Podcast Introduction & Personal Journey

Speaker 1

Welcome to the Rochelle Christiane podcast , formerly the Emotional Mastery podcast . I'm Rochelle , your host . I'm here to help you come back to your body , take charge of your emotions and live life on your terms . This podcast is a space for raw , real conversations about what it means to trust yourself , lean into your power and create a life that feels aligned and alive . We'll explore human design , astrology and other tools to help you understand your unique energy . More importantly , though , we're going to talk about what it means to actually live and embody these aspects . So each week , I'm going to share stories , lessons , guidance to help you navigate life's challenges and really own your magic . So if you're ready to step up , take control and show up as the most authentic version of you , let's begin . Welcome back to another episode on the podcast Today . I have so much to say , so we're going to try and get through all of this in a reasonable amount of time . We'll see . So this episode is coming out July 24th , which is the new moon in Leo . Now , there is so much to say about this moon , and I'm going to get into that in a little bit . I just also want to talk a little bit about what I'm learning through this manifestation process .

Speaker 1

About three weeks ago , I decided I was going all in . I mean , why not Kind of like rock bottom place ? I'm going all in . I'm meditating two to three times a day . I'm working on my body , I'm focusing on my mindset . I'm doing things at night . I'm literally only listening to music while I work out at the gym . Otherwise , I'm listening to Neville Goddard . I'm listening to just like really inspiring things that are reminding me of the place that I want to go . I'm continually asking myself what would the version of myself that I'm calling in , what would she do ? How would she show up ? How would she walk , how would she hold herself ? What would she do in this moment ? What actions would she take ? So I'm really doing like I said , I'm going all in on this , and one thing that has been very loud to me over the last I don't know , like week or so , probably more than that , but what's really coming through is that I feel like the thing , the piece that we don't talk a lot about in the manifestation world is discipline , and in human design I have four right-facing arrows . I only have one left-facing arrow and that arrow is my bottom right arrow . So that's just like the way the lens , my perspective right , it's how I view life , it's my manifestation . Style is left facing , so it's like active , it's being very specific , and so I'm a 6'3" , I'm an MG , so my life has been very fluid . There are a lot of places I'm just kind of a little duality , I'm a juxtaposition , I'm just sort of both and in how I operate . But discipline has always been really challenging for me . I have my unconscious son in gate 30 . And basically what all of this means is a roundabout way of me saying that discipline for me has been harder in the past to do .

Speaker 1

So I love food , I love to eat . I am plant-based I have been for 15 years . I'm very health conscious , so I try and do the best that I can . But I also like to eat , and so I've always kind of worked to find a way to marry the two , where I'm eating food that lights me up , that excites me , while also focusing on my health and focusing on feeling good in my body and all of those things .

Speaker 1

But meditation has always been really challenging for me . I've always kind of gone all in for a little bit and then dipped out of it . Alcohol also been up and down with for years , and so for three weeks now , like I said , I've just been going all in . I'm not drinking , I'm being very mindful about what I'm eating , I'm moving my body every single day , I'm meditating two to three times a day . Again , I'm just being very intentional and , although my outer reality is catching up to it , I just feel this excitement and this love for life and this love for myself and this gratitude for , just like me , in this body , experiencing this life and all the things that come with it , and it's dramatically shifting my perspective . And that discipline that's required to get there feels actually really empowering and really good .

Speaker 1

And I'm not saying you have to be disciplined in in like not have fun . That's , I think , a misperception and misconception . But it's like if you can be disciplined , like 80 to 90 percent of the time , and then that 10 to 20 percent , you know the 80 20 rule . Right where you let loose , you have fun , you do all the things , but like having so much awareness where , like , for me , feeling good has always been a priority in my journey . Feeling good has always been a priority in my journey . Feeling good has always been a priority , and so that's why I stopped drinking for a while . I stopped drinking for a year and then I'll do it for three months here and there , a month here and there .

Speaker 1

This time again , it just feels I feel so good . I always forget how good I feel when I'm sober and because , again , like feeling good as a priority and even like a couple of drinks I just feel off the next day . I can feel it in my system . So , just being very intentional about , like , before I do something , do I do it . You know , am I doing it with the intention to just feel good , if that makes sense , or am I doing it because I feel like I have to or whatever ? But like that discipline of like okay , I'm not going to drink today , and like sticking with it and the way that I kind of trickle my mind sometimes is like it doesn't mean that I'm not going to do it ever again . It's just like today , right , tomorrow we'll reassess , we'll see what we feel and chances are by tomorrow if I commit to doing it tomorrow . But it's like keeping those commitments with yourself and being disciplined with yourself .

