Horoscopes July 21-27: Proceed With Caution As We Usher In Leo Season
After an eventful month, Leo season kicks off (22 July GMT and AEST) this week. But this year, it isn't all glitter bombs and French bubbles as you might expect. With Mercury currently in reverse, there's a sense of ambiguity; not an easy undercurrent at this time of year.
Mid-week, the new moon looks spicy, going head-to-head with Pluto. The energy is giving 'this is the start of something big'—even if you're not intending for it to be prolific. Remember, retrograde cycles are always a time for introspection, so as lofty and playful as that Leo energy might seem on the surface, remember that the stakes are much higher than you might anticipate.
Proceed with caution…
ARIES AND ARIES RISING
This week, the spotlight shifts to all things play, pleasure, and, if you're in that season of life, maybe even kid-related. But with Mercury retrograde also very much in the picture, it's not necessarily all smooth sailing. This is the sort of week where an ex could resurface out of the blue… or you might be the one tempted to do the 'hey stranger' texting. Or perhaps you're questioning your decision to volunteer as the manager of your social sports team. Whatever you're feeling, be mindful that the new moon midweek is a powerful moment. Don't rush into anything.
Sit with what's coming up and trust that your desires—and dislikes—are slowly finding a new shape.
TAURUS AND TAURUS RISING
Home might not feel as predictable as you'd like this week. With Leo season shining a light on family, housemates and domestic responsibilities, the focus is firmly on what you do off the clock. But Mercury retrograde could be stirring up tension or conversations you thought were well and truly done. Whether it's a flatmate dynamic or a simmering disagreement with a family member, the vibe is ripe for reflection. The new moon, which falls midweek, feels intense and could reveal something hidden. Take your time before making big calls about your space or relationships within it.
Now is a time to observe, not act.
GEMINI AND GEMINI RISING
Anyway you cut it, this week, the way you express yourself is the topic du jour. With the Sun and Mercury firmly placing a focus on your communications, especially with siblings, neighbours and anyone in your peripheral orbit, there's a lot going on. With Mercury retrograde also unfolding, wires might cross, or you may find yourself revisiting old conversations or even tech glitches. The new moon midweek brings a kind of explosive quality to whatever it is you're dealing with. It could be a moment of insight or a chance to rethink your approach. If things feel foggy, don't try to force clarity.
Let thoughts settle before hitting send, posting, or confronting. The bigger picture is still coming into focus.
CANCER AND CANCER RISING
You've got money on your mind this week as the Sun piles on to an already noticeable preoccupation with cash flow. Now things kick up a gear as you ponder what you earn, spend and value most. Mercury retrograde could signal hiccups, so check your payslip and take a look through your bank statement to make sure everything is on track, even if you don't usually bother to look. The new moon may bring a bold desire to earn more or spend differently, but try not to act too fast.
Let this be a moment of awareness rather than urgency.
LEO AND LEO RISING
For lions, this week feels extremely personal. Your home season shifts the spotlight firmly on you. But instead of lapping up the attention, you might find this particular energy has you second-guessing your decisions. The way you move, dress, speak or look after your health is all up for consideration. A new moon midweek brings a powerful reset, but it could feel more like a pressure cooker than a party. If something pushes your buttons, try to sit with what's going on beneath the surface for you. Why does this particular encounter feel so tender? Stay curious and try not to make rash decisions.
What's taking shape could last for many moons to come. Don't rush it.
VIRGO AND VIRGO RISING
Hear that? It's the sounds of chill. After a frenetic few months, you're moving into a particularly quiet moment on your astrological year planner. With Leo season stirring up your subconscious and Mercury retrograde doubling down in the same zone, it's less about what's happening outside and more about what you're not saying. The new moon may bring a shocking truth to light or prompt a realisation you weren't expecting. Don't be spooked if emotions surface unexpectedly. Take the time to notice what you've been carrying quietly and what you're ready to release.
There's no rush, so trust that clarity is coming.
LIBRA AND LIBRA RISING
Feeling a bit wobbly? It's not your imagination; it's in the sky. If the group chat is feeling especially heated, take comfort knowing the astrology matches up. Your friendships, networks and group dynamics are under the microscope this week. With Mercury retrograde stirring the Leo part of your chart, you might be reflecting on where you feel out of step with friends. You could find yourself replaying old arguments or getting dragged into a long-standing feud. The new moon midweek brings a chance to reset or reconsider your wider connections.
If you're feeling left out or misunderstood, don't panic. This is a time to recalibrate.
SCORPIO AND SCORPIO RISING
Your career aspirations are in flux this week. It feels like things are heating up, but the trajectory isn't necessarily linear. Leo season always makes you think about longer-term goals you're envisioning, but Mercury retrograde means your professional plans may feel a bit off course. Whether it's a mix-up with your manager or doubts about your future direction, try to take things one day at a time. The midweek new moon is potent and may bring a surge of ambition or a shift in power dynamics. Let it run its course before you do anything rash.
This is a time to watch and learn, not leap blindly into the void.
