JULY 2025

After June’s busy cosmic calendar, July seems a bit friendlier. Well, until Mercury does us dirty. Here’s what you need to know.

Get your flirt game on when Venus skips into Gemini on the 4th. This is a fun transit for the planet of love – ideal for lively conversations, chatting up interesting folks, swiping right, and connecting through shared interests. If you’re single, there is no better time to let your inner vamp come out and play! Even if you’re partnered, you can find the right words for elevated pillow talk. Venus also rules spending – use this transit to purchase pens, journals, stationery, books, classes, and all the short trips! Venus remains here until the 30th.

Neptune retrograde on the 4th brings necessary reality checks. In the sign of Aries, this feels like a speed bump. You might be forced to stop what you started, review your goals, and update your plans. Keep in mind that Neptune will be back in Pisces on October 22nd. When that happens, your faith will be put to the test. But once Neptune stations direct on December 10th, you’ll be clear on what it takes to make your dream real.

Big news: Uranus takes a detour into Gemini on the 7th, giving us a taste of what’s to come. Uranus in Gemini favors innovation in travel, literature, science, and education. This period, which lasts until November 7th, may illuminate what needs an update. But the actual work may not happen until 2026, when Uranus settles in the sign of the Twins for seven years.

The Full Moon in Capricorn on the 10th is your ideal lunation to celebrate goals reached. How has 2025 been shaking out for you so far? Which ambitions have paid off? Where do you need to change course? Be proud of your accomplishments while also being willing to release anything that isn’t working out. Clear the slate of unrewarding activities so you can put your energy into the work that matters.

Another retrograde! Saturn is retrograde from the 13th through November 27th. No biggie! This is your annual time to review your foundations, strategies, and boundaries. In Aries, you’ll want to revisit the new groundwork you started laying this spring. Are you blazing trails or burning bridges? Do you need to fan the flames or simmer down? Take stock and adjust accordingly. 

Drumroll, please: Mercury stations retrograde on the 18th. In the mighty sign of Leo, communication becomes stupidly loud. Conversations easily go sideways as egos roar instead of purr. Travel could be tense – keep your road rage in check if you want to avoid blowing a gasket or getting a ticket! Be sure to back up your computer. The last thing you need is a tech meltdown. Mercury will be direct on August 11th.

Leo season is official when the Sun sashays into the sign of the Lion on the 22nd. This four-week period is for living large, playing hard, and tooting your horn. Whatever you do, make it colorful and dramatic. No shrinking violets, please! The Sun slips into industrious Virgo on August 22nd.

The New Moon in Leo arrives in style on the 24th. It’s the ideal lunation for new art projects, fresh trims, and expressing what’s in your big, beautiful heart. If you have shied away from the limelight, now is your chance to claim your place on the main stage. Be visible, authentic, and proud of who you are! Set intentions for creativity, play, recognition, and presence.

Romance gets homey when Venus moves into Cancer on the 30th. Back rubs, home-cooked meals, and TLC is where it’s at! If you want more love, look at ways to nurture your beloved. Of course, you’ll also want to pour energy into self-care, too. The better you’re cared for, the better you’re able to care. Venus remains here until August 25th.

Annnndddd here’s your personal monthly horoscopes:

Gemini: You might feel like a lucky duck this month, dear Gemini. Venus in your sign on the 4th levels up your charm factor while the Sun and Jupiter open the door for cash to pour in. Results: more money, more honey. Yeah, baby! Uranus enters your sign on the 7th, giving you the permission slip to let your freak flag fly. You are one of the most unconventional signs of the zodiac, but now you’re free to be Head Nonconformist, a role you were born to play! The Full Moon on the 10th is ideal for updating your budget. If you clear leaks now, you’ll keep more of your earned income. Your ruling planet, Mercury, stations retrograde on the 18th, forcing you to clamp your lips shut for three weeks. As the saying goes, loose lips sink ships. It’s not a good time to flap your gums! Short travels beckon when the Sun enters your 3rd house on the 22nd for a four-week stay. While a quick road trip might boost your spirits, Mercury retrograde could spell trouble. Plan for delays and sketch out alternate routes just in case. The best day to hit the trails: the New Moon on the 24th. Leave then, and you might avoid the potential for drama the retrograde promises. Venus in Cancer on the 30th fattens your bank account well into August. However, the temptation for emotional spending could find you depleting your piggy bank as fast as you fill it. Revisit your budget if you want to stay in the black. 

