Love, money, and family: how the retrogrades of 2025 will shape your second half of the year
The second half of 2025 is set to bring some of the biggest astrological shifts of the year. With so many major planets turning retrograde, the Universe is offering a powerful moment to pause, reflect, and reset. It is as though just when you were ready for a whole new world, the cosmos whispers, “Wait… there are a few loose ends to tie up first.”
Retrogrades are not here to block you. They are here to help you correct course and give you second chances — especially in areas like love, money, and family. Here is how this energy might affect you and what you can do about it.
Love
What happens in your love life now depends on where all these retrogrades are landing in your chart. Are they moving through your Flirting Zone (5th House)? Your Love Zone (7th House)? Or perhaps they are stirring things up in your Career Zone (10th House), meaning your heart is more focused on your professional goals than romance?
What we can say, even without your personal chart, is this: the second half of 2025 is full of second chances when it comes to relationships. If you have been rash, maybe ending something that deserved another look, the Big Retrograde Energy of the coming months could open a door for reconciliation, healing, or simply understanding what went wrong and why.
If you want to know exactly how this energy will play out for you, based on your time, date and place of birth, consider this your invitation to my free “FINISH 2025 STRONG” workshop. It is the easiest way to see which areas of your love life, or any part of your chart, are getting a second chance at magic.
Money
If money has gone haywire this year — maybe you got ahead of yourself and overspent, or perhaps you feel like you have been left behind — the return of the planets to their previous signs could be exactly what you need. The retrograde energy of the second half of 2025 brings an opportunity to step back, reassess, and get things right financially.
Here are a few ideas to work with this energy:
- Go back to the drawing board with your financial plans. Review your goals, budgets, and spending habits.
- Talk to someone older and wiser about money. Retrogrades love wisdom from the past, so take advice from those who have been where you are now.
- Cross your fingers for money you are owed from the past. Retrogrades often bring delayed payments, refunds, or unexpected financial blessings that were “on hold” for some reason.

Family
When it comes to family, the retrogrades of the second half of 2025 could feel like the Universe is asking you to revisit old dynamics or heal lingering issues. If there has been tension or distance, this is a chance to reset. If there are unresolved conversations or patterns that keep resurfacing, now is the time to address them gently and with compassion.
Here are a few ideas to make the most of this energy:
- Reconnect with family members. Reach out where there has been silence or misunderstanding.
- Reflect on old family patterns. Ask yourself what cycles you are ready to release and what boundaries need to be put in place.
- Focus on forgiveness. Retrogrades give us a chance to let go of grudges and make peace with the past.

In Short
The second half of 2025 is a cosmic review session. It is not here to stop you but to fine-tune your dreams. Retrogrades are the Universe’s way of saying, “Let’s get this right so you can move forward with clarity and confidence.”
