🦀Cancer's Embrace, 🦁Leo's Roar: Navigating Mercury Retrograde



Step into the magic, Coven Kin. We're in the final week of Cancer season, soaking up the last drops of its nurturing, intuitive wisdom before the Sun shifts into vibrant Leo on July 22nd.

This tender transition asks us to integrate the emotional depths we've explored and prepare to boldly express our truth. But there's another cosmic whisper on the horizon: Mercury Retrograde in Leo begins on July 18th, lasting until August 11th.

This particular retrograde invites us to re-think, re-evaluate, and re-imagine how we shine, communicate, and lead from the heart. While retrogrades can sometimes bring communication snafus, they are truly profound periods for introspection and refining our personal power.

This week, let's anchor the lessons of Cancer and prepare to roar our truth, with a touch of retrograde wisdom.

♌️ Reclaiming Your Voice: A Mercury Retrograde Prep Ritual♌️

You’ll need: A notebook, a pen, and a clear quartz crystal(or any crystal you associate with clarity).

Find a quiet spot where you can reflect. Hold your crystal, allowing its clarity to center your thoughts.

In your notebook, free-write about what true self-expression means to you. Where do you feel fully seen and heard? Where might your voice feel stifled?

Next, write down any fears or insecurities related to speaking your truth. Acknowledge them without judgment. Gently place the crystal on top of your written words. Whisper aloud:

"As Cancer wisdom guides, and Leo's spirit roars, I reclaim my voice. May clarity and confidence open new doors."

Keep this notebook and crystal near you throughout the retrograde as a reminder to speak authentically and review your self-expression.