Cancer: This is your season, dear Cancer, which means only one thing: strut! The Sun and Jupiter are giving you a glow-up! Your vitality and charisma are on full display, so is it any wonder why everyone wants to be your bestie? Venus in your introspection zone on the 4th puts you into retreat mode. Private romantic sabbaticals may sound heavenly now. Uranus joins Venus on the 7th, elevating your interest in all things far out and mystical. Meditation, spiritual practices, and therapy bring your groove back. Better yet, your third eye opens wide, allowing you to see situations from all sides. On the 10th, a Full Moon in Capricorn reveals the truth about a relationship. It’s time to face the facts, whether happy or unpleasant. The more you know, the more you’ll grow. Mercury retrograde on the 18th brings financial setbacks. Thankfully, you’re excellent at squirreling money away for those rainy days, so you’ll be well-prepared for financial surprises. The Sun eases your cash flow issues when it enters the earned income section of your chart on the 22nd. Even if you experience a speed bump, you’ll be able to keep on cruising toward your revenue goals. A new, profitable opportunity arises with the New Moon on the 24th. This could be a new job, side hustle, or promotion. Say yes – and trust this will push you in the right direction. Venus in your sign on the 30th keeps your star power shining brightly as the summer months roll on. Even if you’re stressed, you will find a way to remain blessed at every sunset. 

Virgo: July begins on a social note and ends with alone time, dear Virgo. The Sun and Jupiter in your friendship zone keep you buzzing from one cool event to another. Venus in Gemini on the 4th enhances your reputation for weeks, giving you the ability to win folks over to your side in every situation. Persuasive? Yes! Uranus dips a toe into Gemini on the 7th, a transit that could deliver a few career surprises. Opportunities could come and go suddenly, so be ready to act! The other way this could play out is disruptions at your job. In that case, you’ll want to explore different options just in case something goes down. Romantic possibilities improve when the Full Moon illuminates potential partners on the 10th. This is fabulous news if you’re single! If you’re already partnered, it’s your best lunation for a date night with your boo. Practice minding your own business when your ruling planet, Mercury, stations retrograde on the 18th. People might want to spill their guts to you – or they may attempt to get the dirt on you. Either way, the less you say, the better. The Sun in Leo on the 22nd is your annual cue to pipe down and rest. After weeks of gatherings, it feels good to say “nope” to invites. The New Moon on the 24th is super-duper for a time-out. A solo staycation will restore your batteries. A friendship could reveal a crush when Venus flounces into Cancer on the 30th. Sometimes, the best love matches begin as pals.

Libra: Romantic journeys are possible this month, dear Libra. The opportunities begin when your ruler, Venus, slips into the travel sector of your chart on the 4th. Jet off to a far-flung location with your boo. Single? A vacation fling is possible. Uranus in Gemini on the 7th brings opportunities for sudden trips. Think: invitations to destination weddings, a fast flight to Vegas with friends, or a deal that is too good to pass up – which could mean a last-minute trek to Thailand. Be ready with your passport, just in case. A family situation needs your attention around the 10th’s Full Moon. You may need to break up a feud or clear the air around a misunderstanding. Conversations with friends turn stupid when Mercury stations retrograde on the 18th. Words could be exchanged, which could lead to a breakup. You may also discover a frenemy in your midst. Despite this, the Sun in your social scene on the 22nd ensures you are still able to have fun. Don’t let a few squabbles wreck your summer party vibe! A new ally emerges on the New Moon, which happens on the 24th. This could be an important friendship, so defo cultivate this relationship.  Venus in your reputation zone on the 30th puts you squarely in the role of public darling. You’re able to do no wrong – but it is still wise to keep your words in check until Mercury stations direct next month.

Scorpio: Travel calls, dear Scorpio. The Sun and Jupiter in the 9th house of your chart means it’s time to expand your horizons through long journeys. Toss a dart at the globe, get your passport, and go! Venus in your joint resources zone on the 4th ensures you’ll have enough dough to support your wanderlust. (This transit could also mean more LUSTY activities. Hubba hubba!) However, your income could fluctuate wildly once Uranus enters the picture on the 7th. Once it sits next to Venus, sudden gains and losses are possible; keep a close eye on your money and calculate every risk. The Full Moon on the 10th brings important news. Something could be coming to an end that day, so be ready to close a door. Mercury retrograde on the 18th spells trouble for your career. You might have a hard time speaking up, or you may encounter gossipy types who want to knock you off the pedestal. The best plan: speak your truth and dust your shoulders off. The Sun in Leo on the 22nd gives you boss vibes. Even if a few haters circle your orbit, you’ll emerge the victor. The New Moon on the 24th brings an exciting opportunity. This could be a new job, position, or recognition. Stand tall, grab the golden ticket, and leave those haters in your dust! Venus in your travel sector on the 30th adds a romantic spin to your trips. Could this be a honeymoon? Or just new hot connections on a cruise? Whatever happens promises to be sweeter than a freshly prepared mimosa on a beach!

