*July 2025 Monthly Horoscopes – Summaries*
Aries
You’re paying more attention and pouring more energy into family, living conditions, and nesting in July, dear Aries. Your instincts are strong in these areas! You’re also motivated to boost your daily routines and efforts toward improved wellness. As the month advances, romantic and creative themes amplify.
You could be in the relative background for much of July, with an emphasis on your sector of home and family and your ruling planet tucked away in your solar sixth house. You enjoy a great deal of positivity in your work matters and living conditions. Self-improvement efforts can be magnificent with several influences on your solar chart encouraging you to rebuild or rework something to make your life better. This can be a work project, efforts to manage your personal space, time invested in maintaining a prized possession, or a project related to improving your health and well-being. It may be that anger or frustration over your current situation motivates your improvement efforts, and this is a constructive use of Mars energy!
Still, Venus spends much of the month (the 4th to the 30th) in your communications house, lacing the month with a lively spirit. You present your ideas and comments with charm and ease during this cycle. Making social connections and sharing your thoughts come more smoothly and naturally. Your studies, interests, learning, and connecting are more enjoyable and satisfying. Transportation can be pleasant. It’s a good time to expand your mind and connect with others through the mind. Falling in love through the power of words is not out of the question. You might discover new and more satisfying ways to express yourself–you’re expanding your options! You express both your feelings and ideas with the same ease. This transit can help buffer some of the misunderstandings Mercury’s retrograde from the 18th forward can bring.
Uranus becomes a long-term guest in your solar third house just a few days after Venus heads into this sector, but it will stay much longer! Uranus here can introduce you to a broader and perhaps eclectic array of mental interests. This long-term cycle revolutionizes the ways you communicate and connect with the world around you. You’ll be opening up and expressing your unique ideas more often. As you think differently, you communicate differently. Your daily life is bound to become very colorful, although possibly also a little unpredictable or chaotic. Regular encounters with neighbors, relatives, and acquaintances, as well as everyday activities and business activities, may be changing quite dramatically. This year, this Uranus transit lasts from July 7th to November 7th, but it will continue from April 2026 forward for many years.
You can make some exciting discoveries around the Full Moon on the 10th, but you’re also likely to be called to action if you’ve been too heavily engrossed in your personal life. You may be called to task or simply required to fill a responsibility and take the lead now. It may be a time of promotion, culmination, or a turning point in a project.
Mercury turns retrograde on the 18th, offering you the chance (or need) to review your goals with the creative or playful side of your life, and this can be a blessing in disguise. Now is the time to process and digest recent events and ideas. Reviving or reworking old projects are possible themes. While you shouldn’t get stuck in the past, a review can be appropriate, profitable, and beneficial. You might breathe new life into old projects or consider ways to break out of a rut. Waiting for information can be frustrating, but in the meantime, you can accomplish a lot.
Neptune, Saturn, and Chiron are all visiting your sign, and this month, all three bodies turn retrograde! These retrogrades detach you just enough from your current responsibilities, ideals, and dreams for you to gain a new perspective on them. While you may lose some wind in your sails just for now, the retrograde cycles ultimately bring about more balance in your life. You are maturing and learning to rely on yourself during this phase of your life.
Especially from the 22nd onward, expressing yourself creatively helps you define and understand yourself better. Love, love affairs, and other social activities are in stronger focus. On this date, the Sun heads into your sector of joy, pleasure, pastimes, and creativity, encouraging you to follow your heart. You might also see a past matter related to hobbies, creativity, romance, or children in a brand new way in the last few days of the month. The information, conversations, or connections you make at this time can be significant.
While Venus moves into your home and family sector on the 30th, and there’s more focus on home life ahead of you, there is a shift emerging that turns your attention to more outgoing, creative, sociable, and pleasure-seeking activities. As problems smooth out on the home front, you feel freer to explore, experiment, and enjoy new pleasures.
Taurus
Others are readily charmed by your sincere, warm, and direct approach to the world this month, dear Taurus. You are more confident and sociable and even a bit bold. There is a wonderful emphasis on your communications sector in July. While a retrograde Mercury from the 18th forward may lead to some misunderstandings, it’s a solid time for expressing yourself with unique flair or for finding satisfying outlets for connecting and communicating. If you focus on slowing yourself down or taking care of works already in progress, this can be a very rewarding month.
You have a stronger desire than usual to communicate and connect this month. It’s possible siblings, relatives, or neighbors play a more vital role in your life, or your curiosity and need for variety can lead to a busy pace. There is much to attend to in the short term, but you can also make time for long-term vision and planning. It can be a strong month for learning, particularly self-taught or home-learning endeavors.
You have more courage to express yourself or your talents and passions this month as Mars transits your creative sector. You’re ready to jump into action when it comes to managing your creative projects, leisure time, hobbies, and romance. You are putting more energy into your pastimes, but you’re also especially busy with daily demands. For the most part, you are able to keep up with the busy pace of your life. You could find outlets for self-expression that can be very personally rewarding around the Full Moon on the 10th. You are especially spirited and emotionally courageous. There is a greater craving for intellectual stimulation and a fearless attitude towards creatively expressing yourself and pursuing your heart’s desire.
There can be some frustrating issues to tidy up in your domestic life, or old family problems could resurface while Mercury is retrograde from the 18th forward. Some backtracking is necessary, and although progress might seem slow, any delays now may one day be considered blessings in disguise. Try not to feel pressured into making big decisions this month, as they may have to wait. In truth, there can be much to enjoy and learn, even if (and perhaps because) you’re waiting. This is a time for rediscovering old projects, reorganizing the home, and dealing with past problems in new, empowering ways.
