retrograde, we may feel that life or certain situations have come to a complete standstill. It may be hard to move on or hard to know how to shift a dynamic.

We may have to sit in the muck a little longer before we can know the way forward.

The Virgo New Moon prepares us for Change

This Virgo New Moon is the last before the Equinox and before Eclipse Season begins, which means it sets the foundation for the changes that are destined to come. While we will still very much feel the stagnancy from all the retrograde activity, this New Moon acts as a turning point, lighting a path to help release us from the old.

While the changing energies will reveal themselves slowly, we may find it a welcomed relief to be stuck or stagnant for a moment. We may wish to enjoy the view a little longer or really soak our feet in wherever we have landed. By taking this time, we may feel more adjusted, better prepared, and more accepting of our situation and where we will move to.

Virgo is a grounded earth sign that is represented by the Virgin Goddess, which is a symbol of wholeness, inner divinity, and sovereignty. The Virgin Goddess that rules Virgo is not attached to anyone, in charge of her own life, and fully connected to the divine power that lives within her.

We can use the energies of the Virgin Goddess to guide us through this New Moon time, and to remind ourselves that everything we need is within. No matter what happens, the Virgin Goddess knows she will be ok. She knows that she will find the strength, wisdom, and knowledge to move through whatever comes her way.

On a more practical level, we can also channel the energies of the Virgo New Moon to plan, create a schedule, and get organized in our lives. We can use its energy to take a methodical and practical approach to all that we need to get done.

The Cosmic Skies under the Virgo New Moon

Uranus, the planet of awakening and change, is active under this New Moon, adding a layer of instability or shakiness to these energies. Whenever Uranus is strong, we can feel a little rattled or unsure of the future. This uncertainty will eventually spark an awakening, but chances are we won’t be able to feel the full presence of these awakening energies just yet.

Along with Uranus, Neptune, the planet of dreams and illusions, is also active and retrograde too under this New Moon. Neptune’s presence can create a little fogginess for us, but will also be guiding us to listen to our inner wisdom. If we don’t understand or can’t make sense of our outside world, it’s a good time to go within and get clear on our inner world.

To add to the mix, Mercury will end its retrograde journey just one day after the peak of the New Moon. Mercury is considered the Messenger of the Gods, so pay attention to any messages that seem to come our way around this time. Chances are, the messages we receive around the New Moon may have some extra magic or importance to them.

The Virgo New Moon Energies

All of the New Moon energy combined makes it one that may feel a little up and down. While these energies are not incredibly intense, we may just feel a little scattered and confused.

If we return to the grounding energies of the Virgin Goddess however, we will find our way. The Virgin Goddess will remind us that we are sovereign beings, free to be, free to express, and with a wealth of knowledge contained within.

When we connect with this rich earthy energy, we will feel more balanced, more guided, and more supported as we journey through this Virgo lunar cycle.
