The Moon phase for July 26th, 2025 is a Waxing Crescent phase. This is the phase where the moon started to become visible again after the New Moon.
In this part of the moon cycle, the Moon is moving away from the Sun and is becoming more and more illuminated by sunlight. In this phase, the moon will go from 0.1% to 49.9% illuminated before reaching the First Quarter phase.
In the Waxing Crescent phase the moon rises before noon in the east, transits the meridian before sunset, before setting in the west before midnight.
The Waxing Crescent phase, like all moon phases, will last for just over 7 days. The actual length will vary because of the elliptical shaped orbit of the moon. The moon is close to the Sun in the sky and the right edge will become brighter as it approaches 50% illumination and the First Quarter phase

Fun fact: although only a small part of the Moon is illuminated in the Waxing Crescent phase, you can still sometimes see the rest of moon as faintly visible. This is known as “earthshine” or Da Vinci glow and is a result of sunlight being reflected off the Earth and back to the Moon.

Negative Traits: Acknowledging that they can’t behave all possessive and boastful is the way to go for these natives who are too supervising and too nonmalleable. They want to have it their way but they need to learn that settling would often do them more good then the perpetual bull headedness they are displaying when other people are trying to get a bit of the spotlight that is always on them.

JULY 25 birthday horoscope predicts that you are someone special. You have special skills that are not common such as your interest in science or technological stuff. You pamper your loved ones and care for them.
You seem to enjoy things that challenge your knowledge and talents. Also, you could be a thorough person. Those born on this day are likely to be detailed, intuitive and responsible individuals.
As a Leo in love, you would never know it as you keep those feelings to yourself. In a committed relationship, you will never share everything, as some things should remain private, you feel. Nevertheless, the July 25 horoscope predicts that you are a Lion who is vigilant and distant even with your friends.
The July 25th birthday personality characteristics suggest that you are a cheerful Lion who has a great sense of humor, the gift of gab but you are respected. As an adult, you remain playful but mysterious.
Yes, you have everyone’s curiosity up wondering what is beneath your surface. It is a spiritual thing, and some would not understand. Those born on this birthday July 25 tend to see the best in all humans.
Perhaps, they have an idealistic opinion of people and the world. This quality also has its negative side, as you can be disappointed when it comes to imperfect people. With this in mind, it is hard for you to hold a grudge.
This Leo, according to the July 25 astrology, is normally doting, very attractive and alluring. However, this Lion can roar with jealousy as you have a possessive quality as well. You are very close to your family, but you love your independence as much as you do your family.
It is not typical that this Leo birthday person will settle down early on. You will be sure of your feelings before doing that. You may date someone for an extended period. Hopefully, you can commit to someone special, honest and giving.
Additionally, the Leo will be home most of the time so you can expect to enjoy the simple pleasures such as entertaining and showing off your home. The 25th July birthday meanings predict that after everyone has gone, you will find yourself full of energy, as your last performance will be the climax of the evening.
The money you make as a manager was certainly a good career move for you. Those of you are born today on July 25, like having responsibility. You have a lot of talents and skills that could be used by many places or departments. You are a true leader.
However, you may find that working for yourself allows you more freedom and brings in a good profit. The Leo that is too generous will soon find a bank account balance that is slowly dissipating. Be careful, as you cannot fix the world financially. You work too hard for your money to give it away.
The July 25 birthday personality report shows that this Leo is usually in decent health. However, you do not like to exercise or do you eat healthily. Not once do you think about what you are doing to your body? You are busy, I get that, but you can take small efforts to increase your health score.
For example, instead of going to the fast food joint, enjoy a sit-down meal from the special menu. There are plenty of delicious, healthy meals around 500 or so calories that most restaurants offer today. It certainly costs about the same amount of money, too. You could park your car at the end of the parking lot rather than closest to the door. Little things like this can make a big difference in the end.
The July 25th zodiac predictions show that you could be a geek as you are interested in scientific escapades and technical matters. You are close to your family, but mainly, you want to enjoy the company of someone who is loyal and honest such as yourself.
Those born on this day are Lions who give a lot but perhaps too generous as you may find yourself going deep into your pockets to help other people. While you are quick to help other people, you typically neglect your health.

July 24, 2025 Current Southern Hemisphere/Tomorrow’s Northern Hemisphere Moon Phase
Source: nineplanets.org
The current moon phase for today is the New Moon phase.
On this day, the moon is -0.4 days old and 0.35% illuminated with a tilt of -2.882°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 374,551.26 km and the moon sign is Cancer.
The Moon phase for today is the New Moon phase. In this phase, the moon is positioned between the Sun and Earth and is 0% illuminated (i.e the moon is not visible to us in the sky).
Due to the alignment of the Sun, the Moon and Earth, the side of the moon that faces Earth is left in complete darkness. In technical terms this is referred to as a conjunction or Syzygy.
Also, during the New Moon phase, the moon rises and sets at around the same time as the Sun. This brings to the moon too close to the glare of the Sun for us to see the moon with the naked eye.
Fun fact: The moon can’t emit its own light, it can only reflect the light from the Sun’s rays. Since there is no sunlight during the New Moon phase there is nothing to reflect, so the moon becomes completely dark and unable to be seen in the sky.

The Moon’s current phase for today and tonight is a New Moon phase. During this phase the Moon is too close to the sun in the sky to be visible. The moon rises and sets with the sun and is not present in the night sky. Because of this the night sky is darker and an excellent time to view other celestial objects. Like the Full Moon, a New Moon happens at a very specific time when the sun and moon have the same ecliptic longitude and it can be measured down to the second it occurs.

The Waxing Gibbous phase, like all moon phases, will last for just over 7 days. The actual length will vary because of the elliptical shaped orbit of the moon.

Assuming it’s a clear night, the Waxing Gibbous moon will then be visible through most of the night before setting just before sunrise.

July 22, 2025 Current Southern Hemisphere/Tomorrow’s Northern Hemisphere Moon Phase
Source: nineplanets.org
The current moon phase for July 22nd, 2025 is the Waning Crescent phase.
On this day, the moon is 26.98 days old and 8.64% illuminated with a tilt of -41.51°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 369,278.79 km and the moon sign is Gemini.
The Moon phase for July 22nd, 2025 is a Waning Crescent phase. This is the phase where the moon is less than 50% illuminated but has not yet reached 0% illumination (which would be a New Moon).
In this part of the moon cycle, it is getting closer and closer to the Sun as viewed from Earth and the night side of the Moon is facing earth with a decreasingly thin crescent being illuminated.
The waning (shrinking) crescement Moon will rise at around midnight, transit the meridian after sunrise, before setting after noon. This phase is best viewed 1-2 hours before sunrise and is a great time to see the features of the Moon’s surface. Along the illuminated crescent you can see the craters and mountains of the moon casting long shadows.
The Waxing Gibbous phase, like all moon phases, will last for just over 7 days. The actual length will vary because of the elliptical shaped orbit of the moon. During this Waxing Gibbous phase the moon will rise in the east in the mid- to late-afternoon and will be high in the eastern sky at sunset.
Assuming it’s a clear night, the Waxing Gibbous moon will then be visible through most of the night before setting just before sunrise.
Fun fact: the illuminated side of a waning crescent moon is always pointed eastwards, towards the sunrise.
