Missed Part 1 of the July Numerology & Astrology Forecast? Listen now.
Beginning July 13th, Saturn Retrograde in Aries initiates a slow, introspective phase that focuses on maturity, responsibility, and practical action, prompting us to re-evaluate our foundations. It highlights the divine masculine as an inclusive force of drive and secure presence, emphasizing authentic, organic flow over rigid control.
From July 18th to August 11th, Mercury Retrograde in Leo will dampen external creative expression and soften the ego's voice. While Leo typically "roars," this retrograde encourages a more subtle, heart-centered approach to self-expression. It's a time for revision, not launching new projects, allowing you to refine how you genuinely share your light.
As the Sun enters Leo on July 22nd, a desire for playfulness emerges. Embrace this summertime fun vibe with enjoyable activities that balance your masculine and feminine energies.
The New Moon in Leo on July 24th at 3:11 PM ET calls for stillness and amplifying your light from within. It signifies a rebirth of authentic self-expression, shifting your energy towards presence over performance. Use this time to set intentions for showing up unapologetically and reclaiming joy as a sacred practice.
Chiron Retrograde begins July 30th in Aries, surfacing wounds around identity, ego, anger, and rage. Chiron, the wounded healer, reminds us that sharing our deepest traumas can lead to healing for ourselves and others.
Chiron's conjunction with Asteroid Ares brings divine discord to reveal truth and force issues to a head. This period is about being forged by fire, stripping away old layers to birth your divine warrior. Reclaim your sacred rage—allowing passion and anger to flow through you honorably, without directing it at others.
This is a beautiful time to reorient your core power. What does presence feel like to you? What are you truly present for, and what is your presence radiating? Your gift lies in the present moment.

Speaker 1 (00:08):
Hi everyone, It's Amanda Rika Green. Welcome to Soul Sessions.
Thank you for joining me today. I am glad you're here.
July is such an immense month, and this is the
second part of the July Energy Forecast. Before we dive
in and explore what is unfolding throughout the remainder of
(00:33):
this month and beyond, I have a special announcement. This
is a potent energy and a potent time to gather.
July invites us into a tender reckoning, bringing karmic tides
and soulful recalibrations. The upcoming Capricorn full moon offers a
(00:55):
clear container to come home and attune to your inner
architecture gently together in the field. If you've been feeling
the pull to slow down, soften and remember who you
are at the root level, this is your invitation. I'm
(01:16):
hosting a free live full moon ceremony on Thursday, July
tenth at seven pm Central Standard Time on Zoom. This
is something I haven't offered in a long time to
the public and as a community, and I may not
do it again. I'm playing in the energy field and
(01:37):
wanting to harness this energy together in thirty minutes that
we spend together in sacred community. We will clear the noise,
recalibrate your energy field, and anchor into the deeper truth
of your soul's next season. It will be sacred potent,
and you're all welcome. Be sure to check out the
(02:01):
show notes the description in the podcast for a link
to register. If you are curious about this event or
looking for sacred community to attune your field, I hope
to see you there. Now let's dive into Part two
of the July Energy Forecast. Definitely listen to part one
(02:22):
because part one gives you the overarching theme energetically for
the month. I dive deep into the numerology and also
the major astrological influence, which really is Saturn and Neptune.
It is those two planets coming so close to a
(02:42):
conjunction and both of them retrograding. That theme really overwhelms
the energy of July. So all the other things that
are happening, which are pretty big, it's almost like their
secondary roles and the minor influences, and again they're not minor,
(03:03):
they're pretty major, but that energy theme is so astounding
that it can convolute things or drive the bus, so
to speak. So definitely marinate on that I would review
it and re listen to it. And it's funny when
I share this with you, all I do these things.
(03:24):
I go back, I listen, re listen because I hear
things differently, puzzle pieces start to come back together. And
sometimes I listen to my own podcast. I actually listen
to them quite a bit. Sometimes I cringe, other times
I'm delighted in what I hear, and I hear the
information that I share and take it to heart myself.
(03:45):
But I also do that with other people that I
follow or find really speak to my soul. I listen
and re listen, integrate and reintegrate. But that's how I learn.
It's also a love language of my soul, that listening.
It's kind of the cadence of the vibration and being
in that energy helps my synapses to fire and wire
(04:08):
in a certain way. And I know so many of
you out there feel that way. You've shared that with me,
and it makes my heart saying when you share that
feedback with me, that you feel that and you learn
and synthesize the same way or in similar ways that
I do. So with this second half of July, we've
(04:30):
got a handful of things happening, and it's gonna kick off,
and I'm going to start around July thirteenth, which followed
the Capricorn full moon, which I went through in the
last podcast. Saturn will retrograde at like one and a
half degrees of aries, nearly two degrees of aries, so
(04:51):
it's not quite at that two degree mark, but it's
right there. Saturn station's retrograde on the thirteenth. What I
shared is that both Saturn and Neptune that are retrograding,
we feel this as we enter July, and we feel
it throughout July. So it's not a one and done
(05:13):
energy because these planets are large, they're far out, they're
slow moving, so it's like a slow burn, a slow pause,
it's a drawn out circumstance. It just is is the
way that it feels. So just know that the date
that it occurs is July thirteenth, and as Saturn retrogrades,
(05:37):
and remember that Saturn is about maturity, responsibility, it's about framework,
it's about practical tangible action, duty, leadership, legacy, destiny. It's
highly masculine, and it's masculine in a very linear and
(05:58):
practical and earth bound way. And also in a divine
masculine way. So to me, this retrograde phase signifies a
connection with the divine masculine. And we talk about, or
at least in spiritual circles and communities, the divine feminine
(06:18):
is thrown around left and right, connecting with divine feminine
energy and coming back into our innate intuition and wisdom
and healer energy, mother energy. That gets discussed quite a bit,
but there's divine masculine energy too, And I think sometimes
(06:40):
when we look at some of the disentanglement of the patriarchy,
and we look at patriarchal society and formulation, and then
we think about women's rights and women's movements, those things
are very linear, they're very three dimensional. They have played
out in our personal lives and through our lineage, our
(07:02):
ancestry on the world stage for eons. But we are
moving into higher levels of consciousness, which is this beautiful
dance and confluence of divine masculine and divine feminine. And
the divine masculine is not ruling over patriarchal, condescending stern like,
(07:26):
it doesn't have that father figure image to it. It
is more inclusive and it creates a safe guard, a
safe haven. It's almost elusive for me to define it,
but I know when I think when I see divine
masculine imagery and influence within myself, it's a lot of
(07:51):
it has been in removing force, because masculine energy is extroverted,
it's penetrating, it's external, and there's this element of drive
and success and ambition and force in masculine energy. And
we need that energy just as much as we need
the yen, the receptive, and the feminine attributes of energy.
(08:14):
But the divine masculine moves externally organically without force. And
I've shared this with you all before, but I've been
practicing the removal of force and you know what it
makes me think about. It makes me think about Star Wars.
You know, being in the force field, be the force,
(08:36):
and it's about being at one with the energy of force,
which is very organic. And again, I know I'm being
a bit elusive in my description because it's like a
sacred dance or a sacred action removing that force. And
if I were to explain that with a practical example,
(08:58):
I know that when I sit down down to the
computer and I have tasks on my plate to do,
whether it's responding to emails, scheduling, you know, accomplishing administrative task.
And I sit down and my body language feels kind
of hunched over, small crunchy, like I've got to get
(09:18):
this done. I need to get these next things done.
It's very box checking. Energy is the way I know
to articulate it to you. But I can feel it
in my body, and there's it's like my shoulders are
hunched over, I'm crouched down, I'm typing, I'm trying to
get things done. It feels forceful. It feels forced. It
feels like I am doing it with resistance rather than
(09:41):
with ease. So when I feel that energy, a lot
of times I recognize that I'm making things harder for myself,
or I'm choosing a more forceful path. And sometimes I
can't just flip the switch to remove the force and
be organic and light and easy, breezy. But what I
(10:04):
will do is I will literally roll my shoulders back.
I will open and close my jaw. I might roll
my neck around, I might take a few breaths. I
might shake my hands out and shake my face a
little bit. I've been shaking my face a lot lately.
I've been like moving limph and shaking you know, energy
(10:24):
out of my face because it feels really good.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Actually, But when.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
I recognize my body feeling forceful and crunchy and my
mind and my energy feel that way, I will do
something simply within the realignment of my body to move
that force energy out so I can come in more easy,
(10:49):
more organic and emitting energy versus forcing energy. So hopefully
that awareness of when you get tight, when you get crunchy,
when you get salty in your body and in your
energy field, noticing it and move your physical body a
(11:09):
bit so you can approach whatever is on your plate
or at hand with an easier stance, an easier presence
that is not necessarily weakened or lighter, but is more radiant.
So there's a radiance to divine masculinity. That's probably a
(11:32):
good word to attribute it to. So as Saturn retrogrades
and aries, remember aries is about individuality, about courage and boldness.
There's this element of pulling our energy inward and reforging something,
(11:52):
reforging aspects of our identity to incorporate that into our
presence and our persona are being, and Saturn will be
retrograde for a hot minute. It's going to be retrograde
through the fall, so you got a little bit of
time to play with this energy. But Saturn is starting
(12:14):
to redefine our impulses, our inner urges, our instincts, essentially,
so it may feel like your energy or your individuality
is subdued or diluted a bit. Don't be afraid of that,
Like if you feel come let's say August, because you'll
(12:36):
really feel some of this strongly in July. But then
when it kind of stabilizes, for lack of better words,
because there's nothing real stabilizing about this, but when it
grounds in or stabilizes a little bit, you may feel
a little lost in your identity or that ways you've
(12:57):
been showing up in your day to day life are
starting to feel uncomfortable or misaligned in some sort of way.
