Horoscopes July 28-August 3: Chaos Finally Reaches Clarity
As we continue to navigate the confusion (and frustration) of Mercury retrograde, this week things could become a little clearer. The midpoint of the retrograde cycle (Thursday-Friday AEST and GMT) feels like things come into focus, just a touch.
While the larger question marks hanging over a specific realm of your life aren't vanishing completely, there is a deeper sense of understanding. It feels like you can at least see what the problem or the solution might be. Sure, you're still going to need to put the plan into action, but at least the shape of a solution is coming into focus.
The way we connect is also shifting this week. With Venus moving into Cancer, empathy, compassion, and romance are also on the up. Like a juicy, hydrating mask for your relationships, there's a restorative quality to the energy.
It feels healing and nourishing at the same time; a very pleasant antidote to all the other fiery feels bouncing around.
ARIES AND ARIES RISING
Your best moment this week comes towards Thursday/Friday (AEST and GMT) when Venus brings a little sparkle to your home and domestic realm. It's the sort of astro weather that will have you thinking about new sheets or a sofa upgrade. It's a welcome distraction to a bigger roadblock that's likely been taking up a lot of energy and attention.
Don't discount the value in a little indulgence, chances are a deep dive on 1stdibs.com is precisely what you need right now—enjoy it!
TAURUS AND TAURUS RISING
There's a big nostalgic flavour to this week, with Mercury retrograde asking you to retrace an issue, conversation or point of contention potentially connected to your family. It's not necessarily easy terrain, but there is at least a breakthrough on the cards towards the end of the week, where things become clearer – even if you still aren't in agreement over how it was handled. Elsewhere, your ruling planet, Venus, is getting a glow-up, encouraging you to reconnect with movies, books and music that take you back to pivotal moments in your own personal history.
Make the playlist, binge the show and savour the sweet escape.
GEMINI AND GEMINI RISING
Ready to take a trip down memory lane? This week, there's a key change in the air, and you're being invited to step back in time. Nostalgia may not usually be your vibe, but you're getting a little nudge from the planets to look back through your belongings and remember when… It's a gentle, soft kind of escape from what has otherwise been some pretty hectic astro weather of late. In other news, your ruling planet, Mercury, is finding its feet (just a touch) as the retrograde cycle reaches a turning point.
Expect to gain a new level of understanding around an issue that has been causing problems, potentially with siblings or neighbours.
CANCER AND CANCER RISING
Did someone say makeover? There's a nice little pep up in store for you this week as Venus moves into the front and centre of your chart. Shopping, pampering, or just making that hair appointment you've been meaning to book will stop sliding to the bottom of your to-do list. It's a very nice escape from another issue that's felt like a never-ending burden in recent weeks. It's not that 'the thing' is going anywhere, but you'll be able to find some reprieve in the simple act of self-care.
Lean in and treat yourself, you've earned it!
LEO AND LEO RISING
There's some clarity in sight for you this week, making a welcome change to what has been an otherwise murky couple of weeks. Around the end of the week (AEST and GMT), you might hear back from someone whom you've been chasing for an answer. Alternatively, it might just be that you finally get to the bottom of what caused a misunderstanding or disagreement over the past 10 days. It's not an instant resolution, but having that deeper level of understanding will feel like a huge relief.
Celebrate the small wins where you can.
VIRGO AND VIRGO RISING
If you feel like someone has been working against you over the past couple of weeks, this week could offer some much-needed clarity. Look for the information or intel that helps you understand their motives. It won't make the bigger issue disappear, but at least you might be able to dig into why they're acting the way they are. The back of the week also offers a nice little escape socially if you're in the mood. As Venus ignites your friendship zone, a forgotten group chat buried deep in your WhatsApp may be reignited, bringing a sweet, albeit unexpected, moment of nostalgia.
LIBRA AND LIBRA RISING
There are some major developments in store for Libra this week. An issue or misunderstanding potentially around a friendship dynamic reaches a turning point around Thursday/Friday (AEST and GMT). Keep your eyes peeled for some intel that explains why things have gone awry, or why communication has completely broken down with a friend. It doesn't make it better, but at least you can see some motives for their madness. Career-wise, there's some sweetness coming your way, with Venus bringing the vibe.
