Twin Flame Energy Forecast July 14th–20th: “Mercury Retrograde”
Re-Evaluations: Healing And Love Want To Reach You - But The Stars Show Us You Stand Stronger Than A Fortress. Time To Soften And Actually Allow The Love You Want To Reach You...
Welcome into a brand new week in the cosmic energies!
Highlights this week include:
Cancer Season continues and Mercury goes Retrograde - into a gentle sextile with Venus. Love misunderstandings show up to be cleared.
And, Sun Square Chiron the wounded healer asks you to open up to healing, instead of walling yourself off.
Plus, Saturn and Neptune are also both Retrograde - the journey goes deeper within...

Revisions, Lessons of the Heart, and Healing What Hurts
This is a week that might feel tender, but what transpires now can be immensely healing and rewarding if you allow yourself to flow with the journey rather than fighting and trying to protect yourself.
After the powerful Full Moon in Capricorn and Saturn going retrograde last week, the central theme now focuses on introspection and honesty as Mercury goes retrograde in fiery Leo.
While some of the energy may seem like a setback, especially with Mercury turning inward, the healing potential this week is significant.
New Ideas And Realizations
New thoughts and realizations may suddenly come to light... not through logic or analysis - but via what the heart remembers and the body holds.
Healing recent communication wounds and feelings of rejection is possible, but you have to let your “shell” open in order to allow love to reach you, shows spirit.
You hold the lock and the key now - do you listen to fear, or do you allow yourself to open?
Reluctant To Look At What's Hurting?
This can feel trickier than it might sound, as the Sun in Cancer is also in a vulnerable square to Chiron the wounded healer.
It shows us that you're likely reluctant to open up to healing, or to even face the deeper wounds that are at work in your situation.
Spirit's advice is - make your mind up to get it handled once and for all. Psych yourself up to take action, and get it done.
Unearthing Deeper Roots
How? Explore what's REALLY bothering you deep down, and where it first happened (it's most likely childhood)...
And then go in and dissolve THAT wound, as it will ripple out to resolve any current situation issues between you and your counterpart, and in life as a whole.
While it may seem daunting to start, jumping in and getting to grips with it once and for all will actually save you so much time and avoid a lot of suffering down the line.
You can journal on it yourself, then use the Free Twin Flame Energy Session here.
Journeying Into The Un-Conscious
Or, for a deeper shift, where I take you through this whole process, I'd recommend the Inner Child Healing for Twin Flames or the Higher Heart Transformation journey (which also has an inner child healing section).
"On the Twin Flame journey, the heart isn’t just a metaphor — it’s the key to everything."
The Higher Heart Transformation Journey is one of the most beautiful, powerful sessions I’ve ever created — designed to gently but deeply clear pain, blocks, and fear from the heart chakra…
This is for you if you’ve felt:
→ Afraid to open up again after past hurt
→ Disconnected from love (whether self-love or from your Twin)
When the heart heals, the whole connection transforms.

The "Cosmic Request" For Twin Flames
Spirit shows us that with Saturn and Neptune both recently retrograde, and Mercury now joining them...
We are dealing with a "cosmic request" to get to grips with patterns of escapism, avoiding responsibility and addiction (including to drama, gossip, scrolling online, or even emotional patterns).
They show us that all of these attempts at avoiding the present moment and our responsibility for our lives, somehow shows a DEEPER UNDERLYING BELIEF THAT THINGS CANNOT BE THE WAY WE WANT.
What Is Really Happening?
This is the core issue beneath it all! Unconsciously.
But the thing is, they show us, when we try to escape ourselves and our situation we are not available and embodied to receive Union and live what we truly came here for.
It's therefore crucial to become aware of these subtle patterns that have affected our journey negatively
Above all, they advise us, pay ATTENTION to your patterns and what the deeper feeling is beneath them.
Paying Attention
In other words, if you feel angry often, what is the first situation you remember that felt that way? Who are you really angry with? Or is it actually fear you're feeling?
Self awareness is gold, spirit says. It can truly change your life for the better.
The pace slows just enough to allow us to catch our breath now, so it's an opportune moment to shift in sometimes quiet and deep ways.
When The Situation Seems Unclear
Early in the week, things may seem somewhat unclear after last week's powerful Full Moon and Neptune/Saturn retrograde in a conjunction.
It's a transitional kind of period, and it's allowing you to take stock of what's come before, and heal to re-align for the future.
The answers are not immediately clear this week; they lie in emotional nuance, in what has been left unspoken or what is beginning to soften.
Mercury Retrograde In Leo
Thursday/Friday (depending on where in the world you are), Mercury goes retrograde in Leo.
This marks the beginning of three weeks of reflection on how we express ourselves, communicate from the heart, and take up space or perform.
In Leo, Mercury is expressive and charismatic, wanting to be seen, heard, and celebrated.
However, during its retrograde phase, this expression can become entangled in self-doubt or Ego wounds.
(This often makes people touchy and avoidant of love. If this sounds like your counterpart - have a look here, there ARE solutions)
Do People Seem Extra Doubtful And Touchy?
Many may find themselves questioning how genuine their voice really is and whether they are speaking from the soul or merely performing for approval.
Additionally, themes of over-explaining, over-sharing, or withholding the truth to maintain likability or control may also come to light.
Mercury retrogrades always encourage us to reflect, but in Leo, the mirror it provides is as emotional as it is intellectual.
Self Expression Re-Evaluated
Memories from the past—particularly those linked to creative projects, romantic relationships, or childhood experiences—may resurface for closer examination.
