Weekly Mundane Astrological Climate - Week of July 14 to 20, 202

Introduction

You can view global aspects for any day and time using the Transits application, in simple chart mode after unchecking angular aspects in the form. Positions and aspects are calculated from Monday to Sunday at 12:00 PM UT.

The orb for major planetary aspects is set at three degrees. For the True North Node and Lilith, true positions are used. Minor aspects are excluded from interpretation due to their limited influence.

Planetary aspects shape the global context, influencing politics, economics, and social trends. Lunar aspects are not included here, as their brevity makes them too fleeting for a weekly analysis.

The same applies to the North Node, Lilith, and Chiron, whose influence through aspects remains insufficiently demonstrated.

This is not a personal horoscope but a form of mundane astrology highlighting planetary influence on a collective scale.

The week of July 14 to 20, 2025 unfolds in a contrasting climate, blending the search for emotional stability with bursts of unexpected transformation. The fast-moving planets reflect tensions between lively diplomacy, shifting desires, and efforts at structuring, while the slow-moving ones continue their deep work on collective foundations and ideological frameworks.

The sky suggests a sustained dynamic of adaptation, where mental flexibility and organizational clarity are essential assets. In a world undergoing reconfiguration, initiatives that combine vision, method, and creativity are the most likely to lead to lasting and meaningful transformations.

Planetary Positions and Aspects – Short-Term

Planetary Positions – Fleeting Influences

  • The Sun, from 22°18' to 28°02' Cancer, continues to strengthen values tied to family, nation, and collective emotions. This transit heightens concerns about inner security, both personal and political. It also encourages introspection rooted in emotional depth, which may be difficult to channel and may amplify protectionist or identity-based tendencies.
  • Mercury, from 15°02' to 15°22'Я Leo, brings direct, brilliant, and often theatrical communication. The retrograde motion beginning at the end of the week calls for a reassessment of declarations or decisions made too impulsively. In political or media discourse, overconfidence may conceal logical flaws or result in public misunderstandings.
  • Venus, from 10°59' to 17°46' Gemini, supports lively and multifaceted social interactions, sometimes superficial but stimulating. In this mutable sign, it fosters agile diplomacy and heightened curiosity about unexpected alliances. However, its dissonance with Mars may also create conflicting interests or unease in sensitive negotiations.
  • The Moon, from 6°54' Pisces to 1°00' Gemini, moves through an emotionally charged sequence, crossing Aries and Taurus before reaching the early degrees of Gemini. This lunar dynamic strongly affects collective moods, which may shift between intuitive confusion, immediate reactions, and a craving for concrete stability. Popular sentiment could amplify existing tensions.

Planetary Aspects of the Week – Short-Term Climate

  • The Sun (Cancer) sextile Uranus (Gemini) favors innovative initiatives in areas related to family, nation, or housing. It may also trigger sudden insights or flashes of clarity in emotional contexts, encouraging more unconventional responses to collective security concerns.
  • The Sun (Cancer) trine retrograde Saturn (Aries) promotes constructive emotional stabilization and greater responsibility in political decision-making. This aspect supports efforts to bring structure to emotional chaos by encouraging cautious and lasting choices. It is particularly favorable to the consolidation of family, social, or administrative structures.
  • Venus (Gemini) square Mars (Virgo) creates noticeable tension between relational desire and the need for efficiency. Exchanges may appear charming on the surface but hide ulterior motives or deep incompatibilities. In diplomacy, this aspect suggests potential clashes between opposing styles, such as lightness versus rigor or flexibility versus precision.

Planetary Positions and Aspects – Longer-Term

Planetary Positions – Medium-Term Climate

  • Mars, from 15°42' to 19°18' Virgo, highlights a desire to act methodically, rigorously, and with precision. This transit values concrete initiatives, especially in areas related to public health, applied ecology, and technical administration. Martian energy in Virgo is discreet but persistent, focused on measurable results and the resolution of practical problems. It may generate perfectionist tension in collective organization or expose dysfunctions in established processes.
  • Jupiter, from 7°52' to 9°12' Cancer, amplifies tendencies toward protection, attachment to the past, and the need for national cohesion. This placement supports security-focused rhetoric and charitable initiatives, but may also foster defensive withdrawal. Jupiter in Cancer tends to exalt cultural identities and communal belonging, which can encourage generous social policies while also deepening divisions between groups.
  • Lilith, from 16°32' Scorpio to 2°07' Sagittarius, completes her journey through Scorpio’s depths, where she has exposed taboos, hidden power struggles, and marginal urges. In the final decan of Scorpio, she reveals with heightened intensity what has been silenced, buried, or feared, particularly in matters related to sexuality, secrecy, or collective manipulation. Her entry into Sagittarius, beginning July 18, signals a shift toward radical opinion and a craving for raw, sometimes provocative, truth. She challenges dominant narratives, questions dogma, and intensifies ideological opposition.

