We’re in the first flush — or freeze — of the New Year, and while many start it with high hopes and doomed resolutions, a staggering number of us enter with high anxiety over what the future and our fortunes may hold.
Over the last several weeks, searches for “unlucky zodiac signs in 2025″ surged by a massive 3,850%, suggesting fear is besting optimism in the opening days of 2K25
Yikes.
Expert psychic, tarot reader and astrologer Inbaal Honigman is on hand, dice and stardust with her insights on which star signs will be feeling and getting lucky this year.
Aries folk can look forward to cash confidence and newfound riches in the year ahead.
“The solar eclipse in Aries on March 29 reveals some hidden truths that give you the edge over competitors,” Honigman shared. “A bonus you didn’t know about or a pay rise that was kept a secret will come to light and turn things around for you financially.”
Secret wealth? Competitive earning potential? Money to burn for this cardinal fire sign? Can dig.
Bull babies will find newfound fortune in their coffers of self-worth, courtesy of side-spinning, chaos-kissing Uranus.
“For most of the year, Uranus, the planet of rebellion, is in your sign, Taurus, which means you’ll feel more independent and comfortable standing up for yourself,” said Honigman.
From July to November, Uranus transits out of Taurus and into Gemini, giving bull folk a chance to stop charging/defying/bucking and an opportunity to integrate the lessons of divine upheaval.
It’s double trouble, double earning potential for Geminis by way of the influence of luck-drunk planet Jupiter, the luminary of good fortune, risky business and deep pockets.
“In the first half of the year, lucky financial breaks will flow your way. The planet of growth and abundance, Jupiter, is in your sign continuously until June 9. Business ideas will be successful, bank loans will be authorized, and you’ll find great bargains and deals with unexpected discounts applied at the checkout.”
Lucky breaks and good credit? All signs point to dollar signs, Gemini.
Cancer folk will also be blessed with the influence of dice rolling, pony betting, good times and glad rags.
“Jupiter, the planet of growth and abundance, goes into your sign on June 10 and remains in Cancer for the remainder of the year. It does turn retrograde on Nov. 12, which blocks your good money fortune, but only temporarily. Put that date in your diary, as that’s a good time to enjoy your earnings and plan for the following year.”
Leos can look for luck in their career sectors in 2025, thanks to the good tidings and fleet feet of Mercury, the planet of currency and exchange.
“Mercury will be in your sign for longer than usual, which means success with job applications, new projects, pitches, signing contracts and meeting new bosses at swanky events.”
Honigman says the ideal window for schmoozing and social climbing is June 27 to Sept. 2.
However, she cautions the lion pride to pump the brakes and cease the self-promotion during Mercury’s brief retrograde from July 17 to Aug. 11.
It’s a great year to be a Virgo, as those born under the banner of this mutable earth sign will be blessed with two eclipses, making it a year to remember.
“The lunar eclipse in Virgo is on March 13 and will be a revelation. Something you’ve wanted to find out for a long time will come to light and help boost you on a personal level. Then, the solar eclipse in Virgo on Sept. 21 will ensure you have the edge in career and money arenas. It’s a year of transformation as you step out from the shadows and into the sunshine and learn to enjoy the limelight.”
Coming out of the dark to count fat stacks? We love to see it, Virgo.
Ruled by Venus, the planet of attraction and aesthetics, Libra lives to be loved and to look good doing it — and this year is shaping up to be a fine time for flights of fancy.
After April 12, Venus will be in a state of forward motion for the remainder of the year.
“This means that every stage of your love life evolves naturally from the previous stage, and your romantic situation develops in the most hassle-free way,” Honigman says.
She notes that between March 1 and April 12, Venus is in retrograde, putting a hitch and a hold up in your love game.
However, you’ll be doubly blessed when the planet of silk sheets and cinematic sex lands in your sign from Oct. 14 to Nov. 6, adding an extra dash of good-good ahead of cuffing season.
No one loves a win more than you, Scorpio — and lucky for you, the validation of victory is aplenty in 2025.
“Fiery planet Mars, which rules passion and battles, is in your sign from Sept. 22 to Nov. 4. If there are arguments around you, legal situations, or even a longstanding neighborly dispute, you’re pushing ahead until you come out on top.”
After this heated push, Mercury will retrograde in your sign from Nov. 19 to 29, resurrecting old issues and irritants so that you can finally put (or take) them to bed.
Luck looks like community for you in 2025, Sagittarius.
“For the first half of the year, your ruling planet, Jupiter, is in fun-loving Gemini. This means parties, garden events, and invitations galore,” Honigman says. “As Jupiter moves into Cancer for the second half of the year, you find yourself surrounded by family, prioritizing calmer gatherings and your emotional health, which is even better for you.”
If you need a shoulder to lean on or a lap to land on, you’ll find a willing party at every turn.
Let it go and let it grow Capricorn.
“This is your year to plant your orchard because you won’t need to move for a long time. It’s your year to spend time with the older generation, to invest in renovations, to build a legacy,” shared Honigman.
For the past two decades, Pluto — our petite power planet of sex, death and transformation through trauma — has been holding court in your sign.
At long last, the planet has shifted into Aquarius, heralding a time for you to relax and recharge before you forge ahead.
Are you ready for the revolution, Aquarius?
“Did you want to pivot to a whole new career? Do it; you’ll find success. Were you planning to go back to your studies? Great idea. New husband, new home, anything that spells new beginnings will blessed for you this year,” said Honigman.
This slash and burn and rise up high on the fumes and ashes energy comes courtesy of Pluto spending every day of 2025 in your sign.
“For the past couple of years, Pluto has been popping in and out of Aquarius, creating cycles of transformation but not a committed, unbroken step. Now it is here to stay, and you’ll find lots of luck in creating and encouraging personal transformation.”
Praise be: Pisces people can expect to find luck in love this year.
“The planet Venus is in your sign twice this year, between January and April. It is the planet of love and brings good luck with relationships. In addition, you slowly put your dream life together this year, as two planets come together,” Honigman says. “Saturn, the planet of karma, and Neptune, the planet of illusion, are both in your sign for the first quarter of the year. Finally, the lunar eclipse in Pisces on Sept. 7 gives you a flash of things to come. You’ll be introduced to a helpful character who could help you leap towards your ideal future.
