July 2025 Horoscopes are here!

Aries (Spring Equinox-approx. April 21^st): Extra energy may be in the air as July 2025 begins, but this isn’t necessarily a good thing, as challenges with the home life and immediate family may be all too common. This may be coupled with some life areas being unclear and full of lessons. However, with creative conversations, you may discover opportunities for good fortune for the first two weeks of the month. As the month continues, the same challenges related to the home and immediate family may continue, but now they are less intense, and there may be a sense of optimism in the air. Communicating with people online may produce unexpected results, and the Mercury retrograde in Leo allows you to make the appropriate changes in the digital realm. Money may flow to you through the people you know, and your romantic life may benefit from some light-hearted gaiety. 

Taurus (Approx. April 21^st to approx. May 21^st): July 2025 may begin with many challenges and issues concerning your transformation in the face of a quickly changing social landscape. Focusing on work and health are two things you can do to build a foundation for the future. You may find your homelife and immediate family rolling along nicely and well at the moment, and there may be unexpected blessings coming your way with one or both of those areas. Communication may also be a temporary issue, as you may speak more than listen. As the month continues, the challenges continue, particularly those concerning communication, as the Mercury retrograde may impact you more than other signs. The good news for the month is that Uranus is now out of your sign, so watch for things to quiet down. 

Gemini (Approx. May 21^st to Summer Solstice): Get ready, Geminis! Uranus enters your sign this month and will be there until 2033, so the rollercoaster is about to begin and will be in effect for a while. Uranus in Gemini is a good combination overall, but it will bring unexpected situations and events, so if you have strong Gemini in your chart, you may find your ability to adapt and grow is tested. July 2025 begins with challenges in your daily workplace and maybe your diet, so it would be wise to be cautious with both. However, the first two weeks of the month are a good time to brainstorm, philosophize, and figure out where to go. As the month continues, the Mercury retrograde in Leo may surely bring up problems, but the overall experience might be smoother to handle than expected. Romance and money may come your way in the latter half of the month, so be ready to grab the opportunities when they come up. 

Cancer (Summer Solstice to approx. July 21^st): Happy birthday month, Cancers! Treat yourself as only you see best. With the sun and Jupiter traveling through your sign, you may find prosperity and learning can be had with your immediate family and home, and the emphasis for the first two weeks is on work. However, lessons may come quickly and unexpectedly, so don’t party too hard. As the month progresses, you may notice that Mercury retrograde may present minor annoyances more than life-changing situations, and if you adapt, you may be able to navigate the situations easily. The last two weeks of the month may require a lot of minor adjustments, and if you make them, you may find that unexpected good things can be produced. Your intuition may also be sharper than normal, so you can rely on it for guidance when necessary. 

Leo (Approx. July 21^st to approx. August 21^st): July 2025 begins with a lot of emphasis on personal and mass communication, but tension may be present when adapting to the changing social landscape. Challenges with romance and money are on their way out, clearing the path for good things to easily flow to you in those life areas in the latter half of the month. As the month continues and Uranus enters Gemini, it is worth noting that you may find unexpected good things come your way through your conversation skills and ability to network. You may also find your creativity gets a second wind, and if you have artistic skills, now is the time to refine them. But, the Mercury retrograde in your sign will bring a period of major clean-up, particularly relating to getting humble and seeing how your words impact others, both for good and ill. 

Virgo (Approx. August 21^st to Autumnal Equinox): July 2025 begins with more energy in the air than normal, so if you direct it carefully, you may find good things come your way in your daily work life, if you are proactive when it comes to seizing the professional opportunities that come your way. The sun and Jupiter conjunction in Cancer may bring good things to you through people you have known a long time, as well as your house, so it would be wise to make both of these priorities, knowing that whatever comes up may be resolved easily and positively. As the month progresses, things may dramatically change once Uranus enters Gemini and Mercury retrograde occurs. Uranus will be in Gemini for several years and will have a challenging interaction with your heavy Virgo placements. These challenges will be related to personal and mass communication, especially on the Internet and your digital persona. The Mercury retrograde in Leo will probably be more fiery than normal, but will require a lot of small adjustments rather than large ones. 

Libra (Autumnal Equinox to approx. October 21^st): Tension in general may be the theme of the beginning of July 2025, and one of the best ways to navigate these changes is through your spirituality and faith. Your immediate family and house may be areas of challenges, and lessons brought to your door will be more fiery than normal, but may also not be clear. The good news is that your creativity may be stronger than normal, and for the first two weeks, so will your personal communication skills. As the month continues, your immediate family and house may continue to be sources of issues, but the Mercury retrograde may bring as many opportunities as challenges. Uranus entering into Gemini may be a good time to expand in the digital realm, and with Pluto in Aquarius, you may find this is a good time to make changes when it comes to personal philosophies and social circles. The latter part of July 2025 may also be a good time to learn a new subject. 

