The Mercury Retrograde Prep Kit

Heard the buzz? Mercury's gearing up for its famous retrograde dance again, from July 17th to August 11th. It'll be a fascinating trip, moving from the fiery vibes of Leo into the cozy depths of Cancer. 

Now, before you even think about panicking, let's flip the script. This isn't some cosmic punishment; it's actually a golden invitation for some serious inner growth and a beautiful chance to slow down.

We're already in the "retro-shade" period – that subtle hum before the main event. It's your personal head-start, a gentle nudge from the universe to get a few things in order. Think of it less as a threat and more as a whisper telling you to prepare for a powerful pause. 

Your Pre-Retrograde Prep-Kit

  • Digital Deep Clean - You know that digital clutter? Now's the time! Back up those precious photo memories, give your devices a good wipe-down, and finally hit 'delete' on those old, lingering contacts. It's like spring cleaning for your tech soul. 
  • Calendar Check-In -Owe a friend a coffee date? Need to finally book that dentist appointment? Life can get a bit messy during retrograde, so get those important "to-dos" locked into your calendar now. Future you will thank you!
  • Pause on Big Moves - If you can, hit the pause button on major decisions or big commitments until Mercury goes direct. This period is for review, not rapid forward motion. 
  • Double-Check EVERYTHING -  From signing contracts to sending that important email, give all the details an extra look (or two!). A little meticulousness now can save you a big headache later.
  • Quick Brain Dump - Feeling a bit swamped as this energy shifts? Take just 5 minutes to jot down everything on your mind. Get it out, get it organized. Pour out your thoughts, prioritize, and get clear on your intentions now. This creates spaciousness for deeper reflection later. This simple act of strategizing now can save you a whole lot of mental gymnastics later.   

Embracing the Retrograde Flow (July 17 - August 11):

A Mercury Retrograde isn't here to trouble you; it's here to remind you to slow down, reflect, and realign. It’s a powerful period for inner work, healing, and truly connecting with your authentic self. Embrace the pause, and emerge even stronger!

And, this particular retrograde is special because it blends fiery ambition with deep emotional waters. It's a cosmic reminder to balance your drive with your intuition. Instead of bracing for impact, consider it an opportunity to dive deeper.

What to Lean Into (Not Fear!):

  • Misunderstandings - They might pop up, but see it as a chance to practice patience and clarity. Ask more questions, listen with your whole heart.
  • Tech Glitches - Your devices might act up, but perhaps it's the universe nudging you to unplug and reconnect with hobbies, nature, or even just your own quiet thoughts. Always double-check everything!
  • Travel Delays - Plans might shift. Instead of frustration, embrace flexibility. Sometimes, the unexpected detours lead to the best discoveries.
  • Emotional Reflection - This is the real gift of retrograde! It's a perfect time to revisit old decisions, journal, reconnect with cherished friends from your past, and tend to any feelings that need your loving attention.

So, instead of seeing Mercury Retrograde as a "fuss," let's reframe it as a sacred time for review, reflection, and realignment. It's a powerful period for healing and truly getting back in sync with your inner self. Embrace the pause, trust the process, and watch how much stronger and clearer you emerge.

How are you planning to make the most of this cosmic invitation? Let me know!

Hello Gemini Season. Time to get the flirt on

Gemini season is when social calendars heat up (and maybe romances, too.)   One of my oldest crushes and super close friend is a crazy Gemini. Every time her birthday is near, she starts going nuts and starts hunting out adventure of all kinds... and as the birthday passes she starts getting uber serious about making the rest of the year count in ways most cant imagine. One year she left her job as a physiotherapist and became an RJ. Another year, she reached out to some great producers and started a singing career which has taken off beautifully. Gemini season brings a wave of vibrant energy and endless possibilities! Curiosity and versatility are supported as the sun steps into the social air sign. This season is an invitation to embrace your inner social butterfly, dive into fascinating conversations, and explore your various interests.   It’s also a great season to revisit our goals and ambitions for the year, tackle creative projects, and dream big dreams.    ...

The Wolf Moon Rises: 2025's First Full Moon in Cancer

As we welcome January's Wolf Moon on the 13th, we're greeted by a powerful celestial event that beckons us to look inward. This Full Moon in Cancer isn't just the first lunar spectacle of 2025—it's an cosmic invitation to dive deep into our emotional waters. Nestled in the nurturing sign of Cancer, this Full Moon creates a perfect moment for emotional stocktaking. Ask yourself: Have you been nurturing your inner world? Are you carrying emotional weight that's ready to be released? Like the wolf's howl that pierces through winter's silence, this lunar phase calls us to voice our deepest truths. What makes this Full Moon particularly significant is its dynamic celestial dance with Mars. Their proximity suggests a cosmic green light for releasing what no longer serves us—whether it's outdated family patterns, stagnant relationships, or home-related stress that's been weighing heavily on your spirit. With Saturn and Venus joining forces in pragmatic Capr...