Speaker 1

Like there have been mornings where I wake up , where I'm like I always talk about . Getting up in the morning is always so difficult . I have like multiple alarms , I snooze , I'm in bed to the last , very last minute and so lately , you know for no reason , in when I was in Colorado , I was just waking up early and I was like , wow , this actually feels really good Like getting up early , and I was going outside and I was journaling and I was meditating all of this before like 8am and I was like , whoa , this is something and so . But the key was to shift my mindset , that internal narrative , from oh my gosh , I have to get up early . I wish I could just sleep an extra hour to when that alarm goes off .

Speaker 1

You're like , no , I get to get up early , I get to meditate , I get to set my day up in a way that supports me and I feel so good , right , and so I'm just gonna continue sharing as I go along this journey of like what's happening and being setting a lot of boundaries , you know , with myself and others , because this is an area I've really , really struggled with in my past is setting boundaries . I've traditionally been codependent , people pleasing , and so just like honoring that part of myself of like no , this doesn't feel good for me , I'm not gonna do this anymore . Or , more specifically and more importantly , coming into my emotional authority and taking the pause right before I make a decision , before I make an action , to really honor , like who I am and what I actually want . Like is this action aligned with that higher version of self , continually checking in with her and being like , okay , if somebody I mean even in romantic relationships , because that's always like my biggest challenge where it's like if I'm , if somebody wants to come over and my people-pleasing side is like wants to say yes , and then that you know , desire , the urge , the whatever , that whatever we want to call it side of me is like , yes , I would love to have you over . But then , like , checking in with myself , be like , okay , how am I actually going to feel tomorrow ? What ? What would my higher self do ? Would she allow this or would she ask for more ? Because that's what she actually wants . And so honoring that part of myself

The Power of Discipline in Manifestation

Speaker 1

which is really challenging , really challenging , especially when you've traditionally just like abandon yourself in that way . So that's sort of like the little catch up on where I'm at in my manifestation process and , like I said , I'm going to be sharing more about that as I go . My sixth line is just like really feeling called to share .

Speaker 1

If you want to join me on the journey , you can join your sacred unraveling , which is a telegram membership group where we're going through the gene keys , where every single month is a new theme . So we're going being heart open and heart led and feeling safe in our body this month . The next month is Virgo , so we're really going to look at our , our routines and habits in our health , like what's supporting us , what's not Libra balance , right , aesthetics , like all the things . So , anyway , so it's going to be an ongoing astrological , human design based space where you can come and , kind of like , join us in there . We're going through the gene or the Venus sequence currently , because the Venus sequence is all about opening your heart and coming into yourself and doing that inner work . Whether you're in partnership or not , there are different ways that we can do the work and we are talking all about that inside the membership . So , again , the link is in the show notes . You can join us over there .

Speaker 1

Holistic Human Design Academy next live round begins August 4th . So this is really coming into yourself , learning the foundation of your design , your astrology , and then we build upon that through the nine modules . We talk about energetics . We talk about the emotional solar plexus , we talk about emotions . We talk about safety regulation , nervous system regulation . We talk about manifestation , shadow work , subconscious reprogramming , and then finally we end with the gene keys and then every single week we have a live call where we really tap into somatic practices to anchor this into your body . So this is such a powerful space . I run this program a couple times a year . So if you want to join , the link for that is also down in the show notes .

Speaker 1

Let's move on to the new moon , because this is like the thing today . So this new moon is happening at Leo , at two degrees of Leo . Leo is the heart , right . Leo rules the heart . It also rules the spine . So we think about the heart and the spine . These are like life giving parts of our body . We cannot survive without the heart and we cannot survive without the spine right , the spine does so much for our nervous system , it does so much for our , you know , setting . It's just . The spine is so important . I'm not a doctor , but the spine is incredibly important . The sun rules Leo . When we think of the sun , it's warm . Again , it's life-giving . It shines on everything . It literally is the source of life . If we do not have the sun , there is no life , and so Leo is so important .

