2025 Business Horoscopes

ARIES
While it might appear to be business as usual as you move into the new professional year, to start with at least there is a chance to take your foot off the gas and for many, it will be after years not even realising that you had it on in the first place. It wasn’t until the end of November 2024 that after 16 years Pluto, the planet of change, transformation and rebellion finally left your career sector, not to return again in our lifetime. Because the Sun will always spend the first three weeks of each year in your career sector, things are likely to feel much the same as they do as you move into any new professional year, with the solar spotlight on your career and professional situation, matters and options as you look to the journey ahead. However, by the time you move into the New Year Venus and the dwarf planet Ceres, who stayed on after Pluto left have already gone and by the end of January, your career sector will be empty.

Apart from the Moon’s monthly visits, there will be no more planetary activity in your career sector until Mars returns on 15th December to fire up what will be an active end to this professional year and start to your 2026 professional year. The last time your career sector has been empty this long was in 2007, the year before Pluto first returned. After 16 years it is time to take your foot off the gas but also the trainer wheels, knowing that you can take it from here on your own. However, this does put a lot more focus on January, when a lot can be invested into getting this new professional year off on the right track. The Sun, who will always spend the last 10 days and the first three weeks of each year in your career sector will leave on 20th January but Mercury will be here from 8th January to 28th January, giving you everything you need to move into this new professional year with your head in the game.

However, while there will then be no more planetary activity on the career front until the end of the year, that is not the case on the job front, though with time first to let things from the last few years play out before the busiest months of the year kick in. This will start with Mars’ return to your work sector from 17th June to 7th August, with the warrior planet of the cosmos able to fire things up and get things moving in the very heart of the year. While these are likely to be the busiest months of the year, it is a few weeks after Mars leaves that the Sun will return to put the solar spotlight on your work situation, job matters and options from 23rd August to 23rd September. In that time Venus and Mercury will return, with the most active months of the year on the job front not ending until Venus leaves on 14th October. By then Mars will only be two months away from his return to your career sector.

TAURUS
And now for the year that you have been waiting and preparing for since at least the early months of 2023. This is when Pluto, the planet of change and transformation first made his albeit brief appearance in your career sector, for the first time in our lifetime. While Pluto was here for less than three months before retrograding back out, he was able to plant seeds and leave behind a sense of change in the air. Last year Pluto returned again, this time for seven months before retrograding back out, this time for only 11 weeks before returning towards the end of November 2024. By the time you move into the New Year Pluto has only been back for six weeks and he is not on his own. It was in early December Venus and the dwarf planet Ceres returned on the same day.

Venus to fuel your professional confidence, attract opportunities and steer things in a lucrative direction and Ceres to begin her first deep dive into your professional needs and priorities in four years. This couldn’t be more important or timely, for Pluto is here now until 2044 and 2025 is the foundation year of a whole new era. Venus will leave on 3rd January and won’t return again this year, making it important to listen to your heart as you move into the New Year. The Sun, as always, will put the solar spotlight on your career and professional situation, matters and options when he moves through from 20th January to 18th February, with Mercury returning from 28th January to 15th February with a chance to get your head in the game, ideas on the table and the communication lines open.

It is not until Ceres leaves on 24th February that Pluto will be on his own and apart from the Moon’s monthly visits it will stay that way for the rest of the year. However, he will continue to have a positive impact on income and job matters, with an already strong alliance with Jupiter, who will continue his quest for income growth and expansion until leaving your income sector on 10th June. This also means that not just this year but every year for the next two decades, no planet can return to your work sector without moving into a friendly aspect to Pluto, giving work and job matters a boost from the start. You will experience this when Mars moves through your work sector from 7th August to 22nd September, kicking off the most active months of the year on the job front. This is something that won’t fully run its course until Venus leaves on 7th November, three months to the day later.

