Keiko’s Horoscope for your Moon Sign

On Leo New Moon July 2025

For Aries Moons

 ★ Opportunities Spark from Playfulness

 In the second half of July, your overflowing creativity is ready to burst forth—this is the time to prioritize your inner voice above all else. Whether it’s games, art, anime, music, or events, dive into whatever your soul is pointing toward. Even in your work, the keyword is “playfulness.” Something you’ve done just for fun could suddenly shine in the spotlight when applied to your career.

Unexpected encounters may also arise during this period. If you happen to run into someone you merely exchanged business cards or greetings with in the past, take it as a sign—there’s potential in that connection. It's worth following up and deepening the exchange.

This is also a great time to revisit and refine past proposals that were previously shelved. Adding a new touch to an unfinished illustration, for example, could bring incomplete works into their full brilliance and earn public acclaim. Don’t mimic others—create something truly original that only you can bring to life.

For Taurus Moons

★  Home Upgrades Bring Good Fortune
In the second half of July, you may suddenly find yourself thinking, “I want a home where I can truly relax.” This feeling is no coincidence—the New Moon on the 25th carries powerful energy for renewing your sanctuary. It’s an excellent time to start looking for a new place to live or to rearrange your space and replace furniture. Simply making visible changes to your surroundings can raise your overall fortune.

Be especially mindful of communication with family during this time. Misunderstandings like “I thought I said that” or “I assumed they knew” may cause tension. Don’t forget to follow up and gently remind others about important matters. If there’s appreciation you’ve left unspoken, consider expressing it with a handwritten card. A short personal note will resonate more deeply than words spoken or sent by email.

It’s also a perfect moment to try making nostalgic dishes—regional specialties from your hometown or your grandmother’s cooking. The gentle, soul-soothing flavors will nourish your spirit and recharge your energy for the days ahead.

For Gemini Moons

★  The Power of Words Expands—for Better or Worse
Known for your strong communication skills, Gemini Moons may feel that ability amplified in the second half of July—but that influence can go either way. That’s because both the New Moon and Mercury retrograde occur in your very own house of communication, magnifying your voice but also its consequences.

It’s a great time to launch a podcast or voice-based platform like Voicy. Starting under this New Moon could lead to a smooth takeoff and the potential for long-lasting popularity. Don’t overlook old notes or drafts tucked away in your files—past knowledge could suddenly bloom, or a long-forgotten license or skill may become unexpectedly relevant.

That said, be extra cautious with your words. Misunderstandings and miscommunications are more likely now. Double-check important emails and DMs before hitting send. On social media, a lighthearted joke could unintentionally cause backlash, so choose your words carefully. Thoughtful and mindful communication is key to making the most of this influential time.

For Cancer Moons

★ Reevaluate Your Value as a Personal Brand
With both the New Moon and Mercury retrograde aligning at the same time, the second half of July is the perfect moment to reassess your worth as a "brand." Take time to carefully review your skills, strengths, past experiences, and accomplishments—you may uncover hidden assets you hadn’t noticed before. If you’ve previously earned a certificate or studied a subject, consider resuming that education and aiming for a higher level.

This is also a great time to finally kick off that side hustle you’ve left untouched. Revisiting contracts and negotiating better terms could also lead to a boost in your income stream.

One warning: impulsive spending. If you’re considering a big purchase, don’t make decisions on the fly. Take your time to compare options before making a commitment. Using a budgeting app can help you visualize spending patterns and eliminate wasteful habits.

Miscommunication around money is a particular risk in late July—especially the classic “I thought I paid” or “I thought I invoiced” pitfalls. Double-check every transaction and keep a clear record to avoid financial confusion.

For Leo Moons

★ Refine Your Presentation and Style of Expression
With both the New Moon and Mercury retrograde taking place in your sign, the latter half of July marks a powerful opportunity to reinvent yourself as the main character of your own life. This New Moon shines a spotlight on self-expression and self-image, awakening your inner performer.

It’s the perfect time to boldly refresh your look—change up your hairstyle, makeup, or fashion. Try wearing vibrant colors you wouldn’t normally choose; you’ll instantly feel like a “new you.” While Mercury is still retrograde, focus on preparing—take new profile photos, brainstorm fresh taglines, and update your social bios after mid-August when Mercury goes direct.

One effective strategy during this period is to revisit and republish past content that performed well—polish it up and share it again on social media. Breathing new life into your past creations in today’s context can open unexpected doors. Sharing behind-the-scenes moments, such as outtakes from photo shoots, can also create engaging content that resonates with your audience.

For Virgo Moons

 ★ Face the Truth You've Been Avoiding

In the latter half of July, your focus should shift to the unseen—intangible matters hold more truth than what's visible on the surface. The New Moon on July 25 is set to unearth emotional issues you've been shelving for some time. Though this may stir emotional turbulence, grounding practices like meditation and soaking in a bath with coarse sea salt will help you release and reset.

With Mercury also in retrograde during this period, you may find yourself unusually sensitive to how others phrase things—even casual comments could feel piercing. When that happens, pause and take a deep breath. Remind yourself that you're viewing things through the foggy lens of Mercury retrograde.

Although this phase may seem calm on the outside, it's like a quiet tide stirring your innermost depths. That very inner unrest is what brings your "hidden treasures" to the surface—insights, talents, or emotional clarity that had long remained buried within.

