#275 - Weekly Energy Update for July 9, 2023: Pitta Dosha, Mars in Virgo, and Mercury in Leo

Four of the warmest days on record for our planet occurred this week. All this heat affects our energy, especially our Ayurvedic Pitta Dosha. Pitta, our internal fire, is amplified by heat, which can upset the pitta's delicate balance. When it's out of balance, it might manifest as burnout, irritation, anxiety, and even anger. It can also cause rashes, heartburn, and hot flashes.
Eating sweet, juicy fruits like melons and peaches can help us balance our Pitta, which is vital for our physical and mental wellness. Limit foods that are spicy, salty, greasy, and fried. The good news is that dairy soothes pitta. Eat the ice cream!
Although the hard-working, get things done, and give our lives some structure energy from the fantastic Full Moon last week is still with us, there are a few energy shifts taking place this week.
The first one occurs when Mars enters Virgo on Monday, July 10th. This transit brings a big boost of energy. We are more productive and feel more motivated. This is the motivation you've been looking for to get going if you've been feeling unmotivated or lethargic. 
Then, on Tuesday, Mercury enters Leo for the next two weeks. When Mercury is in Leo, we have more confidence and think bigger. The focus is on our goals, and the bigger they are, the better.
We've reached the point in our life when we get to focus on the important things like our purpose and living an authentic life. Right now, the minor details don't matter as much. 
We must always keep in mind that we are at the right place at the right time. Everything is working out perfectly even if it may not seem like it. The universe is conspiring in our favor. Prioritizing rest and relaxation will help you maintain the right place/right time energy you'll need to balance all the effort you'll be putting out this week.

#274 -Weekly Energy Update for July 2, 2023: Full Buck Moon in Capricorn

July begins with a Super Moon! It’s the first of three Super Moons in a row, the next two are in August. This is the Full Buck Moon and the first Full Moon of Summer.
The full moon's energy depends on the sign it's in, and this one is in Capricorn. Full moons are all about letting go, whereas Capricorn is all about hard work and striving for success despite all obstacles. The energy of this Full Moon is about focusing on our careers, long-term goals, and our achievements.
Capricorn Energy emphasizes responsibility and the need for structure. This moon is shining a spotlight on the places in our life where we need more structure. If we look at where we’ve been feeling stuck in our lives, that’s the place we can use more structure. This moon is truly a gift to help us get unstuck. 
Keep in mind that we’re still in Cancer season. Cancer energy encourages us to stay home and rest which at first seems to clash with the active forward-moving, hard-working energy of Capricorn. 
But this is the perfect balance of energy. This moon and Cancer season help us slow down, enjoy the moment, and remember the important things in life. This balances out all the Capricorn energy of planning, organizing, and hard work we’ll be doing.
This is one of the best full Moons energetically in 2023 due to the placements of other planets and the Star Sirius. Every year during the first week of July, the sun and Sirius align and when they do it opens this sacred portal of high vibrating energy. 
Sirius is 23 times brighter than our Sun and is referred to as our "Spiritual Sun" and helps in raising our spiritual awareness. Its energy helps us release our limitations and whatever is holding us back. Sirius multiplies the energy of this full moon illuminating where we’ve been stuck so that we can move forward and turn our goals and dreams into reality.

#273 - Overcoming People Pleasing with Heidi Gustafson

Do you try to please everyone? When you're young, being told to be nice, be a good girl, and put others before yourself can make you a people-pleaser. Saying yes to everything is a common trait among people pleasers, which may result in resentment and anger. Because they prioritize the wants and needs of others over their own, people pleasers lack self-awareness and don't know what they want or like. 
In this podcast, Hypnotist and Mindset Coach Heidi Gustafson explains how trying to please other people can lead to perfectionism and living an unauthentic life. Learn how hypnosis is the best way to help you overcome people pleasing and live a more authentic life. 
Heidi Gustafson is a Board-Certified Hypnotist and Mindset Coach, who teaches others the techniques and tools she used to go from being a people pleasing, procrastinating, perfectionist to a woman who sets healthy boundaries, knows what she values, and lives life by HER parameters, not by what her past or society tells her she should. She teaches how our thoughts, stories, and beliefs create our everyday reality, and how if you’re not getting what you want in life, it’s not because THEY or IT need to change. The change needs to come from you. It’s an inside job.