It's a time to let go of any outdated or lower self-dialogue you've had going about your worth, visibility, and right to shine.
The key is to refine, not retreat.
This is a good time to dream and plan, without losing sight of the emotional truth behind your plans and desires.
Sweetening The Process...
Also this week and into his Retrograde, Mercury sextiles Venus in Gemini. This energy eases the retrograde’s initial impact and introduces a moment of gentleness.
Conversations that once seemed difficult could become smoother now, especially if approached with warmth and honesty. Empathy is powerful.
(And, spirit advises, it helps if you can remember that the other person is just as nervous, doubtful or worried as you are!)
This transit brings potential for romantic reconnection - but for Twin Flames, Mercury Retrograde often brings back an aspect of the connection for healing rather than a "true reunion". (More on this here)
Re-Opening Twin Flame Communication
Mercury R sextile Venus is a lovely opportunity to return to past projects or relationships with a fresh perspective. Communication re-opening is highly likely with Venus in Gemini.
And, sweetening the way we communicate with one another.
There’s potential to reconnect with someone you care about. If love has been on hold, now is the time to revisit it - with an open heart.
But Are You Willing To Open Up (Again)?
The complication in this comes from the Sun in Cancer square Chiron the wounded healer in Aries. This transit can sting a little.
Chiron brings old wounds to the surface—not to punish, but to transform and release what has held us back deep down.
In Aries, Chiron's wounds often revolve around identity, independence, and the fear of being too much or not enough.
Feel Like Others Are More "Out To Get You" Than Usual?
The Sun in Cancer, deeply connected to family, roots, and emotional security, casts a light on our more tender aspects. It can also make us more defensive and interpret others as more hostile than usual.
Spirit says, life is not much if you are always shielding yourself against it and others. The paradox is, the more you open up, the more good flows to you.
The past may have made you afraid, but it doesn’t have to be a self fulfilling prophecy.
Challenges, Old Insecurities
This square coupled with Mercury Retrograde in Leo could trigger old insecurities or bring up past hurts connected to visibility, vulnerability, and independence.
It's definitely pushing us, to get out of the pattern of shutting down in order to self-protect.
Leo is all about courage via the open heart, and says true courage is to follow your intuition and inner self - love. Closing down is not truly brave.
Are You Willing To Be Vulnerable For Love?
Spirit shows us that some Lightworkers are still uncomfortable with being seen and known, so this is going to be a purification period for many.
A preparation to go bigger with your impact.
For Twin Flames, this is also crucial - because when we are shrinking and fearing being really seen, heard and known, we are withdrawing from the light of love we feel with our counterpart.
(Incidentally, this is why some Twins "run" - more on this here).
Don't Avoid The Cosmic Challenge (It's A Blessing In Disguise)
Spirit reminds us yet again that this is an inner child issue - because as a being of light, you are powerful!
The only reason you would feel like it wasn't safe to open to love would be if you were NOT in your power, which comes from childhood.
Your awakened self is completely comfortable in their uniqueness and knows that they can never be hurt as long as they have healed themselves and are aligned with the highest.
The Inner Child "Speaking"
The pain that surfaces this week carries valuable lessons.
Often, these moments are when the inner child expresses itself most clearly—not through words, but through emotional reactions and the urge to retreat, defend, or prove something.
Keep an eye out for those impulses, to open to the wisdom that is wanting to reach you - to help you heal. We're reminded now, that we can honor our sensitivity without allowing it to define us.
Healing occurs when we permit ourselves to feel fully and choose differently.
You may find yourself revisiting a theme or wound from earlier in the year this week, now seen from a more empowered perspective.
A Moment To Pause
With no significant lunar events or outer planet movements this week, there is more emphasis on internal growth—a moment to pause and recalibrate.
You are being encouraged to listen more deeply: to your intuition, your inner child, and your heart’s unspoken desires.
This week isn’t about solving problems—it’s about allowing yourself to develop a new understanding of who you are, particularly when no one is watching.
Tech Glitches, Misunderstandings?
As Mercury begins his retrograde, miscommunications, delays, and technical glitches may arise—but don't look at them as failures.
They are presenting opportunities to slow down, pay attention, and refine your approach.
This also is the perfect time to edit, revise, or revisit any creative work that demands heart and clarity.
Feeling Uncertain? That's OK
You may not have clear answers just yet, but you may realize that what begins to emerge now is more valuable than anything you've forced in the past.
And, spirit says, if you look back... Can you see that it was fear or your inner child's insecurities that made you rush in the past?
You're wiser now. Stay grounded. Stay self aware.
Making The Most Of Mercury Retrograde
Mercury Retrograde doesn’t have to hold you back.
This retrograde can bring up old doubts, confusion, and unresolved emotions that leave you questioning everything about your connection.
Unfortunately, waiting for things to "just resolve" without your active input will only deepen the cycle.
I made a video here for you on the most common issue I see that delays harmony and reunion for so many Twin Flames - when we let the mind run the show, and ignore the deeper emotional messages our souls want to bring across.
Waiting For Things To Fix Themselves?
In the 30-Day Vibrational Alignment Challenge, you learn how to align your pair frequency with harmony and open to tangible Reunion in the 3D physical and beyond—even during challenging cosmic shifts.
Mercury Retrograde is asking you to face and heal the deeper roots of issues between you and your Twin Flame, to realign.
To allow yourself to rise into the frequency match you need for unity - no matter what has happened between you in the past.
Are you ready to allow love in, and bring your connection to the state of love it is meant for?
I would be honored to guide you through it.
As always, I'm sending you so much love and light for your journey <3
