Nothing is ever perfect, but this could truly be your luckiest year yet. Your Cancer horoscope for 2025 promises you’ll being blessed with abundance, and by the time these 365 days are up, you may be looking back on a year that was filled to the brim with good fortune.
With that being said, it also starts off on super rough note. On January 6, Mars retrograde will backslide into Cancer, bringing your ego to the forefront of your challenges. It may be hard not to take some of this challenging energy so personally, and yet, it could also encourage you to really prove yourself. Fret not, because on January 11, a welcome change will take place as the North Node of Destiny enters fellow water sign Pisces, your ninth house of wisdom and adventure. You’ll feel the wind beneath your wings this year and you might even find yourself traveling to faraway locales. When a full moon rises at 24 degrees of Cancer, you may even have an epiphany, coming to terms with who you’re becoming and where you stand on a soul level. Let’s not forget the moon is also your ruling planet. By February 23, Mars will station direct at 17 degrees of Cancer, setting you free from its frustration.
However, you may be dealing with a new challenge once Venus—planet of love and money—stations retrograde in Aries on March 1, sucking some of the fun out of your 10th house of career and reputation. You may struggle to feel passionate about your professional path or tend with conflict among colleagues. This will only be amplified once Mercury—planet of communication and cognitive function—stations retrograde in the same zodiac sign as of March 15. Luckily, both planets will have stationed direct in Pisces by April 12, when you’ll walk away from the experience with a renewed perspective of what you believe and have faith in.
A series of major planetary shifts begins on March 30. This is when Neptune—planet of spirituality and fantasy—will leave behind Pisces and enter Aries, your most public and ambitious house. For the next 15 years, you may find that your career takes an artistic turn from here on out, or perhaps becomes more centered on healing and empathy. On May 24, Saturn—planet of discipline and longevity—will enter also enter Aries, placing pressure on your professional pursuits and forcing you to take them more seriously for the next two years. On June 9, the most exciting shift of them all takes place as Jupiter—planet of growth and expansion—enters Cancer, blessing your first house of the self with more confidence and encouraging you to take up more space in the outer world. Lastly, revolutionary Uranus will enter Gemini—your 12th house of subconscious inner workings—as of July 7, launching a long period of spiritual introspection that lasts until 2033.
While all of this is happening, a full moon in Capricorn will highlight your relationships and how they’ve grown on July 10. You may be taking a relationship to the next level or realizing that you’ve outgrown someone you’ve invested heavily into.
A beautiful moment of personal growth may unfold as Jupiter in Cancer forms a trine with the North Node in Pisces September 21, bringing you somewhere far from home (literally or figuratively). This divine alignment will bring you exactly where you need to be, but it will also heal professional wounds as Jupiter squares off with Chiron in Aries on October 23.
The end of the year will cause you to shift gears. Jupiter stations retrograde at 25 degrees of Cancer on November 11, encouraging you to pull back and focus more on inner growth for the remainder of 2025. This is just the beginning of something beautiful, and so much of the story you begin writing this year will unfold over 2026.
