KEY THEMES

  • Reinvention of Public Identity and Purpose

  • Liberation From Perfectionism

  • Untangling Worth From Productivity

  • Private Healing That Reshapes Public Life

Dear Virgo Rising,

July arrives like a quiet hum beneath the surface, until it doesn’t. On July 7th, Uranus enters Gemini and your 10th house of vocation, public life, and long-term direction. Uranus is the planet of disruption, innovation, and sudden awakening, and as it moves through this highly visible part of your chart over the next several years, it promises to shake loose the old structures you’ve built your identity upon. Titles, roles, ambitions that once felt stable may begin to feel too small. You’re being asked to redefine what success means on your terms. Expect unpredictable turns in career paths, surprising public opportunities, or even a radical reinvention of your reputation. This is about liberation, not collapse. Uranus clears space so something more authentic can emerge, something that reflects not just what you can achieve but who you’re becoming.

On July 10th, the Full Moon in Capricorn rises in your 5th house of creativity, romance, and personal joy. This is a culmination moon, spotlighting the places where you’ve built confidence in your creative voice, or perhaps where you've sacrificed too much in the name of perfection. But what makes this lunation tender is its sextile to the North Node in Pisces, gently pulsing in your 7th house of relationships and partnership. There’s a call here to integrate your desire for individual expression with your need for meaningful connection. To remember that creativity doesn’t exist in a vacuum. It thrives in communion — with others, with muses, with the vulnerability of being seen. Let this moon remind you that joy is not frivolous; it’s foundational.

Then on July 17th, Mercury stations retrograde in Leo, beginning a three-week review in your 12th house of the subconscious, surrender, and spiritual closure. This retrograde may feel quieter than most, but its work runs deep. Old fears, forgotten dreams, or long-buried grief may surface now, not to overwhelm you but to be witnessed with compassion. This is a season for releasing the inner narratives that keep you small or hidden. Ask yourself: What secret longings have I been afraid to claim? Where have I confused safety with invisibility? This retrograde invites you to remember that healing isn’t about erasing the past; it’s about integrating it with tenderness.

By July 24th, the New Moon in Leo lands in your 12th house, directly opposite Pluto in Aquarius in your 6th house of work, health, and daily devotion. This isn’t just a fresh start, it’s a confrontation between the unseen and the hyper-visible, between your private inner world and the routines that structure your everyday life. Pluto’s presence in your 6th house pulls focus on the systems you rely on to keep your world functioning. Are your habits truly serving your well-being, or are they subtle forms of control? Have your work patterns become a way to avoid sitting with discomfort? This New Moon asks you to excavate the unconscious narratives that drive your constant need to optimize, perfect, or self-correct. This New Moon initiates a profound recalibration between effort and ease, between doing and being. It’s not about abandoning responsibility—it’s about untangling your worth from constant productivity. The deeper freedom here isn’t found in controlling your circumstances, but in loosening your grip on them.

July reminds you that liberation often begins inside. Your truth is sacred. And your evolution doesn’t require an audience to be real.

As with anything in life, take what you like and leave the rest with this horoscope.

Grateful to be in this cosmic journey alongside you,

Nadine

KEY DATES

  • July 7th: Uranus enters Gemini

  • July 10th: Full Moon in 18° Capricorn

  • July 17th: Mercury retrograde in Leo

  • July 24th: New Moon in 2° Leo

Full Moon at 18° Capricorn
July 10th, 2025, at 1:36 pm PT

For you, Virgo Rising, this Full Moon lights up your 5th house of creativity, pleasure, and self-expression. It’s not loud, but it’s insistent, like a soft spotlight drawing your attention back to your own heart. Sitting at 18° of Capricorn and forming a sextile to the North Node in Pisces in your 7th house of partnership, this moment blends personal joy with relational meaning. It’s where individual expression meets shared connection, where your creative spark meets the mirror of another.

Capricorn in the 5th wants mastery. It wants to create something meaningful, something lasting. This isn’t about fleeting fun; it’s about building joy with intention. Crafting art, love, or experiences that hold weight and value. But with the North Node humming from the 7th house, this Full Moon also asks: Who is witnessing you? Who do you let in? Your creativity doesn’t exist in isolation. It wants communion. It wants to be shared, received, and reflected back to you through intimacy.

This is a checkpoint. A moment to ask whether your creative pursuits still feel alive, whether your romantic or relational dynamics allow you to feel truly seen. Have you been performing for approval, or expressing from your center? Have your partnerships nourished your joy, or subtly diminished it? The North Node in Pisces reminds you that true connection is mutual. It requires honesty, vulnerability, and trust. Your art, your desires, your love don’t need to be perfectly polished to be worthy of being shared.

And while Capricorn values excellence, this Moon reminds you that your humanity is part of your brilliance. The cracks, the tenderness, the mess—it all belongs. You’re being asked to hold both: the discipline of Capricorn and the openness of Pisces. Mastery and surrender. Craft and intimacy.

Here are some ways to work with this energy:

  • Honor What Feels Alive: If your creativity has felt forced or formulaic, reconnect to what lights you up for its own sake. Let joy lead, even if it’s not “productive.”

  • Examine Your Audience: Consider who you’re creating for, and why. Are you seeking applause, or offering something true? Let your expression be a gift, not a transaction.

  • Soften the Standards: Capricorn’s drive for excellence can become rigid. Give yourself permission to create imperfectly, to love imperfectly, to show up as you are.

  • Let Love Be a Mirror: Pay attention to your partnerships. Are they expanding your sense of self, or asking you to shrink? The right connections will amplify your joy, not mute it.

