Mercury Retrograde Ends As Leo Season Ignites | Energy & Astrology Update | Magical Michelle Orwick

Something is shifting, and you can feel it. If your body is tired, your emotions are closer to the surface, or your life feels like it is reorganizing itself, I want you to hear this clearly: you are not broken, you are being asked to realign.

I walk you through the current astrology forecast, including the tail end of Mercury retrograde, the move from Cancer season into Leo season, and why the build toward a major full moon and Jupiter in Leo energy can feel like pressure before a breakthrough. We talk about the “portal” feeling of this window, what it looks like when relationships or old patterns fall away, and how to treat disruption as a cleanup signal instead of a punishment.

Then we get practical. Anger is one of the biggest manifestation blockers, so I share how to release it, close the past, and focus on the future you want to create. I guide a radical forgiveness approach, including self-forgiveness, because Saturn retrograde energy asks for accountability without shame. We finish with nervous system support, simple self-care, and future-self prompts to help you choose your next right step and build daily rituals that match your highest timeline.

Welcome

A Rare Astrology Window Opens

Magical Michelle Orwick 0:20

to Living Magically for the week of July 21st. And take a deep breath, my friends. Take a deep breath. We're in it to win it. We are in uh like a point of time that astrologers have been talking about. We're in it, we're inside the basket. We're or some people call it the cradle. Some people have called this um section of astrology the the grail because we're in this um magical configuration of planets that are aligned. It's all the outer planets are making this um one-time transition through the chart, through the sky. And so I've had everyone say everything but from big clarity to big changes to people leaving, like it might feel bad if you're if a a relationship is ending or um some something that is no longer aligned is is stopping here. But what I'm gonna invite you to do is trust the process right now. Yes, people have been having headaches. Um, that is probably the solar um storms and the Schumann resonance and literally the the things that are happening on the outer um outer parts of our planet, our bodies are changing. We might feel fatigued, we are absolutely being invited to realign, reconnect, and reset our intentions. We're

Retrograde Lessons And Leo Momentum

Magical Michelle Orwick 2:08

at the very end of Mercury retrograde, and um what have you learned in this in this three-week period of time? And yes, we're gonna have a little party when it comes back, um, when it turns direct on the 23rd, 24th. We're going to also be excited to invite um Leo season. We're gonna be ending cancer season, which is very emotional. So we've had a very emotional season um with a lot of it being Mercury retrograde. So we're ushering in Leo, and I think you're gonna see a lot of of more expansive energy, especially because this is gonna be a once-in-a-lifetime, well, not lifetime, but once in 12-year period of time where Leo, which the sun loves being in Leo, is also in Jupiter. Leo is Jupiter's in Leo, and they're we're gonna have the Kazimi on the 29th with the full moon. So we're working up to something really magnificent next week. But what that means is this week we are doing the inner work to be prepared for that. What else are you letting go of? What are you starting? What are you aligning? And I know how intense this season's going to be. So I hear you. I've I've done a lot of sections this this last month, and and it's been beautiful. I'm watching people make major transformations, major um life changes. Um, the work we've been doing has been so powerful, and and maybe you're already doing that work for yourself. Um, if you need to be supported, I have a couple ways to do

