Your July 2025 Horoscope for Leo
by Susan MillerA new moon in one’s own sign only happens once a year, and it’s quite special, especially if it is well aspected (friendly to other planets) like this one will be for you. This new moon, July 24, will still affect you as you enter August, too. It is your cosmic gift certificate to use as you please. It will ask you what part of your life would you like to improve. With Mercury retrograde, you’ll have plenty of time to think back to see which actions you took that worked and which ones did not—and why. Life is a laboratory where we continually create the role we want to assume. Make plans, and be ready to act next month.
Although Mercury will still be retrograde on August 9, that is the date of the coming full moon in Aquarius, and it is glorious. Be ready to unveil a new product, service, or personal decision to family, friends, and the rest of the world. Mercury will go direct on August 10 (3:28 pm August 10 in New York City), so this planet will be very close to turning positive.
When I make predictions that will influence you, I have to look at the entire sky, not just one aspect. This full moon in Aquarius, 17 degrees, is so important and fortunate that I say it will override any hiccups that Mercury could bring while retrograde. You may later have to make a few tweaks to the action you take on August 9, but that’s a minor point. This full moon of Saturday August 9 is a shining jewel, and I love it. I think you will too!
SUMMARY
Last month brought positive developments in at least one important area of your life, even if the evidence is not entirely clear yet at this time. Jupiter, the giver of gifts and luck, was conjunct the Sun, your brilliant ruler, as well as the new moon, both in Cancer last month on June 25. Good things are happening for you offstage, perhaps in the background or behind closed doors, and are not yet out in the open for you or others to see. You will need to be patient. VIPs—people who matter to your future—are lauding your performance, but you may not be aware of their fine estimation of you quite yet.
