Transits in the sky for July

Astrology Transits for July 2025

It's time to look at the sky for the coming month of July.

Sunday, July 6th 

Main Event: Fasting for 11th day of the increasing Moon

Thursday, July 10th 

Main Event: Full Moon in Purvashadha constellation, Guru Purnima

This Full Moon is all about honouring teachers and guides and the wisdom that they gracefully share. Thursday is energetically the day of guru as it belongs to the planet Jupiter which is known as Guru.

This is a powerful moment to align to your teachers, offer them gifts or prayers of thanks, and to keep alive that connection by which you are supported to grow on your journey.

Purvashadha is strongly connected to the water element, so water is a great element to use on this Full Moon, go for a swim or in the ocean, or have a bowl of water in your Full Moon ritual. It is the water element bringing together that inspires the teamwork themes inherent in Purvashadha.

Full Moons energetically indicate fulfilment and completion, so this is a great time to see how the connections in life are working and to see the subtle synchronicities. Perhaps the connections you need are at hand but you need to sit still to gain the clarity to see them for what they are.

If the Ardra energies of New Moon have compelled you to leave things behind or let go, then this Full Moon invites you to fill that space with new connections, or more connections with that which you feel called to.

Sunday, July 13th 

Main Event: Saturn turns retrograde

Saturn comes to a standstill and begins retrograde motion. Saturn is quite happy at present in Pisces and in his own constellation Uttara Bhadrapada. Saturn related themes will gain an even deeper gaze while Saturn goes retrograde. Typically this moment calls us to take our hard work and persistance to another level (sometimes hard to imagine it's possible).

Still, it's best to think of Saturn as a teacher of greatness and when he gazes at you, then you are being brought to the greatest version of yourself. It's a particularly strong moment for Pisces, Virgo and Sagittarius by aspects.

Sagittarius will get a special lift after New Moon when the energy of Saturn both landing on Sagittarius are harmonised by the constellation Pushya (see below).

Wednesday, July 16th  

Main Event: Sun enters Cancer

Sun leaves Jupiter behind and enters Cancer amplifying emotions, sensitivity and intuition. Sun is very happy here in his friend's sign and is very happy to be close to coming to his home, Leo. Sun in this part of sky is moving through the third eye aiding in our clarity, wisdom and ability to see through the fog of the waves of the material energy.

Friday, July 18th  

Main Event: Mercury turns retrograde

The next Mercury retrograde is upon us for the next few weeks until August 11th. This retrograde is wholly within the sign of Cancer. Cancer is a tricky place for Mercury as his intellectual nature tends to clash with the more emotional and sensitive lunar themes here. Strictly speaking Moon and Mercury are enemies to each other (more father/son dynamics) and here we will tend to experience a dialog between feelings and calculation. With Mercury in Cancer we need to let the feelings over-ride the intellect as much as possible. The time for intellect to shine in its own strength is coming as Mercury gets to Virgo in the coming months.

Monday, July 21st  

Main Event: Fasting for 11th day of decreasing Moon, Mars/Ketu conjunction

Mars aligns to Ketu over the coming week until he leaves Leo. This brings added to fire to the already fiery Mars. It's also a time where conflict can boil over and an overbearing energy of force to enter into relationships. It's a time for significant caution as Ketu can bring unexpected events, usually tied to the past.

Mars may well find a moment to let out frustration that has been brewing for many months and that can play out over these days. As the Moon decreases too, the energies of the Moon are not so strong to handle Mars' outbursts. In a word, caution.

Friday, July 25th  

Main Event: New Moon in Pushya constellation

Pushya is considered the best of all of the 27 constellations. In the heart of Cancer it exemplifies abundance in all of its forms. It connects to the energy of Guru, always generously giving to the student, regardless of whether the student is reciprocating perfectly.

The coming four weeks will resonate with the energies of abundance and it is a wonderful time to grow and expand what you do and how you do it. It's also a great month to embark on further studies as we welcome the energy of Brihaspati, the guru of the gods, during this time.

Pushya is sybolised by a cow and calf and this eternal archetype of nourishment. How am I nourishing myself? And how am I nourishing others? These questions help to guide the energies of Pushya into a healthy place.

Pushya is connected to Saturn and here Saturn gives his endurance and patience in the realm of giving. So it is a wonderful time to donate, give in charity, help others and in turn help ourselves.

Saturday, July 26th  

Main Event: Venus enters Gemini

Venus is happy in Gemini after being home for a few weeks, he is venturing out into the networking and connecting themes of Gemini. This is a great time to forge new partnerships, work on projects with others and call in help from outside. Venus loves teamwork and sharing what you love.

Monday, July 28th  

Main Event: Mars enters Virgo

We can now see Mars free of the Ketu influence and expressing himself very happily in Virgo. Here the focus of Mars is to help others and the transit can bring great inspiration to do very big deeds for others. Mars loves to show his abilities here and it is a good transit for those with strong Mars to jump into new endeavours or new directions.
