With Mercury entering retrograde on August 4th it’s no surprise that triggers and questions around our identity, sense of self, egos and passions may arise. This month’s reading was empowering and honest, highlighting an opportunity to overcome and heal the things we may have avoided or put on hold. Here are messages to guide you through your month's energy & signs of confirmation to look out for.
Remember this is a collective reading so use your intuition to discern what is right and wrong for you. You may even be drawn to both, feel free to read both readings as there may be some words & truths in both that you need to hear at this time.
Each reading will include two groups, image 1 & image 2. Using your intuition the image you feel drawn to the most will be your collective group.

COLLECTIVE 1
Sister, this month you are being summoned into sacred action. A hidden thread, an old desire, belief, or unspoken wound, long buried within your psyche now rises to be seen. It dwells in the underworld of your shadow, asking not to be feared but to be transmuted. This is not a time to retreat from your emotions or bypass discomfort. Instead, you are asked to meet it all with courage and clarity.
Boundaries are your protection now. Speak your truth, honour your needs, and stand firm in your energy. At the same time, your intuitive gifts are stirring & listen closely. The subconscious realms are rich with insight and healing; working within them will reveal inner power and alchemy.
Embrace solitude as a sacred rite. In the stillness, inquire with your shadow self. What no longer serves your path? What beliefs must be composted to nourish new life? Allow yourself to restructure from the roots.
Though this cycle may feel weighty, trust that the heaviness is not punishment, but preparation. The Universe is guiding you through necessary transformation. Trust the process & what you shed now creates fertile ground for your soul’s next bloom.
COLLECTIVE 2
You are being gently reminded to hold your fear with compassion, not cast it outward onto life or those around you. This is a season of pause, of peace, replenishment, and deep inner listening. Be mindful not to overextend yourself or force progress through sheer will. There is wisdom in slowing down. Bring softness to your days, and weave gratitude into every action, no matter how small.
You are being called to surrender. To release the grasp on anything misaligned, and to suspend action where your spirit does not feel fully alive. Ask yourself: are there decisions, paths, or obligations that must be lovingly released so you can realign with your higher truth?
Honour the stillness. Trust your intuition even if it calls for delay or reevaluation. It is okay if certain projects or plans come to a pause, this is not failure, but redirection.
Discernment is your ally now. Through quiet clarity, new doors and greater opportunities will be revealed. Let go of urgency. Flow with grace. The path ahead is unfolding, trust your inner compass to guide you home