Explore that instead of beating up on yourself or judging
yourself or just taking that at face value. Takes some
(13:17):
time to contemplate it.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
It's also a.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Time where forging ahead will be delayed. It's not a
big charge ahead time. When Saturn retrogrades, it's a redefining time.
It is a time to review, reflect, and It's also
because Saturn is about responsibility. Responsibility really turns inward and
(13:45):
I think there is no better, more clearly empowered transit
astrological transit than Saturn retrograding in areas to define personal
responsibility and something I was taught a long time ago,
(14:06):
and this really focuses around control. The only thing I
truly have control over is my attitude, actions and behaviors.
So this is the phase where I will think about
what I am personally responsible for my attitude, my actions,
and my behaviors, and my attitude check is number one.
(14:30):
And that's what I want to encourage you all to
think about during Saturn retrograde in ares is check your
attitude and check your motives. Start with your attitude. Am
I coming at it with a just a bad attitude,
a joyful attitude or a benign attitude? Check your attitude
(14:52):
and really ask yourself, is this the attitude that is
true to me right now? Is it the one I
want to have? I want to approach this circumstance or
relationship or struggle with this attitude?
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Or do I.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Want to have a different attitude and outlook? And you
get to choose, but just become aware of your attitude
and how that impacts your energy field. Yes, your behaviors
and your actions, but think about how your attitude impacts
your energy field. And the example I just shared with
you all about when I feel in that force of
(15:32):
I've got to get this done, I've got to type
this stuff out, I got to respond to these people.
And I always say, it's like when I am just
box checking through life, checking a box, checking a box,
rather than intentionally moving through life. I enjoy intentionally moving
through life versus box checking. It becomes more easy, more fluid, synchronistic,
(15:54):
and delightful than administratively approaching my life. And so I
have become more aware of that. And of course I'm
a human, so I default into the human doing all
the time. But this retrograde is helping us to become
more of our human being self. Also thinking about boundaries
(16:19):
around yourself and the boundaries you are reformulating, because this
is such an empowered transit to acknowledge the boundaries you
have either already established or that need to be established,
or boundaries that may need to be redefined or reinforced.
(16:40):
So think about boundaries and not just verbal or personal boundaries.
Innergetic boundaries. And I have shared with you multiple times
how important I believe energetic boundaries to be. They have
become extremely important for me in the way that I
(17:04):
recognize when my energetic boundaries are not strong and fortified,
my physical body takes a toll. And what I mean
by that is it's not about me putting up a
shield or being super protective around my energy field. That's
not the attitude I approach. I infiltrate my energy field
(17:28):
with light, intelligence, love, healing, empowerment, whatever comes to me
that is of a higher vibrational attribute. That's what I
infuse my energy field with. And I do it often,
especially I do it one to one, but I do
it a lot in public places and even in small
(17:52):
groups because I have found myself to be extremely energetically susceptible.
And what takes the toll is my physical health and
well being. And my body has started to scream louder
when my energetic boundaries are not fortified and strong, and
also when I am in around people, places and circumstances
(18:16):
that it's not healthy for me to be around because
my body is absorbing too much of someone else's energy
or projection and it is not a judgment on anyone
around me. It's just something that I have noticed. So
I've gone inward quite a bit and not isolated, but
I've been very mindful about my yes and no because
(18:40):
right now my energetic field is upgrading significantly, and so
are many of your energetic fields out there. Whether you
have recognized it or not, something magnificent and also quite
uncomfortable is happening in your energy field. We are inviting
or light into our bodies and this is unprecedented, so
(19:04):
there's no roadmap for it. It's simply attunement and awareness.
It's a feeling of comfort and safety in the physical
body versus disease and discomfort. I think Saturn retrograde will
turn the volume up on this quite a bit in aries.
So pay attention, but recognize if your energy and vitality
(19:28):
and umph and forge ahead mojo feels off and wacky,
your vitality feels a bit depleted, you're feeling the energy
if that shows up for you, and it could be
your hormones, it could be that you had a sick
child all night. It could be those things too.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
I get it.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
I get the reality day to day environmental and life
stuff that happens. But in general, if you're sensing this
lack of vitality or lowered diminished energy, you're not being blocked.
You're being rebuilt. It's almost like scaffolding and infrastructure that
(20:06):
is not sustainable or moldy or faulty foundations are being
basically removed. And that is happening in our energetic body,
in our light body, and in our physical body with
our cells and DNA. So just no, you're not being
blocked or you're not being pushed down. You're being remolded, rebuilt.
(20:27):
And discipline right now and this is like huge, and
this is what has come through so clearly. Discipline right
now means staying with the unraveling. Discipline right now means
staying with the unraveling, the dismantling, not running away from
(20:53):
what is unraveling, unfolding, dismantling, holding space for it as
valuable as we're the and it is uncomfortable. But the
more that I hold space for what's being disentangled within me,
the more like the more comfort starts to come through,
(21:13):
the more truth starts to come through. And it was
really weird the other day. I was I think I
was in pilates but I was breathing and doing my
plates thing, and it was like, as I was breathing,
I was full body breathing, because whatever I was doing
was requiring my full breath obviously, and my.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
Focus and attention.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
But it was like as I was there in my body,
I could see my heart, like literally my heart as
an organ. And I'm not super clairvoyant that way, visual
that way, but I do have that gift and ability.
I know how to exercise it, but it's not my
go to. But it was like I could see my
heart and it looked like all these like cobwebs were
(21:58):
around my heart and like anchoring it down, and the
cobwebs were like breaking one by one, like to free
my heart. And I know that sounds so bizarre and cheesy,
but it was so like I could just picture it
like on a movie screen, like if my heart were
put up on you know, a laparoscopic procedure were put
(22:19):
up on a movie screen of my heart. It was
like all of this web of entanglement was starting to
like break free and my heart was starting to beat true.
And again that may sound cheesy as all get out
to you, but it was such vivid imagery that I
couldn't ignore it. And that's how I feel right now.
(22:41):
And I don't know if that resonates with any of you,
but it's like being unblocked, unbound, So staying with that
energy versus trying to outpace it or outrun it. Well,
guess what happens after Saturn retrogrades our good friend and
good trickster, Mercury, well ratrograde. It's that time of year again.
(23:02):
You know, Mercury retrogrades three or four times a year.
It's not a long phase. We just tend to feel
it a little bit more day to day and drastically.
Because Mercury is so close to Planet Earth. Mercury will
station retrograde July eighteenth at fifteen degrees of Leo, and
(23:23):
mercury will be retrograde in Leo the entire time through
August eleventh. It will station direct August eleventh at four
degrees Leo. So for any of you out there who
are Leo's or have planets in Leo, and you have
planets between four and fifteen degrees Leo, this is going
(23:44):
to impact you more than it impacts all of us.
It'll impact all of us in one way shape or form.
But these are always the things that I look for
in my natal chart. And like with Saturn retrograding, for instance,
Neptune retrograding, do you have planets in aries that are
at you know, anywhere from one to three degrees of
(24:07):
aries or o like me libra one to three degrees
of libra. And of course there's a whole a lot
of other astrological configurations that can be happening here. But
these are things you want to check your natal chart
for to see how these retrogrades and planetary movements are
touching or interacting with your natal chart. So back to
(24:30):
mercury retrograde. Mercury retrograde in Leo is kind of bizarre,
like it's a little bit awkward. I'm gonna say that.
I mean, what astrological influence this month isn't awkward, None
of them. So it's just like it goes with the theme.
It's par for the course this month. Mercury in Leo.
(24:53):
When it is moving direct, which it is right now,
it is expressive and playful, seeking pleasure, loving to be
center stage, embracing its spontaneity and creativity and joy de vive.
It's quick on its feet, it's the performer. I mean,
Mercury and Leo feels good. It feels good to me
(25:17):
as a more kind of introverted, contemplative gal. Mercury and
Leo gives me some extroverted flare and vibe. I love it.
I love to vibe with that. When mercury retrogrades in Leo,
it's like it dampens the creative self expression externally. And
(25:37):
this is not a negative thing or it's really what
is happening is it's beginning to unravel the ego's voice.
It's a softening. So think about this. If Leo is
represented by the lion, what the retrograde phase is doing
(26:00):
is it's softening the need to roar. Think about that.
Let that land for a minute. Instead of having a
really loud, overpowering, overwhelming voice or energy field or display,
it's softening your voice in order to strengthen it, softening
(26:23):
your energy field, fine tuning your communication and self expression.
So it actually amplifies through a softness versus a loud roar.
Think of it that way. And essentially what's happening. Because
Leo is ruled by the Sun, Leo focuses heavily on
(26:47):
the healthy development of ego. But leo is connected with
the heart. When leo is in its greatest expression, it's
not only regal, it is generous and generous because why not,
why not give give of light and love and expression
(27:11):
It gives from the heart. So what this is doing
is it's calling in more light into our heart space,
our self expression through the heart versus our voice and
our demonstrative nature. So it's about not needing to prove something.
(27:31):
It's really about becoming more real, more true. And remember,
with retrograde mercury, it's not the best time to sign
on the dotted line or to launch something. It's a
time to listen, to redefine, rewrite, revise, review, rethink. Mercury
(27:54):
is about thinking and communication. So it's a time of
revision and re revising your creativity, revising your light, your
creative self expression, revising the way in which you want
to communicate and share yourself with other people in order
to allow a new, more tender and true voice to resonate.
