Ranking 2025 for All 12 Zodiac Signs
On today's special episode before the New Year, Evan Nathaniel Grim ranks the year ahead from most challenging to least challenging across the zodiac signs. This is a thought experiment meant to help all 12 signs prepare for a fantastic year, so don't fret if many of your placements are in some of the signs ranked lower, and also it's not a guarantee the year will be easy breezy if you have most of your placements in the upper echelons of the ranking.
How do you feel about my 2025 ranking?
Hey, there, it's Evan Nathaniel Grimm, and welcome to another episode of Astrology Unbound, and today we have a very special episode. We are ranking 2025 for each sign. We will be going in order from most challenging to least challenging year ahead, according to each sign. Now, this is purely a thought experiment. This is an exercise in mapping out the transits and asking the question what if someone with this sign did absolutely nothing, you know, to either help themselves or hurt themselves, with these transits coming up? Like what would be the outcome? Now, this is not meant to be fatalistic or to tell you exactly what your destiny is going to be. This episode is broadly seeking to, you know, do a fun ranking, and all in the spirit of giving the signs guidance, you know, for again maximizing the opportunities. So if you, you know, happen to be one of the signs that potentially is having a more challenging year, it's not that you are again destined to have that, but I do think it's interesting to look at, you know, which signs are benefiting the most from the transits in the year ahead, and I would kind of think about it more that way, right? So you know, the 12th ranking sign in this exercise can still have a great year. It's just that they might have to just relative to that sign at least, they might have to put in a little bit more effort or be a little bit more clever in, you know, kind of having that sort of like easy breezy, you know effortless year. But you know, just before I get into all of this, you know if you want to get way, way more details on 2025, specific to every new and full moon, retrogrades and so on, you should definitely download my 2025 forecast. I'm assuming most of you already have and I really do appreciate those of you who have downloaded them. And you know you are also benefiting enormously from that, just by having a perspective, an outsider's perspective, on your year. And I really do believe that with those videos, you can basically see when certain themes will come up and you can plan accordingly so that your 2025 is even better than it already would be. So I think that in this age of social media, it's easy to cast astrology as this thing that sparks maybe fear or stress, but you know there's a way in which we can look towards the future, purely to prepare. It doesn't have to be a source of anxiety at all. So again, even with this show today again.
Speaker 1:Number one this is a fun exercise, this is a thought experiment, and this is only speaking to the theoretical. What is this sort of sign or area of the zodiac experiencing relative to where the planets are and the motion of the planets? It is not a determination of your entire birth chart. You know a determination of your entire birth chart. So kind of like, take each sign that I go through today and apply it to your chart. So let's say you had, like, gemini, rising Pisces, moon, taurus, sun or something you know. Those signs are all going to fall in different spots in this ranking. So you could say, oh well, you know, my rising sign or my moon sign or my sun sign is, you know, getting a lot of points here, but the other one is not getting as many.
Speaker 1:So think about it like you're just, you know, dialing the knobs around a little bit, making some tweaks and setting the mix perfectly so that the song sounds amazing next year. Setting the mix perfectly so that the song sounds amazing next year, uh. So yeah, let's, uh, let's just, you know, go right into it and, um, again, we're starting off, we're going from 12 to one, we're going in order from you know you could say, again, most challenging to least challenging. Or you could say, uh, 12th, most beneficial to first, you know, most beneficial overall. 12th, most beneficial to first, most beneficial overall. So you could kind of think about it as like a glass half full, glass half empty kind of perspective, like either one honestly would work, so apply your own sort of disposition to it. So we're going to start off with, again, number 12. And I think that, overall, you know, aries is going to have a year that requires them to, I think, be very open to, I just think, like new, entirely new kind of blueprints for their life, because Saturn and Neptune are going to start to enter the sign of Aries in the you know sort of well, they will both be in Aries at the same time in May of 2025.
Speaker 1:And you know the Saturn-Neptune conjunction is very profound and complex to explain and I think I do a great job of explaining it again in those 2025 horoscopes which are on my website and available for download. But you know, broadly speaking, you think about Saturn as your you know, social identity, your structures, the authorities that you look up to. It's an area where you're experiencing potential stability, long-term sort of success, but also a lot of pressure from the outside, potential self-consciousness and even like feelings of isolation. And when it meets up with Neptune, neptune can sort of create this. You know, it's this diffuse energy. It's very at times confusing or aimless and it's wandering. You know it's really wandering beyond the confines of the ego and it is trying to find it's really wandering beyond the confines of the ego and it is trying to find solace in a higher power or, you know, comfort in some kind of like universal feeling or energy, no-transcript governments. I mean so at a social, like a societal level. I mean it's a very pivotal transit.
Speaker 1:When an individual experiences this type of transit in their sign, you know it can be again this feeling of kind of being on, being in a canoe and suddenly you can't see the shoreline anymore and you're like, well, you know, I, I know it's, I think this canoe is going to take me somewhere great. But like right now, in that sort of interregnum where I can't see either shoreline, it's a little confusing and even a little bit unnerving. But I'm not saying that that's going to be all Aries experience next year. I mean, you know, these two planets are merely peeking into Aries to the first degree and then going backwards into Pisces and retrograding I mean, and then going, you know, back into Aries, in, you know, february 2026, forming a conjunction at that time. So you know, aries, this is part of a longer journey.
Speaker 1:By the way, like I said, it goes into 2026, that conjunction, but you know it would be sort of you know it'd be naive to say that that's not some like a pretty monumental transit that begs for a lot of soul searching. So, aries, I mean that conjunction will, I think, very much define the transition you're going through. I mean, if you're an Aries who is not, you know, feeling like you've found your calling yet, then I think you should embrace this transit. I do think that it can really help you again, kind of lift above your ego, and even if you're not an ego-driven Aries, you know you can still see this. As you know, it is still an opportunity, though, to kind of like look at something from a bird's eye view and connect many different dots and maybe feel compelled to help in a humanitarian capacity or to give or serve. So again, I'm not even saying it's a bad year for you, but again, again, in the spirit of the ranking, I really did feel like you know, you probably are, again, just from the perspective of this sign.