Planetary Positions – Long-Term Climate

  • Retrograde Saturn, from 1°56'Я to 1°53'Я Aries, continues to test the foundations of both individual and collective authority. In this pioneering sign, retrograde Saturn questions leadership impulses and requires a redefinition of what stems from personal initiative rather than arbitrary power. This results in a reassessment of command structures, military forces, or administrative frameworks attempting to reinvent themselves in a rapidly changing world.
  • Uranus, from 0°18' to 0°32' Gemini, begins its entry into the sign of communication, networks, and rapid thought. This very recent transition is felt as a subtle yet powerful shockwave. New technological paradigms are emerging, information systems are being restructured, and global exchanges are reorganizing around more fragmented and adaptive logics. Uranus in Gemini signals a cognitive shift shaped by the accelerated spread of disruptive ideas.
  • Retrograde Neptune, from 2°09'Я to 2°07'Я Aries, remains stationary and quietly influences the realm of collective ideals. In this fire sign, its retrograde motion makes it harder to distinguish inspired vision from dogmatic illusion. This influence acts like a persistent ideological fog, where utopia and propaganda, faith and fanaticism are easily confused. Yet for those who manage to grasp its essence, it can nourish a burning and committed intuition in service of a broader cause.
  • Retrograde Pluto, from 2°51'Я to 2°42'Я Aquarius, continues its long process of dismantling collective systems. Its influence profoundly transforms social, technological, or institutional structures that have reached their limits. In this forward-looking sign, retrograde Pluto reveals the dark side of progress, prompting reflection on algorithmic governance, the influence of networks, and emerging forms of impersonal power. It invites a radical rethinking of coexistence in the post-industrial age.
  • Chiron, from 27°03' to 27°07' Aries, continues to reveal wounds tied to self-assertion, individual courage, and the ability to act without violence. This transit highlights identity fractures in both nations and individuals, while also opening a path to healing through just, clear-sighted, and responsible action. It supports figures of active mediation and meaningful reparative gestures.
  • True North Node retrograde, from 19°46'Я to 19°42'Я Pisces, calls for a collective return to values of compassion, spirituality, and selfless service. This transit symbolizes an invitation to transcend divisions and to heed mystical or humanitarian impulses without yielding to escapism. It may also signal a moment when collective forces step back to better integrate a shared ideal that is less visible, yet more universal.

Long-Term Planetary Aspects – Enduring Trends

  • Retrograde Saturn (Aries) sextile Uranus (Gemini) embodies a rare synergy between order and innovation. This planetary combination provides fertile ground for patient yet bold reforms, where structure adapts without breaking and progress unfolds within realistic frameworks. Globally, it can support the implementation of innovative public policies or the modernization of long-standing institutions, provided internal tensions are balanced by a drive for coherence.
  • Retrograde Saturn (Aries) conjunct retrograde Neptune (Aries) marks a moment of crystallization between spiritual aspiration and the demand for reality. This aspect urges the embodiment of lofty ideals in tangible projects, giving form to ethical or mystical visions through concrete commitments. It may signal the emergence of charismatic leaders driven by a collective mission or the creation of social structures rich in symbolic meaning, though it calls for caution against seductive illusions or rigid utopias.
  • Retrograde Saturn (Aries) sextile retrograde Pluto (Aquarius) supports deep but well-structured transformations in power systems. It anchors collective change in solid foundations, combining strategic insight with constructive patience. This climate fosters lasting institutional reforms, the overhaul of governance mechanisms, and the development of new social norms that meet the demands of the contemporary world.
  • Uranus (Gemini) sextile retrograde Neptune (Aries) blends the pursuit of inspiration with the drive for progress. It creates favorable conditions for meaningful technological advances and the connection between collective intuition and practical innovation. This configuration encourages bridges between science and spirituality, digital networks and human consciousness, idealism and social efficiency. It carries the seeds of new approaches to solidarity and education in the digital age.
  • Uranus (Gemini) trine retrograde Pluto (Aquarius) activates a powerful dynamic of societal regeneration. This is an aspect of quiet yet determined revolution, where change naturally asserts itself in areas such as technology, shared governance, or public infrastructure. It emphasizes the transformation of communication systems, the rise of new collective intelligences, and the deep questioning of established paradigms.
  • Retrograde Neptune (Aries) sextile retrograde Pluto (Aquarius) works deeply on the collective unconscious. This subtle undercurrent fosters the emergence of new worldviews, often gently diverging from earlier models. It supports a shift in shared beliefs, a symbolic renewal of political or spiritual ideals, and a gradual transformation of the invisible structures that underpin societies. The long-term movements it initiates may remain unnoticed for a time before reshaping the collective imagination at its core.
