Toe Tipping Through Trepidation Turns to Taking Something Meant For You</span></h4><p><span>Mercury is direct, but for many, it won&#8217;t feel that way.

Those who are not mesmerized by the fake sparkles of intrusion become obsolete.</span></p><h3><strong><span>This week&#8217;s energy changes: The Impossible Seems Possible.</span></strong></h3><p><span>The recent aligning of 6 planets puts a halo over the crown chakra of our zodiac signs.

Pay close attention to what your body needs, including growing the mind. Love is being created right now to match your new path. Step into and breathe. You&#8217;ve got this. </span><a href="https://calendly.com/ascendingsoulsjourney"><span>Ask your questions here.</span></a></p><h3><span>Taurus</span></h3><p><span>Last week brought the secure path forward. There&#8217;s no reason to look behind unless it&#8217;s a lesson reminder. Pockets and drawers fill up quickly. Watch the clutter, and pull out your unique reward. Now you see your long-term foundation goals make sense. Apples show as a guided tool: nutrition, health, and happiness dominate the field.  </span><a href="https://calendly.com/ascendingsoulsjourney"><span>Ask your questions here.</span></a></p><h3><span>Gemini</span></h3><p><span>A sneaky buzzard may be circling overhead, but it&#8217;s not to bring jealousy or hardship as a satisfaction. It brings a sign, but proceed with caution. Crystals or prayer books won&#8217;t work this week, as your knowing literally manifests on this plane. Smiling or holding a door open for someone hits the core, and that&#8217;s when things get good.  </span><a href="https://calendly.com/ascendingsoulsjourney"><span>Ask your questions here.</span></a></p><h3><span>Cancer</span></h3><p><span>A family member changes the plan and starts the week feeling something is lost; however, sit tight, as things grow more in your favor. This change puts you in the spotlight, calling in new energy. Ramp-ups and glow-ups begin. Comments and stares will guide your increased vitality, with a twist of something special. You look lovely!  </span><a href="https://calendly.com/ascendingsoulsjourney"><span>Ask your questions here.</span></a></p><h3><span>Leo</span></h3><p><span>This week, the cosmos are waving to you. Through nature, the fine-tuning to a perfect opportunity shows up, right in the nick of time. You step into the egoless king who can lead the group with conviction. While mingling in a crowd, someone in administration notices Leo. Smile back and let Venus rule your house of love, and oh gosh, does it show it.  </span><a href="https://calendly.com/ascendingsoulsjourney"><span>Ask your questions here.</span></a></p><h3><span>Virgo</span></h3><p><span>Family members announce a big betrayal that sends shivers through to your feet. A universal nudge, a reminder: feet are made for walking. A happy celebration brings a surreal inner peace filled with beauty.  Cooking and cleaning can wait, while the water calls you to think about the good in life and take it farther. Cleanse your mind and heal the heart for what is coming your way this week. But only if you&#8217;re ready.  </span><a href="https://calendly.com/ascendingsoulsjourney"><span>Ask your questions here.</span></a></p><h3><span>Libra</span></h3><p><span>Your relationships change when the non-supporting people leave. This time for good. It may feel awkward briefly, but not for long. Libra shakes it off and pulls in the reins to say, &#8220;I am enough,&#8221; because you are. An invite arrives with a twist of fun and foundational security. Follow your gut.</span></p><p><a href="https://calendly.com/ascendingsoulsjourney"><span>Ask your questions here.</span></a></p><h3><span>Scorpio</span></h3><p><span>Priorities change, and you&#8217;re stepping into your full power. The universe has your back, and people notice a change in you. Sudden shifts in finances show up with some side offers, especially in romance. You have earned all the good coming this week. Be authentic and enjoy!</span></p><p><a href="https://calendly.com/ascendingsoulsjourney"><span>Ask your questions here.</span></a></p><h3><span>Sagittarius</span></h3><p><span>A family triangle reveals a harsh truth that changes the dynamics to a completely different tune. Sing, dance, and let it roll off your back while stepping into a true leader. Passion hovers nearby, asking you to take a chance. Luck is on your side.  </span><a href="https://calendly.com/ascendingsoulsjourney"><span>Ask your questions here.</span></a></p><h3><span>Capricorn</span></h3><p><span>A universal synchro, a sign, shows exactly how powerful you are, bringing in a higher-quality opportunity. Now, restored confidence and intuition guide you to all the right choices. This week will feel like it was created just for you. Increase passion through a new project where focus is key. Keep saying, &#8220;I&#8217;ve got this,&#8221; and so it shall be.  </span><a href="https://calendly.com/ascendingsoulsjourney"><span>Ask your questions here.</span></a></p><h3><span>Aquarius</span></h3><p><span>An old acquaintance or loved one shows the monkeys flying in the background, searching to get you back. Ignoring them and focusing on your new project will elevate your life band to separate them for good. The cosmos are going to push you to expand further, leading to stability. Let the sun give you 15 minutes of pure vitamin D, lifting your spirit to climb again. Smile big, you&#8217;ve earned this!  </span><a href="https://calendly.com/ascendingsoulsjourney"><span>Ask your questions here.</span></a></p><h3><span>Pisces</span></h3><p><span>A second chance will be asking for forgiveness, but the choice determines whether you reach your goal. Puppy dog eyes won&#8217;t work; they&#8217;ll need to show authenticity to say yes. The wings of love fly over, dropping hearts above your head when someone catches your eye. Living life to the fullest is your greatest strength, pulling all loose ends together. Go get &#8216;em!   </span><a href="https://calendly.com/ascendingsoulsjourney"><span>Ask your questions here.</span></a></p><p><mark data-color="#fff2cc" style="background-color: rgb(255, 242, 204); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span>Follow us on </span></mark><a href="http://cozioligy.com"><mark data-color="#fff2cc" style="background-color: rgb(255, 242, 204); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span>Cozioligy.com</span></mark></a><mark data-color="#fff2cc" style="background-color: rgb(255, 242, 204); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span> and </span></mark><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@Ascendingtalk"><mark data-color="#fff2cc" style="background-color: rgb(255, 242, 204); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span>Ascending Talk with LA Gonzales</span></mark></a><mark data-color="#fff2cc" style="background-color: rgb(255, 242, 204); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span>.</span></mark></p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.ascendingsoulsjourney.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Ascending Souls Journey is a reader-supported publication.

everyday life and support growth. This is a continuation of <a href="https://www.ascendingsoulsjourney.com/p/5-signs-you-are-upgrading-to-a-new">5 Signs You Are Upgrading To A New Frequency</a> posted previously. </p><p><span>When your frequency is upgrading, your physical body often misinterprets the extra energy as a threat; it can feel exciting and fearful at the same time. The body is upgrading.</span></p><p><span>Think of it this way. You have been dropping off (or may be throwing off) anything that didn&#8217;t feel right. Not necessarily knowing why, but you began to trust the subtle prompts and just did it. Then you had to move through the ego. Equally as challenging as the emotional side. Saying goodbye to something we held onto out of ego, then dropping it, is often one of the hardest experiences we have, and it&#8217;s hard.</span></p><p><span>After these many processes, you can feel hollow inside. Empty and perhaps lonely. From a spiritual perspective, you are actually empty. Here&#8217;s where the good part becomes impactful. You already have your &#8220;new&#8221; hovering above, waiting for this &#8220;clearing out&#8221; to be finalized in order to move into the reset.</span></p><p><mark data-color="#00ffff" style="background-color: rgb(0, 255, 255); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span>Join our paid community for full access or </span></mark><a href="https://calendly.com/ascendingsoulsjourney"><mark data-color="#00ffff" style="background-color: rgb(0, 255, 255); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span>book your private session here.</span></mark></a></p><p><strong><mark data-color="#d9d2e9" style="background-color: rgb(217, 210, 233); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span data-color="#351c75" style="color: rgb(53, 28, 117);">Watch the new video on YouTube: </span></mark><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwDl0KIhAts"><mark data-color="#d9d2e9" style="background-color: rgb(217, 210, 233); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span data-color="#351c75" style="color: rgb(53, 28, 117);">New Moon + Solar Eclipse - All Zodiac Signs</span></mark></a></strong></p>

