If you’ve been feeling stuck in your job, unsure about a promotion, or waiting for the right time to send that college application, this week’s stars may just have the answers you need.
The celestial energy between 20 and 26 July 2025 brings a potent mix of ambition, learning curves, and bold career moves.
With Mercury aligning with Mars midweek and Saturn testing your limits, many zodiac signs will feel either the push to act or the pause to reflect. Expect strong mental clarity, but also recognise the need to manage frustration, particularly in workplace dynamics and academic performance.
Whether you’re a student, a freelancer, a corporate go-getter, or job-hunting, here’s how the week will shape your professional path.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
This week, your confidence in the workplace or classroom takes centre stage. A senior could unexpectedly offer support or praise, and it might lead to a new opportunity. However, you must watch your temper. Mars in Leo may make you overly reactive to delays or criticism. Students may find success in competitive exams, but need to stick to schedules. If you’re looking to switch jobs, start reaching out on Wednesday onwards.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
This is an ideal week to learn a new skill or take a certification course that enhances your resume. Your ruling planet Venus, helps you make practical, grounded decisions in your work and academic life. You may also be asked to mentor someone younger, which will improve your own learning curve. Financially, be careful with expenses related to education.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
You may receive an offer to present your ideas or lead a team initiative. Communication becomes your career superpower this week, especially during midweek. Students will benefit from group discussions, debates, and even content creation. You may feel scattered by Thursday, so write down your goals and commit. Stay away from gossip-what you say now can reach higher-ups.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Career-wise, this week asks you to step outside your comfort zone. Don’t shy away from tasks that feel intimidating. If you’re stuck in the same job role, you may feel deeply dissatisfied. That discomfort is your cue to look for growth opportunities. Students need to avoid self-doubt and focus on inner discipline. By Friday, clarity arrives on what to do next.
Leo (July 23-August 22)
There’s a spotlight on you, Leo. You may win an award, appreciation, or even be headhunted this week. But the same stars that raise you up can test your patience. Avoid talking down to peers or interns. Students may perform well in arts, presentations, or public speaking. A sibling or friend may ask for help with career advice-offer it wisely.
Virgo (August 23-September 22)
Expect minor chaos in office deadlines, college assignments, or entrance forms. The trick is to stay highly organised-lists, planners, and reminders will save you. A mentor may offer excellent guidance; don’t be shy to ask questions. If you’ve been thinking of starting a side hustle or part-time course, this is the perfect time to act. Your attention to detail pays off.
Libra (September 23-October 22)
It’s time to step back and evaluate what YOU want out of your career. You may feel torn between pleasing others and pursuing your own vision. Let go of people-pleasing in workspaces. Students should focus on clarity of concepts rather than copying others’ methods. By the weekend, you may have an “aha” moment that reshapes your path forward.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21)
Scorpio, this week is packed with professional potential. Your intuition is on point, so trust it while making key decisions. If you’re a student, your research or thesis may be recognised. You may find yourself in intense one-on-one meetings-prepare well. Secret job offers or behind-the-scenes opportunities could arrive. Use Friday for career journaling or planning big moves.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21)
You might be tempted to take shortcuts or impulsively quit something this week-but don’t. Jupiter reminds you to think long-term. Students should plan their study calendar and cut down distractions. Workplace politics may show up; stay neutral. You’ll benefit from visualising your 6-month or 1-year goals instead of reacting to every challenge.
Capricorn (December 22-January 19)
You’ve been working hard, but if things aren’t moving, maybe your method needs tweaking. Review your strategies and daily routine. A job opportunity or interview may come via an old contact. Students may find clarity around changing a course or reappearing for an exam. You are not failing-you’re realigning.
Aquarius (January 20-February 18)
A sudden offer to collaborate or team up could prove fruitful. Think beyond what’s familiar. Students may benefit from peer study groups. You might also be contacted by someone from a previous job or internship. Don’t hesitate to say yes, even if the opportunity feels unconventional. Fresh ideas will lead to real success.
Pisces (February 19-March 20)
You may feel emotionally overwhelmed about where your life is headed. But instead of worrying, focus on visualising the career or academic future you want. Creative projects will shine. A senior may finally notice your contribution, so keep showing up. Don’t delay any application processes. Write down your vision-clarity will emerge.
This week brings a powerful reminder that your career and education paths are rarely linear-they expand, contract, shift, and evolve just like the planetary movements in the sky. While some zodiac signs will feel breakthroughs and recognition, others will face moments of pause or realignment.
Don’t fear change; embrace it with clarity. Whether it’s a new contact, a rejected idea, or a sudden project, everything is nudging you toward your purpose. Trust the cosmic course-it’s leading you somewhere meaningful.
