Commit or quit? Before you make a move, consider these key zodiac dates for relationships in 2025
Summer is here, at least in the Northern Hemisphere — and wedding season is upon us. The most popular wedding dates of 2025 are Saturday, August 23, and Saturday, September 3. While these days are presumably picked for fair weather and the poetic notion that love should come to fruition whilst the world that surrounds us is in full bloom and at apex ripeness, there is a curious cosmic alignment to these auspicious dates. It's fitting that Saturday is the preferred day of the week for a hitching — it belongs to Saturn, our planet of karma, punishment, the long game, hard work, fortified foundations, and iron-clad Tarot reader, and astrologer Inbaal Honigman explains that two planets in particular have a direct bearing on how love relationships start, peak, and end. 'Naturally, the love planet Venus is important. This is the planet that influences our emotional well-being, the way we relate to others, and how comfortable we are in a relationship. When Venus is in a romantic sign, such as Pisces or Cancer, people will be feeling more inclined to get into relationships. 'On the other hand, when Venus is in a very independent sign, such as Aries or Sagittarius, the inclination would be more towards breakups.' From June 6th to July 5th, Venus will luxuriate in the pleasure pastures of Taurus. During this transit, we are drawn to the stable and the surefire and are more likely to commit, settle down, or just plain settle. From July 31 to August 26th, Venus will dip into the tidal pools of Cancer, a sign associated with divine domesticity, matching pajamas, soup mugs, and reciprocal soul-nourishing. This transit encourages an all-in, ready-to-move-in approach to relationships. It's about as cozy as the cosmos ever gets, folks — so ride it till it bucks you. Speaking of…when Venus enters the bold b–ch and bronco heart of Sagittarius on December 1, we're primed to see relationships end and wedding plans halted as the energy shifts from obsessive Scorpio to fancy free Sag. On the upswing or upright horseshoe, this transit also supports love as an unexpected discovery, rather than a well-plotted course — and elopement over the dog and pony show of a traditional wedding. Who doesn't love a plot twist? Mercury, our planet of the mind and the mouth, is another power player in the game of love. 'This is the planet that impacts the way we introduce ourselves, how we talk to others, and whether we tell the truth. When Mercury is in a communicative sign such as Gemini or Virgo, people are likely to talk themselves into somebody's favor. 'However, when Mercury is in a quieter sign such as Aquarius or Taurus, the vibe will be much more single,' explained Honigman. If we factor in the shadow period, Mercury will be retrograding in Leo for the bulk of the summer (June 30th to August 25th). In Leo, Mercury is made of jazz hands, crocodile tears, long-winded soliloquy, and unabashed declarations of love. Mercury retrograde in Leo loves nothing more than doomed romance and the comeback arch of long-lost love, so there could be reunions aplenty — or at least a reconcilatory fling before moving on and marrying up. Mercury stations retrograde on August 11th, and will just about clear its shadow in time for the two most popular wedding dates of 2025. Couples choosing to solidify their bond in late August and/or through September and October, will have likely come through the calamity of this transit bettered by it — and closer for it. 'What's interesting is that while wedding trends often follow practical patterns, like warm weather and weekends, there's often a subtle alignment with astrology too. August 23rd, this year's most popular wedding date, comes just after Mercury retrograde ends, which could feel like a natural moment of clarity and renewed connection for many couples,' Ella Citron-Thompkins from Diamonds Factory told The Post. She noted that winter and particularly the Christmas season are among the least popular times for nuptials, and often herald the need for deep rest, quiet, and introspection. More existential than marital, if you will. 'It's fascinating to see how the cosmic and the cultural sometimes overlap, even when we don't consciously plan it that way,' Citron-Thompkins said.

Is your colleague or boss an emotional vampire? Here's what experts say
Whether it is the great resignation or Gen Z burnout in the workplace, more employees and employers are having a hard time seeing eye to eye. While bad pay and stress often play a big role in how some workplaces fall apart, there's also the risk of individuals playing into emotional contagion. This refers to staffers who unknowingly deplete the emotional state of other employees. They are also known as energy vampires. We asked celebrity psychic Inbaal Honigman who are the most common energy vampire culprits, with advice to help avoid having your emotions sucked dry when you are on the grind. 1. THE CONSTANT COMPLAINER These individuals focus exclusively on problems rather than solutions, often recycling the same complaints repeatedly. Their persistence is unwavering, and they ground their entire personalities around their need for repetition, even in complaining. To mitigate, conversations need to be brief and original, meaning you tell the complainer the right solution, and don't get dragged into renegotiations. 2. THE DRAMA MAGNET Life for these people is always in crisis mode, with every minor inconvenience treated as a catastrophe requiring immediate attention. They thrive on emotional intensity and unconsciously create situations that pull in other individuals. Turn their made-up scenarios into a more productive conversation by sticking to the facts. Refuse to engage with their internal monologue and let them know you're happy to listen to them, not to their intrusive thoughts. 3. THE CHRONIC INTERRUPTER These individuals dominate conversations, rarely listening but always speaking over others. This one-sided energy exchange leaves others feeling invisible and drained from the effort of trying to be heard. Their domineering of every conversation is at the heart of fiery interactions, and it is exhausting. There's no way to beat them at their own game because shouting louder will only encourage them to raise their voice. Get out and leave them shouting in the void. Walk out of the room, put the phone down and don't reply to emails. 4. THE PERPETUAL VICTIM Nothing is ever their fault, and they're constantly wronged by someone or something. They reject responsibility for their circumstances and subtly guilt others into providing emotional support without reciprocation. This energy vampire dwells in the water element. They manipulate emotions, water's signature move. There is only one way to disengage from a water vampire and that is to switch off emotionally. Don't take anything to heart, use short sentences, and if they accuse you of anything, say a dry 'sorry' and move on with your day. 5. THE JUDGMENTAL CRITIC Always finding fault with others, these individuals spread negativity through constant criticism. Their harsh judgments create a defensive environment where others must constantly protect their energy from being diminished by disapproval. Their god complex fuels their need to judge and admonish. Question their sanctity by asking 'why'. Questions would remind this energy vampire that they are not a deity.

