Daily Astrology Forecast — Saturday, 25 July 2026

The Sky Today

There's a crackling energy in the air today — the kind that makes you want to throw open the windows, speak your truth, and reach for something bigger than yesterday's version of yourself. With the Sun freshly settled into Leo and the Moon galloping through Sagittarius, Saturday the 25th of July carries an unmistakable expansive quality. This is a day built for boldness, big ideas, and genuine optimism — but the cosmos is also asking you to be honest about a few things along the way.


The Leo–Sagittarius Fire

The Sun at just under 3° Leo is still finding its footing in this proud, warm-hearted sign, and today it receives quiet support from Jupiter, which has recently arrived in Leo at 5°. This Sun–Jupiter conjunction is still forming — it hasn't yet reached exactitude — but you can already feel its warmth. There's a generosity of spirit available today, a sense that life is genuinely worth celebrating. Lean into that. Jupiter in Leo invites us to show up fully, to be seen, and to invest in what lights us up rather than what merely ticks boxes.

The Moon in Sagittarius adds philosophical fire to the mix. You may find yourself drawn to big-picture thinking — questioning your direction, your beliefs, or what truly gives your life meaning. This is perfectly appropriate energy. Let the questions breathe.


The Tension Worth Noticing

Not everything is breezy. The Moon in Sagittarius forms a near-exact square to Venus in Virgo today, and this is one to watch. With just a 0.05° orb, it's as tight as it gets. Moon square Venus can stir restlessness in relationships and finances — you may feel the gap between what you want and what currently is. Sagittarius craves freedom and expansion; Virgo wants precision, practicality, and perfection. These two don't always speak the same language.

In relationships, this can surface as a mild irritability or a sense that someone isn't quite meeting you where you are. In your inner world, it might feel like dissatisfaction with the details of daily life when your spirit is hungry for something more meaningful. Acknowledge the feeling — but don't make sweeping decisions based on it today. This tension is temporary and informative, not a verdict.


Mercury and Venus: A Helpful Harmony

Thankfully, Mercury in Cancer forms a lovely sextile to Venus in Virgo (orb under 1°), offering a softening counterpoint to that lunar square. This aspect supports heartfelt, thoughtful communication. If there's something tender you've been meaning to say — an apology, an expression of appreciation, a vulnerable conversation — today's energy supports it beautifully. Words land gently. Listening comes more naturally. Use this while it's here.


The Deeper Currents

Beneath the surface, a remarkable trio of outer planet aspects is quietly reshaping the longer arc of your life. Uranus in Gemini sextiles Neptune in Aries, trines Pluto in Aquarius, while Neptune and Pluto form an exact sextile. These are generational energies — slow-moving, enormous in scope — but their combined effect right now is a loosening of old structures and an invitation to reimagine what's possible. Jupiter opposing Pluto (with just over a degree of orb) adds weight to this: power dynamics are shifting, both collectively and personally. Where in your life are you ready to step into a greater version of your own authority?

Both Neptune and Pluto are currently retrograde, turning this transformative energy inward. The real revolution isn't happening out there — it's happening in your own understanding of yourself.


The Waxing Gibbous Moon

We're building towards a Full Moon in Aquarius on Wednesday, 29th July at 14:35 UTC (15:35 BST). The Waxing Gibbous phase we're in right now is a time of refinement and anticipation — like bread rising in the oven. You're close. Whatever you set in motion at the last New Moon is gaining momentum. Today's invitation is to tend to it carefully: adjust, refine, and trust the process.


Practical Reflections for Today

  1. Say the generous thing. Mercury–Venus in sextile makes this a perfect day for meaningful conversations. Don't let appreciation go unexpressed.
  2. Let the restlessness guide you. If the Moon–Venus square brings up dissatisfaction, ask what it's pointing to rather than suppressing it.
  3. Think big, but don't skip the details. Leo–Sagittarius fire can make everything feel urgent and grandiose. Ground your vision in a practical first step.
  4. Turn inward with the retrogrades. Neptune and Pluto retrograde ask: where are you still operating from an old story about yourself?
  5. Celebrate what's already growing. The Waxing Gibbous Moon rewards those who acknowledge progress, however small.

You don't need to have everything figured out today. The sky is simply asking you to show up with an open heart and a willingness to be honest about what you truly want. That, in itself, is a kind of courage — and the stars are fully behind you in it. 🌙✨
