Your soul has been trying to tell you something, and today, today, the energy of the cosmos is going to bring it up louder than ever. If you've been feeling a pull toward something different, something more aligned, something that feels scary and right at the same time, you're not imagining it. It's not anxiety.
That's awakening. And this Friday, everything is pointing toward one courageous step. Let's talk about it. Hey, beautiful soul. Welcome back to Aligned & Abundant. I'm your host, Christine Marcario, and if you're brand new here, welcome. I'm so glad you found your way. This is your Frequency Friday. Every week, I pull together the weekend energy, what's happening in the cosmos, what the archangels are whispering, and how all of it is here to support your most aligned, abundant life, personally and in your [00:01:00] business.
I'll be honest, the energy this week has felt big to me. So big that I, in fact, forgot to record this podcast last night. Like, things that used to feel okay are starting to feel, mm, not okay, and things I used to be afraid to want are starting to feel more possible. If you've been feeling something similar, keep listening.
Because today's energy is going to explain a lot. Let's get into it.
So let's talk about the energy of this weekend first, because it is layered in the most beautiful way. [00:02:00] We are currently in a waning crescent moon in Taurus, and this is a potent, quiet, closing energy. Waning crescent is that deep breath before the exhale. The universe saying, "Wrap it up, release, and prepare."
In Taurus, it's asking you to release anything that no longer feels nourishing, stable, or truly yours. Here's what this feels like in the body: slow, a little heavy maybe. You might want to stay in. You might crave something cozy and real, a good meal, a long walk, time with people who feel like home. That is not laziness.
That is wisdom. That is your soul whispering to you. Honor it. Saturday, the moon shifts into Gemini in the afternoon, bringing in lighter, more social energy. And then Sunday, sunday is extraordinary. We have a new moon in [00:03:00] Gemini on Monday, June 15th at 2:53 AM Eastern. But that Gemini energy is building all weekend.
This is a clean, uncluttered new beginning in how you think, communicate, and express yourself. No complicated aspects here, just pure, fresh energy, like a blank page that's actually excited to meet your pen. And Saturday, Venus moves into Leo. Love gets bolder, brighter. You might feel more drawn to put yourself out there, dress up, take up a little bit more space.
You deserve it. Let yourself. That's not ego, that's radiance coming back online. Now, for your personal life, give yourself and everyone around you a little more grace as we build toward the new moon. Emotions may feel bigger than usual. This is not the time to [00:04:00] force clarity. It's the time to turn inward, clear your energy, and ask yourself, "What do I actually want to begin?"
For your business, resist the urge to hustle through this weekend. This is a cosmic prep period. Journal your next move. Clarify your vision. The new moon is sending you a download. Don't fill that space with doing. Use it for being open to receive. Now, I did pull three tarot cards for the collective. This week, the cards that popped out were the World reversed, the Two of Cups reversed, and the Five of Wands.
Now, listen, I know on the surface these might look like a lot of reversals and friction, but I want you to hear the deeper message in this spread because it is actually incredibly aligned with the energy of this week. The World reversed is the card I want you to sit with the [00:05:00] longest. The World upright is completion.
That's a beautiful full circle moment of arriving. Now, reversed, it's saying you are so close to a major completion, but something is keeping you from fully claiming it. Maybe you're almost done, but you keep restarting. Maybe you can see the finish line, but fear is making you stall.
This card in this position is an invitation to ask yourself honestly, what would it mean to actually let this chapter close? What would you have to accept? What would you have to release? The World reversed is not saying you failed. No, no, no. It is saying you are one honest decision away from completion.
The Two of Cups reversed speaks to relationships, partnerships, and connection. And reversed, it's asking us to [00:06:00] look at where there's been a disconnect, maybe in a relationship with someone else, or maybe, and this is the one I feel most strongly, with myself where have you been out of alignment with your own heart?
Where have you been giving your energy to connections that aren't truly reciprocal? This card paired with the World reversed is asking, is the thing keeping you stuck actually a relationship dynamic or a relationship with your own self-worth? Now, that's something to sit with. The Five of Wands is beautiful and fierce.
Five people with their wands in the air. It looks like chaos, like conflict, but here's what I want you to know. The Five of Wands is often less about external battles and more about the war happening inside you. Competing thoughts, competing priorities, [00:07:00] the part of you that wants to grow versus the part of you that wants to stay safe.
The Five of Wands this week is asking, what if you stopped fighting yourself? What if you picked a direction and fully committed? All that energy you've been using to battle your own desires, imagine what happens when you redirect it. Together, these three cards are saying you are at a threshold. The old chapter wants to close.
Something in your connections or your self-concept is shifting, and you have more power and momentum available than you realize once you stop dividing it against yourself. Now, this message is so clear for me. I literally just had a tarot card reading from a dear friend, and the messages that are coming through this card pull is the exact same message that I was given.
I need to get clearer on what it [00:08:00] is that I want to do and stick with one thing. And that's why yesterday I decided that within my community, the Soul Shine Collective, this summer's theme is going to be the summer of play. Reconnecting to your inner child that so desperately wants to have more fun, let joy be the compass, and really truly find moments of magic in your everyday life.