New Moon at 2° Leo
 July 24th, 2025, at 12:11 pm PT

This New Moon in Leo opens a doorway in your 12th house of the subconscious, spirituality, rest, and release. But with Pluto sitting directly across the sky in your 6th house of work, routines, and service, this isn’t a passive kind of reset. It’s a confrontation between your inner world and your outer systems of control. A reckoning with the deeper forces driving your need to manage, to perform, to stay useful.

Leo rules this corner of your chart, which means even in this house of surrender and undoing, there is a longing to feel radiant, special, chosen. This is the part of you that craves to be seen—not necessarily by the world, but by something greater, even if it’s just your own soul. This New Moon reminds you that your inner light matters, even when no one’s watching. It’s about trusting that your worth isn’t earned through endless service or visible accomplishments, but is inherent, shining quietly even in solitude.

Meanwhile, Pluto in Aquarius demands honesty about the ways you may have used busyness or self-sacrifice to avoid your own needs. The impulse to over-function, to stay productive, to take care of everything can sometimes be a way of sidestepping the vulnerability of being still. The 12th house says, “Let go.” The 6th house says, “Keep it together.” This opposition invites you to witness how tightly you may be holding the reins, and where that control is actually costing you vitality.

This is a chance to reclaim stillness not as passivity, but as sacred creative space. Leo’s fire wants to express itself, even behind closed doors. Your rituals, your private passions, your spiritual practices — they deserve your devotion. Let this be a moment where your inner world becomes a stage for your most honest self. Where joy isn’t something you earn, but something you remember is already alive inside you.

Here are some ways to work with this energy:

  • Make Space for Private Radiance: What brings you joy when no one’s looking? Create time for the passions, prayers, or creative practices that light you up from within.

  • Loosen the Grip on Control: Notice where your daily structures may have become rigid. Trust that healing can happen without managing every outcome.

  • Let Rest Be Regenerative: The more you soften, the more your energy can naturally replenish. Rest is not weakness; it’s a return to source.

  • Recenter Your Spiritual Devotion: Whether through creativity, meditation, or quiet reflection, let your connection to the unseen feel warm, alive, and deeply personal.

Uranus in Gemini: Breaking Out of the Box You Built
July 7th—November 7th, 2025
April 25th, 2026—August 3rd, 2032

Here are planets that shake things up, and Uranus is the cosmic disruptor-in-chief. Wherever it goes, it brings awakenings, upheavals, breakthroughs, and revolution. It doesn’t do comfort. It doesn’t do routine. It’s the planet of electricity, innovation, rebellion, and liberation. Uranus moves slowly, staying in each sign for around 7 years, which makes its influence generational—but deeply personal when it activates a key part of your chart. This is one of those times.

On July 7th, Uranus enters Gemini, beginning a years-long journey through your 10th house of career, public identity, and long-term purpose. This is the house that governs your role in the world, your ambitions, your reputation. And now, all of it is up for reinvention. Uranus doesn’t just tweak your trajectory; it disrupts the blueprint entirely. If you’ve been climbing a ladder that no longer feels like yours, this transit will shake the rungs loose. This is about radical redefinition of success, unexpected pivots, and surprising new directions that better reflect who you are becoming.

Here’s what this transit means for you:

  1. Your Career Becomes a Laboratory
    Uranus in your 10th house invites you to experiment with your vocation. What once felt stable may suddenly feel restrictive. You may feel restless in your current role, pulled toward unconventional opportunities, or driven to pursue paths you never previously considered. This isn’t failure; it’s evolution. Stay open to left-field offers, strange collaborations, and untraditional ways of defining your purpose. Your career doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s.

  2. A Revolution in Public Identity
    This isn’t just about what you do—it’s about how you’re seen. The version of yourself you’ve presented to the world may no longer fit. Titles may shift. Your public persona may take surprising turns. If you’ve felt boxed in by expectations, this is your invitation to break out and show up more fully as yourself. The version of “professionalism” you’ve inherited may be overdue for an upgrade.

  3. Authority Dynamics Shift
    The 10th house also speaks to authority—both the authority you answer to and the authority you claim. You may experience shake-ups with bosses, institutions, or power structures. At the same time, your own leadership may be tested or called forward in unexpected ways. The challenge is to step into your sovereignty without replicating the very hierarchies you’re outgrowing.

  4. The Future of Your Work Is Unwritten
    This is a moment to question old definitions of stability and security. Uranus asks: what kind of work feels meaningful now? What do you want your legacy to actually reflect? You may feel drawn to fields that didn’t exist when you started your career, or pulled toward creating something entirely new. Let the future surprise you. It’s not about predicting what’s next, but staying nimble enough to meet it when it arrives.

  5. Freedom Becomes Non-Negotiable
    At its core, this transit is about liberation. The freedom to shape your own path, to be seen for who you truly are, and to release the scripts that kept you safe but small. The more you try to cling to old structures, the more uncomfortable this will feel. But the more you embrace the unknown, the more exhilarating it becomes.

So yes, this is a radical, destabilizing, exhilarating chapter. Uranus in Gemini wants to unshackle your ambitions and open doors you didn’t even know existed. For you, Virgo Rising, this is a rare invitation to redefine not just what you do, but who you are in the world. Let your path surprise you. Stay curious. Experiment with new directions, even if they don’t make perfect sense yet. Say yes to opportunities that stretch you. Learn the skills that spark your interest, even if they seem tangential now. The future you’re building won’t arrive all at once—it will reveal itself piece by piece as you keep moving forward. You’re not here to follow a map. You’re here to draw one.
