July 2025 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Aries:
You’re paying more attention and pouring more energy into family, living conditions, and nesting in July, dear Aries. Your instincts are strong in these areas! You’re also motivated to boost your daily routines and efforts toward improved wellness. As the month advances, romantic and creative themes amplify.
You could be in the relative background for much of July, with an emphasis on your sector of home and family and your ruling planet tucked away in your solar sixth house. You enjoy a great deal of positivity in your work matters and living conditions. Self-improvement efforts can be magnificent with several influences on your solar chart encouraging you to rebuild or rework something to make your life better. This can be a work project, efforts to manage your personal space, time invested in maintaining a prized possession, or a project related to improving your health and well-being. It may be that anger or frustration over your current situation motivates your improvement efforts, and this is a constructive use of Mars energy!
Still, Venus spends much of the month (the 4th to the 30th) in your communications house, lacing the month with a lively spirit. You present your ideas and comments with charm and ease during this cycle. Making social connections and sharing your thoughts come more smoothly and naturally. Your studies, interests, learning, and connecting are more enjoyable and satisfying. Transportation can be pleasant. It’s a good time to expand your mind and connect with others through the mind. Falling in love through the power of words is not out of the question. You might discover new and more satisfying ways to express yourself–you’re expanding your options! You express both your feelings and ideas with the same ease. This transit can help buffer some of the misunderstandings Mercury’s retrograde from the 18th forward can bring.
Uranus becomes a long-term guest in your solar third house just a few days after Venus heads into this sector, but it will stay much longer! Uranus here can introduce you to a broader and perhaps eclectic array of mental interests. This long-term cycle revolutionizes the ways you communicate and connect with the world around you. You’ll be opening up and expressing your unique ideas more often. As you think differently, you communicate differently. Your daily life is bound to become very colorful, although possibly also a little unpredictable or chaotic. Regular encounters with neighbors, relatives, and acquaintances, as well as everyday activities and business activities, may be changing quite dramatically. This year, this Uranus transit lasts from July 7th to November 7th, but it will continue from April 2026 forward for many years.
You can make some exciting discoveries around the Full Moon on the 10th, but you’re also likely to be called to action if you’ve been too heavily engrossed in your personal life. You may be called to task or simply required to fill a responsibility and take the lead now. It may be a time of promotion, culmination, or a turning point in a project.
Mercury turns retrograde on the 18th, offering you the chance (or need) to review your goals with the creative or playful side of your life, and this can be a blessing in disguise. Now is the time to process and digest recent events and ideas. Reviving or reworking old projects are possible themes. While you shouldn’t get stuck in the past, a review can be appropriate, profitable, and beneficial. You might breathe new life into old projects or consider ways to break out of a rut. Waiting for information can be frustrating, but in the meantime, you can accomplish a lot.
Neptune, Saturn, and Chiron are all visiting your sign, and this month, all three bodies turn retrograde! These retrogrades detach you just enough from your current responsibilities, ideals, and dreams for you to gain a new perspective on them. While you may lose some wind in your sails just for now, the retrograde cycles ultimately bring about more balance in your life. You are maturing and learning to rely on yourself during this phase of your life.
Especially from the 22nd onward, expressing yourself creatively helps you define and understand yourself better. Love, love affairs, and other social activities are in stronger focus. On this date, the Sun heads into your sector of joy, pleasure, pastimes, and creativity, encouraging you to follow your heart. You might also see a past matter related to hobbies, creativity, romance, or children in a brand new way in the last few days of the month. The information, conversations, or connections you make at this time can be significant.
While Venus moves into your home and family sector on the 30th, and there’s more focus on home life ahead of you, there is a shift emerging that turns your attention to more outgoing, creative, sociable, and pleasure-seeking activities. As problems smooth out on the home front, you feel freer to explore, experiment, and enjoy new pleasures.