GEMINI
There are big changes on the career front this year, with the end of an era approaching but with the whole year to bring things home and an extraordinary amount of support in the first half of the year. The era that is drawing to a close is Neptune, the planet of hopes and dreams’ time in your career sector and Saturn’s more recent return. Neptune returned to your career sector for the first time in our lifetime in 2012 and since then he has been shaping your professional dreams. However, it was Saturn’s return in March 2023 that has finally given you the resolve to do whatever it takes for as long as it takes in order to turn dreams into reality. While they won’t fully leave until early 2026, they both begin transitioning out this year, with Neptune leaving on 31st March and Saturn on 25th May.

This is not goodbye, but with Saturn not retrograding back in until 1st September and Neptune until 22nd October, they will be gone for several months. When Neptune does leave in January 2026 he won’t return again in our lifetime, while when Saturn leaves in February 2026 it will be another three decades before he returns, making these final months with both here especially important. While this is how the slower outer planets will always transition out of one part of your chart and into another, what is unique is that Venus and Mercury, who will usually move through in a matter of weeks are mirroring this. Venus will return on 3rd January to begin what is normally a 24 day mission to fuel your job confidence, attract opportunities and steer things in a lucrative direction.

Instead, when Venus does eventually leave on 4th February it will be by retrograding back out, returning again for a second time from 27th March to 1st May. Mercury will do the same, returning with everything needed to work smarter, get your head in the game, ideas on the table and the communication lines open from 15th February to 3rd March, then after retrograding back out returning again from 30th March to 16th April. With the Sun moving through during that time, this is going to provide wraparound support to get the most out of Saturn and Neptune’s final months here. Helping to keep this professional year on track and especially on the job front will be having the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment in your work sector until 20th February, before retrograding back in from 15th April to 1st October. This is a theme this year, but it means you will have her resolve to draw on until Mars returns to first things up on the job front on 22nd September. This begins some active months that won’t run their course until 12th December and it is during this time that Saturn and Neptune will return to your career sector.

CANCER
As you move into the New Year and get your first look at 2025, first impressions will suggest that as far as professional years go it is business as usual. The dwarf planet Eris, the warrior planet of the cosmos is still in retrograde motion in your career sector, as is usually the case and while the Sun left your work sector just before Christmas, until he leaves on 8th January Mercury is still here, tying up the loose ends of some active months on the job front. Eris has been in your career sector for over nine decades and it is not unusual for the tail end of the previous year’s activity on the job front to spread into the early days or even weeks of the New Year. However, 2025 is a living example of the fact that you can’t judge a book by its cover, for despite first impressions this professional year will be anything but business as usual, with major change just three months away.

While Mercury will leave your work sector empty when he leaves, while not a major player the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment’s return from 20th February to 15th April will not only give you the resolve to stay on top of work and job matters, but during some of the most exciting months on the career front in decades. Juno will dip back in from 1st October to 30th December, this time just as things are about to fire up on the job front, starting with Mars’ return to your work sector on 5th November and then running through to the early days of 2026. However, it is on the career front that everything is happening this year and it begins with Venus’ return to your career sector on 4th February. To start with there is nothing unusual about this, except instead of spending just 24 days fuelling your professional confidence, attracting opportunities and steering things in a lucrative direction, a retrograde turn will see her retrograde back out on 27th March, only to return for a do over from 1st May to 6th June.

Coincidently Mercury will do the same, returning on 3rd March for what should be a two week chance to get your head in the game and to think on your feet, only to see him retrograde back out on 30th March and then return for a do over from 16th April to 11th May. What is it that makes two planets that will normally rush through in just a few weeks not only be reluctant to leave but return for a second time? Something big must be up that they are preparing you for. That something is Neptune, the planet of hopes and dream’s return to your career sector for the first time in our lifetime on 31st March, followed by Saturn’s return for the first time in three decades on 27th May, together giving you the resolve to do whatever it takes for as long as it takes in order to turn professional dreams into reality. Saturn will retrograde back out on 1st September and Neptune on 22nd October but will both return in early 2026.

