What Neptune Retrograde means for your star sign: A horoscope reading for the current cosmic event
Lovelorn, elusive, and psychic planet Neptune is moonwalking in Aries and Pisces for the next several months. From 4th July until 10th December, Neptune is going to be back splashing against the waves and causing a commotion in the cosmos. Don't worry, it's not gonna be as dramatic as you may think! A lot of people associate Neptune with visions, illusions, or spirituality; however, it is known as the 'divine discontent' because from a distance, our aspirations have a grandiose and beautiful appeal to them. But once we look closer at the work that it takes to complete our goals, we begin to realise that the grass isn't always greener on the other side. This Neptune retrograde is allowing us to take a softer approach to manifesting our passions and embrace our desires with TLC. On 22nd October, Neptune goes back into Pisces and takes us back to the beginning of March 2025, highlighting the same aspirations and emotions it was stirring up then. This is our second pass to deal with the situations from that timeline and make them right. It's okay to be delulu when Neptune is retrograde — it'll give us the ability to eventually reflect and spiritually connect to our hopes. The illusion may or may not be real, but discovering what we truly want is going to be the best check-in we can have. Keep reading below for what this Neptune retrograde means for every sign. This is a magical time! Your intuition is reaching new plateaus, allowing you to take a deep dive into the dream realm. Pay attention to what your visions are showing you at this moment because they will play a larger role in the future. Try to journal them for reference. Some of your friends are disappointing you because they don't follow through on promises. Try to give them the benefit of the doubt since they may be going through issues you may not know about. Before arguing over matters, sit down and have a conversation to figure out the situation. A gig that you've been wanting might fall through. Before you let it get to you, remember that another opportunity is coming, and it could be better than the OG one that was up for grabs; remember, when one door closes, another opens. The professional possibilities are proving to be endless. A new hobby may be appealing initially, but may lose its lustre in the upcoming months. Although your attitude is wishy-washy, you should allow yourself to continue until you find something unique to fill the void. If so, sign up for an endeavour that is simultaneously creative, imaginative, and comforting. A holiday you've been planning for a while has unforeseen difficulties, like the flight may be cancelled or the hotel isn't up to your standards. Allow yourself to make the best of the situation by having a fantastic time even though there are obstacles that are standing in your way. A former flame is trying to get back in your good graces. Before you give them the benefit of the doubt and believe they've changed, take a hard look at the situation and their behaviour before opening your heart to them again. After you've assessed the vibe, you will decide. It's not that you're falling out of love with your current crush, you are just wanting and needing to take a step back and focus on yourself. Consider this your hot girl summer and make plans with your squad to relax and unwind without any relationship drama on the horizon. You've been putting in a lot of hours at the office and now your energy levels are depleted. Go with the flow and allow yourself time to sleep and heal. you'll find that this is the best way for you to reconnect with yourself and have the patience for others. Although you love to explore new cities and coasts during the summer and fall seasons, you're finding that home is where your heart is. Face reality, Sagittarius, you are currently in the nesting phase of life, and that entails decorating your dwelling with souvenirs from all of your recent travels. Stop comparing yourself to others! Understand that you are doing your best, and are a terrific sea-goat. Everyone has their issues that they're dealing with; they're just better at hiding them than most, which is why it's vital to know that you're doing excellent in comparison. You got this, Cap! The truth may be hard to come by these days, but it doesn't mean it won't rear its head at some point. Maintain a calm approach to matters to let people spill the tea on themselves. What you hear is stranger than fiction, making you contemplate if it's actually factual. Money comes and goes before you can balance your fiduciary spreadsheets. The only way to cope with the financial rollercoaster ride is to embrace the law of attraction. Believe that you can attain abundance without worrying about your bank account — even though this will be easier said than done.

