Horoscopes—Week of July 21, 2025

I always suggest reading the horoscope for your rising sign if you know it. But you can totally still read the horoscope for your Sun sign if you prefer. And this may be a hot-take among professional astrologers, but I always read my Moon sign horoscope; it’s more accurate for me than Sun or Rising most of the time.!

Aries

You Can’t Fix a Mood by Rearranging Your Furniture

You’re on your third “reset” of the week. You reorganized your desktop folders, deep-cleaned the microwave, and added vitamins to your cart like they might fix your existential dread. Mars in Virgo is making you efficient to a fault. But the real issue? You’re trying to out-schedule your feelings. Step away from the productivity spiral. Let yourself mope without optimizing it.

Taurus

You Want Attention, But Only If You Don’t Have to Ask for It

You want a text. A compliment. A thoughtful gesture. But if someone asks what’s wrong, you’ll say “nothing” and then go reorganize your skincare drawer while listening to sad indie covers. Venus in Gemini makes you flirty with your budget. Mars in Virgo revives an old interest—knitting, songwriting, weirdly aggressive Pilates. Let yourself be inconsistent. You’re not sending mixed signals. You’re curating your peace.

Gemini

Take Your Phone Away from Yourself

Mercury retrograde is messing with your usual verbal magic. You try to explain something and immediately get talked over. Your clever joke turns into a clarification spiral. You send a perfectly crafted text and get hit with a dry “lol.” Meanwhile, Mars in Virgo is making your home life feel like a high-effort puzzle—laundry, maintenance, dishes you thought someone else said they’d do. Say less this week. Let the silence do the editing.

Cancer

Not Every Feeling Is a Character Arc

The Sun’s moving on from your sign, but you’re still in Main Character mode—especially when it comes to interpreting glances, tone shifts, or that one text with no punctuation. Mars in Virgo ramps up errands and overthinking. You’re narrating your life like a coming-of-age memoir, but sometimes you’re just tired and over-caffeinated. Take a breath. Let one emotion pass through without a plot twist.

Leo

Soft Launch It

The Sun enters your sign, but Mercury is retrograde there too—so you’re glowing, but also locking your keys in the car and forgetting people’s names mid-convo. Mars in Virgo stirs up self-doubt about money, habits, or your snack drawer. This is not the week for a rebrand. Just show up, a little off-script. Your confidence doesn’t have to be perfectly timed. It just has to be real.

Virgo

Stop Solving Everything

Mars is in your sign, and your energy is at 110%, but so is your irritation. You’re answering questions no one asked, triple-checking calendar invites, and correcting people’s grammar in your head. Meanwhile, Mercury retrograde stirs up vague background fog—your thoughts wander, your timing’s off, your inner monologue won’t shut up. Try canceling one thing. Try not fixing it. Try being slightly worse at something, just to see what happens.

Libra

You Don’t Owe Anyone a Polished Response

Venus in Gemini has you collecting curiosities—half-read articles, voice memos of ideas, and three open carts full of things you probably won’t buy. Mars in Virgo, meanwhile, is stirring up weird dreams and minor existential dread. You’re trying to make sense of things that don’t need to make sense yet. Resist the urge to over-explain or apologize for being quiet. “Not right now” is a complete sentence.

Scorpio

Stop Turning Every Delay Into a Conspiracy

Mercury retrograde is throwing static into your professional zone—scheduling mishaps, ambiguous emails, people replying “per my last message” when they absolutely did not clarify anything. Mars in Virgo has you socially overextended, responding to everything with “sure!” and then regretting it immediately. You’re not missing a sign. You’re just in a slow patch. Don’t invent a betrayal just because someone’s bad at texting.

Sagittarius

You Don’t Have to Be the Fun One Right Now

Everyone seems to need your insight, your pep talks, your ability to laugh things off. But Mars in Virgo is draining your professional battery, and Mercury retrograde is clouding your bigger-picture thinking. You might feel unusually quiet—or worse, uninspired. Let yourself flake. Skip the punchline. You’re allowed to be someone who logs out at 7pm and doesn’t explain why.

Capricorn

Your Self-Improvement Kick Might Be a Distraction

Mars is powering up your growth drive, and now you’re signing up for courses, reading business books, or reworking your five-year plan on a napkin. But Mercury retrograde is stirring up deeper stuff—power dynamics, trust, emotional debt. You’ll want to focus on what’s measurable. Try focusing on what’s uncomfortable. Not everything that matters fits in a spreadsheet. Let that be okay.

Aquarius

Don’t Turn Awkwardness Into a Project

Mercury retrograde is pulling focus to your closest connections—someone says the wrong thing, someone else goes quiet, and you immediately try to draft the perfect follow-up. Mars in Virgo is making you want to fix things behind the scenes. But this week isn’t about restoring harmony. It’s about learning to let tension breathe. Not everything is a misunderstanding. Some things are just weird.

Pisces

You’re Allowed to Tap Out

Mars in Virgo is overstimulating your relationship zone—too many calls, too many “can I just vent?” messages, too many obligations you said yes to out of guilt. Meanwhile, your energy is low, your tolerance is thinner than usual, and the laundry still isn’t folded. The answer is not to try harder. It’s to stop. Skip something. Log off. Take a nap without earning it first.
