Horoscope For Today: Saturday, July 19, 2025

The day begins with the moon in steady Taurus, but at 1:26 AM EST la lune forms an exact opposite with Black Moon Lilith at 12° Scorpio, a designated time for the collective to focus more intensely on the tension between women’s emotional, psychological, and material fulfillment, and the increasing expectation for their sexual and emotional availability.

At 6:07 AM, the moon squares off against retrograde Mercury at 15° Leo, encouraging us to speak up about the Taurean themes that matter to us—security, stability, finances, luxury, and land ownership—in a potentially dramatic and overly prideful manner.

With the messenger planet retrograde, it’s pretty much a given that some of us will be misunderstood, so weigh your words very carefully and do not let your ego lead the way this morning.

At 11:36 AM, a brief reprieve comes in the form of a trine between the moon and Mars at 18° Virgo. This pleasant aspect between two planets in earth signs suggests a more strategic and rational approach will guide us to make important decisions—without getting too overwhelmed by our emotions in the process.

While Taurus can be lazy, Virgo is sure to get the job done; this is an excellent time to lock in and complete any tasks you’ve been putting off. Additionally, it’s a promising time for anyone who’s on a new health or fitness kick, since the collective will be more conscientious of our overall well-being.

This afternoon, at 3:12 PM, the moon will also make a sextile to the North Node at 20° Pisces, enabling us to integrate our psychological and spiritual practices into our physical embodiment in new and refreshing ways. This is an important time to gain clarity about how your physiological state is influencing your psyche and vice versa.

If you know your rising sign, rather than your sun sign, you can rely on the following generalized forecast for an idea of how things are likely to play out in your own life today. Good luck!

Aries

In the early hours of the morning the moon in your second house faces off in an intense opposition with Black Moon Lilith in your eighth, providing fertile ground for you to uncover information about your partner’s sexuality and psychological state, plus any resources you might share. Later, when the moon squares off against retrograde Mercury in your fifth house, the conversation turns to kids, casual flings, and how to integrate more pleasure and luxury into your day-to-day. If you make any prideful promises at this time, however, they might not stick—this is the nature of Mercury retrograde, after all. Shortly before noon, the trine between the moon and Mars in your sixth house motivates your inner workaholic, while this afternoon’s moon-North Node sextile—with the latter in your twelfth house—encourages you to indulge your spiritual side a bit more, infusing your workspace with an esoteric atmosphere that is good for the mind, body, and soul.

Taurus

Early this morning, the moon in your first house comes into an opposition with Black Moon Lilith in your seventh, provoking conflict with your closest friend or partner as one or both of you feels resentful or bitter or some existing relationship dynamic. It’s not until later, when the moon squares off against retrograde Mercury in your fourth house, that you are likely to have a conversation about it—and while it’s better than allowing your anger to quietly simmer, anything you say right now is going to be fuelled by ego and you are more prone to saying things you don’t mean. There is no way to take back your words once they’re out there, so be mindful of your partner’s feelings. Before noon, the moon and Mars come into a pleasant trine, with the latter situated in your fifth house, encouraging a blend of emotional responsivity and assertive action. This is makeup sex energy. Plus, this afternoon’s sextile between the moon and the North Node, which is currently transiting your eleventh house, promises breakthroughs regarding your individuality within your larger social network.

Gemini

In the early morning hours, the moon in your twelfth house clashes in opposition with Black Moon Lilith in your sixth, shedding light on the dark and toxic aspects of your current health and work regime. If you have secret haters at work, you may feel inclined to isolate rather than react, playing the avoidant card. This might be the best idea for everyone involved, since there is a square-off between the moon and retrograde Mercury in your third house later on, giving you a prideful, cutting edge. It’s probably better to say nothing at all and let this all blow over. Right before noon, the moon comes into a nice trine with Mars in your fourth house, giving you the perfect opportunity to “clean house” literally and figuratively, by removing any items that trigger uncomfortable memories from your physical environment. And then there’s the sextile between the moon and the North Node, currently in your tenth house, encouraging you to take some aspects of your pain public. You might not feel ready, but you’re being called to commit a radical act of vulnerability.