LEO
Because the Sun will always spend the last 10 days and the first three weeks of every year in your work sector, the solar spotlight is not only always on your work situation, job matters and options as you move into the New Year, but this will provide the illusion that it is business as usual. It might not be until near the end of January that you will realise how much things have changed, with the need to always have on your foot on the gas or always feeling like you have to reinvent the wheel gone. Instead, with a chance to take the trainer wheels off and instead do things on your own. It was towards the end of November 2024 that after 16 years Pluto, the planet of change, transformation and rebellion and a planet that is partial to drama and a bit of chaos every now and then, finally left. However, because the year always begins with the Sun here this might not be immediately apparent.

Especially with Mercury returning from 8th January to 28th January with a chance to get your head in the game, ideas on the table and the communication lines open. However, with the Sun leaving on 20th January, it is when Mercury leaves that your work sector will be empty and apart from the Moon’s monthly visits, it will remain empty until Mars returns on 15th December to fire things up again. Apart from a few months in early 2023, this is the first time since 2007 that there hasn’t been continuous planetary activity on the job front all year, with a chance to finally take your foot off the gas. If there is one criticism that you could put on this year in terms of work and job matters, is that compared to the past things could be a bit boring, but in the best possible sense of the word. You have graduated and can now continue the journey on your own, without the drama or chaos.

There are also changes on the career front with Uranus, the planet of surprise, synchronicity and the unexpected starting to transition out of your career sector. Uranus won’t finally leave, not to return again for another eight decades until April 2026, but he will leave on 7th July before retrograding back in on 8th November to tie up loose ends. This will give the Sun, Venus and Mercury time to return before Uranus leaves and as he will be in his final months by then, this is when after being here since 2019 a lot of things will fall into place. A lack of planetary activity on the job front will be a chance to pivot to the wider career landscape when the Sun moves through your career sector from 20th April to 21st May, Mercury from 11th May to 26th May and Venus from 6th July to 5th July. Venus will leave just two days before Uranus leaves on 7th July, with the two able to bring the laws of attraction and synchronicity together in those final weeks.

VIRGO
While Jupiter has been in your career sector since May 2024 and you are halfway into what the planet of luck and expansion is working to make your biggest year for professional growth and expansion in over a decade and Pluto had spent over seven months in your work sector before retrograding back out, only to return towards the end of November, moving into the New Year with both here is a whole new experience. While it has been 12 years since you last moved into a new professional year with Jupiter in your career sector, this is the first time ever with Pluto, the planet of change and transformation in your work sector. However, get used to it for now here, Pluto is here for the next 20 years. This brings you to the start of a massive year on the job and career fronts, but don’t be surprised if things are slow to get started.

Pluto has only been back for six weeks and until the dwarf planet Ceres leaves on 24th February, her first deep dive into your needs and priorities on the job front in four years is giving you a chance to first get your bearings. It is during that time that the Sun will make its monthly visit to your work sector from 20th January to 15th February, something that will always put the solar spotlight on your work situation, job matters and options at this time each year. Along with Mercury, who will move through from 28th January to 15th February with everything needed to work smarter, get your head in the game, ideas on the table and the communication lines open, this is going to get the year and Pluto’s new 20 year transit through your work sector off to a good start.

This is also going to buy you time as you wait for Jupiter’s direct turn in your career sector on 4th February and for him to build up a bit of momentum before Ceres leaves your work sector, leaving Pluto on his own. With the planet of luck and change working side by side until Jupiter leaves on 10th June, there is a chance for this professional year to take you to some exciting places and especially in the second half of the year. As always, the Sun will move through your career sector from 21st May to 21st June, with the solar spotlight on your career and professional situation, matters and options during Jupiter’s final weeks and Mercury there with a chance to keep your head in the game and to think on your feet from 26th May to 9th June. However, it is after they leave that the biggest development will happen, with Venus returning on 5th July and Uranus, the planet of surprise, synchronicity and the unexpected returning two days later for the start of his first transit through your career sector in eight decades.

