Weekly Astrology July 28 2025 Forecast for All Signs
ARIES
Have a Plan B
Love is wherever you happen to be
Revisit the past – but don’t stay there
As a friend of mine malapropped: Mercury is Gatorade. Keep this in mind as the Sun conjoins retro Mercury in Leo and your 5th this week. Your house of holidays and pleasure trips. And lovers. If setting out anywhere – from that overseas vacation to that day trip – pack your Plan B.
You may be in search of the sweet life. Or filled with nostalgia as Venus lands in Cancer and your 4th the same day (31st). Wanting to recapture memories of yesteryear. Just ensure The Way We Were isn’t being viewed through the lens of endless sunny days and escapist fantasies. The ‘Good Old Days’ may not have been as good as you think.
If an old lover reappears under this retrograde, do look back with 20/20 hindsight. Not sentimentality. In fact – apply this to anything you have a sentimental yearning for. And look at the facts, not the sentiment. Especially as Venus squares both retrograde Saturn and Neptune in your 1st. It brings a wake-up call. A sense of groundedness. And a reality check if you have tipped into rom-com or nostalgia territory. Yes, you may decide to revisit an aspect of your past. And in doing so, discover that it is every bit as magical, charming and dreamy as you recall. In fact, retro rules aside, going back to places where you built fond memories can have you re-appreciating them. The old becomes brand new again.
But do watch for wistful longing or worse – pining for a past that never was. Especially if you begin to recall that past relationship was defined by mixed messages, flip-flopping or lack of commitment. If we opt to spend too much time in the past, we miss out on the gift of the present. By all means revisit it this week, Aries. But keep in mind – you don’t live there any more.
In a nutshell: Nostalgia is a feeling. Not a destination, Aries. And certainly not somewhere you should live. Understand that recapturing good times is fine. But that the good times are happening right now. More in your Venus in Cancer horoscope.

TAURUS
News could be worth the wait
Old projects get a fresh infusion of love and creativity
Have you told someone lately you love them?
Ruler Venus infuses everything you say with a touch of love and diplomacy this week. It lands in Cancer and your 3rd (31st). The same day as the Sun now in your 4th encounters retrograde Mercury. You may be the recipient of good news – especially around home, family or a property matter. But keep in mind that things may not yet be finalised. Or set in stone. Allow for changes right up until the final week of August by which time Mercury is clear of retro-shade.
If money is on its way, it could stem from a past source. Or one that has taken you to the deep side of life. ‘Loss Adjustment’ is a term used by insurers when evaluating a claim. But you may be making your own ‘loss adjustment’ especially if this involves a payout of some kind. Something may have been given up or lost in order for you to now gain. This has you contemplating the bigger picture and meaning of life as Venus squares both Saturn and Neptune retrograde in your 12th.
As a result, you are extremely unlikely to fritter away any gains now. Not that it is a good idea under a Mercury retrograde. Siblings and cousins may feature now. As could your neighbours or your general neighbourhood. You may be revising or reviewing projects and plans. Anything from your CV to your side hustle, that unfinished novel, your online profile or channel. All will benefit from Venus’s extra creative infusion. And if you’ve not told someone you love them enough lately – that too.
Just like you may need to hang fire with that money or purchase, press pause on launches, submissions, applications and sending that new version of your site, feed, channel or podcast live. There’s still enhancements to be made. Even if right now you cannot imagine that. A second, third or final pass through could just add that extra patina of allure or enchantment. Sit with it for now, Taurus. And let beauty find you.
In a nutshell: However you choose to say it – say it with love as ruler Venus enters Cancer and your house of communication. Those old projects and plans could revise with an extra shot of creative zeal. That enhancement leads to enchantment this week. More in your Venus in Cancer forecast.

