#393 - Weekly Energy Update for July 13-20: Mercury & Saturn Retrograde

8 minutes

🌌 Retrograde Season Is in Full Swing! Saturn goes retrograde today, Sunday the 13th, and Mercury follows on Friday the 18th—joining Pluto and Neptune, who are already in retrograde. With four major planets appearing to move backward, this is a powerful moment to pause, reflect, and do a deep energetic clean-up. It’s review season, not launch season—so don’t push forward. Instead, focus on realignment and inner work. ✨

🪐 Saturn in Aries = Life Review & Karma Check

Saturn retrograde is your cosmic gut-check. Are you happy with your life? If not, this is the moment to make some changes. Saturn in Aries pushes us to step into personal responsibility and reset our direction. And because it’s paired with Neptune retrograde in Aries, a combo we haven’t seen since the 1870s, it’s triggering a massive identity shift. Who are you really? That’s what this summer is here to reveal. 💫

🔥 Aries Energy = Identity, Anger & Awakening

Aries rules identity and anger, so don’t be surprised if you're feeling frustrated or lost. It’s not a breakdown—it’s an awakening. If you’ve been chasing goals out of ego or survival, burnout may hit hard. The universe is asking you to realign with your soul. Many of us will see this play out in our work. What used to work just isn’t anymore—and it’s time to build something better, rooted in authenticity, not hustle. 🌿

📉 Mercury Retrograde in Leo = Slow Down & Recalibrate

Mercury joins the retrograde party on Friday the 18th. Expect tech glitches, delays, and old lovers popping up. This retrograde is here to help us recalibrate, not punish us. Since it’s happening in Leo, hold off on big changes to your appearance.

💛 The Summer of Truth

This is a season of deep reflection and soul realignment. It may feel emotional, but it’s exactly what we need to return to our spiritual practices, reset our minds, and refresh our lives. Let go of what no longer fits. Align with your truth. This retrograde energy is clearing space for something more real. Be gentle with yourself and trust that everything unfolding is guiding you to a life that feels more you. This is the Summer of Truth, for your life, your purpose, and our world. 🌞🕊️
