Cosmic beings, 2025 is a year of sultry awakenings, raw truths and unfiltered self-discovery when it comes to love and sex. With Venus and Mars both retrograde in the first quarter of the year, and Pluto, the planet of transformation, now settled in the unconventional sign of Aquarius until 2044, all zodiac signs are being called to dig beneath the surface of our romantic and sexual desires. No more superficiality or leaning on societal standards of what’s “hot or not.” Instead, the cosmos asks us to get real about what actually turns us on — not just in others but in ourselves.
