Welcome to Virgo Season ♍✨—or as I like to call it, “get your life together” season. On Friday, the Sun moves out of fiery Leo into grounded Virgo, and just a few hours later, we have a powerful New Moon in Virgo. Virgo season is that bridge between summer and fall. You can feel the shift as the days shorten and the mornings get crisper.

Virgo energy is all about organization, wellness, and self-improvement. It’s the perfect time to get routines in order, make lists, and bring more structure to daily life. Think back-to-school vibes: fresh supplies, cozy sweaters, and a feeling of gearing up for something new. This energy helps calm anxiety and makes us feel more balanced in uncertain times.

This particular Virgo season is supercharged. 🌑 On Aug. 22 we get the first of two Virgo New Moons in a row, and this one falls at 0° Virgo—one of the most potent degrees of the zodiac. It also kicks off eclipse season, opening the eclipse portal that will bring sudden shifts and realign us with our purpose. Add in a rare “Finger of God” aspect pointing to destiny, and we’ve got a cosmic cocktail for profound new beginnings.

A New Moon at 0° Virgo is a blank slate. The retrogrades have helped us clear out outdated beliefs, and now it’s time to start fresh. A great ritual is writing down what you’re ready to release and symbolically letting it go—like sending it up in a sky lantern. ✨ This is a time to plant new seeds and embrace the unexpected changes coming our way.

To work with Virgo’s energy, make lists, check things off, and focus on practical steps, whether that’s decluttering, improving wellness routines, or wrapping up summer fun before fall arrives. Remember, even simple tasks can become a spiritual practice when we do them with presence. As the old saying goes: “Before enlightenment, chop wood, carry water. After enlightenment, chop wood, carry water.”

We made it, friends! 🙌 Mercury retrograde ends Monday the 11th, which means clearer thinking, fewer tech glitches, and the green light to move forward. That post-retrograde “shadow phase” is still here for a bit, but things that felt stuck are finally shifting. After the wild ride of this summer, it feels so good to be heading toward something new.

The real showstopper this week is Tuesday the 12th, one of the luckiest days of the year, when Venus (love, beauty, connection) meets Jupiter (luck, abundance, expansion) in Cancer 🦀. This only happens in Cancer once every 12 years, and it’s lining up perfectly with Mercury going direct and the last day of the Lion’s Gate Portal. Talk about perfect timing! Expect big boosts in love, relationships, finances, and just falling in love with life again.

And the magic doesn’t stop there. This week also brings the peak of the Perseid meteor shower, with 60–100 shooting stars an hour between August 9–13. Spiritually, the Perseids are like a cosmic cleanse, burning away old patterns and supercharging your wishes. Plus, we’ve got a six-planet parade in the sky and a chance to catch the northern lights. It’s basically the universe’s firework finale. 

Yes, Saturn, Neptune, and Pluto are still retrograde, but since they’re outer planets, they’re shaping the collective more than your personal day-to-day. Think big shifts in political, economic, and social systems—deep stuff being brought to the surface so it can finally heal. But the intense summer stretch? It’s winding down, and it’s time to breathe again. 

So this week, lean into joy. Go on a date, plan something romantic with your partner, cozy up your home, or just sit under the night sky and remember how magical it all is. We’ve earned this moment. Let it refill your cup before the next chapter begins. 🌙✨

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.

Time keeps moving, and this week on Tuesday, the 22nd, we shift from the watery flow of Cancer into the fiery, bold energy of Leo and the heart of summer. Leo Season is when everything feels alive and abundant. This is our time to step into the spotlight as the main character of our lives, remembering we’re not just the star—we’re the director, writer, casting agent, and set designer of our story.

This Leo Season comes with a lot of reflection energy, thanks to Mercury retrograde in Leo and three other planets retrograde too. All this retrograde energy is pushing us to review our “life movie.” Are we happy with the story we’re telling? Do we love the setting, the people we’ve cast, the plot, and even how we’ve written our own character? Or is it time to rewrite the script into something more joyful, abundant, and magical?

It might not feel easy right now. The second half of July through August 6 is intense—maybe the most challenging stretch of the year. But hang in there, because the energy softens soon. Starting August 6th, a Grand Water Trine brings a wave of ease and everything will flow more smoothly. Relief is just around the corner.

We also have a New Moon in Leo on Thursday, the 24th. This moon reminds us that the highest vibration of Leo is simplicity. Like the lion, we don’t need to prove or push, we can just be. This New Moon invites us to strip away the noise, release control (especially the control we put on ourselves), and reconnect with what’s real and essential. It’s a powerful reset point to step into a new chapter with confidence and clarity.

With this New Moon, all the retrogrades, and Uranus shaking things up in Gemini, the universe is basically handing us a pause button. It’s saying, “Reflect. Rethink. Reset.” We’re in a 9 year, a year of endings and beginnings, and after all the shifts we’ve been through, it’s time to consciously create what’s next. This Leo Season, let’s own every part of our story and direct our lives like the epic, soul-aligned blockbusters they’re meant to be.

🌌 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

🔥 Aries Energy = Identity, Anger & Awakening

📉 Mercury Retrograde in Leo = Slow Down & Recalibrate

💛 The Summer of Truth

Uranus moves into Gemini on 7/7. This huge cosmic shift marks a collective and personal turning point. Uranus is the planet of shock, disruption, and breakthroughs, and it hasn’t been in Gemini since 1942. Back then, the world was at war, and technology was transforming communication. Sound familiar? Swap radio for AI, and we’re living in a modern version of that energy. Buckle up—this transit brings fast-moving change and radical awakenings. ⚡🌀

Uranus in Gemini accelerates everything: how we think, communicate, and connect. It also intensifies division and duality, pushing us to challenge old beliefs and open our minds. And because it’s happening on 7/7, a day of spiritual awakening and divine alignment, it’s not just change, it’s evolution. You may feel like old parts of your identity or life are rapidly crumbling. That’s not failure - it’s transformation. 🌈🔮

This energy asks us to surrender. Holding on to what was will only make the shift harder. You don’t need to have it all figured out. Just stay grounded, open, and in your truth. These are quantum leap vibes, and we rarely feel ready when the leap arrives. Your soul work now is to stay balanced, so you can rise into what’s next. 🧘‍♀️🌟

And there’s more! On Thursday, 7/10, we’ve got a Capricorn Full Moon. The Buck Moon is a time of growth, responsibility, and realignment. If Uranus is the wake-up call, this Full Moon is solid ground. It’s here to help you step into your power, take ownership, and make bold, clear choices for your life. No bypassing. No hiding. 💼🔥

Let this week be the beginning of your next chapter. You were made for this moment. Let Uranus shake things up, let the Full Moon ground you, and let your soul take the lead. We’re not just watching history unfold—we are the unfolding. It’s all happening now. 💫🌕🚀

Welcome to July—a powerful pivot point in the year! Think of it as a transition month, and with every transition comes a chance for growth, especially spiritual growth. In numerology, July is a 7 Universal Month, which means it’s time to slow down, reflect, and tune in. When you combine this 7 energy with the 9 Universal Year we’re in, you get a major hermit mode vibe, quiet, introspective, and full of soul-searching.
