Daily Horoscope: Moon Transiting Aries, July 17, 2025

Moon transiting Aries, Thursday, July 17th, activates a heart awakening and a resurrection of love (especially self-love) through the overcoming of fear or the release of past pain or loss as the moon conjunct Chiron in Aries forms a T-square aspect pattern with Pluto retrograde in Aquarius and the sun in Cancer, as well as a trine aspect with Mercury in Leo, which is sextile to Venus in Gemini. Pluto and the sun opposing each other in that T-square also hold the positions of the tips of the wings in a Cradle/Angel Wings aspect pattern drawing in the combined energy of the sun in Cancer, Pluto in Aquarius, Saturn and Neptune both retrograde in Aries, and Uranus in Gemini, assisting you to rise like a phoenix from the ashes of your past to change and transform your present and future. Courage and fortitude are easy to access today, and as you gain clarity, set your intentions, and take actions, the cardinal fire Aries moon will move things along quickly. Late tonight, Mercury in Leo will go retrograde, but that doesn’t mean you have to stop, drop, and roll. When planets retrograde, they call for you to spend more time with them in whatever house, aka, area of life they are visiting in your natal chart. Mercury retrograde in Leo from July 17th to August 11th can be an excellent time to return to love, passion, courage, and creativity – you might discover a hopeful spark in the ashes and embers which you can fan to a flame.