It's giving fairy godmother vibes, so be open to receiving help, guidance or an introduction from a well-connected femme energy.
SCORPIO AND SCORPIO RISING
If work—or your boss, specifically—has been feeling especially chaotic, there's a glimmer of light on the horizon. With Mercury and the Sun connecting this week, you're receiving some new information that could explain why things have been so intense. Keep your eyes and ears peeled; it won't absolve them of their mistakes, but at least you might get a deeper understanding of why they're acting the way they are. Elsewhere, a little bit of Venus magic encourages you to connect with a place or culture that feels like home. Don't discount the healing power of nostalgia; booking an Airbnb back to the beach you holidayed as a kid might be the pep up you didn't know you needed.
SAGITTARIUS AND SAGITTARIUS RISING
The confusion and frustration you've been navigating the past couple of weeks should ease by the end of this week. As Mercury and the Sun team up, expect some context around why things (or people) have been acting the way they have (read: less than ideal). Another area of life that's been feeling undecided and somewhat heavy also gets a boost once Venus moves into Cancer before the weekend (AEST and GMT). Advice or counsel from someone close to you could be the boost you need to get moving on an idea or solution.
Trust those who know you best to give you the sagest advice.
CAPRICORN AND CAPRICORN RISING
There's a delicious softening in store this week. Someone close to you gets a little boost, maybe some good news or the joy of reconnecting after spending time apart. It's a lovely reprieve from a bigger issue that's been feeling like a huge energy drain the past few months. Elsewhere in the sky, a misunderstanding or problem, potentially involving money, investments or your partner's cash situation, also gets a helping hand. The problem isn't fixed, but by the weekend, you should at least have a steer on what you (or they) need to do next.
AQUARIUS AND AQUARIUS RISING
If you're feeling tapped out right now, take comfort in knowing that there is a lot going on. You've been navigating what some may call 'collateral drama' the past couple of weeks, as Mercury retrograde causes confusion and uncertainty for someone very close to you. That knock-on effect of trying to help them work it out is a lot to contend with, but by Friday (AEST and GMT), things reach a turning point as they begin to understand the 'why' behind the dilemma. From there, putting plans in place should begin to be a little easier. In other news, if you've fallen off the wagon with workouts lately, expect things to improve by next weekend.
Reconnecting with the joy that movement brings you will be a silver lining.
PISCES AND PISCES RISING
Creative fish are getting a delicious boost of inspiration this week. Towards the end of the week, you'll notice a tangible shift in the vibe. Venus moves into Cancer, bringing a flow and ease to all the ways you enjoy having fun. The knock-on effect is a softening of a larger situation that's felt both heavy and uncertain. Mercury retrograde is still delivering plenty of chaos to schedules, time management, and general adulting (seriously, double-check all your appointments—this is the time for cross wires). Still, the boost of artistic pleasure will be like a balm to your Piscean soul.
Lean in and let yourself find joy in reconnecting to sources of inspiration from deep in your personal vault. You'll be glad you did.

Horoscopes July 21-27: Proceed With Caution As We Usher In Leo Season
Horoscopes July 21-27, 2025. After an eventful month, Leo season kicks off (22 July GMT and AEST) this week. But this year, it isn't all glitter bombs and French bubbles as you might expect. With Mercury currently in reverse, there's a sense of ambiguity; not an easy undercurrent at this time of year. Mid-week, the new moon looks spicy, going head-to-head with Pluto. The energy is giving 'this is the start of something big'—even if you're not intending for it to be prolific. Remember, retrograde cycles are always a time for introspection, so as lofty and playful as that Leo energy might seem on the surface, remember that the stakes are much higher than you might anticipate. Proceed with caution… ARIES AND ARIES RISING This week, the spotlight shifts to all things play, pleasure, and, if you're in that season of life, maybe even kid-related. But with Mercury retrograde also very much in the picture, it's not necessarily all smooth sailing. This is the sort of week where an ex could resurface out of the blue… or you might be the one tempted to do the 'hey stranger' texting. Or perhaps you're questioning your decision to volunteer as the manager of your social sports team. Whatever you're feeling, be mindful that the new moon midweek is a powerful moment. Don't rush into anything. Sit with what's coming up and trust that your desires—and dislikes—are slowly finding a new shape. TAURUS AND TAURUS RISING Home might not feel as predictable as you'd like this week. With Leo season shining a light on family, housemates and domestic