This LAST WEEK OF MERCURY RETROGRADE is all about boundaries and breakthroughs, bb.
Love Readings continue to be discounted through Mercury Retrograde (July 23rd)!
Let's go.
Monday, July 20th
"Don't put all your eggs in one basket" and "Spread the wealth." Today you may feel like putting all your energy into one place. But the energy supports decreasing the risk of a one-option success or failure by creating multiple opportunities instead of relying on a single path to work out. For example, if you're job hunting, you're going to apply for 100 positions (hyperbole, people). Not just one. Widen your focus. By investing in several possibilities, you reduce the pressure on any one outcome and allow more than one door to open. Ya feel me?
Tuesday, July 21st
This is a boundary day. There may have been something recently that acted as a catalyst for conflict, and today it feels like that energy resurfaces. There's a push-pull dynamic of, "Well, you didn't..." followed by, "No, you didn't..." It's the back-and-forth, he said/she said energy that can quickly become exhausting. It may even feel like someone is directing their frustration, blame, or actions toward you. Whether that's actually the case or simply how the energy is being experienced, today supports standing firm in your boundaries rather than getting pulled into the cycle.
Remember, a boundary isn't saying, "Don't talk to me like that!" A boundary is saying, "If you continue speaking to me like this, I'm going to leave the conversation." The boundary isn't about controlling someone else's behavior. It's about deciding what you'll do if that boundary is crossed, and then following through with it. A helpful mantra for today is: "I want to engage while holding my boundary, but not take on the energy."
Wednesday, July 22nd
Wednesday feels like a breakthrough day. It's a day of recognizing where you've been burning the candle at both ends... while also holding a lighter to the middle of it. In other words, you've been asking far too much of yourself, and your energy reserves are running low. Whatever area of your life this applies to (read: work, relationships, caregiving, or all of the above) there's a moment of awareness that says, "Oh... I need to pull back here." It might also spark the question, "Where do I actually want to invest my energy now?"
You're allowed to redirect your focus. You're allowed to dream, explore, and begin planting seeds in other areas of your life. This ties back to Monday's message: don't put all your eggs in one basket. When you plant a garden, you don't put a single seed in the ground and hope for the best. You plant many.
There may be a breakthrough around something you're suddenly drawn to next. For some of you, it may even become your newest hyperfixation. But this one reconnects you with yourself. It brings a sense of calm, creativity, or play rather than pressure. I'm seeing some of you get hooked on on crocheting. See what I did there? Because you use a hook to crochet? k bye.
Thursday, July 23rd
Thursday's message is: "Harboring resentment." For some of you, today continues Wednesday's theme of breakthroughs. For others, it circles back to boundaries. Either way, the underlying energy feels rooted in resentment. Toward a person, a community, a workplace, an educational experience, a family dynamic, or a situation that just felt deeply unfair. The message isn't that your feelings are wrong. In fact, it feels like your feelings make perfect sense. The challenge is that this resentment has become an anchor. It's an energy you keep circling back to, one that continues taking up space within you long after the original event has passed.
The energy supports asking yourself, "Am I ready to loosen my grip on this?" Not because what happened was okay, and not because you're being asked to excuse anyone's behavior, but because carrying it is costing you your peace. For some of you, this may even be showing up in physical ailments.
It almost feels you're waiting for the situation to resolve itself. Is that an apology? Acknowledgment? Justice? Closure? Has the resentment quietly become part of your identity instead of something you're moving through? Your healing likely begins the moment you recognize how tightly you've been holding onto the hurt... instead of waiting for somebody's actions.
Today isn't about pretending it didn't happen. It's about deciding that what happened no longer gets to define where you're going next.
Friday, July 24th
Friday feels like a major breakthrough day. There’s a strong sense of momentum here, and it circles all the way back to Monday’s message that has been quietly weaving (get it?) through the entire week: don’t put all your eggs in one basket.
Whatever seeds you've been planting, applications you've been submitting, conversations you've been having, or opportunities you've been exploring, today feels like the point where some of those efforts begin to bear fruit. For some, this may look like hearing back about a job interview, receiving an educational acceptance, being presented with a new opportunity, or finally getting clarity on a decision you've been waiting for.
When opportunities begin arriving, it's easy to rush ahead into the future or immediately start worrying about making the "right" choice. Instead, allow yourself to receive the information as it comes. You don't need to have every answer figured out today. You simply need to remain open to what is unfolding. The suggested advice? Stay present.
That said, not every answer you receive today will necessarily be the one you were hoping for. Some of you may hear a "no." Maybe the position didn't work out, the house wasn't approved, the opportunity went in a different direction, or the outcome wasn't what you envisioned. That doesn't mean disappointment won't sting. BUT it does mean that what is meant for you remains available to you.
Signs, symbols, and synchronicities for the week:

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!