Scorpio (Approx. October 21^st to approx. November 21^st): Communication challenges and being at odds with society may be the two prevalent themes at the beginning of July 2025, but the good news is that the communication challenges will fade for a bit in the second and third weeks of the month. Otherwise, you may find the first two weeks are good for laying a foundation for long-term growth regarding your house and long-time loved ones. The entire month is good for spiritual initiation and new, positive, emotional connections. Focusing on work and health for the first two weeks would also be wise. As July progresses, things get more interesting for a few reasons. First, Uranus’ entry into Gemini means it will alleviate the pressure from your digital life. Secondly, the Mercury retrograde in Leo may bring with it more challenges than it does for other signs. Focusing on work and your immediate family may be positive themes for the entire month, and the challenges you sense coming are annual issues around this time, so you enter into August focused on managing the Mercury retrograde. 

Sagittarius (Approx. November 21^st to Winter Solstice): July 2025 may be a complex month full of contradictions, so let’s break it down. The first half of the month may start with challenges in the workplace and regarding your health, and the wise persona adapts when appropriate. Tension may be present in daily life, money, and romance, which are precursors to the near future. However, this is also a good time to increase your creative output and maintain optimism. You may also find this is a good time to communicate with those who feed your spirit. As the month progresses, there might still be challenges in your daily work life and with your health, and now there might be tension in the air regarding love and money, particularly when these themes involve other people. Uranus moving into Gemini will create a tense opposition to your Sagittarius placements until 2033, which will have to do with the duality between Gemini and Sagittarius. Namely, being singular in focus vs. varied, and how you are in daily life vs. how you are in the digital realm. The Mercury retrograde may be a good time to heal through reviewing what has come to pass, and if you are active enough, you may be able to progress towards your long-term goals. 

Capricorn (Winter Solstice to approx. January 21^st): Other than tension regarding the family and house, you may find that July 2025 begins with many opportunities for long-term plans regarding work, health, money, and living comfortably. If you’re proactive in your daily life, you may find you can seize opportunities as they come up. However, challenges that have to do with your approach to things may also be present, namely, whether you are strong-willed or stubborn and resistant to change. As the month continues, it may feel like more of the same, and unlike other signs, the Mercury retrograde may not be as impactful as it is for them. Uranus’ entry into Gemini may also be a good thing overall, as it moves out of the earth sign Taurus, relieving you from unexpected daily occurrences that have been too common while Uranus was in Taurus. In short, you may be one of the signs least impacted by July’s changes. 

Aquarius (Approx. January 21^st to approx. February 21^st): Early May 2025 may be full of challenging communication issues and some unexpected daily events, but other than that, you may be fortunate enough to avoid many of the issues other signs face. The first two weeks of the month are a good time to rest and heal psychologically, and in general, it might feel like you are waiting for something to happen. This will come towards the middle of the month when one of your ruling planets, Uranus, enters Gemini. This ingress may bring unexpected opportunities to advance your current transformative process. You may also find the last two weeks of July a good time to indulge in your social circles and hang out with friends. But the Mercury retrograde in Leo may bring a host of challenges to your door, specifically regarding technology and dealing with things online. You may also discover that during the Mercury retrograde, it is wise to avoid starting new creative projects and instead focus on the ones you have in motion that need to be completed. Communication issues may also be present with the Mercury retrograde, but many will have to do with ego conflicts

Pisces (Approx. February 21^st to Spring Equinox): Like Sagittarius, July 2025 may start complex. Your romantic life, daily cash flow, and digital interactions may all be full of challenges, but your home and immediate family may be areas of blessings and opportunities for expansion. Your daily work life may also be full of tension at the moment, but this has been going on for a bit and will continue for several weeks. As July matures, you can expect more of the same, and that is the positive note: things don’t get worse-they stay the same. This underscores the fact that July is a good time to focus on your spirituality and emotional development, and you can see that the issue is that if you go too deep down that rabbit hole, your daily life and professional world may be negatively impacted. However, your intuition and psychic skills will be stronger than normal, so you may have to rely on invisible guidance, taking you out of your comfort zone. Uranus moving through Gemini will provide challenges and opportunities until 2033, many of which will have to do with the Internet and mass communication. The potential is there for growth, but only if you handle the challenges well.