responsibilities, the focus is firmly on what you do off the clock. But Mercury retrograde could be stirring up tension or conversations you thought were well and truly done. Whether it's a flatmate dynamic or a simmering disagreement with a family member, the vibe is ripe for reflection. The new moon, which falls midweek, feels intense and could reveal something hidden. Take your time before making big calls about your space or relationships within it. Now is a time to observe, not act. GEMINI AND GEMINI RISING Anyway you cut it, this week, the way you express yourself is the topic du jour. With the Sun and Mercury firmly placing a focus on your communications, especially with siblings, neighbours and anyone in your peripheral orbit, there's a lot going on. With Mercury retrograde also unfolding, wires might cross, or you may find yourself revisiting old conversations or even tech glitches. The new moon midweek brings a kind of explosive quality to whatever it is you're dealing with. It could be a moment of insight or a chance to rethink your approach. If things feel foggy, don't try to force clarity. Let thoughts settle before hitting send, posting, or confronting. The bigger picture is still coming into focus. CANCER AND CANCER RISING You've got money on your mind this week as the Sun piles on to an already noticeable preoccupation with cash flow. Now things kick up a gear as you ponder what you earn, spend and value most. Mercury retrograde could signal hiccups, so check your payslip and take a look through your bank statement to make sure everything is on track, even if you don't usually bother to look. The new moon may bring a bold desire to earn more or spend differently, but try not to act too fast. Let this be a moment of awareness rather than urgency. LEO AND LEO RISING For lions, this week feels extremely personal. Your home season shifts the spotlight firmly on you. But instead of lapping up the attention, you might find this particular energy has you second-guessing your decisions. The way you move, dress, speak or look after your health is all up for consideration. A new moon midweek brings a powerful reset, but it could feel more like a pressure cooker than a party. If something pushes your buttons, try to sit with what's going on beneath the surface for you. Why does this particular encounter feel so tender? Stay curious and try not to make rash decisions. What's taking shape could last for many moons to come. Don't rush it. VIRGO AND VIRGO RISING Hear that? It's the sounds of chill. After a frenetic few months, you're moving into a particularly quiet moment on your astrological year planner. With Leo season stirring up your subconscious and Mercury retrograde doubling down in the same zone, it's less about what's happening outside and more about what you're not saying. The new moon may bring a shocking truth to light or prompt a realisation you weren't expecting. Don't be spooked if emotions surface unexpectedly. Take the time to notice what you've been carrying quietly and what you're ready to release. There's no rush, so trust that clarity is coming. LIBRA AND LIBRA RISING Feeling a bit wobbly? It's not your imagination; it's in the sky. If the group chat is feeling especially heated, take comfort knowing the astrology matches up. Your friendships, networks and group dynamics are under the microscope this week. With Mercury retrograde stirring the Leo part of your chart, you might be reflecting on where you feel out of step with friends. You could find yourself replaying old arguments or getting dragged into a long-standing feud. The new moon midweek brings a chance to reset or reconsider your wider connections. If you're feeling left out or misunderstood, don't panic. This is a time to recalibrate. SCORPIO AND SCORPIO RISING Your career aspirations are in flux this week. It feels like things are heating up, but the trajectory isn't necessarily linear. Leo season always makes you think about longer-term goals you're envisioning, but Mercury retrograde means your professional plans may feel a bit off course. Whether it's a mix-up with your manager or doubts about your future direction, try to take things one day at a time. The midweek new moon is potent and may bring a surge of ambition or a shift in power dynamics. Let it run its course before you do anything rash. This is a time to watch and learn, not leap blindly into the void. SAGITTARIUS AND SAGITTARIUS RISING This week could spark big questions about how your day-to-day aligns with your belief system. For you, it's a time to reflect on how you can attune your movement to something more meaningful. You might find yourself daydreaming about travel or going back to uni. With Mercury retrograde in the mix, it's a time to pause and reflect before taking the next step. The new moon could bring an unexpected insight about your next challenge, whether it involves study, travel or even something deeper (yoga teacher training, perhaps?). Don't worry if things feel unclear. You're meant to get comfortable with the unknown right now. The answers you're seeking will land when the time is right. CAPRICORN