Beginning July 13th, Saturn Retrograde in Aries initiates a slow, introspective phase that focuses on maturity, responsibility, and practical action, prompting us to re-evaluate our foundations. It highlights the divine masculine as an inclusive force of drive and secure presence, emphasizing authentic, organic flow over rigid control.  From July 18th to August 11th, Mercury Retrograde in Leo will dampen external creative expression and soften the ego's voice. While Leo typically "roars," this retrograde encourages a more subtle, heart-centered approach to self-expression. It's a time for revision, not launching new projects, allowing you to refine how you genuinely share your light. As the Sun enters Leo on July 22nd, a desire for playfulness emerges. Embrace this summertime fun vibe with enjoyable activities that balance your masculine and feminine energies. The New Moon in Leo on July 24th at 3:11 PM ET calls for stillness and amplifying your light from within. It signifies a rebirth of authentic self-expression, shifting your energy towards presence over performance. Use this time to set intentions for showing up unapologetically and reclaiming joy as a sacred practice. Chiron Retrograde begins July 30th in Aries, surfacing wounds around identity, ego, anger, and rage. Chiron, the wounded healer, reminds us that sharing our deepest traumas can lead to healing for ourselves and others. Chiron's conjunction with Asteroid Ares brings divine discord to reveal truth and force issues to a head. This period is about being forged by fire, stripping away old layers to birth your divine warrior. Reclaim your sacred rage—allowing passion and anger to flow through you honorably, without directing it at others.  This is a beautiful time to reorient your core power. What does presence feel like to you? What are you truly present for, and what is your presence radiating? Your gift lies in the present moment. ​​Join Amanda for a FREE 30-minute live Full Moon Ceremony via Zoom on Thursday, July 10 at 7:00 PM CST.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
