Week of July 6, 2025

What happens when every card in the foundation of your week is reversed? You listen up.

This week’s Tarot reading is a masterclass in noticing what you’re avoiding — and how that avoidance is clogging the energy in your body, your business, and your voice. We’ve got Death reversed, The Devil reversed, and The Hermit reversed at the base of our pyramid (yes, seriously)… and the medicine is real.

Plus: The Mercury Retrograde pre-shadow begins this week and with Mars square Saturn + a dreamy Neptune trine Venus, the astro weather is urging you to slow down, reassess, and get your ducks in a row before the fog rolls in.

This episode weaves together astrology, Tarot, and intuitive business strategy to help you clear the noise and reclaim your magic.

Welcome back to your Sunday Woo Crew Private podcast. This week's tarot pulls are from the Tarot of Mystical Moments, a deck that came in sizzling hot straight out of our CEO Summer Rebellion Workshop. If you joined us for the session with KC Steinbeck, you'll recognize a few of these vibes because they are vibing really hard. KC and I were testing a little tarot and astrology magic, and it was hot. Y'all. But don't worry, we plan to do more. So if you missed it, we're gonna come back around. If you don't wanna miss out next time, keep an eye on your Saturday production Oracle newsletter for upcoming dates and registrations for all things CEO Summer Rebellion and for future workshops that are strictly reading related like astrology and tarot. Numerology, all of our WOOWOO things. I will be planning more of those through the fall, and I'll be putting them out with your quarterly email renewal updates. So before we dive into the cards, let's talk about all of our astro weather, all the things happening in the sky. We're gonna start with our business themes for the week of July 6th through July 12th. This is your TLDR. If you don't have enough time to listen to everything, you can start with this and come back for the rest. So. The first thing is stop outsourcing your power. The reversals this week are your big neon signs, and yes, there are a lot of them, and we talked about reversals last week, so that lesson just kind of grew into this week. The next lesson is to feel your feelings, but don't get stuck there. There is the five of cups in the. The reading this week, it is about wisdom, not punishment. And then we've got Mercury's pres shadow, which is on full, fully on deck. This is the week to say what you mean. Clean up your communications and don't overcommit. That one is a big one. And then our next theme is watch. What's repeating. There is some repeating this week that's going on. You might feel it as you're listening to the reading. This is your nervous system that is calling for s. Sustainable confidence. So then we're gonna look at the big archetypal moves. We've got some big, major arcana. They are in reverse this week. It means that the inner work is hitting a critical mass, so you're really being called into that inner work, not a surprise. Because we are in that nine universal year, and the nine is associated with the hermit card in your tarot deck, which is typically traditionally the ninth card in the major arcana. If you have a like super indie, new kind of deck and they've relabeled things and moved all the cards around, it may not be in that order. But in the traditional order of the archetypes, um, nine is the hermit and that is our card of the year being in a nine universal numerological year. So you were being called into inner work anyways, we are past the apex point of the year. We talked about that last week in the reading and the week before that. And, and with that means that through the rest of this year, now you're being asked to get off your bullshit, deal with your bullshit, and stop bullshitting yourself. So you're gonna see that show up this week. Um, this week is definitely a crossroads. It, you're, you're not gonna be able to sprint. It's not gonna feel good, so don't do it. But you do need to choose. And so the invitation is well just choose. And sometimes it can be hard to make that choice, but sometimes you realize that all roads lead to the same place. And sometimes you just need to choose the thing that has the least amount of friction, that is the easiest to consume in the moment, not the idealized version that you might not be able to handle just yet. And sometimes just knowing that is enough to make the choice, because making choices means you're gonna be taking action. And that lesson is gonna be coming up more and more and more even stronger throughout the rest of the, the, the final six months of this year. So let's do some astrology weather check-in. We are in the full swing of summer, and this week is filled with cosmic nudges towards alignment and adjustment. It's not dramatic this week, but it is directional. And I have been picking up since I pulled the cards and I'm coming out of this workshop where I'm. Heavily in the space today while I'm recording these readings. And, and the feeling is that I keep getting this note from some guides that join us every week that, um, that the, even though it's not actually dramatic, the directional of things can feel dramatic when you are kind of stuck on your bullshit. So let's talk about