Speaker 1

Leo is dramatic , leo is the actor . Leo likes to be seen . It gets a bad reputation for being the center of attention and all those things , but in its highest expression , like , yes , it is on stage because , just because it shines so brightly , people are naturally going to look at it . So , finding your chart , where Leo is , what house it rules , if there's any planets there , all that stuff . There is so much going on with this moon .

Speaker 1

So we currently right now as I'm recording this , which is Wednesday , which we're still going to be in the energy of during the new moon we have Mars conjunct the south node . So this is really asking us , like looking at our routines or habits or health , like what's actually not supporting us . What do we ? What do we ? Where do we find comfort , and but where do we need to change ? What's just like making us feel sticky or frustrated , that's like not working for us anymore . And it's also square to venus , and so this is always a push-pull dynamic . This could be mixed signals between the masculine , the feminine , between wanting to flow and wanting to organize and structure and like move . And so this energy is happening currently as we speak , and then tomorrow , I think it's 2's 2.11 pm , central Standard Time at two degrees of Leo , we have this new moon Now the new moon in itself .

Speaker 1

You know , the sun and the moon are conjunct in the sky . The new moon is manifestations , it's intention setting . We can't see the new , we can't see the moon in the sky when we're in a new moon energy . So it's like we're planting those seeds . We can't quite see what's come from it , but we're tending to the unseen , right , we're tending to the shadows and not the shadows , and like we're going to feel shadowy . But just like . It's like that analogy of you know , when the seed is planted , we can't see it , right , we have to water it , we have to tend to it , even though we can't see what's underneath the ground , and then eventually it's going to sprout and then we're going to start to see , you know , the fruits of our labor , the flowers , the buds of whatever that is that we planted .

Speaker 1

But the sun and the moon are opposite Pluto . Pluto is at two degrees , so this is a very , very close opposition . And so Pluto is power , control , intensity . Pluto is like this energy where it's just sort of like . It's like this little pressure cooker where it just puts pressure on the things that are not serving you and so , slowly over time , you can't help but ignore it . And so , as we have this opposition , it's like where are you not being your authentic self ? Where are you outsourcing to other people ? Where are you operating out of your conditioning versus actually operating out of your heart ? Where do you feel maybe controlled , or where are you controlling situations ? Right , this is very intense energy and can be intense energy , and it could be really uncomfortable because it's going to show you things that need to fall away , that we need to let go , that we need to release . Simultaneously , the moon is also trying to Saturn and Neptune . Pluto is also retrograde and Saturn and Neptune are also retrograde . So the and the moon is also trying to Saturn and Neptune that are retrograde . In conjunction they're very , very close One degree off in Aries .

Speaker 1

Aries is I am . Aries is another fire sign , and so this is a lot to do with . Like it's really calling us to slow down . It's really asking us who we are . Do we even have clarity on who we are right now ? Can we see clearly what is not again like what's not serving us ? What do we need to release ? Like ? Where are we barging ahead ? Where we really need to like pause ? Mercury is also retrograde in Leo . It's not conjunct to the moon at all , but it is retrograde in Leo . And Mercury retrograde again , it's asking us to slow down . Right , fire is a fast energy but with so many retrogrades in fire science , again we're being asked to slow down , to reflect , to revise , to revisit , to review , right , like all of these things , we're looking to see what we want to bring with us in the future and when we want to leave behind . Who are we ?

Speaker 1

It's like I just feel , like so many people right now , myself included . It's like I cannot be that version of myself that other people expect of me anymore , like I have to be authentic . It's like I cannot be that version of myself that other people expect of me anymore , like I have to be authentic . And I think it was Brene Brown that said the most magnetic and the most powerful energy you can embody is authenticity . It's even more powerful than love when you are so authentic to who you are , regardless . And I think this is very Aquarius energy to like Aquarius is the rebel and I think it's the rebel , because A it's been like so embedded in the system that when it comes back out and just is its own quirky , authentic , weird self , that in itself is an act of rebellion , right ? So being authentically yourself , in whatever way that means for you , is an act of rebellion . And so we're really asked right now can we be authentic ? Can we come into who we are ? Can we shed the layers of ourself that are no longer serving us ?

