Heumond, Bockmond, Donnermond: The Spiritual Power of the July Full Moon Explained

July 2025 is a month of strong contrasts: from pulsating dynamics to slowed, retrograde energies. The full moon in dutiful Capricorn stands directly opposite the emotional sun in Cancer. This can lead to an internal tug-of-war: rationality and discipline versus feeling and intuition. For many Viennese, this means a phase of heightened sensitivity. Colors, sounds, and smells can be perceived more intensely, which can quickly lead to overstimulation. At the same time, intuition is strengthened. Suddenly, you perceive things that were previously hidden from you. This full moon urges calm: important decisions should, if possible, be postponed to give space to inner doubts without being overwhelmed by them.

Revolution of Energies: Uranus and Neptune at Work

But it's not just the full moon that influences us. Since July 4, Neptune has been moving retrograde in Aries. This constellation offers the chance for profound insights but can also cause confusion and awaken the desire for escapism. Do you feel restless, perhaps even directionless during a walk through Schönbrunn, without knowing exactly what to do? This energy can throw you off balance. The good news: if you give in to your true feelings, this phase can also lead to decisiveness and self-reflection. Work on your focus and don't be discouraged if something doesn't work out immediately.

Additionally, Uranus, the "game-changing" planet, is causing a cosmic revolution. After seven years in Taurus, Uranus moves into the sign of Gemini around July 7 or 8 (with a brief return to Taurus from November 2025 to April 2026). This promises eight years full of "action, speed, turbulence, and groundbreaking innovations," especially in communication, artificial intelligence, education, technology, and space travel. The fast, airy energy of Gemini, combined with Uranus' unpredictability, could bring enormous changes in the way we think, communicate, and travel. The biggest challenge will be not to be swept away by this wave but to remain human. Especially in times of global conflicts, genuine heart-to-heart connections are more important than ever.

Saturn's Wisdom: The Opportunity for Inner Maturity

From July 13, Saturn also enters its retrograde phase and remains so until November 27, 2025. Saturn, the planet of discipline and responsibility, reminds us that true and lasting success only comes from within. Instead of acting hastily, it invites us to strengthen our foundation. This is the time to respect your own boundaries and those of others and to face challenges with more maturity. Although a retrograde Saturn is often perceived as "heavy," it offers an immense opportunity for healing and inner maturation. Use this phase to focus on the essentials and build a more stable, authentic life in our beloved Danube city.

This July, the cosmic energies are more intense than ever. Listen to your inner voice, allow yourself rest, and stay true to yourself. This way, you can make the most of the opportunities of this special time and emerge strengthened.

Questions and Answers About the Full Moon on July 10

What does the "Hay Moon" or "Buck Moon" mean?

How do retrograde planets like Neptune and Saturn affect us?

From an astrological perspective, retrograde planets mean that their energies are turned inward. This often leads to phases of reflection, self-examination, and review instead of the usual forward momentum. Neptune retrograde can lead to confusion or deep insights, while Saturn retrograde encourages the strengthening of foundations and rethinking of boundaries.

Why is 2025 considered a transitional year in astrology?

2025 is considered a transitional year due to significant planetary shifts. Particularly, the transit of Uranus, a slow-moving and "game-changing" planet, into a new sign (from Taurus to Gemini) marks a significant cycle change, bringing global and personal upheavals.
