January 2025 Horoscope: Say Yes to Spontaneous Getaways This Month

From a quick glance at your January 2025 horoscope, we can tell you one thing: Don't expect this month to be the kickoff to 2025—expect it to feel more like a halftime show (but maybe one with considerably lower production value). We are still sputtering through the engine failure of Mars Retrograde this month, but are perhaps deeper into the troubleshooting process now. On top of that, Venus spends the month in Pisces, enhancing the aesthetic dimensions of this period of deep pause. You might not be ready to get back in the game just yet, but at least the sunsets are epic here.
Truly, this might be one of the better months of the year to take a break or get away from it all, and preferably somewhere beautiful. (See: this list of the best places to go in January for inspo.) With Mercury now direct and entering its more pragmatic expression in Capricorn on January 8, travel and commuting should be considerably less wonky than it was in November and December. Additionally, Venus exalted in Pisces will tempt us into pleasure-seeking mode, even if Saturn is there to deny or restrain the ideal version of the good time Venus is seeking. Halfway to perfect is still pretty good, and we might be receiving lessons around relational due diligence in place of simple fairytale endings or picture-perfect vacation postcards. This is the time to try to love the experience you’re having, not the one you thought you were going to get.
January also lends itself to “figuring things out” mode. In Capricorn, Mercury makes an excellent planner and project manager, and the Sun’s opposition to Mars on January 15 marks the midpoint of Mars’ retrograde—a time when built-up tension is liable to snap and release us from a path that may no longer be viable. It may be premature to act on anything we learn just yet, but we might have more information about what’s not working, what won’t work, and where we lack the will to proceed. It will feel easier to start organizing toward a solution and adjusting our sails once we sense where the wind is blowing. Until then, try to enjoy the island breeze.
Astrologer's note: Below we refer to your signs as “rising” signs, also known as your ascendant sign. Horoscopes are more accurate when read this way—using your birth time and location, you can quickly find your rising sign online (it takes less than 30 seconds).
So much of what you’re learning right now is actually just a matter of experiencing the world from the passenger seat. You’re more comfortable at the wheel, and that’s kind of the entire point. When the
