The Astrology of Business: Q3 2025
by Stevie Goldstein
Founder of analytical psychology and pioneer of symbolic astrology, Carl Jung, once said, “We are born at a given moment, in a given place, and like vintage years of wine, we have the qualities of the year and of the season in which we are born.” Jung’s words speak to the cosmic influences that shape us — and since people are the beating heart of workplaces and financial markets, business isn’t immune to the stars above.
We’re halfway through the year, and after a sluggish Q1, the second quarter picked up speed. Q3 looks primed to shake things up astrologically. July brings recalibration. August asks us to rise to the occasion. September? A total wild card, thanks to a pair of dramatic eclipses. Let’s break down the quarter so you can align with the planetary dos and don’ts ahead.
JULY 2025: SYSTEM UPDATES
July is kicking off with a bang thanks to a major planetary shift on July 7: Uranus, the planet of disruption and innovation, is moving into Gemini, the sign of communication and tech. The last time this happened was 1941–1948. We’ve come a long way since then—and with both Uranus and Gemini tied to progress, this is a cosmic green light to upgrade your systems. How’s your marketing? Your messaging? Your tech tools? Now’s the time to assess and adapt.
And because the universe likes to keep things interesting, Mercury will also be retrograde from July 17 to August 11, in Leo—a sign tied to creativity and self-expression. Mercury Retrogrades are always invitations to go back to the drawing board. Revisit old projects, finish what’s lingering, and expect a few delays or communication mix-ups. Double-check contracts. Proof your emails. Make sure no one’s accidentally CC’d who shouldn’t be. And since this one’s in Leo, don’t just clarify your message—make it sparkle. Mercury Retrogrades aren’t punishments; they’re pit stops. Paired with Uranus entering Gemini, July is your moment to rethink and refresh your approach so you can hit the ground running later.
AUGUST 2025: BACK IN THE SADDLE
Mercury is still retrograde until August 11, so the first half of the month may feel like you’re moving in slow motion. But circle August 11 on your calendar—that’s when Mercury goes direct and Jupiter (planet of luck) links up with Venus (planet of money and beauty) in Cancer, the sign of emotional intelligence and security. It’s one of the luckiest days of the year, and you may start seeing the payoff from all those July tweaks and revisions.
Cancer is also about gut instinct, so if something feels right, follow it. While practicality is key in business, this month asks you to lead with heart and style. Think: statement piece energy. Be bold. Virgo season begins August 22, bringing a grounded, organizing vibe to help balance out the earlier chaos. If July knocked you off your rhythm, August is your chance to get back in the groove.
SEPTEMBER 2025: BEGINNINGS AND ENDINGS
Just when you thought you had your footing—bam! It’s eclipse season. The last eclipse was back in March, so think back: what was stirring then? Similar storylines may resurface.
We’ve got a Total Lunar Eclipse in Pisces on September 7 and a Partial Solar Eclipse in Virgo on September 21. Eclipses are cosmic plot twists. They speed up timelines, close chapters, and open new ones. This pair touches the North Node (destiny) in Pisces and the South Node (release) in Virgo, asking us to let go of perfectionism and lean into trust. Pisces energy invites us to surrender, flow, and not force what isn’t meant for us.
So if something feels like an uphill battle this month, maybe it’s not meant to be climbed. Instead, stay open to what shows up. A chance meeting could lead to a new client. An old collaborator could pop back in with the perfect opportunity. September’s magic is all about being present and embracing the unexpected.
Q3 is going to keep us on our toes—but in the best way. Part experimental, part serendipitous, these next few months are anything but boring. So grab your metaphorical surfboard and see how your sign will move through the waves ahead:
ARIES
Live locally this quarter, Aries. The planets are encouraging you to tailor your business to the folks closest to you. Your next client could be living right down the street! Do some research on businesses in your area—they could open new doors and expand your horizons.
TAURUS
Let the cash flow in! This quarter is all about your finances. With the communication area of your chart activated, don’t downplay your expertise. Giving talks or leading workshops is an avenue worth exploring. People would pay to hear what you have to say.
GEMINI
You’re an idea machine, so keep a pen and paper nearby! While many of your ideas might feel random or unrelated, they’re more intertwined with your work than you think. Don’t knock any of them until you try them; the more out there, the better.
CANCER
Feeling scattered? You may feel called to take some time away and reset your soul. That reset could spark a whole new wave of project ideas, from a book proposal to a podcast. Turn that noise into something meaningful.
LEO
Community is everything in the months ahead. No stranger to the spotlight, it’s time to see and be seen. Retreats, conferences, mixers, it’s the summer of socializing. The more visibility you bring in, the bigger the rewards. Step on out!
VIRGO
This quarter brings cosmic shifts to your career! Whether you’re stepping into a higher position of power or pivoting into a new lane, whatever you do will cause shockwaves that can be felt far and wide. Don’t be afraid to mix things up.
LIBRA
You may feel the urge to break out of your regular day-to-day routine. Set your sights on exploring new spaces. Travel will be a great source of inspiration this quarter, so make time to globetrot if you can! If not physically, then locally: take a course or learn a new language. Expand your mind.
SCORPIO
You’ve been working so hard, Scorpio, but now it’s time to branch out and enlist the help of others. Maybe it’s seeking investors or partnering with people who match your unstoppable energy. You deserve to feel supported by a team that truly gets you.
SAGITTARIUS
Exciting new partnerships are on the horizon this quarter! They may not be the typical folks you’re used to working with, but don’t let that stop you. The people entering your world in the months ahead are exactly who you need. Embrace the new energy!
CAPRICORN
Health and wellness are top of mind. Nourishing food and movement support your mental health, which in turn will fuel your professional life. The better you feel in your daily routines, the more energized and productive you’ll be at work. It all flows outward.
AQUARIUS
It’s the summer of expression! The part of your chart connected to creativity is electrified. The more play and experimentation you bring into your career, the better. Aquarians are naturally inventive, so embrace your inner visionary.
PISCES
This quarter is all about getting in touch with your foundational needs. You’re reflecting on where to plant roots, in both home and business. Spend the next few months doing some A/B testing. The answers will come, but it’s up to you to explore all the options.
