The new moon in July 2025 is opposite Pluto. So, the spiritual meaning of the new moon in July 2025 astrology is letting go of the need to be in control. To be willing to change and transform, evolving your soul to live a better life and experience greater satisfaction.
However, this harsh Pluto aspect can lead to internal or external battles, resulting in low self-esteem and a crisis of confidence. Thankfully, the July 2025 new moon in good aspect to the Saturn-Neptune conjunction enables you to solve problems and overcome hardship with endurance and determination.
New Moon July 2025 Astrology
The new moon on July 24, 2025, is at 02°08′ Leo. The most significant planetary influence comes from the opposition to Pluto. Next is a trine to Saturn-Neptune, then the sextile to Uranus. With so much going on, I will focus only on the tightest new moon aspects, specifically those to Saturn-Neptune and Pluto.
New Moon July 2025 Meaning
Sun conjunct Moon represents cyclic renewal as a new 28-day moon phase begins. You can draw a line under the past, turn over a new leaf, and start fresh. You can also question old habits, behaviors, and beliefs as you search for creative and inventive new ways to grow and prosper.
The monthly alignment of the Sun and Moon reconciles your conscious ego and subconscious feelings, providing balance, focus, and perspective. It gives a rejuvenating burst of energy, initiative, and enthusiasm. The new moon is an excellent time for defining your priorities and setting ambitious goals.
Pluto Increasing in Power
The previous three new moons have aspected Pluto. The aspect orb is decreasing, culminating with the July 24 new moon opposite Pluto (0°27′). In the list below, I have listed just a few events from one current conflict zone.
April 27 New Moon square Pluto (3°58′) – Victimization.
- April 27, at least 51 Palestinians were killed by Israeli airstrikes across the Gaza Strip in the past 24 hours, bringing the official death toll to 52,243 throughout the war. [1]
- May 7, UN experts warn Israel’s actions may amount to “annihilation” of Gaza’s population. Israel launches broader Gaza offensive to seize land and relocate civilians. [2]
May 26 New Moon trine Pluto (2°23′) – Powerful Messages.
- May 26, Israeli attacks kill at least 52 Palestinians in Gaza, including 36 in a school used as a shelter. [3]
- June 10, the UN Security Council passes Resolution 2735: Demands ceasefire, hostage release, humanitarian access, and Israeli withdrawal. [2]
June 25 New Moon quincunx Pluto (0°52′) – Destruction or Evolution.
- June 25, Israeli forces kill at least 78 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, with at least 14 who were seeking humanitarian aid. [4]
- July 9, Major Israeli raids in Tulkarm and Nur Shams displace 40,000 Palestinians. [2]
July 24 New Moon opposite Pluto (0°27′) – Ultimatums.
New Moon July 2025 Opposite Pluto
New Moon opposite Pluto gives a compulsive urge to assert your power and authority and take control of your life. However, contradictions and an inability to overcome weaknesses can lead to an internal battle with your dark side, resulting in low self-esteem and a crisis of confidence. This may involve obsessions, stubbornness, addiction, or crime.
Attempting to assert your will can lead to an external battle with ruthless competitors and adversaries. You may experience manipulation, ruthlessness, threats, intimidation, jealousy, spying, interference, domination, theft, or physical, psychological or sexual abuse.
Events that appear to be out of your control may force you to make a substantial change in your behavior or beliefs. If you do face hardship, blockage, crises or conflict, it is essential not to be overly assertive, egotistic, or resistant to change. Realize that you don’t need total control over others or your environment.
Examining your psychology, exposing deeply buried trauma, uncovering the truth, and being willing to change can lead to personal mastery. The aim is to transform for the better, evolving your soul to live a better life and experience greater satisfaction.
New Moon trine Saturn-Pluto
Sun trine Saturn and Neptune brings inner balance, confidence, and faith in yourself. It inspires ambition and determination to achieve your long-term goals. Professional advancement, material gain, stability and security are possible without sacrificing your moral and ethical values.
Relationships can improve through mutual respect and a deeper spiritual connection, and intimate relationships will become more tender and loving. Increased sensitivity and empathy can give a more profound understanding of your place in the world. You may realize that achieving your goals and dreams is essential before you can help others.
