Outdoor horoscopes for the week of July 21 to July 27, 2025

♈ Aries (March 21 – April 19)

You’ll swear this is the week to get serious about prepping for fall. Then you’ll go “scouting” with binoculars and a cold drink from the shade of a hammock. It’s July… give yourself a break.

♉ Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

A solo mission to fillet a cooler of bluegills turns into a three-hour meditation on the limits of patience. But they’ll taste like victory.

♊ Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

Halfway through setting up a portable fan in your tent, you’ll wonder what happened to your backwoods grit. The answer: the summer and middle-age happened to it.

♋ Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

You’ll offer to take the neighbor kid fishing and immediately regret giving them a push-button reel. Prepare for tangles, snack breaks, … and a surprisingly wholesome time.

♌ Leo (July 23 – August 22)

Your hunting dog has decided it’s too hot for discipline. He’ll half-fetch a bumper, then lay down in the lake like he’s on vacation. Follow his lead.

♍ Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

A crisp rub line and fresh tracks will catch your attention during a mid-summer hike. Resist the urge to hang a stand. Just mark the waypoint and try to act normal.

♎ Libra (September 23 – October 22)

After insisting your family picnic would be “screen-free,” your kids accuse you of caving by hour two. Watching a forward-facing sonar doesn’t count as screen time, right? Right?!

♏ Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

The stars encourage you to stalk that reliable, shady bass hole this week. Old bucketmouth awaits.

♐ Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

Beware mocking muskie anglers in July. A 48-inch muskellunge following a topwater bass bait to within inches of a boat can immediately transform even the calmest of fishermen into fan-casting, variable-retrieving, figure-eighting fiends.

♑ Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)

While walking the trail near dusk, you’ll spot what you think is a cougar. It’s not. It’s a golden retriever with a headlamp. But the adrenaline was real.

♒ Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)

Your retriever will ignore a dummy but instinctively point a frog. The dog’s confused. You’re confused. The frog splits.

♓ Pisces (February 19 – March 20)

A lakeside thunderstorm will send your group scrambling for cover. In the rush, someone saves the beverages but not the sandwiches. That someone is you. No regrets.