(28:22):
So the ego will be a bit disruptive and you
may feel awkward in your self expression, or it may
come out in a backwards way of like over expressing
yourself And the way I think about that is social media. Like,
(28:42):
you know, sometimes when it's like post after post and
like for some reason you're seeing somebody on your Instagram
feed and it's like they're just posting and posting and posting.
And again, this is no judgment, but it seems to
happen and it's kind of like, oh my gosh, good
for you, or yah, shut up, you know, like and
I again, no judgment, but sometimes it's like God, enough
(29:06):
is enough, this retrograde mercury in leo, Like you may
find yourself like screaming at the top of your lungs
for attention. Notice where you do that, Like that's the
best way I can describe it. And I know when
I am like coming from a place where I'm coming
(29:27):
from neediness or attention seeking. And you know what, I
don't First of all, I don't like how that feels.
It's uncomfortable. But have I done it?
Speaker 2 (29:36):
Heck, yes I have.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
And it's kind of one of those things that's like, oh,
that's so embarrassing, but it's like we're human. We all
want a need to be seen and recognized and validated,
so we do it. And social media has totally exacerbated that. Right,
we all get it. But notice when it's like you're
(30:00):
posting from a neediness or you're showing up out of neediness.
This Mercury retrograde is here to fine tune that. So
you show up with presents, You just bring your presence
when it feels authentic and true and in whatever you
have or want to share, and remembering to share from
(30:21):
your heart. It's a time about redefining the way you
radiate your light and through your own self expression. And
just remember the adage of like you don't need to
roar to be sovereign. It's a time of really listening
before you perform, before you present your presence. So that's
(30:45):
my mercury in retrograde spiel. Remember it is July eighteenth
through August eleventh, so we've got a big track of time. There.
Be mindful of signing on the dotted line. And obviously
if something is the work in the work, or you've
got a new job coming up, or you're purchasing a car,
just double triple check it. Make sure it's what you
want and the terms are really well defined. Have a
(31:08):
second set of eyes, double triple check that. Do what
life happens, right, we can't help it. Life happens. But
just do your due diligence in the instance that you
are selling something or buying something. And you know, one
of the things with mercury retrograde I find often is
you just get ho hoodwinked. You know, I call it. Liars,
(31:28):
cheaters and thieves come out. So it's a really good
time for scams, internet scams or you know, anything that's
just shady business. So just be mindful of anything that
feels a too good to be true or like it's
not on the up and up. And then also check
yourself where maybe you're being a little shady, like I
(31:49):
always am, Like, am I being shady? Am I being
shady in my own behavior or in my own mind?
So you know, do that, but enjoy enjoy yourself during
this time, like see if you can reconnect with your
inner child and your your inner playfulness and make it sacred,
(32:10):
make it private, so to speak. On July twenty second,
the sun will enter Leo. And once the sun enters Leo,
and even though mercury will be retrograde in Leo, will
have that beautiful desire to express and playfulness. It's summer
in the northern hemisphere, so there's that summertime, fun time, vibe,
(32:34):
do fun things, celebrate, enjoy yourself. Recognize what creativity feels
and looks like for you today and prioritize it. Put
it on your list. Make time for fun, for play
for games. That's what Leo loves. One of the things.
(32:55):
And I guess I've shared this on the podcast. Maybe
I haven't, but my husband and I play Mexican Train.
It's a Domino's game and we've played it since the pandemic.
When we were living in Belize. A friend of ours
bought a Domino set at one of those small little
stores in town and we started playing this game called
(33:15):
Mexican Train. And we love to play train. It's a
lot of fun. We're very competitive in it. But my
husband and I will play Mexican Train, like during the workday,
work week and not for long. But he'll be like,
do you have a break right now? Do you want
to play some Train? And I'm like, yes, like let's
(33:38):
do it, and so I will stop my day. You know,
it may be ten thirty am and I may have
a forty five minute break between calls or whatever is
on my schedule and I will play twenty five minutes
of Mexican train with him, Like we will just play
games in the middle of the day. And it's funny
because I look forward to that. I need that twenty
(34:02):
minutes to just play and have fun and play hooky
a little bit in my life. And I come back
to my desk and my computer and my adulting and
responsibilities refreshed, rejuvenated, Like, ha, I just played hooky in
the middle of the day. But it's not something I hide.
(34:23):
It's like, I've got pride in my playfulness and it
helps balance out that masculine and feminine energy.
Speaker 2 (34:30):
I was talking about.
Speaker 1 (34:32):
It brings joy into my day that I play games
in the middle of my workday, and there ain't no
shame in it because it really gives me added vitality.
So look for ways that you have fun and find pleasure.
And if you can't put your finger on it right
now because you're struggling or just all the things in
(34:54):
life are happening and falling on your shoulders, who are
the people in your life that make you laugh your
ass off? Like, who are the people that bring you
utter joy, silliness, fun and delight? Will pick up the
phone and call them, or go to lunch with them,
or have a girls night or a guy's night. Anybody
(35:15):
that you know just is fun and silly and wild
and playful. Get in touch with them if you can't
get in touch with your own playfulness. So take action
around your playfulness you find your pleasure and your joy,
because it really will revitalize your energy field, especially with
(35:35):
all the energy I talked about that we have going
on this month and the energy of the seven month
in numerology, which I defined in depth in Part one
of the Energy Forecast for July. But the seven and
the nine confluence, the nine universal year and the seven month,
(35:56):
it is so introspective and introverted and isolating at times
that it will say, no, I don't need to go
hang out with fun friends. I'll just be fun with myself. No,
you're not gonna be fun with yourself. You're just gonna
get more into the dangerous neighborhood in your head. Don't
(36:16):
forget that and laugh when you find yourself in the
dangerous neighborhood in your head. And my the neighborhood in
my head, it's like derelict. It can be super dangerous
That's why it's like, oh, who makes me laugh? Let
me pick up the phone and call them, you know,
like who makes me laugh?
Speaker 2 (36:32):
Let me do that?
Speaker 1 (36:33):
Or how can I laugh and create more play and joy.
On the twenty fourth, we have a new moon at
Leo in Leo. It's at two degrees and that happens
at three eleven pm Eastern Time. So happy birthday to
(36:54):
all you Leo's out there, or if you've got a
Leo moon or a Leo rising, big energy to you
as well. We love all the Leo energy coming in,
especially in the summertime. But this new moon, it's a
different Leo new moon. Leo loves to roar. We just
(37:15):
talked about the you know, the creative self expression and
roar of Leo, the lion, the entertainer, the regal, you know,
energy that Leo boldly brings. This new moon comes in
like a whisper. It's not allowed.
Speaker 2 (37:35):
Leo new moon.
Speaker 1 (37:36):
It's soft and for I do want to say something
just for everyone out there. Whenever it's your new moon,
meaning if you are a Leo sun sign, it's Leo
new moon. That's your new moon of the year. You've
got your actual birthday, your solar return and you have
your new moon. If you're a Leo Moon or a
(37:57):
Leo rising, it's it's also an other return for you.
It's a lunar return or the energy of your ascendant
when the Sun crosses over your rising sign, your ascendant.
So those are really significant moons wherever your sun, moon
and rising are same. For the full moon, that's like
your half birthday in any of those areas. But for
(38:21):
any of us out there, the new or the full moon,
especially the new moon really sets the tone of your
energy field for the year. So the astrology happening in
and around your solar new moon, it sets the tone
and the tone that I have discussed for all of July.
(38:44):
If you're a Leo or you're a Leo Moon or
Leo rising, it's setting the tone for your year ahead.
And when I say that, I'm not saying, ugh, you
have this hard dissolving Saturn Neptune year ahead. We all
have a Saturn Neptune year ahead. But for you, Leo's
out there and with all of this energy kind of
(39:05):
colliding and compounding and fusing this month, it's really asking
you to get still, to be more quiet in how
you express yourself, and it's not asking you to dampen
your light or diminish your light. It's actually asking you
to amplify it more through stillness. So this moon is
(39:28):
asking all of us to really be real, to be
true to ourselves, to get real within our self and
our heart. It's a real heart reset and it's again
it's like a whisper instead of a roar. There's a
bit of a rebirth of authentic self expression, but in
(39:50):
a more tender and subtle way. See how that's showing
up for you? And I'm not just speaking to the
the LEO peeps out there, speaking to all of us.
How is your authentic self expression becoming more subtle, more
presence oriented versus persona oriented? Let me repeat that, how
(40:12):
is your energy becoming more presence oriented versus a mask
or a persona oriented? So a few things to think
about and consider during this Leo new moon is setting
intentions around authentic self expression. Where are you ready to speak, create,
(40:34):
or show up more unapologetically without performance or approval seeking.
Where is that showing up for you? It's also asking
us all to reclaim joy as a sacred practice. Where
do you find joy? What brings you play and pleasure
(40:55):
and silliness not so much as an indulgence, but a
spiritual reset. Mexican Train for me is a total spiritual
practice and reset. And you may think I sound delusional
or am deluding.
Speaker 2 (41:08):
Myself into that. No way.
Speaker 1 (41:10):
Mexican Train total spiritual practice in my day because it
brings me a ton of joy. It brings me a
ton of joy to annihilate my husband in Mexican Train. Obviously,
you can see I have a massive competitive edge when
it comes to games, and I'm not a sore loser.