AND CAPRICORN RISING You're being pulled to examine what you share—resources, energy and emotional space—and how you balance your own needs with all the other influences in your life. With Mercury retrograde messing with this part of your chart, things like taxes, leases, intimacy or joint finances may feel a little hard to get a handle on. The new moon midweek could bring a fresh start in how you navigate shared commitments, but it's not a time to rush decisions. Instead, use this week to reflect on what feels fair and sustainable. This is a time to reflect on your own spiritual sovereignty and ponder how you can make more space for the things that bring you joy. AQUARIUS AND AQUARIUS RISING Your closest one-on-one relationships are in the spotlight this week, with Leo season putting the focus on the people you're with. That could be your spouse, your best friend, your work wife or business partner. There's a lot going on for someone close to you right now, and the desire to rush in and fix it will be strong. But this isn't an issue that's going to be solved overnight. Let the energy unfold and reserve judgment. Trialling new approaches is fine, but committing to something long-term could be less sensible. As you let go of the steering wheel, notice what comes up for you. Letting go of control is not easy for an Aquarian, but cathartic, nonetheless. PISCES AND PISCES RISING Ready for a before-and-after reveal? Leo season is bringing big, refreshing energy, and your health and well-being are firmly in its sights. You're being invited to reassess your daily schedules and how you prioritise things that bring you joy vs all the other boring life admin you have to do. There's a huffiness to the energy, so if you feel yourself getting impatient, stop and consider what story you're telling yourself. You probably feel a need to control your own time or have a sense of agency over who you show up for. That's valid, but it's not a time to kick off. Reflect on where your needs aren't being met and what you could do to bring about lasting change.

Horoscopes July 14-20: Find The Opportunity In All The Uncertainty
Horoscopes July 14-20, 2025. This week is all about looking back as not one but two planets hit repeat. The first to slow things down is Saturn, which is also getting a big, blurry influence from Neptune right now. An area of your life might really be craving structure and certainty. But…actually getting either of those things? Near impossible. Hot tip: Sometimes you just have to resign yourself to not knowing, at least for now. It doesn't matter how much you spin your wheels; things don't always stick. Save yourself the heartache and get comfortable with a question mark hanging in the air. Later in the week, Mercury also hits rewind (17 July GMT, 18 July AEST). This kicks off three weeks where you're being asked to review, reconsider and refresh how you approach showing up and being seen. With the Leo parts of our chart highly activated (even though Leo season doesn't kick off for another week), it's a time to think about how you navigate speaking up, especially when you're the only one speaking. ARIES AND ARIES RISING You might feel a little off-kilter this week with the sky serving up some wobbly weather. Saturn and Neptune are moving through the centre stage of your life. You're being invited to sit with uncertainty rather than rush to find a solution to whatever lands in your lap. Uncomfortable as it may be, can you just take a minute to breathe? Mercury's retrograde activates your creativity and joy zone, asking you to reflect on what lights you up and where you may be craving to be seen. Whether it's romance, parenting or self-expression, this is a chance to pause and reconnect with what is really, truly meaningful. TAURUS AND TAURUS RISING You may feel more sensitive than usual this week. With Saturn and Neptune stirring up your subconscious, it's easy to pick up on tension or discomfort without having all the facts. Rather than trying to make sense of it all, allow yourself space to feel without pressure. Mercury retrograde is moving through your home and family zone, encouraging you to reflect on your foundations. Is there room to feel more seen or supported where you live, or by those closest to you? Now is not the time to act, but it is the time to reflect. GEMINI AND GEMINI RISING This week asks you to move slowly, especially when it comes to friends and social gatherings. With Saturn and Neptune casting a long shadow, group dynamics may feel vague, wishy washy or just a bit 'off'. The trick is to remember, you don't have to fix anything. Just notice what's shifting. Meanwhile, Mercury retrograde is lighting up your communication zone. It's a beautiful time to reflect on how you express yourself, especially in close connections. Are you feeling truly heard? Ponder the question without rushing to answer. CANCER AND CANCER RISING Your long-term career goals might feel like they're in a holding pattern this week. With Saturn and Neptune influencing your professional zone, things that usually feel clear or linear might feel open-ended. Trust that something