July 2025 Astrology

If I had to summarise July in one sentence, it would be: 𝑶𝒍𝒅 𝒌𝒆𝒚𝒔 𝒅𝒐𝒏'𝒕 𝒐𝒑𝒆𝒏 𝒏𝒆𝒘 𝒅𝒐𝒐𝒓𝒔.

Remember this winter's Piscean flooding cleanse that cleared massive amounts of long-overdue, stuck karma? How has this release benefited you? How much have you changed since then? How are you liking this new version of you?

Remember these questions as you navigate July and the rest of 2025. Retrograde season is here. The saga of outer planets changing signs is now complete. We got a taste of what lies ahead beyond 2025. One by one, they will be retrograding back into their previous signs, starting with Neptune.

This means that old themes, wounds, emotions, desires, longings and patterns will be coming to the surface. July will have us dwelling on the past (Cancer season), but now isn't the time to fall back into old loops. What was cleared in January-March is gone for good, yet old wounds and grief of what was lost/sacrificed may resurface. Give yourself space and grace as you navigate these waters.

Retrogrades are about turning inward and deep introspection. This retrograde season (beyond July) is about going to the root of your patterns, clearing the last remnants of your old self that are still holding you back, and being mindful of tempting traps that could lure you back into the past.

This back and forth between past and future, endings and beginnings, is the dominant theme of 2025, as it is a Year 9, the end of a collective cycle. Furthermore, it is the Year of Snake, when we get to shed our old skin and transform. Trust in the timing of events.

Water and Fire are the dominant elements in July. Mars is the ONLY planet in an Earth sign. Mars in Virgo is here to remind you not to let your hard work go to waste and to honour how far you've come.

Venus is the most aspected planet this month. As the planet of love, she reminds us that "the love you take is equal to the love you make" (The Beatles). Chances of meeting new people are high in July (Venus & Uranus in Gemini, Pluto in Aquarius). Venus wants you to pour love into your own cup first before giving so freely to others. So this month, treat yourself with extra love and kindness. You deserve it and you'll see it be reflected back to you. 💜
