July is a month of cosmic momentum, and if you’ve been waiting for a universal green light to align your manifestations with the stars, this is it.

Astrology and manifestation are powerful partners, when you know how to work with planetary energy, you can set intentions with divine timing on your side.

Whether you’re calling in love, abundance, clarity or confidence, let’s explore how the planetary movements of July 2025 can help you manifest more intentionally and intuitively.

Why Manifesting with Astrology Works

Each planet rules a specific area of life, from love (Venus) to ambition (Mars) to communication (Mercury).

As they move through the zodiac signs, their energetic influence shifts, offering us windows of opportunity to align our actions with cosmic rhythms.

Manifesting with astrology means:

Setting intentions when the energy is naturally supportive
Avoiding resistance or delays by working with, not against, the cosmos
Infusing your rituals with deeper purpose, clarity and flow

Now, let’s look at what astrology July 2025 is serving up.

July 2025 Planetary Highlights

☀️ Sun in Cancer → Leo (22 July)

The Sun starts the month in Cancer, nurturing your inner world, home life, and emotional intentions. Then it shifts into Leo on 22 July, turning up the volume on confidence, joy and bold expression.

Manifestation themes:

First half of July: emotional healing, home, intuition, self-care
Second half: courage, self-worth, visibility, passion projects

Manifesting Tip: Set intentions aligned with your emotional needs before Leo season hits. Then use Leo's fire to take brave action.

🌑 New Moon in Cancer – 4 July 2025

This dreamy New Moon is deeply emotional and ideal for planting intentions rooted in safety, intuition, and heart-led desires.

Ritual Idea: Write your manifestation list in water-safe ink and place it under a bowl of moon water overnight. Let your dreams be blessed by lunar energy.

Focus your intentions on:

Emotional security
Strengthening bonds
Creating a sacred home or space

🌕 Full Moon in Capricorn – 20 July 2025

This practical, earthy Full Moon brings powerful closing energy. It's ideal for releasing fears around success, structure, and self-discipline, and for celebrating real-world progress.

Manifestation support:

Let go of fear of failure or burnout
Honour your long-term goals and achievements
Get clear on what systems or habits no longer serve you

Full Moon Practice: Write down limiting beliefs around work, money, or ambition, then safely burn or bury them to symbolise release.

🌀 Mercury in Leo (from 11 July)

Mercury moves into confident, expressive Leo, making it the perfect time for speaking your desires into existence. Affirmations, scripting, and spoken intentions are especially powerful now.

Manifestation tip: Record a voice note of your July intentions and play it back daily. Let your voice carry your vibration into reality.

💕 Venus in Virgo (entire month)

Venus in Virgo asks us to refine what we value, especially in love, money, and beauty. This energy is about choosing quality over quantity, and finding beauty in the details.

Manifest with Venus by:

Re-evaluating financial habits
Decluttering relationships or spaces that no longer serve you
Practising self-love through routine, nourishment, and boundaries

🔥 Mars in Gemini (all month)

Mars in Gemini fuels fast thinking, playful action, and idea-driven momentum. This is the time to act on intuitive nudges and explore multiple pathways to your goals.

Best manifestation strategies with Mars in Gemini:

Vision boarding
Journalling multiple possibilities
Taking small steps in many directions, see what sticks!