deeper is being reworked. Mercury retrograde is turning your attention to money, value and self-worth. This is your opportunity to reflect on where you would like to feel more appreciated, whether financially or otherwise. You're not meant to act yet. Just let yourself explore what's shifted for you in recent months. LEO AND LEO RISING Big dreams might feel slower or fuzzier than usual, but that's not a bad thing. Saturn and Neptune are encouraging you to sit with the unknown when it comes to travel, study or long-term plans. Let go of needing everything to make perfect sense right now. Mercury retrograde in your sign signals the need for you to take a personal pause. It's your cue to reflect on how you've been showing up – and whether you feel truly seen. You're not meant to reinvent yourself just yet. First, take time to notice what wants to be reimagined. VIRGO AND VIRGO RISING There may be a sense that you're carrying more than your fair share—emotionally or financially. With Saturn and Neptune in your shared resources zone, boundaries can blur easily. Don't rush to sort it out. Instead, take stock. Mercury retrograde is now moving through your subconscious and inner world. It's the perfect time to reflect on old stories, hidden fears or unresolved dynamics that are quietly shaping how you move through the world. You don't have to fix anything right now. Simply honour what comes up. LIBRA AND LIBRA RISING Your most important relationships may feel a little more complex this week. Saturn and Neptune are encouraging you to slow down and notice the subtleties—what's unsaid, or what's shifting beneath the surface. There's no need to chase clarity, as challenging as that may feel. Mercury retrograde brings focus to your friendships and broader community. It's a chance to check in with where you feel most valued and understood. Which group chats fill your cup, and which ones leave you flat? Take notice of where your energy is truly seen. SCORPIO AND SCORPIO RISING Your usual routines might feel less predictable than usual. With Saturn and Neptune moving through your daily work and wellbeing zone, you may be craving more structure, but facing a 'failure to launch' sort of vibe. Let yourself slow down. Mercury retrograde in your career and visibility sector offers a chance to reflect on how you want to be recognised. Have your efforts been acknowledged? Are you pursuing goals that still feel aligned? No need for dramatic moves. Focus on gentle inquiry. The clarity will come once you've made space to listen in. SAGITTARIUS AND SAGITTARIUS RISING Your creative spark is still there, it just might be flickering a little as Saturn and Neptune invite you to redefine what joy and pleasure look like. Whether it's parenting, dating or your artistic side, you're being asked to slow down and reconnect with what feels real. Mercury retrograde stirs up questions about big-picture plans, study or travel. Instead of pushing forward, use this moment to take stock of where you're at and what you're feeling. Are you being recognised for your growth? Are your beliefs still serving you? Allow yourself time for a soft recalibration. CAPRICORN AND CAPRICORN RISING If it feels like things on the home front may feel like they're shifting beneath the surface, know that you're not imagining things—it's in the sky. Saturn and Neptune in your domestic zone, asking you to release the need for certainty, no small ask for a seagoat. No amount of planning, pros and cons lists, or bullet journaling will help you arrive at a clear solution. Later in the week, Mercury retrograde draws your attention to shared resources—money, space, emotional investments, etc. It's a good time to check in on where you may be giving too much or not feeling supported enough. No rush to change anything. For now, simply honour what your instincts are telling you. AQUARIUS AND AQUARIUS RISING If you're struggling to find the right words or generally feel like you're stuck in second gear, know that's a vibe. Conversations? A little foggy. Saturn and Neptune are in your communication zone, meaning it's not always easy to read between the lines. Instead of overthinking, give people (and yourself) room to process. Mercury retrograde is turning your focus to your most significant relationships. This isn't about making decisions, it's about observing. Do you feel seen? Understood? Valued? Give yourself space to reflect without judgment (or at least try). Insight will arrive when you give it the space to unfold naturally. PISCES AND PISCES RISING There's a murky quality this week that could feel tricky to navigate. You might feel like you're doing all the right things, but still not getting the results you expected. Saturn and Neptune in your money zone are asking you to reflect on what value really means to you. Not just income, but effort, time and emotional energy. Mercury retrograde, which can disrupt your daily routine, invites you to review your schedule, habits, and wellbeing practices. Where are you being stretched too thin? What needs a little more care or refinement? Think of this as a soft reset, not a full stop.