SAGITTARIUS AND SAGITTARIUS RISING
This week could spark big questions about how your day-to-day aligns with your belief system. For you, it's a time to reflect on how you can attune your movement to something more meaningful. You might find yourself daydreaming about travel or going back to uni. With Mercury retrograde in the mix, it's a time to pause and reflect before taking the next step. The new moon could bring an unexpected insight about your next challenge, whether it involves study, travel or even something deeper (yoga teacher training, perhaps?). Don't worry if things feel unclear. You're meant to get comfortable with the unknown right now.
The answers you're seeking will land when the time is right.
CAPRICORN AND CAPRICORN RISING
You're being pulled to examine what you share—resources, energy and emotional space—and how you balance your own needs with all the other influences in your life. With Mercury retrograde messing with this part of your chart, things like taxes, leases, intimacy or joint finances may feel a little hard to get a handle on. The new moon midweek could bring a fresh start in how you navigate shared commitments, but it's not a time to rush decisions. Instead, use this week to reflect on what feels fair and sustainable.
This is a time to reflect on your own spiritual sovereignty and ponder how you can make more space for the things that bring you joy.
AQUARIUS AND AQUARIUS RISING
Your closest one-on-one relationships are in the spotlight this week, with Leo season putting the focus on the people you're with. That could be your spouse, your best friend, your work wife or business partner. There's a lot going on for someone close to you right now, and the desire to rush in and fix it will be strong. But this isn't an issue that's going to be solved overnight. Let the energy unfold and reserve judgment. Trialling new approaches is fine, but committing to something long-term could be less sensible. As you let go of the steering wheel, notice what comes up for you.
Letting go of control is not easy for an Aquarian, but cathartic, nonetheless.
PISCES AND PISCES RISING
Ready for a before-and-after reveal? Leo season is bringing big, refreshing energy, and your health and well-being are firmly in its sights. You're being invited to reassess your daily schedules and how you prioritise things that bring you joy vs all the other boring life admin you have to do. There's a huffiness to the energy, so if you feel yourself getting impatient, stop and consider what story you're telling yourself. You probably feel a need to control your own time or have a sense of agency over who you show up for. That's valid, but it's not a time to kick off.
Reflect on where your needs aren't being met and what you could do to bring about lasting change.

Horoscopes July 14-20: Find The Opportunity In All The Uncertainty
Horoscopes July 14-20, 2025. This week is all about looking back as not one but two planets hit repeat. The first to slow things down is Saturn, which is also getting a big, blurry influence from Neptune right now. An area of your life might really be craving structure and certainty. But…actually getting either of those things? Near impossible. Hot tip: Sometimes you just have to resign yourself to not knowing, at least for now. It doesn't matter how much you spin your wheels; things don't always stick. Save yourself the heartache and get comfortable with a question mark hanging in the air. Later in the week, Mercury also hits rewind (17 July GMT, 18 July AEST). This kicks off three weeks where you're being asked to review, reconsider and refresh how you approach showing up and being seen. With the Leo parts of our chart highly activated (even though Leo season doesn't kick off for another week), it's a time to think about how you navigate speaking up, especially when you're the only one speaking. ARIES AND ARIES RISING You might feel a little off-kilter this week with the sky serving up some wobbly weather. Saturn and Neptune are moving through the centre stage of your life. You're being invited to sit with uncertainty rather than rush to find a solution to whatever lands in your lap. Uncomfortable as it may be, can you just take a minute to breathe? Mercury's retrograde activates your creativity and joy zone, asking you to reflect on what lights you up and where you may be craving to be seen. Whether it's romance, parenting or self-expression, this is a chance to pause and reconnect with what is really, truly meaningful. TAURUS AND TAURUS RISING You may feel more sensitive than usual this week. With Saturn and Neptune stirring up your subconscious, it's easy to pick up on tension or discomfort without having all the facts. Rather than trying to make sense of it all, allow yourself space to feel without pressure. Mercury retrograde is moving through your home and family zone, encouraging you to reflect on your foundations. Is there room to feel more seen or supported where you live, or by those closest to you? Now is not the time to act, but it is the time to reflect. GEMINI AND GEMINI RISING This week asks you to move slowly, especially when it comes to friends and social gatherings. With Saturn and Neptune casting a long shadow, group dynamics may feel vague, wishy washy or just a bit 'off'. The trick is to remember, you don't have to fix anything. Just notice what's shifting. Meanwhile, Mercury retrograde is lighting up your communication zone. It's a beautiful time to reflect on how you express yourself, especially in close connections. Are you feeling truly heard? Ponder the question without rushing to answer. CANCER AND CANCER RISING Your long-term career goals might feel like they're in a holding pattern this week. With Saturn and Neptune influencing your professional zone, things that usually feel clear or linear might feel open-ended. Trust that something deeper is being reworked. Mercury retrograde is turning your attention to money, value and self-worth. This is your opportunity to reflect on where you would like to feel more appreciated, whether financially or otherwise. You're not meant to act yet. Just let yourself explore what's shifted for you in recent months. LEO AND LEO RISING Big dreams might feel slower or fuzzier than usual, but that's not a bad