July 2025 Monthly Overview

Ingresses

I center my attention on the astrological energy shifts unfolding in July 2025. My first focus lies in understanding the pivotal moments when planets change signs, as this can greatly affect their optimal functioning.

Lunations

Moving forward, I look into the influence of New and Full Moons, along with any eclipses that might manifest during this month. These celestial events can have a significant impact on our lives and emotions.

Retrogrades

Additionally, I examine the retrogrades of the planets, which signal a decrease in energy and call for a reevaluation of past situations associated with those specific planets. It’s a time to reflect and gain insights from the past.

Special Focus

Lastly, I will highlight some key astrological moments that will shape the month, offering valuable insights into the prevailing energies and their potential impact on our lives.

Here are the main planetary energy shifts and changes that will be in effect during July 2025.

 

The Astrology of July 2025

Below is the chart showing all the planet’s movements this month.

If planets move quite far then there is a dotted line showing their path for the month.

When planets change direction during the month, there is a curved path showing which way they move either retrograde or direct.

Additionally I have shown the New Moon (black circle) and Full Moon (white circle) indicated in the position it happens..

The Sun

Qualities

The Sun is masculine, warm, bright and life giving. The Sun represents you, your father and your heroes. The Sun rules the sign of Leo.

This Month

Get ready for some creative fun and play. Take time for leisure activities and focus on what makes you happy. Use this dynamic celestial energy of the Sun in Leo to do something that warms your heart and the souls of others. Be generous of spirit and you will experience contentment. Now you can easily find joy in ordinary tasks.

The Leo New Moon indicates new starts in all creative pastimes. You may have multiple projects on the go, and this will be the moment to add even one more. Lean into your ingenious pursuits, be they music, art, dance, writing or poetry. It doesn’t matter what, but that you do begin now.

    Who it Will Affect

    This Mercury retrograde period will powerfully affect anyone born between July 27th and August 8th of any year as your Sun will be contacted. Additionally, Mercury retrograde will impact you if you have natal planets or points between 4° to 15° Leo inclusive. In both instances, you will receive a three-hit conjunction transit to the planet or point from Mercury which will arrive as first direct, second retrograde and the third pass the final direct.

    Mercury Retrograde Themes

    In general, a Mercury retrograde period brings themes of revisions, returns and repairs. Mercury in Leo suggests motifs where you plan, revise and finalize your creative endeavors or projects. It is also a great time to reconnect with your children.
