ARIES: As 2025 begins, Aries, you might be asking yourself why you’re fighting so hard for your family when no one else seems to be meeting you halfway. As Mars retrogrades into your connected 4th House of Home and Family on January 6, you may have to wave a white flag and surrender to what you can’t control in your family dynamic. This might be connected to seemingly endless attempts to keep the peace between relatives who are always quarreling, leaving you feeling like the “monkey in the middle.” No more! You’ve realized that not only is this exhausting, but it’s always going to be a lose/lose situation. This is really all you can do, and the Full Moon in this same House on January 13 will have you fully aware of what you need to do in order to maintain your sense of equilibrium. You might also be grappling with the limitations in your current love life (or lack thereof). Venus and Saturn meet up in your 12th House of Seclusion on January 18, making you aware of the prison you’re keeping yourself in when it comes to matters of the heart. If you want something different, you need to do something different. You’re almost there.
