If you're looking for love, you might want to pay attention to the movement of the stars. A new report from the dating app Tinder reveals that nearly 40% of singles believe their horoscope will influence their dating choices in 2025. Fortunately, Reda, an astrologer at the dating app Flirtini, has compiled a detailed astrological calendar for the coming year to help us navigate our love lives and fortunes according to celestial movements. Here are the dates to watch, as detailed by NYPost:
March 1 – April 12: Reevaluating Love Values
This spring, Venus—the planet of love, attraction, and abundance—will enter retrograde from March 1 to April 12, first in Aries and then in Pisces. Reda explains:
"This retrograde invites us to reassess our love values. It’s a time to let go of superficial connections and focus on relationships that nourish the soul, with the goal of building stable and deep partnerships."
During Venus' retrograde, it’s not uncommon for exes to reappear in our lives. Their return isn’t necessarily a sign to rekindle the relationship, but rather an opportunity to reflect on whether we have broken old patterns and moved forward. This is the time to reevaluate past relationships and close unresolved chapters. If a relationship no longer contributes to your growth, it’s time to let it go.
May 24: Balancing Independence and Commitment
On May 24, Saturn—the planet of discipline and responsibility—will move from emotional Pisces into determined and independent Aries. Reda explains:
"Saturn’s shift into Aries highlights the need to balance independence with commitment. Maintaining a strong personal identity while building relationship stability is essential for creating a harmonious and healthy partnership."
June 9, 2025 – June 30, 2026: Nurturing Emotional Connections
On June 9, Jupiter—the planet of growth and abundance—will move from intellectual Gemini to emotional and family-oriented Cancer, where it will remain until June 2026. According to Reda, this transition "encourages strengthening emotional bonds and nurturing family relationships. For those looking to improve their love life in 2025, the best advice is to create a harmonious and supportive environment in both romantic and family settings."
July 7: Staying Open to Change and Unconventional Dynamics
On July 7, Uranus—the planet of unexpected changes—will shift from the stability of Taurus to the dynamic freedom of Gemini. Reda explains:
"This transition brings excitement and unpredictable events into our lives, pushing people to explore new relationship dynamics and seize unique romantic opportunities. A flexible mindset will be crucial."
Whether it’s unconventional relationships, significant age gaps, or connections forming in surprising ways, this is the time to broaden your horizons and experiment with new approaches to love and partnership.
September 7: Embracing Vulnerability
On September 7, a full moon lunar eclipse will occur in Pisces—the sign of emotions, spirituality, and deep emotional connection. Reda notes:
"The full moon eclipse in Pisces encourages us to release old patterns, embrace our vulnerabilities, and connect on deeper emotional levels, leading to more meaningful and fulfilling relationships."
Preparing for Mercury Retrogrades
In 2025, Mercury—the planet of communication—will go into retrograde three times:
- March 14 – April 6
- July 17 – August 10
- November 9 – November 29
During Mercury retrograde, communication can become more challenging. To maintain stability in relationships, it’s important to be patient, ask clarifying questions, and practice forgiveness towards yourself and your loved ones.
