News Updates for July 2025
A round-up of breaking news and the most interesting stories from the world of astrology and esotericism.
'The Secret Zodiac' by writer Fred Gettings unravels the mysteries of the Florentine basilica of San Miniato al Monte, a thirteenth-century marble zodiac. This book was originally published in 1987 and an eBook version is due for release this year. Gettings shows that the church was designed according to an extraordinarily significant astrological schema and embodies the mediaeval Church’s desire to refute an influential contemporary prophecy of the coming of the Anti-Christ. The Secret Zodiac shows how all the occult devices of the mediaeval artist are employed in San Miniato, from a ray of light which falls twice a year upon a particular symbol, to a message concealed in code in a Latin inscription set near to the zodiac itself.

Donald Trump celebrated his 79th birthday on June 14. Huffpost covered the predictions by several astrologers for Trump's future, ahead of his birthday.
According to Catherine Urban his solar return, "Could bring things to light, perhaps things that he doesn’t want brought to light. He’s visible whether he likes it or not." Another astrologer Celeste Brooks said, "The things he does this year are really going to leave a legacy." Urban also had this advice for Trump, "I would say to him, watch your health this year".
According to a recent survey, a sizable portion of the U.S. population consults astrology, tarot cards or a fortune teller. Many Americans like Grecia Martinez, a New York City based recruiter, use astrology as a guide for home buying decisions. Martinez said, “I’ve used it to determine if I were to buy a home. Where would I buy it? When should I buy it? What impact would that have for me?” She also had this to say about such astrology predictions, “That, overall, is influencing my financial plan and how I save and how I plan for the future.”
In an email interview to MarketWatch, astrologer Susan Miller said, “People are only asking about money and career — they don’t ask about love or housing” adding, “It’s all about money.” Another astrologer, Susan Gidel, who specialises in financial astrology says, “Like you and I have a birth chart, all the markets have one, too, for when they first started trading”. Gidel’s current thinking on the next recession is, “I do think a recession is on tap, and my target date is June 2026. That is when Jupiter squares both Saturn and Neptune.”
Artist and designer Davide DeAngelis talks to The Spark and describes how he created a Tarot deck in collaboration with the late David Bowie. The deck is named Starman Tarot and was recently relaunched by DeAngelis.
On June 9, Jupiter departed from Gemini and entered Cancer for the first time since 2013. Jupiter will remain in this sign till June 30, 2026. According to Aliza Kelly in The Cut, "This is an excellent time to nurture something new. Whether it’s a project, a partnership, or a deepened sense of self, Jupiter in Cancer rewards intention and emotional investment. This is also a deeply fertile transit for exploring ancestry, deepening your understanding of family (chosen or otherwise), and building safety — not just within a physical space but as a feeling."
According to Kelly, "Since May 2024, Jupiter has been in Gemini. Jupiter is actually in its determinant in this air sign, which means — for the past 12 months — it’s been struggling to express its full power."
According to Eva Globa in Novyny Live, Tarot readers say that these zodiac signs might suffer relationship break-ups during the course of the summer of 2025:
'Beyond Aquarius' is a novel written by published author and astrologer, Jennifer Freed. The plot surrounds characters Cam and Jules, two total opposites, who meet at a yoga retreat, but don't immediately connect as friends. As the story evolves, the two end up staying in touch until unexpected events summon them back into each other’s lives.
According to Freed, “Friendship is at the core of this book, and I believe is the most foundational basis for any lasting relationship. Jane Lynch says she loves the book because it’s uncynical. Others say they learned so much about love from reading it.”
The Tarot Reader of Versailles by Irish writer Anya Bergman is set in Paris, 1793. The book is a fantasy-fuelled tale of allegiances, betrayals, love and intrigue involving the notorious Temple Prison, where Marie Antoinette is having her cards read.
The book was inspired by the true story of Marie Anne Adelaide Lenormand who famously set up her own secret and illegal Tarot salon in Paris, where she read the cards for both royalists and radical revolutionaries.
Leah Musch is an aspiring tarot therapist who conducts a monthly Tarot Club in Brunswick. The club is limited to just 20 people. Activities involve a combination of solo and paired readings, reflections, journal prompts, meditation and art exercises. According to Musch typically, "We first begin by practicing reading for ourselves. I hand out worksheets with prompts based on the monthly card, and participants are encouraged to pick a prompt that resonates and start shuffling/pulling. We then break into small groups to share what came up, it’s always powerful to see how quickly people start opening up and connecting."
Colorado artist Dyanna Csaposs explains the art of Tarot cards to FOX31 Denver reporter, Dan Daru during Artsweek Golden. Csaposs gives Daru a short reading in the process.
According to psychic astrologer Antonella, “Animals may not speak our language, but they have a tendency to communicate on an energetic level, and tarot readings provide a unique way to tune into this frequency in a powerful way.”
Antonells says that it is possible to use Tarot readings to answer pet questions on the following lines:
Does my pet have any past trauma from previous owners?
What is the reason for my dog’s anxiety?
How can I strengthen my bond with my pet?
Is there something I’m missing about my pet’s behaviour?
If my pet could talk, what would they say to me right now?
Fine Arts instructor Robert Lacki at El Camino College, in Torrance, California, USA performs Tarot card readings for himself and others at the college.
Introduced to the Tarot at 8 years old by his mother, Lacki grew accustomed to seeing the Tarot card readings she would do, although he did not practice it himself. Over the last few years, Lacki has memorised the meaning of the cards in a deck one by one, and has even created his own deck by hand.
Prof. Lacki reads the Tarot for his friends and students, some of whom enjoyed his intuitive insight into their lives and situations. One such colleague said of his readings, "He is an instructor, but at the same time, he has healer energy".
The author of this piece, Sofia Viera consulted esthetician Mikaela MacLean, who specialises in what is referred to as, “Human Design”. This is a wellness system that blends elements from astrology with other esoteric systems.
Viera concludes that astrological skincare routines work and says, "Ultimately, the products weren’t what made that difference; it was my change of perspective. The way I approach skincare has taken a complete 180, and I no longer dread the task of a routine. Instead, I look forward to my ritual of taking care of myself."
