July 2025 Astrology Forecast: The Spark, the Spiral, and the Shift
July invites us into a month of momentum and meaning, where inner shifts burst into outer action. The sky is dynamic, activating the mutable air of Gemini and the bold fire of Leo, tempered with the weight and complexity of outer planetary stations.
Uranus enters Gemini (7th July)—a major shift that electrifies communication, learning, and how we move through the world. Both Saturn and Neptune station retrograde in Aries, holding a sacred pause on our collective visions and responsibilities. We are dancing on the edge of innovation and introspection, motion and meaning.
Add to that Mercury stationing retrograde in Leo (18th) and a nodal activation involving Mars and Venus around the 21st–22nd, and we have a month of karmic echoes, fiery expression, and breakthrough insight. The Leo New Moon (24th) arrives as a creative reset, asking us to shine not through control, but through integrity.

Key Astrological Themes for July 2025
1. Uranus Enters Gemini (7th): Revolutionary Communication Begins
This is a major collective transit: Uranus enters Gemini for the first time since 1941. As the planet of disruption, innovation, and awakening moves into the sign of ideas, connection, and duality, we are set on a seven-year path of revolutionising how we think, learn, speak, and relate.
This shift may feel subtle at first, but expect growing changes in media, education, transportation, and social thought (and, yes, AI). Venus trines Pluto the same day, helping us dig deep into relational dynamics and prepare for change with grace.
✨ Everyday Magic Suggestion: Refresh your media and mental diet. What you consume shapes your perspective—make space for inspired, soul-honouring content.
2. Saturn & Neptune Station Retrograde in Aries: Slowing the Spark
Saturn and Neptune both station retrograde within degrees of each other—Saturn on the 13th, Neptune on the 4th—in early Aries. These two won’t meet in exact conjunction until 2026, but this is the long and drawn out preparation period, asking: What ideals are you ready to structure? What illusions are you brave enough to pierce?
As the Sun trines the North Node (12th) and later both Saturn and Neptune (24th), there is a quiet reorientation of purpose happening beneath the Leo blaze.
✨ Everyday Magic Suggestion: Create a simple ritual to reflect on your long-term dream. Ask: What scaffolding does this dream need? What boundaries will help it take root?
3. Mercury Retrograde in Leo (18th): Bold Voice, Careful Words
Mercury stations retrograde in Leo mid-month, bringing a review around creative expression, visibility, and heart-centred communication. This isn’t a month for loud declarations—it’s a month for remembering your roar.
Mercury is supported by Venus (18th) and trines Saturn and Neptune at the end of the month, suggesting you can rewrite your story with care and meaning.
✨ Everyday Magic Suggestion: Reread something you wrote a long time ago—what parts of your voice have changed? What deserves to be reclaimed or refined?
4. Mars & Venus Near the Nodes (21st–22nd): Echoes of Eclipse Season
Mars in Virgo reaches the South Node (21st), while Venus in Gemini sits at the bending of the nodes (22nd). These are sensitive degrees that often trigger karmic recalibrations—what you’re ready to release (Mars) and what you’re being drawn toward (Venus).
There may be tension between devotion and distraction, discipline and desire. But it’s also an opportunity to make new choices about how you act, relate, and create.
✨ Everyday Magic Suggestion: Journal (or pull tarot cards) a conversation between your past self and your current self. Let them speak freely—see what wisdom emerges.
5. Leo Season & the Leo New Moon (24th): Courage With Heart
The Sun enters Leo on the 22nd and quickly meets Uranus (23rd), Saturn and Neptune (24th), and Pluto (25th). These powerful aspects surround the Leo New Moon (24th)—a time of creative reset and sovereign expression, but also a reckoning with power and integrity.
We are not being asked to perform. We’re being asked to show up bravely, tenderly, and truly.
✨ Everyday Magic Suggestion: Create a Leo altar with gold, sunflowers, and a handwritten list of what lights you up. Commit to at least one joyful act that honours your wholeness.
