Jupiter brings expansion and growth: meet the ruling planet of 2025
Reading time: 
One of the most talked about subjects in Astrology at the turn of the year is planetary rulership. Curiosity takes over as to which planet will rule the coming year and what we know about it. But before we find out which will be the ruling planet of 2025, let’s talk about an equally talked about and somewhat controversial subject: after all, is there really a ruling planet of the year?
Ruling planet of 2025: yes or no?
Many conservative astrologers do not like to consider the existence of an annual ruling planet. This is because the idea was only popularized by the Chaldean Astrologers, who had a unique method of counting about the Earth’s geocentric system. That is, they attributed planetary governance from the order of distance regarding to Earth, organized based on the speeds of the slowest planet to the fastest (with the Moon, in Astrology, being considered a planet): Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Sun, Venus, Mercury and Moon.

The Chaldeans used a 7-pointed star to define the annual planetary order, known as the Chaldean order. Each point corresponds to one of the seven planets visible to the naked eye, as mentioned above. This configuration can also be found on the days of the week, besides the annual rulership. That is, according to them, the cycle repeats itself every 7 years.
As previously mentioned, many traditional astrologers do not like this system, using only the planetary movements that occur during the year and not the existence of a single ruling planet. However, the most modern ones do like to use the annual rulership, because in one way or another, the energy ends up impacting collectively and not just individually, which we must consider a lot if we are going to evaluate the whole.
Annual rulership only begins in March 2025
The annual rulership, contrary to what many people imagine, does not begin at the turn of December 31 to January 01. The beginning of this rulership occurs when the Sun enters the first sign of the zodiac, Aries, on March 20. This counting is due to the fact that, for Astrology, this date is what marks the real beginning of a new cycle – what we call the Astrological New Year.
Until March 20, 2025, we will still be under the rule of Saturn. The teacher planet of the Universe marks a period of many breaks and new beginnings. The year 2024 brought the need for us to act with more seriousness, discipline and responsibility in the face of the circumstances of our lives, taking into account a more mature and very enlightening view of what no longer adds value to us. Everything that was not on a firm and solid foundation, Saturn’s energy ended up knocking down. With this, we will become more selective and responsible with everything that happens in our lives.
Jupiter, the ruling planet of 2025
Based on the Chaldean theory, the next planet to arrive for the annual rulership is Jupiter, the great benefactor. Known as the planet of good luck, Jupiter brings an energy of expansion and abundance, but also of excess. Natural ruler of the sign of Sagittarius and the first planet of the sign of Pisces, Jupiter arrives in 2025 bringing an energy of prosperity, but of vigilance.
Due to the fact that it is a planet with very remarkable energetic and spiritual characteristics, self-knowledge will be necessary on this journey, since the expansion of awareness is also a subject linked to this planet. Those who think that this will be a year of only fluences and good things are mistaken – Jupiter’s influence is measured by the way we deal with our own essence. That is, if we are willing to improve our energy in favor of growth, then Jupiter acts in an expansive way – or, the opposite path is certain.
At work, we can go on a journey of opportunity and growth if we are vibrating in this energy – limiting thoughts have no place in a Jupiter year. On the other hand, in love, it is a year to break paradigms, to get to know ourselves more intensely in order to connect with people who have the same energy, so that this feeling and this purpose expand more and more.
