Scared Revision & Soul Awakening

6 - 12 JULY 2025

This week, we find ourselves in the middle of this season of pause and powerful reflection. The cosmic tides remain calm and slow, inviting us to look back over the paths we have walked for decades and to ask, with honesty and grace: Is this still where my heart longs to go?

July is woven with the energy of retrogrades — Neptune, Saturn, Mercury, and Chiron each turning their gaze inward, urging us to revisit, revise, and reimagine the structures of our lives. This is not about punishment, but about soul-deep realignment. We are being gifted a chance to pause before we move forward — to clear away the confusion, to listen again, and to choose with presence.

This week still carries a sense of holy stillness like standing barefoot on sacred ground, feeling into the new direction before you take your first step. There is a sense of quiet anticipation, as if something is preparing to blossom, but the petals are still closed.

You may feel:

🌿 a slow, heavy pace with moments of mental scatter

🌿 waves of nostalgia, revisiting past choices or relationships

🌿 deep longing for clarity and emotional steadiness

🌿 occasional frustration at why things feel delayed or muddled

🌿 sudden sparks of inspiration or future vision

This is pause energy, but not stagnant, more like the quiet gathering of momentum before a shift. There is a powerful undercurrent of change brewing under the surface, asking you to pay attention to subtle insights, synchronicities, and intuitive nudges. The shift is not far away now. Be patient once the full moon passes things will feel different. Surrender and go with the flow fully trusting where the cosmic current is taking you.

✨ Affirmation of the Week

"I trust the timing of my life. I honour the pause, I welcome the shifts, and I rise in gentle alignment with my highest truth."

If this week feels heavy or unclear, let that be okay. These retrogrades and the fullness of the Capricorn Moon are stirring up old layers for healing and release. The Sirius Gateway brings a divine light to remind you of what is sacred and true.

Move gently. Speak softly. Let your dreams breathe.

There is magic in this pause — a pause that will help you choose wisely when you begin to move forward again.

This is a week of sacred revision — a gentle unraveling of what no longer serves you, and a remembering of what does. Trust the cosmic slowdown. Trust the rewiring of your dreams. The Universe is preparing you for breakthroughs that will unfold in divine time.

Let your heart breathe. Let your mind wander. Let your soul listen.

You are becoming.

With so much love,

Sarah