Speaker 1

It's also in a sextile to Uranus , at zero degrees of Gemini . So this is really fast thinking . This is the nervous system , this is shock , this is unpredictability

Setting Boundaries & Honoring Your Truth

Speaker 1

, this is quick decisions that we're making . And again , mercury is the ruler of Gemini and so Mercury is retrograde . So it's like we may want to express , we may want to express really quickly , we may want we're thinking really quickly . Maybe even our thoughts are like kind of have that anxious energy because that's just Uranus , right . But it's like again , how can we slow down ? How can we embody the pause ? How can we wait ? And Leo is also like this Leo is expression , it's creativity . Leo and the sun rule the fifth house , which is play children , dating , creativity . And so it's like how can we tend to our own inner child and the inner child of others . Right , this is children , but it's also our own inner children . How can we open our hearts ? How can we feel safe ? This is key , right . We cannot operate from an open heart if we do not feel safe . Right , like when you're triggered , when or when you're in a situation that doesn't feel safe . We close our hearts , right . But how can we open it ? How can we know that we're safe and open our heart ? That's really what this is asking us .

Speaker 1

I was on a new moon call with Jana Romer and she was talking about this idea of , like you know , feeling the collective grief , because it is there . It's like I don't watch the news , but you can't ignore what . There's so much going on in the world and there's so many people that are feeling fear and lack and sadness and grief , and we can't ignore that these things are happening . Right ? And when I pulled a card for the new moon energy the first card that came out was five of cups . And five of cups , you know , cups is water . Energy it's emotions , it's being in that area , it's being with the water , it's being with the flow , it's being with that . And five is contraction . It's a more challenging card and it is asking us to honor and feel and be with the grief . Don't bypass it , don't skip over it , you know , and Leo is asking us like , can we sit with that and can we express that and can we be with it ? Because it is very real and it's very happening and it is happening .

Speaker 1

Another thing that I just the last thing I want to mention before we move on to August transits with this new moon , is that I've been reading Becoming Supernatural by Dr Joe Dispenza . If you haven't read the book , I'll leave a link in the show notes that you can go get it , because this book will literally change your life if you do the work and if you allow it to and if you show up in it . But he talks about meditation and the frequency and the energy of love and how love is so powerful . Love is more powerful than fear or hate or lack or any of those low vibrational energies . And he talks about how they've done studies of countries like war-torn countries , countries that are really struggling , and they've taken studies of countries like war-torn countries , countries that are really struggling , and they've taken groups of people and done like 30-day meditations I think it was Israel in the 70s . I could be mistaken on that , but I believe that was the place and so they did a 30-day meditation experiment and the days when the most people were there actively meditating , the crime rate lowered by 72% , 72 , like that is so much . It's not just like 10% , this is huge . There was also another one in the US , I think it was like Chicago or St Louis or something , where they had like a bunch of monks meditating and again the crime rate drastically lowered by something around the same , like 70% . So we know the power of love and the frequency and being in that open-hearted space is so powerful . And so it's like , with this new moon , can you simultaneously honor what's happening , but come into your heart and open your heart and , just like , share that with the world .

Speaker 1

I used to do Pranic Healing Meditations . On Instagram there is I can't remember his name , I'll link it below , but he does daily blessing the world meditations and that's all it is . It's just going there with , you know , hundreds of people . Whoever shows up for the live , it's usually like hundreds of people and we're all blessing the world at the same time . Like that is so powerful and you don't think that it is , but it is so , so powerful .

Speaker 1

So , with this new moon , I just like urge you maybe to do something like that Spend five minutes in meditation , open your heart , really feel that frequency Cause not only is that good for the world , but again like going back to manifestation . This is like what manifestation is ? It's being in that feeling . Like how do I want to feel , how do I feel to be free ? What does it feel like to be abundant ? What does it feel like to be in a loving relationship ? What does it feel like to have the dream career ? Like if we can bring in the feeling , if we can call it in before it actually is , because if you want anything , it's somewhere out there in the quantum and when we're bringing in the emotion and the feeling , bringing ourself into that space before the thing actually manifests , which makes it easier to manifest into your life . So that's the new moon , that's all the energy that's happening . Now let's dive a little bit into August and see what's going on astrologically in August . Okay , let's take a deep breath , let's reset . I'm just like feeling so excited , I guess , about this new moon because you know I'm a Leo moon and Leo rising , so this is hugely impactful for me as my first house , my ascendant , all the things , and I love Leo energy . So I'm going to try and do this chronologically but I may bounce all over the place a little bit , okay , so we're starting out August 1st .