Speaker 1:So like all Aries are going to have planets and other signs, by the way. So, again, if you're listening to this and you're an Aries rising or just an Aries sun or just an Aries moon or something like, don't worry about it. It's not a harbinger of bad things. It's just that you're navigating so many complexities at the same time and there will be moments where you basically have to surrender some type of structure in your life and just kind of like, operate on some semblance of faith, and I don't think that's a bad thing, because that is kind of an invisible bridge to, again, something amazing. It's not a bridge to nowhere. Basically, it's just an invisible bridge that you have to maybe throw some rocks on to find and then you walk across, just like Indiana Jones did to find, and then you walk across, just like Indiana Jones did.
Speaker 1:So there's obviously many other transits in 2025 that can be very positive. I mean, we have a lot of planets going into the fire and air signs and you know those two elements are obviously, you know they are compatible. They're in the same sort of polarity as your sign. So or sorry, you are a fire element, so the other fire and air signs are in the same polarity. So fire and air signs are masculine yang energies. Earth and water are feminine yin energies. So the fact that pretty much with the exception of Jupiter, all the social and outer planets are going to be in fire and air signs next year, I mean that is very flowing. So it's like the energy is like flowing very well. For you. It's almost like the circulation, the energetic circulation is healthy.
Speaker 1:It's just that that Saturn-Neptune conjunction is very soul-searching-esque. And then we have the North Node in the 12th, which you know is also pushing you to explore. You know, these sort of corners of your spirituality that I'm sure you've explored most of already, with Neptune being in your 12th recently in the last decade and a half. But definitely is a year where it's almost like you've been asking for a concrete answer to something and it's not giving you the concrete answer. Or maybe you've been told that you were going to get a concrete answer and then you didn't and then you don't. But the great thing about next year is that Uranus is in your third house eventually, or in the third sign relative to your sign. That is definitely going to spark ingenuity and really fresh ideas, and you will be very experimental, especially as a writer or communicator, you know, and so on. So again, it's not a bad year.
Speaker 1:I just think that that Saturn-Neptune alignment that's starting to form in your sign typically, I would imagine, would breed a little bit of confusion. But if you're an Aries, I think who has been dealing with any repetitive, compulsive, addictive habits? I guess that would be if you focus on overcoming that aspect of life where you live a cleaner lifestyle and you purge anything that's been causing poor health or it's been blocking you from well-being in any sense of that word, then this would be a great year to focus on, I don't know, sobriety or just reading more spiritual texts and kind of operating in this sort of contemplative state. I think that would be wonderful. And with Jupiter in the fourth, eventually, that does bode well for any kind of like home or property related sales or investments or decisions. So anyways, there's a lot more to discuss with any of these signs, but I'll just leave it at that. So for Aries, you know it's kind of like there's an ego death coming, but I think it can actually help you dissolve boundaries between yourself and a higher power and it's like, okay, maybe the career of your dreams, uh, awaits after that.
Speaker 1:So, uh, let's go into the 11th sign in this ranking. And again, this is purely a uh, again a sort of a, a thought, a sort of a thought starter and a thought experiment. So don't fret if your sign is kind of in the first few here. So, virgos, virgos this is a year that can kind of go one of two ways. If I'm just being simplistic about it, I mean, much of your year is, if I'm just being simplistic about it, I mean much of your year is defined by the first few months.
Speaker 1:Actually, because you will have Venus in Pisces, retrograding back into Pisces, which is really in your seventh house, or in the opposite sign to your sign, and I think the Venus-Saturn conjunction that is, you know, eventually happening in 2025, which, again, you can sort of map this out through my 2025 horoscopes I think that that conjunction could be amazing for some of you. So, if you like this, this is what makes these rankings very difficult and very fluid. I think a lot of astrologers would have slightly different rankings, but I feel like, with Virgos, it's just hard for me to automatically put you much higher than this because Saturn is playing such a strong role for you, just like it is for Aries, and like Saturn basically gives off this impression of like nothing is given purely, it's like earned. So, again, like some Aries, you know, maybe we'll find this dream job next year. Some Virgos, with Saturn in the seventh, will really stabilize around their ideal partnership. I mean some Virgos. Virgos will, you know, get married or propose or, you know, just seal that sort of contract with somebody else in some way, even if it's like a business partner or, you know, even if it's just like stabilizing around a best friendship or whatnot. This can all happen. But at the same time, because Venus is retrograding in your seventh house and forming an alignment with Saturn, it does show that there are trials and tribulations where, you know, your closest relationships are going to be tested immensely. And so you know the only way that, like I mean, the best relationships have been battle-tested right, the best relationships are bendable but not breakable. They have resilience. So think about this year of 2025 as a year where your relationships are getting stronger and they are, you know, again achieving this sort of resiliency. So that's the positive way to think about it, you know, and again, if we're just talking about a baseline experience for a Virgo, let's say, who decided? I don't want to really try to do anything about any of these transits, I just want them to happen and play out.
Speaker 1:You know you might feel very isolated from some people. I mean, you know Saturn in the seventh still with Neptune in the seventh, all hitting the aneretic degree. I mean that definitely is showing that there are some delusions that are being busted down. There are some relationships that are being demystified, losing their shine even, and some Virgos again like they might spend the first few months of 2025 feeling a little disconnected from people, and like they might take on this sort of lone wolf archetype, even if they're typically social. No-transcript the specific timing is in those videos, but you know there is a chance that I mean you do have the best chance out of all the signs of, like you know, separating from a partner, though, or watching a relationship end. You know splitting up, getting divorced, like it's sort of all dependent on your choices, right? So it's just that this theme is playing out, but there's a spread of possibilities Now.
