The Theme of This Week: Review, Reassess, Reexamine, Restructure
š Think of it this way: Weāre heading into retrograde territory like we do about three times per year. Thatās okay. Slow down, cool down and letās take a quick breather. Weāre also having some big āpurgeā energy towards the end of the week and that will invite in some restructuring.
āļøJuly 14th-20th Spiritual & Energetic Insights Include:
ā This weekās astrological alignments with specific guidance on how you can harness the power of it in the now to build the next steps for your future.ā Big energy insight from Kabbalah, Astrology, Sabian Symbols, and more, with clear ways to interpret it in your own life and the world at large.ā Guidance to help you focus on using the energies of the week to empower you to make productive choices to shape your destiny.
āļø The Energies this Week
Monday, July 14th - Jupiter trine the moon
Friday, July 18th - Mercury retrograde in Leo officially begins
Sunday, July 20th - Mars conjunct the south node in Virgo (a once every 19-year event), Moon conjunct Uranus
Saturn and Neptune in Aries are VERY close this week. This is the overarching death and rebirth cycle weāre all in now through February 20th, 2026.
In Kabbalah this week is the beginning of a very powerful three week period where a lot of energy comes into our world. This is our time to see how far weāve expanded our vessels. How much energy can we handle now when we plug into the energy of the Universe? Have we been doing the work to expand our souls and grow as people with integrity? The next three weeks will bring many situations that will test this and reveal where we are now.
š«Integrating these Energies in Real Life:
This is a time to try and slow down and cool down. Iād say we can still feel great about our lives, but most of us are really worried about the collective. Donāt bypass this worry, itās real and normal.
Mercury retrograde is inviting is to use all the āreā words. We are still heavily in the death and rebirth cycle, and we are just coming off a full moon. Weāre working on an accelerated timeline, which is why everything feels like itās being pushed forward mightily.
The big news is on Sunday when weāll be asked to purge something thatās no longer working in our lives. This is a lot about doing away with the old and bringing in something new. This energy is big and surprising! Stay optimistic and stay ready for what might come in. Be ready to release and let go of what has to go. This will invite in the ability for you to restructure.
Iām glad, in a way, the retrograde is here. Itās a great time for a slow down and cool down. Adapting to summer energy can be hard, but this is the time to do it.
šÆ 4 Things to Focus on This Week:
1ļøā£ Review: Weāre now firmly into the preview of 2026 this week. Iāve spoken about this time for a while. What does it feel like you need to let go of? What do you sense is trying to emerge.
2ļøā£ Reassess: This is a good time to look in the mirror as objectively as possible. Whatās working well? What would you like to change as we head into summer and fall?
3ļøā£ Tend to Your Energy: There is a ton of energy coming in this summer. It can be overwhelming. Tend to your own energy by allowing yourself time to relax and pay attention to your thoughts, words, and actions.
4ļøā£ Write it Down: This is a good time for introspection. Grab your journal and engage in automatic writing. Let the words flow. Feel your emotions. Write down what you want.
š Weāre in it now with the wild and wooly summer of 2025. Stay sharp, stay nimble, and do your best to flow with life. You can always shape the life you want. Youāre never, ever stuck in your story.
Trust yourself and be well.
Letās have a good week!

My 1:1 coaching focuses on meeting people at the point where theyāve experienced a life storm, one of those uncomfortable plot twists, or just a time when things arenāt quite working out anymore, and helping them reconstruct, and even build their life back better than it was before. Thereās a process I teach that is all about building the life you canāt wait to wake up to and it all starts here.
I offer individual sessions, 6-week programs, 3-month programs, and 6-month programs. The length you need is determined by the storm youāre encountering and what your goals are in terms of shaping your next steps. I typically determine this in a free 20-minute call I always have with clients before we work together.
