Pluto retrograde in Aquarius 2025: 4 signs transformed by this transit
Pluto retrograde 2025
Our power planet of destruction and creation, Pluto, reminds us that we can't grow without letting go. During this retrograde cycle, we're summoned to assess the ways we hold and share power, resist change and obsess over or attempt to control resources, sexuality and even death itself.
While all among us will be affected by Pluto's backspinning, four signs will feel the effects most acutely. Read for your sun and rising sign.

Pluto retrograde in Aquarius is slashing, burning and birthing in your tenth house of legacy, career, daddy issues and authority figures, Taurus.
You may encounter challenging situations that test whether you are ready to lead and grow, or satisfied to follow and grovel.
If you're the brave b—ch we know you are under that genteel veneer of athleisure wear, you could find yourself striking out on your own and building the kind of career that gives you both financial stability and creative flexibility.

Glad tidings to the lion pride.
Pluto Rx is getting close to the bone in your seventh house of partnerships and trusted alliances, Leo.

Remember, big cats, what is comfortable is not always beneficial. If an ending, shift, or separation presents itself, trust that it was time for the energy of that relationship to transmute and make room for something more in line with your beautiful, imminent becoming.

Pluto, your planetary ruler, is turning over the soil in your fourth house of ancestry and apron strings, home and roots.
How do you keep yourself safe, Scorpio? Is it possible that these behaviors are maladaptive, born from a need to protect a younger, more vulnerable version of yourself?

A therapist I spoke to said the difference between surviving and living is dependent on our ability to remember rather than relive our traumas. I hope you'll find the inspiration to look back and dig deep, Scorpio, as I suspect that planted betwixt the pain is the knowledge that you were not only born to survive but to live, happy, healthy and free.

Ahoy, water bearers, this retrograde is digging deep in your first house of identity and perception, a summons to step into the operating system 2.0 or 7009.0 version of yourself.
As a fixed sign, Aquarius, you tend to hold on tight, but I suspect that there are more than a few habits, accessories, beliefs and well-worn ruts that could get culled in service or a truer, newer you. Where, when and why are you resisting the future?

Horoscope for Thursday, July 31st, 2025
The Mercury retrograde continues to shed light on information that may have been hidden, missing or overlooked up until now. It's an excellent time for going over plans with a fine-tooth comb and identifying problems to be resolved. The atmosphere is also ripe for experiences that can aid us in getting to get to the root cause of any negative feelings or relationship issues we have. However, given that many people may be feeling extra touchy today, it may be necessary to retreat to our respective corners for a little while. ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Stick to your inner circle today when it comes to making plans or sharing personal details. Not everyone deserves to have a place on your team. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Before taking matters into your own hands, can you work with others to find a mutually beneficial solution? GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Begin now with what you have rather than waiting for the perfect opportunity to arrive. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Setting aside enough me-time for yourself is a good way of practicing healthy boundaries. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) It may prove useful to give people a wide berth today so that you don't absorb their negative vibes. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Seeking the advice of a helpful friend or peer could aid you in resolving a problem. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Know your worth so that you don't waste too much time seeking approval from others. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Beware of overbearing family members or getting pulled into petty family drama. Keep your distance for now. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Avoid rushing into a decision. You need more time to think things through. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Teamwork is what will make your dream work! Ditch the do-it-yourself method for now. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Don't allow your stubbornness or inflexibility to get in the way of your progress or success. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Try and focus on what makes you happy rather than ruminating on things you can't control. FOR TODAY'S BIRTHDAY You're outgoing and personable. You have an undeniable magnetism about you that people love. Whether you're pursuing a goal or the object of your affections, you go full throttle. You never do anything small; you always go big. You're as magnificent as you are magnanimous. You set yourself apart from the crowd with your talent, authenticity and bravery. You love having fun and making people laugh. You teach the rest of us the value of unabashed joy. This year gives you an opportunity to improve your emotional and financial security. BIRTHDATE OF: Wesley Snipes, actor; Mark Cuban, businessman/television personality; B.J . Novak , actor/producer.