I'm actually really not. I'm just really cheeky and snarky
(41:32):
when I play games, and I think that's kind of
true to probably my soul is. I am cheeky, I
am a bit snarky, I am a bit irreverent, and
that's what happens when I play games. This is also
a great new men to begin a creative project. But quietly,
I'm behind the scenes. Remember with Mercury retrograde and Saturn
(41:52):
retrograding as well. It's not a launch time. It's not
a put yourself out on stage time. It's a quiet
internal begin to create, start a creative project or something
that is expressive for you. So if you write, you paint,
whatever it is, it's not about sharing about it or
(42:13):
speaking about it. It's doing it privately and starting it
for yourself, by yourself and with your own presence. This
is also such a reset of the heart space and
the heart field. I would encourage anyone out there during
this new moon to really do some kind of practice
(42:36):
with your heart space, and whether that's working with some crystals,
doing some breath work, some stillness, maybe some guided meditations.
If you've got the astron My Astronumerology Guidebook, it gives
you some good insights and journal prompts of course during
all of the new and full moons, but this is
(42:57):
a good new moon for around the heart and around
love and kindness and compassion, but kindness, love and compassion
with yourself. So anything that regulates the heart and the
solar plexus, so that element in the belly and in
the heart, like really deep breath work and self soothing
(43:21):
that can be that can be very helpful. And when
I think about heartwork too, another thing that comes to
mind is CACW. I've done a lot of cacao rituals
are worked with cacw. Medicine in many ways, and it's
such a heart opener. I have this awesome rose cocaw
and I can't remember the brand or the name, but
(43:42):
I got it. I got it here in Austin, and
it's a rose cacw and it's like this really dark
bitter chocolate. But you just put it in your milk.
I put it in my coconut milk and dissolve it
and I will just drink that as tea, but drink
it ritualistically. Cacao and ros is a massive, like tantric
(44:05):
heart opener. So that might be something you do. Get
yourself some good dark chocolate on this moon. Be indulgent
that way, but do something devotional or ritualistic around your heart.
And I would say too, Like last but not least,
just enclosing energy around this new moon. Really think about
(44:26):
what your soul wants to radiate in these months ahead
and plant a seed. Like if people could truly see
you and the essence of your soul and who you are,
what would be the first impression of your presence. Maybe
you just pick one word, one word that you want
(44:50):
to radiate through your presence, write it down, write it out,
put it on your bathroom mirror and speak it in
the language of your heart and in your prayers and
mantras and intentions. Okay, last, but not least, we have
we close out the month with another retrograde, another retrograde.
(45:12):
Chiron will station retrograde on the thirtieth of July at
twenty six degrees of aries. Chiron has been in Aries
for some time. Chiron is an asteroid, the wounded healer,
and Kirn. Chiron is a bit tricky in Aries. Chirn
(45:33):
really focuses on our wounded identity, wounds around our identity ego, old,
ancestral trauma, masculine distortion, anger, rage, fight. So when Chirn retrogrades,
Chiron already is focusing on wounds that we have to
(45:56):
heal in order to be able to empathically heal others.
Shared trauma, shared wounds, shared experiences. And when I say that,
and when I talk about Chiron, it makes me think
of alcoholism and addiction recovery. One of the big things
in recovery is someone who has been in recovery and
(46:22):
has a shared experience of alcohol an addiction is uniquely
qualified to help another person in their addiction recovery. And
that's really what Chiron the asteroid is teaching us, is
that sometimes through our deepest trauma, pain and wound, we
(46:42):
find that healing when we're not afraid to look at
the depth of the trauma and share it with another,
to be of service, to help someone else heal because
of shared pain, shared tragedy. So it's really what Chiron
is about. But interestingly, and this has been going on
(47:03):
for quite a bit, because Chiron moves pretty slow in
the sky, Chirn has been conjunct another asteroid, an asteroid
named Aris. Eris is Mars's sister. So think about that
for a minute, y'all. Know, you know Mars, the god
of war, the planet of fight and courage, and you know,
(47:27):
all things fiery battle, masculine displays like you know that's Mars. Well,
we're talking about Mars's sister, Eiris. She essentially in mythology,
was the sower of divine discord. What the heck does
that mean? I've thought about this a lot lately because
I've been focused on Eras in my chart. She's at
(47:49):
twenty six degrees of Aris right now, as is Chiron.
They've been conjunct for a hot minute eris brings discord
into groups. She brings discord not to encourage fighting, but
to encourage disruption of status quo or what is not
(48:11):
being said under the surface. She brings it to bring
the truth up to the surface. She brings discord to
bring truth to the surface, so everything can come to
a head. And think things can be brought up into
the air, the atmosphere and into divine order. Think about
what's going on on the world stage right now, politically,
(48:32):
leadership wise, war wise, all the things that we have
going on, and how much discord there is. For me,
I know that there is a divine orchestration to things.
I deeply believe that in my bones, and I believe.
I don't believe in the atrocities that are happening at all.
(48:53):
I'm not advocating for that, condoning it, excusing it, or
denying it by any means. But I do trust that
all of this discord that is going on around us,
it has some kind of divine meeting that is being
revealed through the discord. Especially when I honor my light,
(49:15):
I show up in integrity, you show up in integrity,
and I trust that in humanity. I trust the integrity
of humanity, the light of humanity, the heart of humanity
to rise to the surface. But Eris is the sower
of discord and divine discord, and then you have Chiron,
the wounded healer, and both of them in aries. I mean,
(49:39):
this is just painful stuff. So as Chiron retrogrades and
that station as we close this month, just notice the
last handful of days of the month and the first
few days of August, Like, look at that kind of
window or container for yourself and see if any dysfunction, discord, disruptions, fighting,
(50:03):
you know, pain, anything painful that shows up for you personally,
or anything painful going on on the world stage. What
is it revealing to you? And how can you heal it?
Speaker 2 (50:18):
Heal it?
Speaker 1 (50:18):
Holdheartedly. And this is about being forged by fire.
Speaker 2 (50:23):
I've talked about.
Speaker 1 (50:24):
The energy of this year, really feeling like we are
forged by and through fire. And when I was thinking
about that and thinking about Chirn stationing retrograde, basically conjunct
with Eris, the only imagery that kept coming through in
my mind was Denarius Targarian And when in that season
(50:44):
of Game of Thrones, when she literally you know, goes
into that lodge with the dragon's eggs, and you know,
the next morning she's like totally nude and reborn with
these three baby dragons. That's that whole season, which I
think is the very first season if I'm correct, of
Game of Thrones. Like that's what this energy feels like,
(51:08):
like like the mother of dragons being born, Like there
is something in that imagery of her walking out with
those little baby dragons after that whole place burned down
and she doesn't have a burn on her. That's kind
of what this chirn retrograde, especially conjunct with airis, feels
(51:30):
like that we are something like the old layers of us.
The old identity is being stripped away, so that inner goddess,
that inner warrior, divine warrior, or you know, priestess, whatever
it may be, is being born. So think about these
(51:51):
few things, and this is what I'll close with in
the for the month of July, reclaiming your ability to
divine rage, divine anger. And when I share that, what
I'm saying is sacred rage, like allowing your passion and
your rage to flow through you, not at anyone else
(52:14):
or not back on to you, but allowing yourself to
feel alive and infuriated and completely wild and uncontrollable. Do
you allow yourself to do that? Do you know how
to do that? I mean, I think about, you know,
being five years old and kicking and screaming on the
(52:34):
ground and hyperventilating to the point I don't even know
what I was upset about in the first place. Sometimes
we need to just let that electricity run through us,
that anger, that rage, let your emotions, allow your emotions
to run through you in a sacred an honorable way,
not on anyone else or back on yourself, but through
(52:57):
through you. Also, it's a great time to read visit
any wounds that you have, like what is showing up
for you, what feels wounded, what still hurts, what are
your triggers, and really revisiting those a little bit to
see what other sickness, what other disease may be going on. Also,
(53:17):
because we're talking about aries energy, be mindful of any inflammation,
inflammation in your physical body, in your emotional body, like
really really making sure that you are practicing some kind
of detoxification in some way, shape or form, whether you
(53:39):
are getting in a hot saana, you're getting outside and
sweating a little bit you're drinking more water, you're doing
an actual detox or a cleanse, just being mindful of
inflammation period and a lot of times, like I was
talking about how I like shake my face a lot
and shake my hands like a little bit of a
wild person A lot of times. When I wake up
(54:01):
in the morning, I am forty four, you know, and
my eyes are puffy in which I don't want to
have any of that business because it's just creating more wrinkles.
And you know, I am a libra, so I do
care about those things truth, truth bomb, but I'll be like,
oh my gosh, I gotta shake all this this salt
and fluid off of my skin. So really think about
inflammation and whether you're emotionally inflamed or physically inflamed. It's
(54:25):
a really good temperature gauge of some like divine rage,
divine energy that may need to process through you. So
I don't know, take more tumoric, do what you need
to do. Also giving your inner warriors some new instructions
like what are you fighting for? Are you fighting for
survival or are you fighting for happiness? Are you fighting
to live?
Speaker 2 (54:45):
You know? And I mean, are you fighting at all?
Speaker 1 (54:47):
What are you wrestling with? What are you fighting with?
And so any heat that's in the body, Like, look
at your battles, pick your battles. Do you need to
battle at all? These are things that you want to
think about as we move through August and September, because
Chirn will be retrograde for a bit. But this is last,
but not least, This is a beautiful time frame to
(55:11):
reorient your core power or even your concept of power.
What is power and presence look like to you? And
I think I've started to even drop the word empowerment
and I just have replaced it with presence, you know.
