Week of July 13, 2025

This week’s energy is not subtle — and that’s the point. After Uranus smashed into Gemini and the Capricorn Full Moon cracked open our inner structures, we’re moving through some serious recalibration. With Mercury’s retrograde pre-shadow creeping in, plus a reversal-heavy Tarot spread, this week’s message is clear: slow down, feel it all, and listen to your nervous system.

In this episode, we break down:

• What Uranus in Gemini is really activating in your business voice
• Why the Fool, High Priestess, and Three of Cups keep circling back
• A masterclass in reversals and why they’re spiritual (and strategic) intel
• Why your intuition is screaming louder than your to-do list
• How to work with Mercury’s shadow period to prep your visibility & tech

You’re not broken. You’re just in the middle of a powerful rewrite.
 Let’s talk about how to navigate it with grace (and grounded strategy).

Hello. Welcome back to your Sunday Woo Crew Private podcast. This week's energy for the week of July 13 through July 19th, 2025. Holy moly, it's explosive. Revelatory and fiercely liberating. It's the kind of week that rearranges your mental furniture, not because you planned it, but because the universe came in with a wrecking ball. But lovingly, this week I'm using the tarot Illuminati deck. It's a bold and vivid deck that pulls no punches. If any of you have access to this deck and you want really vivid artwork, this is the deck for you. And just like two weeks ago. We are seeing an abundance of reversals this week, so let's revisit the reminder here at sensible. Woo. I always read reversals. Why you ask. Well, that's because we use these readings for business clarity, and I firmly believe that ignoring reverse cards is kind of like ignoring red flags in your data. So reversals are not to be treated like they're scary in your readings. They are honest signals about. Stuck or internalized or blocked energy. And in business, that's really crucial Intel. I love the way reversals can show us things that are in motion that are currently being worked on, and I'll just tell you that this week, it's kind of like everything. So let's have fun with that. All right. In our TLDR, if you've gotta run off and go do something and you wanna come back, the high points for this week are that your nervous system is your compass, especially this week. Pause before pushing anything. I mean, that lesson is. Kind of been coming for like the last few weeks, but this week, like hardcore, and then reversals are definitely your harbinger of honest signals. You're not failing just because there's reversals in here. It means you're clarifying, and that's a really good thing. Old stories are collapsing. It's time to let them. You are not your thoughts, but you can rewire them. And we're seeing that push in the pull this week. Something joyful really is coming. It's not all like, oh my God, it's so hard, even though it kinda looks like that on paper right now. Amidst all the rub, there is joy here present already in something like really beautiful on the horizon too. And then with all the repeating cards, we're gonna go through that again. I'm really loving doing that with you in these readings every week. Now, um, we're gonna consider those to be divine persistence. It's. Stuff that we need to pay attention to. So we'll do that roundup before we're done with the episode. And then big visibility upgrades are coming. So we're gonna talk a bit about prepping for all your upgrades because Mercury retrograde is in its pres shadow and. This is the last week that I am doing a reading for you before we end up in Mercury's shadow or in retrograde or no, you know what? Correction y'all. Correction Mercury officially goes retrograde on the 17th, which is Thursday, and it's um, right before your next reading installment. So, um, I gotta tell you though. This Mercury retrograde. I, I swear I've been feeling it since like two months ago. Um, there's, there's stuff that's already been going on. The shadow period's been heavy in the energy, so, um, we're just gonna roll with it. Alright, let's do an astrology weather check-in first. So first of all, we are coming off of Uranus that enter Gemini on July the seventh. It was a sudden shakeup to our nervous systems. Raise your hand if you felt that last Monday and how we process our information. It was just this whole thing. It's like the circuitry in your brain got rewired overnight. So if you have been feeling jittery or overstimulated or unusually inspired, that would be your honest at work. And then earlier in the week before this reading, hit your RSS feed, you had the Capricorn full moon on July the 10th, and that was spotlighting all of our long-term goals, business structures, and public image. Remember that full moons are culmination points. It's like the spotlight is on everything. So this one, it delivered some serious insight into how your current systems are serving or sabotaging your ambitions. Hopefully you got to see some of that. You still have time, as I always say, you didn't miss the party because you were busy on Thursday. You'll still be feeling the after effects of that. We're gonna talk about that throughout the readings. Week. So the stuff