#272 - Weekly Energy Update for June 25, 2023: Neptune Retrograde and July Numerology

Neptune, the planet of illusions and fantasy, goes retrograde in Pisces this week, helping us to understand ourselves and gain clarity. This is the perfect moment to reevaluate our lives and get clear about what we truly want.
Since Neptune is the planet that can lead to confusion and uncertainty, when it goes retrograde, we experience clarity instead of confusion and uncertainty. If you’ve been struggling to see things clearly, the fog lifts over the following five months of Neptune's retrograde. 
Neptune is the planet of spirituality, and its retrograde strengthens our intuition and connection to the universe. We may feel more drawn to mystical experiences, meditation, and spiritual practices. This is the time to attend a drumming circle, take a sound bath, or try something new to deepen your spirituality.
Our creativity is at its peak during Neptune retrograde, especially when it comes to music, writing, and the arts. Now is the time to begin writing that book, learn to paint, and pick up a guitar or set of drums.  Neptune's retrograde brings us a spark of inspiration.
July is a 5 universal month in Numerology. Five months are the perfect time to be adventurous and shake things up. The month of July is perfect for breaking old habits and getting unstuck. The number 5 is restless and adventurous. It doesn’t do boring and wants variety and excitement in life. It also sparks new ideas, solutions, and clarity.
Even while it may appear that not much is happening right now on the outside, there is a ton going on within. We are becoming clear about what we genuinely want and the next steps to take. Give yourself this time; the rest of the year will thank you.

#270 - Weekly Energy Update for June 18, 2023: Summer Solstice and Cancer Season

The Summer Solstice, on Wednesday, is the main event this week. For millennia, people have held celebrations, rituals, and gatherings in celebration of the summer solstice. Ancient civilizations erected buildings that coincide with the solstice, such as Stonehenge and Machu Picchu. The solstice is a time of renewal, growth, and abundance. 
The summer solstice is a cosmic invitation to step into the spotlight of your own life. It’s a moment when the universe supports your personal growth and transformation. 
This year's solstice is extraordinary due to a special connection between the sun and the north node of fate. These are two of the most crucial placements in astrology when it comes to fulfilling your life’s purpose. When the sun and north node align, as they will with 2023’s summer solstice, it’s a sign from the universe to bet on yourself.
The solstice is also when the sun enters Cancer and the start of Cancer season. Cancer season brings nurturing, homebody energy as we move away from the busy, social vibes of Gemini season. It’s all about heart and home and it’s the ideal moment to mother yourself and others. This is cosmic mama energy!
The Sun is associated with active yang energy. The contradiction is that Cancer is ruled by the emotional moon and rules the receptive yin energy. This makes it the perfect time to consider how we can balance the yin and yang in our lives. Where are you able to be a bit kinder?  Where could you yang it up and be more decisive and take action?
The solstice is like our cosmic reset button. This is our opportunity to hit the reset button and get back in balance!

#269 - Weekly Energy Update for June 4, 2023: Sagittarius Full Moon and Venus in Leo

June is one of the most positive months of the year. The intense eclipse season and Mercury retrograde are behind us, so this month's energy shift brings in a new and exciting beginning to our next chapter.
Since connections with others are a major feature this month, it is appropriate that June is named after the Roman goddess Juno, who was the patroness of marriage and love. June's energy links us to others in heart-centered ways since it straddles both the caring Cancer season and the sociable Gemini season. We want to socialize with others, spend time with friends, go on dates, and find love.
On June 5th, when Venus, the planet of love, moves into the fire sign Leo, this love energy truly comes to life. This is the perfect energy for falling and being in love this summer.
And we are still basking in the optimistic energy of Saturday night’s full moon in Sagittarius. 
Full moons are a time of release. We’re releasing our outdated versions. We’re releasing ways of thinking and being that we’ve outgrown. This full moon is about looking back on where we were six months ago and how far we’ve come. And to think about the future and consider what’s next.
With the help of this full moon, we can let go of the version of ourselves from six months ago and step into our new identity. This full moon is preparing us for our next quest. We are getting rid of items that won't fit in our baggage or backpack as we prepare for the quest. We're releasing things that won't be needed on the journey.
This full moon gives us the confidence to move forward. We feel so optimistic about the future and where we’re going!

