Here is the Psychic Scoop Weekly Astrology Forecast for the week of July 14, 2025 – July 20, 2025:
You might think that there’s not much going on this week, especially if you look at the astrology calendar below. You would be wrong! Aside from the fact that Mercury will be going retrograde, as it does three or four times every year, we’ll see several powerful lunar transits and will also bear witness to some interesting astrological phenomena in the coming days. Starting on Monday, the Moon in Pisces will square Uranus, semi-sextile Saturn and Neptune, and trine Jupiter before the day is through.
The Moon-Uranus square, with both planets at 0° (right at midnight, UT), indicates a potential for emotional volatility. Here you’re pitting the planet most associated with disruption and change (Uranus) against the Moon, which is associated with feelings and emotions — among other things. And with both plants at the earliest degrees, you can add impulsivity and a lack of emotional sophistication to the mix. The semi-sextile to Saturn and Neptune makes for a welcome transition, since it can bring a calming, almost sobering quality to the table. By the time you get to the trine to Jupiter — which will be in mutual reception at that point — any earlier emotional turbulence may be forgotten, or replaced with positive sentiments and feelings of goodwill.
That same Pisces Moon, on Tuesday, opposes Mars, conjunct the North Node, and then trines the Cancer Sun before the end of the day. The opposition to Mars can bring petty grievances to the forefront. Mars is action, energy, and drive — all commendable traits. However, when you pit it against the Moon (feelings, emotions, security needs, etc.), it can bring out the less savory Martian impulses, such as anger, aggression, and impatience.
The Moon conjuncting its own North Node can indicate a period of heightened emotional awareness as well as increased intuition. Remember though, that this is only in effect for a few hours, as Moon transits are fleeting. Still, it’s a good idea to pay attention to flashes of insight during this time, and also to new people entering your life. The last lunar aspect — a trine to the Sun — should end the evening on a pleasant, harmonious note.
Jupiter has now made the switch from Evening Star to Morning Star, and by Wednesday, it’s conjuncting both Mercury’s and Venus’s North Nodes at 8° Cancer 59 and 8° Cancer 47, respectively. Jupiter is at 8° Cancer 12 on this date, less than a degree away from the fixed star Aldebaran, one of the four Royal Stars. It’s also still in mutual reception with the Moon, at least for the first several hours of the day.
Jupiter is dignified in the sign of Cancer, where it is exalted. An exalted planet or luminary is said to express its clearest and purest essence in that sign; in this case, it’s the sensitive, loving, nurturing sign of Cancer. The mutual reception with the Moon in Pisces reinforces the qualities, although the Moon is void of course until it moves into Aries around 4:30 a.m. (UT).
The Moon in Aries on Thursday squares Jupiter and trines Mercury. This can make for a high-energy day with lots of emphasis on social interactions. The Moon / Jupiter portion of this configuration may be prone to excess, mainly concerning emotional expression. This can manifest as a sense of enthusiasm or exuberance, with the trine to Mercury adding a flare for boldness and drama.
The Moon in Aries trining Mercury in Leo could see you feeling more courageous about expressing your feelings. But remember that lunar transits are fleeting. This aspect will be in effect for 5 hours at best. Make sure you read the room before you go spilling all your deepest, darkest secrets.
Mercury goes stationary retrograde on Friday, as it does three or four times every year. This time it happens at 15° Leo 32′. As always, you want to be ready to roll with the punches as far as making plans and developing expectations.
When Mercury goes retrograde, Mercury-ruled things naturally start to go a little haywire. Communications tend to run amok, plans get turned on their head, communications devices (computers, electronics, cell phones, etc.), and written communications (emails, texts, letters, etc.) get lost or misconstrued. It’s not a good time to sign contracts or legal documents, and not a good time to purchase Mercury-ruled items (automobiles, televisions, computers, and so on). It will remain retrograde for the next 3+ weeks, when it will change direction again — this time turning back forward — at 4° Leo 16 (on August 12th).
In the meantime, just after Mercury goes retrograde, it forms a sextile to Venus. This is always a pleasant aspect and not at all uncommon. In fact, the only aspects that Venus and Mercury are able to form with one another are the conjunction and a sextile. This is due to the proximity to the Sun and the shortened rotation period for each. This aspect is good for pleasant, harmonious conversation and communications in general
On Saturday, the Sun squares Chiron. As squares are generally tied to conflicts (both internal and external), this one can manifest as a bit of an existential crisis. It pits your ego, will and life-force (the Sun) against the part of you that doesn’t feel worthy. Or that feels you can never quite earn the approval of others.
It creates a need to remedy an imbalance between the desire for self-actualization (the Sun) and the urge for self-sacrifice (Chiron). Heading up a volunteer program or taking part in something meaningful in your community are good ways to satisfy this transit.
Sunday’s Taurus Moon makes one aspect: a sextile to the Sun. The Moon is exalted in Taurus, meaning that it’s a revered placement. An exalted planet or luminary is said to express its clearest and purest essence in that sign; in this case, it’s the calm, gentle, fertile sign of Taurus. The trine to the Sun is a harmonious aspect that reinforces the desire to relax.
With all that in mind, this could be a good day to lounge around the house, listening to music, baking, decorating, and — depending on where in the world you are located — landscaping and gardening. These are all Taurus Moon activities, with the idea of comfort, luxury, and getting in touch with nature and the earth being the corresponding theme.