that is still active right now, mercury retrograde is in Pres shadow when you get this reading, and then the retrograde begins right towards the end of this week's. Been a forecast period. So it's gonna start on July 17th. I can't believe we're already in the middle of July. So, uh, with Mercury and Leo, it's, um, it, it's definitely warming up a retrograde path here. And, and you're gonna wanna use this week when this reading hits your, your inbox. You're gonna wanna use that to back up your data, rewrite any messaging, streamline your client communications. Once the retrograde hits, it'll affect visibility, brand voice, and leadership style. So now is the week to prepare. While all the lights are still on. Um, and, and you know, you can also do this once mercury hits retrograde on the 17th. If you're catching up on your breedings lighter again, you didn't screw up, you didn't fuck up. Just do things as you know, you need to do them like this. Retrograde, I feel, is very much encouraging us not to let things linger. So if you're like, man, I really need to do that thing, and then you're like, you, you can be so tempted to like push it off and this week is going to really be your messages. Don't push it off. Um, I, I, I taught an AI workshop earlier this week, and I would also say that remember that AI can make mistakes and you know, you can have it crosscheck. Double check your messaging. Make sure you read all of that though. Don't just assume that it knows more than you do. So, you know, there's a lot of things that are being automated or pushed off. Maybe somebody else does it for you, like. If they built you a sales page, read your own sales page, like go through it. Don't assume that somebody knows more than you do. Make sure it's the way you want it so that you don't end up with all these other very high tension aspects. Eating into your business, eating into your, your sanity points, and, and really taking energy from you. You don't want that, so it, it'll, it'll help you avoid. Any miscommunications down the line for the next three weeks because nobody wants that. So that it's a, you know, a bit of like a little side quest conversation there on Mercury retrograde. Um, but the other things that are still active, Mars is still squaring Saturn. Um, that happens on July the 15th, right in the middle of this week's, um, forecast period. So what you wanna do is you wanna think about this like a brake pedal that's slammed down while your foot is still on the gas. If you ever remember your driver's ed classes, if you were like me and you're like, Woohoo, let's go drive, you know, and you're. Your instructor has the brake pedal on their side, on the passenger seat. It's like when you hit the gas and they hit the brake at the same time and you're like, holy crap, what's going on? That is the feeling of Mars squaring Saturn. You might wanna move fast this week, but the universe is applying friction for a reason. Don't rush. Instead, you can actually channel all of that vim and vigor all that heat into strategy. Strategy isn't necessarily like we're doing all the things right now. It's like, no, we're actually looking at the picture. We're making conscious decisions. We're double checking our math. We're making sure the math maths out correctly, and we're making sure that we, you know, do this. Right the first time, what did I say? All last week, I think the week before too. Measure twice, cut once, measure twice, cut once. Well, that was in your face a week ago gently. And now much more forcefully because of the Mars squaring Saturn aspect on July 15th. So then your moment has come to measure twice. Before you cut, maybe wait to cut until after Mercury goes direct. And then we also have Venus, which Rine, Kyron. And the reason why I pulled this one out is because, um, all of your visibility wounds, Kyron is a wounded healer. This is like. Imposter syndrome to the max here. So your visibility wounds might be cracking open again, but this week is a great week to tend yourself and not hide. What if, what if your sensitivity is the thing that makes you most magnetic? So instead, we, we talked about the nuance of this last week and, and so if you can figure out a way to be fully human and present and visible while being human and present without crying on the shoulder of the internet. You will win. Venus Trine, Kyron. I've got someone's guiding here saying to put it like that. Um, one of you is like me and you're very competitive and you like winning things. So pretend that it is a competition. You're gonna win, you're gonna win first place in your visibility wounds. So the biggest takeaway for the astro weather this week is that you can't outrun transformation, but you can meet it with grace. That is the goal. So now let's move into our tarot Illuminati cards. We've got our foundation spread. So if you have your deck, you can grab your deck and you can find these cards along with me and lay them out so you have a visual and it's rooted in the deck that you normally work with, which is a wonderful bridge for you to empower yourself with your own tarot deck. So the three cards that hold up the base of our pyramid this week are the fool reversed. Big energy and then the eight of swords