Your Monthly Horoscopes: July 2025

• Full Moon in Capricorn (7/10): Breakthrough moment for career and public life
• New Moon in Leo (7/24): Cute first date
• Other Key Dates: 7/4, 7/13, 7/20, 7/23

July is for embracing some mundane, but necessary work. Saturn—planet of responsibility—is now in your sign, and as it stations retrograde on the 13th, you understand what your assignment is for the weeks and months ahead. Whether you’re training for a marathon or starting a new job, what gets you through this month is discipline. Remember: showing up is half the battle. This is a great time to join a run club or to do The Artist’s Way (time to upgrade your journal). You may also get some clarifying news about your work or health around the 20th that relieves you of an obligation. 

Love Horoscope: Challenges come up around the 23rd when you and the person you’re dating just can’t seem to make your schedules line up. Mercury retrograde (from the 18th) is a period meant to review what you’re looking for in romantic connections.

Money Horoscope: Uranus—planet of change and upheaval—leaves your money sector on the 7th, and for the first time since 2018, you have true clarity around what you have and what you need. You may not yet have the abundance you dream of, but the path to get there is more linear.

• Full Moon in Capricorn (7/10): Reaching the next level
• New Moon in Leo (7/24): Homecoming party
• Other Key Dates: 7/4, 7/6, 7/7, 7/18, 7/23, 7/30

July is for defining your values. The major transition you’ve been going through since 2018 has been exhausting, and you can see the wear and tear on your face. Uranus—planet of disruption—leaves your sign for Gemini on the 7th, bringing relief, and the most calm you’ve felt in years. All the stress and isolation you’ve moved through, especially recently at work, is starting to pay off. As you step into this well-earned steadiness, you’re realizing that what’s important to you might not be important to your friends and family. Your relationship to abundance is changing from the ground up, and it’s time to own your needs.

Love Horoscope: This is an aggressively creative and romantic time for you. If you’re looking for love, you might be in hot pursuit of potential partners on the apps. In the same vein, the best dates this month involve some friendly competition.

Money Horoscope: Is your rent too high? Mercury goes retrograde on the 18th, and for you, this brings a period of reflection about how much you’re spending just to keep a roof over your head. Spend some time this month adjusting your household budget.

• Full Moon in Capricorn (7/10): Life-changing therapy session
• New Moon in Leo (7/24): Fresh start with local friends
• Other Key Dates: 7/4, 7/7, 7/18, 7/31

July is a busy month for you, Gemini. Maybe you’re moving house. Maybe you’re channeling Marie Kondo and decluttering. Maybe you’re deep in family genealogy research. Whatever it is, you’ve got a lot on your mind, a lot to do, and your skills are being used at home. Clearing out space in your private life is what will open space to pursue more in your public life this fall. That said, the biggest event of the summer is that Uranus—planet of change and revolution—moves into your sign on the 7th. For the next eight years, you’ll be constantly discovering new modes of self-expression. Enjoy the freedom!

Love Horoscope: Last month brought some much needed clarity to your romantic life, and now July is all about good communication. If you’re single, this is a great month to circulate and meet new people. You might hit it off with a friend of a friend.

Money Horoscope: Cancer season (through the 22nd) is the time of year that always puts a focus on your finances. Use this time to set clear money goals for the next six months to a year. A bonus may arrive after Venus enters your money sector on the 30th.

• Full Moon in Capricorn (7/10): Contracts are signed
• New Moon in Leo (7/24): New income opportunity!
• Other Key Dates: 7/2, 7/12, 7/30

This is a pivotal month for you, Cancer! First of all, there’s plenty to celebrate! It’s your birthday after all—happy solar return! But with sweet Venus spending much of the month in your unconscious sector and heated Mars in your communication sector, you’re probably skipping the big parties for spa days and quiet retreats. July marks the beginning of a new chapter in your home and family life as you gain momentum on your goals. At the same time, an ongoing public project that’s been pulling your focus since April 2023 is wrapping up and will soon find resolution.

Love Horoscope: The full moon in Capricorn arrives on the 10th putting a spotlight on your closest relationships. A big theme of this summer is finding a better balance between work and your personal life. Your partner has supported you through so much these past few years, and now you’re finally in a place to return the favors and love.

Money Horoscope: Mercury retrograde—from the 18th through August 11th—is in your money sector and is an opportunity to do a detailed accounting of your finances. Money struggles from earlier in the year are finally put to rest as you enter a new financial era at the new moon in Leo on the 24th.

