2025 is just around the corner and it is time to have a glimpse of what may come in this new year. But first, some preliminaries.

This series is arranged by rising signs or ascendants, not your Sun sign. Secondly, these rising signs are based on the sidereal zodiac, not the more commonly seen tropical zodiac.

Please also note that these forecasts are based only on your rising sign and does not take your whole natal chart into account. The planets in your natal chart will further modify these forecasts, so if you would like a more accurate forecast, it is best that you get a reading from your astrologer.

Right, let’s get to the focus of this post. This series will focus on the transits of the slower moving planets, namely Jupiter, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu. All of these planets will change signs during the 2nd quarter of 2025, which can make this a rather eventful period.

Transit of Jupiter

Below lists the transit of Jupiter through the zodiac signs in 2025.

• 15 May 2025 ingress into Gemini
• 18 Oct 2025 ingress into Cancer (exaltation)
• 12 Nov 2025 station retrograde in Cancer
• 5 Dec 2025 retrograde back into Gemini

Among the 9 “planets”, Jupiter is the greatest benefic. It brings blessings, expansion, opportunities and protection wherever it goes.

For those with Leo as their rising sign, Jupiter has been in your 10th House since 1 May 2024 (i.e. for the past 7 months) and will remain here until 15 May 2025. The 10th House signifies career. Jupiter’s transit here can bring a promotion to a higher position at work or an access to greater resources that can facilitate your work. Jupiter can also bring about an increase in positive reputation.

On 15 May 2025, Jupiter moves into Gemini, which is the 11th House for Leo rising charts. The 11th House signifies income and friends. Jupiter here can bring about an increase in income, and it is also a good period to make new friends and expand your social circle.

On 18 Oct 2025, Jupiter will leave Gemini briefly and enter Cancer, i.e. Jupiter’s blessing on the 11th House will be paused. Cancer is the sign of exaltation for Jupiter, i.e. it is the sign where Jupiter is most able to bring forth his blessings.

For Leo rising charts, Cancer is in the 12th House of expenses and things of a foreign nature. Jupiter here can indicate an increase in expenses, but because Jupiter is exalted, you will be spending on things of the highest quality or on educating and upgrading yourself, i.e. it is money well spent. There can also be blessings from foreign things, people or places, so it is also a good period to travel overseas and gain new experiences.

Jupiter will start moving backwards (retrograde) on 12 Nov 2025, before re-entering Gemini on 5 Dec, where the blessings on the 11th House mentioned above will resume.

Transit of Saturn

Unlike Jupiter, Saturn is a malefic planet, i.e. it causes problems and difficulties wherever it goes. Saturn tends to bring a sense of tediousness and contraction. What used to be easy and quick now seems to take more time and effort. Saturn also tends to dull the colours of life and makes things more monotone.

Saturn has been in the sign of Aquarius since 23 Oct 2022, which is in the 7th House for Leo rising and will remain here until 30 Mar 2025. Though it is a malefic, being in its own sign of Aquarius will make Saturn better behaved, and still grant benefits along side with challenges.

The 7th House represents relationships and partnerships. Saturn here can indicate physical and/or emotional distance between you and your partner. Your partner may also experience tiredness and fatigue.

This provides a good opportunity to revisit and adjust what you both need from the relationship, especially if you both haven’t done so for a while. Your partner may be needing a bit more space to rest and recharge in this period, which might mean less couple time than you would like. A conversation would be helpful to readjust your expectations of each other.

Saturn finally moves into Pisces on 30 Mar 2025, and will remain here for the rest of 2025. Pisces is the 8th House for Leo rising and represents loans and chronic illnesses. If you have taken a loan previously, then Saturn here can indicate the pressure and stress of repaying the loan. If you are thinking of taking a loan, the loan conditions is likely less than ideal when Saturn is in this house, and repayment can be stressful. Do think through carefully before taking on any loan.

Saturn’s transit here can also activate underlying chronic illnesses. So do get a health checkup if you haven’t done so recently, and take good care of yourself.

Transit of Rahu

Like Saturn, Rahu, also known as the North Node, is also a malefic and signifies that which is unfamiliar and foreign. It can also represent things and events that are unexpected, sudden, or shocking.

Rahu is currently in the sign of Pisces in the 8th House. It has been here since 30 Oct 2023 and will remain here until 18 May 2025. As mentioned earlier, the 8th House represents loans and chronic illnesses. Like Saturn, Rahu can activate underlying chronic illnesses, though in a more sudden and unexpected manner. There may also be emergency situations around loans. Perhaps something urgent came up that needed you to take a loan to overcome, or there was unexpected hiccups when it comes to loan repayment.

On 18 May 2025, Rahu will enter Aquarius in the 7th House, and remain there for the rest of 2025. Like Saturn, Rahu is also the lord of Aquarius, so Rahu will not cause as much difficulty and challenges as he would in other signs.

The 7th House represents our relationships. Rahu in this house may bring a foreign partner if you are single. If you already have a partner, your partner could be spending some time overseas, away from you during this period. Your partner may also undergo certain experiences that changes them, and you may suddenly feel less familiar with this person. It is best to be curious and ask your partner to share their experiences with you, so that you can be a part of this change that they are going through.

Transit of Ketu

Ketu is the shadowy twin of Rahu and is also a malefic. Ketu is associated with confusion and uncertainty. Wherever it is in the chart, there tends to be a sense of being lost and not knowing what to do.

Ketu is currently in Virgo. It has been here since 30 Oct 2023 and will remain here until 18 May 2025. For Leo rising charts, Virgo is the 2nd House of finances and savings. Ketu is associated with the number “0”, so its placement in this house can indicate difficulty growing your savings, and may indicate a dip instead. If you have any fixed assets, it is possible that they do not grow in value during this period.

On 18 May 2025, Ketu will enter Leo, and remain there for the rest of 2025. Leo is the 1st House of health and vitality. Ketu here can indicate health issues that are difficult to diagnose and treat. In line with Saturn’s transit earlier, it is recommend to get health check up if you haven’t done so to catch illnesses, if any, early on and get treated.

Ketu in the 1st House can also bring about confusion, or events that you find difficult to comprehend and make sense of. You may wish to discuss important decisions with a trusted person to get more clarity, and trust the process even though it may be confusing in the moment.