Things around you seem chaotic, or perhaps too indescribable and plain, outright weird, as you go through your day.</p><p>It can really hit us hard after all we have mounting up. The daily grind is how it&#8217;s been termed for years, and until recently it never made sense. But mayhem is definitely showing up in places we never would dream of - even in our dreams.</p><p>When you go through deep life changes, big or small. Whether it's what I found today, your internal architecture shifts, you begin to see where people you trusted failed you, or where old dynamics no longer fit who you are becoming. But as you shake loose from those old cycles, your mind and body have to recalibrate to a higher baseline.</p><p>If life feels a bit like a timeline glitch lately, you aren&#8217;t going backward. You are simply upgrading to a new frequency. Here are five undeniable signs that an energetic shift is currently taking place in your life. </p><p></p><h2>5 Signs You May Be Upgrading</h2><h4>1. People From the Past Re-Emerge Out of Nowhere</h4><p>You suddenly get a text from an ex-friend, or hear a name you haven&#8217;t thought about in years. Old faces seem to pop up out of hiding. That person who hurt you deeply all of a sudden shows up as a new follower. Sounds nice, right? Look closer, and you will see how they sneak back in without you knowing. Or perhaps the ongoing conversation returns, clearer today than back then.</p><p>This isn&#8217;t happening to pull you backward into old drama. It is a divine check-in&#8212;a living benchmark to show you just how far you&#8217;ve come on your journey. It highlights the firm boundaries you&#8217;ve successfully set for your new path, while showing you gently where your energy still needs a little extra protection.</p><h4>2. You Feel &#8220;Wired and Tired&#8221; All at Once</h4><p>Your body feels completely exhausted, yet your nervous system feels like it&#8217;s firing high-voltage signals in every direction.</p><p>You might lie down to rest, only to feel an internal hum or buzz that makes it hard to truly drop off. This &#8220;wired and tired&#8221; state happens when your physical body is working overtime to integrate rapid energetic upgrades while processing the daily demands of life.</p><h4>3. Missing Objects and &#8220;Timeline Glitches&#8221;</h4><p>Objects literally vanish into thin air, only to reappear hours later right where you left them.</p><p>Just the other day, I set my earplugs on my bed alongside my laptop, getting everything cleaned and ready to work. I took the trash out, and when I returned, they were gone. Three hours later, they reappeared right in front of me, even though no one else was here. The universe shows us these physical &#8220;glitches&#8221; as a clue that we are shifting timelines. You may even notice people in your life acting strangely. As if they briefly don&#8217;t recognize your energy, only to bounce back into alignment later.</p><div><hr></div><p><strong>Energy must be cleared to move into the new upgrade. Book your <a href="https://calendly.com/ascendingsoulsjourney">Timeline Therapy or Clearing session with Lori Ann </a>and get ready to take off.</strong></p><div><hr></div><h4>4. Unexplained Time Loss and Time Expansion</h4><p>You look up at the clock, and four hours have vanished in what felt like twenty minutes. Even when you look back at what you accomplished, the math of the time difference just doesn&#8217;t make sense.</p><p>Time dilations are a form of divine confirmation. As your frequency accelerates, linear time becomes more fluid; a sign that the realities and manifestations you&#8217;ve been calling in are closing the gap quickly.</p><h4>5. Sudden Shifts in Taste and Daily Habits</h4><p>Foods and drinks you used to love suddenly taste completely unappealing. Your absolute favorite comfort meals might get knocked off your list overnight because your body is preparing to make the jump.</p><p>Even your daily staples, like your morning cup of coffee, can suddenly lose its flavor or make you cringe to drink it. As your vibration lightens, your body naturally rejects dense or heavy physical inputs that don&#8217;t match your new baseline.</p><h2>Understanding the Recalibration Effect</h2><p><strong>Why do these unusual events happen all at once?</strong></p><p>Think about the last time you prepared for a long, major trip. The process is grueling: planning, packing, arranging logistics, and double- and triple-checking every single detail to ensure you have what you need. Then, right in the middle of it all, you realize something obvious is missing, adding a sudden spike of stress to an already overwhelming day.</p><p>When you finally reach your destination after all that chaos, what&#8217;s the first thing you want to do? You plop yourself smack in the middle of a big, comfy chair and just sit to regain your composure.</p><p><strong>That is recalibration.</strong></p><p>As we navigate frequency shifts, especially around powerful energetic portals like the Lion&#8217;s Gate. An entire complex diagram with working, movable parts; both are seen, or under your entire system is calling for that moment in the big chair. It is reminding you of how far you&#8217;ve come, even on the days when you feel stuck or like you&#8217;re moving backward. Now all you&#8217;ll have to do is watch cartoons with </p><p>(Even little signposts, like finding a &#8220;God-dime&#8221; right in the middle of your kitchen floor, are gentle reminders that you are fully supported through this transition.)</p><p><strong>Which of these five signs have you been experiencing lately? Let me know in the comments below!</strong></p><h2>Taking the Next Step</h2><p>Tomorrow, I&#8217;ll share the exact practices that bring quick, effective calm to your mind and body; tools designed to regulate your nervous system on the go, whether you&#8217;re sitting in your car preparing to walk into a building or recalibrating at home.

is known for its hot temperatures and desert backdrop settings&#8212;an alluring environment where the mountains call to you. The whispers of chatter through the trees in northern regions are loud, as you find yourself taking one step closer to them without knowing why.</span></p><div><hr></div><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.ascendingsoulsjourney.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Let&#8217;s go further each week into your growth, your soul, and where it&#8217;s leading you as a free or paid subscriber.</p></div><form class="subscription-widget-subscribe"><input type="email" class="email-input" name="email" placeholder="Type your email&#8230;" tabindex="-1"><input type="submit" class="button primary" value="Subscribe"><div class="fake-input-wrapper"><div class="fake-input"></div><div class="fake-button"></div></div></form></div></div><div><hr></div><p><span>That&#8217;s where I am headed. Making time to calculate each moment with clarity, yet remaining open to the mysteries that are in that place. Somewhere at the base of the mountain&#8217;s edge, where the soul tribes meet... is an area so desolate its address is listed as unknown name in the middle of NoWhere.</span></p><p><span>Just as those physical landscapes pull at our spirits, our soul families do the exact same thing across time and space.</span></p><p><span>Our soul families become separated as we walk through life on earth. The beauty of these deep connections is a truth I have spoken for years: </span><em><span>no matter how far apart we are, we are always connected.</span></em></p><p><span>Right now, your soul tribe families are calling. The muffled voices that creep in at the moment of falling asleep, saying something that pulls you toward them. A sound of a bell or a stream floods your mind as you instantly find yourself feeling surrounded by love. Then you open your eyes, looking from one side of the room to the other, confirming it was nothing. Lying your head back onto the pillow, you sink into the remembering while blissfully falling asleep.</span></p><h3><strong><span>Souls Work From All Angles</span></strong></h3><p><span>It is in this sector where things go deeper. Through the moments of sleep, we begin to see.</span></p><p><span>There is a point in our awareness journey where far-away lands feel so familiar. You can describe in great detail what is really there, yet you&#8217;ve never set foot anywhere near it. Somehow, we begin to see how deeply connected we are in those moments between sleep and wake.</span></p><p><span>It&#8217;s a place where your mind sees people you swear you know. Things grow weirder as we remember conversations with them, but it isn&#8217;t them in the physical sense. When we wake up, it&#8217;s as if it just happened. The words, colors, and those people are embedded in your mind&#8212;in your cellular memory.</span></p><p><span>You see it in the objects we are drawn to, such as mirrors with silver frames representing a past life where you were of wealth. You played the game and won, and here you are now, still drawn to them.</span></p><p><span>Something in you sees it in an obsession with storing food in your pantry, filling it full so a part of you feels safe, even if you&#8217;ve never experienced lack in this lifetime. Maybe it was in the early childhood years that somehow relatives forgot about it, or maybe it was a past lifetime entirely.</span></p><h3><strong><span>The Earth and Body Connection</span></strong></h3><p><span>The Earth feels those old connections&#8212;the ones buried deep beneath the ground we walk on. It&#8217;s moving and sorting faster than our human brains can really comprehend.</span></p><p><span>But your physical body feels it:</span></p><ul><li><p><span>In your digestive system</span></p></li><li><p><span>In your gut</span></p></li><li><p><span>In your sleep</span></p></li></ul><p><span>It&#8217;s calling you.</span></p><p><span>Look around and find your familiar. Not from the obvious, but from that inner connected space that you have been working on to connect. To remember.</span></p><p><span>It&#8217;s time to clear those old timelines and merge with your soul tribes. Some are meant to return to live and explore in that region, while others are meant to return to old timelines and clear them once and for all.</span></p><p><span>Ask yourself: which way is your soul family calling you?</span></p><h3><strong><span>Thank you for reading.</span></strong></h3><p><span>If this piece resonated with you, there are a few ways to stay connected:</span></p><ul><li><p><strong><span>Share your thoughts:</span></strong><span> Drop a comment below or reply to this email.