• Full Moon in Capricorn (7/10): Overwhelming day of errands and work
• New Moon in Leo (7/24): New moon, new you! (For real)
• Other Key Dates: 7/18, 7/22, 7/23, 7/25, 7/31

July is a major glow up for you, Leo. Though it starts off sleepy with Cancer season—your annual period of rest and meditation—things quickly pick up and reach a fever pitch once your season begins on the 22nd. Yes, it’s a bit chaotic (Mercury is retrograde in your sign from the 18th), but you’re learning through making mistakes and putting yourself out there. Making friends, signing contracts and planning vacations are done with commitment and curiosity, even if some of it feels messy and out of control.

Love Horoscope: You’ve been redefining commitment since Saturn—planet of responsibility—entered Aries and your travel sector back in May. You’re learning to be more flexible and adaptable when it comes to connection and are becoming more open to long-distance and other non-traditional relationships.

Money Horoscope: The full moon in Capricorn on the 10th is your busiest day at work for the entire year. You’re very aware that it’s time to ask for a raise. Mercury goes retrograde on the 18th encouraging you to review your finances and practice speaking up for your needs. This is also a key time to revisit thoughts about self employment and entrepreneurship. Maybe it’s time to finally take those thoughts seriously.

• Full Moon in Capricorn (7/10): Creative breakthrough
• New Moon in Leo (7/24): Offline mode
• Other Key Dates: 7/18, 7/20, 7/31

July is for review and reflection, Virgo. Mercury—your ruling planet—spends the entire month in your unconscious sector, and goes retrograde on the 18th. This quiet and meditative period marks the closing of one chapter and the beginning of another. It’s a great month to do a digital detox and spend more time in nature. Think of it like a sabbatical or spiritual retreat. Stepping away from the usual routines brings inspiration for the next phase of your career or public life. At the same time, action planet Mars spends the entire month in your sign and you might be feeling restless. Instead of letting all that heat bubble up inside you, channel the energy into fitness and taking care of your body. 

Love Horoscope: The full moon in Capricorn on the 10th marks a turning point in your romantic life. If you’ve been dating someone, this is a make or break moment. If you’re single, this full moon finds you peeking out of your hermit cave to meet someone new.

Money Horoscope: It’s time to demand your worth! With Venus—the planet that deals directly with your money—moving through your career sector, you’re feeling more confident than usual, and get what you want in meetings with VIPs.

• Full Moon in Capricorn (7/10): Biggest family event of the summer
• New Moon in Leo (7/24): Making new friends
• Other Key Dates: 7/4, 7/6, 7/7, 7/18, 7/23, 7/30

July is a whirlwind for you, Libra, with major family events, exciting social gatherings, and flashes of inspiration everywhere you go. This is a great time to explore things like travel, education and publishing. Take on a sampling mindset. Try a little bit of everything. Dipping your toes into lots of different communities will introduce you to new friends and even potential romantic partners. Though there may be some conflict with long term friends and coworkers because you’re acting a bit distant, it’s important to give yourself space to expand your mind.

Love Horoscope: You might fall in love with someone who lives out of town or is part of one of your online communities this month. Though you’re not spending a lot of IRL time together, it’s an immediate intellectual match. Explore connections that make you think!

Money Horoscope: Be careful with your spending this month as you're more prone to wasting money than usual. Staying on top of your budgets will prevent you from making purchases you later regret. You may also want to invest in a meditation class or a spiritual retreat.

• Full Moon in Capricorn (7/10): Everyone sliding into your DMs
• New Moon in Leo (7/24): Fresh start in career and public life
• Other Key Dates: 7/20, 7/23

July is for friendship. With your ruling planet Mars traveling through your social sector, you’re networking and vision boarding and leading your local volunteer group. This same influence could also bring up conflict with coworkers so watch out for anyone who’s pleasant to your face but gossiping about you in the Teams chat behind your back. You might also be battling a frenemy for something you both want. Around the 20th, you may lose out on what felt like a perfect opportunity, but this loss clears space for a project that’s more aligned.

Love Horoscope: You’re having a hard time integrating a new partner into your larger social circle. Or maybe you can’t get on the same page with a date about your values and ideals. These challenges peak around the 23rd, after which you can smooth things over or move on.
Money Horoscope: Venus spends most of the  month in Gemini and your shared resources sector. This is a great influence for clearing debts, applying for loans and working on collaborative projects. Though group fundraising might be more challenging, you’re getting the emotional and financial support for personal success.

