Your July 2025 Horoscope for Cancer
by Susan MillerIn an extraordinary year when ALL the outer planets are in the process of changing signs, Saturn has just moved to the very top of your chart. Saturn is here for the first time since April 1996 to February 1999, so it took 29 years to make it back to Aries and your professional tenth house of honors, awards, and achievement. Saturn is only staying until September 1 when he’ll go back to Pisces to tie up loose ends. Saturn entered this area of your chart on May 24 this year, so you are getting a little preview of what is to come in much stronger fashion when Saturn moves into Aries more permanently on February 13, 2026 (through April 12, 2028).
It seems things are bubbling up in your career, and you may be working in a new area of your specialty. You may already feel the pressure mounting to prove your mettle, a process which will take you until April 2028. If you work with Saturn by concentrating, giving your all to the challenges at hand, and learning the ropes in a new area, by next spring you will be on a new level, gaining the respect of others in your industry.
Saturn was in a tight, hard 90-degree angle to the new moon that recently appeared in Cancer on June 25, so you may note that your sense of freedom to choose what you like will be somewhat limited by day-to-day practical professional pressures. However, you can work with this aspect as you proceed through the year. You will get a breather when Saturn retreats to Pisces on September 1 to tie up loose ends (a good placement for you, as Pisces is divinely compatible with your Cancer Sun). You may notice that the pressure at work will drop from September 1, 2025, to February 13, 2026, when Saturn moves back to Pisces. After that, you will be working hard to make a name for yourself in your career, but the good part is, someone is taking your talents seriously and giving you the chance to show what you can do. There will be a more senior person to mentor you throughout the process.
Moving to look at other planetary aspects in July, Mars is now in Virgo lighting your third house of quick, short travel, so you may decide to take a long weekend away. You seem to have a lot going on at work, so it may be hard for you to take a longer vacation these days, but you have to look at your unique circumstances.
