Astrological Forecast and Tips for July 14–21, 2025
Mercury Retrograde in Leo
Mercury Retrograde begins on July 14, 2025, and lasts until August 7, 2025. During this time, communication, travel, and technology may experience disruptions. In Leo, this retrograde encourages us to reflect on our self-expression, creativity, and personal identity. It’s a time to reassess how we communicate our passions and desires.
- Mystical Tip: Use this period for introspection. Journal about your creative projects and how you can express yourself more authentically. Avoid making major decisions or starting new ventures until after the retrograde.
- Ritual: Perform a cord-cutting ritual to release any negative patterns in communication. Light a candle, visualize the cords connecting you to past misunderstandings, and snip them with scissors, releasing the energy.
Last Quarter Moon in Aries
The Last Quarter Moon occurs on July 18, 2025, in the fiery sign of Aries. This phase is about letting go and making space for new beginnings. Aries energy encourages us to take bold actions and assert ourselves. It’s a perfect time to release what no longer serves us and to prepare for the upcoming New Moon.
- Mystical Tip: Focus on what you want to release. Create a list of habits, thoughts, or relationships that you wish to let go of. This is a powerful time for decluttering your life.
- Ritual: Write down what you want to release on a piece of paper. Safely burn the paper under the Last Quarter Moon, allowing the smoke to carry your intentions into the universe.
Mars in Virgo
Mars enters Virgo on July 20, 2025, bringing a practical and analytical energy to our actions. This transit encourages us to focus on productivity, organization, and health. It’s an excellent time to set intentions related to self-improvement and to take actionable steps toward our goals.
- Mystical Tip: Use this energy to create a plan for your personal projects. Break down your goals into manageable tasks and prioritize your well-being.
- Ritual: Create a protection spell for your workspace. Use herbs like rosemary and sage to cleanse the area, and set intentions for focus and productivity. Visualize a protective barrier around your workspace as you work.
