Valentine’s Day Is Coming and Venus Is on the Move!
Valentine’s Day Is Coming and Venus Is on the Move!
With Valentine’s Day just a couple of weeks away, you’re likely to scan through this looking for some spicy advice—and we’ve got some, even if it isn’t what you’d expect. The major headlines are these: Venus, the planet of love, is moving into Aries, a very action-packed and passionate sign. So, passionate love action, that seems good, but what’s that sound? Is that the other shoe dropping? It is indeed! Mars, the planet of war, which governs aggression, energy, and (in a weird and inconvenient turn of events) physical intimacy, is in retrograde. Essentially, any plans you might’ve had to hook up on the big day are bound to be super awkward.
Can we still spin this setback into something positive? We like to think so! This whole Mars thing can serve as a reminder not to act impulsively and to focus on loving yourself before you go loving others. And hey, you might still get some chocolate and jewelry out of the deal!
Aries (March 21 – April 19)
Knock ‘Em Dead, Aries
Alright, Aries, you saw the headline, Venus is heading over to your house, so if anyone is gonna be charged up with the power of love, it’s you. Also maybe Huey Lewis. But I believe we were talking about you, Aries—your proximity to Venus will charge up your love meter to the brim, resulting in irresistible magnetism. Basically, you’ll be a big, sexy bug zapper and you’ll either spark new relationships or revitalize old ones, depending on your whole situation. Either way, be ready to reel in a whopper on the night of the full moon, February 12. And did we mention that you’ll have particularly potent dreams in the early part of the month? Seriously, write that dream stuff down, it just might come true!
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
Meet the New Taurus
Everybody talks about how you’re so stubborn and strong-willed, but that’s like Taurus 101, and frankly, it’s kinda old news. Aquarius season has some changes in store for you thanks to your planetary ruler, Venus. Actually, there are a bunch of planets doing a creative collab to increase your outcomes this month. Venus invited Jupiter and Neptune to the party and you couldn’t ask for two better guests—Jupiter’s forward momentum aims to increase your cash flow while Venus’ meetup with Neptune, planet of dreams, will result in you earning a new defining characteristic for 2025: Intuition! Who knew you were so wise? No one? Well, start spreading the news, babe!
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
Achievement Unlocked, Gemini
Whoa, someone is on the verge of leveling up their career! And what a coincidence, it’s you, Gemini! You’ve had a new skill developing in the background for a couple years now, something that you’ve previously played down, “it’s just a hobby,” you’d say. Well, you’ve put in the time and now you’ve reached the point of mastery. The influence of Venus and Neptune will fuel your creativity and your ruling planet, Mercury, will supply the extra oomph when it lines up with the heart of the sun. Long story less long, all this planetary power is going to revolutionize your work life for a more fulfilling and successful 2025!
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
We Can Fix It, Cancer
Oh hey, Cancer. When we said that Mars was in retrograde, what we didn’t mention is that it was retrograding into your sign. What does this mean for you? A lot of soul-searching and emotional breakthroughs regarding troubles of the past, that’s for sure. It’s a good time to reach out to loved ones and patch up old, broken relationships, healing anything in you that might be old and broken too. It won’t be easy, but you’ll come out of it much lighter and brighter. Once you’ve wriggled free, you might notice a little bonus gift from Venus, a charged up tenth house. Your tenth house represents your career and Venus has rendered you irresistible in this space. Are you due for a promotion? An office romance? Maaaaybe…
Leo (July 23 – August 22)
Truth Hurts, Leo
Make way for Pluto! Everyone’s favorite dwarf planet (apologies to Haumea, you’re still a football-shaped Kuiper Belt cutie in our book) has a tendency for transformation, and in late January, those changes are headed your way. Specifically, you’ll reanalyze your personal connections and discover that they feel suddenly and unbearably one-dimensional. This will inspire you to shake things up and find new ways to communicate with the loves of your life, potentially taking your relationships from stagnant to stimulating. Far be it from Uranus to let Pluto have all the fun— once it ends its retrograde and starts straight ahead in early Feb, expect some innovative new ideas to cross your mind courtesy of the planet of originality.
Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
Show ‘Em How It’s Done, Virgo
Has anyone ever told you that you’re really good at organization? Oh, us, in every Lustorascope? Well, this time we really mean it. And this time, it’s going to come in even more clutch than ever before. Aquarius season will prove you’ve got what it takes to reach work/life balance nirvana. You’ve always been good, but now you’re like, start-your-own-lifestyle-brand good. By this time next year, you just might be the foremost purveyor of cozycore, dreaming up your own line of throw pillows, candles, and table linens. But until then, you can expect a surprisingly romantic February marked by some unforgettable fun. Venus is in your eighth house, which is the house of sex. Did you know you had one of those? It’s also the house of death, but not when Venus is in town. Phew!
Libra (September 23 – October 22)
Dig Deeper, Libra
Mars retrograde is going to sting you right in the career sector, compelling you to look back on past projects and think deeply about the things that went right and especially the things that went wrong. However, this will turn out to be time well spent in the year to come as you’ll approach each new project with keener eyes and make some pivotal breakthroughs. You’ll also face a wake up call in your personal life, flashy paramours will no longer excite you, no, you’re on a quest for something real, some actual substance! You’re ready to forge a deeper connection that will last for all the years to come. Mark your calendar, because the new moon on January 29 might just engineer the right conditions to make this dream into a reality.
Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)
Nurture Your Home Life, Scorpio
The about face that Uranus is gonna take on January 30 will inspire big relationship convos for attached Scorpios. Expect sweeping changes and the setting of new boundaries. That all sounds serious and scary, but remember that Venus is in your corner and that the weeks to come will still be really rather romantic, with a few incredibly memorable nights all but guaranteed. You will also find yourself sticking around the house a lot during this time as you remember all the things that you love about the place you call home. There’s no better time to engage with your family and upgrade your space with some new furniture, decor, or easy DIY projects.
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
Collect Your Winnings, Sagittarius
Venus is in your fifth house, which is a nice bit of Sagittarian luck, because that’s the house for romance, creativity, and joy. Jackpot! And the payout doesn’t stop there, Jupiter is influencing your relationships as well, and as you might know, Jupiter isn’t just the largest planet, it’s the largesse planet. Got a partner already? Expect your connection to grow stronger and spicier than ever like a mighty habanero. Got a situationship or a friend with benefits? Those connections are poised to beef up big time. We know, we know, you Sagittarians love your fierce independence and constantly resist being tied down, so this might come as a shock. However, 2025 might just be the perfect time to see if the grass is greener on the other side.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)
Feels Like Starting Over, Capricorn
Do you ever wish you could hit a big, red reset button on your finances? Have you been scratching instant win tickets hoping to strike it rich? Well, it’s not exactly winning the lottery, but things are about to ease up in terms of your bank account thanks to a much-deserved bonus at work. Jupiter just wrapped up its retrograde after what felt like literally forever and is finally back to being fruitful and multiplying. What this means for you is more natural productivity and greater earning potential to go along with it. Now that you freed up some dough, why not get to glamorizing your wardrobe and living space? Hey, if you’re going to be slightly richer, you might as well look the part! This is your Lustorascope, not an email from your financial planner, what’d you expect?
Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)
Let’s Celebrate YOU, Aquarius
Aquarius, it’s your time to shine! You made it another year, but how will this one be different from the others? Funny you should ask, because 2025 is shaping up to be the start of something BIG! You're carving a new path through life and it’s all thanks to a Pluto-powered transformation. The new moon and Jupiter’s forward shift will grace you with extra luck on this transition. It won’t be the most productive time of the year for you per se (stinking Mars and its stinking retrograde), but you’ll receive an excellent consolation prize from your friend, the universe: The biggest and best ideas you’ve ever had will reveal themselves to you in the weeks to come—please, please, please do yourself a favor and write them down, before they fade away!
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Here Comes Your Love, Pisces
Aquarius season will bring a time of deep introspection, blah, blah, blah. OK, let’s cut the fat and get right to the meat of the matter, Pisces. No cold fish here, the universe is conspiring to turn up the heat on your love life and you’ll definitely be feeling it as your innate animalistic desire for gettin’ busy shoots straight through the roof (sorry, roof). Essentially, whatever your romantic situation might be, expect it to be doused in gasoline and set aflame. As action-packed as your waking life will be, your dreams are bound to be even steamier due to Venus’ alignment with Neptune. Seriously, these dreams could only be shown on pay-per-view, ya dirty dog!
