Weekly Astrology Forecast: July 21-25, 2025
This week's astrology is intense. It's a turning point. A karmic purge on Monday clears space for a powerful Leo New Moon on Thursday. In between, expect insight, tension, and emotional clarity. By the end of the week, we won't be the same as when we started. Let's walk through the fire and find the gold.
Monday, July 21 – Karmic Pressure & Emotional Crossroads
Mars conjunct South Node in Virgo
Venus in Gemini square Mars and the Nodes
Moon conjunct Venus | Sun at 29° Cancer
We start the week with a clash of past patterns and present tension. Mars, the planet of action, meets the South Node—our karmic past—in Virgo. This is a call to sever ties with perfectionism, martyrdom, or burnout that no longer serves your growth.
Venus in Gemini forms a tight square to Mars and the Node axis. Conversations, relationships, or desires may stir up old drama. You might feel trapped in familiar patterns. The lesson lies in your response, not your reaction. Feel more than you speak.
The Sun at 29° Cancer marks an emotional tipping point. It brings a final wave of nostalgia and a push to release what no longer nurtures you. The past can't accompany you on your journey ahead.
This is the emotional and energetic purge that sets the stage for something new.
Tuesday, July 22 – Breakthrough Energy, Clouded Emotions
Sun enters Leo
Sun sextile Uranus (0° Gemini)
Moon in Cancer squares Saturn + Neptune in Aries, then conjuncts Jupiter
The Sun enters Leo, igniting your desire to shine and express yourself. This isn't merely about ego; it's about evolution. As the Sun sextiles Uranus in Gemini, expect a creative or mental breakthrough. A sudden insight or bold idea may shift how you see yourself and your path.
However, the Moon in Cancer remains tender. Its squares to Saturn and Neptune in Aries may bring confusion and emotional fatigue. You might second-guess your vision or feel blocked. Stay with it.
By evening, the Moon conjuncts Jupiter, bringing a wave of optimism, softness, and faith in the bigger picture.
Wednesday, July 23 – Sacred Thresholds
Moon in Cancer sextile Mars in Virgo
Sun trine Saturn in Aries
Neptune sextile Pluto (both retrograde)
Wednesday offers a gentle invitation: Feel what's real. Move softly. Let the day guide you toward small, grounded actions that help you integrate everything you've been carrying.
The Sun's trine to Saturn in Aries adds stability to your efforts. Whatever you build today has lasting power. There is structure in softness and discipline within nurturing.
The Moon in Cancer makes a soothing sextile to Mars in Virgo, encouraging healing through humble tasks. Cook something nourishing. Clean a space that holds emotional residue. Organize what feels tangled. Let your hands do what your heart can't yet articulate. This isn't scattered emotion; it's focused care with a solid foundation.
Let that softness guide you. This harmonious aspect invites you to feel your way forward through gentle action and nurturing care.
Beneath all of this lies a rare cosmic whisper: retrograde Neptune sextile retrograde Pluto at 2°. This is a soft but seismic call to evolve your soul's relationship to truth, vision, and power. You are being rewritten from the inside out—slowly, quietly, with sacred precision.
This is not a day of drama, but it is a day of deep inner movement. The action is emotional. The clarity is spiritual. The future speaks through your feelings.
Make space for it.
Thursday, July 24 – New Moon in Leo: A Creative Rebirth
New Moon at 2° Leo (2:11 PM CT)
Opposition to Pluto retrograde in Aquarius
Trine to Neptune and Saturn in Aries
This is the heart of the week—and the turning point. The New Moon in Leo opposes Pluto retrograde in Aquarius, revealing the tension between personal power and collective evolution. This isn't just a surface-level reset. It's a deep reprogramming of identity, creativity, and visibility.
Who are you when you're not performing for approval? What truth are you here to express? What power are you reclaiming?
The trines to Neptune and Saturn in Aries offer sacred support: Dream with discipline. Create with courage. Structure your spiritual calling. This is your time to plant seeds of sovereign expression, not ego-driven ambition.
Friday, July 25 – Emotional Clarity and Heartfelt Words
Moon in Leo conjunct Mercury retrograde
Moon sextile Venus in Gemini
The day after the New Moon, the Moon meets Mercury retrograde in Leo. Now the heart speaks—and it speaks from the past, but with new understanding.
Mercury retrograde during this rebirth moment isn't coincidence; it's an invitation. Revisit old creative projects with fresh eyes. Have conversations that were left unfinished. Reclaim parts of your voice that got lost along the way.
The sextile to Venus in Gemini adds charm, humor, and lightness to the mix. This is where understanding begins to rise after a powerful emotional reset.

This week is a journey through release, reflection, and rebirth. Monday clears karmic clutter. Tuesday sparks a creative shift. Wednesday brings grounded peace. Thursday births a bold new chapter.