Speaker 1

Venus in Cancer is going to be square to Saturn in Aries . So you know , venus's relationships is asking for boundaries , structure in relationships in Aries . Right , aries is fire , it wants to move forward , it's big , it's bold , it's all these things . But Saturn , like , is asking Aries , this Aries energy , to like sort of slow down a little bit . Right , especially in retrograde . It's like what boundaries do I need to set with myself and others ? Because this is in , you know , venus's relationships , its morals , its values . So this energy , this sort of like tension , might be coming up in the beginning of august around our relationships , like what's working , what's not , how can , how are you being expressive ? How are you being yourself ? Are you being authentic in your relationships ? And if not , why do you need to set a boundary ? Do you need to release a relationship so that you can be more authentic ? Like ? These sorts of questions are coming up . And it's also gonna be squared at Neptune , because they're conjunct and they will be exactly at one degrees . Both of them are at one degrees during this time and so , again , with Neptune being retrograde , we might be feeling a little confused around this theme , right where it's like we want to set boundaries , we want to be more authentic . We know something doesn't quite feel right , but maybe we can't exactly see what it is yet in a relationship . So just like slowing down if you feel a little bit of tension in your relationships , journal on it , meditate on it , whatever it is , and just like kind of honor where you're at in that process .

Speaker 1

On the eighth we have , oh sorry . On the sixth , mars moves into libra . Mars does not like to be in libra mars . Mars rules Aries and so it's in its fall , it doesn't like to be in Libra . Right , mars is quick , it's assertive , it's aggressive , it's like bold and it's sort of the immature expression of our energy . And Libra is balance , harmony , peace , justice , like Libra is sort of a little bit more refined of an energy . Right , libra is ruled by Venus and so this might feel a little sticky , a little bit uncomfortable . Mars , you know , could be more passive , aggressive here , because Libra is , you know , can be a little people-pleasing , because it doesn't want the confrontation because it wants to keep the balance and all those things . As Mars moves into Libra , it's also going to be trying Uranus , so this is going to be bringing some unpredictability . So all of you Libra energy out there , this could be feeling a little bit uncomfortable .

Speaker 1

Right , uranus and Gemini . It's like quick thinking , it's expressive , it's communication , it's kind of

New Moon in Leo Energetics

Speaker 1

like pushing us towards . That can be a little bit like anxious in our mind , but this is really like the overall theme of Uranus and Gemini is like we are transforming the way that we're thinking about things . So Mars , putting a little bit of pressure on there , maybe a little frustration , it's like ah , like wanting to like express or wanting to like think about things a certain way , or getting caught in old patterns or whatever it is , could be something that comes out of that . During this time . It's also going to be opposite Saturn and this can be a little challenging as well .

Speaker 1

Right , mars again is action . Mars rules Aries and with Saturn there , saturn is kind of just like the slower moving coming inside , setting boundaries . But of course , with anything , especially with Libra ruling Venus , you know our relationships are our biggest mirrors in life , right and so , and this is happening . I think I said it , this is all happening on the 8th . So relationships are our biggest mirrors in life and we hold karma in our relationships . So people that come in the themes that we face in relationships we will . They're there for us to move and to release our karma . So as you do the work and as you progress and as you raise your consciousness and as you kind of step into your new timeline , relationships are naturally going to fall away . It doesn't have to be a big explosive thing , but they're naturally going to fall away and so that's sort of like what could be happening with this too . Mars is wanting us maybe to like push and move and take action around that , just like what relationships are falling away , what's not working , and that's the thing with like manifestation work too . As you're like moving into this new timeline , you'll notice relationships that maybe quietly , maybe not so quietly or just kind of like falling away . The work is being done right , like Saturn is karma , and so that could be happening with that .

