While there are big changes on the job and career fronts this year, this is both an overlapping and a surge in the two. At the same time that you reach one of the most pivotal years on the career front in over a decade, you are also moving into the pinnacle year for everything that has been building on the job front for over 12 years and even more so over the last few years. In addition, you have the ordinary annual parade of planets that move through your work and career sectors each year. If you were to take a snapshot of where things stand on 1st January 2025, then everything would be the same and it would be business as usual. However, within days that will change and an extraordinary series of events will be underway that will turn 2025 into the year that everything until now has led up to and everything from now will lead on from.
The year begins with Neptune, the planet of hopes and dreams in your work sector, as he has been since 2012, along with Saturn, who has been here since March 2023. For nearly two years they have been working as a team, with Saturn giving you the resolve to do whatever it takes for as long as it takes in order to turn Neptune's dreams into reality. They are also both getting ready to leave, Neptune on 31st March and Saturn on 25th May, though this won't be goodbye just yet. Saturn will retrograde back in on 1st September before leaving in February 2026, while Neptune will retrograde back in on 22nd October, before leaving in January 2026 and then not returning again in our lifetime. It is while they are gone that everything is set to change on the career front, with preparations for this starting within days of moving into the New Year.
Helping to get Neptune and Saturn's final months underway will be Venus' return to your work sector on 3rd January and while she will leave on 4th February, she will return again from 27th March to 1st May. Mercury will do the same, returning from 15th February to 3rd March, only to return again from 30th March to 16th April, during the critical months when Saturn and Neptune will be transitioning out. Meanwhile, while this is happening Mars, who left your career sector in November 2024 will retrograde back in on 6th January and not leaving again until 18th April, he will be here, firing up your professional passions, fighting and competitive spirit during those critical months. Mars is also back for his own mission, which is to help you prepare for Jupiter, the planet of luck and expansion's return to your career sector on 10th June to begin your biggest year for professional growth and expansion in over a decade. This is who Saturn and Neptune will return to find when they retrograde back into your work sector to tie up loose ends later in the year.
