4 Zodiac Signs That Will Be Tested By The Universe In July 2025

The blank slate of a new year is encouraging, but for four signs of the zodiac, July 2025 marks the beginning of a test from the universe as Mars turns retrograde, setting the stage for a bumpy ride for cardinal signs.

The universe is testing these four signs to establish stability. The Full Moon in Cancer on July 13 gives us the opportunity to reflect on what Mars in Cancer is asking of us and how we can close some relevant chapters.

Four zodiac signs that will be tested by the universe in July 2025:

Aries

The shift in fate on July 11 brings with it some challenges. This is a month to meditate, reflect, and recharge.

Be sure to plan ahead and curb your impulsiveness when Mars enters Cancer on July 6.

Take things slow. The Full Moon in Cancer on July 13 will help you develop new steps to navigate the Mars transits.

Aquarius season begins on July 19th and supports you by amplifying your energy as you take control of your social circles.

Overall, July will be a time of new beginnings – but you will be forced to look back to avoid repeating the same mistakes.

Lion

The energy of the Mars and Pluto opposition at the beginning of the new year can seem exhausting and contradictory.

Mars exits your sign on July 6, which may feel uncomfortable, as you feel hampered in expressing yourself. You may prefer to keep everything bottled up.

Make sure you turn to trusted people during this time to recharge your batteries and do something fun together.

Finding positive outlets that help you cool down and release tension will be to your advantage.

Scale

The year begins with exalted Venus in Pisces, helping you develop and strengthen your current daily routine .

However, on July 6, 2025, Mars will turn retrograde in the sign of Cancer and will push boundaries and influence how you view your career goals in the coming months.

The transit will form a square to your sign, making it powerful and reminding you of the importance of finding balance between home and work. The universe is testing you, Libra, to find winning strategies.

The South Node will officially leave your sign on July 11, bringing you much-needed relief.

The full moon on July 13th brings insights and momentum to structure your current goals. You’re ready to act with much more knowledge. Plan accordingly and see how you can win.

You need to establish boundaries in your relationships. While it may be helpful to play the diplomat, Pluto is transforming the concept of love and friendships, and with the Sun’s entry into Aquarius on July 19, you’ll gain more confidence in your self-expression and embrace the new beginnings in this area.

Aquarius

The chaotic Mars and Pluto opposition at the beginning of the year will put you on the right path to work harder to expand your connections, especially in the professional field.

Focus on balance and peace with those around you during Mars retrograde.

Pluto allows you to access your visionary side, and while Venus in Pisces reveals your power from July 2nd, the lunar nodes entering Pisces and Virgo on July 11th could make you rethink your steps.

While the North Node in Pisces builds your confidence, the South Node in Virgo may cause you to reflect on the past. As long as you live in the here and now, you should navigate these waters calmly.

July may have its ups and downs , but don’t be discouraged. The month may bring surprises, but you’ll be revitalized and renew your sense of optimism with the sun’s entry into your sign on July 19th. You’ll become aware of your potential and ready to embark on this new journey.