for those seeking thoughtful astrology, grounded awareness, and practical guidance. Rather than focusing on prediction or fear, each week explores the current planetary movements, the collective energy they may reflect, and how those patterns can support greater clarity and intentional living.</span></p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.ascendingsoulsjourney.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe now&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.ascendingsoulsjourney.com/subscribe?"><span>Subscribe now</span></a></p><div><hr></div><h1><strong><span>Collective Weekly Energy</span></strong></h1><h3><strong><span>When We Begin to Second-Guess Ourselves</span></strong></h3><p><span>Have you ever made a decision that felt completely right, only to question it a few days later?</span></p><p><span>Absolutely nothing changed, and the opportunity is still wide open. You know your path is still unfolding. Yet your mind begins searching for proof that you made the right choice.</span></p><p><em><span>This week carries that kind of energy.</span></em></p><p><span>As the cosmic landscape continues shifting after Mercury&#8217;s retrograde and Chiron begins its retrograde journey, many people may notice themselves revisiting recent decisions, conversations, and personal healing. This isn&#8217;t necessarily a sign that you&#8217;ve made the wrong choice. Instead, it offers an opportunity to distinguish between thoughtful reflection and slipping back into old patterns of self-doubt.</span></p><p><span>At the same time, Venus moves into Libra later this week, softening communication and encouraging balance within relationships. After weeks of internal movement, the collective atmosphere begins supporting greater harmony, cooperation, and emotional steadiness.</span></p><div><hr></div><h2><strong><span>Soulful Reads</span></strong></h2><p><strong><span>This Week&#8217;s Pick</span></strong></p><p><strong><span>&#127911; </span></strong><em><strong><span>The Untethered Soul</span></strong></em><strong><span> by Michael A. Singer</span></strong></p><p><strong><span>Why I chose it:<br></span></strong><span>This week&#8217;s reflection is about learning to recognize the difference between fear, overthinking, and the quiet voice of inner knowing. This book explores our relationship with the mind and may offer another perspective as you move through this week&#8217;s energy.  </span></p><p><span>An Excellent read!</span></p><div><hr></div><h2><em><strong><span>Your Weekly Zodiac Energy Forecast | August 3&#8211;9, 2026</span></strong></em></h2><h3><em><strong><span>Aries</span></strong></em></h3><p><em><span>Life slows just enough for you to recognize how much you&#8217;ve already accomplished. Rather than charging toward the next goal, spend time refining what you&#8217;ve built. A conversation later this week helps confirm you&#8217;re moving in the right direction. Confidence grows through patience rather than speed.</span></em></p><h3><em><strong><span>Taurus</span></strong></em></h3><p><em><span>Peace begins replacing uncertainty. Financial matters, home life, or long-term security start feeling more stable, allowing you to breathe again. Trust your instincts when making practical decisions. This week favors steady progress over dramatic change.</span></em></p><h3><em><strong><span>Gemini</span></strong></em></h3><p><em><span>Your mind has been running miles ahead of everyone else. This week brings welcome clarity, helping you organize your thoughts into a realistic plan. Someone may offer advice that confirms what you&#8217;ve quietly known all along. Listen carefully before responding.</span></em></p><h3><em><strong><span>Cancer</span></strong></em></h3><p><em><span>Emotional balance returns as old worries begin losing their hold. Family, home, or personal relationships feel easier to navigate when you stop trying to control every outcome. Allow yourself to receive support rather than carrying everything alone.</span></em></p><h3><em><strong><span>Leo</span></strong></em></h3><p><em><span>The spotlight naturally finds you, but this week asks for authenticity instead of performance. You no longer need approval to validate your direction. The more honest you are about what truly matters, the easier it is for others to recognize your quiet strength.</span></em></p><h3><em><strong><span>Virgo</span></strong></em></h3><p><em><span>Your attention turns toward creating healthier routines that support both body and mind. Small adjustments produce lasting results. Don&#8217;t overlook the value of rest, proper nourishment, or simplifying your schedule. Less truly becomes more.</span></em></p><div><hr></div><h3><em><strong><span>Libra</span></strong></em></h3><p><em><span>Harmony begins returning to relationships and communication. Someone may finally understand what you&#8217;ve been trying to express. If an opportunity for reconciliation appears, approach it with honesty instead of expectation. Balance grows from mutual respect.</span></em></p><h3><em><strong><span>Scorpio</span></strong></em></h3><p><em><span>You&#8217;re discovering that transformation doesn&#8217;t always require letting everything go. Sometimes growth means appreciating how far you&#8217;ve already come. Trust your intuition if something feels complete. Closing one chapter naturally creates room for another.</span></em></p><h3><em><strong><span>Sagittarius</span></strong></em></h3><p><em><span>The future continues calling, but this week encourages you to enjoy the present before rushing ahead. Organize the details you&#8217;ve been avoiding, and you&#8217;ll find your next opportunity arriving with far less effort than expected.</span></em></p><h3><em><strong><span>Capricorn</span></strong></em></h3><p><em><span>Recognition for your consistency begins showing itself in unexpected ways. Continue building quietly without worrying about who notices today. Your foundation is stronger than you realize, and others are beginning to see the results of your dedication.</span></em></p><h3><em><strong><span>Aquarius</span></strong></em></h3><p><em><span>You are a big deal now, with new ideas arriving through everyday conversations or unexpected encounters. Keep an open mind because inspiration may come from unlikely places. Your unique perspective helps others see possibilities they previously overlooked.</span></em></p><h3><em><strong><span>Pisces</span></strong></em></h3><p><em><span>Your mind feels especially clear this week. Instead of absorbing everyone else&#8217;s emotions, you&#8217;ll recognize where your own inner voice begins. Creative ideas come from months of unusual dreams that will now be shared with others.</span></em></p><div><hr></div><h2><strong><span>Paid Community - Looking Ahead</span></strong></h2><p><span>This

action. </p><p><em><strong>Hello, Sun, Moon, and Rising signs!</strong></em></p><p>We open the month with Mercury finalizing its post-retrograde shadow phase on August 6th, lifting the remaining mental fog and clearing the runway for crisp communication and forward movement. </p><p>Shortly after, the Lion's Gate Portal peaks on August 8th, there is a high-frequency alignment that amplifies our intentions, heart-centered leadership, and spiritual manifestations.</p><p>Adding to this electric momentum is one of the biggest astrological shifts of the decade: the Lunar Nodes swapping into the Aquarius (North Node) and Leo (South Node) axis. </p><p>This nodal shift redirects our collective evolution, asking us to move away from ego-driven dramas and individual validation, and step boldly into community, innovation, and authentic collective growth. </p><h4><em><a href="https://calendly.com/ascendingsoulsjourney">Timeline therapy is open. Book</a> your session and clear the slate.</em></h4><p></p><p>As the Full Moon lights up the skies on August 27th, expect sudden clarity, emotional liberation, and a powerful urge to release whatever restricts your highest timeline.</p><p></p><h3>Quick Tip for August: </h3><p>Once Mercury completes its shadow on August 6th and the 8/8 Lion's Gate opens, timing and authenticity are everything. </p><p></p><h3>August Recommended Focus:</h3><p></p><p>Collective harmony over individual pride.

