Mars is retrograde all month, and slips back into your social sector

Earth to Virgo! Ever since rambunctious Mars turned retrograde in Leo and your somnolent twelfth house last December 6, you’ve been like a phone whose signal couldn’t get past a few bars. Hopefully you took advantage of the opportunity to chill out and get in a long winter’s nap.

The pace of life picks up again starting January 6, as Mars retrograde moves back one space on the gameboard, retreating into Cancer and your eleventh house of community and technology until February 23 (then direct until April 18). Where you’re feeling maxed out, consider adopting a team approach—and fast-tracking it into the future by using new devices, software and apps to make your workflow smoother.

Mars retrograde until February 23 could bring reunions with a team or organization that you were once a part of. Your civic spirit will also be revved so don’t be surprised if the winter brings a round of activism, community volunteering or even some deeper engagement in local politics.

Mars can be a spitfire and this swirl through Cancer could also rile up tension in a group. You might opt out, or step back until the retrograde ends. If you’ve outgrown this crew, don’t hang on out of habit or misplaced loyalty. You need to be around your peers, Virgo, so create some space in your schedule to find your updated, 2025 squad.

Romantically, this Mars cycle could make it a little harder to commit to just one person. You’ll certainly need a longer leash, or a more vibrant social life that you share together. Too much “just the two of us” time will quickly grow tiring. So when in doubt, adopt this mantra: The couple that plays together, slays together.

The lunar nodes move into Pisces (North) and Virgo (South) on January 11

Karma calls this January 11, when, for the first time since 2006-07, the lunar South Node settles into your sign. Who do you think you are, REALLY? Between now and July 26, 2026, you’ll spin into a profound inquiry around identity, personal passions and self-expression.

Time to “true up” with your innate skills and rediscover your superpowers, Virgo. You may have packed some of these away, hiding your talents for fear of being ridiculed or misunderstood. Perhaps you even forgot that these parts of yourself existed! Unveil the real you to the world—in a way that inspires others to live out loud.

Don’t expect this transit to be a walk in the park. As willing as you are to bare your soul, you hate the idea of not looking perfect when you do. This process could get a little messy, causing people to question your intentions. Take heart, Virgo! With a little courage and conviction, you can help them understand the message behind your “madness.” You may feel a call to “rebrand” yourself—not as the person who has it all together, but rather, as someone relatable who can own their mistakes and is figuring it out along the way.

If you’ve outgrown certain situations, there’s no need to start pulling plugs. But gently begin untangling yourself from these bonds. Messy goodbyes can be rough for meticulous Virgos; you prefer when they’re done as neatly as possible. And you never know! The universe may bring you back together again in the future after you’ve both evolved.

Plus, there’s another half to this equation: The lunar North Node will concurrently travel through the opposite pole of the zodiac, in Pisces and your seventh house of partnerships. Until July 26, 2026, you’ll have repeated opportunities to find, develop or improve on a special dynamic duo. As you enter this romantic, playful stage of partnership, take the plunge into collaboration with a romantic interest, a writing or performing partner, or a professional associate. Fate brought the two of you together, so make the most of it!

The Pisces North Node may bring a milestone moment for relationships. If you’re ready to tie the knot, there couldn’t be a more beautiful time for it. (Just mind the Venus retrograde cycle from March 1 to April 12, a less-than-ideal astrological time for nuptials.) Maybe marriage isn’t your thing, and you’d prefer a more spacious arrangement. Whatever way you define “relationship bliss,” the Pisces North Node gives you permission to soften your rigid stance and go pursue your love goals.

The first full moon of 2025 is in Cancer on January 13

All for one and one for all! On January 13 (5:27PM EST), the first full moon of 2025 could reveal new ways you can team up to make your daily grind easier and a lot more inspiring. In nurturing Cancer, this full moon will light up your eleventh house of teamwork and technology. A trailblazing project—possibly one that involves an app or brings together a “niche” online community—might become a big part of your year ahead.

Just watch out for ego trips and power struggles, even subtle ones, because this full moon will land right next to bloviating Mars retrograde. A little bit of success could go to someone’s head (yours included). A friendship that’s become rooted in gossip or one-upmanship could use some repair work, or maybe it’s time to move on.

On the flip side, it’s possible that your process has become SO democratic that a few superstars aren’t getting the applause they’ve earned, or it might feel like your ship has no captain. While it’s important to keep everyone’s morale up (especially if you’re working remotely), signal-boosting the MVPs is important for keeping them on your team.

Besides, it can motivate any of the slackers or wallflowers on the team to step up a bit more. Devise a fun challenge to spark up a healthy competitive spirit and bring playfulness into the picture. Games and novelty can energize a project that’s plateaued. You could also pair a seasoned teammate with another who needs a little support finding their sea legs. If that person is YOU, reach out to someone you admire and ask them for some advice or mentorship. Chances are, they’ll be flattered.

The Sun moves into Aquarius, your wellbeing zone, on January 19

Blow that dust off your juicer, Virgo. January’s extended hedonism tour concludes this January 19 when the Sun leaves Capricorn and moves into Aquarius until February 18. Now, those life-giving rays are spotlighting your sixth house of health and wellbeing—the zodiac zone ruled by Virgo. With El Sol in this orderly zone, you’ll recover your wits and get back to the planning, tidying and detoxing that’s in your wheelhouse.

