The Sun, Venus, Mercury and Mars all in earthy Capricorn with Jupiter across in Cancer will make for a lively start to the New Year after the Full Moon on the 3rd has passed. Capricorn is known for indulgence and seeking out pleasure as well as being money minded and status conscious.
Gradually after midmonth a transition to airy, chatty, detached Aquarius starts with Venus in the lead. Fun with friends and in group activities will be on the agenda though intense, blocked and controlling Pluto will start to crash the party from the 19th connecting with Venus, then the Sun and peaking after Mars moves into Aquarius in the final week. It’ll be a tense, frustrating, maybe high risk end to the month.

OUTER PLANETS
Jupiter in Cancer from June 9 2025 until June 30 2026 – focused on family and home, expansive, emotional, sympathetic, easy going.
Saturn: In Pisces from March 8 2023 till May 25 2025; and again September 1st 2025 to February 12th 2026 – a time to let the past go, push old regrets aside and be supportive to those in need.
Saturn in Aries from May 25th 2025 for the first time in 29 years. There will be a need for grit, self-reliance, initiative, patience and resourcefulness. It can lead to selfish behaviour on the part of some and a lack of cooperation since the tendency will be to pursue an independent course. Though Neptune close by may soften its effect bringing more sympathy for those in need. Retrogrades into Pisces on September 1 2025 to February 12th 2026, after which it stays in Aries until April 2028
Uranus: From March 2019 until July 2025 in Taurus – changing attitudes to handling of money, possessions and resources especially in agriculture and our attitude to nature. Into Gemini from July 7 2025 to November 2025 – lively discussions, new ideas, alternative approaches, fast-moving, outspoken. There will be a retrograde back into Taurus from November 2025 to April 2026, after which it stays in Gemini until 2032.
Neptune in Aries from from late April 2025 till 2039 (with a brief retrograde back into Pisces from late October to late January 2026) can prompt individuals to submit themselves to a bigger cause than themselves. In the past it has led to an increase in individual rights and advances for disenfranchised people. When back in Pisces it reprises the mood of the past decade plus with conspiracy theories running rampant.
Pluto in Aquarius from late November 2024 till 2044. Can be enlightening, fosters social movements and equality, changes outlooks and attitudes, brings intense discussions and scientific advances.
I think some of your 2025 dates might be 2026. Apologies if I am misreading.
Hi Which bits. Normally HH has its own space but I just put it up here temporarily. At the bottom are the start/finish dates of the outer planets in different signs.
