Six planets in Retrograde. Are you ready for this?

I hope you're doing well, staying cool, and keeping the vibes positive! We are officially in the season of Mercury in Retrograde, and it's definitely time to hang on to your hats!

Mercury struck big time in my life yesterday when I watched 7 Facebook ads go live that absolutely had NO business getting published. WHAT?!?! Like…how did that even happen?

I was just trying to publish ONE ad and help my Virtual Assistant out, but somehow, my sticky little fingers got the best of me, and the next thing I knew…I was throwing wrenches, screwdrivers, hammers, and all kinds of nails into the mix. This is how my face looked after I saw 7 ads go live without knowing what happened.


Perspective is an important thing to maintain when you have multiple planets in Retrograde.

As of today, we have:

  • Mercury is in Retrograde until Friday, September 15, 2023.
  • Venus is in Retrograde until Sunday, September 3, 2023.
  • Saturn is in Retrograde until Saturday, November 4, 2023.
  • Neptune is in Retrograde until Wednesday, December 6, 2023.
  • Pluto is in Retrograde until Tuesday, October 10, 2023.
  • Chiron is in Retrograde until Tuesday, December 26, 2023.


That's SIX planets in Retrograde, y'all. Do you know what that means?!?

Some of you may be saying....That means I need to go to the Maldives and wait til this is over. Others may be saying...Oh holy heck...I think I need to see a therapist.

With six planets in Retrograde, that essentially means:

  • Take it easy on yourself and be especially open to rest, pivoting, and taking extra time and energy to do things
  • Think TWICE…EVEN THRICE before you initiate BUYING anything costly like electronics or vehicles
  • Plan accordingly and give yourself TIME to execute, refresh, return, and reassess
  • Curbing impulsive decisions and giving yourself 24-48 hours to get clear, feel good, and then respond.


Just because SIX planets are in Retrograde doesn't mean you pause your life for good.

Even hunkering down under a blanket in your Netflix cave isn't going to fix or change anything. You still have to make decisions and take action. Every. Single. Day.

Now, I'm not trying to freak you out. These retrogrades have been happening for a hot minute. And this is why the main key themes I'm hearing in Akashic Record Readings are:

  • "I feel lost and unclear of what steps to take."
  • "I feel restless, but I don't know what I want to do."
  • "I just need some clarity and direction."
  • "Why do I feel this way?"
  • "I feel like I'm spinning, and I'm not sure how to stop it."


I get you. I hear you. I see you, and my friend, this is an important season to give yourself three critical things:

  1. Grace
  2. Space
  3. Nature


Grace means giving yourself the slack and allowance needed to address your feelings without judgment. It's the invitation to allow your Divine self to honor who you are and focus more on BEING rather than doing.

Space means giving yourself breaks and walking away from the things that cause you stress, worries, or anxiety. It means dwelling in the present moment to collect your thoughts, ground your emotions, and recalibrate to your senses.

Nature is the invitation to be present with what's around you and to remember what's important. The here, the now, the moment.

We get so caught up in our plans and goals that we forget to look up.

For many spiritual entrepreneurs, you're looking at your Q3 and heading into potential Fall promotions. For creators and agents of change, you're tapping into the energy to get revitalized and aligned with prosperous outcomes. For those who may be feeling stuck in a job, you're wondering…why am I still here?

All these thoughts, ideas, and feelings that roll around in our minds must be addressed and recalibrated.

This is the season to consider what's important and how you can roll through 2023 with grace, ease, space, and in sync with nature.

Recently, I've received emails from clients expressing their disappointment that I'm phasing out single 1:1 sessions.

First of all…this is going to take some time. I've worked super hard on my business to grow it to this level, and I'm starting to shift my focus to group and personalized coaching as well as supporting my clients who desire to experience deeper transformation through packaged sessions. I've got ONE open 1:1 spot left for the year, so if you want that spot...take action (yes...even during a retrograde).

Starting in 2023, I'll only offer less than five individual 1:1 sessions because I'm rolling out something more fitting for my clients.

I am offering the Akashic Soul Clinic to help my clients with their immediate, most pressing questions. This is a monthly membership where you can submit one question plus a bonus question every month. Do you know what this means?

No longer do you have to feel lost or worried.
No longer do you have to stew in impatience.
No longer do you have to wait.

You can join the Akashic Soul Clinic at the introductory price of $47.00 and immediately submit your questions for August and September. That's what I'm here for:

  • to support you in those key moments when ONE decision makes a HUGE difference in the big picture
  • to help you get clear on what action to take to make the most of your month, experience, life, and choices
  • to witness your capacity to choose and support you in aligning with your path


You've never been alone. The RKs(Record Keepers) reinforce that. That's why I'm super excited to invite you to the Akashic Soul Clinic because there's a lot of magic waiting for you here!

In the meantime, take it easy on yourself. Be extra kind and gentle. Stay hydrated and grateful. You're a lucky duck to be here on Earth right now!
