In the Stars June 29-July 6, 2025 . . . Shining Light on the Astrology of the Week

Summer Fun in the Water

With the Sun now in Cancer, the focus for the next month is on home and family, cooking and gardening, sensitivity and caring. Spruce up your home. Invite friends and family for a home cooked meal. Express extra care and concern for those in your circle who are lonely, ill, and or in distress.

Mars is now in Virgo through August 6. Mars in Virgo is good for self-discipline, building an exercise routine, and getting detailed tasks completed. Venus moves into Gemini on Saturday, July 5, highlighting communication, siblings, and short-distance excursions through August 1.

Sunday, June 29, Mercury opposes Pluto. Dive deep into a problem to be solved. You can access deep understanding.

On Independence Day, Friday July 4, Neptune makes a station and turns retrograde. When planets are stationary, their energy is amplified. In this case, vision, imagination, and idealism run strong. Venus is opposite Uranus, so expect something surprising, possibly having to do with love or money.

Saturn will turn retrograde next week on July 13. Mercury will turn retrograde on July 18. Complete communication and travel plans before the three-week Mercury retrograde period begins.

Uranus is now at the last degree of Taurus, and will be changing signs from Taurus to Gemini on July 8. In July and August Uranus will be trine Pluto in Aquarius. Saturn and Neptune will be in Aries at the midpoint between Uranus and Pluto in sextile aspect. This will be a potent combination for ideas, innovations, and information.

Moon Void of Course: This is the time when the Moon makes its last major angular aspect with a planet before it moves into the next zodiacal sign tropically. This void time, when the Moon is not aspecting a planet, but rather floating on its own, is a time when things don’t come together and it is difficult to make good decisions. Purchases made during void Moons often turn out to be unsatisfactory and not work out. Appointments often don’t come together, and meetings don’t result in progress or sound, lasting decisions. We more easily get lost or meander in trying to get somewhere. The VoC Moon times for the next month are listed below so that you can plan meetings, decisions, and purchases at times when the Moon is not VoC; and use the void times for gardening, reading, and routine task work.