Lions Gate And Eclipse Season Prep

Magical Michelle Orwick 4:00

that. We're getting ready for eclipse season. We have the the full moon being the last full moon before the eclipses, but really it starts that the 28th of this month starts the lion's gate, and so you know I'm very attached to the lion's gate. So this year, um, I have um of three ways to work with me on the lion's gate. We will be doing an 8-8 activation, obviously, and with the 26th year being the 26th, it's kind of like an 888. It's a one year, it's a fire horse year. Leo's in um Leo's in the sun, Jupiter's also in Leo, so there's a lot of fire energy, a lot of planets in Aries, it's fire horse year, so it's super potent, powerful, and we're gonna have a complete solar eclipse uh just four days after, and deep in the lion's gate. So I have something called the offer. If you um if you are open and you want to start with our Living Magically um group, we can do that. So you can either join the Living Magically group and you'll get this um activation for Jupiter. Um, Jupiter moving into Leo and being a Kazimi, you will get the full moon, um, and you'll be getting um the 8-8 Lionsgate, as well as as four sessions in August and September. Normally we do three with Living Magically. We promise three calls and Living Magically my membership, but we're gonna be doing four a month for the next two months because of the massiveness, the incredible opportunity for changing timelines and really connecting. However, you could just purchase the 88 activation, or you could just purchase the two months, which we are calling the offering. So you can play it any way you'd like. Um, but I'd love to invite you to the membership. And I also want to just remind you, I am almost sold out of our every year we do Witchy Weekend in New Smyrna Beach. This year it's practical magic two themed. We only have two rooms left. So if that is something you've been looking at and you've been like, oh, I haven't decided, now is the time to decide because, like I said, I have two rooms left. I have at least three people have told me they're interested. So this would be the time to put your deposit down for which you weekend. All right,

Anger Blocks Manifestation So Release It

Magical Michelle Orwick 6:31

moving back to what's going on in the sky. This is if you've been feeling anger, okay, this is the number one thing that can block your manifestation. So I invite you to let go. I just watched Frozen, my beautiful friends Ashton and TJ invited me to their performance of Frozen. Incredible, but as Frozen always um brings up that song that is so powerful. Let it go, let it go, let it go. It is time to not focus on the past. It is time to let the past literally close. Let this Bartel's basket, this moment, this month, this it started on the some people say the 19th. I think it really started about the 17th, and it is closing around the 25th, although it's a longer season, it's a season, the peak is right now. Um it it's deep in it. We okay, Mercury retrograde is kind of taking its toll. So I um I'm laughing because I've had like three calls while we've been doing this, and and yes, it Mercury retrograde is going out with a bag bang. Some say it's been one of the worst they've dealt with. I spent eight hours offline because my phone needed to be completely gutted. I my car is at the at the repair shop. But the point I'm gonna make is what do you do to realign? Don't focus on the negative, focus on these are opportunities toward your future. Whatever is being asked to be taken care of, clean it up. There is a cleanup going on right now, clean up your life. I just I'm working with someone who's letting go of an actual addiction, like deep addiction, um, to smoking both cigarettes, marijuana, all the things. And and what I said was it's it's the exact time to clean up your life. I've got people that are leaving relationships, they've been meaning to leave for years. It's the exact time to clean up your life. In this case, I'm cleaning up my social media, my phone, uh putting all my photos in files and Dropbox and and saving them in Google Drives. Whatever it is that you need to do, clean, realign, get recalibrated, pay off your debt. Um, if there's someone you need to apologize, do that. But don't focus on the past, focus on the feeling you want to be creating in the future. If anger is coming up, do everything you possibly can to release the anger. Forgiveness is not for the person you're mad at or the circumstance you're mad at, it's for you. And if you're the one you're mad at, it's even more important. It's so powerful. Repeat after me, I forgive you. Talking to yourself, looking straight in the mirror or into the camera or whatever. I forgive you for not being who I needed you to be. I forgive you for not being where I think you should be right now. I forgive you for not making that decision, not doing this sooner, doing it too soon, making uh a bad choice. Radical forgiveness is going to be the key to karmic growth right now. Because we've got Saturn also going retrograde, so we will have some deep review on what can you clean up? What karma do you need to realign with? Let it go, clean it up, pay it off, let go. I forgive you for not being who I need you to be, I forgive you for not um doing things you should have done, but deeply commit to choosing yourself and to imagine getting the I get out of jail free card. You've already been in jail, you've already been um let out, you're already on probation. So can you let yourself out of punishment programs, out of everything? Forgive, let go, release, realign, and then