LIBRA
While there are big changes on the job and career fronts this year, this is both an overlapping and a surge in the two. At the same time that you reach one of the most pivotal years on the career front in over a decade, you are also moving into the pinnacle year for everything that has been building on the job front for over 12 years and even more so over the last few years. In addition, you have the ordinary annual parade of planets that move through your work and career sectors each year. If you were to take a snapshot of where things stand on 1st January 2025, then everything would be the same and it would be business as usual. However, within days that will change and an extraordinary series of events will be underway that will turn 2025 into the year that everything until now has led up to and everything from now will lead on from.

The year begins with Neptune, the planet of hopes and dreams in your work sector, as he has been since 2012, along with Saturn, who has been here since March 2023. For nearly two years they have been working as a team, with Saturn giving you the resolve to do whatever it takes for as long as it takes in order to turn Neptune’s dreams into reality. They are also both getting ready to leave, Neptune on 31st March and Saturn on 25th May, though this won’t be goodbye just yet. Saturn will retrograde back in on 1st September before leaving in February 2026, while Neptune will retrograde back in on 22nd October, before leaving in January 2026 and then not returning again in our lifetime. It is while they are gone that everything is set to change on the career front, with preparations for this starting within days of moving into the New Year.

Helping to get Neptune and Saturn’s final months underway will be Venus’ return to your work sector on 3rd January and while she will leave on 4th February, she will return again from 27th March to 1st May. Mercury will do the same, returning from 15th February to 3rd March, only to return again from 30th March to 16th April, during the critical months when Saturn and Neptune will be transitioning out. Meanwhile, while this is happening Mars, who left your career sector in November 2024 will retrograde back in on 6th January and not leaving again until 18th April, he will be here, firing up your professional passions, fighting and competitive spirit during those critical months. Mars is also back for his own mission, which is to help you prepare for Jupiter, the planet of luck and expansion’s return to your career sector on 10th June to begin your biggest year for professional growth and expansion in over a decade. This is who Saturn and Neptune will return to find when they retrograde back into your work sector to tie up loose ends later in the year.

SCORPIO
First impressions might suggest that this will be a slow or at the very least an ordinary professional year, with not a lot to see here. You do start the year with Mars, the planet of passion and the warrior planet of the cosmos in your busy work sector, but he is not only in retrograde motion but will retrograde back out on 6th January. This will leave your work sector empty while even the dwarf planet Eris, the warrior princess of the cosmos who has been in your work sector for over nine decades will begin the year in retrograde motion. Starting the year with the warrior prince and princess of the cosmos in your two professional houses but both in retrograde motion won’t just feel like the brakes are on, they really will be, though for good reason. Eris will turn direct on 11th January but will remain at a standstill for the whole of January, giving you a chance to pause before this professional year takes an unexpected and exciting turn.

It is on 4th February that things will start to pick up, with Venus returning to begin what is normally a 24 day chance to fuel your job confidence, attract opportunities and steer things in a lucrative direction. Instead, Venus will soon start slowing down as well, with a retrograde turn on 2nd March seeing her retrograde back out on 27th March, only to return from 1st May to 6th June to find that everything has changed. Even Mercury will follow the pattern of planets turning retrograde and holding things back, for he will return to your work sector from 3rd March to 30th March, only to retrograde back out and return again from 16th April to 11th May. In both cases, they have seen what’s coming and know that the few weeks they would normally spend here won’t be nearly enough.

What is coming is not just Mars’ return to your career sector on 18th April, but the return of Neptune, the planet of hopes and dreams for his first visit to your work sector in our lifetime on 31st March, followed by Saturn returning for his first visit in three decades on 25th May. Both will retrograde back out later in the year, Saturn on 1st September and Neptune on 22nd October, but when Neptune returns in January 2026 he will be here until 2039 while Saturn will return in February 2026 and not leave until 2028. That slow start to the year is so that you have time to get your bearings and prepare for what is coming. Mars will move through your career sector from 18th April to 17th June, but this will be followed by a period from 27th June to 19th September when the Sun, Mercury and Venus will all move through.