Speaker 2 (55:27):
And it's not.
Speaker 1 (55:27):
Even inner authority, sovereignty agency, it's just straight up presence.
What is what am I present for? And what is
my presence radiating? So think about really reorienting or redefining
your concept of power or empowerment and looking at your presence. Okay,
(55:49):
that's a lot of energy. There's a lot going on.
I'm even overwhelmed by myself talking about this. So I'm
laughing a little bit because I'm like, gosh, thank goodness,
I didn't record this in one podcast episode, because I
shared with you all. I was like, this is a lot.
There's a lot going on. I would definitely go back, listen,
re listen, take notes, take what you want, leave the rest.
(56:10):
Whatever resonates with you. Be true to that. But more
than anything, be present. You know your gift is in
the present moment. Share your presence and begin to really
and truly fine tune the nature and essence of your
soul through your presence. Be well everyone, Thanks for joining me.

Hi everyone, It's Amanda Rika Green. Welcome to Soul Sessions.
Thank you for joining me today. I am glad you're here.
July is such an immense month, and this is the
second part of the July Energy Forecast. Before we dive
in and explore what is unfolding throughout the remainder of
(00:33):
this month and beyond, I have a special announcement. This
is a potent energy and a potent time to gather.
July invites us into a tender reckoning, bringing karmic tides
and soulful recalibrations. The upcoming Capricorn full moon offers a
(00:55):
clear container to come home and attune to your inner
architecture gently together in the field. If you've been feeling
the pull to slow down, soften and remember who you
are at the root level, this is your invitation. I'm
(01:16):
hosting a free live full moon ceremony on Thursday, July
tenth at seven pm Central Standard Time on Zoom. This
is something I haven't offered in a long time to
the public and as a community, and I may not
do it again. I'm playing in the energy field and
(01:37):
wanting to harness this energy together in thirty minutes that
we spend together in sacred community. We will clear the noise,
recalibrate your energy field, and anchor into the deeper truth
of your soul's next season. It will be sacred potent,
and you're all welcome. Be sure to check out the
(02:01):
show notes the description in the podcast for a link
to register. If you are curious about this event or
looking for sacred community to attune your field, I hope
to see you there. Now let's dive into Part two
of the July Energy Forecast. Definitely listen to part one
(02:22):
because part one gives you the overarching theme energetically for
the month. I dive deep into the numerology and also
the major astrological influence, which really is Saturn and Neptune.
It is those two planets coming so close to a
(02:42):
conjunction and both of them retrograding. That theme really overwhelms
the energy of July. So all the other things that
are happening, which are pretty big, it's almost like their
secondary roles and the minor influences, and again they're not minor,
(03:03):
they're pretty major, but that energy theme is so astounding
that it can convolute things or drive the bus, so
to speak. So definitely marinate on that I would review
it and re listen to it. And it's funny when
I share this with you, all I do these things.
(03:24):
I go back, I listen, re listen because I hear
things differently, puzzle pieces start to come back together. And
sometimes I listen to my own podcast. I actually listen
to them quite a bit. Sometimes I cringe, other times
I'm delighted in what I hear, and I hear the
information that I share and take it to heart myself.
(03:45):
But I also do that with other people that I
follow or find really speak to my soul. I listen
and re listen, integrate and reintegrate. But that's how I learn.
It's also a love language of my soul, that listening.
It's kind of the cadence of the vibration and being
in that energy helps my synapses to fire and wire
(04:08):
in a certain way. And I know so many of
you out there feel that way. You've shared that with me,
and it makes my heart saying when you share that
feedback with me, that you feel that and you learn
and synthesize the same way or in similar ways that
I do. So with this second half of July, we've
(04:30):
got a handful of things happening, and it's gonna kick off,
and I'm going to start around July thirteenth, which followed
the Capricorn full moon, which I went through in the
last podcast. Saturn will retrograde at like one and a
half degrees of aries, nearly two degrees of aries, so
(04:51):
it's not quite at that two degree mark, but it's
right there. Saturn station's retrograde on the thirteenth. What I
shared is that both Saturn and Neptune that are retrograding,
we feel this as we enter July, and we feel
it throughout July. So it's not a one and done
(05:13):
energy because these planets are large, they're far out, they're
slow moving, so it's like a slow burn, a slow pause,
it's a drawn out circumstance. It just is is the
way that it feels. So just know that the date
that it occurs is July thirteenth, and as Saturn retrogrades,
(05:37):
and remember that Saturn is about maturity, responsibility, it's about framework,
it's about practical tangible action, duty, leadership, legacy, destiny. It's
highly masculine, and it's masculine in a very linear and
(05:58):
practical and earth bound way. And also in a divine
masculine way. So to me, this retrograde phase signifies a
connection with the divine masculine. And we talk about, or
at least in spiritual circles and communities, the divine feminine
(06:18):
is thrown around left and right, connecting with divine feminine
energy and coming back into our innate intuition and wisdom
and healer energy, mother energy. That gets discussed quite a bit,
but there's divine masculine energy too, And I think sometimes
(06:40):
when we look at some of the disentanglement of the patriarchy,
and we look at patriarchal society and formulation, and then
we think about women's rights and women's movements, those things
are very linear, they're very three dimensional. They have played
out in our personal lives and through our lineage, our
(07:02):
ancestry on the world stage for eons. But we are
moving into higher levels of consciousness, which is this beautiful
dance and confluence of divine masculine and divine feminine. And
the divine masculine is not ruling over patriarchal, condescending stern like,
(07:26):
it doesn't have that father figure image to it. It
is more inclusive and it creates a safe guard, a
safe haven. It's almost elusive for me to define it,
but I know when I think when I see divine
masculine imagery and influence within myself, it's a lot of
(07:51):
it has been in removing force, because masculine energy is extroverted,
it's penetrating, it's external, and there's this element of drive
and success and ambition and force in masculine energy. And
we need that energy just as much as we need
the yen, the receptive, and the feminine attributes of energy.
(08:14):
But the divine masculine moves externally organically without force. And
I've shared this with you all before, but I've been
practicing the removal of force and you know what it
makes me think about. It makes me think about Star Wars.
You know, being in the force field, be the force,
(08:36):
and it's about being at one with the energy of force,
which is very organic. And again, I know I'm being
a bit elusive in my description because it's like a
sacred dance or a sacred action removing that force. And
if I were to explain that with a practical example,
(08:58):
I know that when I sit down down to the
computer and I have tasks on my plate to do,
whether it's responding to emails, scheduling, you know, accomplishing administrative task.
And I sit down and my body language feels kind
of hunched over, small crunchy, like I've got to get
(09:18):
this done. I need to get these next things done.
It's very box checking. Energy is the way I know
to articulate it to you. But I can feel it
in my body, and there's it's like my shoulders are
hunched over, I'm crouched down, I'm typing, I'm trying to
get things done. It feels forceful. It feels forced. It
feels like I am doing it with resistance rather than
(09:41):
with ease. So when I feel that energy, a lot
of times I recognize that I'm making things harder for myself,
or I'm choosing a more forceful path. And sometimes I
can't just flip the switch to remove the force and
be organic and light and easy, breezy. But what I
(10:04):
will do is I will literally roll my shoulders back.
I will open and close my jaw. I might roll
my neck around, I might take a few breaths. I
might shake my hands out and shake my face a
little bit. I've been shaking my face a lot lately.
I've been like moving limph and shaking you know, energy
(10:24):
out of my face because it feels really good.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Actually, But when.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
I recognize my body feeling forceful and crunchy and my
mind and my energy feel that way, I will do
something simply within the realignment of my body to move
that force energy out so I can come in more easy,
(10:49):
more organic and emitting energy versus forcing energy. So hopefully
that awareness of when you get tight, when you get crunchy,
when you get salty in your body and in your
energy field, noticing it and move your physical body a
(11:09):
bit so you can approach whatever is on your plate
or at hand with an easier stance, an easier presence
that is not necessarily weakened or lighter, but is more radiant.
So there's a radiance to divine masculinity. That's probably a
(11:32):
good word to attribute it to. So as Saturn retrogrades
and aries, remember aries is about individuality, about courage and boldness.
There's this element of pulling our energy inward and reforging something,
(11:52):
reforging aspects of our identity to incorporate that into our
presence and our persona are being, and Saturn will be
retrograde for a hot minute. It's going to be retrograde
through the fall, so you got a little bit of
time to play with this energy. But Saturn is starting
(12:14):
to redefine our impulses, our inner urges, our instincts, essentially,
so it may feel like your energy or your individuality
is subdued or diluted a bit. Don't be afraid of that,
Like if you feel come let's say August, because you'll
(12:36):
really feel some of this strongly in July. But then
when it kind of stabilizes, for lack of better words,
because there's nothing real stabilizing about this, but when it
grounds in or stabilizes a little bit, you may feel
a little lost in your identity or that ways you've
(12:57):
been showing up in your day to day life are
starting to feel uncomfortable or misaligned in some sort of way.
Explore that instead of beating up on yourself or judging
yourself or just taking that at face value. Takes some
(13:17):
time to contemplate it.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
It's also a.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Time where forging ahead will be delayed. It's not a
big charge ahead time. When Saturn retrogrades, it's a redefining time.
It is a time to review, reflect, and It's also
because Saturn is about responsibility. Responsibility really turns inward and
(13:45):
I think there is no better, more clearly empowered transit
astrological transit than Saturn retrograding in areas to define personal
responsibility and something I was taught a long time ago,
(14:06):
and this really focuses around control. The only thing I
truly have control over is my attitude, actions and behaviors.