You may be turning to past projects and interests rather than embarking on all-new endeavors, but there is a lot of good energy with you for devotion and dedication, and you can end up in a stronger position in the end. Efforts made towards editing, revising, refining, and reviving reap rewards. You can also achieve great success in designing, writing, guiding, or teaching. At the very least, you put more of yourself into your studies, personal interests, mobility, or daily affairs. Taking creative or romantic chances is likely, and it feels good to kick back and “do you.”
Venus spends much of the month (from the 4th to the 30th) encouraging you to enjoy yourself. The focus is on building or enjoying your resources, and attracting the right things to you comes naturally. Getting along well with others can be one way to boost your business or income. There can be relaxing moments to enjoy, explore, and develop your talents. You might also more fully enjoy activities that soothe, comfort, and boost your confidence.
Uranus has been transiting your sign for many months, but it moves on this month (on the 7th). Uranus is transitioning out of your sign this year and the next, taking the pressure off to assert your independence. Uranus doesn’t change signs often – only every seven years or so. Uranus spending time in your resources sector is likely to bring excitement surrounding finances and possessions into your life in the years ahead. There may be a sudden change in financial position, such as a windfall or significant gift, a sudden urge to spend or invest money, a new money-making idea or project that seems to emerge unexpectedly, or new insights into money, financial ability, or self-worth. You may need or want to rid yourself of excess baggage.
Uranus has more work to do in your sign–it will return to Taurus on November 7th and then will move into your resources sector more consistently in April 2026. It can be confusing, but you can think of it as a period of back and forth and of transition from one transit to the next.
For now, keep in mind that your attitude towards personal finances, as well as your value system, is evolving. There is a need to be free from certain attachments during this long-term cycle. With income, you are challenged to think outside of the box to come up with viable plans to improve your finances. You may be seeking alternative sources of income. This can be a time of freelance work or various sources of revenue. You can also experience a change of attitude towards the accumulation of possessions and/or property.
Neptune, Saturn, and Chiron all turn retrograde this month, and they’re currently all transiting your solar twelfth house. As such, it’s a good time for reviewing and reassessing your plans and goals, but not ideal for setting new ones. Thoughts often turn to past frustrations that are still affecting your present. You may have the opportunity to find some level of peace regarding past disappointments.
The Sun moves into your home and family sector on the 22nd, and things can settle down for you as you gear up for a home-centered, back-to-roots time. It’s not only about improving your life at home or with family; it’s also about getting in touch with your needs and desires. Domestic matters assume more importance at this stage. As exciting as your projects and interactions have been in the past weeks, you’re beginning to crave more downtime and the comfort of familiar settings.
After the New Moon on the 24th, wonderful energy is with you for starting fresh with family or for bringing more harmony into your home and personal life. It’s about improving your support system and the support you give to others, as well as paying particular attention to home matters and your personal life.
Gemini
Overview coming soon.
Cancer
In July, the focus is often on self-development, dear Cancer, and you can be devoted to achieving your personal goals. Later in the month, you’ll enjoy settling in, building, and planning. You have a great deal of energy to pursue your interests, and you have boosted appeal, even if it’s a quiet, sometimes detached energy right now. Your senses are strong for opportunities emerging along the lines of learning, studies, communication, and personal projects.
While this is a month of personal power each year, a reflective turn is possible with Venus in your privacy sector from the 4th to the 30th. This Venus transit primarily affects your pleasures, love, and taste, encouraging you to spend more time alone, go under the radar in certain areas of life, and sort out or process your feelings.
As such, while you have a strong personal presence in July, you can be rather hard to get in touch with on some levels. Whether this translates as being a little hard to get, withdrawn, or aloof, it’s time to look behind you so that you can better see your next step forward. External or material achievement assumes less significance to you than what’s happening in your private life for much of the month. You may be a little tentative about your affections or pastimes. Perhaps you instinctively sense that you’re not quite ready for brand-new beginnings in some areas. On other levels, you’re raring to go, and reinventing yourself is a real possibility if you need some fresh energy. Yes, you’re still reflecting and considering your next step, but you have more power than usual to take charge and make an impact. You’re also well-positioned to leave an unhappy situation behind you.
Much is happening beneath the surface or behind the scenes with your feelings and desires. While you can be wrestling with some decisions, you can be a real dynamo with a bit of extra solitude and time to yourself. It’s best to divide your time effectively.
Uranus makes a big move this month: it enters your privacy sector. It’s a major shift, although this transit doesn’t become consistent until April 2026 and beyond. Nevertheless, your dreaming world is becoming more vivid and intuition exceptionally active. Listen to your inner voice! Now and in the coming years, this Uranus transit can shake things up with matters related to the past and your privacy. Things may come to light that help you let go of negative attachments that have been keeping you from growing and thriving. Holding on tightly to your things and ideas may be a result of your fear of changes taking place in your social life. Watch for impulsiveness now, but also consider ways to move forward and upward.
Neptune, Saturn, and Chiron all turn retrograde this month, and all are currently guests in your solar tenth house! Consider that your bigger ideas, especially those related to your life path, career, responsibilities, and status, require more time, refinement, and definition before they should be set into motion. Your feelings about your career path or reputation are shifting. What feels like a lack of direction can work in your favor as you learn what you truly want.
The Full Moon on the 10th brings a personal project or relationship to bloom. Personal epiphanies and revelations about relationships are likely to occur.
Mercury’s retrograde begins on the 18th and runs until August 11th. This means some review is necessary before moving forward, particularly regarding your finances. It’s a period for looking to the past for answers to current problems or delaying some matters while you make changes and refinements, especially concerning finances and material possessions. This retrograde turn reinforces the idea that you’ll do well for yourself if you give yourself the room and space to get to conclusions.