Radical Forgiveness To Clear Karma

Magical Michelle Orwick 11:16

we'll be stepping into a new world. We've got a solar eclipse, a full solar eclipse on the 12th. We have a full moon, one of the most benevolent full moons you're gonna see in a very long time. It's a full moon that has a Jupiter kazimi. So we're talking expansion. So, how do you get aligned by the 29th? What are you starting or letting go of? And even if you're just putting it on paper, saying it out loud, what are you bringing into this new world? What are you becoming? And that's just it. We're not looking at becoming something new, we're look at becoming realigned with who we are, we're looking at all of this work you've done. This is the time. This is it. We're at go time, we're in the middle of it, and if it feels intense, it's because it is. It's because it is. And the key here is to make sure your nervous system is connected that you breathe, you meditate, you take care of yourself, you take 15 minutes to clean up your house, you do whatever it is, but take a pause. And maybe it's not the week for socializing. If you feel like you need to take a break and do something for you, it's okay to reschedule, it's okay to do extreme self-care. Uh, however, on the other hand, if you feel like it's time to partner with someone that you've been looking at getting some help or being supported, it's a good time to do that. If you've been needing to apologize to someone for a really long time, go ahead and do that. Don't look for another person to apologize to you. If you need an apology, apologize to yourself and release that person, forgive them, even though you want the apology. If it's outside of you, do the work internally. You are the God or goddess within. And when you take radical acceptance, radical forgiveness, radical accountability, you will start designing your destiny, you will start realigning, you will be in a place that this little window, this next 60 to 90 days, will propel you into the future you're trying to create. So again, this is creation time. This is co-creation time, and so we're looking forward, we're creating timeline jumps, we're choosing new earth, we're choosing highest timelines, we're choosing for ourselves, and we're doing it because our own joy, our own love, our own life matters. You matter, you're worth it, you're worthy, you're deserving, and you're enough. So choose you. Choose to be aligned to joy, choose to be aligned to the future, choose to be here now, not 10 years into the past. So recalibrate. Put the files energetically, just take a moment, put the files of the past into the past, close them. I forgive you, I love you, and I set you free. And even the now, whatever's happening right now, I'm gonna handle it, I'm gonna be accountable, I'm gonna take care of it, I'm gonna realign. So we're realigning in the now. And then in the future, you're becoming the version of you. What do I have to do to be the version? So you take an IM statement.

Future-Self Alignment And Nervous System Care

Magical Michelle Orwick 14:58

I am a millionaire. Well, what would millionaire Michelle do? Or what would, if you're wanting to be in a relationship, what would wife or husband look like? What would that version of me need to claim frequency-wise? If you're starting a business, what steps do you have to do to start that business? If you have a creative project, what tiny little piece of that creative project can you just embrace? But if there's a leaving, if there's a leaving of a bad situation or a cleaning up of your own systems, you know what to do. The other thing that's really happening right now, and you're gonna see this more in August, is it's gonna be all the things you know to do recreating a new ritual, the version of you that deserves to have life be a ritual. And we'll talk about that in the offering, if that's something you want to do. How to really establish rituals and and a daily experience that is creating the life that you desire. So, with all of that, big week, be preparing for that big, massive, gorgeous full moon. Notice on the 22nd um to 24th that the energy is going to shift. So you're gonna see by the 25th a massive change with Mercury going direct, a massive change with um with the sun moving into Leo, a massive change with Saturn moving into retrograde. So this week there's gonna be a lot of energy shifting. Hydrate, take care of yourself, be nice to other people, cancel or reschedule if you need to do something different. What feels right right now is going to be what is is important. Maybe big plans you made last week just don't feel that good for you right now. But if there's something that comes up that you have to take care of, just take care of it and do it as joyfully as possible because we want to take care of dot dot our um I's cross our T's and be ready. Be ready, be aligned, be stepping in because we've got it. It we're here, we're in the middle of it. We might even be feeling some energy hangovers as we're shifting. So rest, hydrate, meditate. Um, someone sent me a request for my um musical playlist, listen to up uplifting songs and music, what you surround yourself with, the kind of TV shows you watch, the music you listen to, the art you're creating, everything is going to be about creating this frequency as you're going forward. Your intentions and what you surround yourself with are going to matter, especially right now in this in this portal, this window. We're in the portal, we're in it. Um, and if you wanna if you want to share um the Living Magically energy, um, join the Living Magically membership and we do get together and we witness each other and we love each other. And um, if you want to be activated and held and supported through this massive shift, join us either in the offering or in the membership. And I love you, I love you very much. Live magically.