what's happening in the stars so you can get out of that, make your life easier, better, and, and not have so much stress. That is the goal, right? So here's what ha, here's what's happening in the astrology weather for this week, specifically starting on July the sixth. Sun is still in cancer. Emotions are still the name of the game, and cancer season asks you to lead your business through the heart, not hustle, visibility, and success. Honestly, they mean nothing if they aren't rooted in integrity and resonance. So you're being asked this week, does this feel right? Always anchor into that. If you start to feel a little dramatic, if you start to feel not directional, I would come back to this week's home plate. Which is the question, does this still feel right? And ask yourself that. And if your answer's like, I don't know, that's a really good sign to connect with heart, not hustle. That is cancer season energy. It doesn't matter if you're not a cancer in your sun sign. It doesn't matter if you don't have cancer anywhere else in your chart. It doesn't matter if you have nothing in cancer in your chart. It matters if you are living by the season. And, um, not trying to pretend it's a Capricorn season when it's actually cancer season. So the next, um, astrology weather bit is that Venus in Venus is in Leo, and it's going to trine Chiron. So, long story short, because that's a lot of little aspects there, if you are new to figuring out astrology transits in alignments. What it means is that this is a tender healing aspect. This week, your creativity and visibility are getting an a lovely, gentle boost, but it comes with a caveat. It's only if you're willing to show up in your wholeness, not just your polished parts. So if you're afraid to be seen as a work in progress, this is gonna be a growth edge. This week, and you might hear other people describe it. You've probably heard me use words like this too, like if it's performative, that would be the opposite of being in this energy, of this very healing, being seen as a work in progress, being seen for your imperfections. And then we have Mars that is still in Taurus. This is the name of the game is Steady Progress Wins. It's about sustainable action. It's about not overworking. Mars here supports effort that feels grounded, so plan accordingly. Again, bringing you back to that. Sun and cancer, seasonal energy. Does this still feel right? Does it feel right? Not logically. On paper. I can look at the numbers and line everything up, boom, boom, boom. Hey, it looks right. It's like, no. But when you put it into your body and you feel yourself in your body, does it feel right? And with that, Mars still in Taurus. That is still in TAUs this week with the steady progress. You want to really look at like, does this feel grounded to me? And if you're like, I feel really flighty, I feel like I'm not in my body, that would be not grounded. Um, somebody's guide is in here pointing out these feelings of like, what it feels like in your body. So somebody in your, you're having a hard time, like being in your body and being present. And that might be the lesson this week. Um, you might mess up on occasion. They're showing me you're like. Oh my God, I'm really worried. Um, you might mess up on occasion. You know, you might make a decision or two this week where you're like, wow, I wasn't grounded. And look how that turned out. Well, I guess I learned, I learned something. So collecting some data about yourself this week is gonna be really useful too. And then we've got Neptune. That's Retrograding and Pisces. The illusions continue to peel away. This has been going on for a while. If something you used to believe about in your business or brand identity is no longer working, that is a good thing. If you recognize that this week, that is a good thing. It also means it's time to let that go. You wanna think of it like a mirage, it's not real. You, you, maybe you were hoping it was real. Maybe you thought it might be real. Um, maybe you were wishing that it would become real and it just. It's not real. So, so part of that nine universal year energy, that hermit energy is letting stuff go. Remember, by the time you get to the end of this year, anything that you continue to drag along with you that doesn't belong with you is, is going to be rearranged in some way for you to make your life easier moving forward, to bring you into the next evolution of what it is you're supposed to be doing. So if you know it's supposed to go. Do do that hard work this week of letting it go and when we start talking about mercury retrograde soon, you're gonna understand why. Now the last big astro weather check-in before we talk about Mercury retrograde, is that Saturn is also still retrograding in Pisces. Your long-term structures are still under review. You wanna ask yourself what's holding you versus what's draining you. And then restructure around, around what's actually real. So you'll notice that like that Neptune aspect, the Saturn aspect is like, what is real? What's a mirage? What do I let go of, what do I hang onto that is, you know, actually here that I can work with that's tangible. I will tell you that in the workshops that happened, um, this week, um. That this, this concept of tangibleness kept coming up. I