This week’s Planet Parade is shaking up every zodiac sign’s forecast. Here’s what you should know!

If you’ve been scrolling Instagram or TikTok lately, you might have seen people talking about something called the “planet parade.” No, it’s not a cosmic fashion show (although that would be amazing?). It’s a rare astronomical event that has the astrology girlies and stargazers alike absolutely freaking out—in the best way possible.

What is the Planet Parade, anyway?

The term “planet parade” is used to describe a phenomenon where multiple planets align in the sky, appearing close together from our viewpoint on Earth. This week (January 22 and 23, 2025), Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and Venus are all in close proximity.

If you have a telescope or even just binoculars, you might even catch a glimpse of Uranus and Neptune. It’s basically like the Solar System’s A-list celebrities are walking the red carpet, and we get front-row seats (yay)!

Astronomers love it because it’s visually stunning, but astrologers? We’re out here analyzing what it means. Because, spoiler alert: when the planets align, the vibes get intense. Each planet rules over specific energies—love, ambition, communication, etc.—so when they’re all hanging out together, those energies combine, amplify and ripple through the zodiac.

It’s a celestial shake-up, and no one is immune.

Weekly Horoscope: December 22 through 28

How does the Planet Parade work in astrology?

Astrologically speaking, the planets are like cosmic influencers, each with their own vibe. Here’s a quick cheat sheet:

  • Venus: Love, relationships, beauty and finances. This is mostly your love life, personal grooming and shopping habits.
  • Mars: Action, ambition, and even your ahem, bedtime drive. Mars is all about “Let’s get it done now.”
  • Jupiter: Growth, abundance and optimism. Big “main character energy” that makes you into the star you were born to be.
  • Saturn: Responsibility, discipline and boundaries. It’s like the strict but wise parent of the zodiac or an intense tutor.
  • Uranus, Neptune and Pluto: These outer planets deal with bigger, collective shifts and subconscious vibes. Think of these as the astrological ambiance.

How the 2025 Planet Parade impacts each zodiac sign

What does the planet parade mean for you? Grab your birth chart (or just your Sun sign if you’re new to this) and let’s dive in.

Aries (March 21–April 19)

Aries, you’re already the queen of “go big or go home,” but this alignment takes things to a whole new level. With Mars (your ruling planet) in the mix, your ambition is on fire right now. Whether you’re launching a new project or finally hitting the gym after ghosting it all winter, this is your moment to shine.

Just be careful not to bulldoze over others—teamwork can take you further. We’re looking at Aries men extra hard right now, because Mars (the ruler of Aries) has especially masculine energy. For female Aries, this is a bit more balanced. But male Aries? Sheesh! Move outta the way!

Pro tip: Use this energy to channel your passion into something meaningful. Maybe start that side hustle you’ve been dreaming about.

Taurus (April 20–May 20)

Taurus, you’re usually all about that slow-and-steady approach, but Venus (your ruling planet) is begging you to shake things up. This planetary alignment is hitting your house of personal growth and travel, so it’s time to step out of your comfort zone.

Book the trip, say yes to the blind date or try something totally outside your usual aesthetic. This is also one of the best times of the year for you to step outside and into nature. Grab your long puffer coat and take the dog on an especially long walk—you’ll be surprised by the genius ideas that pop into your mind.

Pro tip: Trust the process. Change might feel scary, but the results will be worth it.

Gemini (May 21–June 20)

Gemini, your social butterfly tendencies are in overdrive during this planet parade. The energy is lighting up your house of friendships and collaborations, making it a prime time to network or reconnect with old friends.

You’re magnetic right now, so don’t be surprised if you become the unofficial hype woman of your group.

Pro tip: Use this energy to brainstorm new ideas or join a group that aligns with your passions. If you haven’t already read Steal Like an Artist: 10 Things Nobody Told You About Being Creative, you definitely should. You’ll be unstoppable.

Cancer (June 21–July 22)

Cancers, you’re feeling all the feels right now (but you always are!). The planet parade is activating your career and public life, meaning you’re about to get noticed (in a good way). Whether it’s a promotion at work or a sudden burst of inspiration to start your own business, the universe is pushing you into the spotlight.

