What cosmic surprises are the stars plotting for you in 2025?
The fascination with astrology and zodiac signs among Filipinos has grown stronger than ever. From social media trends to daily conversations, it’s clear that the stars and their alignments hold a special place in the hearts of many.
Astrology has long been part of our culture, often blending with traditional beliefs and superstitions. While the practice isn’t new, the digital age has made astrological insights more accessible and engaging. Apps, memes, and influencers have transformed zodiac signs from esoteric charts into everyday entertainment and self-reflection tools. Perhaps you've encountered the red-haired girl on TikTok—she's everyone's 'bestie,' appearing on our For You page when we're manifesting something or feeling confused and overwhelmed.
To this day, many Filipinos turn to astrology as a way to navigate uncertainty. Whether it’s Mercury retrograde wreaking havoc or lunar eclipses marking moments for self-care—the stars provide a comforting framework for understanding life’s chaos.
As we step into another year, the planets are aligning to present fresh opportunities for growth, change, and new experiences. The movements of the stars offer guidance for navigating these transitions. Filipino astrologer Resti Santiago highlighted that integrating astrology with practical actions can help individuals achieve their personal goals in 2025.
The excitement of the New Year often inspires ambitious resolutions—lose weight, earn more, or even find love. Yet, how often do these promises lose steam by February? Santiago explained that analyzing astrological forecasts can pinpoint areas and moments where success is more likely. By focusing on these favorable aspects, people can align their energy with the flow of the year while maintaining a realistic approach to what goals are truly achievable.
So, what’s in store for your sign?
Earth Signs
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
Taurus will thrive by working hard and maximizing their talents. If you’re a Taurus, this could finally mean turning your baking hobby into a small business to make a profit! Just don’t forget to get enough sleep—burnout won’t help your dreams.
Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
As for Virgos, Santiago highlights that this year is all about transformation. While that sounds daunting, it’s a nudge to finally tackle those big life changes you’ve been avoiding whether it’s switching careers or prioritizing mental health. Your love life might experience some coldness, but the challenge is to keep it more exciting, only then can stability in love be achieved—but you’d have to wait until the end of the year.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)Capricorn’s objective for this year is to boost their social skills–luck with romance will come with that. If you are single and ready to mingle, this is your year. The probability of finding the ‘love of your life’ is high. Finding the right partner is a must if you are interested in the business field. You need balance in your life, therefore, you should take good care of your health as well.
Fire Signs
Aries (March 21 – April 19)
Aries are said to find luck this year by learning something new, and honing skills and relationships with siblings. If you’re an Aries, maybe it’s time to rekindle a bond with your siblings or enroll in that long-postponed class. Not only does this align with the stars, but it’s also practical.
Leo (July 23 – August 22)
Leos, meanwhile, might face challenges if they don’t promote themselves effectively. If you’re a Leo, now’s the time to shine. Santiago advised you not to spend your money on unimportant things. So clear your shopping cart before your finances fail, as it may cause your temper to be volatile now but you must control your emotions and not be impulsive in love or financial matters.
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
You may have a bland start to the year, but you will eventually strike it lucky. For this to happen, ensure your life’s foundation is in order. Feng shui will come in handy for you. Look after yourself, your family, and your house. The second half of this year will cater to more opportunities and growth on your side. Accordingly, your pockets will also get lucky.
Air Signs
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
Gemini, known for their adaptability and curiosity, can look forward to a year of beginnings and growth. According to Santiago, 2025 holds opportunities for financial advancement or even a promotion, but only if you’re willing to take the initiative. The first half of the year is ideal for exploring new markets or starting fresh projects. If you’re a Gemini, this might be the time to finally launch that side hustle or take up a course that expands your skill set. Santiago advises focusing on personal growth and life direction rather than romantic pursuits.
Libra (September 23 – October 22)Libras, 2025 is not your time for love—but your time to rebuild your life in the best way possible. This year will allow you to start with a clean slate because the most difficult influences in your life are said to fade away this year. You will have the capacity to focus on your priorities, so use it. Santiago pointed out that Libras should learn to instill boundaries in their life.
Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)
Being creative and seeing and adapting to future trends will give you the upper hand in earning this year. Your career will flourish–enforce a system or boundaries with your time and resources. And if you don’t, you may end up ill and miserable. Take good care of your mental and physical well-being. Being in the same boat as someone is important; things will be difficult if this does not apply in your love life.
Water Signs
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
Santiago highlights that Mars retrograde early in the year could stir up tension for many signs. For example, Cancers may need to let go of old habits or relationships to make room for growth. Think of it as clearing clutter—both emotional and literal—to welcome new opportunities.
Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)
Scorpios will experience confusion and conflicts at the beginning of this year but believe that everything happens with reason. With that mindset, you will overcome the challenges you will face. If you have a relative or friend from abroad, you might find luck with them. Also, this year is a great time to enroll in a new course, acquiring new skills. If you desire to have a more stable love life, you must control your emotions and urges. 2025 might also be a great year to reflect on your love life.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
2025 will mark a change in your life. Deal with your emotional problems before they become too complicated, otherwise they will lead to mental instability. You must communicate your feelings in a healthy tone and move forward. You can be fortunate in terms of children and creative endeavors. Take good care of your health by paying particular attention to your internal organs.
