Weekly Energetic Weather: June 30-July 6th
Overall Themes
This week is gonna feel feisty and spicy. Starting tomorrow the provocateurs of the world will be activated and all of us will feel the heat. This is both beautiful and hard. The upside? Growth and revelation can come from being poked and prodded. I experienced this last week. I often encounter the energy of the coming week right before; it’s like my being is prepping. Both my physical and emotional boundaries were tested by two new-to-me humans and I had a big wake-up call. I thought I knew my lines, my boundaries, but I was shown the weakness of their hold. In theory, I knew what to do, but when the moment hit, I found myself fully bulldozed. I was shocked and frozen on the other side. It had been a while since this had happened to me and I thought I was “beyond it”, but now in hindsight, I can see I needed these lessons.
I spent this last weekend recovering by coming back into myself and focusing on rebuilding my energy and reconnecting to my voice, my purpose, and my values. Clarifying who is allowed access to me and who is not, and how to navigate the hazy in-between. The process was exhausting and uncomfortable, but the outcome was worth it because it brought forward quite a few big breakthroughs around my past and confirmed the need for deeper support.
The present is always a reflection of what is undone and lingering from the past… I was provoked, but it gave me a sharp reminder that activated the courage needed to protect my sacred energy. Priceless.
You may have a similar journey this week. The catalyzation of your soul can come from a simple irritating experience or one that completely flattens you. Either way, if it comes, take a breath and recognize that this is part of the energetic weather of the moment and it is an invitation to process what is lingering inside you. Since we are solidly in cancer season, let your emotional landscape be your place of dance, not your mind. In other words, try to feel instead of intellectualizing the full range of emotions around the moment or situation. Let it all come out in a safe place.
You may also be tempted to feel the full range of the provocateur’s emotions. Let that part go. You are only responsible for your own experience. No people pleasing, managing, fixing or merging this week. Focus on what this brings up in you and keep your energy here.
As we discussed last week, Cancer rules the family and, more importantly, your original (read parental and sibling) attachment wounds, sooooo you can guess where all this may show up. Yep, book that therapy session now. Pull out the flower essences and be gentle on your body. You may notice difficulty digesting this week. My single sessions are here for you if you need guidance and support.
This is a fiery and tender week, not an ideal combo, but hopefully with this insight, you can float above others’ treatment and focus your attention on diving into the juicy data it gives you about yourself and your core blocks. If used strategically, this week could lead to powerful releases and the clearance of deeply engrained patterns that have kept you stuck for most of your life. May Divine wisdom guide you, and gentleness lead you as you courageously face your most painful hurts and shift your entire future in one week. It’s a profound time. Use it, my friends.
Moon Schedule
Watch your body. Observe and note how it reveals what you need to address or resolve as the moon moves through the zones of your body. The moonlight is spotlighting your body and focusing attention. Whatever energy the moon is dancing in will highlight that same energy in the body. You will see either a rise in radiance or an unveiling of imbalance in the zones of the body connected to the earth’s current energy. It’s a free litmus test. If this sounds woo-woo, remember it’s just because you weren’t taught this in depth in school, but we are discussing physics here. Everything on the earth and in the solar system around the earth emits energy/magnetism. This energy/magnetism activates your body at a cellular level. The system of astrology is simply an ancient way of understanding how all this impacts us. An archaic language is used that can, until you are familiar with it, feel foreign and even mystical, but it’s simply labeling and categorizing action and effect, like any other system you’re more accustomed to understanding. Let’s go over this week’s moon flow:
July 1st - Moves Into Libra:
Ah Libra, the ruler of the kidneys, adrenals, and ovaries. The queen of homeostasis and balance. The moon will be highlighting your ability to maintain balance by reviewing your detox, energy, stress management, and hormonal status. Get your water in, but don’t forget your minerals. Magnesium, potassium, and sodium are necessary for both hydration and healthy adrenal function. If you notice hormonal fluctuations over these three days, consider looking into the health and vitality of your ovaries with your favorite practitioner. Your body will be obsessed with creating balance, which may create tension if you’re experiencing the emotional waves of this week’s provocative Cancerian twist. My best advice, slow down and open up your days, cultivate space for your body to feel and express and clear.