GEMINI
Hello from the other side
Adele. Hello
Hello from the other side. Of space. Of time. Imagine for one moment we receive a transmission from outer space. Originating from a galaxy far, far away. Although we would be receiving the message in the present moment, it is in fact a message from the past. It would have taken millions of years to arrive. It’s the same of course with light which travels much faster. If it’s daylight where you are when you are reading this, then that light took 8 mins and 20 seconds to reach you from the Sun. The stars you see in the night sky are yesteryear stars.
Yes, this is all very Mercury retro, isn’t it? And news or information or even a person from the past, could travel forward in time this week to catch up with you in the present. The Sun in your 3rd encounters retro Mercury (31st). This could leave you going ‘Wow! I never knew that!’ or offer up closure and/or a fresh perspective on the past. New light on an old issue in other words.
Needless to say – the retro rules need to remain in place until mid-August. And now with Venus in your 2nd – this applies to your money, Gemini. Venus joins Jupiter in here. And neither planet is known for their ability to budget. Venus wants only the best. Jupiter has an easy come, easy go attitude to finances. And doesn’t know how to say no. Now, this can add up to a windfall or increase on its way for some of you. Especially when Venus and Jupiter meet next month.
But don’t be led astray by glittering prizes or ‘bargains’. Mercury retro splurges can leave us with regrets one way or another. We find that ‘bargain’ at an even cheaper price. It malfunctions, isn’t covered by a warranty or simply doesn’t live up to the hype. We discover a new and better option when the retrograde ends. Or we experience buyer’s remorse over the bill when it falls due. You have the message from past retrogrades reaching you this week, Gemini. Yes, it may have taken a while to get here. But that doesn’t mean it fails to throw light on the present. Just when and where you need it.
In a nutshell: Hello that transcends space and time. There’s a message or a fresh understanding arriving this week. It may come from your past. But radically reframe your present. Do stick to the retro rules with spending however. See your Venus in Cancer forecast.

CANCER
Plug into high fidelity love
Make everything sweet!
Sweet, swooney and sensitive – Venus in your 1st acts like a loved-up extension of your birthday season. It may be slower, more intuitive and empathic than your actual solar cycle. You won’t feel as rushed. But more ready to embrace indulgence, self-love and to muse over the next steps you need to take to make those newly minted goals and dreams, reality.
Tender and thoughtful gestures get your heart brimming with love. But you will be able to sniff out the inauthentic or fake a mile off. Hence, anything that is this is unlikely to survive the Venus to Saturn/Neptune square on the 1st. This includes fake friends and one-sided relationships. Those people who only pay you attention when they need something. It may leave you wondering why you couldn’t see the dynamic before.
True friendship and love fidelity is all around you now. As are those who align with your values and whose emotional IQ matches your own. Ahead of you this August will be the mighty Venus/Jupiter meeting. So there’s no better time than now to visualise exactly what you’d like this to deliver for you. You may also be resurrecting an old skill, talent or project under the Mercury retrograde in your 2nd. Or see a way to monetise this. Something is worth your continued investment or focus. And the Sun/retro Mercury meeting on the 31st highlights this. Did you give up too soon? Or allow outside influences to erode your confidence? You’ll take that back now if that’s the case. And repurpose it – beautifully, Cancer.
In a nutshell: Get a taste of the sweet life as Venus lands in your sign this week. And don’t leave yourself out of the equation when it comes to recipients, Cancer. Lavish love upon yourself. The more you do, the greater your power of attraction. More in your Venus in Cancer forecast.

LEO
Once I had a secret love
That lived within the heart of me
Doris Day. Secret Love, Calamity Jane
Subtle and secretive – that’s Venus in Cancer and your 12th house (31st). With your ruler the Sun having a close encounter to retrograde Mercury in your 1st, past loves and secrets may feature this throwback Thursday.
This could even be something you’ve not admitted even to yourself. Those secrets extend to those wounds you bravely carry, Leo. Past disappointments, wounds, trauma, heartbreak and yes, patterns. This is your opportunity to release them. And your Venus in Cancer forecast contains a special meditation for you to do exactly that. So that by the time the Mercury retrograde is over, and Venus arrives in your sign on Aug 25, you are no longer the walking wounded when it comes to love.
The past features in more ways than one this week. All thanks to that Sun/retro Mercury conjunction. And the angles Venus throws to Saturn and Neptune in your 9th. This points the way ahead for you towards freedom and solutions. Make no mistake, Leo. This kind of inner work asks you to dig deep into your reservoirs of fearless courage and bravery. To confront what is between you and your right to shine. And to deal with it once and for all. Don’t be afraid to say no to anything that drains you or triggers you now. That too is an act of courage. When we say no to something we previously may simply have accepted or acquiesced to, it puts the universe on notice that we have changed. And it starts to send us very different experiences as a result. See this as the cosmic returns system. A bit like ordering something online and then finding it doesn’t fit. Except you never ordered this in the first place. But you do have the power to return it now.
In a nutshell: The Sun conjunct retro Mercury in your sign highlights something from your past. Secrets, including those you keep from yourself, will be exposed. That secret love? Not so secret any more. Repair your love mojo with your Venus in Cancer horoscope.

