Cosmic Shifts: Embracing the Post-Lionsgate Calm | Energy & Astrology Update | Magical Michelle Orwick

Ever felt like you're stuck in cosmic limbo between intense astrological events? This week offers the sweet relief you've been craving. As we emerge from the illuminating Aquarian full moon, potent Lion's Gate portal, and Mercury retrograde, we're entering what can only be described as August's astrological sweet spot.

The rare conjunction of Venus and Jupiter creates a harmonious backdrop that especially benefits Taurus and Libra individuals but offers everyone a chance to experience more cooperation, manifestation, and joy. This celestial event, combined with a beautiful water trine between Pisces and Cancer energies, creates the perfect conditions for fluid transformation and dream-weaving. Though Mercury has technically stationed direct, give yourself a few days to fully feel its forward momentum as you begin organizing thoughts and taking those gentle, loving action steps toward your desires.

While the 8/8 Lion's Gate portal peak has passed, its transformative energy continues through the remainder of Leo season, giving us time to integrate downloads and prepare for the upcoming Virgo new moon on the 23rd. This period serves as valuable preparation before we dive deeper into eclipse season with two consecutive Virgo new moons (including September's partial solar eclipse). Now is the time to devote yourself to choices that make life more sacred, communicate your dreams to those around you, and collaborate with your spiritual team. When challenges arise, try shifting your perspective from "happening to you" to "happening for you" – you might discover that seeming obstacles are actually creating space for quantum leaps in your evolution.

Magical Michelle Orwick: 0:20

Welcome to Living Magically. I'm your host, magical Michelle, and this is the energy update and astrological forecast for the week of August 11th, and one of the things I want to share with you is that there is finally a little bit of ease in the intensity. In fact, you may even be feeling a post full moon hangover or a post Mercury retrograde or post Lionsgate hangover, and yet in that space, once you get past that rest and recalibration this is a very beautiful time frame and I apologize if you usually expect me to come live at six o'clock, I am coming a little early. I'm actually live here in Kansas City. I've been doing an event with Rima and we had just the most magical time If you ever have a chance to come to Kansas City. I had no idea how absolutely spectacular it is. It's the third or fourth. It's the fourth time I've been to Kansas City now and every time I come I realize how wonderful this city is. It's got labyrinths and Unity Villages and this time I got to explore the Nelson Museum and it's bigger-than-life Kwan Yin Temple and Stargate, which is right next to the Bloom Temple. Really amazing. And so, to all my friends and family here in Kansas City, thank you for your warm welcome and for all those who attended our shaman weekend this weekend here in the Bloom Temple whether you were here in person, because it was a hybrid. It was one of the first of many that we actually did the shamanism, partly um online at the same time as in person, and we were using crystals and oils and journey work to do some massively powerful and transformational work. And if that's something you're interested in, please reach out because we will be doing. We have a new offering of cosmic shamanism coming out, and so that'll be available this week to see more of that work, that work.

Magical Michelle Orwick: 3:02

But in the meantime, let's talk about this week. Let's talk about the fact that, yes, we had the full moon, yes, it was illuminating, yes, it was intense. We had the lion's gate, it was powerful, it was moving. And now what's happening? So August 11th and you may even be watching this later in the week, but the effects of what's happening today will be carrying through as themes for this whole week. First, we have what we've all been waiting for, which, every time Venus conjuncts Jupiter, it's and it's very rare right. We have harmony. These are the two most joyful signs, and this is especially for any, any Taurus or Libra ruled person. This is. This is an absolutely lovely expression of the stars happening right now. It's the sweet spot of the whole month.

Magical Michelle Orwick: 4:15

So this little window, once you get over the hangover of the full moon and the lion's gate, will give us an opportunity, and you might even feel it more on Tuesday or Wednesday than you do on Monday, because it's still just happening. The the ramifications will last for for a quite a bit of time. When we look at this, the invitation is to start with rest, and to start with a little bit of rest, unwinding the past. So anytime we come out of a Mercury retrograde, we have to take a couple days. Mercury going direct today does not mean it feels like it's in motion, but it does feel like there's opportunity. So, anything that's been stuck, anything that you haven't been able to maybe accomplish or get your hands on, or maybe you did have to do a lot and you need to like, recalibrate and get organized. And, of course, it's the first day of school for a lot of people.