think that that is going to become a driving force in our business world as we move forward. Um, we are now in the third quarter, we're kicking off like this full quarter run of the private podcast that you're on right now. When we get to October and we get to the fourth quarter, I'm gonna refresh this feed and kick us off with. A, um, with, with a, a quarterly forecast for Q4 and then into Q1, so into the new year already. And that's gonna be really exciting for us because, um, I, now that we get closer towards the end of the year, I am really picking up on that tangible aspect. Like it's not enough to. Offer offers in your business anymore that are about hypotheticals. Like, you know, changing your belief systems is a big part, but it also has to come with something that somebody can grasp onto in the real world. It has real results that they can tie to real things happening in real life and not just theoretically. It doesn't mean that you have to start selling physical product. I just had someone say, guide pop in here. You do not have to start selling physical product in order for this to be tangible and real, but starting to understand what, what is real for you? What is tangible for you. You're gonna feel that this week, it's just gonna keep getting stronger through the end of the year. So let's talk about Mercury retrograde, which is in Pres shadow phase right now. Um, mercury goes into retrograde on. What's the date? Let me look at my calendar. On July the 17th. So, um, when we get to your reading next week, we are gonna be talking about the actual start of Mercury retrograde. So even when he can't see me on a Loom video, I'm still turning around to look at my calendars behind me. Alright, so we are not in a full retrograde yet. That is next week. But the Pres shadow is here. I gotta tell y'all. It's large and a charge and it really matters. So Mercury is in Leo and it's prepping for a really big rewind. Then we are gonna hit Leo season with Mercury fully in retrograde. So this week, this week is like the, the week before it all happens. This is your chance to do things like review your marketing and your messaging. This would be an ideal week for that. It would be an ideal week to audit your client communication systems. Remember that Mercury is so much about communication. So the more you can make your life easier, all the better, and also clean up your calendar this week, clean up your tech. Also clean up your expectations. So a lot of this like getting out of, you know, just sort of being in. There's this feeling of getting outta being in fantasy land. And, um, it's been growing over the last few weeks, but it's really, really strong this week. And, and I was just like, wow, that is, that is intense. Um, so Mercury and Leo, it can bring out all of your performative habits if you're not careful, but it also fuels honest self-expression. So in this pres shadow. What it's telling you is that you've got one more chance to speak clearly before the edits begin. Because once we go into retrograde, it's going to be, you know, reviewing time. It's going to be redoing time, it's gonna be time to just slow down just a little bit more. So if you've been a little antsy because you're like, man, cancer season is like, slow down. Be in your feelings. Well, I like, I hate to break it to you, but even in Leo season, it's also gonna be. Slow down. You can still be loud, proud, and very Leo and celebrate like Leo's do, but also like, what's the brush? Let's make sure we do it right. Measure twice, cut once. That's kind of the theme. All right, let's get into our cards. So we're using the tarot of mystical moments. The deck was just fully charged up after reading for a group on, on a, on a live workshop. So I kept the deck out, it felt right, and we're gonna do the base of our pyramid first. So we've got full, major arcana all in reverse. Am I surprised? You know me? No, I'm not. Our cards are if you wanna pull them out of your deck to also take a look. It is death in reverse. The devil in reverse. And the hermit in reverse. So, holy. Whoa. This trio, it's like the underworld is holding office hours, aren't you? So glad you're here for it. Let's take these one by one. Death reversed says you are resisting a necessary ending. Something is trying to go maybe a launch format or an offer or a collaboration, or even a habit, and you're clinging because it's familiar. I mean, I can't say I blame you, right? But the longer you resist, the heavier this is gonna get, and it's gonna get really heavy if you hang onto it by the end of the year. This is archetypal level business transformation. So the note is that if it is done, let it die. Let it die. I've got someone's. Guide in here recommending that it might be helpful for you to engage in ritual with the death energy this week, that it might be, um, useful for you to literally have a service, a funeral type service for the thing that you're letting go for. One of you in here though, whoever this is, who has been going through that like. Like serious, like total change, you know, in, in what you're offering. I mean, just couldn't be more polar opposite in what you're about to be offering. Um. I feel like you were a coach or you have been coaching and you're changing into something else. Um, and it's not