This will be a month marked by a few retrograde planets and ingresses. So let’s see what the astrological weather in July 2025 will look like.
4 VII 2025
Venus enters Gemini
Venus in Gemini will bring the energy of charming, good and positive communication. Venus is going to spend 27 days in Gemini and will transit with a sextile and trine to Leo, Aries, Libra, and Aquarius. For people with the Sun (or with significant planetary placements) in these signs in a natal chart, Venus will make it easier to enter new relationships and also to reconcile. Virgo, through which Mars is transiting currently, but also Sagittarius and Pisces will experience the Venus transit in a less favourable way. Venus will create a tense atmosphere for those with these signs strong in a natal chart.
Neptune starts retrograde
Right after Venus enters Gemini, Neptune will begin its five-month retrograde to return to Pisces for a moment. This is a time of general confusion and the need to re-evaluate your goals. Some of your dreams may no longer be your dreams, or maybe it’s time to realise they weren’t yours. It may cause the necessity to reassess various expectations.
7 VII 2025
Uranus enters Gemini
Uranus will enter Gemini for four months and then retrograde back into Taurus. This will be a trailer of a coming time of freedom of thought, opinion, and speech in the years ahead. In 2026, Uranus will enter Gemini for good.
10 VII 2025
Full Moon in Capricorn
The Full Moon at 19th degree of Capricorn, as an opposition between the Moon and the Sun, symbolises a conflict between the tender, emotional nature of Cancer and the emotionally restrained and cold Capricorn. The Moon in Capricorn is in detriment and her dispositor is Saturn placed in Aries, which is the sign of his fall. Following this, that Full Moon may be challenging and bringing tension. It may trigger conflicts, especially in relationships, where one may feel emotionally alone and unsupported by the partner.
12 VII 2025
Saturn starts retrograde
Two days after the Full Moon in Capricorn, its dispositor – Saturn begins retrograde which is going to last until the end of November 2025. Saturn is going to move back to the 26th degree of Pisces, the degree previously occupied by Saturn in April 2025. Saturn retrograde may bring either rewards or consequences based on the decisions taken at the beginning of April and work done after that time. Additionally, Saturn’s return into Pisces will continue the emotional restraint and tensions of which the Full Moon was a trailer.
18 VII 2025
Mercury starts retrograde
Few days after Saturn started his retrograde motion, Mercury is going to start retrograde too. Mercury will move back to the fifth degree of Leo. This is probably the most well known retrograde event in mainstream lifestyle magazines. The retrograde will last until August 11th and during this time it’s better to check twice contracts or any other documents before signing and since the back movement is going to happen in Leo, better to be more cautious to not say too much. Technical issues, delays, miscommunication, disruption in electronic devices are also typical during Mercury retrograde.
24 VII 2025
New Moon in Leo
The New Moon in Leo is going to form an opposition to Pluto in Aquarius and a trine to Neptune in Aries, which are two generational planets. The New Moon may cause discomfort for those with Scorpio, Taurus and Aquarius emphasised in their natal charts, especially the first few degrees.
Pluto in Aquarius already brings transformative changes for those with strong natal Aquarius, and this lunation may offer a chance for a new beginning and adjust to new circumstances.
Aries, Sagittarius, Gemini and Libra are those signs most likely to benefit from this New Moon. For individuals with these signs emphasised in their natal charts, this is a good time to close some chapters as well as to initiate something new, and it doesn’t have to be necessarily a big project.
31 VII 2025
Venus enters Cancer
Venus is going to end peregrine in Gemini and enter the sign of her triplicity which is a positive shift. Venus in Cancer, empowering positive emotions, passion and romantic feelings, should provide opportunities to care for family bonds and friendships. After entering Cancer, in August, Venus will make a square with Saturn, but this will be a temporary disruption that won’t last long. Venus is going to transit Cancer until the end of August so you can enjoy her positive influence for almost a month.