also reversed. And then drum roll please. The nine of swords also reversed, y'all, when these cards came out. Oh my God. I was like, oh, holy hell. This is a nervous system narrative if I ever heard one. Listen, the fool reversed signals, a refusal to leap. So you might feel like you're perched at a cliff, fully packed and vision boarded, but you're still talking yourself out of it. Whatever that thing is in your business. This might show up as like almost launching, almost raising your rates, or almost hiring help. You know you want to do it, but the fear of misstep has you frozen. And then we're gonna add into the bowl of ingredients here. The eight of Swords reversed, which is showing you the moment of realization that you've kept yourself stuck. There is no villain here. There's no competitor blocking your path. It's just internal loops or as I would say, inertia. Then you've also got your nine of swords reversed.'cause we didn't have enough swords. We had to do the eight and the nine. And it follows up with the emotional hangover of that truth that you saw. It's guilt, shame, insomnia, overprocessing in the reverse it. Signals a chance to break the cycle. And I love that invitation of the reversal of this nine of swords in this week's reading, there are some tarot readers who feel like certain cards are better aspected when they're reversed, as opposed to upright. And nine of Swords is one of those cards, and I really love that. So when we put this trio together. It's literally screaming, and I do mean screaming. I'm like kind of holding my voice back on the mic because I'm like, I feel like shouting into the mic while I'm reading this to you. And I'm like, I don't think your eardrums will appreciate that. But imagine me screaming this trio is screaming, you are not failing. You're just confronting the real fear behind the delay, and you need to sit with it and then leap. You need to be able to do those things. If you just rush through it and pretend like it's not happening, you continue to live in inauthenticity, and I will tell you that is gonna catch up with you by the end of the year. We are being really encouraged to just break through the bullshit right now. Alright, let's move up the pyramid to the middle tier. This is our confirmation cards. We've got the tower reversed and the five of pentacle reversed reversals. What? There's more reversals. So the tower reversed. Doesn't mean that you get to skip the collapse. It's still the tower card. It just means that you're avoiding it. So someone, oh God, there's more than one. Someone in here getting called out on that. You don't get to avoid the collapse. Nope. And when you avoid, you have to remember that the fall is often. More chaotic later, which is what we don't want. We're, we're coming into a mercury retrograde in our businesses that is very impactful and it's like be supported by that. Yes, it feels like chaos to everybody, but like why make it more chaotic later when you can just deal with it now? And if you've been clinging to outdated offers, systems, or beliefs, this week is going to pry your fingers loose so hard. Listen better to pry it loose now than to have the universe be like, well, I'm not gonna leave a baby bird behind, so you're gonna come along with a collective, but I'm just gonna rearrange all this for you and it is not gonna be comfortable for you. And that is no fun either. I mean, way more, less fun than this tower reversed this week. So it's time to be big and brave. Then we have our five of Pentacles in reverse, and this is your return from exile moment. What it's saying is that you've been telling a story of scarcity, of being left out, of struggling alone, but the door was open the whole time. You and only you can let yourself back in. This is another one of the cards that a lot of readers feel are better aspected when in the reverse position. I do tend to agree with this one especially. I feel like it's really beautiful. But it has a lot of self-agency involved in this card, whether it's upgrade or reversed anyways, and I think that's the thing that is hard for most of us when the five of pentacle shows up in our readings. So in your business reading together, both of these cards say to let the collapse happen on your terms, don't wait for the universe to force your hand and don't. Isolate, it's time to reach out, ask for help. Support is closer than you think. It does not mean you need to air your dirty laundry. It also does not mean you gain bonus points for airing your dirty laundry. It's not about airing your dirty laundry. It's about making strategic decisions where you're like, yeah, that thing is over. There's somebody's guide in here who is. Giving me a lecture right now about how your ego is driving the car, and this is the hard part for you. If you can get your ego this week to take a back seat and you take back over the driver's seat, you're gonna discover that it's still not entirely fun. But no one's judging you for the changes. Nobody is. Looking at you and being like, oh, I don't wanna do anything with them anymore. Like, they're not thinking that, um, that that narrative is something that you're worried about happening, but is not the reality. And so, um, all these cards