This week we're encouraged to persist through the instability. The energy for the week is coming through as unstable, spinny, and dizzying. It may feel like entering a spinning portal to intense personal breakthroughs and collective shifts.
Astrologically, this week and next week are BIG. I'm not going into it much here because that's not really my lane. BUT. We're gonna feel it.
Find a focal point to help you (read: use your favorite grounding techniques).
Take care of your physical body (I cannot stress this enough).
Ask for help.
Let's go.
Monday, July 13th (New Moon in Cancer)
I keep hearing, "and there she fell." There may be awkward, uncomfortable energy and/or scenarios today. Sometimes you're the one who falls and needs a leg up. Sometimes you're the one who can help. Whichever side you find yourself on today, meet it with grace. There is no shame in needing support, and there is no superiority in being able to give it. We all take turns carrying and being carried.
Tuesday, July 14th
I'm hearing Summertime Sadness x Lana Del Rey while seeing the Justice card. Together, they bring up themes of emotional honesty and recognizing when something isn't being equally reciprocated. It feels like someone may extend an emotional "crumb" today (e.g., an invitation, a date, an offer to spend time together, or to be a plus-one). The offer actually feels tentative like someone is dipping their toe in the water to see what happens. The energy doesn't feel mutual though. There's a sense of unrequited feelings or one person being more invested than the other.
Keep in mind that not every offer is meant to be accepted simply because it's offered. Sometimes the most balanced, self-honoring response is recognizing when something doesn't align.
For many of you, this feels like the answer will be "no." Not from a place of punishment or rejection, but from clarity. And yes, someone's ego may be a little bruised today.
Choosing what feels reciprocal, genuine, and aligned with your worth is an act of self-respect. Every "no" creates space for the "yes" that's meant to meet you with equal energy.
Wednesday, July 15th
I'm seeing the image of Bambi trying to walk on ice. Legs sliding in every direction. Struggling to find solid footing. It's awkward. Unsteady. A little embarrassing. AND I'm hearing Summertime Sadness x Lana Del Rey again. It's giving bittersweet and emotionally vulnerable.
Just like the ice to Bambi's gait, something catches you off guard today. What you didn't anticipate is actually much more aligned with your path. And much closer to entering your energy than you realized. It has something to do with commitment, releasing the need to control every outcome, and for some of you, another person. Rather than forcing something into place, this feels like allowing yourself to be surprised by what naturally unfolds.
I'm also hearing, "I'm all out of flowers... can I interest you in a joke?" It's very Chandler Bing-coded. Endearingly awkward. Someone may not know exactly what to say or how to show up, so they lead with humor, nervousness, or imperfect attempts instead of polished words. It has that same Bambi-on-the-ice energy (read: not smooth or graceful). But it's genuine.
The reminder here is that awkward doesn't mean wrong. Just because something feels unfamiliar, vulnerable, or a little clumsy doesn't mean it's not meant for you. It feels like a commitment, opportunity, or deeper level of connection is moving into your energy that you didn't see coming. What first appears uncertain may simply be something finding its footing (awww).
Thursday, July 16th
I heard, "You thought the beginning of the week was rough? Oh, baby..." The energy is definitely picking up. I'm hearing Move Along x The All-American Rejects. Life isn't slowing down, but it is asking you to keep moving with it.
I'll be honest, this feels a little dizzying. I'm being shown a tornado spinning, a whirlwind of movement, thoughts, conversations, and responsibilities. It can create that mental feeling of, "I don't even know where to look first." If you've ever seen Dirty Dancing, it reminds me of Johnny Castle spinning Baby around the dance floor. She's trying to orient herself, and then he says, "Look at me." (yes, sir.)
That's the message coming through today. When everything around you feels like it's moving too fast, don't try to track every single thing that's spinning. The movement isn't necessarily the problem; it's trying to keep your eyes on everything at once. Find your focal point. Choose one thing to anchor your attention to. This is also one of those days where asking for help is encouraged. You don't have to navigate every moving piece on your own, and you don't have to pretend you have it all figured out. Slow your breathing. Get outside if you can. Put your feet on the earth. Drink some water. Return to the present moment whenever your mind starts chasing the whirlwind.
Friday, July 17th
Friday's energy feels noticeably more grounded. Things begin to even out (even if it's only for a little while). I'm reminded of Finding Nemo when the characters are riding the East Australian Current. The current carries them for a while, but they know it's time to hop off and continue the next part of their journey.
After being swept up in everything this week (read: the emotions, the unexpected twists, the constant movement) today you finally have a chance to catch your breath and gather yourself. Take advantage of this steadier energy. Tie up loose ends. Rest if you need to. And reconnect with yourself before whatever comes next.
Signs, symbols, and synchronicities for the week:
alignment: yellow birds
whoopsies: lions, tridents
Angel numbers for the week:
222, 333, 911, 777
You can change your signs, symbols, and synchronicities at any time! Check-in with your Spirit Team and decide what aligns with you best. After all, this is your connection to your Team and Spirit.
Remember to ask your Spirit Team for help. It doesn't have to be formal. They're your buds and love you. They want to help you; it's literally their job. But. You do have to ask them. You can be as general or as specific as you want.
You're beautiful. You're worthy. Let's do this on purpose.
Have a great week!