This month, there is a strong focus on your personality and your personal plans. Fortunately, support for these is forthcoming. Whether you’re catching up or getting ahead, efforts to learn can be very successful now. New ways to connect or get places you need to go can emerge, and these may very well lead to opportunities and improvements.
The Sun leaves your sign and enters your resources sector on the 22nd, turning your focus more squarely on your practical affairs, money matters, and building or developing your projects and resources. You pour more energy into building your money, things, and talents. Taking care of valuables and attending to prized personal possessions can be a priority. You can be exceptionally motivated to improve your financial state after the New Moon on the 24th. However, new initiatives may require some review and extra thought before moving forward, as Mercury is still retrograde in your finances sector.
From the 30th forward, Venus transits your sign, bringing pleasant attention your way. Magnetism is powerful–you’re turning heads.
Leo
July brings a stronger focus on the past, emotional issues, and your inner world, dear Leo, although you’re building towards a far more active and involved phase as the month progresses. The month can be a slow burn, but it revs up as you go along. Fortunately, some time taken to rest and reflect this month can be time well spent. Venus enters your social sector on the 4th, and the Sun moves into your sign on the 22nd, and your connections and confidence are building.
If you need to handle a private matter or deal with an ending or a problem from the past, the first week of July is a powerful time. The mighty Sun is in a hidden area of your solar chart until the 22nd, suggesting you need personal downtime as you wind down your solar year and prepare for the next one. Still, you easily draw upon your memory or wisdom to solve a problem or advance a goal. This can be a month of significant emotional breakthroughs. It’s a time for learning more about yourself, your heart, and the people closest to you. This period can be a time of letting go of something you no longer need or turning the other cheek. Either way, it can be liberating. It’s a good time for winding down, healing, and processing. Mercury’s retrograde in your sign from the 18th also suggests some withdrawal and introspection.
With Venus in your social sector from the 4th to the 30th, however, you are balancing your attention to your private life and social life well. While some introspection is great for you now, Venus here enhances your appeal and enjoyment of others. Friendships or your popularity can receive a nice boost. You are more willing than usual to accommodate, change, and grow in your interactions and are far less likely to stick with old patterns that are no longer effective. Business income is in better shape. You have more charisma with friends and groups. While you are keeping to yourself in many ways, this does not affect your appeal. In fact, others are drawn to you more than usual.
A major sign change punctuates this: Uranus moves into this same sector that rules community, networking, your social life, and your happiness goals. Keep in mind that Uranus travels through a zodiac sign for about seven years, and for the most part, until 2033, Uranus will be shaking up the way you see your place in the community. A preview of these themes begins this month and will run until November.
In the coming months (and later, years), friendships and group associations can be unpredictable and unusual, but also inspiring and exciting. You’ll be attracting people who are free-spirited, individualistic, and a bit eccentric. Your social life is bound to be very colorful. Note that this influence kicks in more consistently from April 2026 forward. Stimulating changes are on the horizon in the realms of friendships, group connections, and business plans. Experimentation becomes increasingly important to you as you feel adventurous and courageous. For some, changes in your career direction bring new or different friends and groups into your life.
The Full Moon on the 10th reminds you of the need to find a work-rest balance. It calls you to action, mainly to take better care of daily routines, wellness, and work matters.
You’re likely to derive much satisfaction from accomplishing something tangible and measurable this month, even with a stronger spiritual/inner life focus. You find it easier to pick and choose your activities to your benefit.
Neptune, Saturn, and Chiron are all visitors to your spirit sector, and each one turns retrograde this month! As such, signals are strong to slow down and reassess or consider your larger plans and goals. It’s not the time to rush decisions. Avoid taking on more when you should really be thinking of simplifying, particularly with studies, special interests, travel, and sharing. Try to tackle things one at a time rather than wear yourself out. As you advance, you’ll be realigning with beliefs and pursuits that reflect your current growth.
Mercury turns retrograde in your sign on the 18th, signaling a need to look back before moving forward. There can be information clogs until next month, but the pause can help you catch up and make different choices and essential edits. Make sure that the words you use to express yourself are constructive.
There will be times when pausing and allowing your emotions to catch up with your mind can serve you well. As such, delays occurring now can be blessings in disguise.
The Sun in your sign from the 22nd onward boosts your sense of personal power and increases your influence and presence. It also highlights the importance of sharing your ideas and harnessing the power of words to enhance your life. It’s a fine time to consider new personal initiatives. You’re particularly noticeable, prouder, and more confident or coming across with more personal strength at this time.
The New Moon on the 24th is in your sign, pointing to a brand-new beginning. Since Mercury remains retrograde until August 11th, take things slowly as you consider ways to reinvent or renew yourself. There’s an ethereal, fascinating quality to your personality that draws people to you.
Retrograde Mercury aligns with the Sun in your sign on the 31st, making it a significant time to see recent decisions or plans in a new light. You have more clout and personal presence, but there can be some mystery surrounding you, especially with Venus moving into your privacy sector around the same time, encouraging you to go within. It’s a potentially brilliant time for rethinking your life in crucial ways. It’s also strong for doing something with your ideas, even if it’s not about new launches. Laying the groundwork is exciting, even in the absence of a solid plan.
Virgo
July is strong for your social life, personal interests, and initiative, dear Virgo. People are more often than not helpful and supportive of you. At the same time, you’re expressing your independence with flair, and you may very well surprise others with the changes you’re making or the “new you” you’re displaying! You’re looking for inspiration.
Your focus is often on your social life and happiness goals this month, and these are areas of more activity and excitement. Others see you in a good light, and you enjoy your responsibilities, work, or reputation more than usual. Even with a busy calendar, you seem to enjoy even the most hectic moments, but as the month advances, you take more and more time for yourself to unwind, process, and reflect.