like, it's not like me where I'm like still a little bit coaching adjacent.'cause I have to give clients advice with their media. Um, but it's like, it's like you're, you're, you're. Going off to sell, you know, stationary products or something like, I mean, this is so different. Um, so, so you might need this ritual to, you know, give thanks and remembrance and, um, you know, to, to let that energy have a way to sort of tie it up in a, in a bow and like. Lay it, literally lay it to rest. Sometimes we need those things and the world is kind of crazy right now. And sometimes having those little rituals can really help. Um, it could be something I keep seeing a potted plant and I really feel like it might be something where like. You write a really beautiful letter of thanks, and you bury it in the bottom of a beautiful plant that's going to bloom and grow, and you let it, that paper become, you know, decompose and become fertilizer for the plant. That would be a beautiful ritual to do right now. Alright, our next card is The Devil Reversed, which follows with a mirror. And the question is, where are you giving your power away? This could be a pattern of perfectionism, people pleasing, or even overwork that masks as devotion. Oh, that one hurts. Ouch. Ouch. I felt that one overwork, that masks is devotion. The reversal here means that you're ready to break the chain, but you have to choose to break the chain. That's the thing. The devil is still about choice. There's so much about choice in this week's readings. It's like you have so much ability to choose. When, when you're going to lay things through rest, when you're going to take your power back, when you're going to stop over-delivering, overdoing things, and, and, and nobody's, nobody, no energy, no angelic presence, nothing is in your way to be like, don't do that right now. It's like, no, you have to learn to be responsible for yourself and the devil is present this week to help you learn those lessons and personal responsibility. And then we have the hermit reversed. What were we just saying about the hermit being the card of the year? So this echoes last week, me, last week's message in a really, really big way. You have gone inward maybe too far. Um, I know that sounds counterintuitive after I've been like, go inward. Go inward. But there's a wisdom in solitude, you know, until it becomes avoidance. And, and so there's this fine line and I feel like what you're doing this week, along with everybody else around you is. Learning to feel. Cancer feel seasoned feelings are paramount, but you learn to literally feel, feel it in your body, feel it in your emotions. Those differentiations on that fine line of solitude versus avoidance. And sometimes you cross over the line and you go into avoidance. And this week it's like, okay, if you feel that, it's like, well, let's strengthen the muscles and like learn those subtle nuances so that you can play in those spaces a lot more. Effectively and be more adept at it. And it just makes you a stronger leader in your business in the long run. It doesn't mean that you did it wrong because you went into avoidance. Um, it, it just means like, okay, now I know where I, now I know where the boundaries are. Sometimes you've gotta figure out where the boundaries are in order to know how big is the room, how far can I go, and where do I prefer playing within that spectrum of space. So if you've been hiding from hard truths or refusing to share your process publicly, this card says it's time to come back into connection. There is this feeling through the cards that we've already seen and through the astrology that we've been looking at this week. How much, um, you are being called into sharing a bit of imperfection and it's not about like, let me cry on the shoulder of the internet, um, is my dear biz bestie, Tanya would say that person is crying on the shoulder of the internet. We're not doing that. It's more like humanity at its core is imperfect. To be fully with humanity and on humanity's side means you must embrace your humanity too, which means you are going to be imperfect and people need to be able to see that imperfection so that they can recognize that you are honest humanity as opposed to people who are still in the performative stage and state where they're, you know, just sort of like pretending to be something, but they're not. We all can tell the difference between somebody who's being honest and somebody who's not. Sometimes it takes us a little longer to figure it out, but you know it when you know it one way or another. And so you wanna think about, how do I wanna operate with the people in my world right now? So this whole base of the pyramid is screaming enough, stalling. The inner work's already happening. Let it move you. Don't, don't resist it. Um, I don't know if we've got like a Star Trek fan in here, but I keep seeing resistance is futile. That's like a little, it's a little drastic, but, you know, it works, I guess. Um, but yeah, enough, enough stalling it, it, it's time to be okay with being really imperfect. All right, let's go into our middle tier, which are our confirmation cards. We have the only upright card of the whole pyramid spread. The five of cups is upright, and then we also have the King of Cups that is reversed. These