You're halfway through 2025, but July's astrology delivers some of the most game-changing cosmic events of the entire year! You start the month in Cancer season, which brings attention to your inner world. You might crave more time at home or with loved ones. This can also put you in a more nostalgic mood, as you navigate the past and use its lessons to inform your future. Connecting with nature and the land you're living on can also be healing for yourself and the collective.
There are some shake ups in your major relationships when Venus in Taurus links up with Uranus in Taurus, at the same point in the sky, on July 4. Think sudden breakups, elopements, and unexpected work opportunities! You could also run into someone surprising or have some odd interactions today, too. You're willing to take a creative risk or a risk in the name of love!
Your love language becomes more cerebral once Venus moves into Gemini later in the day on July 4. You want your partner to also be a confidant and someone who you can learn from. This is a fun time to engage in witty banter and flirty texts with a lover or potential hook up. People are also a little harder to pin down, so try not to take it personally if someone cancels last minute.
Neptune, the planet of dreams, spirituality, compassion, healing, and beliefs, goes retrograde in Aries on the same day. This can stir up confusion and cause you to question yourself or your dreams. Just remember: You don't have to have all of the answers right now. You're also more in tune with the collective and the shared thread and experiences that unites humanity. You're feeling deeply and leading with your heart.
July 6 is a great day to take a relationship to the next level or sign a contract when Venus in Gemini mingles with Saturn in Aries. Commitment of some sort is on the table and you're feeling hopeful about what comes next. On the same day, Venus in Gemini links up with Neptune in Aries, putting you in a more romantic and creative mood. Lead with your intuitive mind and play around with your imagination. Healing interactions can also take place in your relationships. Maybe you're ready to tell someone you love them.
One of the main events of 2025 arrives when Uranus moves into Gemini on July 7. The last time Uranus moved through Gemini was from 1941-49. Collectively, this can bring up themes from that time period. Uranus is a disruptor, rebel, and the planet of innovation, change, and revolution. When it moves through Gemini it changes how we build community and organize together, how we consume information and communicate with others and even how we travel. Uranus will move through this part of your chart until 2033 and revolutionize social media, space travel, your friendships, and reconnect you with the power of your voice—because your voice, lived experiences, beliefs, and opinions matter!
You're feeling grateful for the important people in your life when Venus in Gemini teams up with Pluto in Aquarius on the same day. Some relationships can grow deeper, and you're willing and able to change your own relationship patterns and dynamics for the better. There's a full moon in Capricorn on July 10 that asks you to reflect on your relationship with productivity. Do you tie your worth to how much you accomplish? It's time to throw that out the window. Are you putting off celebrating yourself until you hit a certain milestone? Quit it. There is no time like the present to give yourself the recognition you seek from others. You deserve it. Your boundaries are being tested when Saturn goes retrograde in Aries on July 12. The next few months invite you to reflect on your relationship with discipline, commitment, and standing your ground.