Although you are not moving forward quickly in many other life departments quite yet, events behind the scenes are at play, conspiring to get you back into high gear. You’ll have plenty of opportunities to boost your spirits and emotional health through social connections, networking, healing activities, rest, and loving or supportive relationships. July also offers plenty of opportunities to you as Mars transits your sign, endowing you with more confidence and vitality. You can be more assertive than usual.
Venus moves to the top of your solar chart on the 4th and, until the 30th, helps elevate your reputation, goals, and responsibilities. This period is marked by fruitful cooperation, which brings its share of rewards. Your public image and professional endeavors benefit greatly from this influence. You project your value and worth to associates and those in authority, which can positively impact your income, if not now, down the road. You’re selling yourself in your career this month, and you have a particular influence on others.
Uranus moves into the same house, and it’s a big move since Uranus spends about seven years in a sector. In fact, it can be a once-in-a-lifetime transit. This year, we get a preview of this energy from July to November, after which this energy will return more consistently starting in April 2026. This long-term transit suggests some unpredictability in your career, professional projects, reputation, or public image; however, these areas can also be highly stimulating and innovative. You can bring fresh insight to your work. Work or health goals can spur you on now. Significant changes are in the works! For example, during this seven-year Uranus transit, you may take an unexpected turn or direction with your work. Sudden or unforeseen career opportunities are possible, perhaps even discovering your “true calling.”
Romantic feelings and opportunities heighten around the 10th. You’re in excellent shape for excitement in your social or romantic life as feelings bloom. There can be powerful epiphanies and a significant turning point in a relationship or with a project close to your heart. Issues related to love, joy, a passion project, creative pursuits, or children can be at the forefront now.
Retrograde Mercury in your soul sector from the 18th can point to some thought-provoking moments. It can be a time for setting things right after a past error or for finally dealing with something that has been causing you to feel guilty. Watch for deceptiveness, as you are a little more vulnerable than usual to being taken advantage of. There are many opportunities for good conversations this month, particularly about past matters, resolving problems, and forgiveness. There are also treasures to be found in old projects, studies, and interests.
It’s a time for redoing and refining work that is already underway, for journaling, and for backtracking over the past to find answers that were not obvious then but entirely relevant now.
Neptune, Saturn, and Chiron, all visitors in your solar eighth house, turn retrograde this month! These shifts encourage you to slow down and think about your priorities. You’ll be reconsidering or reassessing your understanding of a relationship, support, or financial matters, ultimately gaining a deeper perspective on these matters.
From the 22nd, you’re in a Sun transit best used for emotional renewal, tying up loose ends, and laying low. The need to carve out some time for yourself becomes evident, and the New Moon on the 24th can nudge you forward along these lines. A past topic can be reawakened as new insight emerges. You might discover a hidden resource or develop an idea that helps you use your resources in exciting ways.
Lovely Venus heads into your social sector on the 30th, and you’re feeling personally hopeful, emotionally satisfied, and socially popular. Friendships might be renewed or revitalized. Listen to your intuition on the 31st, when ideas for the future can be golden. You may not know all the details yet, but that’s just fine–it’s about the vision now.
Libra
July’s energies often motivate you to make solid plans that give you a stronger sense of purpose and direction, dear Libra. With the Sun at the top of your solar chart until the 22nd, you’re taking charge of your life! You’re more noticeable and quite readily make your mark. At the same time, lovely Venus moves in harmony with your sign much of the month, boosting your appeal and enjoyment.
Career and responsibilities are more demanding, or you’re paying these things more attention. You’re willing to put in the legwork and just the right amount of extra effort to shine–or even outshine–past performance.
Venus, in a compatible sign most of the month (from the 4th to the 30th), attracts rather than pursues, so you have both yin and yang energies going for you now. Things feel rather balanced. Venus here brings your feelings and affections into the light after weeks of reflection. You’re more likely to embrace the moment and follow your heart.
This position of Venus can also highlight and enhance your naturally attractive qualities. You are looking for more unique and exciting experiences and ideas. Connecting with others through your interests is in the spotlight. Indeed, your need is stronger to live and love more freely rather than spend too much time worrying about problems. Publishing can be profitable. The connections you make with people from diverse backgrounds or with differing beliefs can stand out as especially enjoyable and beneficial.
While the month does push you to reach your goals, it’s also strong for connecting with others in affirming, positive, and helpful ways. You might enjoy interesting topics, debates, or educational entertainment. Studies can be enjoyable, and you tend to gravitate toward people who are genuine, generous, and honest.
Uranus moves into the same area of your solar chart shortly after Venus does but will be a guest for much longer. It’s such a significant event because Uranus spends about seven years in a sign. This transit won’t yet be consistent (it will retreat in November and then resume in April 2026), but it will be with you for many years to come. You may experience a spiritual awakening or a call to see the world–or perhaps even to save it! Learning needs to be exciting or cutting-edge to keep your interest during this new phase of your life. Life experiences are unpredictable and exciting. It’s a period for embracing change. The desire to take a new course, travel, or embark on new experiences can arise suddenly as you yearn for new experiences.
Mercury’s retrograde from the 18th onward and Mars in your hidden sector all month are two big reasons for laying low. Brand-new ventures may need to wait, but this doesn’t mean you can’t get a lot done. Efforts to cut back or rebuild can be especially fruitful. Obstacles can be overcome more easily with determination.
The desire to rid yourself of certain unpleasant elements of the past is strong. Your dreaming world is vivid, and your intuition is exceptionally active this month. Listen to your inner voice! You’re filled with inner courage, and the desire to take more control of your life is compelling–perhaps often dominating. The goal should be self-empowerment now. It’s important to respect any prompts you receive to rest.
