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 Aquarius as their rising sign, Jupiter has been in your 4th House since 1 May 2024 (i.e. for the past 7 months) and remains here until 15 May 2025. The 4th House represents our physical home, our emotions, and our mother. Jupiter’s presence in this house will bring blessings to one or several of these areas of life, such as finally moving into your own home, groundedness and stability in your emotional health, or blessings to your mother (perhaps health wise or financially).

On 15 May 2025, Jupiter moves into Gemini, which is the 5th House for Aquarius rising charts. The 5th House signifies children, intellect and decision making. Jupiter’s presence in the 5th House is a good time period to try for children, or perhaps a child will come to you during this time. Jupiter can also be a good support in helping you make sound decisions, so make use of this period (15 May 2025 – 18 Oct 2025) to make important decisions.

On 18 Oct 2025, Jupiter will leave Gemini briefly and enter Cancer, i.e. Jupiter’s blessing on the 5th 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 Aquarius rising charts, Cancer is in the 6th House of employees or servants, and pets. If you are a business owner, Jupiter here may bring a wonderful employee that turns out to be an excellent support for you, i.e. this period (18 Oct – 12 Nov 2025) is a good period for hiring. If you are thinking of getting a pet, this may also be a good time to do so.

Jupiter will start moving backwards (retrograde) on 12 Nov 2025, before re-entering Gemini on 5 Dec, where the blessings on the 5th 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 1st House of health and vitality. Saturn has the power of ageing us, hence when it is passing through the 1st House, you may tend to (or rather, have been) feel more tired than before, and have less energy and drive to get up and accomplish things. Saturn here may also bring up health issues. Thankfully, Aquarius is one of Saturn’s own signs, and Saturn will still grant benefits nonetheless. It is likely that any health challenges you faced had turned into a much needed boost to get you into a healthy daily routine of sleeping and eating well.

Saturn finally moves into Pisces on 30 Mar 2025, and will remain here for the rest of 2025. Pisces is the 2nd House of finances and savings. During this period, you may find it more difficult to increase your savings due to increased expenses. It is also possible that you have to dip into your savings at some point.

The 2nd House can also represent your close family, and Saturn passing through here may create more distance between you and your family. Nurturing any relationship takes love, care and time. If there is a family relationship that you have been taking for granted, now (before 30 Mar 2025) is a good time to show how much they mean to you and strengthen the relationship.

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 2nd House. It has been here since 30 Oct 2023 and will remain here until 18 May 2025. As mentioned earlier, the 2nd House signifies our finances, savings and close family. When Rahu is in the 2nd House, there can be unexpected expenditures or situations that dip into your savings. Rahu can also bring about shocking and unexpected situations to your close family, or you yourself may experience such situations stemming from your close family.

On 18 May 2025, Rahu will enter Aquarius in the 1st House of health and vitality and remain here 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.

Rahu in the 1st House may cause some unexpected health problems. It may also bring about situations where you may feel confused or where you don’t feel like you belong, such as being a foreign place. Since Rahu is in his own sign, there will likely be benefits arising from such circumstances. It may be a good time for you to travel overseas or take on an overseas job posting. Still, Rahu being Rahu, it is always wise to take the necessary precautions.

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, like being stranded on a boat in the endless ocean.

Ketu is currently in Virgo. It has been here since 30 Oct 2023 and will remain here until 18 May 2025. For Aquarius rising charts, Virgo is in the 8th House of debt, loans and chronic health issues. Ketu here can cause confusion and mistakes when dealing with debt and loans, perhaps taking on more than what you could repay due to a miscalculation. Ketu’s transit here may have also triggered chronic illnesses that may be difficult to diagnose and treat.

On 18 May 2025, Ketu will enter Leo, and remain there for the rest of 2025. For Aquarius rising charts, Leo is in the 7th House of relationships and partnerships, and Ketu here can bring about confusion in this area of life. There may be events that make you no longer certain about the relationship you are in, or perhaps you lack direction on how you would like your relationship to be like. If you are in a business partnership, the same confusion may also apply to how you feel about your business partners.

Communication here is key to dispelling the metaphorical fog around relationships and make sure everyone is on the same page. You may to clarify what you both want out of this relationship and align on where you both wish the relationship to go.
