Retrograde Season 2025: A Sacred Rewind

📍 “Healing doesn’t always feel like progress—it often feels like remembering.”

 

This summer, the cosmos are calling for a full-body, soul-deep pause.

With Mercury, Saturn, Neptune, Pluto, Chiron, and Vesta all retrograde, we are officially in one of the most powerful spiritual reset portals of the year.

🌌 What’s Happening in the Skies?

 

Here’s a quick look at the retrogrades reshaping our inner world:

Planet	Retrograde Dates	Theme
Neptune in Aries	Began July 4	Truth vs. illusion, spiritual disillusionment
Saturn in Aries	July 13-Nov 28	Boundaries, responsibility, karmic restructuring
Mercury in Leo	July 17-Aug 11	Communication, confidence, ego checks
Pluto in Aquarius	Ongoing	Power dynamics, rebirth, inner alchemy
Chiron & Vesta	Ongoing	Sacred healing, soul devotion

 

This isn’t a breakdown.

It’s a breakthrough—but only if we slow down and listen.

🔮 Rituals for Retrograde Season

These Sacred Bloom–approved rituals help you align with the rewind instead of resisting it:

 

🕯️ 1. Candle of Clarity (Mercury & Neptune Rx)

• Use: White or blue candle

Soul Check-In: Journal Prompt's
Write with honesty, not perfection:

• “What needs closure before I can move forward?”
• “Where have I been too quiet—or too loud?”
• “What version of me is being asked to rise from the ashes?”

 

💫 Retrograde Reminders

• You’re not broken—you’re blooming in reverse
• Retrogrades aren’t setbacks—they’re soul audits
• Slowness is sacred
• Rest is resistance
• Your worth is not tied to productivity

 

🌙 Closing Words from Sacred Bloom

If it feels like life is cha-cha sliding around your healing… that’s because it is.

But even when everything seems out of order—your soul knows the steps.

So scream into the void.

Dance barefoot in the chaos.

Cry, cleanse, and recalibrate.

And when you’re ready to reemerge, Sacred Bloom will be here—soft, sturdy, and full of light.