While you’re at a yearly peak of career and reputation activity this month, much is going on in your social life and on the home front. Regarding home, family, and work-family balance, the Full Moon on the 10th brings buried, ignored, or hidden matters to the surface. The degree to which this is disruptive depends on how deeply you’ve buried problems! Realizations and discoveries in your career and home life can prompt you to make big, positive changes in your personal life.
Neptune, Saturn, and Chiron are all visiting your partnership sector, and all turn retrograde this month! It’s best to take the time to think about your priorities, particularly related to partnerships and significant people in your life. You may need to revise your outlook or approach. If you experience a temporary lull or loss of faith in a dream or relationship, it can lead to critical introspection as you come to terms with what you truly want from a person or a relationship.
Once Mercury turns retrograde on the 18th, editing and refining current projects becomes preferable to new endeavors. There can be a need to review your connections and associations. Past friendships can play a stronger role in your life. There may be a need to revisit old conversations or problems. However, this apparent backtracking can lead to significant refinements and the strengthening of areas that were once on shaky ground–perhaps you didn’t even know about the holes, and now you’re taking care of them.
The Sun moves into your friendship sector on the 22nd, and a New Moon occurs there just two days later. Your social life comes into stronger focus. These events pull your attention to happiness goals, friendships, and networking. While Mercury remains retrograde in this area of your solar chart, necessitating a slower pace, it’s a powerful period for taking a fresh, new look and approach to your friendships and long-term goals.
Venus heads into your career and reputation sector on the 30th, helping boost your reputation and enjoyment in pursuing your more worldly goals or ambitions.
Scorpio
July begins with a strong desire for different activities and mental stimulation, dear Scorpio. You enjoy more enthusiasm and desire for new ideas, although, at times, there can be a sense of being held back as your attention is often demanded elsewhere. The month gets more serious or business-oriented as it advances. It’s a fine period for learning, breaking the routine, and reaching a little higher. You recognize the need to live your life more fully, although restlessness can sometimes predominate until you find your way.
This is a good time for working on projects you want to publish or for expanding your understanding of a subject. You aim to satisfy your desire for diverse experiences by incorporating new or varied activities into your daily routines this month. Transits inspire you to seek a sense of mission or purpose, whether it involves learning new things, broadening your horizons, reaching a little higher for your goals, publishing, or promotion.
Venus spends much of the month in your solar eighth house (from the 4th to the 30th), and you seek more depth from your projects, activities, and relationships. You’re exceptionally skilled at resolving differences during this cycle. Backing or support may be easier to come by, or you might arrive at an attractive arrangement. People are drawn to you and find you intriguing. Someone might entrust you with a secret.
You can be motivated by research, a relationship, or passion projects this month. Peaceful agreements regarding money, power, and sharing with a partner, ex-partner, creditor, or debtor can have significant implications this month.
Teamwork, group projects, friendships, and communications are all areas of your chart that are often animated this month. It’s a good time to empower yourself through activities related to making connections and getting results from groups and networks. You’re also making a strong and effective impression on others!
Still, with Venus in your intimacy sector clashing with Mars in your friendship sector, there can be inner conflicts to deal with or clashes with someone in your life. Someone may be giving too much and getting too little in return. If you need to get things out of your system, you might find you dare to do so now.
Around the Full Moon on the 10th, a significant project may culminate, a new method of transportation may emerge, or updates to equipment and devices may occur. These changes stimulate broad shifts in your approach to the world, opening up new opportunities as well.
Career and reputation matters can get a little tricky in the second half of the month, but they’re also very often a satisfying area of focus! These matters become increasingly important to your sense of well-being. Mercury turns retrograde on the 18th, indicating a need to reassess goals. You may need to backtrack over work that you thought you’d completed, which eventually works to your advantage, as you’ll be better prepared for future opportunities. It may be wise to stick to projects already underway rather than taking on brand-new endeavors. Watch for slowdowns or mistakes that come from pushing things forward too soon. Some delays or mix-ups are possible, but look for opportunities to make valuable refinements and changes. It can be worthwhile to look to the past for insights on how to manage current responsibilities, observe trends, and reconsider past plans and projects.
Uranus moves into your solar eighth house this month, marking a significant event. While Uranus is not entirely finished its transit of your partnership sector (the planet will retreat to complete it from November 2025 to April 2026), you’re beginning to feel some important shifts now. Close relationships with others are lively under this influence. Sudden developments in the financial or emotional support you receive are possible. Your private world and shared resources can be unpredictable and unusual with Uranus here for a lengthy visit, but also inspiring and exciting. Your intimate life and support systems become more open. These can be the wildcard areas of life, but they are also highly stimulating and innovative in the months and years to come.
You may be learning a lesson in detachment during this new Uranus cycle – sudden changes in the support you receive from others or outside sources can nudge you to become more independent financially. Prepare yourself for fluctuations by settling as many debts as possible and by working to boost your personal income. This can also be a highly creative time for handling money, talents, and relationships. The important thing with this transit is to open up to alternative, new, progressive, or non-traditional ways of doing things without throwing practical considerations out in the process.
Neptune, Saturn, and Chiron all turn retrograde this month, and all are currently transiting your sector of work, health, and daily routines! As such, watch for errors or slowdowns in these areas, but look forward to reassessing things in these life departments. There can be some questions in your mind about your commitment to your job, whether it’s the line of work, the company you work for, or the tasks required of you. If your daily life has been chaotic, you’ll feel some of the consequences now, which can prompt you to reconsider some of your recent pursuits or plans. Keep in mind that problem areas may feel bigger than life temporarily as they draw your attention to what’s missing. The retrograde periods are strong for gathering intel.
