ARIES HOROSCOPE for JULY 2025

ARIES/ARIES ASCENDANT

Happy July Aries-this is such an awesome month to get your act together, as you really get a sense of just how brilliant your personal potential is, right now!

So for context, let’s set the scene:

Healer Chiron, in Aries for the last several years has been quite a trip. Coming to terms with any personal insecurities and wounding-that as such a ferociously confident sign you would have previously preferred to avoid. Let alone be exquisitely vulnerable about it, as Chiron has been helping you to do. Hopefully you’ve not been indulging any sooky self-recrimination; just because you find yourself less than perfect-according to your own high expectations of yourself or societal judgements, you may have been uncharacteristically worried about? Because ideally, you’ve been cultivating healthy self acceptance. As the superbly courageous creature you are-navigating your true path in the world with all your wonderfully complex, human flaws & all.

Because meanwhile, Neptune in your spooky soul sector for the last several years, was joined by Saturn in the last 2 ½ years. A phase of tuning into your most inspired, spiritual & creative imperatives-filling your cup more than any tricky, external scenarios. With the discipline to look within, to be really honest with yourself-about any gnarly/swampy unconscious issues that may have been contributing to weird self sabotage, the better to choose to connect with your spiritual practice & creative muse instead, with beautiful self awareness.

Ok so what with your inner radiance switched on, you were so ready to bring this into full self expression, with Neptune into Aries from last April-enchanting your sign for the next several years.

So to the extent Neptune reveals all the mystical qualities, you’ve been cultivating in the background, you are now officially swanning around in full blown magical mode. Cosmically attuned to divine guidance & your own, subtle instincts moving forward, bringing a nuanced quality to your usually headstrong manner, of barging forward all guns blazing. And highly attuned to your arty muse, suddenly quite brilliant in your creative endeavours. With a spooky new aspect of your spunky charisma. People suddenly find you uncharacteristically mysterious & fascinating, in all your shiny radiance.

And ok Neptune can kind of have you feeling intoxicated by life. Suddenly emotions are oceanic, your empathy with all living creatures is almost overwhelming, your yearning for rapture calls like a siren song-which can be tempting to daydream/fantasise/literally hit the boozy intoxication; which can all be quite discombobulating, if not careful.

So is perfect to ground all this magical energy, with Neptune now joined by Ceres & Saturn, fresh into Aries as July begins:

As in, if Neptune is the weird-ass fairy godmother, turning up when you need pumpkins turned into coaches and lost glass slippers at the ball etc, to chase your dreams, as if life was a magical realist fairytale (which it sometimes will be, with Neptune in your sign). Ceres & Saturn are kind of like your mum & dad planetary guides, to help you keep it together.

Ceres reminds you of the imperative of healthy self care. On a basic level of nourishing diet & cultivating physical wellbeing. Also emotionally, nurturing yourself with healthy self acceptance, which works beautifully with healer Chiron in your sign-we were talking about earlier.

And Saturn brings the realism, to keep any bonkers schemes on the straight & narrow. And even more the fierce discipline you adore, to be the most effective success machine you can. Resilience, strength of character, integrity & ambition are all qualities you lean into at the best of times and now stronger than ever, with Saturn around for the next 21/2 years. You love it-this is your core competency, of course!

Especially with your ruler Mars, in your practical 6^th house this month. Fabulous to energise the Saturnian influence we’ve been talking about-fully motivated to get your act together. Affirmative daily habits, to charge up your physical vitality and fabulously effective work ethic, for maximum day job success.

Especially the Full Moon of July 11^th, in your brilliant career sector. Trine Mars in your 6^th house & quintile Mercury in your 5^th, talent sector. Totally genius timing, to nail your professional goals, with the perfect combination of creative genius, cunning biz strategies and old fashioned elbow grease.

So even with Mercury retrograde, in time for the New Moon of July 25^th in your 5^th house. You’re not fazed-you get is an opportunity for a fresh perspective, as you keep finessing your genius, right?

And the Aries love life? Mercury in your 5^th house of playful romance, with Venus in your Mercury ruled, communication sector. Your flirty wiles are on point-the better to commune with your lover, or have a good time chatting someone up, if on the dating scene.