Aries (Born March 21 to 31)
AND Aries Ascendant from 0 to 10 degrees Aries:
July 2025 Aries Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
July 2025
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until July 22nd:
The Sun continues to put a spotlight on your solar fourth house. This is a period of recharge, of getting in touch with your innermost feelings, of connecting with your roots, and of spending more time and energy on home and family. Home and family matters capture your attention and are a strong source of pride now. It’s a time when worldly matters are not as important to you.
Use this energy to find ways to improve your family relations and your home environment. During this heart-warming cycle, you would do best to allow yourself to explore your inner needs so that you can nurture yourself and others in a healthy, growth-oriented manner, in preparation for more outgoing times to come.
From July 22nd forward:
The Sun illuminates your solar fifth house now. After a period of “nesting”, you are coming out of your shell, ready to perform and to express yourself creatively. This is a very playful period of the year, when you are inspired creatively and emotionally. After a period of self-protectiveness, you are now more spontaneous and more willing to take risks. You take more pride than usual in your creations, your love affairs, your children, and your hobbies. Pleasure and amusement play an important role in your search for freedom of self-expression now. Show off your best colors!
You want others to take notice, and you are more sensitive to whether people appreciate you. More than any time of the year, this is the cycle in which you focus on having fun, enjoying romance, and expressing yourself creatively. Your hobbies, leisure time, moments spent with children, gaming time, and so forth, all come into focus at this time of year.
This is a cycle in which you find joy in expressing who you are–when your “inner child” comes out to play. This is a time when you are more flirtatious than usual, and when you might take a few risks in life–not only gambling with games but with life itself. You might be a bit of a showman at this time. You are likely feeling good in general, and you tend to spread the joy.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until the 4th:
Venus continues to grace your solar second house during this period. You might receive gifts or bonuses now, or you find much comfort in what you already own and have. You may be a little extravagant with money for the time being, as your desire for luxury and comfort items is increased now, and this is something to watch for. When it comes to love, you value those who make you feel comfortable and secure.
From the 4th to 30th:
With Venus moving through your solar third house during this period, you are mostly cheerful in your approach to others, and perhaps somewhat intellectual, during this transit. Essentially, you are quite companionable now. You enjoy talking about what interests you, and you find great value in the exchange of ideas. Sometimes this transit brings benefit through siblings, communications, or short trips. During this period, you are most attracted to wit, cheerfulness, and verbal rapport. You are especially good at mediating conflicts. Smoothing over differences using your diplomacy skills figures now.
From the 31st forward:
Venus warms your solar fourth house now. During this cycle, you are especially fond of the life of the home and family. You are more receptive and gentle on a romantic level, and tend to be sentimental or nostalgic.
You may particularly value the aesthetics in and around your home during this period. If things are out of whack on the home front, you will do whatever you can to create a peaceful and stable atmosphere.
In relationships, loyalty and sensitivity are more important to you than typically. You might focus on ways to earn money in or from your home. This is a calming influence–a time when simple pleasures most appeal.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
All month:
Mercury continues to transit your solar fifth house. Increased communication with children, romantic partners, and people who share the same hobbies as you can occur now. Certainly, you are thinking about these people and about love and romance, child rearing, and/or creative pursuits more than usual. Mental exercises and competitions can be particularly enjoyable now. You express yourself with warmth and creativity, and you have an appreciative “audience” for your ideas now.
Mercury is retrograde from July 18th to August 11th:
All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications in general and job or health-related communications because Mercury rules these areas of your life. There can be delays or rethinking with these matters.
Occurring in your solar fifth house this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to matters surrounding romance, children, and creativity. Be as non-judgmental as you can with romantic partners and your children, if applicable. Re-thinking the suitability of your romantic relationships is possible now, but you should avoid jumping to any premature decisions. There may be the need to revisit old issues with your children or lover, or there could be some communication problems with the same. Arguments with a lover may be blown out of proportion far too easily. Both you and your lover should avoid harping on the words used and try to get to the meaning behind the words instead. Or, a romance may not be moving forward in obvious ways. It might seem like stagnation, but it’s actually a period of review and rest. Other possibilities include calls that are not returned, a lover is late for a date, or dates get cancelled. Speculation and gambling are not advised right now. It’s probably not the best time to launch a new creative project, but it’s a good time for reworking an existing one. Same goes for romance! Things will change after Mercury turns direct, so you might decide to try to keep status quo for the time being. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with romantic partners, and children; or take this time to re-examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
All month:
Mars continues to animate and energize your solar sixth house. Energy and initiative for work, health, and other daily activities increase. You are self-motivated when it comes to these matters. If there are disagreements and disputes that erupt on the job now, they may be due to a feeling of stress or impatience, or they could come from your desire to get things done independently. It’s best to apply energy productively to completing projects that are unfinished or even to get ahead of yourself. It’s a strong period for feeling motivated for starting a new health or fitness routine.

