Getting to the point—since early January, when transiting Pluto entered my Natal Venus orbit, I’ve been obsessed with the idea of a serious, committed relationship. This happened the same week I reconnected with someone from a short but meaningful relationship 4 years ago—she never really left my mind. Naturally, this made me even more fixated on the idea that maybe this is the right time and she’s the one. Our synastry is strong—her Venus conjunct my ASC, her Moon conjunct my Jupiter, her Sun conjunct my Moon… you get the idea.

Over the past few weeks, I’ve been analyzing all astrological angles regarding relationships in 2025. Right now, we only talk through messages since our schedules are busy and we live about two hours apart. We’ve only met in person once this year. She’s mysterious, intense, and communicates more through body language and eye contact. (Mercury conj. Pluto in Scorpio, Venus in Cap, Moon in Aquarius). She doesn’t talk about feelings at all, making things even harder for me to understand.

I’d really appreciate it if anyone could take a look and offer insight. I know I’m biased and might be seeing what I want to see. Here’s all the relationship-relevant info I gathered from my Solar Return, Secondary Progressions, Venus Return, and Transits for this year:

Here is my birth chart, Venus Return, SR and progressions:

There's also her chart in case it helps (I don't have her birth time, but know she has an Aquarius Moon). I didn't took the time to analyze her transits, SR, and so on... as it doesn't really make much sense without the birth time.

SOLAR RETURN:

In my solar return, two active T-Squares highlight key tensions. The first (Venus 7 - Moon 4 - Uranus 10) reflects a conflict between my pursuit of love, my feelings about home, and my work. Venus dominates, being in its domicile, natal sign, and conjunct natal Jupiter, meaning relationships will strongly influence other areas—likely in a positive way. It's a Mars 4H profection year, I'm not sure what this means in context.

The second T-Square (Saturn 8 - Mercury 5 - Jupiter 11) shows a struggle between seeking a serious relationship (supported by Juno trine Saturn [not depicted in the chart]), enjoying romance, and social involvement. Finding balance between pleasure, friends, and commitment is a key theme.

A Moon-Saturn trine (with mutual reception between houses 7 and 1) links both T-Squares, suggesting that resolving social tensions will ease relationship struggles. Additional transformation signs include Pluto SR entering the 7th at 0°, and my last Venus Return in Libra (10th house), opposing Mars (ruler of the 1st), reinforcing the theme of constructive tension between work, love, and action.

TRANSITS:

All Year: Pluto will exactly conjunct Venus for the first time in mid-April 2025, staying stationary there for a month. The next exact conjunction will be in February 2026, with two more in that same year, suggesting I'm now entering the first of three key phases.

Mid-April – Mid-May 2025: Pluto exactly conj. Venus; progressed Moon and Pluto conj. Natal Moon - a fateful encounter may occur, instantly felt as karmic and significant. This marks Uranus' final conjunction with my Vertex (5H), coinciding with Jupiter’s last stretch through my 5th house, signaling the culmination of this search for romance.

These transits activate houses 5, 7, and 11, suggesting the meeting could happen within a friend group. Additionally, on April 23, Venus, Saturn (ruler of my SR 7th), and the Moon align with SR Neptune, while on May 3, Venus and Neptune align with SR North Node—further reinforcing a predestined, karmic moment.

May 13: I'll have my progressed lunar return, with several harmonic aspects suggesting emotional alignment and the start of a new cycle. This is significant as the Moon rules my natal 7th house and my SR ASC.

May 20–30: With the Sun and Mercury moving through the 5th house, multiple aspects with Natal Venus arise. The peak is the New Moon on May 27 in the 5th house, marking a period of romance and pleasure. Lunar return suggests home-related changes, possibly a temporary stay elsewhere?

July 8–25: Venus enters the 5th house, forming a trine with natal Venus on July 8 and with Jupiter on July 23. Meanwhile, a Mercury-Saturn trine in the 7th house signals serious relationship conversations, occurring around July 11 and July 25.

July 25 – September 1: Possible moment of tension, lacking romantic aspects, marked by the final Mercury (retrograde)-Saturn aspect. Given the houses involved, this tension may stem from distance, routine, or social commitments—perhaps a trip or busy schedules delaying the relationship’s progress, requiring patience again, as in February/March.

On August 24, the last exact Mercury-Saturn trine occurs, now with Venus in the 7th house, resolving the issue through deeper communication and commitment. This culminates in a Venus-Venus natal opposition, signaling a key choice that impacts nearly all areas of life (except houses 4, 8, and 11). Multiple Venus 7H aspects—oppositions and trines—build intensity, fading by September 1. This marks a relationship's shift from casual enjoyment to something serious, leading into a more harmonious and deepening phase (September 1–21).

September 21–30: Lastly, the relationship deepens further as Venus moves through the 8th house, aligning with the progressed Sun and Venus (alongside an eclipse) on September 21. On September 30, Venus conjuncts the North Node, marking a transformative period of intimacy, likely involving intense emotional, sexual, and spiritual experiences.

And that's it for 5H, 7H, Venus and Moon transits this year! I hope someone has made it this far.