So this is the phase where I will think about
what I am personally responsible for my attitude, my actions,
and my behaviors, and my attitude check is number one.
(14:30):
And that's what I want to encourage you all to
think about during Saturn retrograde in ares is check your
attitude and check your motives. Start with your attitude. Am
I coming at it with a just a bad attitude,
a joyful attitude or a benign attitude? Check your attitude
(14:52):
and really ask yourself, is this the attitude that is
true to me right now? Is it the one I
want to have? I want to approach this circumstance or
relationship or struggle with this attitude?
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Or do I.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Want to have a different attitude and outlook? And you
get to choose, but just become aware of your attitude
and how that impacts your energy field. Yes, your behaviors
and your actions, but think about how your attitude impacts
your energy field. And the example I just shared with
you all about when I feel in that force of
(15:32):
I've got to get this done, I've got to type
this stuff out, I got to respond to these people.
And I always say, it's like when I am just
box checking through life, checking a box, checking a box,
rather than intentionally moving through life. I enjoy intentionally moving
through life versus box checking. It becomes more easy, more fluid, synchronistic,
(15:54):
and delightful than administratively approaching my life. And so I
have become more aware of that. And of course I'm
a human, so I default into the human doing all
the time. But this retrograde is helping us to become
more of our human being self. Also thinking about boundaries
(16:19):
around yourself and the boundaries you are reformulating, because this
is such an empowered transit to acknowledge the boundaries you
have either already established or that need to be established,
or boundaries that may need to be redefined or reinforced.
(16:40):
So think about boundaries and not just verbal or personal boundaries.
Innergetic boundaries. And I have shared with you multiple times
how important I believe energetic boundaries to be. They have
become extremely important for me in the way that I
(17:04):
recognize when my energetic boundaries are not strong and fortified,
my physical body takes a toll. And what I mean
by that is it's not about me putting up a
shield or being super protective around my energy field. That's
not the attitude I approach. I infiltrate my energy field
(17:28):
with light, intelligence, love, healing, empowerment, whatever comes to me
that is of a higher vibrational attribute. That's what I
infuse my energy field with. And I do it often,
especially I do it one to one, but I do
it a lot in public places and even in small
(17:52):
groups because I have found myself to be extremely energetically susceptible.
And what takes the toll is my physical health and
well being. And my body has started to scream louder
when my energetic boundaries are not fortified and strong, and
also when I am in around people, places and circumstances
(18:16):
that it's not healthy for me to be around because
my body is absorbing too much of someone else's energy
or projection and it is not a judgment on anyone
around me. It's just something that I have noticed. So
I've gone inward quite a bit and not isolated, but
I've been very mindful about my yes and no because
(18:40):
right now my energetic field is upgrading significantly, and so
are many of your energetic fields out there. Whether you
have recognized it or not, something magnificent and also quite
uncomfortable is happening in your energy field. We are inviting
or light into our bodies and this is unprecedented, so
(19:04):
there's no roadmap for it. It's simply attunement and awareness.
It's a feeling of comfort and safety in the physical
body versus disease and discomfort. I think Saturn retrograde will
turn the volume up on this quite a bit in aries.
So pay attention, but recognize if your energy and vitality
(19:28):
and umph and forge ahead mojo feels off and wacky,
your vitality feels a bit depleted, you're feeling the energy
if that shows up for you, and it could be
your hormones, it could be that you had a sick
child all night. It could be those things too.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
I get it.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
I get the reality day to day environmental and life
stuff that happens. But in general, if you're sensing this
lack of vitality or lowered diminished energy, you're not being blocked.
You're being rebuilt. It's almost like scaffolding and infrastructure that
(20:06):
is not sustainable or moldy or faulty foundations are being
basically removed. And that is happening in our energetic body,
in our light body, and in our physical body with
our cells and DNA. So just no, you're not being
blocked or you're not being pushed down. You're being remolded, rebuilt.
(20:27):
And discipline right now and this is like huge, and
this is what has come through so clearly. Discipline right
now means staying with the unraveling. Discipline right now means
staying with the unraveling, the dismantling, not running away from
(20:53):
what is unraveling, unfolding, dismantling, holding space for it as
valuable as we're the and it is uncomfortable. But the
more that I hold space for what's being disentangled within me,
the more like the more comfort starts to come through,
(21:13):
the more truth starts to come through. And it was
really weird the other day. I was I think I
was in pilates but I was breathing and doing my
plates thing, and it was like, as I was breathing,
I was full body breathing, because whatever I was doing
was requiring my full breath obviously, and my.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
Focus and attention.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
But it was like as I was there in my body,
I could see my heart, like literally my heart as
an organ. And I'm not super clairvoyant that way, visual
that way, but I do have that gift and ability.
I know how to exercise it, but it's not my
go to. But it was like I could see my
heart and it looked like all these like cobwebs were
(21:58):
around my heart and like anchoring it down, and the
cobwebs were like breaking one by one, like to free
my heart. And I know that sounds so bizarre and cheesy,
but it was so like I could just picture it
like on a movie screen, like if my heart were
put up on you know, a laparoscopic procedure were put
(22:19):
up on a movie screen of my heart. It was
like all of this web of entanglement was starting to
like break free and my heart was starting to beat true.
And again that may sound cheesy as all get out
to you, but it was such vivid imagery that I
couldn't ignore it. And that's how I feel right now.
(22:41):
And I don't know if that resonates with any of you,
but it's like being unblocked, unbound, So staying with that
energy versus trying to outpace it or outrun it. Well,
guess what happens after Saturn retrogrades our good friend and
good trickster, Mercury, well ratrograde. It's that time of year again.
(23:02):
You know, Mercury retrogrades three or four times a year.
It's not a long phase. We just tend to feel
it a little bit more day to day and drastically.
Because Mercury is so close to Planet Earth. Mercury will
station retrograde July eighteenth at fifteen degrees of Leo, and
(23:23):
mercury will be retrograde in Leo the entire time through
August eleventh. It will station direct August eleventh at four
degrees Leo. So for any of you out there who
are Leo's or have planets in Leo, and you have
planets between four and fifteen degrees Leo, this is going
(23:44):
to impact you more than it impacts all of us.
It'll impact all of us in one way shape or form.
But these are always the things that I look for
in my natal chart. And like with Saturn retrograding, for instance,
Neptune retrograding, do you have planets in aries that are
at you know, anywhere from one to three degrees of
(24:07):
aries or o like me libra one to three degrees
of libra. And of course there's a whole a lot
of other astrological configurations that can be happening here. But
these are things you want to check your natal chart
for to see how these retrogrades and planetary movements are
touching or interacting with your natal chart. So back to
(24:30):
mercury retrograde. Mercury retrograde in Leo is kind of bizarre,
like it's a little bit awkward. I'm gonna say that.
I mean, what astrological influence this month isn't awkward, None
of them. So it's just like it goes with the theme.
It's par for the course this month. Mercury in Leo.
(24:53):
When it is moving direct, which it is right now,
it is expressive and playful, seeking pleasure, loving to be
center stage, embracing its spontaneity and creativity and joy de vive.
It's quick on its feet, it's the performer. I mean,
Mercury and Leo feels good. It feels good to me
(25:17):
as a more kind of introverted, contemplative gal. Mercury and
Leo gives me some extroverted flare and vibe. I love it.
I love to vibe with that. When mercury retrogrades in Leo,
it's like it dampens the creative self expression externally. And
(25:37):
this is not a negative thing or it's really what
is happening is it's beginning to unravel the ego's voice.
It's a softening. So think about this. If Leo is
represented by the lion, what the retrograde phase is doing
(26:00):
is it's softening the need to roar. Think about that.
Let that land for a minute. Instead of having a
really loud, overpowering, overwhelming voice or energy field or display,
it's softening your voice in order to strengthen it, softening
(26:23):
your energy field, fine tuning your communication and self expression.
So it actually amplifies through a softness versus a loud roar.
Think of it that way. And essentially what's happening. Because
Leo is ruled by the Sun, Leo focuses heavily on
(26:47):
the healthy development of ego. But leo is connected with
the heart. When leo is in its greatest expression, it's
not only regal, it is generous and generous because why not,
why not give give of light and love and expression
(27:11):
It gives from the heart. So what this is doing
is it's calling in more light into our heart space,
our self expression through the heart versus our voice and
our demonstrative nature. So it's about not needing to prove something.
(27:31):
It's really about becoming more real, more true. And remember,
with retrograde mercury, it's not the best time to sign
on the dotted line or to launch something. It's a
time to listen, to redefine, rewrite, revise, review, rethink. Mercury
(27:54):
is about thinking and communication. So it's a time of
revision and re revising your creativity, revising your light, your
creative self expression, revising the way in which you want
to communicate and share yourself with other people in order
to allow a new, more tender and true voice to resonate.
(28:22):
So the ego will be a bit disruptive and you
may feel awkward in your self expression, or it may
come out in a backwards way of like over expressing
yourself And the way I think about that is social media. Like,
(28:42):
you know, sometimes when it's like post after post and
like for some reason you're seeing somebody on your Instagram
feed and it's like they're just posting and posting and posting.
And again, this is no judgment, but it seems to
happen and it's kind of like, oh my gosh, good
for you, or yah, shut up, you know, like and
I again, no judgment, but sometimes it's like God, enough
(29:06):
is enough, this retrograde mercury in leo, Like you may
find yourself like screaming at the top of your lungs
for attention. Notice where you do that, Like that's the
best way I can describe it. And I know when
I am like coming from a place where I'm coming
(29:27):
from neediness or attention seeking. And you know what, I
don't First of all, I don't like how that feels.