Not to mention the metals, irons, and earthly elements having a bit of a supercharge themselves; a tug is always near.</span></p>

An old project or dynamic requires your discernment before you can fully launch into the new.</span></p><p><strong><span>Libra</span></strong></p><p><span>Balancing your inner world becomes much easier as the cosmic dust settles. You are being asked to communicate your truths clearly, even if it feels uncomfortable at first. Reconnecting with a trusted voice from the past brings unexpected reassurance.</span></p><p><strong><span>Scorpio</span></strong></p><p><span>Transformation doesn&#8217;t always have to feel heavy. This week, you are experiencing the lighter, more actionable side of a major personal breakthrough. Trust the physical relief you are feeling, and let go of the urge to micro-manage the outcome.</span></p><h4><a href="https://calendly.com/ascendingsoulsjourney">Scorpio - Private readings are closing. Get yours today with Lori Ann</a></h4><p><strong><span>Sagittarius</span></strong></p><p><span>Your vision for the future is expanding, but the universe is asking you to anchor it in the present moment. Take a beat to address the small, lingering practical details you&#8217;ve put on the back burner. Once those are cleared, the green light is yours.</span></p><p><strong><span>Capricorn</span></strong></p><p><span>The weight you&#8217;ve been carrying in your professional or public life is finally shifting. Recognition for past endurance is on the horizon, but your main priority this week is grounding your physical energy. Rest is just as productive as action right now.</span></p><p><strong><span>Aquarius</span></strong></p><p><span>Unexpected clarity arrives through a shift in your daily perspective. Keep your eyes open for subtle messages in casual conversations or emails. You are being reminded that moving in a new direction doesn&#8217;t require knowing every single step&#8212;just the next one.</span></p><h4><a href="https://calendly.com/ascendingsoulsjourney">Aquarius - Private readings are closing. Get yours today with Lori Ann</a></h4><p><strong><span>Pisces</span></strong></p><p><span>Your intuitive boundaries are strengthening, allowing you to separate your own energy from the noise around you.

Each week, LA Gonzales gives practical guidance rather than fear-based prediction. Each week offers an opportunity to pause, reflect, and move through life&#8217;s experiences with greater clarity and intention.</span></p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.ascendingsoulsjourney.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe now&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.ascendingsoulsjourney.com/subscribe?"><span>Subscribe now</span></a></p><div><hr></div><h2><strong><span>Collective Weekly Reflections: Long Overdue Results</span></strong></h2><p><span>Last week&#8217;s energy shifts made a significant impact in that final decision you made. Consciously or unconsciously, that choice was decided, and this week it will begin to show in everyday living.</span></p><p><span>A new job offer arrives after months of believing it was gone. Now, out of nowhere it&#8217;s back and will be needing your answer soon. There are so many to list, but here are some other examples:</span></p><blockquote><p><span>A phone rings.</span></p><p><span>An email appears.</span></p><p><span>Someone mentions your name.</span></p><p><span>An opportunity you thought had passed quietly returns.</span></p><p><span>Not because it was late.</span></p><p><span>Because now you&#8217;re ready to recognize it.</span></p></blockquote><p><span>That&#8217;s beautiful.</span></p><p><span>No matter what area of life, this week&#8217;s energy will be tapping you to say one thing:</span></p><h3><span>&#8220;Are you paying attention?&#8221;</span></h3><p><span>A gentle reminder to always follow your internal compass to avoid any drama. This week is flashing a blue light, signaling communication from family and friends of the past.</span></p><p><span>&#128998; </span><strong><span>Blue Light</span></strong><span> &#8211; Communication, truth, justice, clarity.</span></p><blockquote><p><strong><span>This week flashes a blue light.</span></strong></p><p><span>A signal connected to the element of Air; the realm of truth, communication, fairness, and justice. Conversations may arrive unexpectedly through family, old friends, a phone call, an email, or even a stranger whose words shift your perspective.</span></p><p><span>The question isn&#8217;t whether communication is coming.</span></p><p><span>The question is:</span></p><p><strong><span>Are you paying attention?</span></strong></p></blockquote><h2><strong><span>A New Life: One Moment At A Time</span></strong></h2><p><span>Last week was the release and opening doorway to something more connected to each person. This is the week of physical movement to enhance the energetic frequency of the door that will close.</span></p><p><span>The imagination is working hard at giving specific details that can only be seen in a self-hypnotic or meditative state. Those unbelievable colors start to show everywhere on the blank walls in your mind.</span></p><blockquote><p><span>You may catch yourself daydreaming more than usual.</span></p><p><span>A room you&#8217;ve wanted to redesign.</span></p><p><span>A business you&#8217;ve imagined building.</span></p><p><span>A place you&#8217;ve wanted to live.</span></p><p><span>A conversation you&#8217;ve rehearsed a hundred times.</span></p><p><span>Don&#8217;t dismiss those moments.</span></p><p><span>The imagination often sketches tomorrow before reality catches up.</span></p></blockquote><p><span>That&#8217;s still poetic and exactly what is needed to make it happen in real time.</span></p><p><span>Whether you are building a home, expanding an area of your life, or starting from scratch, you will see progress by the weekend. Not to mention a boost of energy that gives a healthy, happier vibe.</span></p><p><span>A waterfall changes from spring greens to autumn browns as some are planning their debut in early fall. The timeframe allows for a moment to consider how to present your authenticity. Will it be in print, paint, or camera style? That&#8217;s actually the beauty of this week, with the enhanced senses, everything you touch will feel as if it were a gift for your eyes only.</span></p><div><hr></div><h3><strong><mark data-color="#ff00ff" style="background-color: rgb(255, 0, 255); color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span>ASJ Poll</span></mark></strong></h3><div class="poll-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;id&quot;:778020}" data-component-name="PollToDOM"></div><h2>New for You</h2><p><span>For those seeking a calmer, sovereign lifestyle, reflective conversations, wellness, thoughtful astrology, recipes, books, and real-life stories like </span><em><strong><span>Coffee with Del</span></strong></em><span> and </span><em><strong><span>Trails of Truth</span></strong></em><span>, </span><a href="https://cozioligy.com/"><span>visit Cozioligy.com.</span></a></p><div><hr></div><h3><strong><span>See your Free Daily Messages</span></strong></h3><p><em><a href="https://cozioligy.com/daily-cosmic-hub/"><span>Cozioligy Daily Hub Horoscope</span></a><span>: Get your free daily horoscopes at our new sovereign lifestyle community, Cozioligy.com.</span></em></p><div><hr></div><h2><strong><span>Your Weekly Zodiac Energy Forecast</span></strong></h2><h3><strong><span>Aries</span></strong></h3><p><span>Finally, a piece of proof you have not only survived, but mastered something dear to you. A project you may have started long ago returns to see it from today&#8217;s perspective. The magician steers the course to growth.</span></p><h3><strong><span>Taurus</span></strong></h3><p><span>Recent events have made life-changing results that will begin to feel natural and flowing. All the planets are coming together to help bull-headed Taureans trust they&#8217;ve already made the breakthrough. Positive feedback helps.</span></p><h3><strong><span>Gemini</span></strong></h3><p><span>A more stable and grounded energy this week helps Gemini get things done. It may feel like something happy took over your body and mind as you cross off things to do as done. A new craving will have your hand in the celery or pickle jar. Your body is speaking; listen!</span></p><h3><strong><span>Cancer</span></strong></h3><p><span>It may feel a little wobbly as our Cancers get their sea legs back. The last few weeks of turmoil, or just the energetic charge in the air, are calming down just enough. It could be smooth sailing for those ready to take a plunge into a new opportunity. Balance in diet, thinking, and action this week.</span></p><h3><strong><span>Leo</span></strong></h3><p><span>Well, Leo, it&#8217;s about time. Whether you are thinking it this week or saying it, the time is now with full superpowers. Over the past months, many Lions have been finding new tribes, and this will be a week of gathering. Put yourself out there to meet, greet, and enjoy.</span></p><h3><strong><span>Virgo</span></strong></h3><p><span>After a release from something that felt stuck, this week will feel a bit smoother for Virgo. Calming but still needing to catch a few odd balls thrown your way, particularly when a truth is revealed. That moment arrives when the truth cuts the cords for good!</span></p><h3><strong><span>Libra</span></strong></h3><p><span>There is a spring in the step of Libra, almost feeling like Mother Nature is calling you. A drive to a local mountain town, stream, or creek will get you grounded into your new start in a snap. The air, the colors, and energy will lift your spirits high and show up in your week.</span></p><h3><strong><span>Scorpio</span></strong></h3><p><span>This week will continue that feeling of calmer waters for our Scorpios; however, someone will show up with a long overdue opportunity to close out once and for all. The trust you&#8217;ve been feeling in yourself comes to light, guiding you to a better place. You are finding your soul tribe, one at a time.</span></p><h3><strong><span>Sagittarius</span></strong></h3><p><span>The week&#8217;s energy will satisfy the craving of Sagittarius. Take the time to try one new item. A new dish at a local pub, a new holistic product that works, or anything that captures your attention. The cosmos are guiding you to rest, grow, and live in the present moment.</span></p><h3><strong><span>Capricorn</span></strong></h3><p><span>Like a strong horse, you are plowing through everything to be removed from your life&#8217;s garden. A person over here. The lie over there. Your love life over here. The changes are significant and beneficial, moving you into a better position for your success. Balanced diet - Balanced life = Happy Capricorn.</span></p><h3><strong><span>Aquarius</span></strong></h3><p><span>Well, it&#8217;s about time for some of our Aquarians to stand up and share. Share your journey, your growth, realizations, and those frequencies you&#8217;ve had rushing through. A deeper connection to the planets will highlight specific gifts and skills to use for growing life and receiving your well-deserved abundance.</span></p><h3><strong><span>Pisces</span></strong></h3><p><span>The two fish become one as you master your mind, body, and spirit this week. Pisces who have already made remarkable changes will have higher senses to guide you in each direction. You will just know what to say and do to benefit you and those around you. Trust is the keyword this week.</span></p><div><hr></div><h2><strong><span>This Week&#8217;s Tuesday Soul Lesson</span></strong></h2><p><span>Sometimes the hardest part isn&#8217;t making a decision. It&#8217;s continuing to believe in it when life becomes ordinary again.</span></p><p><span>This week&#8217;s Soul Lesson explores: </span></p><p><em><strong><span>&#8220;Trusting Yourself To Make

