July 2025 Energy Update
July 2025 marks a major turning point in the collective psyche
From an astrological perspective, we have been in an extended energetic period for several years now, which has felt like a state of suspension. The prevailing themes have been uncertainty and confusion which have resulted in a tense, pressurised energy, played out globally as major disruption.
July sees several astrological events which precipitate the next phase of transformation. The energy will manifest both collectively and personally, and we will begin to get a glimpse of how the future might look. We are all undergoing an inner re-configuration which challenges our ego constructs and the structures and routines we have built in our lives to ensure we have a grip on ‘reality’.
We may be faced with the fact that our realities are not so certain after all. The long-awaited conjunction with Saturn and Neptune confronts us with the limits of our illusions. Collective, inherited ideologies may begin to change, resulting in the building of new systems and structures over the coming years. The conjunction is not exact until February 2026 but, we get a sense of this energy in July and events happening now may indicate the bigger changes to come.
Uranus, associated with awakening, is changing signs in July, marking the start of an era of disruption and breakthroughs in our thinking and our awareness. It is another signpost to rapid expansion and transformation in the way we communicate. We can expect technology and AI to develop in unexpected ways. An adage for Uranus is ‘expect the unexpected’. It is possible that we cannot even conceive of the changes to come.
By the end of the month, we may have more clarity and insight into what changes we can expect in our lives. Even if external progress is minimal, our internal re-alignment is now making rapid progress. How you experience the energy personally depends on which areas of your life are being activated.
Dates to note in July are:
The 7th when we may experience disruption in technology and communication, mental anxiety and restlessness. This energy can play out over several days and even weeks.
On the 10th we have a full moon. The focus will be the polarity that exists between our emotional needs and our external responsibilities.
Mercury turns retrograde on 17th July. Disruption to travel and planned events is possible, as are delays in any negotiations, deals or projects.
On 22nd July, the sun moves into the astrological sign of Leo. The energy lightens as the focus shifts from our inner-self and our responsibility to our families; to our outward expression and importantly to enjoying ourselves and having fun.
The 24th July sees a new moon in Leo. This is an opportunity to set intentions that focus on ourselves rather than others. We may feel a surge of creativity and have more confidence in expressing ourselves. If we have any ideas that we haven’t yet implemented, now is the time to execute them.
