Weekly Astrology Forecast — July 28 – Aug 3, 2025

Weekly Astrology Forecast

Here is the Psychic Scoop Weekly Astrology Forecast for the week of July 28, 2025 – August 3, 2025: 

This week starts on Monday with Venus in Gemini sextiling Chiron in Aries. With Venus (representing love, relationships, and values) making a harmonious aspect to Chiron (the asteroid/centaur known as the”wounded healer”), there’s an opportunity to focus on self-worth and healing within relationships. This Transit can open us up to the pain and suffering of others that we may otherwise overlook. It brings compassion and understanding to the forefront, making it a little easier to put ourselves in someone else’s shoes.

By the end of the day — close to midnight UT — the Moon will have moved up to 27° Virgo and squared Venus. This aspect is relatively benign, although it can see you briefly trying to find ways to reconcile the disconnect between what you want (Venus) and what you need (the Moon.)

Weekly Astrology Forecast

Here is the Psychic Scoop Weekly Astrology Forecast for the week of July 7, 2025 – July 13, 2025: 

We start this week with a bang on Monday, with Uranus — the planet associated with excitement, rebellion, nonconformity and change — leaving Taurus behind and moving into Gemini, for the first time in almost 84 years. The last time Uranus moved through Gemini — between 1941 and 1949 — coincided with a period of great civil and global unrest (there were several major wars during this time, most significantly, World War II) but also a period of important humanitarian efforts, progress, and change. These are all associated with Uranus, which not only governs activism, individuation, and rebelliousness but is also strongly linked to evolution, humanitarian causes, and social change.

Uranus’ ingress into Gemini conjuncts the fixed star Alcyone, which is the brightest star in the Pleiades. The seven brightest stars in this constellation were named for the Seven Sisters (daughters of Titan) in Greek mythology, with Alcyone the most renowned as she’d born the children of Poseidon. The astrological implications of Uranus conjunct Alcyone are powerful. And it’s higher vibration, it amplifies the Uranian call for social change, but a lower vibration Alcyone / Uranus possibility suggests a more aggressive form of activism, which could lead to social unrest.

Also on Monday, Venus trines Pluto. This transit brings out the urge to merge in people, and it can open you up to meaningful connections with others. Whether these are romantic / sexual in nature or just significant in terms of shared interests and ideals remains to be seen.

Weekly Astrology Forecast

 Here is the Psychic Scoop Weekly Astrology Forecast for the week of June 30, 2025 – July 6, 2025: 

As we start the week on Monday, every planet except for Pluto is besieged between Saturn and Mars. As a result, there may be areas in your life — in all of our lives — where it feels as though all of our efforts are being met with resistance. Although some classical astrologers specify this as valid only when Mars is applying to Saturn, it may be important to watch how this manifests in the world around us.

At the same time all planets — again aside from Pluto — are contained within what is known as the Draconic Bowl, or within the confines of the lunar nodes. This is indicative of a period of time where external events, as in those happening around you — in your neighborhood, your community, your country and the world at large — are likely to have a deeper, more meaningful and personal impact on you.

Weekly Astrology Forecast

Here is the Psychic Scoop Weekly Astrology Forecast for the week of May 26, 2025 – June 1, 2025:

Mercury moves into Gemini on Monday, sextiling both Neptune and Saturn in the early morning hours. Mercury is dignified in Gemini, the sign that it co-rules with Virgo. Mercury in Gemini is curious, adaptable,  and changeable. It’s an excellent multitasker, with a penchant for gathering facts and information. It’s also restless and very easily bored.

The sextile to Saturn is good for organizing your thoughts and being productive. It’s focused, rational and sensible. It likes to make lists and follow the rules. The Neptune portion of this configuration can soften some of the strictness that’s usually present with Saturn / Mercury aspects, and add a bit of an idealistic flair.

Weekly Astrology Forecast

Here is the Psychic Scoop Weekly Astrology Forecast for the week of May 19, 2025 – May 25, 2025:

As we start this week, on Monday, the Moon is in aloof and impersonal Aquarius, a fixed air sign associated with independence, open-mindedness and innovation. The Moon in the sign associated with friends and associates — Aquarius — will generally indicate an excellent time for connecting and interacting with others. But this one is complicated by its role in a t-square involving Mercury and Mars.

Mercury is all about communications and ideas, while Mars is action, energy, and drive — all commendable traits. But when you pit them against the Moon (feelings, emotions, and sensitivities), they can bring out the more unsavory impulses related to these planets, like anger, aggression and impatience.

Weekly Astrology Forecast

Here is the Psychic Scoop Weekly Astrology Forecast for the week of May 12, 2025 – May 18, 2025:

This week starts on Monday, with a Full Moon in Scorpio and Mercury squaring Pluto. The Mercury / Pluto square can be overly sensitive to criticism at best and deliberately cruel at worst. It’s good for doing research, but not so good for relying on the conclusions you may arrive at. The potential for distorting things or interpreting them to meet your expectations is too high.

The square (90° aspect) increases the potential for minor misunderstandings to get blown out of proportion. This propensity may be even more prominent, with both planets at anaretic degrees. It won’t be the time to back someone into a corner or try to force their hand. It’s best to hold back on setting anything in stone, as the tendency to misconstrue things during this transit is greater than you may realize.

Weekly Astrology Forecast

Here is the Psychic Scoop Weekly Astrology Forecast for the week of May 5, 2025 – May 11, 2025:

Mercury in Aries sextiles Jupiter in Gemini as we start the week on Monday. Mercury and Jupiter are natural polarities, with each ruling opposing signs (Gemini and Sagittarius, or Virgo and Pisces). But the sextile is a conciliatory aspect that begs the question “why can’t we just all get along?” It brings these two planets together to smooth over disappointments and hurt feelings and make everyone feel included.

This transit is great for sitting down and having a heart-to-heart talk with a loved one. It’s a light-hearted and engaging aspect that emphasizes sharing, learning and exchanging ideas. It says you can keep things interesting without going too deep; you can have playful and pleasant encounters with others without worrying about stepping on anyone’s toes.

Weekly Astrology Forecast — April 28, 2025 – May 4, 2025

Weekly Astrology Forecast

Here is the Psychic Scoop Weekly Astrology Forecast for the week of April 28, 2025 – May 4, 2025:

As we start this week, on Monday, the Moon is still New in Taurus, the sign of her exaltation.  This archetype speaks of getting in touch with nature and the earth, and with taking care of “business.” This is a good time for thinking about making, saving and investing money. It’s also a good time for taking care of your physical body and for indulging all five senses.

Mars and Pluto are still in a tight opposition, a condition that’s amplified by this aspect’s close proximity to Vulcanus, which is currently conjunct Mars at 4° Leo and in indirect opposition to Pluto at 3° Aquarius. Vulcanus is associated with power and influence, which, combined with the Mars / Pluto opposition, can be downright explosive. This configuration feels like a bit of a take-no-prisoners transit, which can give rise to encounters with those who are ruthless or uncaring.
