Horoscope For Today: Saturday, July 12, 2025

Fresh off the intense full moon in Capricorn, which forced us to reckon with the tension between our professional and domestic lives, we now find solace as the moon makes its way through holistic Aquarius, enabling us to see how we can integrate the multiple facets of our personalities and reach our highest potential—all for the greater good of humanity.

While this might seem like an immense, daunting task right now, thanks to Jupiter’s ingress into Cancer and the familial, tribal, and national pride that has stirred up around the globe, it is a necessary pivot from black-and-white thinking into a more hopeful and optimistic worldview.

The moon’s first major aspect of the day is a trine to Venus at 8° Gemini at 5:07 AM EST.

As dawn is breaking on the East Coast, there is likely to be a greater emphasis on love, money, and beauty. You may feel tempted to make a huge impulse purchase or significantly change your appearance. Additionally, this energy encourages dynamic communication between partners who are struggling to see eye-to-eye regarding their finances, love languages, or both.

At 11:17 AM, the moon squares off against Black Moon Lilith at 11° Scorpio, thrusting forth the power of unbridled female rage and emboldening truth seekers to look beyond the veil for information that remains hidden or secret.

If you’ve had a nagging feeling about a partner being untrustworthy, you might find some damning evidence on their phone today—not that I’m encouraging you to go snooping, of course. But technology is likely to play a role, as Aquarius rules all things social media. Scorpio, on the other hand, is the realm of the underworld and all things taboo.

3:45 PM brings an intensification of this frustration, with the addition of some serious ego: when the moon opposes Mercury at 14° Leo, emotionally driven outbursts are almost inevitable, especially if you feel as though your pride has been wounded.

We’re all likely to be a little bit on edge, but if you have a tendency to speak before thinking, this is the time to journal your emotions and purge yourself of the bitterness you’re feeling rather than projecting it onto a loved one.

Sometimes it’s okay to be a little dramatic, but drama for its own sake is not useful, and once you’ve spoken hurtful words you know you cannot take them back.

How can you expect today to roll out? Read on for a brief, generalized forecast—but keep in mind that you will gain the most accuracy by reading according to your rising sign, not your sun sign.

Aries

This morning, as the moon in your eleventh house forms a pleasant trine to Venus in your third, it’s easier to communicate your ideals and goals to your extended group of friends, and to achieve financial support from within your existing network. When the moon squares off against Black Moon Lilith in your eighth house, be wary of women who mishandle money or seek to gain something from your secrets. Keep alert to the “evil eye” and be cautious about sharing anything too personal unless you know you can fully trust your chosen confidante. This afternoon the moon’s opposition to Mercury in your fifth house intensifies your ego and desire to be heard, but you might end up saying some things that you wish you could take back.

Taurus

This morning, the moon in your tenth house trines Venus in your second, giving you the green light to move forward with a new project at work or side hustle that you feel emotionally passionate about. The moon’s square with Black Moon Lilith in your seventh house, fortunately, exposes naysayers and enemies pretty directly; you’ll know if someone doesn’t have your back. Expect some jealous and vindictive behavior from the women in your close circle, plus challenges with your partner, who may turn out to be threatened by your success rather than happy for you. This afternoon, when the moon opposes Mercury in your fourth house, you’d do well to listen to the guidance of your relatives, as they can bring you back down to earth and remind you of the reason you hustle so hard in the first place. Without a solid foundation at home, you have nothing.

Gemini

This morning brings a harmonious trine between the moon in your ninth house and Venus in your first, activating the courage of your convictions and giving you a platform to speak about what you value in the deepest part of your soul. Be careful of who you trust at work, though; later, when the moon squares off against Black Moon Lilith in your sixth house, you are likely to encounter a fair amount of pushback from people you have to see every day, especially women. If you suspect one of your coworkers is a frenemy in disguise, today might be the day the mask falls. When the moon comes into opposition with Mercury in your third house this afternoon, you can anticipate some challenges between your head and your heart—even if you’re expressing yourself authentically, the prideful prejudices of your local community may leave you feeling misunderstood.

Cancer

This morning’s fateful trine between the moon in your eighth house and Venus in your twelfth catalyzes your desire to isolate yourself and be alone with your partner or in some luxurious secluded space. When the moon later squares off against Black Moon Lilith in your fifth house, you can expect lots of pent-up psychological and sexual frustration to back itself known, but this isn’t the time to go searching the apps. You could wind up inciting the rage of a scorned, jealous ex, or being drawn into a taboo sexual scene that you’re not comfortable with. Later this afternoon, when the moon opposes Mercury in your second house, you’ll want to flex your wealth a little bit—but this is unlikely to make you many friends. It’s just going to make you seem tacky and egotistical.