VIRGO
Put yourself back in social circulation
Life happens so make time to connect
Someone shows you the friendship ‘gold standard’
The love of friends isn’t silver medal love. No one person can fulfil every role for us. Which is why friendships are so important. Yes, your partner can be your best friend as well. But you do need others. And a wide variety of friendships. Not all social connections have to fall into the BFF category for them to have meaning. Or a place in our lives.
Venus in your 11th (from the 31st), isn’t a romantic transit. But it does show us the value of social connections. And if your social life has been lacklustre, give it a well deserved boost. Besides, with your ruler Mercury retrograde, now is not the best time for you to go looking for new love. Venus will make highly charged angles to both Saturn and Neptune in your 8th on the 1st. This may call time on one particular friendship if it has run its course. But also usher in a new gold standard when it comes to your social circle if it does.
You may find yourself in a position where old friends who you imagined were there for you, are shown as unreliable. While casual acquaintances or new connections step up and show they are friends indeed. And this may take you by surprise.
Old friends and connections from your past may also return thanks to the encounter between the Sun in your 12th and retro Mercury (31st). If you are suddenly aware that you have been in hermit mode lately and are craving more company and connectivity with others, begin by reaching out to those you have not heard from for a while. Life happens and is a full time occupation. We all know this. We intend to message or call. But then feel guilty when we realise another month has passed. Everyone gets this. So, don’t let this stop you from sending that DM and suggesting a catch-up, Virgo. Retrogrades rule ‘re’ words. These includes reunion.
In a nutshell: There’s as many rooms in your heart as there are people to fill them, Virgo. So keep this in mind with Venus now in your sector of friends and connections. It’s all love. And retro ruler Mercury could revive that old contact. More in your Venus in Cancer forecast.

LIBRA
Know what you want to get it
Fire up your ambitions
Get serious for serious results!
To get what you want – you have to have a clear idea of what that is. Definition is the key to success this week as ruler Venus arrives in Cancer and your 10th (31st). You are headed towards one of the best periods of ‘25 when it comes to achievement, attainment and realising those ambitions. Next month, Venus will meet Jupiter in here. And this hasn’t happened for a very long time.
So, take your time to get very very clear on what you want. Or where you want to get to. Mercury is retrograde in your house of goals. And its meeting with the Sun on the same day as Venus arrives in your success sector, really lends itself to clearing away goal clutter. Ditching those which you have outgrown. And making the decision to focus on the ones that truly matter. Or one major one in particular. Now, this may relate to your career or your dreams around fame and worldly success. But it can just as easily be a more personal ambition. A great relationship, an experience or even around home and family. The key to getting it is in its importance to you. And in knowing what you want.
Knowing what you don’t want isn’t the same thing. Again, take your time to define which is which. Understand that when we commit to manifesting something in our lives we are entering into a soul contract with ourselves above all else. It is important we show up, be prepared to go the distance and keep our word to ourselves. Integrity is all important. Because you will now have a clear idea of what it is you want, and an unwavering intention to get it, anything that now doesn’t fit that needs to be released. You’ll understand what or even who this is on the 1st when Venus squares both Saturn and Neptune in your 7th. Show up for yourself, Libra. And show others you mean business now when it comes to those results.
In a nutshell: Ruler Venus enters your success sector this week. This isn’t just about worldly ambition. But those personal goals and desires. But you need a clear vision of what this looks like to get it. Knowing what you don’t want – not the same thing. More in your Venus in Cancer forecast.