July 4th - Moon Moves Into Scorpio:
Scorpio rules the colon, and here we may notice dryness or holding that leads to constipation and then bloating or pain. This is a natural result of feeling unsafe as you face old wounds or experience cortisol shocks from possible encounters… stay hydrated and gently massage your abdomen nightly. A little trick if you can’t seem to clear your stool is to skin an orange or lemon and chew and swallow a small piece. Think smaller than a dime. This not a time for rectal contraction, let your sweet cheeks soften and your anus relax. I love baths and yoga for this.
July 6th - Moon Moves Into Sagittarius:
Lung expansion and breath. Lean into heart openers in your yoga practice. Roll the shoulders back and open up the ribcage. Breathe deeply, all the way down to your pelvic floor. Go on walks under the bright blue summer sky and inhale fully. Feel the grief and let it out with sobs, words or strong exhales. If you wake up at 4 AM during these nights, it’s a sign you are moving through alot of deep sadness and or needing more oxygen to flow through the lungs - support both by placing a hand over your heart telling yourself in a soft voice “I love you. It’s good to feel this. You’re home, You’re safe.” and focusing on your breath until you return to sleep. It’s a part of your healing process. The wake-ups will pass when the moon shifts.

Weekly Energetic Weather: June 23-29th
Overall Themes
A weekend of human behavior at its most extremes. Last week I mentioned this past weekend would hold a lot of reflection on our humanity as a whole. The good, the bad, the confusing in between, it’s all floating around heavily right now. Life doesn’t stop for tragedy and pain and it can leave us in a space of disillusionment, dissociation or anger.
This energy is continuing until Wednesday, but with the ever-curious Gemini moon to flavor it. Intellectualization of our emotions may be the unconscious coping mechanism, as a result. Once we hit that Cancer new moon on the 25th though and in the days to follow, it’ll be necessary for you to let the emotions hit your body. You can then express through motion or action, like a good run or a good weep. If you don’t, when the Leo moon hits on Friday, all that stored and intellectualized emotion could show up as anger or internal frustration that most likely will come out in your go-to childhood-patterned way.
With the Cancer new moon we are invited to review how we are mothering ourselves. If like me, motherhood or being mothered has pain around it, this can be a stark time, but hopefully since I’m giving you the heads up, you can prepare a bit.
Keep Wednesday through next Tuesday softer. Speak to the little one inside you that wanted and longed for that deep acceptance and unconditional love from your mother. I do this by visualizing the most precious and darling little girl that i feel compelled to care for or I’ll recall pictures of little Jess that I love. In response to any fears, hurts, worries, confusion or anger that come up, I speak to myself in a comforting voice and gently hug myself or rub my hand over my chest center and say things like “I hear you sweetheart.” “You are safe.” “I know everything looks scary right now, but I’ve got you.” “ You’re allowed to feel this. You won’t lose yourself. I’m here.” It can sound silly, but it’s remarkably helpful and soothing.
Also, wrap yourself up the way a mother with the gift for unconditional love and deep nurturing would wrap you up – with nourishing foods, lots of rest and sleep, encouraging words, and strong protection of your worth and energy. Lean into stillness, with this grace as your foundation. In the stillness, you’ll find yourself once again. Clarity will come. Emotions will settle. Your body will rest easy. Even if the world is on fire, you will find your strength and resilience from this new internal mothering. You will embody exactly what you’ve needed and it will show.
Once you’ve savored this well, let yourself play and be light to balance it all out. Stillness is lovely until it creates extended isolation. Find your balance between the two in your own unique way this weekend. You are loved. You can feel. You can move forward. You can play. You can live.