Spiritual guidance may come from elders, or you could offer sensitive support to a younger person. This is an excellent new moon to start a meditation routine or explore practical applications for your spiritual beliefs or philanthropy. Valuable knowledge may even come from your dreams. Enhanced imagination can lead to practical benefits.
Pluto sextile Saturn-Neptune
Pluto sextile Saturn and Neptune helps you overcome hardship with endurance and determination. You can harness all your inner power to succeed in the most challenging tasks. Achievement and success are possible through your ability to stay focused, driven and efficient. Your tremendous work ethic makes you highly productive, making professional recognition and advancement possible.
A pioneering spirit makes you unafraid to challenge the accepted way of thinking and doing things. Your higher thought processes strive for order in chaos and simplicity in complexity. You can envision a more humanitarian approach and a shared responsibility for the welfare of everyone and everything, a collective dream.
Saturn conjunct Neptune
Saturn conjunct Neptune is generally associated with insecurity, confusion, self-doubt, fear and guilt. However, these planets are trine the new moon and sextile Pluto, allowing Saturn to materialize the more spiritual and idealistic nature of Neptune. This means you can make your dreams come true with hard work and a sensible, realistic approach.
You will understand your limitations while remaining optimistic. Spiritual wisdom cultivates patience and self-discipline, enabling you to prioritize long-term success over short-term gratification. Self-reflection, dreams, and meditation can help you integrate your spiritual life into your everyday life.
However, Saturn and Neptune align with fixed star Deneb Kaitos at 02°56′ Aries. It causes self-destruction by brute force, sickness, disgrace, misfortune and compulsory change. [5] Deneb Kaitos imparts selfishness, self-centeredness, melancholy, poverty, impulsiveness, idleness, and a self-driven, harsh, cruel and vindictive nature. [6] It is associated with inhibitions and restraint in every way, psychologically and physically. [7]
Easy Opposition
An Easy Opposition, technically, a Single Ambivalence aspect pattern, creates an ambivalent attitude, a dualistic world outlook, and a tendency to think in black-and-white terms. A sometimes absolutist either/or attitude can lead to arguments. [8]
Ambivalence is expressed in the two colors. The new moon opposite Pluto is marked by tension, pressure, and conflict. Saturn conjunct Neptune forms a third pole to the opposition, indicating a kind of switch point in the correct management of the ambivalent energies. It suggests an ideal world, where you see only beauty and goodness, and tension is swiftly dispatched.
Living mostly with Saturn-Neptune allows you to enjoy life. It is relatively easy to diffuse the opposition tension along the blue aspects. Saturn-Neptune enables a freer view of things, thus making the opposition more bearable.
However, seeking comfort and pleasure by only expressing Saturn-Neptune makes you unable to deal with conflict. And reverting to Saturn-Neptune when tension occurs means you are running away from your problems. The new moon opposite Pluto will always catch up with you if you ignore it. The intense inner restlessness would suddenly take over and embroil you in problems again.
The key to enjoying life and also being successful is to proactively use Saturn-Neptune to solve problems as soon as they arise. This not only relieves tension but also gives a sense of balance and direction. The skills and determination provided by this aspect pattern can then lead to outstanding achievements.
New Moon July 2025 in The Crab
The July 2025 new moon is in the Sign of Leo. But because of the precession of the equinoxes, it is in the Constellation Cancer.
Well-aspected, a New Moon in the Constellation Cancer gives strong feelings, sensitivity, compassion, sympathy, idealism, self-reliance, industriousness, devotion to family and country, maternal instincts, and a desire for comfort, quiet and solitude.
Harshly aspected, a New Moon in the Constellation Cancer gives restlessness, over-sensitivity, moodiness, sulleness, eccentricity, impulsiveness, selfishness, a lack of enterprise and a tendency to drift along. It can make you directionless, timid, touchy, overly emotional, and clingy.
The July 2025 New Moon is situated between two stars in the Constellation Cancer. Zeta Cancri is named Tegmine, a Latin word meaning “covering, or shell.”
The closer star, Lambda Cancri, is named Piautos, meaning “the Eye”, from a Coptic lunar asterism. Piautos has a B9 spectrum, indicating a Jupiter-Venus nature.