Aries (Born April 1 to 10)
AND Aries Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Aries:
July 2025 Aries Career, & General Trends
July 2025
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
All month:
With the Sun spotlighting your house of family and home, these areas are your instinctive focus during this period. Your family, home, property concerns, roots, and heritage come into focus and become a source of pride. You are likely quite preoccupied with feelings of security and your inner experiences. This is a time when you send down roots and seek a feeling of belonging. You could be thrust into a position of leadership on the home front.
Ego confrontations with family members are possible now, but the best way to handle this energy is to do your best to strengthen your relationship with your family and your home base. This is a time to do what you can to build trust in your family life and a strong foundation within yourself so that regardless of what you meet in the outside world over the next months, you have a secure place to return to. Besides spending more time tending to domestic affairs, the focus can be on cultivating and nourishing the inner foundations that support you and your growth. This is a time to collect yourself–to fill your well, so to speak.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until the 13th:
Venus continues to grace your solar second house during this period. You might receive gifts or bonuses now, or you find much comfort in what you already own and have. You may be a little extravagant with money for the time being, as your desire for luxury and comfort items is increased now, and this is something to watch for.

You are especially good at mediating conflicts. Smoothing over differences using your diplomacy skills figures now.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Until July 5th:
Mercury continues to transit your solar fourth house. Your thoughts tend to revolve around personal matters, especially family, home, and domestic issues. You enjoy, more than usual, discussions and stories about the past and about family.
You are more rational and objective when it comes to your relationships with those close to you, so it is, in fact, a good time to open up discussions with family. There can be increased activities in and around the home during this cycle. You are not as interested in worldly matters and career as you are in your personal life for the time being.
From July 6th forward:
Mercury transits your solar fifth house. During this cycle, there is a powerful mental connection with your creative self-expression. You are proud of your ideas, and very good at expressing them to others smoothly now. Your thinking is more creative than usual. You tend to entertain others with your conversation; and your sense of humor (and of mischief!) is especially strong.
Your thoughts turn to children, pleasures, or romance during this expressive cycle. You might enjoy researching speculative ventures now. You especially enjoy games that involve competing with others on a mental level. You have a stronger need than usual for intellectual stimulation. Therefore, your friends and romantic partner are best appreciated now if they are intellectual types. You’re more willing to take risks on a mental level now, so take advantage of the increased spontaneity and creativity that comes with this position.
Mercury is retrograde from July 18th to August 11th:
All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications in general and job or health-related communications because Mercury rules these areas of your life. There can be delays or rethinking with these matters.

Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until July 4th:
Mars continues to energize your solar fifth house. This brings increased energy and enthusiasm to romance, child-rearing, and creative or recreational endeavors. It can also bring some strife to these areas of your world in some cases. For the most part, however, a romance could pick up pace, you are self-motivated and inspired on creative and expressive levels, and your self-confidence is well-received by others during this cycle. You are more willing to take little risks and you are competitive in a mostly friendly way. In your enthusiasm to take the lead, try to be sensitive to and respectful of others’ needs.
From July 5th forward:
Mars animates and energizes your solar sixth house. You have more energy for work and your daily routines tend to speed up during this transit. Perhaps you have a larger workload than usual. It’s a great time to take charge of your health. You have much energy at your disposal to pick up (or step up) a health and physical activity program. It might be hard for you to work with others in a harmonious manner during this transit, and disputes with co-workers are possible. If you are feeling especially angry, frustrated, or restless, it would be wise to find little projects and things to do so that you can channel excess energy constructively. If health is affected, fevers or infections are more likely.

AND Aries Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Aries:
July 2025 Aries Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
July 2025
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until July 11th:
The Sun continues to highlight your solar third house–a time of the year in which you are most likely to be a “busy bee”. Communications, short trips, errand-running, and general busy-ness feature now. You could have a finger in many pies, so to speak, as your curiosity is piqued by a larger variety of things than usual. Used well, this could be a period in which you come up with solutions to a number of problems. You are more inclined to take pride in your intellectual accomplishments and/or your ability to socialize and make connections.
From July 12th forward:
With the Sun spotlighting your house of family and home, these areas are your instinctive focus during this period.

Occurring in your solar fourth house this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to family relations, real estate matters, and domestic issues. Be as non-judgmental as you can with family members. It may be challenging to keep a healthy perspective regarding deeply personal matters and family. Family members may be on edge, or appear to be. Home repairs may not turn out as expected. Try to put off major decision- making with regards to home improvement, moving, and family matters for the time being. New initiatives surrounding home and property are best left for a better time, but reworking and reorganizing your home can be especially fruitful now.