Speaker 1:The South Node is in your sign in 2025, which means you are kind of having to give some things up in order to get somewhere in those relationships with the North Node in the 7th. Uranus, going into the 10th definitely helps you carve out a more experimental career path and you know, jupiter in the 11th, I think, can be nice in the second half of the year for your social life. But you know, pluto in the sixth, you know that's a little bit bizarre. I mean, you know Pluto in the sixth, it can transform your, you know, perspective on health, I guess, and you know it can give you a more, I don't know like a deeper perspective on health and like you know, certain things you're experiencing. It can also, you know, sort of reveal to you that you know there's an energetic component to wellbeing or a psychic or psychological component or something. But, um, yeah, I. So I think for Virgos, again, it's pretty high stakes as a year. So I think that your, um, your quality, the quality of your 2025 really does depend on the quality of your relationships, you know.
Speaker 1:And if you're a Virgo, who's like, well, I don't know what relationships you're talking about, evan, I'm single, I don't even have friends. I live, you know, just in the internet age where I just interface with the internet, like, okay, that's Saturn in your seventh house right now. You know like some Virgos might feel completely alone, but, like my advice there would be to connect with people, you know, like, don't shy away from reaching out to someone, texting them, checking in on them. Like you know, just like, get the ball rolling and get comfortable again with socializing. I know that a lot of Virgos or, sorry, not Virgos everyone I know a lot of people you know are still sort of awkwardly, uh, you know, regaining their footing after the pandemic, like they're not sure exactly how to socialize, you know. But, um, I think Virgos especially really have to connect with others. So, again, like beautiful year for you, insofar as you can, um, you know, but I think Virgos especially really have to connect with others. So, again, like beautiful year for you, insofar as you can, you know, really define your friendships, your romantic relationships and even business partnerships.
Speaker 1:So number 10, this was a it's kind of a tough one actually, because I was kind of like thinking, well, maybe this should actually be like seven or something, but I think it really depends on what kind of leo you are. So, leo, I'm giving you the 10th spot here. Um, you know on the on the one hand. So what? Why was I tempted to to rank leo higher? Um well, uranus is going into the 11th house next year at some point, and in the summertime, or I should say July. But Uranus in the 11th and I've experienced Uranus in the 11th as a cancer rising the last seven years or so Uranus in the 11th is very positive overall.
Speaker 1:I mean, this is where Uranus is in sort of its you know, accidental dignity. You know it is in the house that is associated with Aquarius and Uranus rules Aquarius. So you know it's sort of supercharging your social life, your social media life If you wanted to get into politics or something that would be great life, your social media life, if you wanted to get into politics or something that would be great. You can also usher in this very experimental, fast-paced social yeah, again, social life, but like you could make a lot of new friends or you could really get into some fun communities. So like, if you're that type of Leo, if you're the type of Leo who's like, looking for and starving for friendship and connection, and community like this can really help you break through into that realm, into that life experience. But you know, in a lot of other ways I feel like there's some. I mean, there's still some other helpful transits, but, like the North Node is in the eighth, saturn and Neptune are finishing transits in your eighth house.
Speaker 1:I do think a lot of Leos are still trying to perfect their lifestyle and really get away from some of their addictive habits, which I've talked about with Aries already. But, like Leo and Aries both, I think, are still trying to prune or I don't know sort of I don't know refine sort of their habits. I think a lot of Leos, more than any other sign recently, have had to give up certain habits, like I know more Leos than any other sign who have gotten sober since Saturn went into their eighth house. But I think, in general, a lot of Leos are sacrificing various sort of distractions or, let's say, coping mechanisms. They have sacrificed these things in order to face their own demons or face their own darkness, or face the darkness in others, or face the darkness in others, and you know it almost signifies a complete rebirth. I mean, a lot of Leos are digging through shadow material that they either have never dug through before or excavated, or they're just starting to, and now, with the North Node in the 8th in 2025, I mean that could also be heralding a great year for you insofar as it does boost potentially investments stocks you know there's all kinds of interesting payouts that you could have like through again these stocks, or in rare cases like an inheritance or something, but passive income is very possible there or just like merging your assets with a partner Now with Pluto in the seventh, even more extensively than last year.
Speaker 1:You know your relationships can really intensify right, but that intensity is not always welcome. I mean it can be sort of a turbulent affair. I mean not literally like a romantic affair, but like you know, relationships can be rocky with Pluto in the seventh where you hyper fixate on someone, you obsess over them or you fall prey to jealousy or, yeah, I mean again feelings of possessiveness, like you feel like you really want someone and then you get sort of scorned. I mean that is a you know it's a tough transit. I mean again Cancer Rising.
Speaker 1:I just had Pluto in my seventh for 16 years and you know, right when Pluto went into my seventh way back when it was like it sort of kicked off with a series of events where I had a crush on somebody and you know it turned out they had a crush on one of my good friends instead and I was like trying to navigate that but, like, at the time I didn't understand astrology, I wasn't tracking it, but in retrospect it was like interesting how that was sort of like the kickstart to this entire, that entire Pluto seventh house transit for me, which was really teaching me how to detach from those types, how to um detach from, uh, those types of scenarios or outcomes, detach from, like needing a certain outcome and feeling, you know, completely at peace with the idea that, like, hey, like sometimes you're going to end up in a situation where you know, uh, someone that you like is not going to like you back or they'll like someone else, someone you know or you know know some. There will be some kind of relationship with Pluto in the seventh that just triggers something in your subconscious and it makes you feel you know, abandoned or neglected or it just kind of like, gets your weak spots right. So I mean, with Leo, some of you may have already experienced something like that and for some people maybe it was like a betrayal or, you know, actually an affair or cheating or something. You know some Leos I'm not saying all Leos are going to get cheated on or something right now. But I'm just saying, leos, you know, since Pluto went into your seventh in March of 2023, you probably had some, you know, periods of time where you've been completely into somebody and then not at all, or vice versa, they've been completely into you and then not at all, or there's been secrecy in the relationship. So Pluto and the 7th is very complex and it lasts for a long time. So Pluto's in your 7th house until 2044.