Cancer

Early this morning, the moon in your eleventh house comes into an opposition with Black Moon Lilith in your fifth, giving you the go-ahead to send a risky text to a friend you’ve been casually flirting with. The fun, harmless texts might suddenly take a more intense and powerful turn. It’s up to you whether you choose to get pulled all the way into this person’s mysterious world. Then, later, the moon squares off against retrograde Mercury in your second house, killing the vibe a bit by forcing you to talk money with your friends, colleagues, and industry peers. It never hurts to compare notes and be transparent about finances, even if it’s not the most comfortable thing in the world. Before noon, the moon neatly trines Mars in your third house, giving you the courage to take action and pick up others’ slack. Later, the moon sextiles the North Node in your ninth house, placing you in the right place at the right time to have a potentially transformative conversation about your religious, spiritual, and ideological beliefs with people of like mind.

Leo

The day begins with the moon in your tenth house directly opposing Black Moon Lilith in your fourth, indicating pretty severe conflict between your two sides: the one who gains emotional fulfillment from the limelight and the one who prefers to stay in on a Saturday night. Toxic family dynamics might come to light right now, with relatives and roommates who are envious of your success suddenly exposing their true intentions. Later on, the moon’s square-off with retrograde Mercury in your first house puts you in the hot seat, but it’s not exactly advisable to go off-script right now, no matter how much you might want to. However diplomatically your message is framed, there are those who will misunderstand. Late this morning, the moon’s comfortable trine to Mars in your second house brings a possible money-making opportunity that could give you a lot of public recognition—and the moon’s sextile to the North Node in your eighth house suggests you might be able to negotiate some large-scale deals that keep you secure and stable for a long time into the future.

Virgo

With the moon in your ninth house this morning coming into harsh opposition with Black Moon Lilith in your third, you can anticipate toxic and jealous energy from your siblings, neighbors, and other women you see every day—even as you find deep emotional satisfaction within your own spiritual, religious, or academic path. Pay no heed to their vindictive actions but be wary of the so-called “evil eye,” celebrating your successes in private rather than giving every single one of your Instagram followers access to the best parts of your life. Later, when the moon squares off against retrograde Mercury in your twelfth house, you feel the desire to go into hermit mode and cloister yourself away to study esoterica. Be cautious of what information you accept as fact during this time, since Mercury retrograde always distorts our perception. Around midday, the moon comes into a happy trine with Mars in your first house, giving you the physical and mental stamina to see a project through to the end; the moon’s sextile to the North Node in your seventh house enables you to open your heart to creative and spiritual partnership.

Libra

The day breaks with the moon in your eighth house, and its hard opposition with Black Moon Lilith in your second brings challenges to your financial sector. If you’ve been avoiding a money matter that you know you need to deal with, or you’ve been making your income in a less-than-ethical way, this might be the wakeup call you need to get your shit together. Some time later, the moon squares retrograde Mercury in your eleventh house, meaning that people—colleagues, acquaintances, and professional peers—might suddenly have a lot to say regarding your financial situation, but be cautious of any advice you receive, no matter how well-meaning. Right now, people in your outer sphere are more egotistical than you might expect, and may not have your best interests at heart. Right before noon, the moon’s harmonious trine with Mars in your twelfth house energizes you to take some strategic actions to improve your situation—all behind the scenes. Then there’s the sextile between the moon and the North Node, currently transiting your sixth house and promising a fated new path forward in your process of spiritual integration. It’s time to start relying on your intuition more, even in high-stakes work situations.

Scorpio

Early this morning, the moon in your seventh house forms a hard opposition with Black Moon Lilith in your first, reflecting tension between yourself and your closest partner. While you’ve been wearing a mysterious, alluring mask and amplifying your Scorpionic potential, they’ve been wondering where their soft and sensitive lover disappeared to. Drop the veil and try to be more vulnerable, trusting that your person is going to have your back no matter what. Later on, when the moon squares off against retrograde Mercury in your tenth house, you can expect to be given a platform of some kind of authority—but you’ll have to weigh your words carefully and avoid coming on too strong, lest your message be scrutinized. Try to use more “we” than “I” statements, showing that you are less ego-driven than others. Shortly before midday, the moon trines Mars in your eleventh house, energizing you within a crowd; later, the moon’s sextile to the North Node in your fifth house makes you more attractive to potential romantic partners.

