Horoscopes | Week of July 14 2025

Aries

Fixing It ≠ Feeling Better

Cancer season is cooking something soft, and you’re trying to make it bite-sized and efficient. Mars in Virgo is working overtime in your daily zone, so you’re probably over-scheduling your feelings: “cry during cardio,” “journal while meal-prepping,” “grieve during lunch break.” Mercury stations retrograde in Leo later in the week, and suddenly your plans derail—printer jam, dog throws up, someone texts “we need to talk” without context. Resist the urge to solve it all immediately. Let one thing stay unresolved. Let it breathe. You don’t need to out-organize your heart.

Taurus

Being Hard to Reach Isn’t a Personality Trait

The Cancer Sun lights up your communication zone while Mars in Virgo pings your pleasure sector. Translation: you want to disappear but also be adored. You want meaningful connection, but only if it arrives exactly when you’re in the mood and doesn’t talk too loud. Venus in Gemini makes you flirty with your money, but Mercury’s retrograde could scramble your messages—texts get misread, DMs get deleted. Be clearer than usual. Say what you mean. And if someone calls you out for going quiet, maybe don’t pretend your phone was in rice.

Gemini

Don’t Monetize Your Identity Crisis

Venus in your sign makes you charming, photogenic, and possibly addicted to refreshing your own social profiles. But the Cancer Sun highlights your money zone, and Mercury’s retrograde in Leo Thursday/Friday stirs confusion about what’s worth sharing—and what’s actually for you. Mars in Virgo fires up your home zone, and suddenly you’re rage-cleaning your entire apartment at 10:30pm while listening to a podcast about emotional minimalism. Breathe. You’re not a brand. You’re a person. Let the mess show for a minute.

Cancer

You Are Not a Human Memoir

The Sun and Jupiter are in your sign, so you’re glowing, nostalgic, and slightly unhinged. You’re tempted to do that thing the thing where you narrate your own life in your head as it’s happening happening: “She ordered an iced coffee, knowing it would hurt her stomach—was it a metaphor?” Meanwhile, Mercury goes retrograde in Leo, causing minor chaos around worth and self-image, while Mars in Virgo messes with logistics. Try not to make every setback part of your origin story. You don’t have to turn everything into character development. Sometimes you’re just tired and need a sandwich.

Leo

Please Exit the Self-Analysis Maze

It’s almost your season, but first: reflection. The Cancer Sun is pulling you inward, and Mercury stations retrograde in your sign on Thursday, which means your inner monologue is about to go full unreliable narrator. Mars in Virgo pushes you to fix your routines, but the impulse might veer into body micromanagement or budget spreadsheets labeled “BE BETTER.” Not helpful. Take the hint: this week is for closing tabs, not opening more. Your glow-up starts with deleting the document called “how to change everything.”

Virgo

Just Because You Can Doesn’t Mean It’s Your Job

Mars is in your sign, and your calendar reflects that—every hour spoken for, every task optimized. But the Cancer Sun is warming your social sphere, and Mercury retrograde asks whether you’re avoiding intimacy by drowning in errands. You’re doing a lot. Maybe too much. You might even get praised for it—but notice how your joy keeps getting pushed to “after I finish this one last thing.” Cancel one obligation. Or three. Call a friend and don’t multitask. If your to-do list never includes fun, it’s just a guilt trap in bullet form.

Libra

Aspirational Thinking Is Not a Plan

Venus in Gemini has you deep in your vision board era—learning new things, daydreaming about a life with linen sheets and perfect handwriting. But the Sun in Cancer spotlights your career and reputation, and Mercury’s retrograde creates confusion around authority and ambition. Mars in Virgo stirs anxiety in the background—you may find yourself catastrophizing small things, like a typo or a weird tone in an email. Breathe. You’re not behind. You just need to stop planning five futures and commit to showing up in one.

Scorpio

Don’t Go Full Documentary Mode

The Cancer Sun is expanding your worldview, but you’re taking notes like you’re preparing for a court deposition. Venus in Gemini makes you flirt with intensity, but Mars in Virgo activates your social instincts—and with Mercury retrograde brewing, you’re tempted to test people’s loyalty via vague Instagram stories or “just wondering” texts. Don’t. This week’s not about uncovering hidden motives. It’s about trusting yourself to be okay even if someone disappoints you. Let things stay lightly unresolved. Watch a dumb movie. Don’t analyze it afterward.

Sagittarius

You’re Not a Therapist, You’re Just Nice

With the Sun in Cancer, people are emotional around you—and with Mercury stationing retrograde, they might also be disorganized, dramatic, and showing up late. You’re tempted to play the wise, humorous confidante again, but Mars in Virgo is already stretching your professional nerves. This isn’t the week to solve everyone’s issues with one perfect text. Set a boundary that doesn’t need a paragraph. Let your silence do the heavy lifting. Your peace doesn’t have to come with a punchline or a moral takeaway.

Capricorn

Control Isn’t the Same as Clarity

Mars is in your ambition zone and you’re powering through like a one-person consulting firm with no water breaks. But the Sun is in Cancer—your opposite sign—and Mercury’s about to backspin through your shared resource sector. You may want support. You may need support. But you’ll still act like asking for help is a moral weakness. Pause. Let someone hold the clipboard. Or bring you lunch. The world won’t fall apart if you step back for a few hours. You might even feel human again.

Aquarius

You Can’t Optimize Your Way Out of Feeling Weird

Venus in Gemini gives you flair, humor, and excellent texting skills. But the Cancer Sun highlights your everyday obligations, and Mercury’s retrograde through Leo adds friction to your closest partnerships. Mars in Virgo triggers your control issues in subtle ways—micromanaging shared expenses, reformatting Google Docs, pretending you “don’t care” while clearly spiraling. Stop. You’re allowed to care. You just don’t have to win. Sit with the awkwardness. Let someone else lead the group project, even if they do it wrong.

Pisces

The Nostalgia Isn’t Helping

The Cancer Sun makes everything feel like a memory, even when it’s happening in real time. You’re misty-eyed over a grilled cheese, or considering texting an ex just to “say hi” (don’t). Venus in Gemini stirs up your home life, while Mars in Virgo pokes at your relationship sector. Meanwhile, Mercury retrograde muddies emotional clarity. Try not to make decisions while drenched in wistfulness. Go outside. Clean something. Romanticizing the past is easy; actually showing up to the present is the brave part.
