The Astrology of July 2025:
THE TRIANGLE OF REVOLUTION

by Juliana McCarthy

July 1, 2025 — July represents a major turning point astrologically—and one of the most significant moments in human history. On July 7, Uranus enters Gemini and trines Pluto, while forming a perfect sextile to the Saturn-Neptune conjunction at 0° Aries. The rarity of this configuration cannot be overstated. I’m calling it the triangle of revolution. Starting now, and for years to come, we’re undergoing seismic shifts, both personally and collectively. This is a time of great karmic reckoning and creative rebirth.

For some, this may feel exhilarating, like a long-awaited breakthrough. For others, it could feel disorienting or jarring as unresolved lessons erupt and demand action. From the chaos, clarity is rising, piercing through dishonesty, materialism, greed, and the indoctrination of a broken society. With Saturn and Neptune conjoining at the first degree of the zodiac, we’re witnessing the collapse of old systems and structures as new collective visions begin to emerge and take their place.

Meanwhile, Jupiter in Cancer is squaring Saturn, challenging our shared values while reminding us that compassion is our anchor. Family, close friends, community, and self-care can steady us amid these sweeping tides of change.

The revolution ahead is not just political or technological—it’s spiritual. The real war we’re fighting is against apathy, greed, delusion, and disconnection. We’re being called to summon courage, cultivate vigilance, and take risks that align with our most authentic yearnings. The future is rapidly revealing itself, and we’re ready to lead—with integrity, truth, empathy, and the unshakable knowledge that we’re all part of the same fabric of love.

From here, we may feel like the wind is finally in our sails. We’re joining forces like never before to dismantle a corrupted system. It’s hard work—overwhelming at times—but we can keep expanding to hold it all without losing heart. This is the moment when we begin the process of forging a more enlightened world—one that honors and protects the Earth and all beings, where we recognize the sacredness of every tree, ant, breath, cloud, child, and broken heart. With urgency, we can remember that everything we see is us, and that our primary job is to heal until we can easily generate love for all.

JULY 2025 TRANSITS

VENUS CONJUNCT URANUS, VENUS ENTERS GEMINI

On July 4, Venus conjoins Uranus at the last degree of Taurus, just before entering Gemini. This is a day for breakthroughs in creativity, relationships, money, and justice. New relational patterns and creative ideas are springing forth as we shift into an energy of flirtation and sociability. Our stories of love and justice are evolving as Venus lights up the triangle of revolution, sextiling Saturn and Neptune.

URANUS ENTERS GEMINI / THE TRIANGLE OF REVOLUTION

Uranus enters Gemini on July 7, trining Pluto in Aquarius and sextiling the Saturn-Neptune conjunction at 0° Aries. Now, all of the outer planets are in dynamic conversation, forming the triangle of revolution. This is the heart of 2025’s seismic shift.

Uranus represents revolution, sudden change, and radical awakening. In Gemini, the sign of communication, technology, and learning, we’re entering a new seven-year cycle of mental rebellion and visionary innovation. This shift forms a harmonious trine with Pluto in Aquarius, sparking cultural revolution, grassroots mobilization, and the empowerment of new voices.

With Uranus and Pluto both in Air signs, we are now fully in the Air Age—where information, collaboration, and ideas become our most potent tools for liberation. Nothing will stay the same. We’re witnessing a reinvention of society, consciousness, and the social contract itself.

CAPRICORN FULL MOON

A Full Moon forms in Capricorn on July 10. This grounded lunation reconnects us with ancestral wisdom and brings to culmination a process of hard-won maturity. This is a moment to reflect on progress, commitment, and the structures in our lives that still support us. In the midst of great change, we’re looking back and taking stock of how far we’ve come—and what still needs release as we prepare to move forward with greater integrity.

SATURN + NEPTUNE AT 0° ARIES

On July 17, Saturn and Neptune form a near-exact conjunction at 0º Aries, the first sign of the zodiac. This represents a dissolving of old structures and the reconstruction of new ones. Structures built on deception or false idealism may collapse, while blueprints rooted in integrity emerge

Escapism is not possible. Though their exact conjunction won’t arrive until 2026, this alignment now reverberates through global systems, igniting both creative potential and existential chaos. What can no longer be spiritually bypassed must be faced. Wars and tensions are coming to a head as we reconfigure reality and undergo the hard work of accepting truth and allowing our misconceptions to fall away.

MERCURY STATIONS RETROGRADE

From July 18 to August 11, Mercury stations retrograde in Leo. Our voices and narratives are shifting. This is a chance to go inward and reflect on everything that's transforming for us both in the world and in our own personal unfolding.

While many fear Mercury retrograde, it offers space for integration and taking pause. We can retreat and allow ourselves ample time to process the great changes around and within us. Magic and creativity abound, as we speak more with our hearts than our minds and words. We are learning how to shift the world inside our own hearts.

SUN ENTERS LEO

On July 22, the Sun enters Leo, the sign the Sun rules. Here, he returns to full strength. This is a time for joy, courage, creativity, romance, pleasure, and expression. As much chaos and change surrounds us, it’s an invitation to step into our creative potentials and remember why we love the world and being human.

LEO NEW MOON

The New Moon in Leo forms on July 24, igniting the triangle of revolution. Opposing Pluto, trining Saturn and Neptune, and sextiling Uranus, this lunation is an integration point. Courage and clarity abound, as we apply our talents for the benefit of all. How can we remain steady within great change, both personally and collectively? Who are we as we stand on the precipice of a new world, and how are we ready to show up?

JULY 2025 ASPIRATION

As we stand on the edge of great change, may we rally the courage and compassion needed to open to breakthrough and transformation. May we join in this epic battle against confusion, materialism, and aggression, transmuting them into heart and luminosity as we create a new world.