If you want more play, curiosity, and joy this summer-
Check out the link in the show notes or send me a DM. I am so ready to invite you to come and play this summer. It's going to be a freaking blast, and I cannot wait. I want this summer to be epic All right, channeling back in our archangel guidance.
This week, my fave, one of my OGs, Archangel Michael, is truly [00:09:00] with us. This week is asking for courage, and that is exactly his territory. Archangel Michael is the archangel of protection, truth, and strength. He is the one who helps you cut the cords to what's been holding you back and find the clarity to move forward with conviction.
And with everything the tarot just illuminated, the stuck completion, the misaligned connections, the inner battle, Michael's energy is like a hand on your back saying, "I've got you. Take the step." Ooh, I just got chills. His message this week is, "You are not behind. You are not too late, and you are not too much.
The version of your life you keep glimpsing, that is your true destiny. It's not a delusion. Stop apologizing for [00:10:00] wanting it. I am clearing the path. Your job is simply to take the next step with trust and belief." Thank you, Archangel Michael. That is truly beautiful. Now, here's how to work with Michael's energy this week.
Every morning before you check your phone, take one breath and say, out loud if you can, "Archangel Michael, cut any cord of fear or doubt keeping me small today. Clear my path. I am ready to move forward." 30 seconds, that's it, and watch what shifts Okay, let's talk Mercury, because I know some of you have already been feeling something is a little, mm, off in the communication land, and there is actually a very real reason for that.
Mercury [00:11:00] retrograde officially begins June twenty-ninth in Cancer and runs through July twenty-third. But here's what you need to know right now. The pre-shadow period begins tomorrow, June thirteenth. The pre-shadow is when Mercury starts to slow down, and even though it's not technically retrograde yet, you will begin to feel the themes, miscommunications, schedule snags, old conversations resurfacing, a sense that certain things need to be reviewed or revisited before you can move forward.
Think of this pre-shadow as your grace period. A heads up from the universe. Tie up your loose ends now. Have the important conversations this weekend and next week. Finalize agreements. Back up your tech. Get clear on what you want to say before Mercury starts scrambling the signal. In Cancer, this [00:12:00] retrograde will be particularly felt in the areas of home, family, emotions, and belonging.
Old feelings may surface. Past conversations around care, security, and where you feel at home, in your life, in your relationships, in yourself will come up for review. Now, that's not a bad thing. Mercury retrograde in Cancer is an invitation to finally feel what you've been moving past, to have the tender conversations you've been postponing.
Now, for your business, use this next two weeks to get your communication assets in order. Update your website copy. Finalize your offers. If you have contracts to sign, sign them now. Do not wait until after the twenty-ninth if you can help it. The runway is still clear, but the shadow is beginning. Use this [00:13:00] window wisely and to your advantage.
The theme of this week is your soul knows. Will you listen? Friday, today, carries some of the most activating energy of the month. Uranus is squaring the lunar nodes, and astrologers describe this kind of transit as carrying a fated quality. The nodes represent your soul's evolutionary path.
Uranus is the energy of awakening and liberation. When they meet like this, it creates a crossroads, a moment where who you have been and who your soul is actually here to become stand face to face. We're also in a seven universal month,
Which is also about trusting your inner knowing above what your eyes can see, above logic, above the comfortable path that no longer fits. Friday is asking you [00:14:00] to take one courageous step toward your authentic path. Not a leap, a step. One honest move in the direction your soul has been pointing you. Now, something to sit with this week.
Where in your life are you staying in something familiar that your soul has already outgrown? Friday is asking you to name it. I think I know mine. Your energetic focus for this week is play. Woo-hoo. I want you to sit with that for a second because I know some of you just tensed up. Play? But I have things to do.
Hear me on this. Joy is not a reward for finishing your to-do list. Joy is a frequency. When you operate from play, from lightness, from the energy of your most joyful self, you manifest [00:15:00] faster, things flow easier, and you attract more because you're radiating more. This summer, the energy is calling us back to the little girl who didn't need a reason to be happy.
The version of you who could find delight in something small. Your inner little one has been waiting for permission. Give it to her this week. And yourself, what would be fun today? Not productive, not strategic, just fun. And then do that thing. Your mantra: joy is my superpower. When I play, I expand. When I expand, I attract everything I've been calling in Before I close, I want to tell you about what we're doing inside the Soulshine Collective again this summer because it is going to be so aligned with everything I just [00:16:00] shared.
We are spending this summer anchored in joy. Summer is one of my favorite times of year, and it really truly is the opportunity to get out, do more, and have fun. More ease. Reconnecting with the part of you who wants to laugh more, explore more, and feel more alive, not just more accomplished. We're calling it the Summer of Play, and it is for the person who is ready to stop white-knuckling her way to abundance and start flowing into it.
Because here's what I know. The version of you who lets herself have fun manifests better, quicker, and with more ease. She attracts more. She builds bigger. Not because she's hustling harder. Mm-mm, no. We don't hustle. But because she's vibrating at a higher [00:17:00] frequency. If that sounds like your kind of summer, come join us.