As July advances, your ambitions and sense of responsibility come to the forefront. The Sun heads to the top of your solar chart on the 22nd, and you, similarly, are aiming high. Your ambition is stirring, and your responsibilities are more strongly on your mind. You’re giving more attention to your career, responsibilities, reputation, and long-term goals. There can be an achievement or an increased desire to perform and excel. A New Moon in this sector occurs on the 24th, and you get a strong sense that it’s time to approach these life departments with fresh eyes.
On the 30th, Venus moves into the light and in harmony with your sign, and there can be some nice wins that put you in a very optimistic mood as you end the month.
Sagittarius
July’s energies spotlight your need for inner change, growth, transformation, and self-mastery, dear Sagittarius. Your conviction to rid yourself of bad habits is potent. Still, as the month advances, your focus turns outward. Until then, the month slow-drips plenty of helpful boosts. You’re in fine shape for sorting out your duties, organizing your personal and workspace, and researching your options.
Your inner world is a strong draw this month, but you’re also called to duty. You are tuned in to the deeper issues and looking beyond the surface of matters for answers, but you’re also in a stage where you’re more actively pursuing your more worldly goals. You are especially dynamic with business, career, and life plans this month, with Mars at the top of your solar chart. You’re revving up and making things happen. Keeping in mind that it’s time to put in the necessary groundwork, you’ll accomplish a great deal.
The month can bring opportunities to expand your finances, possibly through a partner, promoting others’ talents, or handling others’ resources. While it’s not an “all systems go” period, it’s a time when you can collect vital intel. A key relationship might deepen, or you find more time to pour your energy into a passion project. Make it a goal to include people you trust and accept help if you need it. There can be a settlement, a bonus, or an interest in your resources and talents.
Close relationships tend to fare exceptionally well for you in July. Venus spends much of the month in your partnership sector (from the 4th to the 30th), inclining you to put more loving attention into your interactions. The rewards for doing so are significant. Others see you in a very positive light.
Just a few days after Venus enters your partnership sector, Uranus moves in. While it’s an interrupted transit, as in it completes the transit in multiple steps, this Uranus transit will be in effect for the most part until 2033! This year, it happens from July 7th to November 7th. During this cycle, partnerships and relationships with others can be unpredictable and unusual but also inspiring and exciting. You are attracted to (or attracting) people who are free-spirited, individualistic, and possibly even eccentric or unstable as close partners during this period, or you draw these types of people into your experience. This transit will teach you about giving freedom to others, which isn’t always easy. Trying to force convention or tradition on partnerships will be a lesson in frustration during this period. This influence will take effect more consistently from April 2026 onward.
The month’s Full Moon on the 10th puts you in good shape for financial discoveries and adjustments. You’re recognizing your worth or value and seeking out your rightful share! A business deal or project may now come to fruition. Ownership, sharing, power, and financial matters can be subject to change or improvement.
There can be some delays or complications during Mercury’s retrograde from the 18th forward (until August 11th). You have a strong interest in broadening your mental experiences all month and finding expression of your personality through them, perhaps through education or exploring different topics. However, there can be problems with delays with Mercury retrograde. It may be better to wait until you have all the necessary information before making important decisions.
Mercury’s retrograde indicates the need to slow down before pushing forward. You’ll benefit from looking at things from a new or different perspective, however, so even if blocks are irritating, you might get the chance to reconsider specific plans to your advantage. Mercury retrograde periods can feel a little slow, but they’re times for catching up in areas where you were pushing too far ahead, so it’s about restoring balance rather than true slowdowns. Brand-new endeavors may not get off the ground, but work in progress can benefit significantly from your attention now.
Still, Neptune, Saturn, and Chiron, all transiting your sector of creativity, pleasure, and romance, all turn retrograde this month! As such, there can be a natural need to step back just a little from certain creative or love pursuits to gain perspective. As you let things flow, you’ll better understand which of your dreams and pursuits are worth your time and energy. Initially, you can experience a motivation dip, signaling that you need to look for a different source of inspiration.
The Sun moves into harmony with your sign and into your spirit sector on the 22nd, launching a month-long cycle in which you feel more spirited, vibrant, and connected to your dreams and goals. You’re outgoing or adventurous, and a breath of fresh air on mental levels is vital for your well-being. You crave more changes of scenery and mental refreshment. The New Moon on the 24th reminds you to take a fresh approach to these life departments. On the 30th, Venus enters your solar eighth house, and you also find some pleasure in private moments and pleasures, as well as a more concentrated focus on your favorite people and activities.
Capricorn
You’re in fine shape for relationships, hobbies, romance, entertainment, and special channels for self-expression in July, dear Capricorn. You dare to express yourself more freely, and your open spirit can bring new opportunities into your life. You’re combining your enterprising nature with a slightly bolder approach, bringing in new opportunities.
A major focus this month is your relationships. Sorting out problems and enjoying special moments with people in your life are satisfying activities in their own right, and they can also positively impact various aspects of your life. You also find more joy in your daily life and self-care for much of the month, improving the chances of a well-balanced period.
Venus moves through your work and health sector much of the month (from the 4th to the 30th). It’s a fine time to smooth over problem areas with your daily routines. Social or love opportunities may emerge as you pursue your work or health goals. Most importantly, you’re ready to create a better environment in your everyday life. Enjoying your work, chores, or routines can be in the spotlight. Combining work and play comes naturally and works well for you. There can be the excitement of redesigning or reorganizing your personal space.