We all knew you’d eventually spring back to some amount of discipline and predictability. After all, the new year is an opportunity to make lists, crack the spine of an aesthetic new day planner and apply that Virgoan rigor to your goals.

Just pace yourself. Throwing yourself into anything extreme will backfire. Plus, the people around you might need a minute to adapt to your sudden 180-degree shift from party monster to sunrise bootcamper. Ease out of the old habits while simultaneously dabbling in the new ones. In the ten days leading up to the Aquarius new moon, gradually introduce a new practice, one step at a time.

The Aquarius new moon kicks off the Year of the Wood Snake on January 29

If you’ve been waiting for a good moment to relaunch a healthier lifestyle (cleaner diet, more exercise, less junk food), January 29 could be one of the most auspicious days of the year! The year’s only Aquarius new moon ramps up the action in your sixth house of systems and self-care. Craft a plan for a life improvement project or commit to learning a new skill (remember: one step at a time!). Also remember to ease up on the pressure you put on yourself. The next two weeks are peak for manifesting, so come up with a realistic timeline to achieve your goals, then slowly enact the changes.

Today also marks the Lunar New Year, which always falls at the Aquarius new moon, as we leave behind the intense Year of the Wood Dragon and enter the sensual and strategic Year of the Wood Snake. The Dragon is associated with assertive and combative Mars, while the Snake is linked to beautifying Venus, marking a shift from yang to yin energy.

It’s a year to be stealthy and strategic, rather than outwardly fierce and fire-breathing like the Dragon. But that doesn’t mean you should stop pursuing the goals you began in February 2024. Quite the opposite! The quest to grow, expand and build that accompanies a two-year Wood period will continue until February 16, 2026. Luckily, Virgos prefer chipping away steadily at a plan than aggressively competing (though you will if you have to!). In the Snake Year, the best move is to define your target with precision—then strike!

Uranus snaps out of its five-month retrograde (in Taurus) on January 30

Shout it from the rooftops! On January 30, trailblazer Uranus wakes up from a five-month retrograde in Taurus, bringing exciting growth opportunities out of the blue. With the planet of radical change in this worldly sector, you could connect with a long-distance client or collaborator. An opportunity to teach, publish or broadcast could appear, and you’ll want to make use of every platform that your ideal audience uses.

The ninth house rules travel, and Uranus’ direct turn could find you exploring dream destinations or concocting adventurous jaunts to see new parts of the world. With the exploratory planet in this metaphysical zone, you might book a tour of a sacred site or a guided shamanic retreat. Experiences that elevate your mind and spirit are encouraged, especially since Uranus will leave Taurus from July 7 until November 7 this year, before making a permanent exit next April.

Wanted: A relationship with staying power. Longevity is the name of your romance game this January, as love planet Venus sweeps into Pisces and your seventh house of commitment from January 2 to February 4. Clear the decks of those halfhearted situationships; put a poorly performing partner on notice. That might sound serious, but oh well! When Venus meets up with no-nonsense Saturn on the 18th, you need to know: are you in or are you out?

For some Virgos, it may be a matter of exerting willpower over your own reflexive behaviors. If you’ve been filling up with the empty calories of Tinder flings and ephemeral romances, here’s your cue to create space for lasting love to flow in.

Already spoken for? This Venus phase will bring you closer to the one you j’adore. Make like a Virgo and get an official date night on the calendar. You can bring in the element of surprise by taking turns planning the dates. Push the envelope into fantasy-fueling terrain while the love planet floats through night-owl Pisces. Under the cover of a starry sky, there’s no telling where you and your plus-one will find yourselves.

With Venus in this give-and-take realm of your chart, make sure to talk and listen in equal measure. If you’ve been struggling to understand each other, try the Imago dialogue technique: listening and then mirroring back what the other person said, making sure you really got the message. (For example: “What I hear you saying is you’d like me to put my phone away and stop scrolling when we’re together.”)

Though your sign loves to be helpful, you can sometimes become too focused on “fixing” the other person, a habit worth looking at this month. Try some unconditional acceptance—and extend a little of that to yourself, too, while you’re at it. The kinder you are to yourself, the easier it will be to adore your S.O.’s quirks.

Creativity takes center stage this month, Virgo! Until January 19, the Sun lights up Capricorn and your fifth house of passion and self-expression, inspiring you to take bold strides on projects that matter to you. Use this energy to showcase your unique talents, whether through a creative pursuit or leadership role. This is a time to let your originality shine and attract like-minded collaborators who can help bring your vision to life.

Mars retrograde in Cancer, your eleventh house of teamwork and technology, encourages a slower pace in group efforts until February 23. Focus on revisiting plans, reconnecting with past collaborators, or refining ideas for innovation. Watch for tension within your networks—this transit offers a chance to resolve lingering conflicts and create a stronger foundation for future success.

When the Sun moves into Aquarius on January 19, your attention shifts to your sixth house of work and wellness. The Aquarius new moon on January 29 is a prime time to refine your routines, embrace healthier habits, and organize your workspace for peak efficiency. As the Year of the Wood Snake begins, steady, strategic efforts will yield long-term rewards in both your career and personal growth.
