⚡️ Week of June 25th Energy Update:
We have a lot happening on Mon, June 29th…
🍓 Full Strawberry Moon in Capricorn
The Strawberry Moon, historically named by Native American tribes, is all about sweetness, abundance, and reaping the rewards for all your hard work. It ripens your ambitions and brings career milestones to light. This full moon lands in the practical, earth sign of Capricorn, forcing you to find harmony between your emotional needs and your external facing goals.
The moon appears larger and brighter at its closest approach to Earth
◼️ Mars Square Lunar Nodes
The nodes are the karmic axis. North Node is where you are growing toward, South Node is the old comfortable pattern you default to. Mars is drive, desire, and how you take action.
When Mars squares the nodes, your energy hits a crossroads and you have to choose: are you pushing toward growth or sliding back into the familiar
♌️ Jupiter Enters Leo
Jupiter is expansion and growth, and it spends about a year in each sign showing you where your life is meant to open up. It’s entering Leo which rules creativity, self-expression, and the courage to be seen. Pushing you into growth through bold self-expression and authentic leadership.
This is your permission slip to stop hiding and take up space
⏮️ Mercury Retrograde in Cancer until July 23rd
Mercury rules communication, technology, and details, when in retrograde us into introspection. In Cancer, it’s emotional and personal: family dynamics, old feelings, memory, and conversations with people from your past. It will feel like closing a chapter around home and belonging.
Double check everything before you signing. It’s also the perfect time to reflect, repair, and journal.
💫 This is your time to get honest about what you’ve already built and step into a more visible chapter, so move with intention.

🪄 Alchemize the Energy: Pruning the Vine Ritual
Full moons are natural times to let go of what no longer serves you. Because of the Earth sign energy, this is a great day to clear out old habits that block your joy or professional success
You’ll Need:
fresh strawberries to represent abundance, sweetness, + the harvest
a black or dark bowl to represent Capricorn’s grounding, earthy nature
a pen and paper
Instructions:
Find a quiet space where you can see the moon, ideally outside on the ground (but if that’s not an option you can sit near a window)
Close your eyes and center yourself in your heart. Visualize roots growing from the base of your spine, reaching deep into the Earth. (Capricorn wants us fully grounded)
On your paper, get honest and write down one specific illusion or bad habit you are ready to stop romanticizing
e.g., “I’m letting go of the illusion that my career will fix itself without taking action.” or “I release the habit of ignoring my needs for external validation.”
Rip this piece of paper into small pieces, which symbolizes breaking the power of that cycle. Then place the pieces into your dark bowl
Now place your hands over your plate of fresh strawberries and reflect on all the hard work you’ve put into these last six months (personally or professionally - we often forget about everything we’ve done because we’re quickly onto the next, so really sit here!)
Speak your gratitude out loud:
“I honor my growth. I accept the sweetness I have earned.”
Eat a strawberry slowly. Tasting the sweetness in each bite. And visualize yourself stepping into a more stable, balanced version of your life.
Take the ripped papers from the bowl and bury them outside in the dirt, or throw them directly into the trash. As you do, say:
“Mistakes are compost for my growth.”
“It’s about taking radical responsibility for your life!” - Tish Dignam 🤍
💁♀️ Storytimeeee
Taking a leap of faith is terrifying, especially as you get older. I don’t know why it becomes so much more difficult, but it is. I’d like to blame in on social media, but I think the answer is simply the fear of failure, as an adult, feels humiliating.
As children we had no problem failing. Even (especially) after a misstep toddlers become stubborn, insistent, and determined. “No, me!” Wanting to try, try, try until they’re met with the sweet victory of success. Then they want to try again. At some point that passion and fire begins to extinguish and we become resigned to the fact that failure IS an option.
I’d like to blame judgement from society on this one. We now exist in a time full of aesthetically pleasing, perfectly curated homes, restaurants, and hotels. While it’s obviously beautiful, I can’t help but notice each design has started to bleed into the next. Perfect curation no longer feels individualized, probably because it’s so easy to copy/paste from one room to the next.
Yet, we crave individuality. Searching for places to spend our time, in and around unique people and things, because it teaches us so much more about the world. It feeds our senses and expands our creativity in a way that no copycat design ever could.
So why is it so scary to be an individual? Or to go after the life you actually want? Insert a laundry list of excuses here:
I’m too old. It’s too late. I don’t have the money/time/resources. I have a family/responsibilities. I wouldn’t know where to start. I’ll do it when XYZ happens. It would take too much time. I don’t know how. I can’t…
LAMEEEEEE ASS EXCUSES. These limiting beliefs are running the show as time literally slips through our fingers. Yes, failing is scary, but you know what’s scarier? Living a life full of regret, because regret breeds other nasty emotions like anger, resentment, shame, and grief. How many people do you know living with anger, resentment, shame, and grief who are actually happy? I’m going to bet zero on this one. The word curmudgeon comes to mind.
curmudgeon | /kərˈməj(ə)n/ | noun
A curmudgeon is a crusty, ill-tempered, and usually old person who is easily annoyed, stubborn, and given to frequent complaining.
When I decided to quit my safe, secure, comfortable corporate job (that I was absolutely miserable in) almost 2 years ago, I didn’t have a plan. I didn’t even have money, financial support, or even family supprot. All I knew was that I was worth more than the bull shit I was putting up with. I knew I had a bigger purpose and that I deserved to live a fulfilling life, on my terms, not someone else’s.
As soon as I made that life altering decision, everything started to fall into place for me. It’s just like everyone says: the right people, experiences, and opportunities start to fall into you lap, without even trying. I kept worrying about how I was going to afford to live more than 6 months without my corporate safety net, when I found out I had a pension I could cash in. It was literal money from heaven and a sign I was being fully supported by the Universe.
Every fear I’ve had has been met with a solution. Not one I had to chase and run after, but one appeared as if out of thin air. When I decided to call in the life of my dreams, I stopped chasing and started attracting. All the healing work I had done on worthiness set me up for success, allowing me to call back my own sovereignty.
(personal) sov·er·eign·ty | ˈsäv-rən-tē | noun
Ultimate authority over one’s own physical body, mental space, emotional well-being, and life choices.
I started taking radical responsibility for my life, my decisions, and my dreams. I stopped trying to manifest and started living in alignment with the life I wanted. I embodied future Christina, Healer Christina. It was terrifying, not because it was actually scary, but because it forced me to face all the limiting beliefs I’d been holding onto so tightly for all those years.
The excuses, reasons, and blocks that kept me small for so long had allowed me to live in an illusion of safety. Once a protective measure, they now represented an old, outdated version of self. One I no longer identified with. One I wanted to leave behind. So I base jumped, without a net or a bungee cord to protect my fall and it’s been the best decision I’ve ever made.

🔮 Oracle Insights:
Together, these cards are a call to widen your view. Perspective invites you to step back and zoom out, past the reactive "me against them" frame and into the bigger picture of your soul's experience. So much of what keeps us awake at night is just a distraction. When you remember how vast it all is, you find space to breathe. From that wider view, Double Mission reminds you why you came here: to grow as a soul and to contribute something to the world. You don't need a grand plan. If you've been dimming your light to fit in, this is your invitation to step into your purpose by following what lights you up. Lose yourself in those passions, and you'll illuminate the world through your presence alone.
