This week stirs the sacred soup of ego, compassion, and personal responsibility as Mercury stations retrograde in Leo. With supportive trines to Ceres and a gentle sextile to Venus, there’s a hum of healing and possibility in the air, but it’s wrapped in the challenge of not doing too much, too fast. Just because we feel the ache of others doesn’t mean we’re meant to solve it. And just because we can act doesn’t mean we should. With Mars inching closer to the South Node, impulsive urges may tempt us to overextend. The lesson? Compassion is not control. The waning Moon asks us to slow down, reflect, and anchor into empathy that’s wise, not reactionary.
Let’s tread gently. Let’s listen more than we fix. Let’s remember: your presence is often enough.

🕯️ Weekly Mantra
“I am a witness, not a savior. I hold space, not control. I trust in the timing of healing.”
This week invites you to shift from urgency to understanding, from doing to being. With Mercury retrograde and ego flares rising, the best medicine is deep presence. You are not here to save the world. You are here to show up with love, with clarity, and with open eyes. Let the retrograde slow you down enough to listen to what really matters.
And remember: you don’t have to fix what was never yours to carry. 💫
