#396 - Weekly Energy Update for August 3-10: 8/8 Lion's Gate Portal

✨ Energy Shift This WeekWe’re in the final week of Mercury retrograde (hallelujah!), and this week things begin to shift.  On August 6th, Mars enters Libra for a six-week stay, bringing much-needed rebalancing energy. Mars is usually about drive and action, but in Libra, it’s about peace, harmony, and cooperation—especially in our relationships. Expect things to smooth out and feel lighter as we return to inner balance. 💫
🌕 Full Moon + Lion’s Gate PortalThis Saturday, August 9th, we have a powerful full moon in Aquarius—the Sturgeon Moon—bringing themes of abundance and illumination. But what makes this even more potent is that it aligns with the peak of the 8/8 Lion’s Gate Portal, a time when the Sun in Leo aligns with Sirius, our spiritual sun. This opens a high-frequency gateway that beams spiritual energy down to Earth. It’s the time for intention setting, fresh starts, and aligning with your highest self. Think of it as a spiritual new year! 
💫 Release, Reset, RealignThe 8/8 energy, combined with the full moon, helps us release old stories—especially around scarcity, fear, and where we think we should be by now. This is a powerful reset button. If you’ve been feeling stuck, unclear, or holding back, now is your moment to shift. 
🪽 Spirit Realm Is CloserDuring the Lion’s Gate Portal, the veil between worlds gets thin. That means stronger connection with your spirit guides, angels, ancestors, and even loved ones who’ve passed. You might notice more synchronicities, vivid dreams, or signs like feathers, numbers, or songs that feel too perfect to be random. These are messages.
🌟 Big Week, Bigger Energy AheadSo yes—this week is big. Mars in Libra helps us rebalance, the Aquarius full moon brings emotional clarity, and the Lion’s Gate offers the chance to upgrade on a soul level. It’s a time to dream bigger, lead with love, and get back into alignment with who you truly are. Things are lightening up now, and next week? Even better. ✨🙌

#395 - Weekly Energy Update for July 27 - Aug 3

We’re right in the middle of one of the most intense stretches of the year. Four planets (Mercury, Saturn, Neptune, and Pluto) are retrograde, and now Chiron joins the party. Retrograde energy slows everything down so we can pause, reflect, and make changes before moving forward. Chiron retrograde, in particular, stirs up deep emotional and spiritual wounds, not to torture us, but so we can finally heal and move the heck on.
This is your cosmic invitation to slow down, turn inward, and get real about where you are in life without judgment or shame. I felt this energy hard last week when I woke up in the middle of the night knowing I had to change my Spiritual Business class. So I did, adding more mastermind vibes, hands-on work, and shifting dates. That’s what retrograde season is about: adjusting, realigning, and moving forward.
Midweek, things soften 🌸 as Venus moves into Cancer on Wednesday. We’ll crave the company of people who feel like home, deeper emotional connections, and cozy, nurturing spaces. If you’re dating casually, things might naturally get more serious. This is also a perfect time to make your home your sanctuary. Redecorate, rearrange, or simply create comfort so you feel grounded.
On Thursday, Mercury meets the Sun in a Leo Cazimi. ☀️ This is a powerful day in this retrograde cycle. Expect insights, clarity, and messages that help you move forward. Take time to journal, meditate, and listen to what comes through. These moments can be profound, so give yourself the space to receive them.
As we roll into August, we enter an 8 month in numerology 💰 Eight is the number of power, success, and abundance. This is the time to step into leadership, claim your worth, and focus on the money, opportunities, and success you’ve been building toward all year. Everything you do now ripples outward. The world is transforming, but it starts with us. Our growth, courage, and authenticity are what spark the bigger changes we all want to see.

#394 - Weekly Energy Update for July 20 - 27: Leo Season

Time keeps moving, and this week on Tuesday, the 22nd, we shift from the watery flow of Cancer into the fiery, bold energy of Leo and the heart of summer. Leo Season is when everything feels alive and abundant. This is our time to step into the spotlight as the main character of our lives, remembering we’re not just the star—we’re the director, writer, casting agent, and set designer of our story.
This Leo Season comes with a lot of reflection energy, thanks to Mercury retrograde in Leo and three other planets retrograde too. All this retrograde energy is pushing us to review our “life movie.” Are we happy with the story we’re telling? Do we love the setting, the people we’ve cast, the plot, and even how we’ve written our own character? Or is it time to rewrite the script into something more joyful, abundant, and magical?
It might not feel easy right now. The second half of July through August 6 is intense—maybe the most challenging stretch of the year. But hang in there, because the energy softens soon. Starting August 6th, a Grand Water Trine brings a wave of ease and everything will flow more smoothly. Relief is just around the corner.
We also have a New Moon in Leo on Thursday, the 24th. This moon reminds us that the highest vibration of Leo is simplicity. Like the lion, we don’t need to prove or push, we can just be. This New Moon invites us to strip away the noise, release control (especially the control we put on ourselves), and reconnect with what’s real and essential. It’s a powerful reset point to step into a new chapter with confidence and clarity.
With this New Moon, all the retrogrades, and Uranus shaking things up in Gemini, the universe is basically handing us a pause button. It’s saying, “Reflect. Rethink. Reset.” We’re in a 9 year, a year of endings and beginnings, and after all the shifts we’ve been through, it’s time to consciously create what’s next. This Leo Season, let’s own every part of our story and direct our lives like the epic, soul-aligned blockbusters they’re meant to be.