- 01♌41 – Zeta Cancri, Tegmine
- 02♌08 – New Moon July 2025
- 02♌10 – Lambda Cancri, Piautos.
Jupiter-Venus brings contentment, happiness, honor, a philosophical mind, legal or ecclesiastical preferment, and assistance through women. [5]
Spectral class B indicates a fondness for power, great authority, the ability to command, martial honors, kingly preferment, victory over enemies, liberality, and cosmopolitan views. High honors, wealth, and renown are possible. It also suggests a higher spiritual nature, but few can respond to it. [6]
New Moon July 2025 Spiritual Meaning
The July 2025 new moon astrology represents a culmination of three months of Plutonian New Moons. The July 24 New Moon opposite Pluto is the most intense, with the opposition being the strongest of the aspects, and the aspect orb being the tightest.
The Pluto opposition creates a compulsive urge to assert your power and authority and take control of your life. However, an internal or external battle can result in low self-esteem and a crisis of confidence.
Thankfully, harmonious aspects to Saturn conjunct Neptune enable you to solve problems as soon as they arise and overcome hardship with endurance and determination.
The battle between the New Moon and Pluto can be viewed in mundane astrology as a conflict between individuals and global powers. The Sun conjunct Moon is all the good, honest and caring in humanity. Pluto represents the plutocrats: oligarchies and their global corporations, world leaders, and ultimately, Donald Trump.
Pluto also rules the abuse of power, the arms industry, dictators, torture, rape, murder, racial superiority, ethnic cleansing, genocide, and world wars. In Constellation Cancer, this New Moon increases the risk of selfishness, impulsiveness, nationalism and racism.
Using the example of the war in Gaza, humanity’s (New Moon) dissolution and despair at the continuing slaughter of starving people lining up for food manifests through Satun conjunct Neptune. This, in turn, is influencing Donald Trump (Pluto). Perhaps he will present an ultimatum to Israel, threatening to stop funding the war if the killing continues.
Of even greater significance is the war in Ukraine. It is less likely that ultimatums will be effective with Vladimir Putin; I doubt they are meant to be.
Moon Phases
The influence of the July 24 new moon lasts four weeks up to the August 23 new moon. The best time for starting new projects is during the two-week waxing moon phase from July 24 to the August 9 Full Moon.

Neptune-Mars trine Saturn-Pluto would stir up the animal spirit of a person, and extravagant public participation, especially Neptune trine Pluto. Not quite the same as 2020, but for instance 1212 is a deep state Greta, and Trudeau and other operatives looting the Artwork. 1212 also helps understand the Freedom Convoy.

Moon i n Scorpio, security through desire, so a cautionary tale to start August. USA and Canada politicians compromised, will we see a Hungary 1956 repeat?
Well, what can i say Paul ? Our “leaders” are liars – it did NOT CHANGE. Merz, von der Leyen, Trump, Putin, Xi….. They all are Plutocrats or dictators. It fits petfectly to the Pluto-theme and also to Saturn-Neptune. Also Saturn-Pluto before.
Neptune in his worst manifestationens isn’t better than Pluto’s.
If you think only Saturn is the main culprit you are totally wrong, but he CAN be also.
The outer planets can be even more devastating.
And if you would have seen Hitlers horoscope before he came to power some may have him as a possible great liberator cuz of his Uranus round his ascendant.
Only have my Uranus at 29Leo57r, and it’s been noted by others on this forum regarding its rarity, and before that its meaning. It’s square mundane Uranus now, and affected by Mercury Rx. A fog of Whales.
Feeling irritation for unknown reason. I could wait forvenergy to pass but I suppose that would be a wasted opportunity. Feelingvjust is. No apparent reason. Time to down under again. Takes time. Got life to do.
Big summer flies that want to sit on me. They are irritating. Maybe the messengers. 🤣
The fly thing. Two big buzzers that move fast. They would land on my upper arm. What up with that? Oh yeah I injured upper arm over a month ago. Slow recovery. Med student told me to stretch it because of lactic acid buildup in injured muscles. Sure enough, read that flies are attracted to lactic acid. Sets off their sweet neurons. Seems magical but just science.
The only ultimatum so far is from nature. If I let those invasive weeds seed, there will be consequences and more takeover and more work next year. I dislike monocultures. And those invasive species take over and knock everything else out.