SAGITTARIUS
On the one hand, it is business as usual on the job and career fronts this year, but with some big differences that set this year apart in a way that isn’t going to be too game changing and instead will contribute to making this a good year on both fronts. Since Uranus, the planet of surprise, synchronicity and the unexpected returned to your work sector in 2019 there has been continuous planetary activity on the job front. However, Uranus is a slow outer planet whose main focus is on keeping things on their right path and continuing to provide the freshest perceptive. Uranus can also trigger unexpected, serendipitous or eureka moments and especially when there are other planets moving through. The year begins with Uranus in retrograde motion and until he turns direct on 31st January you are still reviewing things from last year.

With no planetary activity in your work sector, the year might get off to a slow start, but this gives you a chance to ease into things. The first sign of change will be the Full Moon in your career sector on 14th March, something that at this time each year and halfway between the Sun’s last visit and the next, can give career matters a much needed boost. However, what suggests that something has changed is that this will be no ordinary Full Moon, but a total lunar eclipse. This is the result of the South Node’s return to your career sector on 12th January, where until leaving in July 2026 it will keep a silent watch on things and especially on the rear view mirror. Meanwhile, as happens on the March equinox each year, the Sun’s return to your career sector on 20th April will turn the solar spotlight onto your work situation, job matters and options, before leaving on 21st May.

Mercury will move through from 11th May to 26th May while Venus a little later, from 6th June to 5th July. As has been the case each year since 2019 they will each connect with Uranus as they move through. However, on 7th July, two days after Venus leaves so too will Uranus. Uranus will return on 8th November but to tie up loose ends, only to leave again in April 2026 and not return again for another eight decades. It is during Venus and Uranus’s final weeks in your work sector and while together they will have the laws of attraction and synchronicity in effect that Mars will return to your career sector on 17th June to begin the first planetary activity on the job front his year. As planetary activity on the job front takes a break, this will provide continuity, with a parade of planets that will move through not ending until 14th October. By then Uranus will be just a few weeks away from returning to your work sector on 8th November.

CAPRICORN
As you move into 2025 you are just past the halfway point of Jupiter’s 13 month quest for job growth and expansion that began with his return to your work sector in May 2024 and will end when he leaves on 10th June. Jupiter will begin the year in retrograde motion and not turning direct until 4th February, it might feel like things are slow to take off but considering just how much is going to be packed into this one year, this is a major advantage. There will also be a sense that even when Jupiter turns direct he won’t be in too much of a hurry. Viewed from what you can see at the time that doesn’t make sense, because once the planet of luck and expansion leaves on 10th June it will be over a decade until he returns. Jupiter should be in a hurry to tie up loose ends before he leaves, but as the time approaches there will be a sense that this is not the end of the story.

As he does at this time each year, the Sun will move through from 21st May to 21st June, with the solar spotlight on your work situation, job matters and options during Jupiter’s final weeks and for another 11 days after he leaves. Even Mercury will move through from 26th May to 9th June, giving you everything needed to keep your head in the game and to think on your feet during Jupiter’s final weeks. Even after the Sun and Mercury leave and your work sector is empty for the first time since April 2024, instead of being ready to tie up loose ends it is going to feel like what you have been doing is preparing for a new beginning. Part of that feeling that there is more to come is that Venus has yet to return and won’t return to fuel your job, attract opportunities and steer things in a lucrative direction until 5th July.

However, it is two days later that everything will change and start to make sense, when on 7th July Uranus, the planet of surprise, synchronicity and the unexpected will return to your work sector for the first time in eight decades. Uranus is only here for four months and will retrograde back out again on 8th November. However, once direct he will return again in April 2026, this time to make this his home until May 2033. The 13 months Jupiter will spend her is just a stepping stone. It is also while Uranus is here that things will start opening up on the career front. Whether it is Mars’ return to your career sector on 7th August, Mercury’s return on 18th September, the Sun’s return on 23rd September or Venus’ return on 14th October, they will all spend their early days at a friendly aspect to Uranus. The last to leave will be Venus on 7th November, coincidently a day after Uranus retrogrades back out of your work sector and four months to the day since they first met up there on 7th July.

