Art by Annie Tarasova from my Cosmic Magic Oracle deck
Happy 2025, friends! I hope this year is full of so much magic, joy, love, and ease for you and I’m sending so much good energy your way!☺️
As someone who really believes in the power of words (I always say that words are spells✨) I wanted to share a word that I picked for each zodiac sign to embrace the magic of 2025 inspired by what’s happening astrologically this year.
You can find your word of the year below and I also wanted to remind you that I have some spots still open for a birth chart reading or a card reading to explore 2025 themes. There’s also an option of a wellness astro consultation and a astro book consultation as well!
All reading types can be found and booked here!
Words of the Year
Your word of the year is intended for inspiration and empowerment! I recommend reading the word for both your sun sign and your rising sign. Take what resonates with you and leave what doesn’t.✨
Aries: Pioneer
This is the year your natural trailblazing energy comes to the forefront! With Saturn and Neptune moving to your sign this year you’re leading the charge into personal uncharted territory. Pioneer reflects your role as a trailblazer in 2025. This is the year to take those chances and chase those things that make your heart sing.
Taurus: Foundation
2025 is the year that brings a stronger sense of security. Jupiter is still in Gemini for the first half of the year activating your 2nd house of abundance and stability. And with Pluto in Aquarius highlighting the career sector of your chart, Foundation represents the solid base you’re building for long-term success. Those seeds that you have been planting are getting some extra light this year. Be ready to blossom!
Gemini: Ascension
You have been on a journey of exploring more of your authentic self and this theme continues in 2025. Jupiter is still your sign until June amplifying your personal growth and inspiring you to live more authentically. And with Pluto in Aquarius in your 9th house, there might be a pull to expanding your personal beliefs and exploring other sides of yourself. Ascension captures your rise to greater understanding of who you are and allowing that version to be seen.
Cancer: Empowerment
This is your year of embracing your personal power! With Jupiter moving to your sign in June, personal growth and self-empowerment is a key theme for you this year. Plus, Pluto in Aquarius is activating the part of your chart for deep transformation and listening to your intuition. Empowerment reflects the reclamation of your power and your agency and reminding yourself that you are allowed to take up space.
Leo: Reinvention
What Leo doesn’t love some good glow-up energy? 2025 is the year to let yourself beam even brighter and reflect on how you want to show up in this world. This year, Pluto in Aquarius brings profound shifts to your partnerships, while Jupiter’s transit highlights self-reflection and healing. Reinvention captures the way you’re redefining your relationships to others and your sense of self in 2025.
Virgo: Breakthrough
2025 brings some clarifying and fresh energy. Saturn and Neptune in Aries brings some inspiration in the area of exploring your emotional depths, while Pluto in Aquarius revolutionizes your daily routines (which probably feels like a good exhale). When Jupiter moves to Cancer in June there’s some extra magic in the area of your social life, making Breakthrough the perfect theme for your evolution and personal growth.
Libra: Balance
Balance as the word for Libra? How groundbreaking, right? But the thing is, it’s a big theme for you this year! The eclipses highlight the push and pull between your needs and the needs of others, while Pluto in Aquarius transforms your creative self-expression. Balance reflects your journey toward equilibrium in relationships, creativity, and self-worth and leaning into just letting things be and unfold how they’re suppose to.
Scorpio: Alchemy
One of the archetypes for your sign is “the alchemist” and this year is a big one for connecting to that energy! With Pluto in Aquarius reshaping your home and foundation, and Jupiter in Cancer expanding your 9th house of expansion, you’re experiencing profound change. Alchemy reflects the deep, foundational shifts happening this year and your magical ability to take this transformative energy and transmute it into something beautiful.
Sagittarius: Influence
2025 is your influencer era! And I’m not referring to social media influence (unless you are feeling inspired in that way, of course😉) but more so your ability to have a positive influence on those around you and ponder on what message you want to put out into the world. With Pluto in Aquarius highlighting the communication area in your chart and Jupiter in Cancer activating your 8th house of collaborations, Influence captures the way you’re building your impact in 2025.
Capricorn: Redefinition
2025 is a year of some personal revolutions for you! Pluto in Aquarius brings transformative energy to your 2nd house of abundance, while Saturn and Neptune in Aries highlights your house of home and stability and how you protect your peace (yes, you need rest too!!) and also inspires reevaluation of what truly matters to you. Redefinition reflects the profound ways you’re rewriting your personal and financial story in 2025.
Aquarius: Resurgence
Big Aquarius Energy is in the air this year and this magic of the water bearer is here for you to tap into! With Pluto fully in your sign, you’re stepping into a role of personal power and transformation as well as pouring that energy into your community. Jupiter’s shift into Cancer in June also inspires a focus on holistic well-being. Resurgence reflects your rebirth and revitalization in 2025.
Pisces: Integration
This is the year you make your dreams a reality, Pisces! Pluto in Aquarius highlights the area of your chart for subconscious breakthroughs, while Saturn and Neptune’s shift into Aries brings some clarity and stability to your personal values. And Jupiter in Cancer in June inspires lots of creativity and joy! Integration reflects your journey of harmonizing dreams with reality and integrating more joy into your life.
Sending you so much love and good energy today and always! Happy 2025!🖤