Or perhaps Iran will take the Middle East problem into it’s own hands and end the Zionists regime.
Sticky business. Israel is the only U.S. foothold in the Mideast?
Ah really vic? I thnk it is the other way around – Israel and the jewish high finance are the REAL leaders in “your” land of the “free”. And also Trump must do what THEY want. Only think of THEIR private bankers have founded “your” FED in 1913.
“Your” USA is a private company even since 1871 and same in “Germany” since 1990. We are slaves of THEIR companies wich they call “souvereign states”.
We are property of THEM.
Correct me if i am wrong…
All that is not the work of nature but the zionist high finance.
I have a Telegram link here for underlining what i wrote:
https://t.me/+ULOaAfEI4elTPRmc
It is NO neo-nazi propaganda – inform yrselves…
Why do they actually care about the land space called “Israel”? These ‘Zionist’s’ aren’t actually housed there, or are they? Or is it just a front? Like a phoney mafioso businesses that use store fronts?
Vic,
you know the jews were allowed to go back to their unholy land by the UNO, the British Empire and the USA after Hitler s holocaust and after 2000 years when they were driven out by the roman empire cuz they were always rebellious.
The romans didn’t make a fuzz so the destroyed their temple too.
They didn’t tolerate any resistance if you were against them then they throwed you before the lions in their colosseum In Rome.
And Jerusalem shurely is THAT centre of zionism cuz of David’s and Salamos temples and cuz of their godfathers Abraham and Moses.
And their godfathers are also the godfathers in christian and muslim religion too.
Jesus was more of some kind of rebel inside the jewish community i think. Christianity is only a mystification of that jewish rebel in my eyes BUT he truly brought some new thoughts i. e. forgiveness instead of revenge which not common with classic judaism AND paganism too.
The idea of forgiveness was and is a very kern and revolutionary thing. This could prevent mankind from destroying itself by stopping the everlasting circle of revenge..
Klaus, the Christ teachings are so much about forgiveness. It’s more about don’t be a jerk a-hole. Do unto others and all that.
However he is quoted as saying forgive them father for they know not what they do. Thank you nun school. 🤣
There is air space betwen revenge and forgiveness. To me forgiveness can amount to giving some one permission to do the same thing again.
And that would make all of us shareholders instead of citizens as we all pay taxes in and we get to vote the head of the board out. Ick, reducing everything to $$$$. 🤮
I guess then I would have to say I don’t like my company’s current policy toward its shareholders. No returns on investment.
I did a gruelling business management certificate program. A business starts with a mission statement that does not include money. Like what is the purpose, the function the company provides. How does it serve?
What is the purpose of the u.s. government?
The purpose is expressed in the preamble to the Constitution: “We the People of the United States in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.“
I guess general Welfare has switched to elitist Welfare?
Ah Vic – we have nothing to vote and it doesn’t realky change the background of people ruling.
But they tell us “go voting” and this is the trick of the system.
If you are a left winger: has the “good jew” Noam Chomsky changed anything ?
Has yr left wing icon Bernie Sanders ?
And to the right wingers: Is Trump the liberator from deep state he pretended to be ? Why did he support the Q-Anon Myth if he was the best friend of Jeffrey Epstein for 10 years ?
And so on… “Democracy”
Liars, fakers and posers.
Now it is the same as with monarchy before the downfall.
Sry…
I guess I vote for the person of best character. Whether or not they are able to accomplish what they promise for the general welfare.
And yeah, maga acts like the Trump Epstein thing is new. Kinda crazy. Where have they been? The guy seems to have them entranced. Maybe he is a witch like he says, ie witch hunt. Pretty persuasive somehow. He is just.being the same asshole lying crook he’s always been.
If it is a complete bust for the u.s. which seems to be the direction we are heading, it seems that it will be communism as we will have no choice. The government will assign us our jobs to keep things running. They are already establishing a health data base on the citizenry to take stock. So we won’t be applying for jobs in the company as you call it, we will be assigned.
There’s an external pressure I am feeling, but it seems familiar. I think moving on from Uranus opposing natal Saturn is a a thing. That was kinduv schizoid for me. This is like being wrapped in a blanket.
Hopefully Uranus retro end of year toward opp to Saturn again won’t be as harsh. Uranus was so distracting. Gave me the jitters.
