Your horoscope for Wednesday 16 July 2025

Aries ♈

Mars is in Leo and you are on one. The energy today is big protest, small patience. Resist the urge to take it all on yourself — even if no one else is stepping up. Suggest collective action, not individual heroics. You’re not a solo act; you’re a spark in a well-placed tinder pile. Remember, even riots need rest days.

Taurus ♉

Venus squares the Moon, and your need for peace might be at odds with the passive-aggressive nonsense being peddled in the group chat. Today, your refusal to react is powerful. Set the tone by making rest non-negotiable. Propose collective breaks. Bake your politics into your schedule — with full-fat snacks and time to digest them.

Gemini ♊

Mercury is opposite Pluto in your horoscope, which means words carry weight — and yours could either liberate or destabilise, depending on tone. Today, choose clarity over cleverness. Name the injustice, but offer alternatives. Be the one who bridges confusion without playing middle-management diplomat. You’re not neutral. You’re just multilingual in the dialect of dissent.

Cancer ♋

The Moon in Scorpio is pulling your emotional tides into deeper waters. Today, your instinct is to care — but don’t forget to redistribute the load. Host a collective check-in. Suggest a system of shared accountability. Emotional intelligence shouldn’t mean unpaid therapy. You’re not here to “hold space” indefinitely. Sometimes you get to close the door and nap.

Leo ♌

The Sun conjuncts Mercury in your horoscope and your charisma is dialled up to eleven. Use it. Not to dominate, but to galvanise. Lift others up. Propose that pay transparency doc. Facilitate a group rant with revolutionary outcomes. You’re not just the face of the movement — you’re the microphone. Pass it round.

Virgo ♍

Mercury trines Uranus, giving your spreadsheets the uncanny power to inspire revolt. Perfect time to expose systemic inefficiency with tact and tabs. Today, don’t just fix the system — show people why it’s broken. Offer a process people actually want to follow. Your attention to detail isn’t petty — it’s the groundwork for collective power.

What’s in store with your horoscope today?

Libra ♎

Venus is in Cancer in your horoscope, and you’re craving harmony so much you might nod along while someone suggests an “employee engagement away day”. Don’t. Challenge the narrative — gently. Suggest mutual aid instead of wellness webinars. True balance isn’t silence. It’s justice with decent lighting and decent snacks. Speak up — aesthetically.

Scorpio ♏

Pluto retrograde makes your psychic radar stronger than the Wi-Fi. You know who’s hoarding information and who’s quietly doing the heavy lifting. Today, don’t confront — coordinate. Slide into someone’s DMs and propose a whisper network. Share the receipts. You don’t need a spotlight to shift the centre of gravity.

Sagittarius ♐

Jupiter sextiles the Sun, giving your visions real traction — finally. But before you pitch three collectives and a rooftop coop garden, ask: does everyone have the capacity today? Scale your enthusiasm to match the room. Invite people to dream without obligation. Your fire should warm, not overwhelm. Think campfire, not bonfire.

Capricorn ♑

Saturn is squaring the Moon in your horoscope, and you’re in danger of assuming that if you don’t hold it all together, everything will fall apart. Good news: that’s capitalism talking. Today, divest. Share the load. Suggest a rota that doesn’t rely on invisible labour. You’re not a structure. You’re a person. And you’re allowed to go offline.

Aquarius ♒

Uranus is vibing with Mercury, and you’ve got the perfect zany idea to solve a long-standing problem — like consensus-building via group chat GIFs. Run with it. Today is for playful subversion. Host a “no bosses allowed” strategy call. Circulate the anonymous survey. The system is creaking — you just need to give it a nudge in the right direction.

Pisces ♓

Neptune conjuncts the Moon in your horoscope, and your emotional barometer is dialled to ‘stormy but prophetic’. You’re not imagining it — the vibes are off. Today, say it out loud. Ask the team what’s not being said. Suggest a break from “outputs”. Emotional dissonance is data. And you, soft one, are the archivist of unspoken truth.