from the base through the middle are really encouraging you to. See that, and then we get to the top of the pyramid where we have the three of cups upright, what I love to call the party card. And after all of that internal turbulence, that bottom of the pyramid and the confirmation in the middle is so much internal turbulence. This is your, this card is, is the three of cups upright is giving you a soul. Exhale. It's telling you joy is allowed and play is allowed and receiving support is allowed. And you know, newsflash, it can be fun. It can be, it can be enjoyable to receive support because your three of cups brings in community collaboration and celebration. You can look at it like a green light to lean on your people and to remember that joy is not a reward you earn after suffering. It's actually a portal that lets you create from abundance. When you realize that there is so much abundance through the support it. Usher's in this new doorway of things where it's like, this is where your business really wants to move into. And just as I've been saying for all the previous weeks, you know, a, a lot of this for most of us is not super dramatic. It's not that you are moving to another country or changing your entire business from. One type to another. There is somebody who's been in our circles, who's been going through a really, really big change, but for most of us, this is a little bit more subtle. It is more like, you know, changing how you do your sales pipeline structure because the world has changed or changing how you talk to your people. Maybe you were so insistent for so long that you had to be on. Whatever social platform, and you're just realizing like, man, you know, if I really give up the ghost and I realize that all my support is over here and they're willing to go live with me and to welcome me with open arms, and I can give this a try, and I can try it out, let me see what happens. You know, that is not as dramatically a big change, but there is a lot of internal turbulence, which you see. In the, um, the, the entire bottom of the pyramid. And so I think most of the work this week for you as a CEO is really internally as a leader and, um, on the outside, everyone else is still seeing you as, you know, this person who's doing their thing and building their thing, and they're not judging you and they're not seeing it any differently. Um, but there are changes that are required. And you know what those are? I've got more than one guy in here who's like. They, you know what it is? You're hearing me and you've been clocking it this whole time. Um, you know what you need to do, what you need to change. Um, there's a lot of people in here where there is this like center of the Venn diagram between personal life and professional life. There's a lot of stuff that's being ironed out right now. Um, it's like the, the prolonged period of being able to do deep thinking in your business. That message has been coming up in. A lot of non-reading spaces, but in like, in an intuitive way. And it has been really fascinating over the last week. And, um, I, I just think like there's so much competing for our attention right now, whether it's little, little hands and feet at home that wanna interrupt you during the day, whether they are made of pause, like mine and whiskers, or if they are actually humanoid and, and that, and it could be that, it could also be, you know, just like. Having whole, like whole notion boards of like, if I had all these projects and they were so beautiful, and it's like, yeah, and you're not gonna do those anymore. You're actually gonna archive that entire thing. Like the thing is done. Um. It could just be like, you know, I used to send emails on this day, but like it's just so hard to produce it in that way. I've gotta change it. I've gotta do it differently. So don't be afraid to do those changes. Alright, let's do your homework for the week. We have our CEO pillars. We're starting with earth for your body. That is the high priestess in the upright positions PO position. Thank goddess for an upright card. My God tripping over my words to be like, oh, thank God. I thank Evans. We have an upright card. Um, your body is an Oracle this week. You wanna trust it. It's not just fatigue, it's a boundary violation. It's not just restlessness. It's a creative nudge, dreams, gut hits, intuitive pulses. Those are your real data this week, and you wanna honor them. This message with your body, having the answers has been coming up stronger and stronger as the weeks have been progressing recently. Um, I really feel like this week it's going to come to like a really big head. Um, I. And if you've been ignoring those signs, you know, there's this message throughout your pyramid spread of like, don't ignore it. Do something about it. If you ignore it and it's a body thing, I really feel like it's gonna manifest in ways like getting sick or having an injury or something like that. And you, you can totally prevent that this week. So. That's your pillar for body. The next pillar is for air, and that's for your voice. And we have in this deck, it's called the Princess of wands. It's reversed. Um, in other decks, this would be your page of wands. So in this, in this pillar