Horoscopes for the Sun in Leo, 2025

From July 22nd to August 22nd, the Sun moves through Leo. The lion of the zodiac isn’t exactly subtle; it’s bold and flashy, making a dramatic entrance with its head held high. This is the time of year when we can all benefit from unapologetically working the room, no matter what the haters think.

But Leo doesn’t crave attention for attention’s sake. It cares about going all the way in and acting with its whole heart — and if others take notice, all the better. The next few weeks are an opportunity to practice grabbing the mic (literally or figuratively) and owning your gifts, your creative talents, and your unique youness. If you have stage fright or if you’re afraid to fail, that’s okay. In fact, that’s a good thing, since it means you care. And guess what? Sometimes you will mess up. Sometimes people won’t be happy with your choices. Sometimes you won’t get the reaction you hoped for. Leo season dares us to put ourselves out there anyway, take the risk of being vulnerable, and live as fiercely as possible. So don’t play it small.

New Moon in Leo: Set a new story into motion

The New Moon in Leo on July 24th is packed with potential. Anything you start under this lunation will be deeply transformative, but it will require you to rethink your relationship with external validation. If you’re uncomfortable with either applause or criticism, this is your chance to write a different story that boosts your confidence in your own authority. What’s preventing you from shining as brightly as possible? Under this New Moon, ask yourself how you can take up space more bravely, without letting your fears or doubts get in the way.

Full Moon in Aquarius: Gather like you mean it

Then on August 9th, a buzzy Full Moon in Aquarius shines a light on the power of community. It’s an energizing time to host an event, gather over a meal, or do any group activity that reminds you to buck social norms and embrace unconventional forms of care and connection. On a personal level, this Full Moon illuminates the progress you’ve made over the past six months in the Aquarius part of your chart. Congratulate yourself for all the ways you’ve practiced getting more experimental, pushing your growth edges, and daring to do things differently.

Horoscopes for the Sun in Cancer, 2025

From June 20th to July 22nd, the Sun moves through Cancer. Sol’s entrance into the sign of the crab also marks the solstice — the start of summer in the Northern Hemisphere and the start of winter in the Southern Hemisphere. Whether it’s the brightest day of the year or the darkest, we’ve reached a turning point in the Sun’s journey through the zodiac — and a pivotal moment in the year. The arrival of Cancer season reminds us that it’s never too late to begin again.

Thanks to Jupiter, the next few weeks are especially nourishing. The planet of expansion and abundance is also in Cancer, where it gives us a once-in-12-years opportunity to soak up the generosity that this sign is famous for. If you’ve been keeping your guard up, Jupiter is here to coax you out of your shell. Protecting your feelings may be easier than saying how much you really, truly, deeply care — but what’s the point of going through life without taking any risks? The more you lead with vulnerability, the more you’ll be rewarded this Cancer season.

New Moon in Cancer: Commit to something

The New Moon in Cancer on June 25th is a gorgeous time to set intentions — but following through may be tricky. Clarify the details from the get-go, and make sure that you have the structures and systems to support the projects you want to kick off. Just note that whatever you’re initiating will face roadblocks, but this isn’t necessarily a bad thing. In fact, these challenges could end up strengthening any seeds you plant under this New Moon — if you’re willing to show up for the unglamorous parts of this growth process along the way.

Full Moon in Capricorn: Easy does it

On the days leading up to the Full Moon in Capricorn on July 10th, it might be tempting to judge the progress you’ve made over the past six months, especially with any goals you’ve been struggling to achieve. Capricorn isn’t the comfiest place for the Moon to be, so if you catch yourself getting unusually harsh or critical around this date, pause. Quit the mean self-talk, and stop holding yourself to impossible standards. If you’re kind and gentle with yourself, you’ll be more motivated to keep going, even when you lose faith in your efforts. Remember: Your worth is not defined by your productivity. Repeat that one more time.