Significant changes are on the horizon, affecting your daily life, routines, habits, and work due to Uranus moving into your solar sixth house just days after Venus moves in. You can be excited about new wellness programs that give you a sense of having a new lease on life. The temptation to break out of monotony or other lifeless aspects of a job is intense. Changes in routine can be in the spotlight. This Uranus transit is lengthy, although we’re getting only a hint of it this year (from July 7th to November 7th). With this transit, your work, chores, and daily routines can be unpredictable and unusual but also inspiring and exciting. You can bring fresh insight to your work, although you might be impatient with rules and schedules. Daily routines can be chaotic, and your energy and motivation levels tend to fluctuate as you struggle with inspiration.
Ultimately, you are looking for a more authentic expression of yourself through your work and routines, and while it can be a little chaotic for now, you are learning to tap into your “inner genius.” Do your best to keep open to change and current developments regarding your work or health. Staying up-to-date with current developments in your field gives you a distinct advantage. This Uranus transit will kick in more consistently from April 2026 onward, but a preview of this energy begins now.
A personal project or matter reaches a head around the 10th when the Full Moon occurs in your sign. You can consider this time a personal awakening of sorts, and a significant person in your life or relationship status plays a large role in this. This can even be a situation in which you are motivated to do your best by a competitor or opponent. Observe, take notes, and allow your mind to open. It’s a good time to see yourself through others’ eyes and find ways to bring more balance and harmony to your life in general.
Mercury is either retrograde or in its retrograde shadow all month, so put off new contracts and enterprises, but keep yourself active reviewing and revising, adjusting and tweaking. Pay special attention to information surfacing and new insights into relationships on the 31st. You could be coming to new conclusions about past relationships or reconnecting with a person from your past. There can be a need to take a hard look at both spending and debts this month, or you could be waiting for information that seems clogged temporarily. This energy might manifest on an intimate level, and you may question issues of sharing, fairness, and power dynamics in a partnership, as you can now see significant discrepancies.
Neptune, Saturn, and Chiron are all visiting your sector of home base, family, and heart, but in July, all three bodies turn retrograde! Some initiatives in these life departments may slow down. Temporarily, until you sort things through, some of your commitments could seem less meaningful, which, by extension, can make them feel more challenging to fulfill. Domestic chores or problems in the family dynamic can weigh heavily on your mind, for example. It’s a time for going within and examining your intentions and frustrations. Pulling back from some projects or dreams can be strategic. Give yourself extra time to think, imagine, and reflect.
Even if some communication channels seem less effective in the second half of the month, the situation can motivate you to find new and creative ways to get your message across.
From the 22nd forward, there can be a surprising or sudden show of support, emotional or financial, or an unanticipated financial matter to manage. The Sun’s move into house eight in your solar chart brings a need for greater depth in your relationships and activities. A New Moon on the 24th suggests a fresh approach to these matters is now in order. This can be about moving along a new path, but it can also be about putting a mental focus behind you, particularly if you’ve been dwelling on a problem that has drained you of energy and kept you stuck in the past.
It’s also a beautiful time for applying yourself to projects that excite you. You can come into a resource that helps you work through a problem area or reach your goals.
The 30th brings Venus into your partnership sector — a happy placement that boosts your social life for several weeks. You’ll appreciate that your relationships are smooth sailing, allowing you to pursue your worldly or career goals with greater confidence.
Aquarius
July holds good energy for getting your routines in order and making important adjustments and edits, dear Aquarius. Attempting to push ahead with new initiatives is not advised for now, however, as there can also be some complications involved, although they’re nothing you can’t handle. The month should be busy, with extra details to manage before you can feel that you are truly done and ready to move forward.
Entirely new endeavors may be on the horizon, but for now, you’ll be in a better place if you focus on works in progress. There may very well be some gems from the past that you overlooked and are now seeing in a new light. Of course, you’ll need to approach things differently to get different results, but oftentimes, it’s the timing that was off. The recycling of projects and ideas can be extraordinarily successful now.
You begin July quite motivated to take charge of your health, self-care initiatives, and duties or work. There may be a project in development that consumes much of your attention, or you could be handling matters that help you get more organized and feel more in control of your life. Moving ahead with work, chores, and wellness routines and improvements is empowering. The focus is on getting organized and back on track.
This can also be a highly dynamic time for handling money, talents, and relationships. Your intimate life and inner world are animated this month. Mars doesn’t appreciate facades, slow processes, or ignoring problems, so wherever it goes, there can be some trailblazing and perhaps rude awakenings at times, but also some practical truths and resolutions to challenges. Ownership, debts, support, or power dynamics problems might come to a head in July with Mars in your solar eighth house all month, but for the most part, you’re taking charge and in the lead in these areas. You may be uncovering interesting information now, and research of all kinds can be highly beneficial. You can draw upon the inner courage to address an issue or face the elephant in the room.
Emotions run high around the Full Moon on the 10th, and events might put you in close touch with your heart and deepest feelings. Be cautious if you need to keep something confidential – things can have a way of coming to light at this time, possibly putting you in an awkward position. Even so, there can be an incredible feeling of freedom associated with letting go of a secret or fear. You are the best judge of this one! If you have any seriously unresolved issues, now is the time to address them.
You’re also finding the time to pursue other interests and activities that help nourish your soul. Your romantic or creative life is brighter and happier, and you get special help from Venus, who spends most of the month in harmony with your sign (from the 4th to the 30th), boosting your appeal and personal confidence and perhaps winning you some admirers. Your magnetism and sense of fun are strong. You not only share your affection more freely, but you also receive love and compliments more confidently.