Speaker 1

On the ninth we have the full moon in Aquarius . It is not really like you know , other than the other things that are going on , there's not exactly too much that I see briefly here , looking , that's happening exactly with the moon . But full moons are times of illumination . This is when we can see the moon in the sky . 16 degrees of Aquarius , it's in gate 13 , which is the gate of the listener , and you know , again , aquarius is rebellion , it's authenticity , it's the collective , it's technology and , of course , pluto is here . So it's like all of these themes might be coming up around this time .

Speaker 1

We also have , during this full moon , again , mars . Well , mars is opposite Saturn and Neptune , but it's directly opposite Neptune . So this is bringing a little bit of confusion to us . And then the ruler of Aquarius is Uranus . So Uranus is I believe we'll have moved in at one degree , so it's kind of moved out of that zero degree point , but it is still early early degrees of Gemini . So again , this is asking us , this is transforming the way that we're thinking , the way that we're communicating , the way that we're expressing , the way that we see things , because we know the way that we think about things is the way that we see things , and so this is huge for this we have on . Let's see what's next .

Speaker 1

Mars is going to be trying to Pluto in Aquarius on the 10th and you know this is more supportive , but Mars and Pluto are sort of the higher and lower expression of each other and it just makes it to be a little bit more intense when we have an aspect between Mars and Pluto . On the 11th , mercury stations direct and so we might have a little bit of a reprieve in Leo where we can kind of like move a little bit more quickly . It's at four degrees . So just check what you have on and around four degrees we can look back again around the new moon . So the new moon was at two degrees just to see , like what themes were coming up . So like , as you're listening to this , notice what's coming up , because those themes might be revisited when Mercury stations direct at four degrees of Leo , that is , on the 11th .

Speaker 1

On the 12th we have Venus conjunct , jupiter in Cancer , and so you know Jupiter in Cancer is really expanding on this inner work , working with our emotions , coming inside , doing this sort of like it could be inner child reparenting work , because you know Cancer is the archetype of the mother , and so Jupiter and Venus in conjunction is a really beautiful conjunction , especially around our relationships , right , like coming into the home , coming into the self , working with our ancestors doing like in our home life , like what's working , this is expanding on it . So this is a really beautiful conjunction and just notice what comes up during this time . It's again a really great time to be coming inside to doing the work , especially around again , like , first of all , check where cancer is in your chart . For me it's my 12th house , so this is all the subconscious work . So as this comes up like , I will be diving into the work around the subconscious patterning that I can reprogram around my relationships , like surrendering to it and just like allowing myself to be in it , so checking your chart where cancer is , and that's the sort of work that you can really really dive into with this conjunction .

Speaker 1

On , let's see . On the , what am I missing the 14th ? No , let's go to the 22nd . The sun moves into Virgo . Virgo is this energy of like ? So okay , moves into Virgo . Virgo is this energy of like . So okay , leo is really expressive and it's creative and it's , you know , the inner child work . And then we come into Virgo . Virgo is deeply in service to others , right ? Virgo rules the gut . So this is really that mind-gut , that brain-gut connection .

Speaker 1

But Virgo is about perfecting the self so that we can move into Libra , into our relationships . As you know , there is no such thing as perfection , but as a more perfected , more um , a higher version of ourselves to enter into our relationships . This is all about our health , our daily routine . So what routines are supporting you ? What routines are not supporting you ? What do you need to let go of ? These are sort of the themes that might be highlighted during the sun in Virgo . So really check your chart to see what house that's in , because that's exactly , or that's more so , how it's going to be impacting you . And that's happening on the 22nd .

Speaker 1

On the 23rd , we have our new moon , our new moon in Virgo . This is happening in gate 59 . Gate 59 is the gate of sexuality . This is part of the channel of intimacy , so this is all about , like your relationships . This is in the sacral , so it is sex . It is fertility , right , and Virgo is represented by the Virgin , right . This is fertility . It's like we've planted the seed and now we're starting to sow it and it's very fertile , right , and so that's kind of the energy that's coming out . Of course , it doesn't have to mean like you're going to be getting pregnant or like anything specifically related to that , but like , again , leo is creativity . So what are we birthing , what's coming to fruition , like what is ripe for us to bring out into the world , and like how can we tweak it , how can we perfect it , how can we see what's supporting that , what's not supporting that ? Again , so the whole point is that then we move into Libra , we're a more perfected version of ourselves to show up in our relationships .