It's uncomfortable. But have I done it?
Speaker 2 (29:36):
Heck, yes I have.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
And it's kind of one of those things that's like, oh,
that's so embarrassing, but it's like we're human. We all
want a need to be seen and recognized and validated,
so we do it. And social media has totally exacerbated that. Right,
we all get it. But notice when it's like you're
(30:00):
posting from a neediness or you're showing up out of neediness.
This Mercury retrograde is here to fine tune that. So
you show up with presents, You just bring your presence
when it feels authentic and true and in whatever you
have or want to share, and remembering to share from
(30:21):
your heart. It's a time about redefining the way you
radiate your light and through your own self expression. And
just remember the adage of like you don't need to
roar to be sovereign. It's a time of really listening
before you perform, before you present your presence. So that's
(30:45):
my mercury in retrograde spiel. Remember it is July eighteenth
through August eleventh, so we've got a big track of time. There.
Be mindful of signing on the dotted line. And obviously
if something is the work in the work, or you've
got a new job coming up, or you're purchasing a car,
just double triple check it. Make sure it's what you
want and the terms are really well defined. Have a
(31:08):
second set of eyes, double triple check that. Do what
life happens, right, we can't help it. Life happens. But
just do your due diligence in the instance that you
are selling something or buying something. And you know, one
of the things with mercury retrograde I find often is
you just get ho hoodwinked. You know, I call it. Liars,
(31:28):
cheaters and thieves come out. So it's a really good
time for scams, internet scams or you know, anything that's
just shady business. So just be mindful of anything that
feels a too good to be true or like it's
not on the up and up. And then also check
yourself where maybe you're being a little shady, like I
(31:49):
always am, Like, am I being shady? Am I being
shady in my own behavior or in my own mind?
So you know, do that, but enjoy enjoy yourself during
this time, like see if you can reconnect with your
inner child and your your inner playfulness and make it sacred,
(32:10):
make it private, so to speak. On July twenty second,
the sun will enter Leo. And once the sun enters Leo,
and even though mercury will be retrograde in Leo, will
have that beautiful desire to express and playfulness. It's summer
in the northern hemisphere, so there's that summertime, fun time, vibe,
(32:34):
do fun things, celebrate, enjoy yourself. Recognize what creativity feels
and looks like for you today and prioritize it. Put
it on your list. Make time for fun, for play
for games. That's what Leo loves. One of the things.
(32:55):
And I guess I've shared this on the podcast. Maybe
I haven't, but my husband and I play Mexican Train.
It's a Domino's game and we've played it since the pandemic.
When we were living in Belize. A friend of ours
bought a Domino set at one of those small little
stores in town and we started playing this game called
(33:15):
Mexican Train. And we love to play train. It's a
lot of fun. We're very competitive in it. But my
husband and I will play Mexican Train, like during the workday,
work week and not for long. But he'll be like,
do you have a break right now? Do you want
to play some Train? And I'm like, yes, like let's
(33:38):
do it, and so I will stop my day. You know,
it may be ten thirty am and I may have
a forty five minute break between calls or whatever is
on my schedule and I will play twenty five minutes
of Mexican train with him, Like we will just play
games in the middle of the day. And it's funny
because I look forward to that. I need that twenty
(34:02):
minutes to just play and have fun and play hooky
a little bit in my life. And I come back
to my desk and my computer and my adulting and
responsibilities refreshed, rejuvenated, Like, ha, I just played hooky in
the middle of the day. But it's not something I hide.
(34:23):
It's like, I've got pride in my playfulness and it
helps balance out that masculine and feminine energy.
Speaker 2 (34:30):
I was talking about.
Speaker 1 (34:32):
It brings joy into my day that I play games
in the middle of my workday, and there ain't no
shame in it because it really gives me added vitality.
So look for ways that you have fun and find pleasure.
And if you can't put your finger on it right
now because you're struggling or just all the things in
(34:54):
life are happening and falling on your shoulders, who are
the people in your life that make you laugh your
ass off? Like, who are the people that bring you
utter joy, silliness, fun and delight? Will pick up the
phone and call them, or go to lunch with them,
or have a girls night or a guy's night. Anybody
(35:15):
that you know just is fun and silly and wild
and playful. Get in touch with them if you can't
get in touch with your own playfulness. So take action
around your playfulness you find your pleasure and your joy,
because it really will revitalize your energy field, especially with
(35:35):
all the energy I talked about that we have going
on this month and the energy of the seven month
in numerology, which I defined in depth in Part one
of the Energy Forecast for July. But the seven and
the nine confluence, the nine universal year and the seven month,
(35:56):
it is so introspective and introverted and isolating at times
that it will say, no, I don't need to go
hang out with fun friends. I'll just be fun with myself. No,
you're not gonna be fun with yourself. You're just gonna
get more into the dangerous neighborhood in your head. Don't
(36:16):
forget that and laugh when you find yourself in the
dangerous neighborhood in your head. And my the neighborhood in
my head, it's like derelict. It can be super dangerous
That's why it's like, oh, who makes me laugh? Let
me pick up the phone and call them, you know,
like who makes me laugh?
Speaker 2 (36:32):
Let me do that?
Speaker 1 (36:33):
Or how can I laugh and create more play and joy.
On the twenty fourth, we have a new moon at
Leo in Leo. It's at two degrees and that happens
at three eleven pm Eastern Time. So happy birthday to
(36:54):
all you Leo's out there, or if you've got a
Leo moon or a Leo rising, big energy to you
as well. We love all the Leo energy coming in,
especially in the summertime. But this new moon, it's a
different Leo new moon. Leo loves to roar. We just
(37:15):
talked about the you know, the creative self expression and
roar of Leo, the lion, the entertainer, the regal, you know,
energy that Leo boldly brings. This new moon comes in
like a whisper. It's not allowed.
Speaker 2 (37:35):
Leo new moon.
Speaker 1 (37:36):
It's soft and for I do want to say something
just for everyone out there. Whenever it's your new moon,
meaning if you are a Leo sun sign, it's Leo
new moon. That's your new moon of the year. You've
got your actual birthday, your solar return and you have
your new moon. If you're a Leo Moon or a
(37:57):
Leo rising, it's it's also an other return for you.
It's a lunar return or the energy of your ascendant
when the Sun crosses over your rising sign, your ascendant.
So those are really significant moons wherever your sun, moon
and rising are same. For the full moon, that's like
your half birthday in any of those areas. But for
(38:21):
any of us out there, the new or the full moon,
especially the new moon really sets the tone of your
energy field for the year. So the astrology happening in
and around your solar new moon, it sets the tone
and the tone that I have discussed for all of July.
(38:44):
If you're a Leo or you're a Leo Moon or
Leo rising, it's setting the tone for your year ahead.
And when I say that, I'm not saying, ugh, you
have this hard dissolving Saturn Neptune year ahead. We all
have a Saturn Neptune year ahead. But for you, Leo's
out there and with all of this energy kind of
(39:05):
colliding and compounding and fusing this month, it's really asking
you to get still, to be more quiet in how
you express yourself, and it's not asking you to dampen
your light or diminish your light. It's actually asking you
to amplify it more through stillness. So this moon is
(39:28):
asking all of us to really be real, to be
true to ourselves, to get real within our self and
our heart. It's a real heart reset and it's again
it's like a whisper instead of a roar. There's a
bit of a rebirth of authentic self expression, but in
(39:50):
a more tender and subtle way. See how that's showing
up for you? And I'm not just speaking to the
the LEO peeps out there, speaking to all of us.
How is your authentic self expression becoming more subtle, more
presence oriented versus persona oriented? Let me repeat that, how
(40:12):
is your energy becoming more presence oriented versus a mask
or a persona oriented? So a few things to think
about and consider during this Leo new moon is setting
intentions around authentic self expression. Where are you ready to speak, create,
(40:34):
or show up more unapologetically without performance or approval seeking.
Where is that showing up for you? It's also asking
us all to reclaim joy as a sacred practice. Where
do you find joy? What brings you play and pleasure
(40:55):
and silliness not so much as an indulgence, but a
spiritual reset. Mexican Train for me is a total spiritual
practice and reset. And you may think I sound delusional
or am deluding.
Speaker 2 (41:08):
Myself into that. No way.
Speaker 1 (41:10):
Mexican Train total spiritual practice in my day because it
brings me a ton of joy. It brings me a
ton of joy to annihilate my husband in Mexican Train. Obviously,
you can see I have a massive competitive edge when
it comes to games, and I'm not a sore loser.
I'm actually really not. I'm just really cheeky and snarky
(41:32):
when I play games, and I think that's kind of
true to probably my soul is. I am cheeky, I
am a bit snarky, I am a bit irreverent, and
that's what happens when I play games. This is also
a great new men to begin a creative project. But quietly,
I'm behind the scenes. Remember with Mercury retrograde and Saturn
(41:52):
retrograding as well. It's not a launch time. It's not
a put yourself out on stage time. It's a quiet
internal begin to create, start a creative project or something
that is expressive for you. So if you write, you paint,
whatever it is, it's not about sharing about it or
(42:13):
speaking about it. It's doing it privately and starting it
for yourself, by yourself and with your own presence. This
is also such a reset of the heart space and
the heart field. I would encourage anyone out there during
this new moon to really do some kind of practice
(42:36):
with your heart space, and whether that's working with some crystals,
doing some breath work, some stillness, maybe some guided meditations.