AQUARIUS
As you move into this new professional year, first impressions will suggest that there is either nothing to see here or it is business as usual. The year begins with no planetary activity in your work sector after Mars left in November 2024, though you wouldn’t normally expect any at this time of year and while the main body of planets has already moved through your career sector the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment is still there. Juno is a tiny player whose influence is more internal than external, so she is not going to be triggering any activity on the career front and instead, until leaving on 20th February she will make it easier to stick to your resolutions. However, within days of moving into 2025, things will start to change and especially on the job front and in a way that will be in preparation for much bigger things to come. On 6th January and almost two months to the day after leaving, Mars will retrograde back into your work sector and won’t leave again until 18th April.

Until turning direct on 24th February, Mars will be going back over old ground and retracing the steps taken during the two months that he has already spent here. Mars will normally only spend six weeks firing things up on the job front in a way that only the planet of passion and the warrior planet of the cosmos can, but after spending two months here from September to November 2024, he will spend another three and a half months here. Retrograding planets often signal major developments ahead that they need to spend additional time helping you prepare for. While Mars’ time here is going create a lot of opportunities and progress on the job front and a sense of purpose once he is back in direct motion, but this is also preparation for Jupiter, the planet of luck and expansion’s return on 10th June and the start of your biggest year for job growth and expansion in over a decade.

Helping to get that underway will be having Mercury in your career sector from 9th June to 27th June and the Sun from 21st June to 22nd July. Held back by a retrograde phase earlier in the year, Venus won’t return until 31st July and until leaving on 26th August she will be on her own with Jupiter, bringing the laws of attraction and the element of luck together. It is less than a month later that Mars will return to your career sector on 22nd September to begin firing things up on the career front. This time instead of preparing the way for Jupiter’s return to your work sector, as he returns to get things moving on the career front it will be to piggyback off the momentum he will have created by then. Over the coming months the Sun, Mercury and Venus will all move through, keeping things active on the career front until 12th December.

PISCES
While the year will begin with Mars in your work sector and Mercury in your career sector, within just eight days both will be gone though in both cases, you won’t have to wait as long as you might think for the next lot of activity. There is rarely any planetary activity on the job front at this time of year, so just starting the year with Mars here is an anomaly while Mercury is still in your work sector because he hasn’t quite finished a visit that had begun in early November 2024 and had run overtime due to a retrograde phase. Mars will have been in your work sector for two months when he retrogrades back out on 6th January and Mercury will have been in your career sector for two months when he leaves on 8th January. This might leave your two professional houses empty but with a lot to draw on and process.

At the same time, you won’t have to wait until the Sun returns to your work sector in July or for it to return to your career sector in November, as he does each year or just rely on the Moon’s monthly visits. Career matters will get a boost when the asteroid Juno returns to your career sector on 20th February and while not a major player and her influence is more an internal rather than an external one, as the queen of commitment she can give you a sense of resolve until she leaves on 15th April, returning again from 1st October to 30th December, which will coincide with the most active months of the year on the career front. Work and job matters will get a more substantial boost when once back in direct motion, Mars will return to your work sector on 18th April for a do over, this time spending another three and a half weeks firing things up on the job front before leaving on 17th June.

By the time the Sun returns on 23rd July, the point in each year when the solar spotlight is just starting to shift onto your work situation, job matters and options for the first time each year, a lot of water will have already passed under the bridge. This second chapter and the more typical for this time of year will run from the Sun’s return on 23rd July to Venus’ departure on 19th September. By the time Mars returns to your career sector on 5th November to fire things up, Mercury will have beat him by just a few days, returning on 30th October to begin the most active months of the year on the career front. By then Juno will be back and you will have her resolve and sense of commitment to draw on. From Mercury’s return things will remain active on the career front right through to 2nd January 2026, with November and December the most active months.