For Libra Moons

★ Enjoy the Blend of Old and New Connections

In the second half of July, the combination of the New Moon and Mercury retrograde will stir changes in your social circle. You may find yourself interacting with people from different industries or backgrounds—types you’re not typically surrounded by. At first, these encounters might feel a little awkward, but with a few more interactions, you’ll find your rhythms aligning and unexpected synergy emerging. People you meet now could even revive old projects or dreams you had once set aside for lack of connections.

If someone on social media catches your interest, don’t hesitate to leave a friendly comment—it’s a simple way to make yourself known. At the same time, Mercury retrograde favors reunions. This is the perfect moment to reconnect with old friends, former classmates, or past colleagues. Reach out with a casual “How have you been?”—you might be surprised by where it leads. A simple reconnection could blossom into a summer event or creative collaboration. Updates on each other's lives will not only warm your heart but also reignite your drive.

For Scorpio Moons

★ Lay the Groundwork for a Career Leap—But Watch for Costly Errors

The combined energy of the New Moon and Mercury retrograde stirs your inner ambition, setting your sights firmly on career growth. Now is a favorable time to pitch a new project to your boss or put yourself forward for the role you’ve been eyeing. If you’re considering a job change, dust off an old resume or cover letter and give it a full update. Reaching out to former colleagues or past supervisors via DM could lead to surprising news—perhaps a welcome referral or an unexpected collaboration opportunity.

That said, Mercury retrograde can sneak hidden traps into your emails or contracts. Seemingly minor errors could turn into major problems, so be especially cautious with routine tasks that you usually perform on autopilot. Double-check all important documents without fail. If you’re freelancing, keep a close eye on submission deadlines. Turning in your work earlier than expected might earn you extra points and help solidify your reputation.

For Sagittarius Moons

 ★ Begin a New Course of Study and Elevate Your Perspective

This is a promising period for forming new international connections. You may receive an unexpected email from a friend studying abroad or an invitation to an overseas conference. Keep your passport and luggage ready—you never know when an opportunity to take off will arise. However, Mercury is currently in retrograde, which governs travel, so double-check all hotel and flight bookings, and be especially careful not to mix up departure times.

Now’s also the perfect time to revisit any foreign language studies you may have set aside. Enrolling in courses or webinars to deepen your expertise could yield greater-than-expected rewards. A casual remark from the instructor may suddenly provide clarity on a long-standing question, or a fellow participant’s inquiry could spark a new project idea. Serendipitous moments like these are more likely now.

If you find yourself energized after a session, go ahead and register for the next-level course—this bold step is encouraged! And don’t forget to write down any lingering questions and follow up with the instructor. Meaningful exchanges could lead to further insights.

For Capricorn Moons

 ★ Take Time to Review All Agreements Before Signing

During this period, you may find yourself entering into some form of agreement—be it a loan, insurance, new job, or even a business partnership. What’s worth noting is that Mercury is currently retrograde, which means signing anything on impulse is a definite no-go. Carefully read through all terms and conditions not once, but two or three times. Take your time before deciding whether to commit. For high-stakes financial agreements, consulting a professional is highly advisable.

That said, Mercury retrograde is also a treasure trove for revisiting the past. Now’s your chance to revive a previously shelved proposal or a stalled side hustle idea. With a fresh approach and updated data, you can reshape it into a viable plan to launch after mid-August.

This is also a good time to engage in shadow work. If you’ve been feeling inexplicably drained or plagued by vague anxiety despite resting well, journaling can be a powerful tool. By putting unconscious patterns into words, you’ll lighten the invisible emotional load that’s been weighing you down.

For Aquarius Moons

★ Could That Familiar Face Turn Into a Love Interest?

In the second half of July, partnerships—both personal and professional—take center stage. On the romantic front, new connections may arise, but with Mercury retrograde in effect, your intuition might be a bit off. Avoid making snap judgments based on first impressions; instead, meet a few times and feel things out. There’s also a possibility of rekindling an old flame, or even discovering that love was closer than you thought—perhaps a longtime colleague or someone who's always been there to lend a hand suddenly emerges as a potential partner.

In your professional life, the power of the New Moon supports forming teams or entering into strategic collaborations. You might even be asked to co-lead a new project. But Mercury retrograde mischief is real—double-check meeting times, links, and other logistics. A reminder the day before is essential.

One strong recommendation: revisit a past collaboration that never took off. Give it a fresh polish by aligning it with current market trends and highlighting your partner’s strengths. It could be the perfect time for a successful relaunch.

For Pisces Moons

★ A Daily Shift Starts with a Refreshed Routine

This lunar cycle invites you to rethink your everyday routine. For instance, checking your phone first thing in the morning may be quietly stealing your most precious three minutes of the day. Instead, try this: upon waking, take three deep breaths, then drink a glass of room-temperature water. This small change can dramatically transform your day’s trajectory. Even during your commute, switching from music to a podcast can turn travel time into a mini masterclass.

Self-care is another major theme during this period. The more health-conscious your actions—whether booking a check-up, signing up for the gym, or enrolling in a yoga class—the more effectively you’ll tap into the New Moon’s power.

That said, with Mercury in retrograde, watch out for double-booked appointments or missed emails that could cause schedule disruptions. It’s also a great time to restart a previously abandoned diet or workout plan. If you move forward without pressuring yourself for immediate results, you could see meaningful progress within three months.