SCORPIO
The Wheel of Fortune spins in your direction!
Be limitless – and free
Don’t place limits on love
Solutions and opportunities are at hand now. Lucky breaks and changes of fortune now Venus arrives in Cancer and your 9th (31st).
Venus in your 9th is boundless, limitless love. Do you believe in that, Scorpio? This begins with the love you have to give. The more you give or demonstrate you believe love flows from the universal source which can never run dry, the more you have to give and you receive. This doesn’t have to be limited to romantic love, love for your children or simply saying ‘I love you’. This can be gestures of love you show a friend – posting them a book you think they will love for example, telling them what you appreciate about them, giving a heart-felt compliment to a stranger. It extends to loving what you do – your passions and pursuits. Your creative ventures or hobbies. And your love of places. Wherever you find yourself this Venus transit – love is actually, all around you. Or now seeking you out.
Venus is in your house of travel, movement and adventure. And will meet Jupiter ruler of luck and expansion in here next month. If the pursuit of love and happiness includes jetting off this Venus cycle, keep in mind Mercury is retrograde in your 10th. And meets the Sun in here on the 31st. Long overdue recognition could mark the change in your personal fortunes you have been hoping for. While barriers to progress will be confronted on the 1st when Venus squares Saturn and Neptune. That’s not just around what you want to achieve or where you want to get to, Scorpio. That includes barriers you may have inadvertently created which keep you stuck in a rut or endlessly spinning that hamster wheel. And also the feeling you don’t have any time or love to spare. What you have is limitless. So, let go and share it this week.
In a nutshell: Venus joins Jupiter in Cancer and your 9th this week. A No Limits cycle where you are only restricted by your own ideas or self-erected barriers to opportunity. Explore all that’s on offer as luck and love turn in your favour. More in your Venus in Cancer forecast.

SAGITTARIUS
No more underestimation. Or being undersold
Change your perspective – change your life
Your new mantra: Ka-ka-ka ching!
Ka-ka-ka–ching! This should be uttered to the beat of the opening bars of fellow Sagittarian Beethoven’s fifth symphony. Hum it like a mantra under this Venus cycle in your 8th house. It’s an anthem of abundance and realisation for you.
Beethoven wrote powerful music. Despite being deaf. He linked to the deepest part of himself. And was also connected to what we might refer to today as the Galactic Centre or unseen realms. This is the point from which creativity and manifestation springs from. And which you can access now in all its unlimited and rich abundance. Especially next month when Venus and ruler Jupiter meet in here on Aug 12. There has been much talk about the ‘Luckiest Day of the Year’. But this one could just be that for you as it involves your ruler.
Ka-ka-ka–ching may not be about money. Although all this is taking place in your house of other people’s money and what is shared with you. It may be about self-empowerment. Just because something exists, doesn’t mean you can see it. Or, just because you can’t see it doesn’t mean it isn’t real. Or on its way to you. Or what you need to change up your situation may be intangible. Take it that the universe wants to share whatever this is with you. Or give you full and complete access to your own core power now. The Venus squares to saturn and Neptune may show you where you have been underestimating or underselling yourself. Or have become disconnected from your power. Now you have it back you will be totally fearless in how you wield it. So anyone who has been disempowering you or underestimating your brilliance needs to watch out!
Sometimes all we need to do to totally change our lives is a different perspective. That’s on offer too this week. Just reconnecting to this – call it what you will – the Source within, your mojo, your soul compass, offers up the resources we need to bring about the changes we seek. Ka-ka-ka–ching. That’s rich, Sag!
In a nutshell: Venus joins ruler Jupiter in your house of change, transformation, self empowerment and money. Take a no holds barred approach to instigating change. That ka-ka-ka-ching sound is you accessing those inner resources. You’ve more at your disposal than you think, Sag.