choosing a new direction, there is often a moment when it quietly returns. Not to stop us.</span></p><p><span>To see if we&#8217;re paying attention.</span></p><p><span>It doesn&#8217;t usually arrive with loud alarms or obvious warnings. Instead, it peers through the window of our mind.</span></p><p><span>As a memory suddenly appears or a familiar situation presents itself. The connections we carry begin to work through an unexpected coincidence that catches our attention.</span></p><p><span>Sometimes it&#8217;s only for a brief moment; the life we left behind begins to look surprisingly comfortable.</span></p><p><span>You may even feel it physically.</span></p>

astrology and grounded awareness. Each week, it gives practical guidance rather than fear-based prediction. Each week offers an opportunity to pause, reflect, and move through life&#8217;s experiences with greater clarity and intention.</span></p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.ascendingsoulsjourney.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe now&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.ascendingsoulsjourney.com/subscribe?"><span>Subscribe now</span></a></p><div><hr></div><h2><strong><span>Collective Weekly Reflections: Living the Life You Chose</span></strong></h2><p><span>Over the past few weeks, many have found themselves making important decisions.</span></p><p><span>Some have chosen a new direction or have expanded their purposeful path. Others released relationships, habits, or responsibilities that no longer fit the life they wanted to create.</span></p><p><span>No matter the choice, it was made. Now comes the part few people talk about.</span></p><p><span>Actually, &#8220;Living it.&#8221;</span></p><p><span>There is a noticeable shift in the energy this week. The urgency begins to settle, replaced by something quieter. The excitement of making a change gives way to the everyday work of becoming the person who made it.</span></p><p><span>This is where confidence is built. Not through one bold decision, but through the small choices that follow. By showing up and remaining consistent.</span></p><p><span>Trusting yourself even when immediate results haven&#8217;t appeared. It&#8217;s not easy to hold trust in something unseen, and in those moments, the old habits begin to whisper your name. The old familiar thoughts and patterns begin to tug at the shirt tail, saying Hey, take another look. No, it doesn&#8217;t mean you&#8217;ve taken a deep dive backward. Actually, it is a sign of progress and of adjusting to the new unfamiliar around you.</span></p><p><span>Growth often feels uncomfortable before it feels natural. So this week supports patience, consistency, quiet confidence, and the process of allowing your new direction to become part of your everyday life.</span></p><h2><strong><span>A New Life Is Built One Day At A Time</span></strong></h2><p><span>We often imagine change happening in a single moment.</span></p><p><span>The day we quit. When we wake up and say, &#8220;That&#8217;s enough.&#8221; Pack up everything and leave.</span></p><p><span>That is the day we move in ascending motion. We overcome the fear of staying in something that leaves us drained.</span></p><p><span>Each time we let go of something that once connected with us, we move forward. New or revisited by something or someone from the past. Mercury in retrograde will be pulling your heartstrings one way, your mind another.</span></p><p><span>Now it&#8217;s time to begin building. But lasting change rarely happens all at once, so patience is required. Patience in gathering all the information, finding the perfect location, and seeing the ideal opportunity before you.</span></p><p><span>New patterns begin with one step. Meeting people in places you never thought possible and understanding why patience is needed. It&#8217;s through the conversations you will register the energetic frequency of those speaking. Through that one moment, you decide to trust yourself with each passerby.</span></p><p><span>Honoring the newly executed boundaries, you can see obstacles and either avoid them or use them to go past them. Whatever the choice is comes from inner trust.</span></p><p><span>If you find yourself in a quandary or asking yourself &#8220;should I or shouldn&#8217;t I,&#8221; take a moment to recalibrate. With breath back in balance, walk. For 10 minutes, be.</span></p><div><hr></div><h3><strong><span>ASJ Poll</span></strong></h3><div class="poll-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;id&quot;:728875}" data-component-name="PollToDOM"></div><p><span>For those seeking a calmer, sovereign lifestyle, reflective conversations, wellness, thoughtful astrology, recipes, books, and real-life stories like </span><em><span>Coffee with Del</span></em><span> and </span><em><span>Trails of Truth</span></em><span>, </span><a href="https://cozioligy.com"><span>visit Cozioligy.com.</span></a></p><div><hr></div><h3><strong><span>See your Free Daily Messages</span></strong></h3><p><em><a href="https://cozioligy.com/daily-cosmic-hub/"><span>Cozioligy Daily Hub Horoscope</span></a><span>: Get your free daily horoscopes at our new sovereign lifestyle community, Cozioligy.com.</span></em></p><h2><strong><span>Your Weekly Zodiac Energy Forecast</span></strong></h2><h3><strong><span>Aries</span></strong></h3><p><span>Momentum is building, but this week reminds you that not every step has to be dramatic. Quiet consistency creates lasting results. Work in silence until it&#8217;s complete, and everything is ready.</span></p><h3><strong><span>Taurus</span></strong></h3><p><span>Your foundation continues to strengthen at the prime time to gain momentum. Trust what you&#8217;ve already begun, rather than comparing it to where you used to be.</span></p><h3><strong><span>Gemini</span></strong></h3><p><span>Your mind may be racing ahead, but your greatest progress comes from finishing what you&#8217;ve already started. Start with the one that keeps your focus longer, then you&#8217;ll get it all in the right order and done.</span></p><h3><strong><span>Cancer</span></strong></h3><p><span>The emotional adjustments you&#8217;ve been making are beginning to settle. Permit yourself to enjoy the peace you&#8217;ve been creating. Make a conscious choice to do something special to celebrate your progress.</span></p><h3><strong><span>Leo</span></strong></h3><p><span>You don&#8217;t need to prove your decision to anyone. Let your actions quietly demonstrate your commitment. All eyes are on you, and they will see the roar return in a new way. Keep up the healthy habits; the benefits show.</span></p><h3><strong><span>Virgo</span></strong></h3><p><span>Progress isn&#8217;t measured by perfection, but by accomplishments. Notice how far you&#8217;ve come instead of how far you think you still have to go. It&#8217;s challenging to drop that one thing, the habit, but if you do&#8230; wow!</span></p><h3><strong><span>Libra</span></strong></h3><p><span>Balance returns as you stop questioning yesterday&#8217;s choices and begin fully participating in today&#8217;s life. Each moment is precious for everyone, and Libra, you may be sharing the good news with someone close. A little coaching session that can turn into something greater.</span></p><h3><strong><span>Scorpio</span></strong></h3><p><span>Something within you feels lighter than it did only a few weeks ago, which is significant at this time. Trust that inner shift, even if others don&#8217;t yet recognize it. You&#8217;ve been down in the trenches, and now you're cleaning up to re-appear in your life. Enjoy flowing community and conversations.</span></p><h3><strong><span>Sagittarius</span></strong></h3><p><span>The next adventure isn&#8217;t somewhere else. It&#8217;s about learning to embrace the one you&#8217;ve already begun to fully embrace. Jump on board your life ship and sail to somewhere new inside your home. Prepare food, for you or more, with loving intentions and watch your smile return.</span></p><h3><strong><span>Capricorn</span></strong></h3><p><span>Your steady approach serves you well this week. Keep building one day at a time and trust that every small step matters because you&#8217;re correct. You are creating a solid, balanced effect in your personal life that will bring benefits soon.</span></p><h3><strong><span>Aquarius</span></strong></h3><p><span>Fresh ideas continue arriving, as your creativity and mind expand this week. Write them down, while continuing to fully develop the ones already in front of you, which hold value within reach. Eating a clean, light diet will help elevate focus and drive, with some rest in the mix.</span></p><h3><strong><span>Pisces</span></strong></h3><p><span>Your intuition is helping you recognize what truly belongs in your life now. Continuing to follow it will lead you to your desired outcome. Love may come knocking while visiting a local shop. Once again, follow that quiet inner guidance and let things happen.</span></p><div><hr></div><h2><strong><span>This Week&#8217;s Tuesday Soul Lesson</span></strong></h2><p><span>Sometimes the hardest part isn&#8217;t making a decision. It&#8217;s continuing to believe in it when life becomes ordinary again.</span></p><p><span>This week&#8217;s Soul Lesson explores why fear often appears after we&#8217;ve already begun moving forward, and how to keep walking even when the path still feels unfamiliar.</span></p><p><em><strong><span>Tuesday post: The story - the choice - the mindfulness game</span></strong></em></p><div

