Weekly Astrology Forecast: Jan 27–Feb 2, 2025

We have a very eventful week full of astrological shifts and transits, so you can expect the energy to be extra intense and charged. That doesn’t necessarily mean it’s negative. With a little preparation and awareness, you can navigate these currents smoothly and use them to your advantage.

To start the week, on Monday Mercury moves into Aquarius. Mercury feels comfortable and energized here.

Mercury rules thinking, communication, and ideas. Aquarius is an Air sign, highly cerebral, curious, and oriented toward innovation. Over the roughly three weeks this transit lasts, you may notice your thoughts becoming more experimental and open to fresh perspectives. It’s a useful period for releasing inherited beliefs or habits that no longer align with your values and for exploring alternative ways of thinking.

Breaking away from tradition to discover what genuinely fits your mindset is a key part of mental and emotional growth.

Midweek, on the 29th, we have the New Moon in Aquarius, which heightens the influence of this sign. New moons are ideal for beginnings—think of them as planting seeds for new intentions and projects.

This Aquarius New Moon emphasizes change, evolution, and revolution.

Aquarius looks forward, prefers unconventional approaches, and resists rigid rules. It encourages growth and experimentation, seeking new forms of living and thinking.

Use this New Moon to consider what habits or patterns you’re ready to leave behind—those that no longer serve your development.

Reflect on the beliefs and values that genuinely resonate with you. Have the courage to follow your own rhythm rather than letting outside opinions dictate your choices. That doesn’t mean rebelling for rebellion’s sake—true change comes from choices grounded in your own convictions. During this New Moon, consider an intention-setting ritual: write down long-term goals and the steps you want to take. A written plan provides a tangible reference and helps keep you accountable.

On the 30th, Uranus turns direct in Taurus. This aligns well with the Aquarian currents active now.

Uranus governs breakthroughs, liberation, and experimentation. When it moves direct, momentum often returns to plans that felt stalled during retrograde. If you prepared or reconsidered changes while Uranus was retrograde, you may now see those plans begin to materialize.

Expect ideas and changes you’ve been contemplating to start taking shape.

Aquarius and Uranus share a focus on collective progress. This week invites reflection on what you contribute to the broader community. Modern life often emphasizes extreme individualism; now is a good time to seek balance between self-expression and participation in a supportive collective. No one thrives in complete isolation, and this week’s astrology gently reminds us of that truth.