Your Scorpio monthly horoscope for August 2025
You're the main character and the moment, Scorpio! The month starts off in Leo season, and you're laser focused on your longterm goals and life direction. Some could experience changes at work - a promotion or raise or maybe you want to shift career directions altogether. There can also be some major shifts in your key relationships, regarding personal goals, or even your living situation. Do your best to not be your own worst enemy when Mars moves into Libra on 6 August. Over the next few weeks, it's easy to give in to your inner people pleaser, leaving you in a lurch. This is not the time to add more to your plate and doing so can undermine your own healing work and sense of stability. Setting boundaries will be key and you're also focused on changing your own habits and patterns that keep you stuck. Your schedule gets the best of you when Mars in Libra stares down Saturn in Aries on 8 August. You might decide to quit a job on a whim or maybe you call out an annoying co-worker. Your responsibilities feel like they're piling up and can feel temporarily overwhelming. You might have to ask for help or say no to someone. The Full Moon in Aquarius on 9 August shines a light on your private life. Perhaps there is a situation that's evolving at home - maybe you're moving or experiencing a shift in a family dynamic. This energy is also helpful for making peace with the past and moving on for good. Career hiccups begin to clear up once Mercury Retrograde in Leo ends on 11 August. You're feeling more confident about which goals you're focused on and have a plan and a vision to get there. Conversations about raises and promotions also pick up steam once again. On the same day, Venus and Jupiter, the two luckiest planets in the sky, share a kiss. You're learning lucky news and having conversations that make you feel excited and hopeful about what comes next. Maybe someone tells you they love you or maybe you get a book deal! A wish is fulfilled and you're feeling grateful. Meaningful conversations can also take place. You could receive a compliment from someone unexpected when Mercury in Leo links up with Mars in Libra on 14 August. This energy is also productive and can help you put the finishing touches on something you'll be ready to debut soon. You can also squash misunderstandings and get back on the same page as others today. The Sun enters Virgo on 22 August and you're craving more time with friends. The next few weeks put you in a social and collaborative mood. This is a great time to network, attend events, and brainstorm with others. There's a New Moon in Virgo, on the same day, that brings a new friendship or ally into your world. Someone who believes in you and your dreams could show up with an opportunity. You're gaining more attention at work when Venus moves into Leo on 25 August, but you'll have to face unhealthy bosses or power struggles on 26 August when Venus in Leo sits across from Pluto in Aquarius. The next few weeks brings more accolades and attention your way, so don't shy away from the spotlight!

Horoscope for Thursday, July 24th, 2025
Today gifts us with a new moon full of inspiration and promise. We can harness this moon to shore up the courage needed to get out of our own way and achieve success. While this isn't the best time to start new projects or goals because of the Mercury retrograde, it is a good time for identifying things we need to change that may be blocking our path toward greatness. This can be a useful day for facing a fear, working on our self-development, or creating a plan of action for what we want to achieve. ARIES (March 21 to April 19) While you may have many goals you want to accomplish, can you find a way to appreciate where you are now? TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Follow your internal compass and let it lead you to where you want to be. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You may experience a breakthrough with a current project, which can bring you closer to completing it. On another note, seek out ways to improve your mindset. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) If you're not happy with your career or finances, an option may be presented that can help you change this. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Being your best self isn't always about going above and beyond. Sometimes it means letting yourself be. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Surrender doesn't mean giving up; it means accepting that there will always be things beyond your control. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) A friendship may need more care and attention. Use this time to strengthen your bond. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) If you want to be a better leader or simply be better at what you do, now's the time to learn how. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Why not commit to reading all those books you've bought or borrowed and have yet to start or finish? CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) It may be time to deal with an issue that you've been avoiding. Addressing it may be emotional for you, but it could also be empowering. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Today is advantageous for renegotiating a contract or clearing the air. Teaming up with someone you've worked with in the past might also be an option. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) If you've been feeling rundown, overworked or disorganized, today can be pivotal in re-establishing some balance back into your life. FOR TODAY'S BIRTHDAY You're brilliant and bold. Your aura exudes power and positivity. You're imaginative and clever. You're brave enough to put yourself out there and be seen. You take chances on new opportunities with confidence. You never allow people to see you sweat. But even with how composed you are, you're learning that keeping it together all the time is not only impossible, it's exhausting. This year, aim to give yourself grace as you grow more comfortable in your skin. A very self-fulfilling time is emerging for you. BIRTHDATE OF: Jennifer Lopez, singer/actress; Bindi Irwin, TV personality/wildlife conservationist; Elisabeth Moss, actress/director.