thing. Saturn and Neptune are encouraging you to sit with the unknown when it comes to travel, study or long-term plans. Let go of needing everything to make perfect sense right now. Mercury retrograde in your sign signals the need for you to take a personal pause. It's your cue to reflect on how you've been showing up – and whether you feel truly seen. You're not meant to reinvent yourself just yet. First, take time to notice what wants to be reimagined. VIRGO AND VIRGO RISING There may be a sense that you're carrying more than your fair share—emotionally or financially. With Saturn and Neptune in your shared resources zone, boundaries can blur easily. Don't rush to sort it out. Instead, take stock. Mercury retrograde is now moving through your subconscious and inner world. It's the perfect time to reflect on old stories, hidden fears or unresolved dynamics that are quietly shaping how you move through the world. You don't have to fix anything right now. Simply honour what comes up. LIBRA AND LIBRA RISING Your most important relationships may feel a little more complex this week. Saturn and Neptune are encouraging you to slow down and notice the subtleties—what's unsaid, or what's shifting beneath the surface. There's no need to chase clarity, as challenging as that may feel. Mercury retrograde brings focus to your friendships and broader community. It's a chance to check in with where you feel most valued and understood. Which group chats fill your cup, and which ones leave you flat? Take notice of where your energy is truly seen. SCORPIO AND SCORPIO RISING Your usual routines might feel less predictable than usual. With Saturn and Neptune moving through your daily work and wellbeing zone, you may be craving more structure, but facing a 'failure to launch' sort of vibe. Let yourself slow down. Mercury retrograde in your career and visibility sector offers a chance to reflect on how you want to be recognised. Have your efforts been acknowledged? Are you pursuing goals that still feel aligned? No need for dramatic moves. Focus on gentle inquiry. The clarity will come once you've made space to listen in. SAGITTARIUS AND SAGITTARIUS RISING Your creative spark is still there, it just might be flickering a little as Saturn and Neptune invite you to redefine what joy and pleasure look like. Whether it's parenting, dating or your artistic side, you're being asked to slow down and reconnect with what feels real. Mercury retrograde stirs up questions about big-picture plans, study or travel. Instead of pushing forward, use this moment to take stock of where you're at and what you're feeling. Are you being recognised for your growth? Are your beliefs still serving you? Allow yourself time for a soft recalibration. CAPRICORN AND CAPRICORN RISING If it feels like things on the home front may feel like they're shifting beneath the surface, know that you're not imagining things—it's in the sky. Saturn and Neptune in your domestic zone, asking you to release the need for certainty, no small ask for a seagoat. No amount of planning, pros and cons lists, or bullet journaling will help you arrive at a clear solution. Later in the week, Mercury retrograde draws your attention to shared resources—money, space, emotional investments, etc. It's a good time to check in on where you may be giving too much or not feeling supported enough. No rush to change anything. For now, simply honour what your instincts are telling you. AQUARIUS AND AQUARIUS RISING If you're struggling to find the right words or generally feel like you're stuck in second gear, know that's a vibe. Conversations? A little foggy. Saturn and Neptune are in your communication zone, meaning it's not always easy to read between the lines. Instead of overthinking, give people (and yourself) room to process. Mercury retrograde is turning your focus to your most significant relationships. This isn't about making decisions, it's about observing. Do you feel seen? Understood? Valued? Give yourself space to reflect without judgment (or at least try). Insight will arrive when you give it the space to unfold naturally. PISCES AND PISCES RISING There's a murky quality this week that could feel tricky to navigate. You might feel like you're doing all the right things, but still not getting the results you expected. Saturn and Neptune in your money zone are asking you to reflect on what value really means to you. Not just income, but effort, time and emotional energy. Mercury retrograde, which can disrupt your daily routine, invites you to review your schedule, habits, and wellbeing practices. Where are you being stretched too thin? What needs a little more care or refinement? Think of this as a soft reset, not a full stop.

Hailey Bieber Reacts To Justin Bieber's Surprise Album Announcement
Justin Bieber is dropping new music for the first time since 2021. On Thursday, Justin and Hailey Bieber took to their Instagram accounts to drop photos of billboards advertising his new album. Following the posts, The Hollywood Reporter broke the news officially. The album will be titled Swag and is releasing on Friday July 11, likely around 5 PM AEST, for those of us on this side of the equator. This project comes after major life changes, including the birth of his son Jack Blues Bieber last year, as well as his split from longtime manager Scooter Braun in 2023. Concurrently, Justin and Hailey have also been the source of constant speculation regarding their marriage. Though, recent social media posts seem to indicate they are in a good place at the moment. The album will be made up of 20 tracks and includes features from Gunna, Sexxy Red, and Cash Cobain. The track titles suggest the album will touch on mental health, his marriage, fatherhood, and faith. Notably, many of the official promotional images seem to feature both Hailey and Jack, so we can assume his family will be a recurring theme. Hailey herself has already reacted to the news, taking to her Instagram stories to not only share images of album promotions, but also to reference Justin's 'clocking it' meme in the process. She wrote, 'Is it finally clocking to you fucking losers?' under a photo of the track list. We're clocking it. And surely all will be even more clear, when the album officially drops.
