An Astrological Perspective on July 2025

Around noon on July 4, 2025, part of Prague suddenly went dark. Lights went out, trams stopped, office computers went silent. The energy company PRE quickly pointed to a substation failure in Chodov. A technical glitch, all under control.

We trust official explanations, of course. But here's the curious part: that very same day, Neptune began its retrograde motion. Coincidence? Perhaps. Or perhaps not. Depends on your perspective.

Planets in Reverse: July as a Time for Pause and Reflection

Astrologically speaking, July is no walk in the park. Four (!) planets are going retrograde:

• Neptune since July 4 — the day of the blackout;

• Saturn slowing down in Pisces;

• Pluto reversing in Aquarius;

• And Mercury joins them on July 17.

Cosmically, it’s like roadwork on a highway: delays, detours, and unexpected slowdowns.

Neptune in Aries: Energy Scattered

Neptune governs dreams, illusions, and confusion. Turning retrograde in fiery Aries, it seems symbolic — or maybe ironic. Energy literally drained. From sockets, and possibly from ourselves.

Saturn in Pisces: Boundaries Blurred

Saturn is the planet of discipline, but in Pisces and retrograde? Everything feels less stable. If you’re struggling to keep structure in your life — you’re not alone.

Pluto in Aquarius: Digital Weaknesses

Pluto rewinds and reminds us: are we really in control of our digital lives? Expect glitches — especially where you rely on tech the most.

Mercury from July 17: Chaos Classic

Mid-July brings back retrograde Mercury. Documents get lost, devices glitch, deadlines slip. So:

• Double-check all important messages;

• Avoid impulse tech buys;

• And allow buffer time for calls and meetings.

Staying Grounded When Nothing Goes to Plan

  1. Focus on focus
    • Silence the noise — notifications can wait
    • Take breaks from screens
  2. Energy is more than a battery
    • Identify what drains and what restores you
  3. Tech backup is essential
    • Update, backup, prepare for Wi-Fi failure
  4. Emotions are not system errors
    • Try quiet, meditation, or simply talking — even to your cat (but preferably to a person)

When the stars whisper, WeCan astrologers translate: personal guidance for those who feel lost

Even if you rely solely on logic and facts, times of uncertainty often make us long for a different perspective. At WeCan, we understand: sometimes you don’t need to “fix your fate,” you just need to tidy up your thoughts — especially when the world feels like it’s falling apart.

On our platform, you’ll find not only astrologers, but also psychologists, tarot readers, and other experts who may not believe in magic — but who know how to think outside the box. Sometimes, that’s all it takes for things to start making sense again. And if a little belief in wonder makes life brighter — what’s wrong with that?

★ They’ll show you when to pause — and when to power through;
★ Help you see situations from a new angle and notice what you've missed;
★ And simply be there — no lectures, just support.

And if you’re an expert yourself — now’s the perfect time to join the WeCan platform. Your experience might be the guiding light someone else needs.

Blackout as a Call to Reboot

Sometimes the lights go out just to remind us: we have a flashlight. Or at least a candle. Or an inner compass.

The July 4 blackout may have been technical — but it was also deeply symbolic. Maybe July isn't about faulty sockets, but about a necessary pause. A reset.

So don’t fear the retrograde planets or rush to fix the universe. Instead, tune in. Double-check. Listen deeply.

And if you need a guide — WeCan is here. The light will return.
