Before we go into panic mode: let's remember that this is an auspicious time to slow down, reconnect with yourself (and perhaps double check your work and packing!).

Tarot Card of the Week:
You Don't Need To Be Tamed, You Need To Be Loved
Are you listening to the part of you that needs to be heard the most? That inner child roars like a lion to gain your attention. You may feel like you don't have the time, energy, or even want to prioritize facing this uncomfortable, untamed part of you. This part of you may feel sticky, uncertain, and too much to deal with, motivating you to push it away, repress it, tame it.
But this part of you can't be tamed, repressed, or pushed away any longer because this part of you IS you.
So stop trying to tame yourself.
Stop trying to repress yourself.
Stop trying to push away or surveillence your true self.
You are ready to face this part of you fighting to be seen, loved, understood, healed, and integrated into your life. It's time to co-create with the uncomfortable parts of yourself rather than drown them in shame, guilt, and judgement.
Because guess what? The parts of you that make you feel uncomfortable are actually your greatest strength.
Strength Affirmation:
I show my shadow side compassion, grace, and love.
Astrology Forecast: July 14-20
July 18: Mercury Retrograde in Leo
Mercury begins its retrograde journey in the bold and expressive sign of Leo, inviting a deep review of how you communicate from the heart. This isn’t just about technology hiccups or delays—it’s about uncovering where pride, performance, or perfectionism have masked your Truth. During this retrograde, words carry emotional weight, and what’s unsaid often speaks the loudest.
This transit is a mirror. You’re being asked: Am I speaking from ego or from authentic essence? And Do I feel safe being seen in my full authenticity? There may be moments where you revisit conversations or past creative expressions and see them in a new light. This is a beautiful time to edit, refine, or reconnect with your inner voice. Healing comes from pausing before reacting and leaning into your deeper motivations. Let your inner child speak—especially when your adult self feels stuck.
July 18: Sun in Cancer Opposes Pluto in Aquarius
This opposition between the planet of vitality and the planet of collective transformation brings a surge of emotional intensity, as the nurturing and intuitive Sun in Cancer faces off with the transformative force of Pluto in Aquarius. Power dynamics may surface—within relationships, family structures, or even internally. It’s a moment of reckoning: What needs to be released so that you can feel safe and empowered?
Sun in Cancer asks us to return to what feels emotionally true, while Pluto in Aquarius urges us to face uncomfortable Truths for the sake of evolution. This transit can bring up fears around vulnerability, abandonment, or rejection—but it’s also an invitation to step into emotional sovereignty. Healing happens when we stop outsourcing our sense of safety and start building it from within. Let this energy initiate a soul-level reset—what you choose to let go of now will create space for deeper, more aligned connections.