Leo

This morning, as the moon in your seventh house comes into a happy trine with Venus in your eleventh, you are poised to meet an important person within your circle of friends—or take a flirtation with one of them to the next level. The moon’s square to Black Moon Lilith in your fourth house exposes the spite and resentment that certain women in your life have been holding towards each other. Be especially careful how you speak to your roommates and relatives, lest you become tangled in the web of drama yourself. This afternoon, the moon’s opposition to Mercury in your first house places you in the right place at the wrong time; you may feel especially empowered to speak your mind, but your partner—romantic or business—is going to be put off by your bluntness.

Virgo

This morning, the trine between the moon in your sixth house and Venus in your tenth house swings the door wide open for you professionally. The work that you have been doing dutifully in silence is now about to be celebrated on a public stage. When the moon squares off against Black Moon Lilith in your third house, envious female neighbors and extended family might come out of the woodwork to try to dissuade you from following your wildest dreams. Later, in the afternoon, the moon opposes Mercury in your twelfth house, so you might feel prone to seclusion. Go into hermit mode and journal your feelings rather than projecting them onto others.

Libra

This morning’s trine between the moon in your fifth house and Venus in your ninth gives you a creative and romantic boost of inspiration. Insights from the divine are within reach if you wish to create something beautiful. The moon’s square with Black Moon Lilith in your second house, however, complicates your money matters and encourages you to do an evaluation of the women you’re working alongside. Someone might not have your best interests at heart, and the last thing you need while putting your passion project into motion is a “friend” secretly praying on your downfall. Later, the moon’s opposition to Mercury in your eleventh house gives you the opportunity to speak your mind to a large group of people, but their personal ego-driven biases and judgments might prevent your words from getting through. They’re likely to be a tough crowd, but you’re nothing if not diplomatic.

Scorpio

This morning, as the moon in your fourth house comes into a peaceful trine with Venus in your eighth, you are blessed with financial, emotional, and psychological support from your family, who might be more willing than usual to part with their money on your behalf. You might get an out-of-the-blue gift, seemingly with no strings attached. But when the moon squares off against Black Moon Lilith in your first house, suddenly you’re your own worst enemy, reading secretive and manipulative ulterior motives into everything and radiating suspicion. Consider that the one who is untrustworthy in this scenario might actually be you. This afternoon, when the moon opposes Mercury in your tenth house, you should avoid the Internet at all costs, as you’ll almost certainly be tempted to blast your family drama for the world to see.

Sagittarius

This morning, the moon in your third house comes into a blissful trine with Venus in your seventh: the cosmic equivalent of a friend beta-reading your first flirtatious text before you hit Send. You’ve got the gift of seduction right now. Use it wisely. Later, when the moon squares Black Moon Lilith in your twelfth house, watch for sus behavior from your female neighbors, siblings, and cousins, all of whom might be watching you a little too closely for comfort just in case you slip up and say something wrong. They’re looking for reasons to cancel you right now, so the less ammo you give them, the better. On that note, this afternoon the moon comes into a hard opposition with Mercury in your ninth house, so you’ll probably want to stand up and fight for what you believe in—even if it means creating conflict in your relationships.

Capricorn

This morning’s trine between the moon in your second house and Venus in your sixth is beneficial for getting things done, but you might feel more motivated to spend money redecorating your home office than replying to emails. Later, the moon squares off against Black Moon Lilith in your eleventh house, delivering news from within your friend group that you might not like: somebody, somewhere, is stewing in their jealousy regarding your financial status, and may even feel entitled to some of your earnings. And this afternoon, when the moon opposes Mercury in your eighth house, someone might actually be bold enough to say something. If you haven’t been fairly paying your employees, or you just got a promotion over someone else who is technically more qualified, it may be a moment of necessary humility for you. While you shouldn’t feel as though you need to apologize for your success, you should also be compassionate enough to acknowledge any unearned privilege.

Aquarius

As the moon in your first house comes into a trine with Venus in your fifth this morning, you feel especially magnetic and look more captivating to romantic partners. It might seem tempting to put yourself out there, although later on, when the moon squares Black Moon Lilith in your tenth house, your reputation is precarious. Try to avoid being seen in public doing anything you wouldn’t willingly own up to—to your grandma, your priest, or all of your Instagram followers. This afternoon, the moon’s opposition to Mercury in your seventh house almost guarantees that any romantic or business partner in your midst is going to have more of an ego problem than usual. If they accuse you of something unfounded, try not to take it personally—unless you actually have been doing something shady, in which case you won’t really be able to avoid being exposed today, so you may as well just be honest.

Pisces

This morning, the moon in your twelfth house trines Venus in your fourth, providing the soft and cozy atmosphere necessary to create an at-home oasis for you and your loved ones. It’s a good day to unplug, lest you get dragged into drama from your academic, religious, or spiritual communities; later, when the moon squares off against Black Moon Lilith in your ninth house, you can expect lots of secrets and scandals. This afternoon, the moon comes into hard opposition with Mercury in your sixth house, demanding that you actually get some work done around the house—no matter how much you may wish to stay in bed and enjoy a lazy Saturday.
