Weekly Astrology Forecast July 28 – August 3, 2025 | First Quarter Moon Rituals by Zodiac Sign
Are You Feeling Stuck or Scattered This Week?
This weekly astrology forecast July 28-August 3 gives you exactly what you need to move forward with intention, not overwhelm. The energy right now can feel a little confusing — the Moon is gaining light, Mercury’s going retrograde, and maybe you’re wondering: What should I focus on? Or more importantly — how do I align my actions with what I truly want?
Let’s make that simple. 🌙
This is the perfect week to reconnect with your intentions through powerful but doable steps. Whether you’re craving momentum, clarity, or a fresh start, this astrology forecast is your go-to guide.
Weekly Astrology Forecast July 28-August 3 – The Energy Snapshot
We begin with the Moon in Virgo (July 28), bringing grounded vibes to our to-do list. Then we shift into the airy connection of Libra (July 29–31), followed by the intense emotional waters of Scorpio (Aug 1–3).
That means: start with organizing your energy, then lean into relationship harmony, and finally explore emotional honesty.
All week, we’re building toward the First Quarter Moon on August 1 — the heart of this weekly astrology forecast July 28-August 3. This phase is all about taking action on the seeds planted at the New Moon.
And heads up: Mercury is retrograde in Leo right now (July 18–August 11).
That means rethinking your creative voice, reviewing how you speak your truth, and maybe slowing down before you hit „send.”
TL;DR: This week is not for rushing. It’s for intentional action, gentle self-leadership, and cosmic check-ins.