Even more significant is Uranus’ move into your solar fifth house a few days after Venus moves in. This transit occurs from now until November 7th, and then April 2026 forward, and it’s a long one! Unpredictable, unusual, exciting, and unreliable are all possible adjectives we can assign to romance, dating, hobbies, creative pursuits, entertainment, self-expression, children, and leisure or playtime. This influence can play out in various ways. For example, you may be attracted to (or you’re attracting) people who are free-spirited, individualistic, and possibly even eccentric on a romantic level or people who tend to bring change into your life. Or, you may be tapping into your inner genius when it comes to expressing yourself creatively, and this can be a highly inventive time. Unusual opportunities to meet people pop up, or unconventional love affairs can be a new thing for you. All in all, it’s a good time for expressing yourself more freely. You may be very eager to march to the beat of your drum. Taking creative or romantic chances is possible now.
Look to the past for ideas and inspiration and focus on editing and improving from the 18th forward, when Mercury is retrograde. It’s a strong time for revising and perfecting. Take the time to work hard at something you love or something you believe in, as you can make significant progress. There can be slowdowns or delays related to a significant person in your life.
Neptune, Saturn, and Chiron all turn retrograde this month, and they’re currently visiting your sector of communication and transportation. Avoid rushing decisions about these matters. If you’re feeling unfulfilled or disappointed with your current connections and interests, it may be a signal to seek new sources of inspiration. Or, feeling unsettled can help redirect you along a more authentic path. You’ll have plenty of time to rebuild, ideally on a firmer foundation, in the months ahead.
The 22nd brings the Sun into your partnership sector, and a New Moon occurs just two days later. Earlier in July, you may have begun to learn and understand a partner’s truth, and you have more learning to do in this regard next month. Now is the time to commit to improving existing relationships. Besides recognizing the need for support and companionship, you’re finding ways to better balance and smooth out your life. You’re well-positioned to attract someone’s support and confidence.
Listen to your intuition on the 31st, when ideas for the future can be golden. You may not know all the details just yet, but that’s perfectly fine – it’s more about the vision now. You benefit from the ability to see the dysfunctional elements of the past, and new insight can nudge you along a different path. A partner can have much to contribute now, or you might make significant mental discoveries through a one-on-one conversation.
Pisces
July is filled with creative, romantic, and heartwarming themes for you, dear Pisces. You find it especially easy to pursue your desires, and your propositions are well-received. Your social life is likely to improve significantly this month. As the month advances, your focus increasingly turns to work and practical matters, but a focus on your personal life sticks with you.
Recreation, romance, creativity, hobbies, or children can be sources of increased pride, and involvement in these areas of life is on the rise now. It’s a month to find ways to enjoy and express yourself more fully and connect with your heart. Your true colors positively shine, and you have an aura about you that expresses vibrant, healing energy. At the same time, it’s important to lay low, observe, and tie up loose ends.
July can be a lively period for relationships. Watch for rash moves, reminding yourself that true desires last and don’t have a short shelf life or timetable. You might find the courage to address a problem area with someone. Shared activities can prosper, and teamwork or partnering up to accomplish a goal or make a decision can be particularly effective. You are determined to get over a hump.
With Venus moving into your solar fourth house on the 4th, you’re well-positioned to enjoy your domestic world in July. Venus warms this area of your solar chart for most of the month–until the 30th–softening any rough edges around the home. You seek more harmony, comfort, beauty, and balance in your domestic world. Safety, prosperity, and familiarity drive your love life, spending habits, and pastimes or pleasures. Real estate and living arrangement matters are currently favorable. You gain inspiration from deeper connections with a person or project, private matters, family connections, and realizations or discoveries about psychological issues.
Just a few days later, Uranus moves into this area of your solar chart, and it’s a big move! Uranus spends about seven years in a sign, and although this transit will occur in steps, you’re getting a real taste for this influence that will be with you for many years. This lengthy transit brings new and exciting energy to your domestic life. Opportunities to move, expand, or change things up come out of the blue.
Although life may not feel as predictable as it used to, the changes occurring during this transit will stimulate you and propel you forward. You may be seeking more freedom now, and if your current setup feels confining or limiting, you’ll need to make adjustments. Your attitude towards the past and traditions is sure to go through changes, too. You’ll be taking steps towards carving out an identity that better suits and represents you.
The Full Moon on the 10th can bring sudden or unexpected social activity and epiphanies. It can also be a time to discover your true feelings about a friendship or project. You’ve been quite preoccupied with your personal life, and now you’re being pulled out of your routine, nudging you towards a better balance.
Mercury spends the month in your work and health sector and, on the 18th, turns retrograde. It’s a time to backtrack and review what needs to be changed or improved in these areas. Still, you can feel in the dark in spots as you wait for information that feels clogged. Going over past errors, redoing projects, smoothing over differences on the job, getting on track with health and fitness – all of these matters occupy your mind and your time this month. It might feel as if things are stalling or even moving backward, but in fact, you have the chance to make important refinements to your plans. You’ll also benefit from catching your breath and reviewing recent projects.
Neptune, Saturn, and Chiron are all visiting your sector of money and resources, and in July, all three bodies turn retrograde! As such, slowing down to get things right makes sense. There can be some temporary heaviness or confusion when it comes to financial matters. However, you put yourself in great shape if you take things a step at a time. The months ahead are a strong time for rethinking business or financial matters, leading to a new perspective. Ultimately, you’re seeking inspiration, and if you’ve been sourcing it from the wrong places, a redirection might be in order.
The 22nd amplifies the work and health theme as the Sun moves into this area of your solar chart. You’ll focus on building skills, improving your daily routines, and ditching bad habits in the month following this date. You invest more time and energy into your work and wellness programs. Especially after the New Moon on the 24th, you see old routines, work projects, and ventures in a brand-new light. While it’s not yet the time for new launches, it can be a turning point with thinking on these matters, putting you on the path towards increased clarity. A path is clearing towards better work conditions and daily routines.
Venus moves into harmony with your sign on the 30th, boosting the pleasure factor in your life as you close out July.
