Siren Star Report July 14-20th 2025

The tides are shifting as we swim through the final full week of Cancer season, and the waters feel rich with reflection. Emotions rise, memories resurface, and the stars whisper reminders to slow down and listen more closely… to yourself, to others, to what’s been left unsaid. This is a week to soften into your intuition, to let clarity come like driftwood washed ashore, and to prepare for the fire ahead. Let what no longer belongs be pulled gently out to sea.

This week’s skies come with a shift in the current. Mercury stations retrograde in Leo on the 17th, turning up the volume on self-expression, ego, and the stories we tell ourselves. Expect bold miscommunications, dramatic revisits to the past, and divine delays that nudge you toward deeper alignment. The next day, Mercury sextiles Venus in Gemini, offering a sweet window for charm, playfulness, and rewording what once felt too sharp or too soft. Words can be spells… especially now.

In astrology, a retrograde happens when a planet appears to move backward in the sky. It’s a cosmic rewind, urging us to reflect, revise, and return to unfinished business. A sextile, on the other hand, is a gentle, harmonious aspect that forms when two planets are 60 degrees apart. This creates an energetic green light where flow and positive energy naturally align. These transits may seem subtle, but their effects ripple through our thoughts, conversations, and choices in deeply felt ways.

All of this unfolds under the emotional tide of Cancer season’s final act. The cosmos is stirring the waters of nostalgia and self-protection, urging us to revisit what’s in our hearts before the Sun blazes into Leo next week. If it feels like things are shifting beneath the surface, it’s because they are. This week is not about charging ahead, but about listening, revising, and letting the waves rearrange what needs to be rewritten.

The Moon begins the week in her waning gibbous phase (July 14–16), gently pulling us inward after last week’s full moon intensity. This is a time for integration… for harvesting wisdom, tending to what’s been revealed, and letting truth settle into your bones. You may feel reflective, even a little tender. This will be a moment for a sacred pause.

By midweek, she shifts into her waning crescent form (July 17–20), whispering a soft invitation to release. These lunar days are made for rest, ritual, and restoration. It’s perfect for clearing mental clutter, emotional residue, and energetic noise stirred up by Mercury’s retrograde turn. Let yourself unplug, detox, and daydream. This moon wants less doing, more feeling. Let the quieter currents guide you home.

The Moon’s path this week flows through four distinct signs, each adding a unique emotional undercurrent to our days. She begins in dreamy Pisces (July 14–15), heightening sensitivity, intuition, and the desire to drift away from hard edges. Then she blazes through Aries (July 15-16), stirring bold emotions and impulsive urges… especially as Mercury shifts retrograde. Take care not to let fire drown out clarity. By Friday the Moon grounds herself in Taurus (July 18-19), inviting comfort, embodiment, and slow, sensual presence. When she flutters into Gemini (July 20), prepare for curiosity, scattered thoughts, and a desire to communicate… just as Mercury’s retrograde truly begins to work its magic. Track how your moods shift with the Moon; she’s a mirror, not a mystery.

This is not a week to rush. The cosmic currents call for softness, self-reflection, and intuitive recalibration. With Mercury beginning its retrograde in Leo and the Moon waning into her most inward phases, clarity comes not through action, but through listening. Let your heart speak before your mouth does. Let your emotions rise without trying to fix or explain them.

Lean into: rituals of release, quiet confidence, revisiting past creative ideas, reconnecting with your inner voice.
Avoid: forcing conversations, overexplaining yourself, taking emotional bait, rushing to make decisions you’ll have to redo later.
Embody: the siren who sings in silence… powerful, magnetic, and unbothered by the noise on the surface.

The tarot tide this week brings Judgement reversed. It comes as a spiritual echo, a call you may be ignoring, avoiding, or not quite ready to answer. This week asks you to look inward with compassion and honesty. What truths are trying to rise to the surface? What patterns are begging to be released once and for all? You may feel stuck between the past and the future, but this card reminds you: the pause is the power. You are not behind. You are becoming.

With Mercury retrograde and the waning Moon supporting deep inner work, this is a potent time to revisit your personal narrative. Are you living by your own truth or someone else’s expectations? Let go of harsh self-judgment and make space for a softer rebirth.

And if you’re feeling ready to shift something internally this week, here’s a simple ritual to help you reclaim your voice and honor how far you’ve come:

Stand before a mirror with a journal nearby. Light a white candle. Gaze at yourself softly and say aloud: "I release the weight of old judgments. I see myself clearly, and I call back all versions of me with love." Then write a letter to your past self… the one who made the hard decisions, who felt lost, who didn’t know what you know now. Fold it and place it under the candle as it burns down. When complete, bury or burn the letter to seal the spell.

Not every truth arrives with a thunderclap. Some arrive like waves… soft, steady, undeniable. This week, trust the quiet revelations. Trust the pause. Trust that what’s fading is making space for something more aligned to rise.