An archaic language is used that can, until you are familiar with it, feel foreign and even mystical, but it’s simply labeling and categorizing action and effect, like any other system you’re more accustomed to understanding. Let’s go over this week’s moon flow:
June 23rd - Moon in Gemini:
Tonight and tomorrow, I encourage you to dive into some breathwork, whether that’s guided or simply you slowing down to notice your inhale and exhale. Inhale through the nose and exhale through the mouth, often, over the course of the day to ease any congestion in the mind and in the lungs. The body needs extra oxygen these days to keep up with the intense mental and verbal processing that you will be navigating. The brain gobbles up its fuel (glucose and ketones) in energy like this, so you don’t have to be physically active to create an energy deficit in the body. In your human design chart, under digestion, you can see whether you have an active or passive brain. If you have an active brain like me, then you need A LOT of nourishment (nutrient-dense food and hydrating mineral-rich liquids) on Gemini days.
June 23rd - Moves Into Cancer with a New Moon:
Ahhh the refreshing energy of a new moon. Cancer is tied physically to the chest, including the stomach and lower lymphatics. Emotionally, it’s connected to family and the process of attachment. It is the energy of care and nourishment embodied by the Mother archetype. Look at your chart to see what house (areas in your life) that Cancer (type of energy) comes forward for you. For example, Cancer is my 7th house of partnership and my descendant, meaning it'll bring up past/present romantic and platonic partnership themes as well as enhance my natural foundational Cancerian energy. I often receive feedback that I am a very calming, mothering personality, and this descendant placement is where that originates. Your descendant is your core. What you’ve already mastered and just flows out of you subconsciously. Where is Cancer in your map? This will also show when and where the physical element will express most strongly. So for me, I may find that my stomach feels the impact of what I’m processing through with my partnerships and family/attachment style. This could feel like indigestion if I’m not prepared, losing my appetite or even becoming ravenous. I take this all in stride and respond as my body needs. Instead of assuming something is wrong, I acknowledge that this is my body’s current state in light of the energetic weather and allow it to pass through as needed. I know I’ll be good on the other side of it all.
Lastly, New Moons are a beautiful time to observe you or your loved one’s menstrual cycle. If you’re flowing around this time, then you’re in a creation cycle (P.S. Cancer season is THE most potent time for fertility and making babies, so act accordingly. If you are pregnant, really focus on building up the strength of your uterus during this time. Cancer rules the uterus, only when pregnant, so this is a time you can really fortify to hold your babe solidly!). If you’re ovulating, then you’re in a healing cycle. Both are beautiful and give you information on what your body is prioritizing in this season.
June 27th - Moon Moves Into Leo:
Stepping into the heart and the gallbladder with this moon, we see emotional state + need for expression. Without healthy release in the days prior, you might find yourself very angry or bitter at this time. Physically, that can feel like nausea, pain under the right ribcage, body or mind anxiety/panic, waking up between 1-3 AM and can look like heat, rashes, hive spots, breakouts, and constipation or floating light brown stool.
Cover your right abdomen and side body with castor oil overnight (wear a tee you don’t care about to prevent staining or stickiness) to support your liver/gallbladder clearance.
Write down what is most aggravating and frustrating about life right now and then tear up the paper and burn it. As you burn, it declare your prayers out loud – inviting in release, forgiveness, clarity and wisdom.
If you have fiery energy in you, like Leo, Sagittarius or Aries, on your sun, moon, mars or rising, then definitely MOVE. SWEAT. Go kickboxing or punch a pillow/punching bag. You’ll feel AMAZING afterwards. Ease through this weekend and even if you have to move the body like I suggest, invite in the stillness I mentioned above in the mind. Mental quiet and focus can actually often be found through physical exertion so go for it!
Wishing you well as you navigate this week’s energetic weather!

Weekly Energetic Weather: June 16th - 22nd
Overall Themes
This week’s energy continues to encourage us to pursue meaningful, impactful conversations and cautions us around speaking without a solid connection to our true selves and calling. Emotionality, and even wildness, in words is actually beautiful, but emotionality or wildness coming from a place of grounded internal truth versus chaotic external activation is quite different. Both are present in our world at the moment. What are you going to choose? You’re only responsible for your approach. Step into your discussions, expressions, and proclamations with intention and integrity this week.
Starting on Thursday, we transition into a potent but reflective energy. You may find yourself reacting to or spending time reviewing humanity and yourself, extremes of good and bad, high and low, beauty and horror. Allow yourself to go here. Sit with it all and see what comes up.