Speaker 1:Technically. Now, this doesn't mean that you're always going to feel this energy, but, you know, in 2025 some of those themes might come up. It depends on exactly when Pluto hits your descendant or opposes your son or something like that. But yeah, again, I like the social aspect and again, pluto can actually show you a relationship that you know. It can bring someone into your life who's very transformative, you know, and it's like a really deep relationship, um, and it's um sort of a relationship that is unforgettable and and again, all-consuming. Not in a bad way per se. I mean, sometimes the obsessiveness again obviously gets, goes overboard, but in other cases I think it's like totally, you know, just again, it's like it's the depth that you need, maybe with somebody to, you know, really discover something about yourself. You know that was once hidden. You also will have Jupiter in the 12th which, can you know, could sort of expand a spiritual sensibility at times, sort of expand a spiritual sensibility at times, although it can also kind of get you a little bit too far inside your own head or something.
Speaker 1:Now we go to number nine, let's go to the ninth sign, which is Scorpio, and you know Scorpio, again as a fixed sign, complex year, just because Pluto is in one of your angular houses, so Pluto is in the fourth house this year. That, I think, is really profound and profoundly revealing when it comes to your family, your ancestry. Some of you might discover some kind of intuitive things about your ancestors or your family, some kind of intuitive things about your ancestors or your family. Others will maybe invest in or buy or sell property. Others will be discussing inheritances within their family. So again, it's a very, very complicated potential sort of spectrum of manifestations.
Speaker 1:But I think with Scorpios the bright spot is getting the North Node and the Fifth. You know the North Node and the Fifth definitely can help you really discover your true, your truest form of creativity, like a type of creativity that is not, that does not have an agenda. It is like creativity in the flow state and it's a creativity that just like rejuvenates you. So some Scorpios will just have a lot of fun in 2025. Some Scorpios will have children, which is the fifth house, and the north node can be destiny. Saturn in the fifth is helping you potentially, you know, create some well again in the creative sense, like you know, really manifest a creative project that is very impressive and you know it's high value and high quality and it actually helps you cement your reputation in some way. You know we also will have Jupiter in the ninth Not necessarily the flashiest Jupiter transit, but you know it is trining your sign. I mean I think that's pretty good. I mean there's going to be a Jupiter-Venus conjunction in Cancer in August at 14 degrees of Cancer. So if you have any Scorpio placements at 14 degrees, then I mean that would be amazing for you.
Speaker 1:But what I think is challenging about 2025 for you is Saturn and Neptune going into the sixth right. Like that's a lot about health and wellness and I've talked about this many times in other videos, but like a lot of Scorpios have had, you know, health issues the past couple of years, ever since Chiron really went into the sixth. So, since 2018, you've, you know, a lot of Scorpios have either had surgeries or, you know, procedures to try, and, you know, either uncover some mystery health issues or ailments or to repair something, to recover from an injury. But, yeah, a lot of Scorpios have just felt even just like I don't know, chronically ill. I mean it's partly because of Chiron in the sixth, but it is an opportunity, of course, to heal those things. But now we have Saturn and Neptune both going into your sixth at the same time.
Speaker 1:So I mean, like 2025 and 2026, there's sort of a sense of urgency there to kind of get the health things like in order. Like there is, you know again, I'm not trying to instill fear, I'm just trying to help, you know again, guide people and so that there's less surprises and that they can kind of, you know again, actualize the better version of these things. But Saturn and Neptune in the sixth is showing that, you know, hey, like there's a lot of effort that's going to have to sort of be placed into your health, your routines, your lifestyle, and if you do that, it's like you can really, you know, chisel, your, you know well, you can really get chiseled literally, or you can just again like, really refine your health and really attain that sense of well-being, you know, and with Uranus leaving your seventh house, I think that's kind of nice. That should help you stabilize relationships that have been very turbulent or just upside down, since Uranus went into Taurus, also in 2018. So Uranus in the eighth is kind of genius in a way. I mean, it could help you really break new ground in some kind of psychological or subconscious sort of profession or subject matter, and it could help you channel even more effectively, and it could help you channel even more effectively. So yeah, scorpios, I think you can have a pretty great year if you use Pluto in the fourth to either you know again do something financially beneficial with your property, you know to master your health with Saturn and Neptune in the sixth, and to rediscover creativity with the North and then the Fifth. But, that being said, again, a lot of you are also going to be, you know, having to navigate some or overcome some hurdles with some of those and then some of those areas. So now we're going to move on to Libras. Move on to Libras.
Speaker 1:Libra, you know, this is definitely a year that you know, sort of like I just talked about with Scorpios. I mean, it is going to test you when it comes to health and wellness. It's going to be asking you to master those things. But I think you've already, you know you've already bared the brunt of that. You know, like, saturn and Neptune have been in your sixth, you know, for some time now, with Saturn being there since March of 2023, neptune since 2011. You know, I think that for you, you're a little bit more familiar with, like, what needs to change health-wise or how you can continue to master it, with what needs to change health-wise or how you can continue to master it, and the North Node in the sixth could show you and help reveal some of those ideal tactics for living a healthy life. But the reason I gave you this ranking and I placed you here is not necessarily because of that.
Speaker 1:I think the upside next year is twofold it's Pluto in the fifth, like just being like fully in the fifth, and the fact that you're an air sign, honestly, because, well, so, first of all, pluto in the fifth is going to continue to help you, I think, you know, really deepen your creativity, access to your creativity, to your imagination. It's going to really intensify your romantic life if you want it to. So you could have, I mean, in some ways, with Pluto again, it's obsession, but you know, you could have these obsessive experiences where you just can't stop thinking about someone. You're almost lusting after them. You want to just keep seeing them casually.
