Cancer Horoscope July 2025
Caring Cancer
There’s strong emphasis on your star sign Cancer throughout July. This is your birthday month and the Sun remains in your star sign until the 22nd. When the Sun is in your sign, it’s your time to shine and put yourself first.
Cancer season is a positive time for caring and counselling, listening and advising as your star sign is one of the emotional and empathic water signs. Whether you’re offering advice or asking for help or support, be there for other people and ensure you have people you can lean on in return.
The other planet in Cancer is big planet Jupiter which has taken up residence in your star sign for the coming year. Therefore, you may spend your time day-dreaming or contemplating who you are and what makes you happy.
It’s a good month to dive into self-help books or a personal development course but most importantly breathe life into your long-term dreams and goals.
Not all your plans will work out this month, however, as two planets are turning retrograde this month in Aries and your career and future sector. They are the planet of dreams Neptune on the 4th and the planet of authority Saturn on the 13th. Perhaps, you reject or say no to a future path because you’re aware it doesn’t fulfil you on an emotional or personal level.
Both planets will be back in Aries and your career and future sector with power and intensity early next year. February 2026 could be special so work towards this date if you’re still experimenting and exploring your next steps.
Full Moon Capricorn
You’re a Moon child as the Moon is the planetary body which is linked to your star sign Cancer. Therefore, you’re wise to be in tune with the Moon and make a point of celebrating or harnessing the Moon’s energy.
The Full Moon is a time of completion or culmination when emotions are heightened and passions are strong. It’s a good time to make clear decisions and balance your head and heart in doing so. During the Full Moon phase, it’s helpful to consider what you want to release or let go of.
Therefore, the 10th is likely to be a pivotal date when there’s a Full Moon cutting across the Cancer/Capricorn axis of the zodiac. This Full Moon highlights the personal sector of your horoscope and your relationship sector. It’s likely to be a definitive date for love and partnership. Ground yourself during the Full Moon phase and decide who stays and who goes.
Money Opportunities
Money matters could take a turn for the better this month. Therefore, if one door closes, try to remain positive as a new door may open at a later date. This is due to dynamic fire sign activity in the star sign Leo and your personal money sector.
Talk planet Mercury is here throughout July encouraging you to talk yourself up, show off your skills and talents and ask for what you deserve and what you’re worth. Discuss finances with people close to you and get money matters moving.
The Sun joins Mercury in Leo on the 22nd and there’s a New Moon here on the 24th. This would be an ideal date to set your intentions and initiate new beginnings around money, values and self-worth. Take advantage of any new opportunity that comes your way.
Trust your natural instincts around money and this may mean being willing to let go of or be less attached to money, assets or possessions.
There is a proviso, however, because Mercury turns retrograde in Leo on the 18th and will be on go slow until August 11th. Therefore, you may have to bide your time before a new money chapter begins.
Perhaps, you’re waiting on another person to boost your finances. Or you lose a financial support in your life. The key date is the 25th. Consider where you may need to cut your losses so you have more freedom, especially emotionally.
Virgo Vibes
Finally this month, action planet Mars is in earth sign Virgo throughout July, the star sign which represents order, organisation and routine. It’s a time when you benefit from doing your filing, getting your desk organised and sorting things out so you know where everything is, both at home and at work.
Plus, with Mercury turning retrograde on the 18th, it’s even more important to crack on with things before Mercury switches direction. Try not to procrastinate and don’t put off those all-important conversations. Get on top of forms, bureaucracy and essential maintenance as July begins.
Virgo rules all forms of communication in your horoscope, both the spoken and written word. If you’re not on top of your situation or you’ve got a lot of demands on your time, aim to have an efficient routine and look after yourself well.
If you feel unusually emotional at times this month, notice where you feel overwhelmed. Consider what you do in life that inspires you and what saps your energy. This might be linked to unhealthy habits or wanting more from life than the mundane and everyday.
Start with the basics and keep coming back to what’s manageable and real. Put daily habits in place which benefit your mind, body and spirit. Manage your time well and see how you can effectively utilise the time you spend commuting or during other times in the day.
Uranus Enters Gemini
The major move this month if not this year involves wild-card Uranus changing star sign for the first time in seven years. Uranus has been in the earth sign Taurus ruling your friends, groups and social activities since 2018.
This month, Uranus moves into the star sign of communication Gemini on the 7th and Gemini is the most hidden sector of your horoscope. Once Uranus moves into Gemini, this may stir things up from your past or reconnect you with a deeper sense of yourself.
Uranus in Gemini is lively and your mind may be overly busy. Therefore, there’s wisdom in slowing down and this may provide an opportunity to get off the hamster wheel of life and see what lies beneath.
This could be a time of enlightenment or awakening when you’re ready to explore the unknown and set off on a new journey to discover more about yourself. Or perhaps, you’re ready to explore a new relationship in your life, one that you’ve not been ready to embrace up until now.
Uranus favours spontaneity and being impulsive. Plus, Uranus doesn’t enter Gemini alone but is alongside the planet of love and relating Venus. This isn’t the time to stay stuck or rooted in one place. Instead, change beckons.