Each message blends astrology with emotional awareness and personal reflection to help you move through the week with greater <em><strong>clarity, balance,</strong></em> and <em><strong>intention</strong></em>.

There comes a point when all the decisions have been made, yet we can sit and look for a reason not to take action.</p><p>Vibrations run high through the middle of the week, when interesting conversation will give a sense of honor and purpose. It is in the mix of energy that you may feel the Universe tapping you, asking, &#8220;Are you ready?&#8221;</p><p>With some thoughtful preparation, these opportunities will open this week, especially around water. Emotions and feelings will trigger something deeply connected: an old lost love, a romantic encounter, and yes, the ex. Positive or negative, they will be in the upcoming Mercury Retrograde season.</p><p>By the week&#8217;s end, things will be settling down, transitioning from one place to another, and creating new boundaries that are remarkably suited for this week&#8217;s energy, as you allow your soul to feel calm and trust.</p><p><strong>Read your Sun, Moon, and Rising horoscopes below.</strong></p><div><hr></div><h4><em><mark data-color="#ead1dc" style="background-color: rgb(234, 209, 220); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Gain clarity, insight, and clear your timeline. </mark><a href="https://calendly.com/ascendingsoulsjourney"><mark data-color="#ead1dc" style="background-color: rgb(234, 209, 220); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Book your Private Session with Lori Ann. </mark></a></em></h4><div><hr></div><div class="poll-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;id&quot;:630473}" data-component-name="PollToDOM"></div><h3><strong>Free Daily Horoscopes and more:</strong></h3><p><em>Cozioligy Daily Horoscope: Get your <a href="https://cozioligy.com/daily-cosmic-hub/">free daily horoscopes</a> at our new women&#8217;s wellness and sovereign lifestyle publication, <a href="https://cozioligy.com/">Cozioligy.com.</a></em></p><div><hr></div><h1><strong>Your Weekly Zodiac Energy Forecast</strong></h1><h3><strong>Aries</strong></h3><p>Aries, the week encourages patience with something you&#8217;ve already set into motion. Resist the urge to force progress simply because you cannot see immediate results. Trust your momentum.</p><h3><strong>Taurus</strong></h3><p>Taurus, stability is being created beneath the surface even if circumstances appear unchanged. Give yourself permission to relax into the process rather than constantly evaluating it.</p><h3><strong>Gemini</strong></h3><p>Gemini, your mind may revisit old decisions this week. Before reconsidering everything, ask yourself whether new information has appeared or whether uncertainty is simply creating noise.</p><h3><strong>Cancer</strong></h3><p>Cancer, your intuition continues guiding you toward greater emotional alignment. Trust what you already know rather than seeking external confirmation for every step forward.</p><h3><strong>Leo</strong></h3><p>Leo, confidence grows through experience, not guarantees. This week invites you to trust your choices and take action that speaks louder than words and doubts.</p><h3><strong>Virgo</strong></h3><p>Virgo, the desire to analyze every possibility may feel stronger than usual. Focus on progress rather than perfection. Not every answer needs to arrive immediately.</p><h3><strong>Libra</strong></h3><p>Libra, relationships and personal choices come into clearer focus. Trust the balance you have already worked hard to create. Avoid reopening doors that were closed for good reason.</p><h3><strong>Scorpio</strong></h3><p>Scorpio, transformation continues quietly beneath the surface. Something you recently released is creating more freedom than you may realize right now.</p><h3><strong>Sagittarius</strong></h3><p>Sagittarius, your attention naturally moves toward future possibilities. Before chasing the next horizon, take a moment to appreciate how far you&#8217;ve already come.</p><h3><strong>Capricorn</strong></h3><p>Capricorn, consistency becomes your greatest strength this week. Keep showing up for the life you&#8217;re building, even when visible results are still developing.</p><h3><strong>Aquarius</strong></h3><p>Aquarius, inspiration arrives through unexpected insights. Trust your unique perspective and avoid comparing your timeline to anyone else&#8217;s.</p><h3><strong>Pisces</strong></h3><p>Pisces, this week encourages gentle faith in yourself and your path. The answers you seek may already be present; they simply require stillness to be heard.</p><div><hr></div><h2><strong>Take the Next Step: Grounding and Zodiac Reflective Guiding </strong></h2><p><strong>Next Soul&#8217;s Growth Lesson: Should You Trust What You&#8217;ve Already Chosen?</strong></p><p>A deep dive into real-life experiences in our Souls Growth paid community - answering the question of whether you should trust, and why we continue questioning decisions we&#8217;ve already made.</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.ascendingsoulsjourney.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe now&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.ascendingsoulsjourney.com/subscribe?"><span>Subscribe now</span></a></p><p>Women seeking a wellness and sovereign lifestyle, getting comfortable in their sovereign self with others.

those people, those responsibilities, are completely gone. They leave in a flash, like autumn winds blowing through bare trees. Suddenly, you find yourself sitting in the silence of a life of dedication, realizing it wasn&#8217;t just physical things they took with them. It was your energy, your time, your very resources.</p><p><em><strong>The silence is almost deafening.</strong></em></p><p>Like being stranded in a desert, the air grows dry and the sand burns. Pacing the floor, you find yourself wondering: Why?</p>