Speaker 1:The thing is Saturn and Neptune are going to enter your seventh house next year, so you could look at it one of two ways. You could either be, you could look at it one of two ways you could either be really drawn to somebody in a more of a sort of lustful way, but then, with Saturn in the seventh, you're feeling also an obligation to settle or not settle but be with someone long term. Or you could look at it as like, hey, well, maybe I can find the person who is both, you know, kind of tantalizing and dependable, like you know, maybe you could find that relationship that has the consistent spark and sense of liveliness, you know. But also there's a grand air trine coming in 2025. Again, get the actual dates for that through my horoscope videos. But you know, we have a nice grand air trine with Mars and Libra, uranus and Gemini, pluto and Aquarius at some point in the year and that will be, I think, a really powerful time for you to unlock, you know well, I mean to unlock that air energy right, like that element. I mean all of the air signs have an opportunity with that grand air trine. But yeah, I think, for Libras, once Mars enters your sign and forms that grand air trine, like you are really feeling confident. I think I mean you could feel like I don't know with you know Uranus in the ninth, like, oh, you know, maybe you feel like you can travel somewhere really exciting with your, you know, with all of that going on. Or again, you can feel confident enough and assertive enough to just like find that relationship that is really enticing. And then you get Jupiter in the 10th eventually, which you know can absolutely lead to luck or abundance in your professional life and in your reputation. But, that being said, saturn and Neptune are in the seventh next year at one point. So you know you are going to have to take relationships seriously. Some of you might be learning really tough lessons with somebody else. But again, when you factor in all the other transits, I did feel like you were solidly sort of in the middle third of this ranking.
Speaker 1:So now we go to the seventh sign, and that's Taurus. So another Venus ruled sign. Now I do want to, just speaking of that, I mean, you know, libras, you will be affected by Venus retrograde. I mean that's a big deal. So with the Venus retrograde, you know, in March and April, it will implicate you, just again because you are ruled by Venus, but it doesn't necessarily mean that it will be the worst. I mean it will retrograde in your seventh house though. So I mean, again, that's why I can't really put Libra like in the top five or anything like that, because I think that, like Venus retrograde in the seventh, in areas, especially in a, you know, in its detriment, I mean that definitely could slow down a relationship, create some challenges in it. You may, you might just slow down and reflect on it and ask yourself why am I with this person? So, again, there's trials and tribulations in the relationship department. But, again, if you want those dates, definitely get the videos. So anyway.
Speaker 1:So, taurus, I think that the year for you is pretty solid for a number of reasons. I like the fact that Jupiter is going to station direct in your second house eventually, which can help you attract more money, more possessions. It can help you, you know, expand your sense of self-worth, and then it will eventually go into your third house, which might help you with any kind of educational pursuits. You could have a lot of really fun trips, road trips. Some of you, yeah, might do something big with, like, a media project or a publishing project or a writing-related thing.
Speaker 1:I do like the fact that Uranus is leaving your sign. That actually might be the number one reason I elevated you in the ranking, beyond what I think some astrologers would give you. I think that that's really it's key. I mean, because Uranus is fallen in Taurus, it's not thriving in that sign. So, with Uranus in Taurus since 2018, your life has been stop and go. It's been jolted forward. Suddenly there's been a quantum leap, only for you to kind of like hit a ceiling with something, or to not even hit a ceiling but like to just have something that you've delicately crafted just thrown upside down, and so there's just been a lot of random changes that you've had to process right and in all areas relationship, career and so on.
Speaker 1:Now, as an earth sign, right, Like a lot of these planets are going into fire and air signs next year. So those elements are in a masculine polarity and Taurus is in the feminine polarity, so a lot of these planets will occupy houses that don't connect very well to your sign. So it's not the most coherent year, to be honest, again speaking in a vacuum, but it's not necessarily the most coherent year. But I just have to give you a lot of points for the fact that Uranus is starting to leave your sign. It will go back into Taurus, though technically. So I'm not going to like. That's why, again, I don't think it would be, it would not make sense to me to put you in the top sort of half of the Zodiac for this year.
Speaker 1:But again, let's give you a good amount of points for Uranus leaving Taurus, briefly, although, when it goes back to the 29th degree all the way through, like you know, early 2026, just ask Capricorns what it was like for Pluto going back and forth. I mean it could definitely still create some of that inconsistency and that disruption, but I think you'll still feel the relief, temporarily even, of Uranus and Gemini. And when it goes into the second house, I mean you know, ask Aries what it's been like in Taurus in the second house. I mean it has created some very random situations with like salary and income. The income has been less consistent in theory, but Uranus and Gemini, I think, really do well, can help you find just a, you know, more innovative way to make money. You could make a lot of money very suddenly and yeah, and then the North Node and the 11th, I think, can really help you find a friend group that's really solid and can help you make all kinds of inroads in communities, maybe even on social media. You could do something big.
Speaker 1:But I think that, like as I described it on an Instagram story, taurus is finding their tribe quote unquote in 2025. And with Pluto in the 10th, it's not necessarily the easiest. I mean, it is creating these sort of epic power struggles with authority figures, but it's also helping you. It's giving you the keys to transforming through your career. Just that transit as a reason to put Taurus is more towards like the 10th or the 11th spot, but it's not like fully diving into your 12th house yet. But, like Saturn and Neptune in the 12th, is a call to well, I mean, discover new sort of spiritual realm, almost for yourself, I mean, and to kind of find meaning in some sort of higher power. But it is also calling you to you know, really focus on mastering, like your sleep, your sleep cycle, to also still, as you're doing this spiritual exploration, to stay grounded in who you are so you don't lose yourself completely in the process.
Speaker 1:So now I'm going to jump into the sixth sign of Pisces. So yeah, pisces, this is a very, very complicated year for you, and the reason I'm giving you six is because you have the North Node in your sign. Now, the North Node doesn't inherently mean good, by the way. It just means that it's sort of necessary events that are destined and fated, that propel you towards your destiny, and Saturn's in your sign still, so you are having to make a lot of serious, long-term sort of decisions about your life, like what kind of parent do you want to be? What job do you want to have? Where do you want to live?
