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