It is through the knowledge and healing that we automatically begin to weed through everything. Removing anything that is no longer needed or wanted.</p><p>This is where traveling light becomes prominent. The over-effort that was once a part of you is no longer there. Do you see the difference? You are now about equal portions, no more lopsidedness. Living lighter means that effort flows rather than any force. The lighter our load, the easier it is to feel free to go into areas of life that awaken a sleepy soul.</p><p>A willingness that takes over without notice. Your inner voice begins to chime &#8220;don&#8217;t&#8221; as you try to return one of those old items back to where it sat for so long. A person, an object, and yes, returning to an old location will add to the weighted collection, and that&#8217;s where you&#8217;ve learned.</p><p>When your inner voice speaks, your higher self is guiding you. The word &#8220;don&#8217;t&#8221;, as you think about anything returning, is your sign to let go. Give it to the Universe to take care of what it needs. This week carries that energy.</p><p>Many may find themselves looking at responsibilities, commitments, relationships, habits, and even personal goals with a different perspective. What once felt necessary may now feel heavy. What once felt important may no longer hold the same value.</p><p>It is important to remember that with the new moon here, the feeling of defeat or failure is only to trigger the release.</p><p><mark data-color="#ffff00" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">&#8220;You never fail, you simply grow.&#8221;</mark></p><p>As we change, the things we carry must change as well.</p><p>The interesting part is that most people assume progress comes from gaining something new. Yet some of life&#8217;s greatest breakthroughs arrive when we finally release what no longer belongs. A belief. A fear. A role we have outgrown. A responsibility that was never ours to begin with.</p><p>The energy this week encourages simplification.</p><p>You may notice yourself feeling less interested in explaining your choices to others. Less willing to engage in unnecessary drama. Less attached to outcomes that once consumed your thoughts.</p><p>There is a growing awareness that peace has value, and it is felt deeply by those ready to redesign and travel light. To those who follow the prompts, an answer will be discovered by the end of the week. It may be one or all of the following:</p><ul><li><p>Not every battle deserves your attention.</p></li><li><p>Not every problem requires your solution.</p></li><li><p>Not every person is your responsibility.</p></li></ul><p>The week supports emotional clarity, practical decisions, healthy boundaries, and the creation of more room for what genuinely matters.</p><h1><strong>What Are You Still Carrying?</strong></h1><p>Most people never realize how much weight they are carrying until they set it down.</p><p>We become accustomed to it. To the habit of worrying and guilt. There are internal pressures to prove ourselves to others, even if it makes us uncomfortable.</p><p><em><strong><mark data-color="#d9d2e9" style="background-color: rgb(217, 210, 233); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Work with Lori Ann in a Combo Session. We look for past unresolved issues, any energetic ties still attached, chakras, and levels of soul growth. </mark><a href="https://calendly.com/ascendingsoulsjourney"><mark data-color="#d9d2e9" style="background-color: rgb(217, 210, 233); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Book your Session.</mark></a></strong></em></p><p>Inner alignment eventually changes more than thoughts. It changes the environments we choose, the conversations we entertain, the food we consume, the people we allow near us, and the way we move through daily life.</p><div><hr></div><p>For those ready to join a community of like-minded women, a sovereign lifestyle, join us for reflective conversations, wellness, thoughtful astrology, recipes, books, and real-life stories like&nbsp;<em>Coffee with Del</em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>Trails of Truth.</em>&nbsp;Visit <a href="https://cozioligy.com">Cozioligy.com.</a></p><p><strong>See your Free Daily Messages:</strong></p><p><em><a href="https://cozioligy.com/daily-cosmic-hub/">Cozioligy Daily Horoscope:</a> Get your free daily horoscopes at our new sovereign lifestyle community, Cozioligy.com.</em></p><div><hr></div><h1><strong>Your Weekly Zodiac Energy Forecast</strong></h1><h3><strong>Aries</strong></h3><p>Aries, this week encourages you to stop carrying responsibilities that belong to everyone else. Your instinct is to take action, solve problems, and move things forward. Yet not every situation requires your involvement. Focus your energy where it can create meaningful progress.</p><h3><strong>Taurus</strong></h3><p>Taurus, the week invites you to examine what security truly means. You may discover that some of the things you&#8217;ve been holding onto are creating more stress than stability. Trust yourself enough to release what no longer supports your peace.</p><h3><strong>Gemini</strong></h3><p>Gemini, your thoughts may feel especially active this week. Pay attention to repetitive worries that continue circulating without producing solutions. Sometimes clarity arrives when the mind finally stops trying to solve everything at once.</p><h3><strong>Cancer</strong></h3><p>Cancer, emotional baggage from the past may surface for one final review. Rather than revisiting old pain, ask yourself whether it still deserves a place in your present life. Healing often begins with permission to move forward.</p><h3><strong>Leo</strong></h3><p>Leo, you are entering a period where your energy becomes increasingly valuable. Consider where you are investing your time, attention, and creativity. Some situations deserve your light. Others simply consume it.</p><h3><strong>Virgo</strong></h3><p>Virgo, this week highlights the difference between responsibility and over-responsibility. You may notice areas where you&#8217;ve been carrying more than necessary. Allow yourself to simplify rather than perfect.</p><h3><strong>Libra</strong></h3><p>Libra, relationships reveal important truths this week. Some connections feel balanced and supportive. Others may reveal expectations that no longer align with who you are becoming. Trust what you are seeing.</p><h3><strong>Scorpio</strong></h3><p>Scorpio, transformation continues through release. You may feel called to finally let go of an old emotional attachment, pattern, or belief. The space created by that decision allows something healthier to enter.</p><h3><strong>Sagittarius</strong></h3><p>Sagittarius, freedom becomes a recurring theme throughout the week. Consider whether the limitations you&#8217;re experiencing are external or self-imposed. Some doors open the moment you stop carrying outdated fears.</p><h3><strong>Capricorn</strong></h3><p>Capricorn, your practical nature serves you well now. A simple adjustment in priorities may dramatically reduce unnecessary stress. Focus on what truly matters rather than everything demanding your attention.</p><h3><strong>Aquarius</strong></h3><p>Aquarius, a fresh perspective arrives through an unexpected conversation or realization. You are beginning to see certain situations more clearly.