This time also welcomes in the solstice, a moment of warmth, self, strong contemplation of identity and purpose, and if embodied well, powerful magnetism. It’s a beautiful time to sink deeply into your full whole personhood. To remember your unique purpose - it’s there, waiting for you to recall. You know it, you just may not trust it. This is why I love systems like astrology and human design. They simply call out what you already know deep deep inside, giving you the confidence and courage (or wake up call) to return and honor it.
This is what these systems did for me. They brought undeniable clarity and showed me, sharply, what my unconscious knew, but my conscious did not want and in a way couldn’t bear to see. It made what my body and spirit understood suddenly understandable in my heart and mind. It translated what had once been confusing and unreachable into something very real and stark. I had been waffling between my intuitive path and others’ desires and expectations. The tension was great, honestly, unbearable. This is a very fresh and tender story that I’m not ready to share in full yet, but last year I broke free of this in a rush of unexpected strength and drive I didnt even know I possessed. Now, barely on the other side, I can still say I don’t know how I fully did it, but I’m here raw and fresh, gently living one day at a time like a baby figuring out its first steps again.
What does it look like to walk this life purely from integrity, purely from how God wired us, purely from heart and spirit and a healthy body?
It’s a rich week.
I will never tire of being in awe of all the connection that is our world. This energy that I am speaking to each week is scheduled. I’m not making it up and I’m not sharing it as a reaction to what’s happening. There are predictable and pre-identified rhythms, seasons, and systems that dictate our energy schedule. What’s going on in the world is the reaction to this energy. I find this a very important differentiation, because it means you are being given an opportunity to respond to an intentional energy soup each week. The world is not a random mess; it’s an orchestrated symphony of movement to shift and shape each unique human towards their wholest self. Free will is involved, so the stride of movement is dictated by you. Choose wisely.
We are all here for different reasons and our responses should reflect that, not what other people tell us to do or even what we think we should do based on the culture we grew up in. Each week is a fresh chance to engage with the universe God created and move a little closer to how we are intended to BE while on this beautiful planet.

Let’s go over this week’s moon flow:
June 16th - Moon Moves Into Pisces:
A focus on water in the body can look like a deep need for hydration of the cells and clearing of extracellular water retention. Focus on lymphatic support/movement with massage, walking, swinging in your Chi, sweating in a bath or sauna, and enjoy a shot of whole leaf aloe vera juice in the morning on an empty stomach. Consider adding in potassium-rich foods or supplement over the next two days. You may have a deeper need right now.
June 18th - Moon Moves Into Aries:
Tension, especially around the head and eyes, may arise over these three days. Support relaxation of the muscles, fascia, and blood vessels. Magnesium is my first go-to. Take in capsule form, bathe in magnesium flakes, rub it on the feel as an oil or gel. Saturate yourself in it. Work out. You may need to expend extra energy to allow for sleep and rest. If you’re not in a place to push your body in a workout, open the body up gently through stretching, yoga and breathwork. I love using self-massage tools: theracane for the neck, upper back and along the spine, foam roller for the calves, hamstrings, inner thighs, outer hips and back. Lacrosse ball for the feet, gua sha for the face and neck… have these tools on hand this week. If you need further support to break up tension, apply arnicare gel on the area at bedtime and let it soften and break up the tension as you sleep.
June 21st - Moon Moves Into Taurus:
We move into the lower head and throat region with a focus on your metabolism. Your appetite may be strong right now. If you’re gut microbiome is off, your adrenals are worn out or your blood sugar is imbalanced, then you may experience strong cravings for glucose-rich foods. Ground and fortify yourself through additional foods like walnuts, avocado and root vegetables (potatoes, carrots, zucchini), soften or avoid caffeine, gluten and high fake sugar for these few days. Your thyroid may ask for support and require iodine and other lovely sea minerals. Enjoy raw and fresh seafood and wild fish to bolster and mitigate your thyroid hormone production. If you’re navigating thyroid autoimmunity, you may feel strong fluctuations between hyper and hypo action. Take a moment to acknowledge this and feed yourself as I described above to balance and ease the impact. This is a time to really tune into your body and give it what it needs to rebuild and settle for long-term sustainability.