Don’t let imposter syndrome hold you back. Make the IG or TT video. Give yourself the space to shine. The world loves you!

Pro tip: Set boundaries so you don’t burn out. You’re glowing, but you still need rest. Do not forget about breakfast! Try adding a vegan protein powder to your routine and remember to hydrate.

Leo (July 23–August 22)

Leos, you live for the drama (let’s admit it), and this planet parade is serving major main-character energy. The focus is on adventure and self-expression, so don’t be afraid to take risks.

Post the TikTok. Sign up for that art class. Say yes to opportunities that let you shine. And feel free to treat yourself to a little Leo gift this week—you’re likely to have some spare cash right now.

Pro tip: Be bold, but stay humble. The universe loves confidence, not arrogance.

Virgo (August 23–September 22)

Virgos, you’re feeling introspective during this cosmic event. The alignment is stirring up your house of transformation and deep emotions, so it’s time to let go of anything that’s no longer serving you. Think: decluttering your closet, cutting off toxic relationships or finally forgiving yourself for that embarrassing text you sent last year.

Pro tip: Journaling or meditation can help you process these intense vibes. If you haven’t already read The Body Keeps Score, it could be life-changing for you.

Libra (September 23–October 22)

Libra, this planet parade is turning your love life up to an 11. With Venus (your ruler) leading the charge, relationships are front and center. Whether you’re single, dating or in a long-term and loving relationship, expect major shifts.

This is a great time to have those heart-to-heart conversations or manifest the kind of partnership you really want. Skip big parties and events right now and commit to loving, heartfelt talks, intimate dinners for two and movie nights cuddled up with your best slippers and good snacks.

Pro tip: Stay true to your values. Don’t settle for less than you deserve. Add Worthy: How to Believe You Are Enough and Transform Your Life to your reading list.

Scorpio (October 23–November 21)

Scorpios, this cosmic event is all about your daily routines and wellness. If you’ve been feeling stuck or overwhelmed, this is your chance to hit reset. The planet parade is giving you the motivation to create healthier habits—whether that’s meal prepping, finally signing up for therapy or just drinking more water (seriously, hydrate!).

This is also a great time to shop for Valentine’s gifts for him (if you’re attached), but be careful to stay within budget.

Pro tip: Small changes add up. Start with one habit and build from there. Need a good, easy idea? Try this viral women’s health shake as your new breakfast every day for a week and see how you feel!

Sagittarius (November 22–December 21)

Sagittarius, this planet parade is bringing big creative energy your way. Whether you’re writing, painting or just posting aesthetic pics on Instagram, the universe is urging you to express yourself. It’s also a super flirty time for you, so don’t be surprised if your DMs are blowing up.

You should also comb through this weekly horoscope for you to get a better sense of what to expect.

Pro tip: Say yes to fun (not that you ever deny adventure and fun, though). Life is about the journey, not just the destination.

Capricorn (December 22–January 19)

Capricorns, the planet parade is shining a light on your home and family life. This is a great time to redecorate your space, reconnect with loved ones or finally tackle those chores you’ve been procrastinating on. It’s all about creating a foundation that feels solid and supportive.

Grab some of the best board games for a much-needed family game night, make some snacks (these cottage cheese protein pancakes are totally your speed) and make some memories.

Pro tip: Don’t forget to make time for self-care. You can’t pour from an empty cup.

Aquarius (January 20–February 18)

Aquarius, this planetary alignment is activating your communication zone, making it a great time for brainstorming, writing or deep conversations. If you’ve been meaning to launch a blog, podcast or creative project, now is the time.

Your ideas are pure gold right now. There’s an e-book called Hacks for TikTok that may appeal to you if you’re trying to grow your account (and the planets tell me you are looking for followers or a way to grow your personal brand).

Pro tip: Share your voice. The world needs your unique perspective.

Pisces (February 19–March 20)

Pisces, the planet parade is all about your money and self-worth. If you’ve been feeling insecure or stuck financially, this is your chance to turn things around. Think about new ways to save, invest, or monetize your talents. The key is believing in yourself and your value.

Pro tip: Manifest abundance by practicing gratitude for what you already have. And I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, you need to add The Body Keeps Score to your reading list ASAP.