May 2025 sex and love predictions — here's who's getting lucky and who's leveling up
Welcome to the flower-powered, Venus-ruled month of May, folks. We'll spend most of May under the divine influence of Taurus, the zodiac's resident hedonist. However, Venus and Mercury — two personal planets that directly impact relationships — begin the month in the 'born this way, bold b–ch' sign of Aries. Mercury rules communication, and Venus governs attraction. According to psychic astrologer Inbaal Honigman, this double dose of firepower means we'll all be on the hot hunt for the new and the novel. 'You'll be looking for something fun, new and fresh. You might be looking for a new adventure with your current partner, or for someone new to enjoy life with,' she said. Aries is always down for a dare, and with the grounding influence of the sun in Taurus, some may be ready to take the greatest gamble of all and commit to long-term love. 'Since the first three weeks of May are in the stable, home-loving sign of Taurus, those who are already in relationships will feel the pull towards establishing their love story,' said Honigman. 'Moving in together, investing in the future, or putting a ring on it, will feel like the right thing to do.' Honigman notes that the prime time for proposals and progressing toward permanent plans is the window between May 10 and the 20th, when both the sun and Mercury are in Taurus. While we'll all be ignited by the influence of Aries and grounded by the presence of Taurus this month, three signs stand out for luck in love. Read for your sun and rising signs. Ahoy, Virgo! The dual influence of Aries and Taurus activates your eighth house of sex and resources and your ninth house of spirituality and expansion. A revelation, however devastating, or a connection, however unexpected, may lead to a new way of being and believing for you. Welcome the weird and withstand the strange — the best is yet to come. The combination of Aries and Taurus energy this month activates your sixth house of rituals and your seventh house of relationships, Scorpio. In kind, love can and should be a ceremony for you in May. Light the fires (Aries) and give thanks for the body you have, and the body — or bodies — that you exchange the potent energies of care and carnality with (Taurus). The earthy energy of Taurus may inspire you to commit to a person or a personal change with an act of conscious consecration. Be it a ring, a hair doll, or a blood oath — seal the deal with a ceremony. Taurus season highlights your fifth house of fun and fertility, Capricorn. With the embodied influence of Taurus and the experimental energy of Venus, this is an excellent time to explore the depths and bounds of your sexuality. Spring has sprung, and with it the eternal summons to renew and/or begin. Whether taking the journey with a trusted partner, a surprising fling, or the mighty company of yourself — you are primed to enter a new dimension of desire.

