According to Vedic astrology, planets periodically go retrograde (vakri) and direct (margi)—a movement believed to influence not just personal lives but also broader world events. In July 2025, Saturn (Shani Dev)—the planet of karma—and Mercury (Budh)—associated with commerce and communication—will both turn retrograde. This cosmic shift is expected to impact all zodiac signs, but three signs in particular may witness significant positive changes, especially in career, business, and finances.
Let’s find out which signs are set to benefit:
Capricorn (Makar Rashi)
For Capricorn natives, the retrograde movement of both Saturn and Mercury could bring favorable outcomes. Saturn will be retrograding in the third house from your sign, while Mercury goes retrograde in the seventh house. This planetary alignment may lead to unexpected financial gains. Career-wise, Saturn’s influence could bring opportunities for growth and recognition.
Those in jobs will likely see improved relations with superiors and colleagues, while courage and confidence will be on the rise. Married individuals may experience harmony in their relationships, and singles could receive marriage proposals during this phase.
Taurus (Vrishabha Rashi)
Taurus natives may also benefit during this retrograde period. Saturn will retrograde in the house of income and gains, while Mercury will affect the third house, associated with effort and communication. This combination may bring career advancement, new job opportunities for the unemployed, and success in business ventures.
Additionally, Saturn governs the ninth and tenth houses for Taurus, hinting at spiritual growth and professional progress. There’s also a chance of international opportunities or gains from foreign connections. Confidence levels are likely to rise, helping you seize upcoming prospects.
Cancer (Karka Rashi)
The retrograde motion of Saturn and Mercury is expected to bring good fortune to Cancerians. Saturn will retrograde in the ninth house (house of luck), while Mercury goes retrograde in your ascendant (first house). This configuration may enhance destiny’s favor, giving you the push you need in personal and professional pursuits.
There could be travel related to business or religious functions, and you may find yourself part of auspicious family gatherings. Lifestyle improvements and a more positive outlook are indicated. Love life remains stable and affectionate. Financial plans may succeed, and those involved in creative fields could receive recognition and honors.
In Summary
While retrograde periods are often seen as challenging, for Capricorn, Taurus, and Cancer, July 2025 may bring a wave of positivity. Whether it’s career growth, financial rewards, or relationship bliss, the stars seem to be aligning favorably.
