The Sun in Leo invites you to shine your Big Light, to express your Self and notice what, if anything, inhibits you from showing up all the way. Check for inner messages that dim your light or choices you’ve made that have created a life that limits you or your opportunities. Anything that prevents you from radiating with an open heart is calling for healing – and the timing is perfect…
July 27 – Dec 23, Chiron Retrograde (The Wounded Healer Archetype). It’s time for an honest look at your identity to see if you are hiding in a role, behind a mask, in a dysfunctional setup, operating from beliefs that keep you small – or living freely as the loving Authentic You.
With Chiron in Aries, the mission is to be your Self, trust what’s true for you deep inside as being right and to go for it! No permission or approval required. With Chiron Retrograde and Mercury Retrograde in August, the call for review and reexamination is doubled.
Do the work and allow the tender inner wounds to be seen, heard and addressed with compassion using modalities that help to set you free. The goal is to clear that which is not You. Doubts, insecurities, and trying to be anything or anyone else is a road that will only cause you misalignment, confusion, disappointment and/or heartache, as you are a Being with a purpose that only You can fulfill.
July 26 – The Lion’s Gate Portal opens today and will be exact on 8-8 when the Sun in Leo is in alignment with Sirius (the brightest star in the sky) and Earth. Higher frequencies are already flowing in, allowing you to connect to your Spirit and All That Is with greater access and less resistance. More to come…
July 30 – Venus trine Chiron offers opportunities for heart healing. This can range from apologies and reconnections addressing deep heart-wounds that created walls of protection that have been in place for years. This is dedicated healing work with an experienced guide who can lead you, step by step, back to your innocence that is still fully intact in a safe space within.
Venus trine Chiron might indicate finding the right healer, spiritual teacher or opening your heart where it had been closed due to old wounds, indoctrinated beliefs or reconnecting to your innocence in some way. It is a compassionate energy and I wish you an experience that is meaningful on this day. If you want to reconnect or make amends to someone, this is a perfect day to do it. The world is desperately in need of compassion – and when you give it, you receive the love in return.
To honor Chiron trine Venus, I offer you The Goodness Process, which is a powerful mantra:
“I AM the essence of Pure Goodness. My Goodness has nothing to do with my actions or the actions of anyone else.”
Mercury Retrograde is from Aug 5-28 and it’s now in its pre-Retrograde Shadow. All that occurs from now on will be reviewed during the Retrograde period thru Sept 13 (the post-Retrograde Shadow). With Mercury in Virgo, details and systems are on the menu, so you can begin putting things in order, sorting and discarding and clearing. Back up your info, check travel schedules and car maintenance.
I suggest that you take advantage of the healing energies available this week as you prepare for Mercury Retrograde. Think about the care you can give your body, mind and spirit – and what you might share with others. If you have extra space, you can use it either by having fun and playing (a Sun in Leo activity) and by adding practices that are health-related (diet, physical care) – a Mercury in Virgo activity – or combine the two (a beach workout or long beach walk).
The goal is to live in love and light, on purpose, with Self-love and compassion for All.