Speaker 1:Pisces are not necessarily asking fun questions lately, since March of 2023 especially, but these are questions that everybody has to answer at some point every so often, every few years or decades, to basically set their course, because everybody, I think, wants some kind of well foundation to build on. And so, pisces, right now you are starting to build that foundation, and I think you have been building it for a while, but like you're really finishing the construction of that foundation in 2025, as the North Node, you know, veers into your sign and, just like Virgos, you will have the eclipses in your sign in 2025. So Virgos and Pisces will experience these pivotal moments that do help them out. But the reason Virgo was 11th on this ranking is because they have the South Node in their sign. The South Node is a lot more difficult. I think it's asking you to release things. It's asking you to let go of things that you've already mastered and you're like well, but I want to do that trick. I've always done that trick and the South Node is saying, well, don't be a one-trick pony Like, don't keep trying that. You be a one-trick pony Like. Don't keep trying that, you know, take the alternative route, no matter how frustrating or uncomfortable it is.
Speaker 1:So, pisces, you're benefiting, I think, from the North Node and growing through that, jupiter will go into your fifth house. I love that. I mean, if you're a Pisces who wants to have children or, you know, maybe some Pisces are about to give birth or have more children I mean this is great and the Jupiter-Venus conjunction in August, especially, is very fortuitous for this topic. I mean, pisces, you know, around August. I mean, if you have children, you know you will have like just a really positive. You're entering a positive era with your family and I think that's great.
Speaker 1:Others are making these incredible just creative. Yeah, these creative works. So if you're a creative Pisces which you probably are, many Pisces are you will find more success. I mean, pisces will find more success with their creative efforts, and Uranus going into the fourth will create a bit of a unique communal or community lot of people at your house, but some people will experience a little bit, well, maybe a lot of instability within their home, or it will just be a busy place of, you know, constant learning. I don't think there's anything wrong with that. You to you know, really dig deep into either your past lives, your past karma and you know to find your like to basically go through your transformation journey in that spiritual sort of realm and by accessing your spiritual gifts. So now we're going to go to the fifth sign and that would be Sagittarius.
Speaker 1:Sagittarius, you are in a pretty solid position in 2025, despite the fact that you're a mutable sign, and I say that because Saturn is in Pisces for much of the year still and if you talk to pretty much any mutable signs. They've gone through a very difficult time lately Because Saturn again has been squaring or conjunct or opposite their sign. So yeah, it's not been easy. And I would just say, for Sagittarius, the bright spot is Jupiter going into your eighth house, along with Venus. That could really really help you out, because a lot of Sagittarius's have been feeling very stifled, especially by their families or within their homes.
Speaker 1:So they felt like there's this unfair amount of responsibility and weight on their shoulders when it comes to their family. Like maybe you're a Sag who's been having to drive all over town to like help your parents and then help your siblings, and like, even though, or your aunt or someone, and even though that might bring you joy, to be helpful to someone, you might feel at times as though you're overextending yourself and you're doing so much for your family that you're asking yourself, well, what is it, my? Why isn't my sister or my brother helping, or why isn't so-and-so helping? So a lot of Sages have had to kind of like almost break their backs for their family, um, or they've, you know, uh, moved somewhere and then regretted it and then moved back somewhere and then moved somewhere else. Or maybe their family members have moved and asked them to help. I mean, there's a lot of different scenarios, obviously, but I think many Sagittarius have felt this again weight of responsibility in these domains of home and family.
Speaker 1:Well, now the North Node is going into the fourth of home and family. Well, now the North Node is going into the 4th. So I think the North Node will, in the 4th, help you either find a better home for yourself that you can settle into long-term. It will maybe bring you the help and assistance that you need to make your family life less of a pain or a struggle. Again, jupiter in the 8, eighth, coming up, will absolutely help you either bank off of an investment, maybe a stock, or maybe some of you are getting an inheritance. I mean even obviously that would be under tragic circumstances, but I'm just saying some of you will be generating quite a bit of like passive income. And before that, jupiter is in your seventh house still, which can help you, you know, forge better connections with people.
Speaker 1:And then Uranus goes into the seventh, which isn't exactly stable, but I still think it's electrifying and it can help you, you know, just if you've had struggles with relationships for many years or for your whole life. I mean Uranus and Gemini could help you, I don't know just like, socialize with more people and find connections that you felt maybe like you'd been missing your whole life. And then, when Saturn and Neptune go into the fifth in Aries, that's not necessarily a bad thing it can sometimes take the fun out of creativity, for sure, but it is also an opportunity to be really ambitious about what you're creating and what you're doing creatively. So, yeah, now let's go to the fourth sign in this ranking, which is Aquarius, and I'm noticing, as I'm doing this, that a lot of these signs towards the top of the list are in a similar band of the zodiac, right? So I don't know, I think that's just interesting. But anyways, aquarius, remember you are an air sign. I talked about Libra. Like an air sign pretty much needs to be at least in the top eight in 2025, in my opinion, now again, the reason is because we're getting this sort of influx of fire and air energy, but also we are experiencing this really powerful grand air trine at some point in the year. Again, download the videos to kind of understand the timing of that. But you know, aquariuses, some of you are not going to feel like you're having a top four year, but that's again if you decide to do nothing about your year.
Speaker 1:Pluto is in your sign. So, like, in theory, pluto being in your sign is teaching you a lot about the cycles of life, just like Capricorns have had to experience for the past 16 years. So, like Pluto is a very humbling energy. I mean it teaches you that we can't have life without death, we can't have light without the dark, you can't have Harry Potter without Lord Voldemort. So Pluto I mean and honestly I've had a direct experience with Pluto recently.
Speaker 1:Ever since Pluto has been on my north node, I've had to really process death in different contexts, because you know it shows you that life is part of this larger cycle right of you know opposing forces that are constantly, you know, moving back and forth. It's like this interplay. I'm not saying that Aquariuses are all passing away or something. By the way, I'm not trying to instill fear, but we have to be honest about what Pluto is. It does teach you these really profound lessons about the cycle of life and where life fits into that, and by understanding how these opposing forces consistently reconcile and balance themselves out, it can help you like kind of define what life is and what life is all about. It can help you and help you cherish it and live every day as if it's your last.