Strange New Object Found In Solar System ‘Dancing' With Neptune
Astronomers surveying the outer solar system have revealed that a rare object far beyond Neptune is moving in sync with the eighth planet in an unexpected way. Called 2020 VN40 and first discovered in 2020, it takes 1,655 Earth-years to orbit the sun. The news comes just weeks after 2023 KQ14 — nicknamed 'Ammonite' — was found beyond Neptune and Pluto. Together, these newly found objects change the way astronomers think distant objects move and how the solar system evolved. The orbital path of 2020 VN40 — in yellow — is tilted up and to the left from the orbits of most of ... More the objects in the solar system. PSI/Kathryn Volk 2020 VN40 is currently 140 times farther from the sun than Earth. For context, Neptune is 29 times farther from the sun than Earth. However, the object's orbit is highly elliptical, getting just 40 times farther from the sun than Earth. Most planets — including Earth — orbit the sun in nearly the same flat plane. Some distant objects, such as 2020 VN40, have orbits that are highly inclined relative to this plane. The object appears to be in a 10:1 resonance with Neptune, meaning that it orbits the sun once for every ten orbits Neptune completes. It's the first object ever found to do that. The size of 2020 VN40 is unknown because it's too far away to be directly measured. However, based on its brightness, it may have a diameter of around 56 miles (90 kilometers). Published this month in the American Astronomical Society's The Planetary Science Journal , the discovery supports the theory that many distant objects get captured by Neptune's gravity as they drift through the outer solar system. 'This is a big step in understanding the outer solar system,' said Rosemary Pike, lead researcher from the Center for Astrophysics, Harvard and Smithsonian in Cambridge, Massachusetts. 'It shows that even very distant regions influenced by Neptune can contain objects, and it gives us new clues about how the solar system evolved.' It could also shed light on the motion of objects in the outer solar system. 'This new motion is like finding a hidden rhythm in a song we thought we knew,' said Ruth Murray-Clay, co-author of the study, from the University of California in Santa Cruz. 'It could change how we think about the way distant objects move.' 2020 VN40 took six years to be discovered and for its orbit to be mapped. It was discovered by astronomers working on the Large Inclination Distant Objects survey, a search for unusual objects in the outer solar system with orbits that extend far above and below the plane of the solar system. It's a region of the solar system that few astronomers have studied. The researchers used the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope and Gemini North in Hawaii and Magellan Baade and Gemini South in Chile. The LiDO survey has now found over 140 distant objects. The Vera C. Rubin Observatory in Chile, which published its first stunning images in June, is expected to find many more objects in the outer solar system. 'With the imminent start of Rubin Observatory's Legacy Survey of Space and Time, we expect many more such discoveries to open a new window into the solar system's past,' said Kathryn Volk of the Planetary Science Institute. Rubin is also expected to find more interstellar objects — such as ancient comet 3I/ATLAS. Background Another newly discovered object that could reshape astronomers' understanding of the solar system's past is 'Ammonite,' or 2023 KQ14, an object discovered in the solar system beyond Neptune and Pluto. Classed as a sednoid — an object similar to Sedna, a dwarf planet candidate in the outer solar system found in 2003 — Ammonite orbits beyond Neptune and has a highly eccentric orbital path. It's thought to be between 137 and 236 miles (220 and 380 kilometers) in diameter and between 70 and 432 times farther from the sun than Earth.

What July's New Moon in Leo means for you: A horoscope reading for every star sign
New Moons are a time for rejuvenation and manifestation. If you have a lack in your life, then this is the time the collective will work to fill it, whether through a new experience, person, or item. We must make space for beginnings and foolish behaviour during new moons. Mind you, we're all fools when beginning something new, so don't be scared to get experimental. For newbies, a New Moon is when the moon conjuncts the sun to the same degree. New moons are for setting intentions and goals to manifest. Take the theme of each new moon (manifestation period) as inspiration to bring forth the best version of yourself! If you find your horoscope helpful or have any questions, please share your horoscope and tag me on social media @monishaholmes. July's New Moon in Leo will happen on 24th July, 2025 emerging like a sunrise on an unpleasantly cold day and making Leo season the perfect time for shedding personal layers and melting the social ice. Get ready to step out — adorned in your baddest attire — and draped in unshakable confidence. But this New Moon isn't just about flaunting your shine — it's happening in the 10th House of career and legacy, so your outfit isn't the only thing at stake; your reputation is. With Mercury Retrograde also in Leo, people are feeling an emotional pull to defend their egos, preserve their narratives, and secure their spot in the world's memory. This isn't performative confidence — it's ancestral. It's the version of you that refuses to be erased. And here's where things get layered: Saturn and Neptune in Aries are trining this New Moon, which means people may start leaning into masculine-coded power — authority, intimidation, superiority — not necessarily to be oppressive, but to let those optics work for them if it helps get the job done. Intention may be quiet, but impact is loud. Thankfully, Uranus in Gemini is sextiling this lunation, and that's your pressure valve. Think fast. Speak smarter. There's always a third perspective no one's thought of, and if you can surface it, you might shatter the whole illusion that's cornering you. Still, beware: Chiron in Aries squaring the New Moon, and Pluto opposing