cards are pure emotional inventory, so let's take a minute to unpack it here. The five of cups is. About grief, disappointment, and longing, but it's also clarity. You're seeing what hasn't worked, what fell through, and you have every right to feel that. Remember, we are in cancer season. It is supporting your work with celebrations as well as grief, but this card is also a fork in the road. It will you live in the loss. Or will you turn toward what remains? So it's about like feel the feelings, but don't get stuck in the inertia of that, which is why that ritual that we talked about in that foundation spread is so important because sometimes that simple action of the ritual helps you stop from getting stuck in the loss. And helps you move forward into the open avenue. And then we have our King of cups that is reversed, and this confirms that emotional regulation is the key to leadership. This week you might be feeling overextended, creatively blocked, or just exhausted, and it's totally okay. You would also be so not alone in this, so don't fake any calm. Remember humanity, right? Instead, return to calm. Regulate before you communicate. So we're still deep in this water element territory, and cancer season is definitely amplifying that. Remember that your feelings are data. Let them speak, but don't let them drive. So this is where journaling practice can be really useful. I'm seeing somebody you like, it's not even notion, it's like literally Excel spreadsheets or something, but tracking how you feel. Oh, maybe it's like a food journal that you have. Or something. Um, but tracking your emotions, um, so that you can start tracking like how you're feeling so you have some data about yourself.'cause I feel like there's a bit of like a, a cycle that is going for you and it's gonna be really useful to see that. And you're gonna realize like, oh no, I'm not imagining it. Basically you're helping yourself not, not gaslight yourself. And then we'll move to the top of the pyramid where we get our, our grounding, our higher perspective for the week. And that is the Ace of Swords in reverse. And this is all about clarity. That is, it's trying to land, trying to land real hard, but it is being filtered through fear. And in this week you have the opportunity to help clear that fear. So with the Ace of Swords reversed, it's often about mental fog and self-doubt, or unspoken, honestly, any ace I really love. Um, in any reading, even when they're reversed, like they carry so much magic with them. And in the context of the Mercury Retrograde Pres shadow, this card is really flashing, like a flashing neon sign, and it's saying there's a conversation that needs to happen. Maybe the conversations with a collaborator, maybe it's with yourself, but. You are not being honest quite yet. So let this week be the recalibration. Don't rush your decisions, but also don't ignore them either. Um, you can't go into that space where you're like, oh, let me pretend like I don't have to make any decisions. You do, you do, but you don't have to rush it. Um, and I really feel like the conversation for. Most of our Sunday woo crew as I tap into our group, um, is mostly with the self, but there's a few of you where you do need to have maybe a difficult conversation with somebody. I don't think it's gonna be as difficult as you think. I think it feels like it's gonna be more difficult and there's with the feelings again, and it gives you a chance to figure out, hmm, what is up with those feelings. Alright. Let's talk about the CEO pillars for the week. This is your homework for the week. We're gonna start with earth for your body. You've got the three of ones in, and your body may be feeling a bit out of sync with your vision this week when you tap into your body. The three of ones reversed often shows up when you're frustrated that results aren't matching your effort, but it's also a cue to pause. Your nervous system may need recalibration before you take the next leap. So your goal yet again, throw out the readings this week, ground first, and then go. Do you notice the whole, like not rushing that whole, it's, it's almost like Mercury in retrograde is already here. It has been operating like this. Um, you know. Three weeks leading up to it. That's when it starts to kick off and grounding first, and then going measure twice. Cut once, think first, then speak that feeling. You're gonna feel it show up in your body. Your body's gonna be like, I'm kind of tired for a minute, and you're like, I kind of need to sit down for a minute. That's your body being like, whoa, ground first, then go. And then you have air for your voice. The next pillar, this is the seven of cups in the upright position. Just so many ideas and so little clarity. This card invites you to stop chasing shiny objects. Your voice doesn't need to say everything all at once, but you do need to prioritize and simplify. And your goal this week is going to be focusing on the message that matters most right now. Remember that this is the week before Mercury in retrograde goes full swing. And so you kind of have like a week and a half when this reading comes out to you, um, before Mercury goes officially retrograde. So, but think of it as just like a one week period, um, and, and remember to communicate what