#393 - Weekly Energy Update for July 13-20: Mercury & Saturn Retrograde

🌌 Retrograde Season Is in Full Swing! Saturn goes retrograde today, Sunday the 13th, and Mercury follows on Friday the 18th—joining Pluto and Neptune, who are already in retrograde. With four major planets appearing to move backward, this is a powerful moment to pause, reflect, and do a deep energetic clean-up. It’s review season, not launch season—so don’t push forward. Instead, focus on realignment and inner work. ✨
🪐 Saturn in Aries = Life Review & Karma CheckSaturn retrograde is your cosmic gut-check. Are you happy with your life? If not, this is the moment to make some changes. Saturn in Aries pushes us to step into personal responsibility and reset our direction. And because it’s paired with Neptune retrograde in Aries, a combo we haven’t seen since the 1870s, it’s triggering a massive identity shift. Who are you really? That’s what this summer is here to reveal. 💫
🔥 Aries Energy = Identity, Anger & AwakeningAries rules identity and anger, so don’t be surprised if you're feeling frustrated or lost. It’s not a breakdown—it’s an awakening. If you’ve been chasing goals out of ego or survival, burnout may hit hard. The universe is asking you to realign with your soul. Many of us will see this play out in our work. What used to work just isn’t anymore—and it’s time to build something better, rooted in authenticity, not hustle. 🌿
📉 Mercury Retrograde in Leo = Slow Down & RecalibrateMercury joins the retrograde party on Friday the 18th. Expect tech glitches, delays, and old lovers popping up. This retrograde is here to help us recalibrate, not punish us. Since it’s happening in Leo, hold off on big changes to your appearance. 
💛 The Summer of TruthThis is a season of deep reflection and soul realignment. It may feel emotional, but it’s exactly what we need to return to our spiritual practices, reset our minds, and refresh our lives. Let go of what no longer fits. Align with your truth. This retrograde energy is clearing space for something more real. Be gentle with yourself and trust that everything unfolding is guiding you to a life that feels more you. This is the Summer of Truth, for your life, your purpose, and our world. 🌞🕊️

#392 - Weekly Energy Update for July 6-13

Uranus moves into Gemini on 7/7. This huge cosmic shift marks a collective and personal turning point. Uranus is the planet of shock, disruption, and breakthroughs, and it hasn’t been in Gemini since 1942. Back then, the world was at war, and technology was transforming communication. Sound familiar? Swap radio for AI, and we’re living in a modern version of that energy. Buckle up—this transit brings fast-moving change and radical awakenings. ⚡🌀
Uranus in Gemini accelerates everything: how we think, communicate, and connect. It also intensifies division and duality, pushing us to challenge old beliefs and open our minds. And because it’s happening on 7/7, a day of spiritual awakening and divine alignment, it’s not just change, it’s evolution. You may feel like old parts of your identity or life are rapidly crumbling. That’s not failure - it’s transformation. 🌈🔮
This energy asks us to surrender. Holding on to what was will only make the shift harder. You don’t need to have it all figured out. Just stay grounded, open, and in your truth. These are quantum leap vibes, and we rarely feel ready when the leap arrives. Your soul work now is to stay balanced, so you can rise into what’s next. 🧘‍♀️🌟
And there’s more! On Thursday, 7/10, we’ve got a Capricorn Full Moon. The Buck Moon is a time of growth, responsibility, and realignment. If Uranus is the wake-up call, this Full Moon is solid ground. It’s here to help you step into your power, take ownership, and make bold, clear choices for your life. No bypassing. No hiding. 💼🔥
Let this week be the beginning of your next chapter. You were made for this moment. Let Uranus shake things up, let the Full Moon ground you, and let your soul take the lead. We’re not just watching history unfold—we are the unfolding. It’s all happening now. 💫🌕🚀