Speaker 1

That's sort of the work again that we'll be seeing during this time and the new moon in gate 59 , it's going to be square to Uranus and so that , of course , will always bring unpredictability , shock in our nervous system . Again , because Virgo rules the gut , uranus is the electrical impulses in the body . So it's like are we feeling anxious ? How can we calm our nervous system ? So really , really , really doing the nervous system work to know that we're safe in our body , to come into our body , to be with our body , focus on your gut health right . Notice the thoughts that are happening , activate that vagus nerve , like all the things that you can do to regulate your nervous system , because Uranus is going to want to be activating it a little bit right during this time , is going to want to be activating it a little bit right during this time . So that's on the 23rd . On the 24th , we have the Sun square to Uranus , so kind of the same energy , right ? New moons are when the Sun and the Moon are conjunct , but the Sun is going to be directly conjunct to Uranus the next day , so we'll still be within that energy and regardless during any full or new moon energy , we're in the energy for like three days before and three days after . So just being aware of that .

Speaker 1

And then the 25th , venus moves into Leo . I love when Venus moves into Leo , of course , leo moon and Leo rising . I love when Venus moves through my first house , literally in 2023 , when Venus was retrograde in Leo , like relationship wise , that was crazy , so crazy for me and so , but like even more than that . You know venus is morals , values , relationships , aesthetics , and so , again , look , looking and knowing where leo is in your house . We've been doing this leo work for a little while , especially as I'm recording this now . Um , on , you know , in july this will be like a full month of us being in this leo energy , with the sun and leo , and then you know , things moving into leo . So , venus and le , again , it's creative , expressive , looking at our relationships . Where are you expressing yourself ? Where are you coming from the heart ? Moving through the Venus sequence in the gene keys could be helpful for this too . Right , because we're undoing , we're coming back , we're understanding our patterning and being heart led and opening ourselves up to our relationships . So that could be sort of the themes that are coming

The Power of Love & Heart-Opening

Speaker 1

up . When Venus moves through Leo On the 25th also , mercury moves out of its shadow phase .

Speaker 1

So all the themes you know will have had that time to kind of reflect , revise , revisit all that stuff and Mercury will be getting some forward motion . And you know , actually I don't even see . Maybe it was last month when Mercury and the sun were conjunct , because I don't even see it on here . Actually , let me take a peek and see when we're having our Kazemi , our sun . Okay , so it was July 31st , so I talked about that last month , but July 1st .

Speaker 1

So , but since this is coming out on July 24th , just notice , july 31st is our sun , mercury Kazemi , which is a part of the Mercury retrograde cycle , and this is a time where we might be getting a little bit more clarity . And on the 27th we have Venus opposite Pluto in Aquarius , and so anytime Pluto and Venus are in a hard conjunction , or a hard aspect like this . It just brings up intensity . It's like obsessive love , it's like passionate , it's intense , it's like where are we trying to control the situation ? And so just like kind of being aware that that may be something that's coming up during that time , but those are like the biggest things that are happening in August . I don't think I've missed anything , but yeah , it's gonna be big .

Speaker 1

You know , july , especially right now as I'm recording this July is so big , there's so much energy , there's so much going on . So , you know , even with like all the manifestation work , I think the most important thing is to regulate your nervous system , because we can't do the work from a dysregulated nervous system . We can't do the work if we're not feeling safe . Once you do the work , then really getting clarity , bringing in the emotion , like having that higher vision , like bringing that in consistently through your day , and then you know the reprogramming and all those things , but like doing the nervous system work is so , so powerful . So , especially if anything's coming up with this new moon or as we navigate more into August , continuing to come inside and do that work , and that's again where that discipline comes in .

Speaker 1

So , meditation , like I said , I like in the past I was never really consistent with it . I would do it here and there , but then I'd get to the end of the night and be like I'm tired , I want to go to bed or I'd fall asleep doing it , and so like consistently doing it . Now , like I have noticed how regulated I feel , which is kind of wild because I'm usually like pretty intense and pretty emotional , with an emotional authority and like so much in there . But I'm like I'm good , like I feel really really good , just like emotionally , um it , even in points where I feel frustrated , it's like I have more awareness of why I'm feeling frustrated and it's so much faster for me to course correct and come back so it really is paying off . But yeah , so that's the transits , that's the new moon , that's everything that's going on right now .