Speaker 1:You know, and that's what Scorpios do. I mean, scorpios just live that way. So you know, I'm Scorpio, sun, moon and Pluto and Venus, and it's like my whole life. I've pretty much lived as if every day is my last. And you know, I think that while that can be sort of unnecessarily melodramatic or tragic, it's also really life-affirming. There's a carpe diem associated with that Because, remember, scorpio is ruled by Mars, you know, just like Aries.
Speaker 1:So both of those signs are action-oriented, but for different reasons. I think Scorpios have that sort of urgency of like well, you know, always being on edge, and Aries are always pissed off. But you know, pluto, being an Aquarius again can be very, very deep in that way and harrowing, but at the same time Aquarius is, you are at the forefront of societal change because of this, and Uranus is going to go into your fifth house after Jupiter is in your fifth house already, and that is just epically creative, experimental. It is again genius in a way, and it's really supporting your creativity and helping you stand out. And with Pluto in your sign, you are really stepping up and standing up for the underdog, or spearheading new innovations, innovative techniques. And Jupiter in the fifth can really expand your family, help you, maybe you'll have a child or something. And then Jupiter in the sixth probably the weakest beneficial transit for you in 2025, though, but I do like the North Node and the Second helping you, I think, deploy your creativity more effectively in your job.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I just think you are really just front and center in society in a lot of ways, like you are one of the signs that's really driving change, and so I think there's a solidarity to that. There's a feeling in 2025 of, like you are changing along with everybody else. So I don't think Aquariuses are going to be feeling lonely or isolated. I mean, obviously it depends on your chart If you have like Saturn in your seventh house, like me. I mean, obviously it depends on your chart If you have like Saturn in your seventh house, like me. I mean you might feel like a lone wolf anyways throughout your life, but I think Pluto in your first is very profound and you know, again, it's going to give you a sense of courage and assuredness that the changes you're making in your own life are kind of mirroring the changes that society is going through. So I have to just give you a lot of points for that and the fact that Uranus has entered your fifth house and trying your sign, I mean I just think there's a lot of exciting changes that you are again propelling and it's not going to be no one's going to have a perfect year. I mean, saturn in the second can still show that there's like a long road maybe to getting the salary you want, or just a lot of work, you know, that needs to be put in to actually get that salary. It doesn't mean you can't get there, but it does take effort.
Speaker 1:Now let's go to the third sign, capricorn, and I know that Capricorns have suffered for a long time. I can relate to that. I have Saturn in Capricorn, I have Neptune and Uranus in Capricorn and I'm a Cancer rising. So Pluto and Capricorn definitely was putting a lot of pressure on my chart and even it was on my progressed North Node. My progressed North Node was in Capricorn, since I was, like I don't know, five years old or something, or two years old, I guess. So, yeah, I mean I just feel like with Capricorn, you know you are getting a lot of points just by virtue of the fact that Pluto is not in your sign anymore. And again, I know I made videos in 2023 about hey, capricorn's is going to get better for you.
Speaker 1:But like, yeah, obviously there was still some residual. You know, there were still some residual energies that had to be, like, melted away or recycled or transformed. With Pluto retrograding back into Capricorn, there were some foundations that had to be decimated and crumbled to the ground, just so that you could learn the lesson, just so that you could be more savvy in building a true foundation as Pluto leaves Capricorn. So now it's like you're in a position where you know exactly the type of foundation you want to build after having it wrecked so many times by Pluto, and so you know again. There's a wisdom that comes with that and there's an acceptance of the sort of metaphorical death and rebirth process in life. You've had to start over many times. You've also experienced the life at its extreme margins. Everything was extreme, everything was brought to the beyond. Well, everything was pushed beyond your threshold, whether it was a job or relationship or work. I think a lot of you were overworked at that time of the last 16 years, I mean, and now Pluto in the second is helping you maybe transform your values or even, like you know, make more money, attract more wealth through a marriage or passive income, even though, like, technically, it's in your second house, pluto still relates to those things, which is why I mentioned it.
Speaker 1:And then Jupiter goes into your seventh. So, you know, relationships especially can become more positive, more expansive. The relationships in your life will help you open your mind to greater possibilities for yourself. They will be a source of optimism and if you're a Capricorn who's doing anything writing-related or media-related, you can have a lot of breakthroughs there, or in your educational life or your teaching sort of endeavors. You will have Saturn in the fourth which might create some. You know, I don't know like Saturn in the fourth could create some challenges in the family, could also just motivate you to, like, settle into a long-term property. But if you are a Capricorn who has any family members who have been struggling with health, I mean maybe that's just gonna continue to be a theme. And then Uranus in the sixth can be a little bit disruptive to your daily lifestyle routines, but it could help you find more experimental ways to, I don't know, get healthy or something.
Speaker 1:But, uh, again, all the details are in the uh, the 2025 horoscopes. So, yeah, it's Capricorns. I mean just congratulations on, you know, getting through and surviving. I mean, I, I don't, um, I don't even mean that in a facetious way. Some Capricorns did not make it. I mean a lot of Capricorns did not make it through that Pluto transit. You know I, yeah, I know that, you know directly. So, yeah, it's, it was a really dark time for Capricorns and now that Pluto's out of your sign, I do think, you know, there's a lot more light coming in. So now we go to the second sign, and this one was tough. I mean it could kind of go either way, but at the same time, I kind of feel like, in a way, it's almost obvious that Cancers would have to be second and not first, and I'll explain why when I go to the last sign.
Speaker 1:But Cancers, you know you, you again, have had a rough go with Pluto in the seventh of the last 16 years. I mean your relationships have not been a source of joy, to be honest. I mean a lot of your relationships have been a source of either obsession or anguish, and you know some relationships inspired jealousy. You know some relationships you were kind of like forlorn, you know, and um, I think I I think I said scorned earlier, but I meant forlorn, um but yeah, you were sort of forlorn and just sort of like, you know, dismayed by the outcome of a relationship. Some of you felt betrayed, some of you felt cheated by someone, maybe cheated on by someone, and yeah, you probably found it hard to trust people in the end of all that.