for voice, the fear of saying the wrong. Thing is probably keeping you silent this week, and this reversal invites you to speak anyway. Your message doesn't have to be perfect, it just has to be yours. There's that authenticity humanist thing coming up again in this week's readings. The point is that you don't rob your audience of your presence. Remember, you're serving your audience. You're not serving your. Your critics, um, you're serving your audience, not serving your competitors that you pay attention to, but I hate to break it to ya, boo. They're not paying attention to you. Um, and so when you don't use your voice in the way you need to, that matters to you, it becomes a really big problem. And then we've got your pillar for fire, for your energy. This is the wheel major arcana in the upright position, and in this, in this pillar this week. Divine timing is definitely unfolding. I. Again, this is not a week to force any outcomes, but it is absolutely a time to stay in motion. The universe is opening new doors, but you've got to show up and walk through them, and if you're just standing still or seated. Or you've buried yourself into a whole, some kind of movement this week. It could literally be physical movement, but some kind of action this week is what is going to help the universe help you with those. Open new doors. The universe can open all the doors in front of you, but if you're still a mile back and you're just looking at them and you don't walk forward, it doesn't matter how many doors are open, you still have no access to those doors, and so you have to walk forward. You just have to. Then with water for your final pillar. This is for your nervous system. We have the judgment card upright. Look at all this major arcana in our pillars this week. So with judgment, we've got a spiritual reckoning. When it comes to your nervous system, you've just simply grown too big for your old shell. The call is loud and clear, and that call is to rise. You need to let your nervous system acclimate to this new frequency through grounding practices and compassionate self-talk, really good somatic practices. This is the evolution. Um, I will tell you, I keep seeing, I keep seeing this video in my third eye of something I saw in social in the past week of a crab that was molting out of its o old shell. So, you know, these, these, um. Shellfish, like they outgrow their old exoskeletons and they have to molt and you know, it took a few minutes for it to break free and it's all soft shell in the meantime. So it takes a few days before the shell hardens again. And in the, the work it had to do to free itself of its old shell was. Incredible to watch. And this is me, like the ultimate fan of Dungeness Crab from the coast here. I love Dungeness Crab off the Pacific coast. And, and, and I kept thinking about all these crabs that I've eaten at the time that I've lived here and, you know, and, and I kept thinking like. It's such a process for these animals to exist in the way that they do. And um, you are very delicate when you molt out of the shell. You've outgrown. I've got guides here who are showing, some of you having grown too big and like feeling delicate feels worse than being stuffed inside a too small shell. And so you just like stay stuffed in there, but like you're running out of room to breathe. Like it's, it's really hard to exist. You, you are going to be forced to molt at some point if you don't voluntarily do it. And in the molting process that the universe is gonna do is like me cracking crab shells. It's just gonna take a mallet and be like, and like, there you go. You're free of your shelf and you're gonna be like, oh my God, that hurts so bad. And you know, everything right now is like, you could free yourself from your shell. You could take agency over that process, and you can do it in a way right now where you get to treat yourself well somatically and not have to do triage on your nervous system because you're like, I just gotta keep up with the way the energy is moving. So. You know, this, this is the message for you. I'm also getting a message from someone's guide that someone in here, you, uh, have been hanging around somebody. I don't know if they're like family. I don't know if you're married to them. It feels like a close relationship. Like it's not just like, oh, that's my friend. Um, but you've been hanging around somebody and it, they, they do not want to self molt out of their crab shell. And, um, you know, there, there's only so much you can do for somebody, but when you care about someone and you have to watch them go through the hard lesson, it is really hard. So your somatic care, your nervous system care is very much about. How do you maintain your self care when in the presence and not taking responsibility for someone else you care about? Who's gotta do the lesson the hard way? How are you gonna continue to function in your business? How are you gonna continue to show up and be a hundred percent? You be big and bright when it is really, really hard for that person to do that right now, and they're watching you do it. That that is a lot of tension and I feel like that's where the tension lies. That's a very specific, I do not know who that