Horoscopes for the Sun in Gemini, 2025

When the Sun moves through Gemini from May 20th to June 20th, attention spans shrink and browser tabs multiply. This Mercury-ruled air sign isn’t interested in getting to the bottom of a single topic. Instead, it prefers to flit between headlines, podcasts, and text threads for juicy bits of intel. Gemini is everyone’s favorite conversation partner, trivia teammate, and gossip girl — so bring on the hot takes and witty banter.

Just note: This hunger for more can lead to information overload. If Gemini doesn’t slow its exploration every now and then, it risks getting distracted and mixing up the facts. But when it pauses to deep-dive into one novel, news story, or work of art, its analysis and commentary are razor-sharp.

New Moon in Gemini: Brainstorms with a chance of clarity

The New Moon in Gemini on May 26th offers a blank slate for crafting blogs, research proposals, or other daily comms. It’s also a great opportunity to begin longer writing projects — or finally send those DMs you’ve drafted in your head. If you feel moved to make a major announcement, phrase your messages with care. There’s a fine art to telling it like it is. After a big reveal, a little honey (or a well-placed ♡) can help the medicine go down.

Full Moon in Sagittarius: Fortune favors the bold

Then there’s the Full Moon in Sagittarius on June 11th… Occurring just a couple of days after Jupiter (the ruler of Sagittarius) enters Cancer (the sign of Jupiter’s exaltation), this lunation is energetic and horizon-expanding. Jupiter is the planet of healing and good fortune, and it thrives in this fertile sign, so prepare for an extra helping of blessings this Full Moon. Soak up all the wisdom of the teachers, mentors, and trusted BFFs in your life. And take note of anything that spurs your adventurous spirit. Just avoid getting hung up on the small stuff. If you focus on the bigger picture, not the minor details, you’ll gain more traction in your quests. And if your itinerary, thesis statement, or five-year plan is still a work in progress, don’t fret. What matters is that you’re excited about where it’s going — and where it’s taking you.

Horoscopes for the Sun in Taurus, 2025

After a memorable (to put it lightly) Aries season, full of major initiations and pivots, the Sun’s arrival in Taurus softens the sharp edges of the past few weeks.

From April 19th to May 20th, Sol will be in the sign of the bull, offering us a balm that will help us digest and integrate everything we’ve just lived through. So ask yourself what you can do to stabilize your system and unwind more fully. Whether you eat a spoonful of honey from the jar, enjoy an offline afternoon, or actually stop to smell the flowers, soak up the pleasures that bring you peace of mind.

Taurus season teaches us that our bright ideas and initial sparks of excitement aren’t enough to make the changes we wish to see in the world. We must be willing to build, day in and day out, the foundational structures that will sustain lasting transformations. If we want to be awake to what’s happening, if we want our collective actions to make an impact, we need to be anchored in tangible reality. Manifesting our boldest visions requires tuning in to the creative potential that we can access in the here and now.

Get your ducks in a row: New Moon in Taurus

The New Moon in Taurus on April 27th is a bit of a pressure cooker. While New Moons are often generative times to plant seeds and set intentions, this one may be more agitating than most. This lunation could leave us feeling restless and unsettled, so tend to your needs accordingly. And if you’re craving a cathartic outlet for pent-up emotions, this is a great opportunity to get more involved in the grassroots movements that inspire you. Yet if you start to get caught up in power struggles that drain your precious energy, permit yourself to disengage. Remember that less can be more.

Moody with a side of drama: Full Moon in Scorpio

Not to be outdone, the Full Moon in Scorpio on May 12th is a potent one. Full Moons can stir up commotion and turbulence, and this one amps up the hubbub in the air as well as our big, broody moods. So buckle up and lie low. On the plus side, this lunation also offers some much-needed support for defusing any drama that’s been percolating. At its best, this Full Moon illuminates the people, places, and choices that help us regroup and stay grounded, no matter the plot twists.