Sagittarius: July could bring gains through a partnership, dear Sagittarius. The Sun is aligned with Jupiter in the joint resources sector of your chart, which bodes well for your overall financial outlook – especially when it concerns other people. This could manifest as an inheritance, tax break, a promotion for a loved one, or a business alliance that pays off. Venus in your 7th house on the 4th raises the potential for a love connection – or harmony with a current flame. Uranus joins Venus on the 7th, which could bring sudden changes in your partnerships. People may come into your life or depart suddenly. It’s best to hold on loosely. A money situation comes to a successful close on the 10th when the Full Moon arrives. Travel plans get wonky when Mercury stations retrograde on the 18th. Despite this, the Sun in your 9th house on the 22nd puts you on the road (or in the skies) for the following month. The New Moon on the 24th could be a stellar day for take-off. Just remember to be patient if Mercury decides to play tricks. Venus in Cancer on the 30th marks a four-week period of financial growth and steamy romantic nights. As August unfolds, life feels like a rich, abundant, and sexy tapestry. Take that, Mercury retrograde!

Capricorn: This month is marvelous for relationships, dear Capricorn. The Sun shines a light on the most fortunate pairings, allowing you to choose those who bring positivity and opportunity into your world. Venus in your work zone on the 4th could deliver an office romance, harmonious working conditions, or business alliances. Uranus enters Gemini on the 7th, a transit that gives you an innovative edge. While everyone else struggles to adapt, you’re using tech like a pro – and coming up with original ideas. Results: a career upgrade. Let go of imposter syndrome around the 10th’s Full Moon. Instead, step into the spotlight and trust you belong there. Start home renovations when your ruler, Saturn, stations retrograde on the 13th. You’ll have months to create the perfect nest. This is also an excellent time to address family issues. If there are long-standing problems, you can address the root cause and resolve them once and for all. Mercury retrograde on the 8th causes financial hiccups. Unexpected bills could derail your money plans, so be sure to have some cash set aside for emergency expenses. Thankfully, the Sun in Leo helps you find new ways to bring cheddar in the door. You’ll be able to cover your ass, although it may be stressful! The New Moon on the 24th opens up the possibility for a new joint venture. It is worth investigating, so don’t be quick to toss it aside. As the month comes to a close, Venus in your 7th house adds sweetness to your romantic life. Cozy summer nights with your love make all the toil worthwhile. 

Aquarius: July expands your leadership role at work, dear Aquarius. This is your chance to take the lead, thanks to the Sun cozying up to Jupiter. Don’t play shy. You’re great at motivating your team! Romance beckons when Venus flutters into your true love zone on the 4th. If you’re single, it’s an ideal time to update your dating profile. Partnered? Expect more opportunities to pitch woo! Quiet time on the 10th’s Full Moon soothes your nerves. Make time for rest, and you remain on your game for the rest of the month. Saturn retrograde on the 13th puts you in an introspective – and possibly introverted – mode for a few months. Looking within may provide you with the wisdom you need to proceed. Mercury creates communication breakdowns when it stations retrograde on the 18th in your house of relationships. After weeks of cooperation, misunderstandings threaten the peace. The Sun’s move into Leo on the 22nd helps you find a way to lead conversations in positive directions. Open your heart, and you can reach a compromise. A new person may enter the picture on the 24th’s New Moon. This partnership could be significant, so pay attention! Venus in Cancer on the 30th elevates your chance for an office romance. Just remember: be careful when fishing off the company dock. 

Pisces: Take a breath, dear Pisces. While July could be fantastic for romantic prospects (thank you very much, Jupiter and the Sun!), there are also challenges to contend with. Venus in the domestic section of your chart on the 4th could put you in charge of a loved one – or a redecorating project. This could consume a lot of your time, making it hard to get your mack on. You’ll need to make time! Are you thinking about moving or updating your home? Uranus gives you the green light to shake up your living situation once it shifts gears on the 7th. It’s a fine time to explore new ways of cohabitating, too. For example, communal living might be your new thing. Host a party on the 10th when the Full Moon creates the ideal conditions for a gathering of pals. Saturn retrograde on the 13th puts a crimp in your budget for a few months. Tighten the belt, and you’ll sail through this period smartly. Mercury retrograde on the 18th creates confusion at work. Negotiations stall, emails get lost, and travel turns aggravating. Ugh. The Sun in Leo on the 22nd helps you level up to meet these work disruptions. A surprising job offer shows up around the New Moon on the 24th. Is it time to jump ship? As July comes to a close, Venus swims into your 5th house, putting your focus back on all things lovey-dovey. The flame is lit – and you’re ready to commit to finding a genuine connection.