belongs to. Um, if that belongs to you, you definitely know it. Um, if you're like, I don't know. Can I think of something that would not, that message is not for you. Um, but when we talk about, you know, these readings being collective readings and we talk about how do I find more people, how do I reach my customers better? Well, that kind of message. Message might be something that one of your, or a bunch of your audience members are going through right now, and if you can recognize it and you can speak to it compassionately and you can show up for them compassionately, you just might very well be the exact home plate that they need to land on because nobody else is holding space for them in a way where they can still show up. Grow their business, do the thing they need to do or get the service that you heal people with, or whatever it is you offer your people. Um, while they are also coexisting in life with other people who are having a really hard time molting themselves out of their shells or going through a painful process of the universe, just simply cracking the shelf for them and doing it. For them and them being in maybe a little bit more temporary pain because they're like, that's not how I wanted to do it. You know? Um, and, and you can, you can start to figure out like, oh, maybe I change my sales cycle. Maybe I change the way I do that. Um, maybe I break it up and so I can change the price point. So it's not so huge right now where it's something, something right. You will know you, you will figure it out and you will know that's where those strategy questions came into play this week as well. So we've got repeating cards again. I wanted to make sure that we went through that this week. The fool was back again. It showed up on the June 15th week reading and the July 6th reading. Reversed. So this is a deeper echo from last week's reading when the fool showed up reversed. It's reversed again. Here we had the high priestess, which appeared also last week reversed, but it's upright now, which means you have integrated something and I think that is super cool. So you can go back to the high priestess part and you can figure out. In your journaling time, what do what have I integrated and celebrate that for yourself. And then our three of cups, this was last seen as a top of the pyramid theme in early May. And I feel like it's showing up here, um, as an after glow. And, um, you know, with all of this like. Internal work this week with that three of cups showing up. Again, it's like this reminder of like, yeah, and your community is still with you. And also you can still celebrate things even when things are hard and you're going through a lot of change. So just remember repeating cards aren't just echoes, they're neon signs from the universe. You see messages again and again. It is not a punishment. It is affirmation. It means you're circling closer to the breakthrough. And it also really highlights how much you know your, your readings are not wildly different from week to week. You go through this little change and then that little change, and then the thing shows up again, and then it shows up again and you keep working on it. And you know, I'm using a totally different deck again this week. They've all been shuffled and yet these cards show up again and again. So with that, I'm gonna leave you with your journal prompt for the week, which is what fear are you calling Clarity and what truth is waiting behind it. Remember, you get to do this in private. You do not have to share this all over the place. If it makes you really uncomfortable, you can do the very witchy woo thing of writing this on not precious paper, or it could be precious paper and then burning it. Bonus points for bearing it in your garden. Um, but if it's gotta go down at the garbage disposal or the trash, like so be it. Um, but, but you can try that too, so you can release those fears and you can bring in, you know, the real clarity that's behind it that you really need because. Your future glow up doesn't have room for those fears. Um, and, and we need your magic, right? So, so just remember that this week is tender and electric. If you have been feeling tender, you are not imagining it. You are also not alone. You might want to speed up right now, but the magic still is in the pause. You are being asked not to rush. Let the collapse make space for joy. Let the reversals show you the recalibration, and that is. You're reading for the week. It's a big one. It is a lot of work. Um, but also it's very exciting how much things are evolving and moving forward. So as always, listen to this for yourself. First, reflect for yourself. First put on your oxygen mask and then go back and look at this reading as if you're watching someone in your audience. Get the reading delivered to them and see if that helps inform you about how to continue to make sales and grow sales during times of great change that we are in right now. And you will probably discover yet another little hidden gem in the way people are responding to things right now. And. Other than that, have a safe start to your mercury and retrograde. Do back up your data. Think before you send the emails, and I will see you in your earbuds next weekend.
