The Astrology of Reconnection, Closure, and Second Chances
Some love stories don’t end — they pause.
If you’ve been feeling the tug of the past, dreaming of someone you once loved, or even sensing their energy return into your orbit, you’re not imagining things.
July 2025 brings some of the strongest cosmic alignments for rekindling old love, healing romantic wounds, and rewriting stories that were left unfinished.
Let’s explore what the planets have in store and whether your ex might really come back.
The Astrological Backdrop: What Makes July So Potent?
1. Mercury Retrograde in Leo (Begins July 18)
Leo rules the heart. When Mercury, the planet of communication and memory, turns retrograde in this passionate sign, we’re pulled back into the stories of past love, creative chemistry, and emotional expression. Leo doesn’t forget easily, especially where pride or unspoken feelings are involved.
You might hear from someone who once made your heart race.
You might be the one reaching out.
You might even meet again “by chance.”
This retrograde brings a cosmic permission slip to revisit love with greater clarity. Expect emotional texts, long-overdue apologies, and open-hearted confessions.
Power date: July 31 – Mercury Cazimi in Leo (8° to 9°)
This is the heart of the retrograde, a day of emotional truth, mental clarity, and karmic breakthroughs. If you’re going to reconnect, this is the moment it may crystallize.
2. Venus Transits: Gentle Invitations to Reconnect
July 5: Venus Enters Gemini
This shift sparks flirtation, curiosity, and open communication. If you’ve been overthinking or avoiding a reconnection, this placement encourages lightness. You may feel the urge to send a simple message like “Hey, I’ve been thinking about you.”
July 6: Venus Sextile Neptune Retrograde and Trine Pluto Retrograde
This rare, soft, magical alignment blends soulful longing with emotional depth.
Old lovers often resurface under these transits, especially those who felt like soulmates or twin flames.
You might:
- Dream of them
- Feel them energetically
- Cross paths in a seemingly accidental but deeply fated way
3. Mercury Retrograde Sextile Venus (July 18)
This is one of the most emotionally intelligent days of the month.
If you need to have a heartfelt talk, re-establish connection, or bring peace to a love that ended with confusion, this transit offers quiet support.
Perfect for:
- Rekindling conversations
- Apologies that open doors
- Discovering the truth behind why something ended
4. New Moon in Leo (July 24)
New Moons open the door to new beginnings, sometimes by rewriting old stories.
In Leo, the New Moon asks you to lead with love.
If you want someone back, you may finally find the courage to say it.
If they return, it may be with a vulnerability they couldn’t express before.
Set intentions around love, courage, visibility, and joy. Don’t be surprised if you suddenly see them again, online or in real life.
Spiritual Guidance for Love in July 2025
If love returns, let it prove itself through presence.
If it’s only a memory, bless it and release it.
Either way, you’re being guided closer to your heart’s truth.
Not all returns are meant to stay, but every return has a reason.