Their habits are changing almost automatically. The foods they choose, the way they sleep. Even the way they spend their time seems different from the way it was a few years ago. Some call it becoming more aware. Others describe it as moving into a lighter way of living.</p><div><hr></div><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.ascendingsoulsjourney.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe now&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.ascendingsoulsjourney.com/subscribe?"><span>Subscribe now</span></a></p><div><hr></div><blockquote><p><strong>&#8220;From furnishings in living spaces to the food we eat, zodiac signs are changing.&#8221;    </strong><em>~ LA Gonzales</em></p></blockquote><p></p><p>As we sleep less but more deeply, the body wakes up wanting to ingest something that matches. We are moving from quantity to quality. The energetic vibrations jolting the digestive system are yelling out, we need something better.</p><p>It isn&#8217;t about a diet, which I&#8217;ve always believed is a personal competition, but about something deeper. Not social media pressuring to push a button, and the body seems to be sending clearer signals than before. The digestive system is no longer willing to tolerate something that no longer fits who we are today.</p><h2>Fruit and Body</h2><p>Everybody, hold on tight, because the food you reach for often reveals where you are on your journey. Not to others, but to yourself, and fruit is at the front and center of your body. Each piece of the earth&#8217;s sweetness is here to help us, as humans, develop and grow in proper alignment.</p><p>Mother Earth&#8217;s love of humans provides a specific character trait to each piece of fruit. The boldness of a pineapple (guess which zodiac sign this one is for) or the softness of a peach. All of them can take your lack of energy and lift us to a higher, better place. Not only the physical body, but also the inner body connects to our personalities.</p><p>The body talking to itself isn&#8217;t new; however, it is becoming the fast path to a healthy lifestyle. After hours in a hot setting, watermelon may sound good, even prompting a craving, &#8220;I have to have it,&#8221; but not in the same way. Now it&#8217;s because watermelon is known to give instant hydration, and our bodies know it.</p><p>Whether you are leveling your natural energy flow, rebuilding your health, or listening to your body, each zodiac sign has its own flavorful fruit to be honored.</p><div><hr></div><p style="text-align: center;"><strong><a href="https://calendly.com/ascendingsoulsjourney">Book Your Psychic Reading here</a></strong></p><div><hr></div><h2>The Fruit Mirroring Your Zodiac Sign</h2><p></p><blockquote><p>Whether you are leveling your natural energy flow or completely redesigning your digestive system, each zodiac sign has its own flavorful fruit to be honored.</p></blockquote><p></p><h3><strong>Aries</strong></h3><p><em><strong>Pineapple &#127821;</strong></em></p><p>The bold, energetic, and impossible zodiac sign to overlook, Aries mirrors the Pineapple. With a protective coat of armor, hiding the sweet center inside becomes a reminder. Strength and sensitivity can co-exist. Aries love the charge forward to something new and exciting, but the pineapple teaches that true confidence comes from knowing when to be bold and when to sit back and enjoy the taste of life.</p><h3><strong>Taurus</strong></h3><p><em><strong>Strawberry &#127827;</strong></em></p><p>The sweet, comforting, and universally loved strawberry reflects the energy of Taurus. A zodiac sign that reminds us of having appreciation for life&#8217;s simple pleasures. Taurus lets us know that stability is not about standing still, but about creating a foundation strong enough to support growth. Like the strawberry, this sign finds beauty in simplicity and nourishment in consistency.</p><h3><strong>Gemini</strong></h3><p><em><strong>Grapes &#127815;</strong></em></p><p>Growing together in clusters, grapes perfectly capture Gemini&#8217;s social and curious nature. Each grape is unique, yet connected to the whole bunch. Gemini thrives on learning, conversation, and exploring new ideas. As awareness spans, Gemini may find themselves reaching for the grapes as their knowledge and wisdom grow.</p><h3><strong>Cancer</strong></h3><p><em><strong>Peach &#127825;</strong></em></p><p>Soft on the outside with a strong and sweet center, the peach mirrors Cancer&#8217;s nurturing spirit. The zodiac sign is known for caring deeply for others, while quietly carrying great inner strength. The peach becomes alluring when this zodiac sign is over-giving and needs to put itself first to maintain endurance and beauty.</p><h3><strong>Leo</strong></h3><p><em><strong>Mango &#129389;</strong></em></p><p>Bright and vibrant, the mango&#8217;s full flavor dances with Leo&#8217;s natural warmth, rhythm, creativity, and strength. Much like the tropical fruit, Leo&#8217;s bring life to a dull party and put the light back into the room. The mango and this zodiac sign pair perfectly to help others feel seen and appreciated.</p><h3><strong>Virgo &#9805;</strong></h3><p><em><strong>Apple</strong></em></p><p>The practical, reliable, and endlessly versatility of the apple reflects Virgo&#8217;s grounded nature. Apples don&#8217;t demand attention; they simply provide value, much like a Virgo. Always seeking improvement, but the apple teaches that perfection is not required for worthiness. Sometimes the greatest form of growth is learning to appreciate what already works.</p><h3><strong>Libra</strong></h3><p><em><strong>Pear &#127824;</strong></em></p><p>Balanced, graceful, and quietly elegant, the pear mirrors Libra&#8217;s desire for harmony. Libra naturally sees multiple perspectives and often helps others find common ground. The pear reminds us that balance is not about pleasing everyone, but remaining true to yourself while maintaining peace with others.</p><h3><strong>Scorpio &#9807;</strong></h3><p><em><strong>Pomegranate</strong></em></p><p>Beneath its exterior lies a world of hidden treasures. No fruit reflects Scorpio better than the pomegranate. Each seed represents another layer waiting to be discovered. Scorpio teaches us that transformation often happens beneath the surface long before it becomes visible to the world. True growth requires the courage to explore our own depths.</p><h3><strong>Sagittarius &#9808;</strong></h3><p><em><strong>Orange</strong></em></p><p>Refreshing, energizing, and full of life, the orange captures Sagittarius&#8217; adventurous spirit. This sign seeks new experiences, fresh perspectives, and meaningful discoveries. Like peeling an orange, Sagittarius is always uncovering another layer of possibility. The lesson is not simply to keep moving forward but to appreciate the journey itself.</p><h3><strong>Capricorn &#9809;</strong></h3><p><em><strong>Fig</strong></em></p><p>Ancient, respected, and resilient, the fig reflects Capricorn&#8217;s steady determination. It has been valued throughout history for its nourishment and longevity. Capricorn understands the value of patience and persistence. The fig reminds us that lasting success is often built quietly, one step at a time.</p><h3><strong>Aquarius&#9810;</strong></h3><p><em><strong>Dragon Fruit</strong></em></p><p>The Dragon fruit stands apart from other fruits, much like Aquarius often stands apart from the crowd. Its unusual appearance reminds us that different does not mean wrong. As awareness grows, many people stop following what everyone else is doing and begin paying attention to what truly works for them. The body, like the soul, often thrives when permitted to be itself.</p><h3><strong>Pisces</strong></h3><p><em><strong>Blueberries &#129744;</strong></em></p><p>Small yet powerful, blueberries reflect Pisces&#8217; gentle and intuitive nature. Often underestimated, they contain remarkable nourishment beneath their modest appearance. Pisces reminds us that sensitivity is not weakness but a gift. The quiet inner voice, when listened to, often carries the wisdom we have been searching for all along.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Moment Before You Say

This time of day is normally busy, but not today. From the tree limb, normally scratching the roof or the scurrying of squirrels, not a sound was heard. Not a person was seen.</p>

insight, and grounded soul guidance rather than fear-based prediction. Each message blends astrology with emotional awareness and personal reflection to help you move through the week with greater clarity, balance, and intention. Subscribe for weekly insight to navigate everyday life.</p><p><strong>(Blue Subscribe Button)</strong></p><h1><strong>Collective Weekly Reflections: The Invitation Arrives</strong></h1><p>There are moments in life when everything appears unchanged on the surface, yet something profound is shifting beneath it. This week carries that feeling.</p><p>Many may notice their heart racing unexpectedly. Not from fear alone, but from standing in front of a choice that has the power to change something important. The opportunity may arrive through a conversation, an invitation, a new relationship, a project, a move, or a simple realization that refuses to leave your mind.</p><p>The energy this week feels less like searching and more like receiving. After months of clearing, questioning, rebuilding, and redefining what truly matters, many are beginning to see the first signs that life is responding.</p><p>Some will find themselves celebrating personal victories. Others may receive recognition for work completed long ago. New friendships may emerge. Unexpected doors may open. Certain connections will feel almost destined, arriving at exactly the right moment.</p><p>Yet discernment remains important.</p><p>Not every open door is meant to be walked through. Some are distractions. Others are passages leading toward the next chapter of your life.</p><p>Pay attention to the people entering your world now. Notice what conversations keep repeating and what opportunities continue presenting themselves. The body often recognizes truth before the mind fully understands it.</p><p>The week supports conscious choices, meaningful connections, emotional courage, and trusting yourself enough to recognize when an invitation belongs to your future.</p><h2><strong>The Space Between Fear and Possibility</strong></h2><p>There is something interesting about standing on the edge of change, like when the heart pounds the same way before a mistake or a miracle.</p><p>The body rarely knows the outcome in advance. It simply recognizes that something important is happening. Many people spend years avoiding opportunities because they mistake possibility for danger. Others rush forward without listening to their own wisdom.</p><p>This week invites balance.</p><p>Rather than asking whether something feels scary, ask whether it feels true.</p><p>There is a difference. One comes from fear, and the other comes from growth.</p><p>Over the coming days, life may present choices that cannot be answered by logic alone. Sometimes the answer arrives through a feeling, a repeated sign, a conversation that lingers in your thoughts, or a quiet certainty that appears without explanation.</p><p>Trust yourself enough to listen.</p><p>Inner alignment eventually changes more than thoughts. It changes the environments we choose, the conversations we entertain, the food we consume, the people we allow near us, and the way we move through daily life.</p><div><hr></div><p><strong>See your Free Daily Messages:<br></strong><em>Cozioligy Daily Horoscope: Get your <strong>free daily horoscopes at our new sovereign lifestyle community, <a href="https://Cozioligy.com">Cozioligy.com</a>.</strong></em></p><div><hr></div><h1><strong>Your Weekly Zodiac Energy Forecast</strong></h1><h3><strong>Aries</strong></h3><p>Aries, this week presents an opportunity directly in front of you. The challenge is not finding a door to walk through; it is choosing which one deserves your energy. Your instinct may be to move quickly, but a brief pause could reveal important details.</p><h3><strong>Taurus</strong></h3><p>Taurus, something is helping you recognize your own value more clearly.