Weekly Energetic Weather: June 9th - 15th
Overall Themes
Monday - Friday
Under the Sagittarius and Capricorn moons this week, we are going to learn what responsible leadership looks like for each one of us and potentially humanity as a whole. Starting today through Wednesday we may be tempted towards escapism, avoiding the maturity, focus or generosity that true thoughtful leadership entails, but as the full moon hits on Wednesday a wake up call or moment of Divine wisdom will drop in and guide us towards the structure, seriousness and blessings of our calling.
I believe you are here to be a leader, even if it’s simply of your own heart and mind and body. No one has an opt-out when it comes to maturation. You are here to expand. It’s not often comfortable and it sure doesn’t look pretty. Growing while leading often feels like a pendulum swinging from one extreme to another all while others are watching and waiting and commenting, but this is natural. You’ll eventually find your middle ground and land. The underlying challenge for this week will be choosing to accept, instead of shame, your process, because let’s be honest… you may really dislike being witnessed through the whiplash. You’re being invited to refine your ability to hold your feet to the fire and step into a role of guidance or self-initiated growth.
Friday - Sunday
We finish out the Capricorn energy and step into Aquarius influence on Saturday, but starting Friday we will begin to feel the pull. It’ll be dependent on your current emotional state and habit of expression. If you’ve been in the rhythm of over-expressing and struggling to find balance, you will be exploring what healthy restraint or at least intentional and thoughtful expression, could look and feel like for you. If you’ve been repressing emotions, especially out of fear of being controlled or hurt, then you may be offered the chance to crack open your soul and step onto the stage of vulnerability. There will be no promise of safety, but that’s exactly why it’ll be a challenge. You could get hurt, but that in itself is the next stage of the lesson - how to navigate being hurt without shutting down again. I promise you won’t die, even if it feels a little bit like it at first, you will come out of it. I’ve been here.
Whether you want it or not, this week (and every week) is here to open you up. Every time you surrender to the rhythm of the earth’s energies your body finds alignment, harmony, and ease. I personally believe God crafted our universe with intentional energetic themes and rhythms. Each moon state and cycle offers us a new pair of glasses with a specific lens. This week it’s the Sagittarius lens, then the Capricorn lens, and then the Aquarius lens. We are invited to reflect on ourselves and the world around us in this way for however long the moon is influenced by this energy. I love this. It fully matches my understanding of God. Of course, he made a world that catalyzed and expanded us regularly. The ultimate artist and creator, why wouldn’t he use his work to activate us. Our world is so much more that just stone, dirt, water, and sky. Everything is energy, everything has meaning and every part of this world and you is chosen for a reason. This is my view of the world and you are welcome to try it on for size or release it as needed.

June 9th - Moon Moves Into Sagittarius:
How this affects your body: you will feel an impact on your nervous system, you may notice a heightened sensitivity, a tendency to hold the breathe or a need to manually breathe. If you have a history pain or injury to your hips, lower back or upper legs you may experience concentrated energy here.
How this affects your heart/mind/day: an openness, philosophical diversions, a need for freedom or travel or movement
Full Moon in Sagittarius - June 11th: Walk under this beautiful moonlight if you get a chance and contemplate all the blessings you’ve received and challenges you’ve processed over the last 2 weeks. What a gift your life is!
June 12th - Moon Moves Into Capricorn:
How this affects your body: you may experience expressions through the skin if detox is backed up, a glow if not. You may observe tenderness of joints if the body is harboring inflammation, especially around the knees. You might enjoy sharper brain connection, communication within the body, and therefore improved overall function – meaning you feel deeply GOOD.
How this affects your heart/mind/day: an ability to focus, deeper determination to succeed, a seriousness, creation of structure
June 14th - Moon Moves Into Aquarius:
How this affects your body: if you’re navigating chronic symptoms they may show themselves in force over this moon. If you’re in good health, then you may feel an ease almost a forgetfulness about your body, you’ll float ;). It’s possible to experience eye strain or ocular based headaches, so hydrate well and keep your screen time light to avoid.
How this affects your heart/mind/day: a tendency to stay in the mind over heart, enhanced pattern observation, visions for the future and planning