• Full Moon in Capricorn (7/10): Money magic!
• New Moon in Leo (7/24): Making travel plans
• Other Key Dates: 7/4, 7/7

July is for taking a scary leap into the next level of intimacy. Your ruling planet Jupiter is now comfortable in Cancer and your shared resources sector. Throughout June, you initiated hard conversations, and now in July, you’re continuing to lean into the discomfort that’s necessary to build deep bonds. It’s fun, but it’s also terrifying! This is a powerful time to reflect on what you value, especially around the full moon on the 10th. What do you want to bring to the table in every connection? You might also make significant investments in travel or education this month. Just be careful because Mercury is retrograde from the 18th, so plans made now might switch up later in the summer.

Love Horoscope: Uranus—planet of change and rebellion—moves into your partnership sector on the 7th. This opens up what will be an almost decade long transit that’s for embracing nontraditional relationships. You’re finding new forms of connection and falling for people totally outside your usual type. 

Money Horoscope: The full moon in Capricorn on the 10th marks a breakthrough moment in your money story. You’re not just making huge financial gains, you’re learning how to share the wealth.

• Full Moon in Capricorn (7/10): All eyes on you!
• New Moon in Leo (7/24): Necessary negotiations
• Other Key Dates: 7/16, 7/13

July is for architecting your future. Your ruling planet Saturn is now in your home and family sector, and as the planet of responsibility stations retrograde on the 13th, you’re feeling intense pressure to commit. Whether it’s buying a house, choosing a fertility clinic or changing neighborhoods, all decisions feel urgent and final. But idealistic Neptune is also in this part of your chart, and from now through February 2026, you have the opportunity to create structure for your wildest dreams. Even the ones that feel freeform and flowing. Take a pause before signing away your freedom, and ask for all the help you need.

Love Horoscope: Cancer season (through the 22nd) is your most relationship focused time of year. But at the full moon in Capricorn on the 10th, all eyes are on you. You tend to shy away from attention but there’s no better time to put your own needs first.

Money Horoscope: The new moon in Leo on the 24th finds you deep in negotiations. You’re clearing debts, taking on a new side hustle, or offloading responsibilities to give yourself more free time. This is a great month to start a savings fund specifically focused on your home and family goals.

• Full Moon in Capricorn (7/10): A spiritual breakthrough
• New Moon in Leo (7/24): Fresh start in a close relationship
• Other Key Dates: 7/6, 7/13

July is for trusting that you’re making the right connections. With your ruling planet Saturn now in Aries and your communication sector, you’re getting serious about a writing project or learning a new skill. With idealistic Neptune in the same part of your chart, you’re not doing this to punish yourself, but to realize your wildest dreams. Between now and February 2026, you might become a vlogger or podcaster. You might give up your material possessions and try out #vanlife. Or you might just finally heal a childhood conflict with your sister. This month, you’re starting small to create the structures you need to succeed. Buy a Canon camera. Go back to therapy. You can do it all.

Love Horoscope: Uranus—planet of revolution—enters Gemini on the 7th, and for you this shift brings rapid change in your creative and romantic life. Venus also spends most of this month in your dating sector making this an ideal time to flirt and have fun!
Money Horoscope: Part of building up your skills for the future is making investments. Around the 20th, you’re faced with a significant expense that is out of your budget but will more than pay for itself down the line.

So This Is Why the Aquarius Personality Is So Rare

• Full Moon in Capricorn (7/10): Biggest community event of the summer
• New Moon in Leo (7/24): Training a new coworker
• Other Key Dates: 7/4, 7/7

July is another month to focus on your joy and self-expression. It might seem counterintuitive to prioritize play, but following your bliss makes everything easier. This is also a month that brings both ease and innovation to your home life. It’s a great time to refresh your space or plan a last minute trip to visit your family. The most difficult part of the month comes with Mercury retrograde (from the 18th), which for you is all about working out the quirks in your daily routines. In the process of finding better systems, you might have to redo previous work. Plan some fun nights with friends to offset the frustration.

Love Horoscope: Action planet Mars spends the entire month in your partnership sector bringing the heat to your closest relationships. This influence brings conflict, but with fighting comes reconciliation. You get clarity around the 20th around whether a connection is worth the hassle.

Money Horoscope: Saturn—planet of structure and responsibility—stations retrograde in your money sector on the 13th. For the next few months, you might want to be more frugal with your spending. Not to punish yourself, but to save for your future.
