Big changes are coming your way. After a long period of keeping a low profile and enjoying private time to develop your inner life, there is a complete shift in focus. This week brings the end of an era, next week brings the beginning of a new one. When Jupiter – the planet of wisdom, generally associated with luck – enters the sign of Cancer at the beginning of the following week, accompanied by Mercury, a wonderful period begins, bringing optimism and a wealth of new ideas. This heralds significant and fortunate changes for home and family.

You can expect major structural changes in June which will affect your personal lifestyle and your professional aspirations. On June 9th, the planet of communication, Mercury, conjoins Jupiter and then moves into your sign. The day after, Jupiter also moves into Cancer, heralding a year-long period of expansion intellectually, workwise and in your personal life generally.

This double-entry of Mercury and Jupiter brings extraordinary events, not least new horizons in your personal life and a change of lifestyle. It is a great time of relationships with wise people who are a fruitful source of creative ideas. However, this predominantly beneficial influence is tempered by changes affecting your professional life. The framework which has supported your career is in a process of dissolution, which ultimately leads to something more meaningful, although this is a process that can last up to nine months.

Despite professional challenges, this is an optimistic period when you actively take the reins to steer your life in the direction you want it to go. This is particularly strong on June 21st, when your confidence emerges and you see the glass as half full rather than half empty. This is the time to mobilize all your communication talents and establish yourself in new local surroundings.

During the last few months of 2024 and the first few months of 2025, Mars is moving retrograde then direct through your sign, evoking you fighting spirit and bring emotions to boiling point. As Mars also opposes Pluto on the first few days of the year, this is a high-intensity period when you will be involved in power battles or psychological issues related to partners or powerful organizations. This battling period ends at the subsequent Mars-Pluto opposition in late April, which brings resolution and catharsis.

Whilst the first few months of 2025 bring struggles and survival battles, everything changes in early June, when Jupiter – the bringer of good fortune – enters your sign, Cancer. A wonderful period begins, especially for study and travel, and an urge to spread your wisdom far and wide grows. This would be the perfect time to initiate a disciplined program of writing or communication.

2025 is a year of great significance in your professional life, as Saturn and Neptune conjoin in the area of your solar chart connected with goals and aspirations. If you have a profession which is not giving you satisfaction, you will need to take a time out to consider what kind of work would be meaningful for you. It is not about status or prestige now; what counts is to work on something that stands the test of time and has social benefits. If you are working nine to five and dependent on an organization, you are likely to find the authorities to be oppressive. The eclipse on March 29th highlights this period of career reassessment, and this is a process that will not be complete before February 2026.

The last three months of 2025 heralds an important period of spiritual and intellectual growth for you which is extremely fortunate, starting at the solar eclipse on September 21st. This is a time when you can travel and get recognition for the things you have achieved. Exams are passed, lawsuits are won, and the powers-that-be smile on you.
