27 JULY - 2 AUGUST 2025
After weeks of wandering through a slow, hazy pause, something begins to turn this week, subtly, softly, but undeniably. It’s as though the ground beneath us is no longer still, but stirring with the whisper of what’s next. I pray you can feel it too?
We are entering a new chapter, not one that slams the door behind us, but one that gently opens a window. The air is changing. The energy is shifting from retrospective and internal to forward-facing and intuitive.
There’s still integration unfolding, yes. But now, a quiet clarity is returning. We are beginning to feel ready, not to run, but to take meaningful steps forward, and a jog may be.The fog is lifting. The pressure is easing. The path ahead still bends, but we’re starting to see the way to go and there are shimmers of this incredible light coming through.
This week, let your heart lead the way. Let your body catch up to your soul's knowing. Let forward feel tender, not rushed.
🔭 Key Astrology and Themes
July 30 – Chiron Retrograde in Aries
The Wounded Healer turns inward. Chiron in Aries asks us to meet our pain not as weakness, but as wisdom. Old wounds may whisper this week—not to haunt you, but to remind you of how far you’ve come. Healing now asks for presence, not perfection. We don’t have to fix what we can finally accept.Soul Invitation: Let your pain be a portal to power. Meet yourself with reverence.
July 30 – Venus Enters Cancer
Venus slips into soft, nurturing waters. Our desires become more heartfelt, more connected to home, family, and the places that restore us. Beauty is in simplicity now. Love is in the quiet moments. Create space for tenderness, and allow your heart to feel safe again.Soul Invitation: Make your home a sanctuary. Let softness become your strength.
August 1 – Venus Square Saturn + Neptune
Our hearts face a crossroads. Saturn wants structure. Neptune wants surrender. Venus stands between them, asking: What does real love look like—for others, and for yourself? You may feel unsure, but clarity comes when you honor both your boundaries and your dreams.Soul Invitation: Ground your fantasies. Expand your love within safe, soulful spaces.

✨ Affirmation of the Week
"I soften into clarity. I lead with love. I trust the turn."
This week is a gentle turning of the tide. We were not lost; we have been undergoing spiritual reorientation. Now we let the wisdom of our wounds guide us home, guide us forward. The wounds are no longer our shackles; those days are gone.
Let softness lead. Let clarity unfold. There is nothing to prove. Only the truth to remember.
You are becoming who you’ve always been. Not by force, but by coming closer to your essence.
The next chapter does not demand a leap, just a return.
So return. To what matters. To what steadies. To what loves you back. Turn away from what no longer aligns, with no guilt. This is the new way.
We’re at the beginning of the beginning. Let yourself feel the shift even if it’s small. Even if it’s slow. This week brings heart-led movement, soul-deep reminders, and the chance to say: I’m ready.
I love you,
Sarah
