July Monthly Horoscope 2025

Summer is in full swing as the month of July kicks off in the Northern Hemisphere. It begins with a kite formation. You are ready to launch something big. The month is jam packed with planet activity. Neptune, Saturn, Mercury and Chiron all go retrograde. Be sure to take action at the beginning of the month, before things really slow down. The full moon will be in Capricorn, and the new moon in the sign of Leo. Let's see how the full month will play out for all signs.

Celebrating our Freedom

July 1st - Rabbit Rabbit! Do you say this the first of every month to bring in good luck? Give it a try.

July 3rd - Happy Birthday to me! Today Venus is at the last degree of her home sign of Taurus conjunct with Uranus. There can be big surprises headed your way in love and money. What house does this energy occupy for you? There could be a big test as this critical degree is activated. What have you learned over the past 3 weeks while Venus was at home?

July 4th - Happy Independence Day? Venus moves into the sign of Gemini and helps us to speak up about what we desire. There is a reset happening whenever a planet hits the zero degree point of a sign. Gemini is our thoughts, our mind, and our communities. Women may be especially active in our communities over the next 3 weeks. Neptune in Aries will also turn retrograde. This is the beginning of reviewing your dreams for yourself. What will it take for you to go after them?

July 6th - Venus in Gemini has a harmonious conversation with Saturn, and Neptune as it begins its retrograde motion. We can easily be deluded by others and may be swept up by someone from the past. Look to the Moon in Sagittarius to have the wisdom and truth you need to make a good decision. Just say no to rose colored glasses.

July 7th - the day that Pearl Harbor was attacked in 1941, a day we pause and remember. Uranus in the sign of Gemini, returns there today for the first time in 84 years. This is going to really shake up the sky. Sadly the last time this planet moved into Gemini, the USA retaliated by dropping an atomic bomb on Japan. Let's hope we are not taking anything to that kind of extreme this time. Power moves are possible as Venus in Gemini as well, is speaking in harmony with Pluto in Aquarius, while retrograde. This will be a time for innovation with things like AI, transportation, and weapons that fly through the sky. We get a glimpse of what this new energy means for us until November of this year, then it will duck back into Taurus for a final shakeup. You can review my 2025 highlights for some more details on Uranus in the sign of Gemini and of course tune into the weekly Astrolesson.

July 10th - the full moon in Capricorn occurs today with the Moon at 18 degrees of the sign. We have another water sign full moon like we did in May, where the Nodes are speaking in harmony. This is fated closure of some kind, and it may be about someone's political career. It can also be an achievement related to your own career or reputation, both are common Capricorn themes. Saturn as ruler of the full moon is still exploring its time in Aries while conjunct to Neptune and sextile to Uranus in Gemini, and Pluto in Aquarius, retrograde. This is society as a whole playing a role in this conclusion, a positive supportive role. Besides the opposition to the Sun in Cancer all the energy on this day is very supportive. Whatever ends now, it is meant to be and it is for good reason, even if it may not seem like it at first. Check out the full details in the stand alone article, here.

July 11th - the Sun in Cancer is now exact in its connection to the North and South Node. The Sun is our success and right now that is related to the sign of Cancer, caring and nurturing others. Women and mothers are achieving some sort of success. The Moon moves into the sign of Aquarius and speaks in harmony with Uranus, while conjunct to Pluto. Something big is unfolding, something surprising. The people have spoken.

July 12th - late in the evening for the West Coast, Saturn will turn retrograde at 1'56" of Aries. We have until September 1st to review what we have been learning since May 25th. We haven't seen Saturn in this sign since 1994. We need some time to reflect. There is work we need to do for ourselves and it requires some tough inner work. What house is this work being done in for you? Aries rules the self and Saturn is teaching us all to be more disciplined in how we go after our dreams. This time Saturn has been working alongside Neptune, so this work is new and different. Our dreams require effort, we can't just put them out there and hope they come true. We have to do the work. Anything still in our way will be dissolved completely once Saturn returns to the sign of Pisces with Neptune in the last quarter of the year. And so the journey begins.