It is easier to do two things at once now which I was struggling with before.

“I’m disappointed in President Putin, very disappointed at him, so we’re gonna have to look, and I’m gonna reduce that 50 days that I gave him to a lesser number, because I think I already know the answer,” Trump told reporters. Trump gives Putin new ’10 or 12 days’ deadline to end war in Ukraine, Politico, July 28, 2025 2:24 pm CET.
So an ultimatum doesn’t need to be specific. “Or else” is enough?
So what will Bonzo do? Will he send his B2 bombing moscow or what ?
Putin doesn’t care and he will never do what USA want for shure.
I just had to chuckle about the whole Bonzo ultimatum madness going on. It’s a bonanza of threats. Apparently some former Russian official referred to Sleepy Don as he was caught snoozin again. And roll the threats, a-gain.
So this could be the Trump Russia show, to distract from the Epstein thing. Russia handling the international transactions. He twitted that he is sending 2 nuclear subs to Russia cuz of Sleepy Don, etc comments. That is top secret military stuff so why would he blabbing.
The ultimatum is the unspoken one to me. Either bow down and praise me or I will hurt you. In this case, fill your environment with radioactive fallout. I think he is that nuts.
And the show goes on. Hope I don’t get any on me.
Here’s another one. Bad labor statistics, he fired the messenger.

Quite a bit of Moon in this chart, but given its newness, I dunno. Usually Moon sextile Sun is your first good aspect, and there are astrologers that won’t say much until the first Quarter Moon, 1 August.
Grok A1 or other AI, because more than one oligarch operating at this forum, wants to say ‘devious’ when I wrote Ceginus or Seginus, but it brings back memories of Time Stamp Moon, 23 January 2020, when WHO did the deed. And I stand by my rant at Moon sextile Sun. It was at that time they differed the scheme to astrology and went into a wild monetizing and looting operation. My opinion? Until this is ‘fixed’ the world will continue to muck along. Moon 03Lib55
Hello Jamie Chris Here its Been Long Since I went Through you Insights. They Are always On Point. I see Your Disappointed at President Putin But 50 Days Is Way Too Much .. Thank you For Your On Point Insgights , Today Being the1 st of August , Cant Wait for What you Have to Say The rest Of The Year .. Regards
This has all been really helpful. To understand what people write about Pluto. I do not recall Pluto mythology as being revengeful, which ultimatums threaten to do. Eris was revengeful but that was kinduv masked. But I now get revenge as a power play. I ended up derp in that world of which Klaus has been conversing, and I just can’t live that way. Perhaps that has been the answer I have been searching. What kind of world do I want to live in. That thing them people are doing is harsh and awful. I just can’t do it.
I have been told before that I am full of crap for saying it. But maybe it is what my old friend said, we choose our reality.
Them people, what they are pushing, just don’t seem right.
I was talking to an older woman on the train recently who said she grew up in Western Ethiopia as a missionaries child. Her father who is 92 years old and still alive got together with five other families from Kentucky and they started a mission in Western Ethiopia. He had a church a school and his homestead there and was raising his family. One day when the family was driving the Land Rover from Addis Ababa, the road was filled with Russian tank after tank after tank for miles and miles! They could barely get past them because of their size. The Russians began occupying Ethiopia. Anyone that visited her father, who is American, would be dead by Poison the next day. It happened over and over again because the Russians despised the Americans so much that they killed anyone that talked to this American minister. He was making plans with someone to escape before the Russians escalated their attacks and they didn’t know that the housekeeper could speak English and she listened into their plans and his friend was dead the next day. Then finally they were in town again in Addis Ababa and word got to them that the Russians were waiting for them at their home to kidnap their children. They fled and returned to the United States and did not go back to Ethiopia for 16 years, when they finally were pushed out of Ethiopia and the Russians were gone! This Minister found his flock had grown in his absence from 6:00 or 7,000 to 16,000 Christian souls. So when you talk about how much you love Putin then you must love being poisoned and being duped and being foolish. But men that lack of a sense of identity and who they are will cozy up to brutes and align themselves with the power structure because they’re cowards kind of like you Jamie. in fact why don’t you go immigrate to Russia and join their army? Yeah I didn’t think you would
