We’re also navigating a Capricorn Full Moon that puts pressure on outdated structures, a fiery Leo New Moon that invites bold self-expression, and four planets retrograde, pulling us inward to reassess what really matters.
The theme for July:
Reinvention starts from within. Even if life feels uncertain or unclear, your intuition is speaking louder now. Listen to it.
Key Transits for July 2025 – What They Mean
July 7 – Uranus enters Gemini
This is the cosmic headliner of the month. Uranus, the planet of disruption, revolution, and awakening, enters Gemini—the sign of the mind, communication, tech, and community—for the first time since 1941. This marks the start of a multi-year shift in how we learn, connect, and share information. Expect big changes in media, education, transportation, and even nervous system health. On a personal level, it asks: Are your thoughts truly your own—or are they inherited, habitual, or outdated?
Vibe: Shocking clarity, mental rewiring, nervous energy, quantum-level insights.
Invitation: Upgrade how you think, speak, and connect with others.
July 10 – Full Moon in Capricorn
This Full Moon shines a light on our responsibilities, ambitions, and the structures we’ve built around success. Capricorn is all about the long game, but this Moon asks: Is the climb still worth it? With several planets going retrograde, it’s less about pushing forward and more about shedding pressure, perfectionism, and control.
Vibe: Sobering but empowering.
Invitation: Release outdated expectations. Come back to inner authority.
July 18 – Mercury stations retrograde in Leo
Mercury in Leo wants to express boldly—but in retrograde, it says, slow down before you speak. This retrograde turns our attention inward, especially around creativity, pride, and the need for recognition. Expect revisits of old conversations, creative projects, or self-image themes. Avoid tech upgrades or dramatic declarations until Mercury clears its shadow in late August.
Vibe: Loud thoughts, mixed signals, ego check.
Invitation: Say less. Listen more. Rewrite your personal narrative with heart.
July 24 – New Moon in Leo
This New Moon is your cosmic permission slip to start fresh with confidence. Leo rules creativity, courage, visibility, and joy. After the intensity of the Full Moon and Mercury’s backward motion, this lunation brings renewal—but only if we’re willing to drop the masks. Set intentions that center your authentic expression, not external approval.
Vibe: Heart-opening, energizing, playful.
Invitation: Plant seeds of bold self-expression. Lead from your light.
Ongoing – Four Planets Retrograde
Saturn (in Pisces): Restructuring spiritual foundations and boundaries
Neptune (in Pisces): Dissolving illusions, sharpening spiritual discernment
Chiron (in Aries): Revisiting themes around independence and identity healing
Retrogrades aren’t bad—they’re just not forward-moving. July’s retrogrades slow us down to listen inward, revisit old themes, and fine-tune where we’re headed.
