This Week’s Astrology Is a Solar Power Surge—and You’re the Main Character
Weekly Horoscope: July 21–27, 2025
By Storm Cestavani
Welcome to Leo Season, where subtlety goes to die and your main character energy kicks the door open in heels and a monologue. This week isn’t just a slow drip of solar light—it’s a full-on personality parade, with the Sun throwing elbows, making power moves, and shouting “This is who I am!” from the rooftops. Add in a juicy New Moon, an ego-fueled showdown with Pluto, and flirtation that feels like trying to tango in stilettos on an ice rink? You’ve got yourself a week.
The theme? Radical self-expression with a purpose. This isn’t about being loud for the sake of it—it’s about owning your narrative, even if it means admitting you’ve outgrown the one you’ve been living.
Let’s break it down:
Monday, July 21
Moon in Gemini
Your emotions today come with footnotes. The Moon in Gemini pulls your feelings into your head, where they get dressed up in theories, opinions, and that 2 a.m. text you probably shouldn’t send. You’re thinking instead of feeling, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing—unless you mistake intellectualizing for healing. Big difference between processing your emotions and just talking around them in circles.
How it shows up: Mental whiplash, rabbit holes, meme therapy, endless voice notes.
✅ Work it: Journal your feelings. Have conversations with people who challenge you (not just echo chambers).
Action step: Ask yourself, “Am I trying to understand my feelings or explain them away?” Then pick up a pen—or a phone—and get to work.
Tuesday, July 22
The Sun Enters Leo
And just like that, the lights come up. Leo season roars in like a glitter cannon and demands your presence—not your performance, but your real, heart-driven, flawed-but-glorious self. The Sun is finally home, and it’s asking the only question that matters: “Are you ready to stop apologizing for existing?”
How it shows up: Sudden clarity on what matters to you, a hunger for attention, or the realization that you’ve been dimming your own light for people who forgot their sunglasses.
✅ Work it: Make a bold move. Say the thing. Wear the outfit. Write the post. This isn’t about being flashy—it’s about being honest.
Action step: Reflect on one area where you’ve been waiting for permission. Then give yourself the green light. You are the assignment.
Wednesday, July 23
Sun in Leo sextile Uranus in Gemini
Venus in Gemini square Mars in Virgo
Today’s astrology is brought to you by the phrase: “Let’s do something wild—and then overthink it to death.”
The Sun sextile Uranus opens a creative wormhole: try something unexpected. Be playful. Be disruptive (with charm). Meanwhile, Venus square Mars throws romantic tension into a blender. Think flirty texts followed by six hours of obsessing over the punctuation.
How it shows up: Restlessness, creative genius, misread signals, attraction that feels like trying to kiss someone mid-swordfight.
✅ Work it: Channel that electric charge into art, conversation, or a style overhaul. In love, let things be messy. Attraction doesn’t always have a thesis.
Action step: Say yes to something spontaneous today. And in love or friendships? Let curiosity lead, not control.
Thursday, July 24
Sun in Leo trine Saturn in Aries
Sun in Leo trine Neptune in Aries
New Moon in Leo
This day is the spiritual triple-shot espresso you didn’t know you needed. First, the Sun teams up with Saturn to give your ambition a spine. Then it high-fives Neptune for vision and magic. Finally, the New Moon in Leo plants a seed of self-reinvention so potent, it should come with a warning label: “Side effects may include unapologetic self-worth.”
How it shows up: A wave of motivation, purpose, or that deep whisper that says, “You’re meant for more—and you know it.”
✅ Work it: Set goals that reflect who you are now, not who you were trying to impress last year. Let your inner child pitch the plan, then let your inner adult build it.
Action step: New Moon intention time. Try this prompt: “If I stopped needing approval, I would…” Then make that your next move.
Friday, July 25
Sun in Leo opposite Pluto Rx in Aquarius
Cue the ego quake. This is the plot twist in the middle of the hero’s journey where the protagonist realizes their crown is made of cardboard and they’ve been avoiding the cave with the real treasure. The Sun-Pluto opposition is a truth serum—what are you clinging to that’s killing your growth?
How it shows up: Power struggles, intense emotions, public meltdowns (yours or someone else’s), and the sudden urge to delete your social media presence or launch a manifesto.
✅ Work it: Step back. Don’t engage in performative power games. Own your sh*t privately so you can lead publicly.
Action step: Ask yourself: “Where am I trying to control instead of evolve?” Then do the uncomfortable thing. That’s the real flex.
Saturday, July 26
Moon in Leo
If you didn’t get the memo during Thursday’s New Moon, the Moon in Leo is back to make it loud and personal. Today’s emotional needs come with glitter and a megaphone. It’s not just about being loved—it’s about being seen loving who you are.
How it shows up: Dramatic declarations, inner child moments, pride-based bruises.
✅ Work it: Express your joy. Compliment someone’s soul, not just their shoes. Share your gifts without fishing for applause.
Action step: Do something your inner 8-year-old would think is iconic. Yes, karaoke counts.
Sunday, July 27
Moon in Virgo
It’s time to sweep up the glitter. The Moon in Virgo turns the emotional volume down and the self-awareness dial up. That to-do list you’ve ignored? It’s now screaming. But don’t let this transit bully you into hustle-mode. Organize to support your well-being, not to prove your value.
How it shows up: Cleaning sprees, meal prepping, anxiety spirals about doing it “right.”
✅ Work it: Edit your space, your thoughts, and your plans. But keep it compassionate.
Action step: Make a list titled: “Stuff I Do That Actually Supports Me.” Then pick one item. Do it. No guilt, no grind—just grounded love.
⚡ Weekly Takeaway:
This week isn’t just about being seen—it’s about owning what’s worth seeing.
The Sun’s Leo parade dares you to drop the mask, face the mirror, and realize that your light isn’t a favor to the world—it’s a responsibility. You’re not here to play a part that makes everyone else comfortable. You’re here to evolve, to inspire, and to lead from your heart.
So speak up. Take the stage. Burn the script if it no longer fits.
Your story isn’t finished—it’s just getting interesting.