#268 - Weekly Energy Update for May 28, 2023: Full Moon in Sagittarius

These final few days of May are special. The Sun crosses the star Aldebaran every year between May 28 and May 31. Aldebaran is one of the Four Royal Stars. The Royal Stars serve as both the guardians of the sky and gateways to higher realms of consciousness. When the Sun activates Aldebaran it sharpens our minds. This energy is sweet, sweet medicine for our mental health.
We begin the abundant and happy month of June this week. According to numerology, June is a 4 universal month. A four month is about laying the groundwork for the future. We’re building the base and foundation for this next chapter of our life.
On Saturday, June 3rd, we feel uplifted by a Full Moon in Sagittarius. This is the last full moon of spring and it’s known as the Strawberry Moon. The Strawberry Moon is a symbol of good luck, happiness, and growth. And serves as a reminder that there will always be better days ahead no matter what difficulties we face in life.
Sagittarius is an optimistic sign that only wants to focus on the positives. This Full Moon is much lighter than the ones we’ve experienced recently. It holds a playful vibe, reminding us to make time for fun, joy, and adventure. Step out of your comfort zone and try some new things. 
Unlike a New Moon, which is about starting something new, the Full Moon is about reflecting on what we planted six months ago, and how it’s coming to fruition. It gets us to think about what comes next. Sagittarius inspires us to look into the future toward our biggest goals and set our path toward them.

#267 - Weekly Energy Update for May 21, 2023: Gemini Season

Gemini season has arrived! Now we’re back to reality. Eclipse season is over making life a little more predictable and we begin to feel more optimistic. We're more outgoing and sociable and will want to go out with our friends and have fun. 
Gemini is represented by the twins. The twins represent our body and soul, one twin being mortal and the other immortal. The immortal twin serves as a reminder that our soul is eternal and that we are spiritual beings, while the mortal twin serves as a reminder that life is fleeting and that we are here to enjoy a physical experience.
To be our full selves, we must step fully into both. This Gemini season helps us bring the two into balance and restore our equilibrium after the wild ride we’ve experienced the past few months.
Right now we need to lighten up and have fun to get back into balance. Geminis don’t take themselves too seriously. They love to laugh and have fun. It’s time to shake off the fuddy-duddy and welcome the new.
Gemini season is also an excellent time to slim down. We’ve had some heavy energies lately and to hold those energies you may have put on a little weight. Losing weight is easier than usual now because the energies are lighter.
We get some help moving forward and getting our projects off the ground with powerful Mars in Leo energy. There's no stopping us when Mars, the planet of power and action is in the enthusiastic sign of Leo. We get a major boost of self-confidence, and we become more determined and optimistic. Mars is Leo is the burst of energy we’ve been waiting for!

#266 - Weekly Energy Update for May 14, 2023: Jupiter in Taurus and New Moon in Taurus

This week marks a turning point. Mercury Retrograde ends on the 14th although we'll still be in the retroshade energy for the next couple of weeks.
This space between Mercury retrograde and Mercury direct is the time to reflect on what’s happened over the past month. We are now processing what we have gone through. And as a result of all this processing, this is frequently a time when we make significant life choices.
We get some help implementing these life-changing decisions when Jupiter, the planet of abundance and wisdom, enters Taurus for the first time in 12 years. Jupiter in Taurus helps things grow. Our new lives start to grow. We’re gradually moving into our new ways of being. 
We could not possibly have better energy than this right now. This is the perfect moment to start new things, even if you are unsure about how they will pan out. This is a seed-planting moment. We are growing something beautiful and long-lasting. 
Do you know what else is growing? Our money! Jupiter in Taurus brings good fortune. Investments pay off and we receive expected pleasant surprises. This is a great time to start a business or a new job. 
The first lunar cycle since the start of Eclipse Season occurs on Friday with the New Moon in Taurus. The chaotic and transformative energies of the Eclipses start to calm down and fade into the background.
This New Moon grounds and stabilizes us, which feels great after all the chaotic energies of the Eclipse season. We have been through a lot of change, and taking some time to ground and rebalance ourselves helps us reconnect to a state of ease.