Sagittarius

In the early morning hours, the moon in your sixth house comes into a tight opposition with Black Moon Lilith in your twelfth, forcing you to reckon with your physical and psychological health—particularly how they are both influencing one another. It’s a good time to drive home the idea that you are a holistic being, not a series of self-sustaining parts. Your mind must be healthy in order for your body to work well, and vice versa. Some time later, the moon’s square-off with retrograde Mercury in your ninth house reflects awkward conversations about the off-limits topics at work: religion and politics. Whatever you say around this time is likely to be misinterpreted or taken out of context, so it’s better to say as little as possible. Not long before noon, the moon’s encouraging trine to Mars in your tenth house gives you a competitive edge and places you in the position to take on more challenging leadership roles at work. Plus, there’s the sextile between the moon and the North Node, which is currently making its way through your fourth house; it’s time to find some healthier work-life balance and integrate healthy spiritual practices into your daily life, lest you become overworked and overwhelmed.

Capricorn

Early this morning, as the moon in your fifth house harshly opposes Black Moon Lilith in your eleventh, you may find that your current secret fling gets exposed by someone within your inner circle—or someone you thought was a friend might start outright trying to homewreck your relationship. Be very cautious of who you reveal any personal information to and just try to enjoy the creative, romantic vibe that you and your person have cultivated for yourselves. Later, when the moon squares off with retrograde Mercury in your eighth house, you’ll feel excited to talk about deeper subject matter with your partner, including the possibility of putting your creative heads together to design something beautiful. Or you could start talking about having kids, if you’re at that stage in life. Just be wary of getting ahead of yourself—and trust that your person might be a little extra impulsive and dramatic today. Try not to make any promises to each other that you wish you could take back once Mercury is direct. Shortly before midday, the moon comes into a warm trine with Mars in your ninth house and activates your practical side, as you share artistic and spiritual rituals with your closest loved ones. Then comes the moon-North Node sextile. The latter is currently holding court in your third house, so you are likely to find some divine inspiration right in your own backyard. Get outside and do the most radical act of the modern age: talk to your neighbors.

Aquarius

The day kicks off bright and early with the moon in your fourth house in sharp opposition to Black Moon Lilith in your tenth. While you’ll be content to enjoy the comforts of home, the opinions of others in the public sphere will undoubtedly infiltrate your safe space and potentially put a target on your back. If you’ve been keeping your side of the street clean, you have nothing to worry about. If you do have scandals coming to light, do your best to disengage and neutralize them before they get out of hand. This is especially true in light of the moon’s square with retrograde Mercury, which falls in your seventh house; anything you or your partner tries to say is likely to be distorted to the point that context and nuance are completely lost. Apologize and own up to your mistakes if you must, but don’t placate a crowd determined to cancel you. You’re playing a losing game. The energy significantly shifts around noon, anyway, with the moon’s peaceable trine to Mars in your eighth house, giving you a boost of confidence to take practical action—especially when it comes to your debts, literal and karmic, and your latest side hustle. The sextile between the moon and the North Node, currently in your second house, represents a path forward and fated opportunities to increase your earning potential.

Pisces

With an early-morning moon in your third house opposing Black Moon Lilith in your ninth, you can expect to feel outcasted and scapegoated by your spiritual, religious, academic, or cultural community. If you’re out of step with the larger organizations, you can take a step back and focus on smaller community efforts; your service in this way will be more effective. When the moon later forms a square with retrograde Mercury in your sixth house, you’ll feel fired up about communicating new ideas at work, but your coworkers are probably going to be less than receptive, as there’s an undercurrent of ego complicating every conversation around the water cooler today. Even the most innocuous things may seem to trigger people. Right before midday, though, the moon comes into a more harmonious trine with Mars in your seventh house, giving you the confidence and mental fortitude to formulate a strategic and rational plan forward, with either a business or romantic partner. Then there’s the sextile between the moon and the North Node in your first house, totally transforming your identity as you learn to communicate your spiritual and creative values in a new way.