needs to be said. You know, edit, edit, communicate. Move forward, and then we've got your fire pillar for your energy. This is the chariot in the upright position. It's a big honk, and he, yes, we love this card in the energy seat in a big way. You've got the drive and the momentum is definitely building, but you also need to remember that the chariot asks for emotional alignment before acceleration, so move forward, but only when it feels right. There it is again. Measure twice, cut once. This is a heart led momentum. It is not a pressure fueled hustle, so it's a lot of movement. But remember, if you take off too quickly, you can end up driving that chariot in the wrong direction, and we don't wanna do that either. That is in a like a really costly course correct. That you have to make later. And then your fourth and final pillar for the weak is water. And that's for your nervous system. We have the Queen of Wands reversed this one. Uh, admittedly it stings a bit. Your confidence is a little shaky. Your visibility might feel off the Queen of wands in reverse. Says that you doubt your magic and it's time to reclaim it, but gently, we are still in cancer season. Rest is not a threat to your fire. It's what sustains it. We had some of those messages last week in the readings as well. I'm kind of not surprised to see this show up in this way this week. I do really love the message around rest and not rushing. There is this. Overwhelming message of like, what is the rush? Don't rush. Um, no knee jerk reactions this week. If there's anything you can do for yourself this week is to figure out some kind of personal, personal, like emergency stop switch where if you're gonna be knee jerky about something, you go, oh aha, I'm doing it. Maybe I shouldn't do that right now. You know, if you can catch yourself. If you do end up having a knee-jerk moment, you're gonna get a lot of great data out of it. So you can also approach it like that. We do have repeating cards. I I really loved doing that last week, so I'm trying it again this week. So I'm just gonna point out that the hermit, which was here with us this week, also appeared upright in the June 29th reading last week. The chariot also appeared upright in the June 29th reading last week. I am using a completely different deck and they showed up again and this time they were in reverse. So we're, we're going through an evolution and that is a beautiful thing. We also had the three of wands reversed previously seen two weeks ago in the June 22nd week Pillars. And we also had the Queen of Wands reversed, um, which is honestly a sister Echo to last week's King of Cups upright in the nine of Pentacles. In reverse it. It's really more about like confidence and nervous system themes that are still here, but it felt important to pull that out. They were really talking to each other across the weeks. So remember that repeating cards are. Like you can think of them like sacred echoes, and they're really here to say that the work isn't done yet. Don't rush the lesson, but deepen it. And then if you wanna journal this week, based on everything we've talked about, your weekly prompt is what are you afraid to admit out loud? And what would be. What would become possible if you said it? Let me say that again. When I'm not tripping over my sons. What are you afraid to admit out loud? And what would become possible if you said it? Write it, whisper it, let it move you. Remember, you do not need to cry on the shoulder of the internet. In order to do this work, um, we are in a hermit energy year, which is a little bit more reserved. Make sure you can hear yourself first before you're shouting out into the void. And then as always, every week remember your oxygen mask. Reminder that you're not behind. You are totally right on time. This week is definitely here to show you what still needs tending, and there is a bit of work to do. Mercury is whispering that it's time to prepare. Love that the tarot in general is shouting. It's time to reclaim. Also love that. And then just remember that as you listen to this every week and you put on your oxygen mask first, once you've done that, it makes it so much easier to come back and look at the reading as if somebody else's. Getting the reading and you're watching them get the reading delivered to them. I really encourage you to think of it in terms of your audience, your client avatar, so forth and, and look at it in terms of what might they be going through this week, how can you relate to it? How can you show up for them in a way that helps them? Also go through healing and become more resilient and more prepared to say yes to you and your offers. So that is the reading for the week. Next week, I'm sure it's gonna get really juicy because we're gonna incorporate our, our dear friend Mercury that goes into retrograde like almost every quarter during the year. Um, but we are hitting some really exciting energetic developments for the rest of the year. And, um. Honestly, I am, I'm really here for it. I'm, I'm feeling it in like a really exciting kind of way. It's also like a, oh, holy shit. But it's also really exciting and um, the work this week is pretty specific, so remember just to stay present and I will see you in your earbuds next week. Have a great week, y'all. Bye.