it, means people are fragile right now. There's cultural resistance to transformation — especially if you don't struggle for it. You might even notice folks clutching onto pain like it's a badge of honour. Let them. That's not your cue. This New Moon is not asking you to invent a new version of yourself, nor does it have any need for you to create a solution for other people's lack of excitement. Instead, you may gain most from finding new ways to look at the features of your uniqueness. How do you move when no one is watching? What if that is your truest dance? What to do for this New Moon in Leo Schedule the shoot, wear the silk, and post the photo that makes your inner critic sweat. Leo rules performance, not for attention's sake, but because self-expression is divine worship. Make your mirror a stage. Let your authenticity rehearse in front of the spotlight until you remember that you were never pretending. Some people will never applaud until you shrink. You don't need their validation — you need your fire back. Notice where you dim your light to make others feel less insecure. This New Moon is your permission slip to stop treating your joy like it's disruptive. If they think you're too much, let them go find less. Take yourself on a date that rivals your Pinterest board. Dress up for no reason. Serenade your reflection. Leo energy lives for love — but the highest octave of Leo love is the kind you give yourself before someone else earns a seat at your table. Wholeness looks good on you. The moments you once felt humiliated by? They're part of your mythos now. Reclaim the plot. Make a podcast episode about it. Write a poem. Turn your heartbreak into a one-woman show. Leo doesn't just survive — it makes the pain into art and the healing into a performance. Let your legacy be one of unapologetic colour. This New Moon in Leo invites you to break character and become the star you forgot you already were. Don't just rise. Erupt. Become the sun that the world was waiting for. And if someone tells you to tone it down, just tell them: babe, this is the toned-down version. Read your horoscope based on your Sun, Moon, and Rising signs. Read for your Sun sign to gain insight based on the version of yourself you're maturing into, your Rising sign to reflect on your present state, and your Moon sign for guidance on caring for your inner child. It's okay to want to be adored. This Leo New Moon is blessing your 5th House of joy, romance, and risk. But what happens when the applause fades? With Mercury Retrograde in this same space, you're being asked to revisit how you create, why you perform, and what you hope to receive in return. This lunation is not just about being seen — it's about being felt. Ego may want to steal the mic, but your spirit needs something softer. Create like you've already won. Love like you're not auditioning. And remember: pleasure that's conditional is just performance in a prettier outfit. You've outgrown pretending you're fine at home when you're not. The Leo New Moon is sitting in your 4th House of roots, lineage, and emotional interiors. With Mercury retrograde here too, you may notice yourself rehearsing old lines just to keep the peace. But who does that peace actually serve? This lunation encourages you to re-establish your authority over your own private world. You can't build a legacy on someone else's rules. And you don't need to prove anything to earn protection. Make home a sacred theatre — not a stage for keeping up appearances. The stories you tell about yourself are sacred. This New Moon is lighting up your 3rd House of communication, memory, and inner monologue. With Mercury Retrograde here, expect a resurgence of voices — internal and external — that once made you doubt your clarity. But you're different now. You can speak without shrinking. You can teach without performing. Not everyone will understand your expression, but that doesn't mean it's not resonant. You are allowed to change your mind and still be taken seriously. You are allowed to be radiant and still tell the truth. Especially when the truth comes out dressed in gold. This New Moon is testing the frequency of your self-worth. Leo rules your 2nd House of value, and with Mercury Retrograde dancing in the same space, old insecurities may resurface through your spending habits, your reflection, or your need for validation. But you don't have to fix it all — just face it. If you've been taught that you have to struggle to deserve abundance, this lunation might challenge that narrative. You're not a project. You're not a price tag. You're a person who deserves nice things without performance. Don't let wounded egos set the cost of your glow. This is your New Moon — and the world feels like a mirror. Happening in your 1st House of identity and personal expression, this lunation challenges the version of you that's still trying to be palatable. Mercury Retrograde in your sign adds extra static, tempting you to defend past performances or rework your image. But there's nothing to defend. You're not an explanation. You're a revelation. There's a difference between being perceived and being known. Let this moon teach you the difference. And when people start treating your presence like prophecy, remember — you wrote the story. They're just catching up. This lunation dips into your 12th House — your inner sanctuary and sometimes your subconscious exile. New Moons here don't always feel exciting. They feel like whispers behind closed doors, like sleep that won't come, like shame that never got spoken out loud. With Mercury retrograde also lurking in this space, you may find yourself tangled in thoughts that belong to a past self. Be still. Let her speak. But don't let her drive. You don't need to armour up in intellect or disappear behind your duties. Your softness is not a liability. Let this moon mend your inner altar. This New Moon is giving main character energy to your 11th House of friendship, community, and future dreams. But with Mercury Retrograde in the mix, don't be surprised if the group chat feels…off. There's a difference between being liked and being aligned. Some people orbit your light