July 17th - Venus in Gemini at 15 degrees is speaking in harmony with Mercury in Leo, also at 15 degrees, as it is stationing to go retrograde. This means Venus is helping you do the work with Mercury over the next 3 weeks. The planet that wreaks havoc on communication and transportation and our electronic devices, will make it back to 4 degrees of Leo before it moves forward again on August 11th. Mercury in Leo has you reviewing the topics related to the heart, love and romance from the past may come up for you. Just remember past lovers are often lessons, so don't dive head first, learn what needs to be learned first.

July 19th - the Sun in Cancer is squaring to Chiron in Aries. There is a change needed in order to heal yourself. It's a good time to look at how you are caring and nurturing yourself. This is a good day to review your health routines and make changes. Also a really good day to slow down and be careful. Squares can be warnings of potential accidents, so no rushing!

July 20th - the Moon joins with Uranus in Gemini, to highlight the work on the collective that is being done by all the outer planets working together. Uranus, Neptune and Pluto are all in alignment. These are generational planets, they help to create new milestones in the collectives development. As they are all speaking in harmony the work is happening beneath the surface, and behind the scenes that is reshaping society as we know it. Saturn is there along with Neptune guiding the transformation work. With 3 out of the 4 already in retrograde it's the past we are taking a deeper look into in order to learn, grow, and change. The Moon has you intuitively guided on what it is you need to learn. This is a long story line of support as these planets move only a few degrees every year. That means the change is slow going, and requires patience.

July 21st - Venus in Gemini, with the Moon, is forming a tsquare with the Nodes and Mars. Shocking breakups are possible. Fate plays a heavy hand today whether its pressure to change the way you look at love, money or the things you put value in. Since Venus and Mars are considered the lovers of the zodiac and they are in a quarrel, there is a chance for there to be a big argument of some kind that puts on a bit of a show. Mars working with the Nodes is fated action, time to get moving. This is also the last day for the Sun to be in the sign of Cancer, so it's going to get a bit emotional. If you are stuck in an unhealthy relationship, work or personal, use this energy to break free.

July 22nd - the Sun moves into the sign of Leo where it will be making some power moves over the next several days. Our focus turns to Leo themes, romance, fun, hobbies, our children. It's summer and its time to have some fun. It's time to consider how we can launch our dreams into reality. Time to do the research and plan. Time to ask for what you want from your romantic life as well. The first planet the Sun aligns with is Uranus in Gemini, both at zero degrees, they are presenting you with a brand new idea. This could be a day filled with big aha moments.

July 24th - we have the new moon in the sign of Leo today. It's time for a fresh start in all things that speak to your heart's desires. The Sun and Moon are speaking exactly with Saturn and Neptune in Aries, all in fire signs, they are teaching you how to harness your inner fire in order to achieve the success you desire. The Sun and Moon are also opposing Pluto in Aquarius. This is a challenge to balance your needs with the needs of others. Leo energy is about being on stage, stepping up and becoming a leader. Saturn has the plan to help you do just that, but there is hard work involved, don't shy away from it. For more details check out the full write up with the breakdown by sign here.

July 28th - Venus in Gemini is speaking in harmony with Chiron in Aries as it is slowing down for it's long retrograde journey. Chiron will remain in retrograde until the new year. We are getting close to the end of the work we have been doing that involves our self image, our self confidence. There may be conversations you have with others today that kick off a healing journey for you.

July 30th - as we end the month Venus sits at the last degree of Gemini, while Chiron stations to go retrograde. Some strange relationship announcements are possible under these conditions, especially since the Moon in Libra, relationships is inconjunct to the North Node in Pisces. Is there a very public, very unexpected break up?

August preview - this month we see Mercury ends it's retrograde in Leo, we have a full moon in Aquarius, and a new moon in Virgo. We are settling in a bit before the Eclipse season kicks off next month. Watch the Virgo new moon for what will need eclipsed out in September when we have the 2nd new moon in Virgo at 29 degrees of the sign!