#391 - Weekly Energy Update for June 29 - July 6

Welcome to July—a powerful pivot point in the year! Think of it as a transition month, and with every transition comes a chance for growth, especially spiritual growth. In numerology, July is a 7 Universal Month, which means it’s time to slow down, reflect, and tune in. When you combine this 7 energy with the 9 Universal Year we’re in, you get a major hermit mode vibe, quiet, introspective, and full of soul-searching.
🔮 Retrograde CityWe start the month with Pluto retrograde and end it with five planets retrograde: Pluto, Neptune, Saturn, Chiron, and Mercury. That’s a lot of cosmic review energy! These retrogrades are nudging us to ask the big questions: Who am I? What’s my purpose? What needs to shift? This energy can feel a little foggy (thanks, Neptune), but it’s also the perfect time for a reset. Slow down and let the clarity come through stillness.
💫 Neptune & Saturn Retrogrades in AriesOn July 4th, Neptune goes retrograde in Aries for the first time in over 150 years! This kicks off a deep spiritual identity check. Are you who you think you are—or who you’re meant to be? A few days later, Saturn joins the retrograde party (also in Aries), adding structure and realness to that dreamy Neptunian energy. These two together can feel heavy, so give yourself plenty of downtime. Rest is productive this month!
💖 Venus in Gemini = Lightness & AbundanceAlso on July 4th, Venus moves into Gemini bringing playful, flirty, abundant vibes. This is the bright, bubbly energy we need to balance the retrograde intensity. You’ll crave variety, connection, and new ideas, especially in love 💕 and money 💰. It's a great time to make empowered money decisions and to learn something new. And if you’re a Gemini? Get ready to shine—this transit makes you extra magnetic.
🌈 How to Ride the WavesWith such up-and-down energy, having a spiritual plan this month is everything. One minute you’re on top of the world, the next you’re questioning everything. That’s okay! Build in time for journaling, breathwork, meditating, or even trying something new like reiki, a sound bath, or a float tank. Let this be the month you let go of outdated ideas about who you’re supposed to be—and fully step into who you really are. ✨

Astrology is Wild This YearPluto in Aquarius, Saturn and Neptune in Aries, the Lunar Nodes shifting into Pisces/Virgo, and soon Uranus moving into Gemini—all point to radical change, spiritual awakening, and a collective reset. We’re in the “birth canal” of a whole new era.

#388 - Weekly Energy Update for June 15-22: Summer Solstice and Cancer Season

🌞 The Summer Solstice is HereSummer officially begins on Friday, June 20th with the solstice, one of the most powerful and spiritually significant days of the year. It’s been honored for over 5,000 years by ancient civilizations all over the world. From Stonehenge to the Pyramids, the solstice has always marked a sacred turning point. Energetically, it’s like the universe shines a giant spotlight on our lives, revealing what’s working, what’s not, and where we might need to realign.
🌀 We Feel the ShiftEven if we don’t consciously realize it, our bodies and energy respond to the changes in sunlight. We feel more energized, upbeat, and motivated. That’s why this time is so ideal for reflection, rest, and realignment. The solstice invites us to pause and reassess all areas of life—and gives us the light and clarity to do so.
🎯 Time to Set Powerful IntentionsThe solstice is one of the best times of the year to set intentions. Intentions aren’t wishes—they’re declarations. Instead of saying “I hope,” we say “I am.” For example, “I am attracting more money,” or “I am prioritizing my well-being.” This kind of clarity sends a strong message to the universe and helps align everything to support your vision.
🌊 Welcome to Cancer SeasonWith the solstice comes the start of Cancer season—a nurturing, emotional, and intuitive time. Cancer energy brings us home, helping us reconnect with what feels safe, sacred, and true. This is the season to take extra good care of yourself—cook comforting meals, spend time with loved ones, create a cozy home space, and listen to your intuition. This year, Jupiter is also in Cancer, bringing even more expansive, loving energy to support emotional, creative, and personal growth.
🧹 Mars in Virgo = Get It Together EnergyAlso this week, Mars moves into Virgo bringing motivation! This practical, organized energy is perfect for tackling to-do lists, decluttering your home, and setting up new wellness routines. The combination of the solstice's clarity and Mars in Virgo’s action makes this a perfect time to make meaningful changes and reset for the second half of the year.

#387 - Weekly Energy Update for June 8-15: Strawberry Full Moon

It’s a big, beautiful week! 💫 I’m celebrating my 61st birthday (yay!) with my biggest sale ever — 61% off all my shizzle and the universe is showing up to party too! Mercury just moved into Cancer, helping us quiet the overthinking and tap into our intuition, and Jupiter moves into Cancer on Monday, bringing a whole year of growth, comfort, and emotional connection. Yes, please!
Jupiter in Cancer is one of the sweetest, most supportive astrological pairings. Think: cozy vibes, stronger relationships, deeper self-care, and feeling safe and held. Cancer energy focuses on home, family, and protection, like a big mama bear taking care of us. 🐻 Don’t be surprised if you start feeling the urge to nest, nurture, or finally make your house feel like a sanctuary.
Then on Wednesday, we get the gorgeous Full Strawberry Moon, which is the energetic boost we didn’t even know we needed. After the heavy energy of April and May, this moon is a portal back to joy and expansion. It's the “why am I waiting for permission to live my life?” kind of energy. Say yes to your dreams; big trips, bold moves, juicy romance, this moon supports it all.
This full moon is extra special because it’s part of a major lunar standstill, something that only happens every 18.6 years. That means the moon will rise super low on the horizon (it’ll look HUGE and golden — super photogenic 🌕). Emotionally, this moon packs a punch too, it stirs up intuition, spiritual insight, and a sense that time itself feels magical and meaningful.
To top it all off, Jupiter makes powerful squares to both Saturn and Neptune at the end of the week. It’s a cosmic setup for manifesting and where dreams meet reality. ✨ We can turn our dreams (Neptune) into reality (Saturn), and abundant Jupiter helps us do that! This is your moment to believe it’s possible and take steps toward it. Soak in all this nourishing, inspiring energy — it’s a week full of hope, healing, and forward movement.