just to say they've been close to it. That's not loyalty, baby, that's proximity. This lunation is about finding people who aren't just watching your rise — they're rising with you. You don't need to explain your evolution. Just keep becoming. The right ones will find you mid-flight. The spotlight is burning through your 10th House — career, visibility, public perception. This New Moon is asking you to redefine what 'success' means when you're not performing for praise. With Mercury Retrograde here, past achievements (or public missteps) may come back for review. Don't spiral. Legacy is not built on optics—it's forged in integrity. You don't have to dominate to be impactful. You don't have to post to prove you're powerful. You just have to know. Let this moon teach you the quiet confidence that doesn't ask for applause. You're used to looking far ahead, but this New Moon wants you to go deeper—time to confront your feelings sweetie. Leo is your 9th House ruler — home of purpose, philosophy, and the stories we tell about meaning. With Mercury Retrograde here, questions may arise about whether you still believe in the thing you're chasing. You're allowed to pivot. You're allowed to be moved. You're allowed to outgrow the spiritual narrative that once saved you. Let this moon rewire your truth — not with logic, but with fire. You don't need new doctrine. You need devotion that doesn't shrink your joy. This New Moon glows in your 8th House — the place where we hold power, pain, and the pieces we've merged with others. This transit might make you feel a little raw. Mercury retrograde here is resurrecting emotional debts and psychological secrets. You're not being punished. You're being purified. This lunation doesn't want to control you — it wants you to remember what's yours. Reclaim your energy. Release the shame. Reframe the narrative. You don't owe anybody a performance of composure. Let the rupture make room for rebirth. Your partnerships are under divine review. With the New Moon in your 7th House — and Mercury Retrograde parked there, too — relationships may feel like a hall of mirrors. You might feel like you're being studied instead of loved. Like you're being managed instead of met. But connection is not choreography. You don't have to over-explain your boundaries or shrink your autonomy to maintain peace. This lunation is about choosing union without erasure. It's about being known and free. If someone can't hold both, they might not be the one holding you next. You don't have to disappear to be of service. This New Moon lands in your 6th House of routine, wellness, and work — and with Mercury Retrograde here, your body and schedule are sounding alarms. The pressure to prove your usefulness is not the same thing as being valuable. You don't owe your energy to every inbox, every role, every silent expectation. Real devotion is sustainable. Real care includes you. Let this lunation invite you to rest not as rebellion — but as ritual. You're not behind. You're just healing in public.

Your daily horoscope: July 24, 2025
All the little changes you have made in your life over the past year or so can now be combined to bring about a huge transformation. Give yourself permission to dream the impossible dream, then set about making that dream come true. Today's dynamic new moon means you will know just what to say and do to win people round to your way of thinking. Not only will they want to think like you but they will want to follow you too, so lead the way! Take things as they come today and don't worry that those you love most in life might not understand why you don't seem to care that much about what's going on. You do care, of course, but why get uptight about things you cannot change? If you make an effort to get to know someone new in your neighbourhood they could become one of your strongest allies. Today's new moon means if you take an interest in other people they will go out of their way to promote your interests too. Keep your wits about you today, because cosmic activity in and around the money area of your chart means you could lose a fortune as easily as you make one. Steer clear of people whose big talk is not matched by the size of their wallet. A new moon in your birth sign, along with positive solar links to both Saturn and Neptune, makes this the perfect time to set yourself higher goals. Up until today you have been aiming way too low. As from today you must aim for the stars. Your mind will be illuminated by a flash of inspiration today but don't get carried away and start running around shouting 'Eureka!' Keep what you have discovered to yourself for the time being, because if everyone knows its worth will be diminished. Cosmic activity in the area of your chart that governs dreams and schemes will get you thinking about new ways to exploit your creative abilities. Get together with like-minded friends and colleagues and find ways to change your fortunes for the better. You will be put to the test over the next few days and you will enjoy every moment of it. The more the powers that be try to beat you down the more you will come back at them and show you are too tough to ever be defeated. If you want to get away from your everyday environment for a while then just go. The new moon will inspire you to look further afield for the kind of excitement you crave and without doubt you will find it before the end of the week. You are far too smart to get involved in anything that resembles a get-rich-quick scheme and that good judgment could save you from a lot of bother today. Make it your business to point out the dangers to friends and loved ones as well. Relationships are under excellent stars at the moment, so stop worrying about what all the bad people out there might be doing and focus on those you are closest to emotionally. If your personal world is in harmony the wider world will improve as well. The value you choose to place on events will determine whether you see those events as either 'good' or 'bad'. Make it your No. 1 task today to think and act as if everything is working out according to a perfect cosmic plan – because it is! Discover more about yourself at