Will your 2025 be unlucky? Who will be rolling high — and falling short — based on your zodiac sign
We're in the first flush — or freeze — of the New Year, and while many start it with high hopes and doomed resolutions, a staggering number of us enter with high anxiety over what the future and our fortunes may hold. Over the last several weeks, searches for 'unlucky zodiac signs in 2025″ surged by a massive 3,850%, suggesting fear is besting optimism in the opening days of 2K25 Yikes. Expert psychic, tarot reader and astrologer Inbaal Honigman is on hand, dice and stardust with her insights on which star signs will be feeling and getting lucky this year. Aries folk can look forward to cash confidence and newfound riches in the year ahead. 'The solar eclipse in Aries on March 29 reveals some hidden truths that give you the edge over competitors,' Honigman shared. 'A bonus you didn't know about or a pay rise that was kept a secret will come to light and turn things around for you financially.' Secret wealth? Competitive earning potential? Money to burn for this cardinal fire sign? Can dig. Bull babies will find newfound fortune in their coffers of self-worth, courtesy of side-spinning, chaos-kissing Uranus. 'For most of the year, Uranus, the planet of rebellion, is in your sign, Taurus, which means you'll feel more independent and comfortable standing up for yourself,' said Honigman. From July to November, Uranus transits out of Taurus and into Gemini, giving bull folk a chance to stop charging/defying/bucking and an opportunity to integrate the lessons of divine upheaval. It's double trouble, double earning potential for Geminis by way of the influence of luck-drunk planet Jupiter, the luminary of good fortune, risky business and deep pockets. 'In the first half of the year, lucky financial breaks will flow your way. The planet of growth and abundance, Jupiter, is in your sign continuously until June 9. Business ideas will be successful, bank loans will be authorized, and you'll find great bargains and deals with unexpected discounts applied at the checkout.' Lucky breaks and good credit? All signs point to dollar signs, Gemini. Cancer folk will also be blessed with the influence of dice rolling, pony betting, good times and glad rags. 'Jupiter, the planet of growth and abundance, goes into your sign on June 10 and remains in Cancer for the remainder of the year. It does turn retrograde on Nov. 12, which blocks your good money fortune, but only temporarily. Put that date in your diary, as that's a good time to enjoy your earnings and plan for the following year.' Leos can look for luck in their career sectors in 2025, thanks to the good tidings and fleet feet of Mercury, the planet of currency and exchange. 'Mercury will be in your sign for longer than usual, which means success with job applications, new projects, pitches, signing contracts and meeting new bosses at swanky events.' Honigman says the ideal window for schmoozing and social climbing is June 27 to Sept. 2. However, she cautions the lion pride to pump the brakes and cease the self-promotion during Mercury's brief retrograde from July 17 to Aug. 11. It's a great year to be a Virgo, as those born under the banner of this mutable earth sign will be blessed with two eclipses, making it a year to remember. 'The lunar eclipse in Virgo is on March 13 and will be a revelation. Something you've wanted to find out for a long time will come to light and help boost you on a personal level. Then, the solar eclipse in Virgo on Sept. 21 will ensure you have the edge in career and money arenas. It's a year of transformation as you step out from the shadows and into the sunshine and learn to enjoy the limelight.' Coming out of the dark to count fat stacks? We love to see it, Virgo. Ruled by Venus, the planet of attraction and aesthetics, Libra lives to be loved and to look good doing it — and this year is shaping up to be a fine time for flights of fancy. After April 12, Venus will be in a state of forward motion for the remainder of the year. 'This means that every stage of your love life evolves naturally from the previous stage, and your romantic situation develops in the most hassle-free way,' Honigman says. She notes that between March 1 and April 12, Venus is in retrograde, putting a hitch and a hold up in your love game. However, you'll be doubly blessed when the planet of silk sheets and cinematic sex lands in your sign from Oct. 14 to Nov. 6, adding an extra dash of good-good ahead of cuffing season. No one loves a win more than you, Scorpio — and lucky for you, the validation of victory is aplenty in 2025. 'Fiery planet Mars, which rules passion and battles, is in your sign from Sept. 22 to Nov. 4. If there are arguments around you, legal situations, or even a longstanding neighborly dispute, you're pushing ahead until you come out on top.' After this heated push, Mercury will retrograde in your sign from Nov. 19 to 29, resurrecting old issues and irritants so that you can finally put (or take) them to bed. Luck looks like community for you in 2025, Sagittarius. 'For the first half of the year, your ruling planet, Jupiter, is in fun-loving Gemini. This means parties, garden events, and invitations galore,' Honigman says. 'As Jupiter moves into Cancer for the second half of the year, you find yourself surrounded by family, prioritizing calmer gatherings and your emotional health, which is even better for you.' If you need a shoulder to lean on or a lap to land on, you'll find a willing party at every turn. Let it go and let it grow Capricorn. 'This is your year to plant your orchard because you won't need to move for a long time. It's your year to spend time with the older generation, to invest in renovations, to build a legacy,' shared Honigman. For the past two decades, Pluto — our petite power planet of sex, death and transformation through trauma — has been holding court in your sign. At long last, the planet has shifted into Aquarius, heralding a time for you to relax and recharge before you forge ahead. Are you ready for the revolution, Aquarius? 'Did you want to pivot to a whole new career? Do it; you'll find success. Were you planning to go back to your studies? Great idea. New husband, new home, anything that spells new beginnings will blessed for you this year,' said Honigman. This slash and burn and rise up high on the fumes and ashes energy comes courtesy of Pluto spending every day of 2025 in your sign. 'For the past couple of years, Pluto has been popping in and out of Aquarius, creating cycles of transformation but not a committed, unbroken step. Now it is here to stay, and you'll find lots of luck in creating and encouraging personal transformation.' Praise be: Pisces people can expect to find luck in love this year. 'The planet Venus is in your sign twice this year, between January and April. It is the planet of love and brings good luck with relationships. In addition, you slowly put your dream life together this year, as two planets come together,' Honigman says. 'Saturn, the planet of karma, and Neptune, the planet of illusion, are both in your sign for the first quarter of the year. Finally, the lunar eclipse in Pisces on Sept. 7 gives you a flash of things to come. You'll be introduced to a helpful character who could help you leap towards your ideal future.
