But do remember any deviation from routine and discipline would have its own consequences in the future. Hence be cautious. We are urged to tread ahead looking for opportunities, to innovate and at the same time keep up with the pace around.

The Sun would be transiting through the sign of Gemini as July 2025 starts and on the 16th would shift position to the sign of Cancer where it would be staying till mid-August. Cancer is the abode of Moon and Mercury is already transiting through Cancer. Hence this would be a great period when our hearts and mind sync in phase. Currently the luminaries, the Sun and the Moon are in friendly territory.
The Sun through the watery Cancer is a good time to check on yourself from a unique perspective and find out what is driving your soul. The Sun in transit along with Mercury gives a perspective that is intellectually detached. It urges us to take note that if we are satisfied at the cost another person’s sensitivity. Find ways to balance the energies of the Sun and the Moon so that it would be beneficial to you.
Mercury Retrograde in Cancer-( July 17 – August 10)

Cancer is ruled by Moon and has to do with emotions and sentiments. But Mercury is all about swiftness and sharp intellect. Hence Mercury through Cancer might be frustrating for some of us.
With Mercury retrograding through Cancer, we might meet with certain practical problems. Be prepared to handle some upsets as we swim through choppy waters. However, the retrograde can be handled with a soft and subtle approach to get our point across. Learn to listen and reflect and deepen your experiences with better communication.
Around this time, we have Saturn retrograding as well and this might alter our adherence to structure and stability towards a more practical and moving balance. This is a good time to travel, taking your time off from work and attending retreats. Revive any old undone projects now. Be realistic of what you want out of life. An ideal period to detach ourselves from unwanted things and relationships as well.
Moon transiting through Taurus shifts position to its own home of Cancer at 8 degrees on the 24th of July. Here it joins with the other luminary Sun forming the New Moon for July. With Mercury and Saturn around being in retrograde motion, we might land in muddled waters if not cautious.
This New Moon urges us to pause and reflect inwards. Use the time to review and rework on your life. We are urged to change certain details towards future success. Though the decisions that we make now might not seem constructive, we ought to have a leap of faith. A period for letting go off anything that is clinging onto us gently.
Venus Transits Gemini – (July 26 – August 20)
As July starts Venus would be transiting through Taurus, urging us to find pleasures in the simple things of life. Closely following the New Moon, Venus transiting through its own sign of Taurus moves over to the adjacent house of Gemini on the 26th of July where it stays till the 20th of August. Gemini is ruled over by Mercury which is currently in retrograde motion wherein Jupiter is also transiting currently.
The exact conjunction of Venus and Jupiter in Gemini takes place in August. This Venus transit reminds us that come what may, nature would always have a say towards positivity in life.

Mars Transits Virgo-( July 28 – September 13)
Mars would be transiting through Leo as July starts wherein it has the company of Ketu or the Moon’s South Node. And on the 28th of July, it shifts position to the earth sign of Virgo where it would be staying till mid-September.

Mars is now in the territory of Mercury which is presently under retrograde phase. This indicates a desire to break free but something might be stopping the same. As July ends things start moving, though not in the way we wanted it to be. Do let things to settle down as anything can happen when Virgo’s ruler Mercury is under its retrograde phase.