Speaker 1:But now Pluto is going into your eighth. I mean that's a dark place but it is a comfortable place for Pluto and I think that that can help you find more, even more like financial power or success. Some of you would be getting an inheritance at some point with Pluto in the eighth, although it's a long transit depends on all the aspects in your charts. But some of you are also becoming more investing savvy at this time. You are also becoming more investing savvy at this time. And then you know Jupiter going into Cancer and aligning with Venus in your sign is highly positive. You know, like that Jupiter-Venus alignment in August is, I mean, a breakthrough for you and a breakthrough of positive experiences, positive energy abundance, whether that be monetarily, in terms of relationships, reputation, prestige, fame, like it's all sort of lining up there and, like I talked about for Capricorns, I mean if you're working in the media space or on a book, or you know communications projects, podcasts, I mean this is a breakthrough year for you. You could also take some very insightful trips abroad.
Speaker 1:And then we also have Uranus leaving your 11th house, going into the 12th, kind of an abstract transit. But I think that that could help you channel, it could help you get direct access to your past lives. Um, you could have sort of these I don't know lengthy conversations with like a spirit guide. And then Saturn goes into your 10th and Neptune goes into your 10th. I mean definitely creates pressure and challenge in your career, but it can help you find a career that is healing-related, spiritual, in film, maybe in medicine. You know, in theory you could find a career that really drives you Well, it just propels you and motivates you and fuels you. Others will experience some roadblocks though in their career. Some people some cancers and Capricorns, by the way are navigating health challenges in their family or healing within their family.
Speaker 1:But I think that Jupiter-Venus alignment in your sign is really why you are are kind of like you know, being vaulted to the towards the top. You know, and and when I look at 2025, like no sign is having a perfect year, by the way, every sign is having to adjust to these just monumental tectonic shifts, because all these planets are shifting signs, like I mean, if we're being technical about it, right, like I mean, every planet is changing signs, except for Chiron, you know. Obviously the Sun and Moon will change signs, obviously, mercury and Venus and Mars will change signs. Jupiter will obviously change signs, but then again we add in the fact that you know, saturn and all the outer planets as well are also changing signs, and let's just include Pluto and Aquarius as a change. I mean, it went into Aquarius officially in November of this year, but you know, that doesn't mean that we're not still reacting to it and processing the reverberations of it. And now we go to the top sign of 2025, meaning the sign with the least challenging transits and the most opportunity. That would be Gemini.
Speaker 1:Gemini, you are really I talked about this for Aquarius but like you are really, really truly at the forefront of change and innovation in society. Your ADHD style is suddenly being rewarded. The faster pace at which you operate is being championed and there's a premium on it. It will feel like because I think, as Geminis, you feel like your life like that. Life happens at two or three times playback speed, and people are confused by why you sometimes talk so fast or you are kind of squirrely and you just change the subject or you start doing something else Suddenly. That will be the way that a lot of people want to operate, and you are already a master of that now. In some cases, your honest and your sign can make you even more frenetic and high strung, though, but I think ultimately, this is helping you connect I don't know some neurons in your brain that, uh, you know, are helping you again innovate and drive some kind of like genius discovery with Jupiter and Venus.
Speaker 1:Even that alignment is helping you because it's in your second house of money, self-worth possessions. So when Jupiter and Venus align in your second, I mean you could make a good amount of money. It doesn't happen for everybody by definition. I mean not everyone is going to experience the same thing, but there's an opportunity there. The energy is there for you to attract abundance on a material level, and then the North Node is in the 10th, so you could be discovering a career path that is very suitable for you and you may feel vindicated like all of your hard work has paid off for you, and you may feel vindicated like all of your hard work has paid off, but Saturn is still in the 10th, so there's going to be a lot of hard work that goes into that. The South that'll be in your 4th. Some of you are moving, some of you will experience changes in the family that you maybe didn't expect, but ultimately, again, you can't complain about financial abundance. You can't complain about the fact that your MO, your modus operandi, is suddenly making sense to everybody around you, so you will feel like understood and seen, and I think that's the greatest gift of all.
Speaker 1:Anyways, there's obviously many, many more details to uncover about the year ahead, which I do divulge in my 2025 horoscope videos, but I wanted to give you a special episode before the new year starts and get you hopefully excited about it. I think every sign, 1 through 12, in this ranking, has something to look forward to, which, hopefully, I surfaced in this forecast. So don't be dismayed if all of your placements are like Aries and Virgo. It's not a detriment, I just think it would be. You know it would be remiss not to do some kind of ranking Again, all in the spirit of just analyzing a fundamental truth about what each sign is experiencing next year.
Speaker 1:Like there are, you know, currents that we swim through in life, and this is basically saying which signs have a smoother current that is, carrying them along a little bit more effortlessly, and which ones are swimming a bit against the currents. But by swimming against a current, maybe it's getting you to a more interesting destination, even if you have to swim a lot harder. So there's not necessarily. This is not really like good to worst. Like I said, it's much more complicated than that. I think it's like least resistance to most resistance, or sorry, most resistance would be 12 and least resistance would be one. And I guess the last thing I was going to say about Gemini is you know, you have a great year because, again, most of the social planets and all of the outer planets are going into the fire and air elements and those elements are in the same polarity as yours. So, yeah, I mean that's again basically the definition of flowing with the current.
Speaker 1:So, yes, I do hope this episode was helpful for you and not fear-inducing. I will be back next week as well and definitely share the episode with people and, um, you know, give it a review and, uh, share it with your followers on other platforms. And, you know, thank you for joining today's episode. Um, I'm again. Uh, I'm Evan Nathaniel Grimm. You already know that, but, uh, yeah, so thank you for tuning in and I will catch you next week, take care.
