Mercury’s Turning Retrograde—But the Moon’s Pulling the Strings

Mercury’s Got a Megaphone, But the Moon’s Running the Show: Your Weekly Horoscope for July 14–20, 2025

Welcome to a week where the most dramatic retrograde of the summer begins… and yet, Mercury is somehow not the main character. That honor goes to the Moon—quietly, consistently stirring up the vibes while the rest of the sky mostly keeps its opinions to itself. For six out of seven days, the Moon is the only planet actively making moves. She’s not traversing half the zodiac, but she is doing the emotional equivalent of speed dating, and we’re all along for the ride.

Mercury Retrograde in Leo Is a Plot Twist—Shahrazad Shows You How to Survive It

The Full Moon in Capricorn Is Exposing the Wound You’ve Been Pretending Isn’t There

Capricorn season may not be in full swing, but the Full Moon in Capricorn doesn’t need an RSVP to show up with a clipboard, a judgmental glare, and a reminder that your to-do list has its own to-do list.

This Week’s Astrology (July 7 -13, 2025) Is an Electric Fence—Touch It Anyway

Welcome to the week where playing it safe isn’t just boring—it’s borderline self-sabotage. Uranus, the planet of shock therapy and sudden brilliance, enters Gemini this week, and let’s just say: your comfort zone called, and Uranus hit “decline.” We’re entering a new phase of mental revolution, where the rules of communication, learning, and connection get rewritten with a lightning bolt and a megaphone.

Helen of Troy Didn’t Ghost You—She Was Just in Gemini

Venus officially checks into Gemini on July 4th—and she won’t just bring her lip gloss and library card. She brings her doppelgänger, her travel-size thesaurus, and about 300 unread texts. If you’re looking for deep, soul-piercing romantic poetry, you might want to wait for Venus in Cancer. But if you want flirtation that feels like a podcast episode and pillow talk that segues into Plato, you’re right on time.
