Astrological monthly forecast for July 2025
We leave the first half of the Year of the Wooden Snake behind us….
The first half of the year 2025 was marked by a heavy eclipse season and the long-term Mars/Pluto opposition.
Mars in Virgo is also the prophet of doom in July 2025 and can really heat up geopolitical emotions, especially in the first week of July 2025.
Until the end of July 2025, Mars in Virgo will remain opposite the North Node in Pisces.
The last time Mars in Virgo was opposite the North Node in Pisces was in July 1914, the beginning of the First World War.
Mars in Virgo opposite the North Node in Pisces in July 2025 indicates not only geopolitical tension, but also great volatility in global financial markets.
The month of July 2025 brings an energy of transformation and re-evaluation.
We are in the early stages of a huge paradigm shift that will redefine the global economy.
As the tension between Jupiter and Saturn slowly fades, there will be some recovery in the economy and with the entry of Uranus in Gemini, technological development will take a leap forward.
In addition to the major energy shift of Uranus in Gemini, we will also be dealing with two major retrogrades, of Saturn and of Neptune in Aries.
From July 4, 2025, Neptune will be in retrograde in fiery Aries.
Neptune distorts reality, and Aries rules conflict, so we will be inundated with false information, cyber warfare and virtual deception, war and incidents at sea, sabotage, and high prices for oil and gas.

Uranus at the very last degree 29º in Taurus (araretic or critical degree) can be the cause of unrest on the financial markets, armed conflicts, and dramatic developments in the Middle East.
The entry of Uranus into mutable Gemini from July 8, 2025 (provisionally until November 7, 2025) is the prelude to a long period of technological development until 2032.
The volatile influence of Uranus in Gemini has been clearly present for weeks.
There is increased seismological activity, many volcanoes are active simultaneously worldwide, there is a trade war and there is an increase in cybercrime, plane crashes, fires and accidents in the transport sector.
The economic and geopolitical situation will first deteriorate significantly due to the influence of Uranus in Gemini, before improvement can take place.
Uranus in Gemini will bring a lot of commotion, but it does offer the potential for scientific discoveries, futuristic technology, virtual reality, an exponential growth of AI, the digital footprint, implanted technology, laser weapons, and robotics.
This development is accompanied by significant energy consumption, making hydrogen, solar energy, and wind energy necessary.
With Uranus in Gemini we see great technological progress, especially in the field of transport such as self-driving electric cars. Initiatives to combat plastic pollution, such as reuse, recycling and surcharges on plastic and disposable cups, are gaining ground worldwide.
With Uranus in dualistic Gemini, words take on a completely different meaning, and reality will become even more fragmented than it already is, a kind of deprogramming of our conscious thinking, a new collective mentality.
Freedom around information will become an important topic of conversation, especially around social media and privacy legislation.

The intense Full Moon in Capricorn on July 10, 2025 brings to light issues of security, structure, and responsibility.
Saturn in Aries, the ruler of this Full Moon squares Jupiter in Cancer.
Dreams may be within reach, but this aspect makes dreams deceptive or too ambitious, which means plans have to be adjusted.

From July 13, 2025, Saturn goes retrograde in the fire sign Aries.
Both Saturn retrograde in Aries and Neptune retrograde in the first decan of Aries have a major impact on a global level. Saturn retrograde until November 28, 2025 shows a period of structural delays in regulations, recession and inflation, as well as reorganizations and mergers.

In mid-July 2025, Jupiter will be at 7º in Cancer, Saturn at 1º in Aries, and Uranus at 0º in Gemini.
July 2025 could therefore be a crucial month for the war between Russia and Ukraine and the trade war between China and America. A split in the Republican Party could weaken Trump’s position.
A weakened United States would mean that maintaining the world order would become increasingly challenging and offer opportunities for authoritarian powers such as China and Russia.
Also, in mid-July 2025, a conjunction will form between Saturn and Neptune in Aries.
The conjunction of Saturn and Neptune in Aries marks a crucial moment of transformation, in which the structure of Saturn is united with the idealism of Neptune in Aries.
No fewer than five exact conjunctions between Saturn and Neptune will increasingly clarify how the world will look until 2028.
Only from mid-2026 will Saturn break away from Neptune and sustainable structures be formed. Until then, boundaries will be trampled on, and violence will be met with armed force.
From July 18, 2025, Mercury will also go retrograde in the fire sign Leo.
The second retrograde Mercury of 2025 between July 18 and August 2025, can have a quite negative impact on manners and all forms of communication. It will be almost impossible to remain objective during this period. A period of cyberattacks, internet outages, power cuts, strikes, delays and conflicting media reports. Mercury also rules trade, transport, data traffic, radio and TV, communication, education, thinking, and perception.
Due to retrograde Mercury in Leo, it is wise to check facts and information.

The New Moon in Leo on July 24, 2025 forms a trine with retrograde Saturn and Neptune and a sextile with Uranus in Gemini. So far, so good, but due to retrograde Mercury in Leo, we must still take into account problems with the electricity grid or technological warfare.
A backup of computer data is advisable.

From mid-July 2025, the rare alignment between Uranus in Gemini and Pluto in Aquarius begins. This trine in the element of Air will continue to unfold between 2026 and May 2029, culminating in an exact trine on July 18, 2026.
This rare trine between Uranus and Pluto sets systemic changes in motion.
The last time Uranus trine Pluto was a hundred years ago, the 1920s, the Roaring Twenties.
The world was experiencing rapid social and technological change, such as the advent of the automobile, electricity in the home, radio, and Hollywood movies, so you can only imagine what is about to happen in this time!
On July 25, 2025, the Sun at 2º in Leo is exactly opposite retrograde Pluto in Aquarius.
This intensely challenging opposition occurs once a year and can lead to manipulation, power struggles, and the need to transform or let go of what no longer serves you, especially in the areas of authority and individuality.
From July 30, 2025, Chiron turns retrograde in Aries, which shows that the time for reconciliation has arrived, so that inner healing can be focused on.
Saturn conjunct Neptune (both retrograde) in Aries at the end of July 2025 indicates a pause, slowdown or revision. A kind of cosmic pause button.
After the turbulent summer of 2025, we will enter a somewhat ‘calmer’ atmosphere, astrologically speaking. A gradual economic recovery is expected and peace negotiations can start that will last until the first half of 2026.
Although changes do not happen overnight, the world is increasingly stabilizing and improving.
With the interplanetary collaboration between Uranus in Gemini and Neptune in Aries (sextile), a balance can be achieved between August and November 2025,
The conjunction of Saturn and Neptune in Aries, exactly on February 20, 2026, can be a great support for our battered world that longs for peace.
I wish you all a safe July.
Kind regards from Marlies Goovers