CAPRICORN
Duets, double acts and dynamic duos
No limits love takes you where you want to go
Don’t ignore the call to make changes
Venus enters your 7th this week. Extending your yearly partnership peak. While the Moon is your partnership planet, Venus is your planet of romance, attraction and pleasure. That is because it rules Taurus and your 5th house. But it also rules Libra and your 10th. So, working partnerships, career progression, your work ‘spouse’, business partner or collaborator is also in focus now.
You and another could be committing to the next key stage in either one of these areas. Or in your marriage or with that long term love. However – yes, there is always a caveat to all this, it is now time to address any issues. Or admit if something is no longer working.
Please don’t ignore any elephants in that boudoir, Cappy. It’s time to be realistic thanks to the angles Venus makes between your ruler Saturn and Neptune in your 4th at the start of August. Don’t allow things to continue to drift. If you do, you will have to face an even greater challenge early in 2026. So, my advice to you is to opt for honest discussion. It may be by doing so you can salvage the situation. Or at least own the fact that things have moved beyond the point of no return.
We all arrive at a point when we have to own the fact that things must change – and we must be the one to change them. There’s no better time to lean into this than Mercury retrograde in your sector of transformation, personal power and joint affairs. The Sun meets retro Mercury in here the same day Venus moves into your 7th. Opening up the way for beautiful, self-directed change. Love is always the answer no matter our choices. Do it and say it and change it with love.
In a nutshell: Venus arrives in Cancer and your partnership zone. Extending your yearly togetherness peak. Don’t ignore the need to address any lingering issues however. Love is the change which always begins with us. Check your Venus in Cancer forecast for more.

AQUARIUS
Distance yourself from what’s toxic
Those who match your integrity are drawn to you
Happiness is happening. No need to chase it!
Pro tip now Venus is in your 6th house (from the 31st). You won’t do well with anyone who operates from a place of fear-based thinking, avoidance, uses sarcasm to disempower or put people down, or who remains inflexible or closed-minded. Especially around the 1st when Venus tightens its influence on ancient ruler Saturn and Neptune in your 3rd.
That person who believes they are always the smartest person in the room for instance. And their slightly mocking and/or condescending way of speaking to others who they deem not. Anything like this is likely to have you seeing red. Or simply exiting far away from their influence. Yes, this can be someone you work with. At which point you will now be updating your CV. Just hang fire on the actual application if so due to the Mercury retrograde in Leo and your 7th.
But it could just as easily be a friend or someone you know. Either way – so not on, Aquarius. Instead you will attract those with integrity, open mindedness and optimism.
Is happiness something you are constantly chasing? What about happiness happening NOW? Jam yesterday, jam tomorrow but never jam today as that old saying goes. Anyone bread-crumbing you? Making promises that they never deliver on? Or is it you telling yourself you will be happy once you reach a certain milestone? Meet ‘The One’, lose 10lbs, get that promotion, move house or get to 1 million followers? It doesn’t matter what it is. It’s a constantly moving target that keeps you from claiming the love and happiness you could be experiencing in the here and now. The Sun’s meeting to retro Mercury in your 7th (31st), draws your attention to whether or not you are preventing yourself from being happy now. No more waiting for it to arrive. All you need do is choose the present moment, Aquarius.
In a nutshell: You won’t tolerate anyone mean-spirited this week. Or anyone who is dogmatic, stuck or who dwells on the negative. The more distance you put between yourself and them – the better you feel. Those on your wavelength find you. Link to your Venus in Cancer forecast for more.

PISCES
Protect your precious resources
Something given has no value
It’s okay to put yourself first!
Love planet Mercury remains retrograde in your 6th this week. Hold off on seeking new love even though Venus enters your house of romance and attraction (31st). Especially as it squares both Saturn and modern day ruler Neptune in your 2nd on the 1st. Who or what you value most will be in focus. And you may need to pause and weigh up whether or not something still reflects your true values.
Resources be they material or intangible are at the heart of this. Not just on what and where you splash your cash, but also your most precious assets – your love, your time, attention and talents. Yes, your natural empathy means your gift for giving is usually limitless. And without any agenda or desire to get something in return. You don’t give to gain. But is someone taking advantage of this, Pisces? Only you can answer that.
At the heart of this week is healthy choices which protect these precious resources. Becoming choosy as to who or what you direct them into. And even though your capacity to give is undiminished, it is now undertaken from a ‘Me first!’ perspective. The Sun meets retro Mercury on the 31st. And this will see you identifying what drains you and what energises you in turn. This includes those recipients of your devotion, support and tireless gift giving of all you have to offer. And of course, there are those people, causes and areas of life which are fully deserving of all this. But you will pull back from those which are not. Consider the saying: Something given has no value. Value all you have to give more, Pisces. And don’t waste it.
In a nutshell: Your capacity for giving without needing anything in return remains undiminished. It’s just that from this point onwards, you will be more choosy as to who you bestow your priceless gifts of love, empathy, support and time, Pisces. And yes, sometimes this may mean you put yourself first for once.