If you've got the astron My Astronumerology Guidebook, it gives
you some good insights and journal prompts of course during
all of the new and full moons, but this is
(42:57):
a good new moon for around the heart and around
love and kindness and compassion, but kindness, love and compassion
with yourself. So anything that regulates the heart and the
solar plexus, so that element in the belly and in
the heart, like really deep breath work and self soothing
(43:21):
that can be that can be very helpful. And when
I think about heartwork too, another thing that comes to
mind is CACW. I've done a lot of cacao rituals
are worked with cacw. Medicine in many ways, and it's
such a heart opener. I have this awesome rose cocaw
and I can't remember the brand or the name, but
(43:42):
I got it. I got it here in Austin, and
it's a rose cacw and it's like this really dark
bitter chocolate. But you just put it in your milk.
I put it in my coconut milk and dissolve it
and I will just drink that as tea, but drink
it ritualistically. Cacao and ros is a massive, like tantric
(44:05):
heart opener. So that might be something you do. Get
yourself some good dark chocolate on this moon. Be indulgent
that way, but do something devotional or ritualistic around your heart.
And I would say too, Like last but not least,
just enclosing energy around this new moon. Really think about
(44:26):
what your soul wants to radiate in these months ahead
and plant a seed. Like if people could truly see
you and the essence of your soul and who you are,
what would be the first impression of your presence. Maybe
you just pick one word, one word that you want
(44:50):
to radiate through your presence, write it down, write it out,
put it on your bathroom mirror and speak it in
the language of your heart and in your prayers and
mantras and intentions. Okay, last, but not least, we have
we close out the month with another retrograde, another retrograde.
(45:12):
Chiron will station retrograde on the thirtieth of July at
twenty six degrees of aries. Chiron has been in Aries
for some time. Chiron is an asteroid, the wounded healer,
and Kirn. Chiron is a bit tricky in Aries. Chirn
(45:33):
really focuses on our wounded identity, wounds around our identity ego, old,
ancestral trauma, masculine distortion, anger, rage, fight. So when Chirn retrogrades,
Chiron already is focusing on wounds that we have to
(45:56):
heal in order to be able to empathically heal others.
Shared trauma, shared wounds, shared experiences. And when I say that,
and when I talk about Chiron, it makes me think
of alcoholism and addiction recovery. One of the big things
in recovery is someone who has been in recovery and
(46:22):
has a shared experience of alcohol an addiction is uniquely
qualified to help another person in their addiction recovery. And
that's really what Chiron the asteroid is teaching us, is
that sometimes through our deepest trauma, pain and wound, we
(46:42):
find that healing when we're not afraid to look at
the depth of the trauma and share it with another,
to be of service, to help someone else heal because
of shared pain, shared tragedy. So it's really what Chiron
is about. But interestingly, and this has been going on
(47:03):
for quite a bit, because Chiron moves pretty slow in
the sky, Chirn has been conjunct another asteroid, an asteroid
named Aris. Eris is Mars's sister. So think about that
for a minute, y'all. Know, you know Mars, the god
of war, the planet of fight and courage, and you know,
(47:27):
all things fiery battle, masculine displays like you know that's Mars. Well,
we're talking about Mars's sister, Eiris. She essentially in mythology,
was the sower of divine discord. What the heck does
that mean? I've thought about this a lot lately because
I've been focused on Eras in my chart. She's at
(47:49):
twenty six degrees of Aris right now, as is Chiron.
They've been conjunct for a hot minute eris brings discord
into groups. She brings discord not to encourage fighting, but
to encourage disruption of status quo or what is not
(48:11):
being said under the surface. She brings it to bring
the truth up to the surface. She brings discord to
bring truth to the surface, so everything can come to
a head. And think things can be brought up into
the air, the atmosphere and into divine order. Think about
what's going on on the world stage right now, politically,
(48:32):
leadership wise, war wise, all the things that we have
going on, and how much discord there is. For me,
I know that there is a divine orchestration to things.
I deeply believe that in my bones, and I believe.
I don't believe in the atrocities that are happening at all.
(48:53):
I'm not advocating for that, condoning it, excusing it, or
denying it by any means. But I do trust that
all of this discord that is going on around us,
it has some kind of divine meeting that is being
revealed through the discord. Especially when I honor my light,
(49:15):
I show up in integrity, you show up in integrity,
and I trust that in humanity. I trust the integrity
of humanity, the light of humanity, the heart of humanity
to rise to the surface. But Eris is the sower
of discord and divine discord, and then you have Chiron,
the wounded healer, and both of them in aries. I mean,
(49:39):
this is just painful stuff. So as Chiron retrogrades and
that station as we close this month, just notice the
last handful of days of the month and the first
few days of August, Like, look at that kind of
window or container for yourself and see if any dysfunction, discord, disruptions, fighting,
(50:03):
you know, pain, anything painful that shows up for you personally,
or anything painful going on on the world stage. What
is it revealing to you? And how can you heal it?
Speaker 2 (50:18):
Heal it?
Speaker 1 (50:18):
Holdheartedly. And this is about being forged by fire.
Speaker 2 (50:23):
I've talked about.
Speaker 1 (50:24):
The energy of this year, really feeling like we are
forged by and through fire. And when I was thinking
about that and thinking about Chirn stationing retrograde, basically conjunct
with Eris, the only imagery that kept coming through in
my mind was Denarius Targarian And when in that season
(50:44):
of Game of Thrones, when she literally you know, goes
into that lodge with the dragon's eggs, and you know,
the next morning she's like totally nude and reborn with
these three baby dragons. That's that whole season, which I
think is the very first season if I'm correct, of
Game of Thrones. Like that's what this energy feels like,
(51:08):
like like the mother of dragons being born, Like there
is something in that imagery of her walking out with
those little baby dragons after that whole place burned down
and she doesn't have a burn on her. That's kind
of what this chirn retrograde, especially conjunct with airis, feels
(51:30):
like that we are something like the old layers of us.
The old identity is being stripped away, so that inner goddess,
that inner warrior, divine warrior, or you know, priestess, whatever
it may be, is being born. So think about these
(51:51):
few things, and this is what I'll close with in
the for the month of July, reclaiming your ability to
divine rage, divine anger. And when I share that, what
I'm saying is sacred rage, like allowing your passion and
your rage to flow through you, not at anyone else
(52:14):
or not back on to you, but allowing yourself to
feel alive and infuriated and completely wild and uncontrollable. Do
you allow yourself to do that? Do you know how
to do that? I mean, I think about, you know,
being five years old and kicking and screaming on the
(52:34):
ground and hyperventilating to the point I don't even know
what I was upset about in the first place. Sometimes
we need to just let that electricity run through us,
that anger, that rage, let your emotions, allow your emotions
to run through you in a sacred an honorable way,
not on anyone else or back on yourself, but through
(52:57):
through you. Also, it's a great time to read visit
any wounds that you have, like what is showing up
for you, what feels wounded, what still hurts, what are
your triggers, and really revisiting those a little bit to
see what other sickness, what other disease may be going on. Also,
(53:17):
because we're talking about aries energy, be mindful of any inflammation,
inflammation in your physical body, in your emotional body, like
really really making sure that you are practicing some kind
of detoxification in some way, shape or form, whether you
(53:39):
are getting in a hot saana, you're getting outside and
sweating a little bit you're drinking more water, you're doing
an actual detox or a cleanse, just being mindful of
inflammation period and a lot of times, like I was
talking about how I like shake my face a lot
and shake my hands like a little bit of a
wild person A lot of times. When I wake up
(54:01):
in the morning, I am forty four, you know, and
my eyes are puffy in which I don't want to
have any of that business because it's just creating more wrinkles.
And you know, I am a libra, so I do
care about those things truth, truth bomb, but I'll be like,
oh my gosh, I gotta shake all this this salt
and fluid off of my skin. So really think about
inflammation and whether you're emotionally inflamed or physically inflamed. It's
(54:25):
a really good temperature gauge of some like divine rage,
divine energy that may need to process through you. So
I don't know, take more tumoric, do what you need
to do. Also giving your inner warriors some new instructions
like what are you fighting for? Are you fighting for
survival or are you fighting for happiness? Are you fighting
to live?
Speaker 2 (54:45):
You know? And I mean, are you fighting at all?
Speaker 1 (54:47):
What are you wrestling with? What are you fighting with?
And so any heat that's in the body, Like, look
at your battles, pick your battles. Do you need to
battle at all? These are things that you want to
think about as we move through August and September, because
Chirn will be retrograde for a bit. But this is last,
but not least, This is a beautiful time frame to
(55:11):
reorient your core power or even your concept of power.
What is power and presence look like to you? And
I think I've started to even drop the word empowerment
and I just have replaced it with presence, you know.
Speaker 2 (55:27):
And it's not.
Speaker 1 (55:27):
Even inner authority, sovereignty agency, it's just straight up presence.
What is what am I present for? And what is
my presence radiating? So think about really reorienting or redefining
your concept of power or empowerment and looking at your presence. Okay,
(55:49):
that's a lot of energy. There's a lot going on.
I'm even overwhelmed by myself talking about this. So I'm
laughing a little bit because I'm like, gosh, thank goodness,
I didn't record this in one podcast episode, because I
shared with you all. I was like, this is a lot.
There's a lot going on. I would definitely go back, listen,
re listen, take notes, take what you want, leave the rest.
(56:10):
Whatever resonates with you. Be true to that. But more
than anything, be present. You know your gift is in
the present moment. Share your presence and begin to really
and truly fine tune the nature and essence of your
soul through your presence. Be well everyone, Thanks for joining me.