If you are feeling especially angry, frustrated, or restless, it would be wise to find little projects and things to do so that you can channel excess energy constructively. If health is affected, fevers or infections are more likely.
Overview Horoscope:
July 2025 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Aries:
You’re paying more attention and pouring more energy into family, living conditions, and nesting in July, dear Aries. Your instincts are strong in these areas! You’re also motivated to boost your daily routines and efforts toward improved wellness. As the month advances, romantic and creative themes amplify.
You could be in the relative background for much of July, with an emphasis on your sector of home and family and your ruling planet tucked away in your solar sixth house. You enjoy a great deal of positivity in your work matters and living conditions. Self-improvement efforts can be magnificent with several influences on your solar chart encouraging you to rebuild or rework something to make your life better. This can be a work project, efforts to manage your personal space, time invested in maintaining a prized possession, or a project related to improving your health and well-being. It may be that anger or frustration over your current situation motivates your improvement efforts, and this is a constructive use of Mars energy!
Still, Venus spends much of the month (the 4th to the 30th) in your communications house, lacing the month with a lively spirit. You present your ideas and comments with charm and ease during this cycle. Making social connections and sharing your thoughts come more smoothly and naturally. Your studies, interests, learning, and connecting are more enjoyable and satisfying. Transportation can be pleasant. It’s a good time to expand your mind and connect with others through the mind. Falling in love through the power of words is not out of the question. You might discover new and more satisfying ways to express yourself–you’re expanding your options! You express both your feelings and ideas with the same ease. This transit can help buffer some of the misunderstandings Mercury’s retrograde from the 18th forward can bring.
Uranus becomes a long-term guest in your solar third house just a few days after Venus heads into this sector, but it will stay much longer! Uranus here can introduce you to a broader and perhaps eclectic array of mental interests. This long-term cycle revolutionizes the ways you communicate and connect with the world around you. You’ll be opening up and expressing your unique ideas more often. As you think differently, you communicate differently. Your daily life is bound to become very colorful, although possibly also a little unpredictable or chaotic. Regular encounters with neighbors, relatives, and acquaintances, as well as everyday activities and business activities, may be changing quite dramatically. This year, this Uranus transit lasts from July 7th to November 7th, but it will continue from April 2026 forward for many years.
You can make some exciting discoveries around the Full Moon on the 10th, but you’re also likely to be called to action if you’ve been too heavily engrossed in your personal life. You may be called to task or simply required to fill a responsibility and take the lead now. It may be a time of promotion, culmination, or a turning point in a project.
Mercury turns retrograde on the 18th, offering you the chance (or need) to review your goals with the creative or playful side of your life, and this can be a blessing in disguise. Now is the time to process and digest recent events and ideas. Reviving or reworking old projects are possible themes. While you shouldn’t get stuck in the past, a review can be appropriate, profitable, and beneficial. You might breathe new life into old projects or consider ways to break out of a rut. Waiting for information can be frustrating, but in the meantime, you can accomplish a lot.
Neptune, Saturn, and Chiron are all visiting your sign, and this month, all three bodies turn retrograde! These retrogrades detach you just enough from your current responsibilities, ideals, and dreams for you to gain a new perspective on them. While you may lose some wind in your sails just for now, the retrograde cycles ultimately bring about more balance in your life. You are maturing and learning to rely on yourself during this phase of your life.
Especially from the 22nd onward, expressing yourself creatively helps you define and understand yourself better. Love, love affairs, and other social activities are in stronger focus. On this date, the Sun heads into your sector of joy, pleasure, pastimes, and creativity, encouraging you to follow your heart. You might also see a past matter related to hobbies, creativity, romance, or children in a brand new way in the last few days of the month. The information, conversations, or connections you make at this time can be significant.
While Venus moves into your home and family sector on the 30th, and there’s more focus on home life ahead of you, there is a shift emerging that turns your attention to more outgoing, creative, sociable, and pleasure-seeking activities. As problems smooth out on the home front, you feel freer to explore, experiment, and enjoy new pleasures.

About Our Monthly Horoscopes:
Our detailed monthly horoscopes are designed to reveal and interpret the current transits of the Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Mars in your solar chart.
Because these energies or transits do not unfold neatly into any given calendar month (many transits carry forward from one month to the next), you will find some of the energies continue from the previous month.
For example, the Sun might transit the fifth house of your solar chart from July 22 to August 22, so that you will find a similar interpretation for this transit in both July and August’s horoscope. This is normal and expected. While new months can hold new energy, transits don’t abruptly change because the calendar month changes.
These monthly horoscopes also include an overview paragraph, as well as other energies specific to the month, such as retrogrades, eclipses, or major outer planet transits.
The Highlights section reveals lunar cycle dates. Lunar cycles repeat themselves approximately every 28 days, so it is normal to see the same lunar peaks, such as “Your Personal New Moon” and “Monthly career peak” repeat themselves from month to month, but with different dates. They serve as a helpful guide to cycle peaks in different areas of life, such as financial, career, romance, and partnership.
The horoscopes are divided into three groups or decanates, and the differences between the groups are subtle in parts and large in other parts. For those who prefer a whole sign approach to horoscopes (classic), simply read the first decanate regardless of your birthdate.
