Weekly General Astrology Forecast July 21st – 27 2025

Don’t be afraid to be weak Don’t be too proud to be strong Just look into your heart, my friend That will be the return to yourself The return to innocence

Enigma. Return to Innocence

This week brings one of the most extraordinary new moons of the year. The Leo new moon on July 24th is a cosmic recalibration that demands we examine how we’ve been giving our power away.

Standing in direct opposition to Pluto in Aquarius, this New Moon in Leo creates a fierce tension between individual sovereignty and group think. How many times have you compromised your truth to fit in? How often have you dimmed your light to make others comfortable?

But here’s where it gets exciting. This same new moon forms an extraordinary trine to both Saturn and Neptune in Aries—a cosmic gift that has been building for months. Saturn gives us the backbone to implement what Neptune has been guiding our soul compass towards.

Your dreams, visions, and creative fire you’ve been nurturing? The universe is saying GO. It’s time to commit and make your dream a reality.

The Sun’s entry into Leo on the 22nd lights the fuse, but with Mercury still retrograde in the lion’s den, expect some cosmic curveballs. The sextile between the Sun and Uranus in Gemini on the 23rd brings sudden insights. It’s going to be electrifying and surprising.

Happily, this can be a week of reinvention, recapturing our passion for what we used to love and enjoy, and returning to our heart centre. In fact, if your heart has no longer been your guide and your compass, possibly due to others sowing those seeds of self-doubt, the new Moon in Leo will see you realign to it. And tune out all that negative static!

Time to retune to our heart’s key wisdom. And its ability to discern what’s right and aligned with our souls. And what isn’t. We’re all born knowing this intuitively. But life and other people who have sadly lost their own heart-centered connection, impact on us as we get older. Because the Mercury retrograde in Leo follows the same path as the previous Mars one, we have this opportunity to back-track and reclaim this. And also revive our trust, courage and childlike wonder.

The essence is very much captured in the card of the Six of Cups in the Tarot. Retrogrades rule ‘re’ words. Return to innocence and reclaim your love for yourself during this one.

Venus squaring Mars on the 23rd adds some spice to the mix. Our desires and our actions aren’t quite in sync yet, but that friction creates the very tension needed for breakthrough. Sometimes you have to feel the discomfort of where you are to finally move toward where you belong.

The Sun’s opposition to Pluto on the 25th is intense. This is your cosmic eviction notice from any situation, relationship, or mindset that’s been slowly poisoning your well. Pluto doesn’t mess around but shows you exactly where you’ve been playing small, where you’ve been settling, where you’ve been letting fear make your decisions.

This week is about remembering that your light matters. It’s not ego inflation to acknowledge you are a genuine contribution to the whole. The collective needs what you uniquely bring, not another carbon copy of what everyone else is doing.

In a nutshell: An extraordinary new moon in Leo opposing Pluto demands you stop giving your power away to collective pressures, while a magnificent trine to Saturn and Neptune in Aries provides the cosmic support actually to build your dreams. With Uranus bringing unexpected breakthroughs and Mercury retrograde offering second chances, this is your week to reclaim your sovereignty.
