Love may continue to feel a bit sluggish for you, and everyone, while the romance planet Venus is retrograde. This lasts from Saturday, March 1 to Saturday, April 12. It’s not an ideal time for weddings or first dates, but of course, don’t let astrology stop you from living your life. Mark down the full moon in sexy Scorpio on Monday, May 12, as it’s a night that could bring some super hot sex as it illuminates your 5th House of Pleasure. Just know that full moons can also lead to bickering, so make sure to take it easy. And once Venus is direct, and in your sign, which occurs from Wednesday, July 30 to Monday, August 25, love abounds. These dates are perfect for events such as first dates or weddings.
Scorpio season, which lasts from Wednesday, October 22 to Friday, November 21, illuminates your pleasurable 5th House. That means that when you see people getting ready for Halloween, it’s a sign that romance could be coming. Then, at the end of the year, when the sun moves into Capricorn on Sunday, December 21 (where it will stay until Monday, January 19 of 2026), the sun shifts into your partnership-oriented 7th House. The holiday season of 2025 should be especially romantic for you, Cancer. You’re happiest when you’re with family, but remember that can mean chosen family, too. For a romantic partnership to work for you, they need to feel like family.
Your romantic partners should feel like family, and the same is true for your friends, too. Much of your task for 2025 will be working to maintain a balance that allows you to make new friends while nurturing old ones. There’s a bright full moon in your sign on Monday, January 13. You’ll want to party with friends around this date. However, beware that full moons are known to bring out the animal in people. Some single Cancers may find themselves making out with friends around this date!
A new moon in Taurus that could see you running into someone who becomes a new best friend arrives on Sunday April 27. New moons are associated with beginnings, and this one falls in your 11th House of Friendship.
All of Taurus season, which lasts from Sunday, April 19 to Wednesday, May 20, sees you expanding your social circle. In fact, you may want to give any romantic partners a heads-up that you are going to be more interested in hanging out with friends than you are going on dates while the sun is in Taurus.
The sun moves into your sign, signaling the start of Cancer season on Friday, June 20, and stays there through Wednesday, July 22. It’s very important to celebrate your birthday with friends. And don’t just assume they will throw you a surprise party. Communicate with them ahead of time. And speaking of communication, take note of the days that messenger Mercury goes retrograde in 2025—Saturday, March 15, to Monday, April 7, Friday, July 18, to Monday, August 11, and Sunday, November 9, to Friday, November 29—as these periods could lead to misunderstandings and cause travel delays.