Magical Michelle Orwick: 5:23

This today, or this week, or even next week, this is that time where we start a cycle and that's what's happening here with this absolutely lovely energy, and it's a water trine as well. Today we have Pisces energy, we have cancer energy, we have a lot of this watery, fluid, transformational energy that allows us to ebb and flow. It allows us to dream our destiny into being and allows us to really, slowly and assuredly, take that forward motion. Take those gentle, loving action steps, take those bigger thoughts and bigger plans and bigger dreams opportunity and we have a great chance to become the version of. So if you're looking to co-op, you need someone to cooperate. Now is the time to be both helpful, but also if you're needing to ask for for help, this is where you might find other people to be more cooperative and we have a little bit more time in the Lionsgate window. The big portal is complete, but I really do feel that the Lionsgate continues through that 1-8 on the 18th, through the degrees of Leo that were were were energizing through the end of Leo season before we come to that really loving, wonderful new moon in Virgo that's happening on the 23rd. So if we finish out Leo season in this week and part of next week, this allows us to take that energy, the activations, the downloads, the Aqu to be in cancer right and it is a very loving, compassionate and um, I just definitely got that as a download as I was visiting Kuan Yin yesterday.

Magical Michelle Orwick: 8:31

I want to invite you to be more gentle with yourself, more compassionate with yourself, more compassionate with others, but also in that devotional way, devote yourself to your choices and the choices that are going to make your life more sacred. The choices that are going to make your life more sacred, the choices that are going to make your life more beneficial to you. Take the action, but take it with love, take it with devotion. Have those heartfelt communication that you need to make the transformation. Tell the people around you your dreams. Tell the people around you how you want to co-create with them. Tell yourself and work with your soul and your guides. Your guides need permission to do more than just put a buffet of things in front of you. So it's a good time to literally open up to asking to be guided and to be in co-creation with your team and spirit.

Magical Michelle Orwick: 9:49

And it's a good time to really start that new thing. And even if it's just planning to start that new thing and you start it with a new moon in Virgo because, as that Virgo moon happens, you'll actually have two Virgo new moons in a row. You'll have one in August and one in September, the second being a partial solar eclipse. So this begins, in so many ways, once we got through the illuminating Aquarian moon. Now we're actually getting prepared for eclipse season, and so this is that sweet spot. Technically we're in eclipse season because we're past the Aquarian full moon, but we still feel the full moon, we still feel the Lion's Gate, activation, energy and the embedding of the new version of you, the embedding of the courage to take action on your dreams and desires, the motivation and, with Mercury being out of retrograde and this water trine, the ability to see clearly, the ability to move and act clearly, the ability to create. I look at all this and I see it like you're in the womb of creation and it's a beautiful time for commitment, it's a beautiful time for ceremony, it's a beautiful time for dedication and, of course, being here has allowed me to be even more in touch with my soul and my spirit and clear on my offerings.

Magical Michelle Orwick: 11:51

As some of you may know, I've been transitioning to this deeper dive journey work and this deeper dive shamanism, and I've been doing more with these almost two hour coaching. I'm having results. I'm having the work that I'm doing has. My numerology is on 11 and I really look at it as this amp has gone to 11, right. The work that I'm doing is more profound than I've ever done and it feels more meaningful, and I think that's true for so many people here. It is what we came here to do.

Magical Michelle Orwick: 12:40

It's the time to be having these expressions of your deepest soul work and if you feel called, I want to work with you. I want to help you be ready for that absolute quantum leap. I'm seeing it in every client I am working with right now, making massive, ridiculously easy but transformative power moves in their lives. And why I say that is between the combination of the modalities that I use and the work that we're doing. We overcome limiting beliefs and we set things in motion and we're designing the destiny and people are able to just go through limiting experiences or blocks that have been keeping them held back and they're expanding the expansion. I'm feeling, the expansion that the people around me are feeling. The work right now is to expand to your soul mission, to expand to the flow and to be living life in ease and joy and celebration, and I'm not saying that life doesn't happen like my car was needing repairs a couple of weeks ago and I was needing to be staying still while my car was getting worked on, and and that gave me a place to take a pause.

Magical Michelle Orwick: 14:30

So so things happen, and my encouragement to you is, when something seems like it's happening, switch to it's from it's happening to you to it's happening for you. What is being called? Is there a change that's being asked of you? One of my clients was made. Their work didn't manifest, their contract was canceled, and this allowed them to completely refigure how they were going to make their lifestyle. It changed how they were able to create their life very intentionally, their life very intentionally, and in less than two weeks, the new version of them was collapsed and created, and now everything is actually how they wanted it to be.

Magical Michelle Orwick: 15:35

And so sometimes something is taken away from us to show us or make the jump, make the leap really quickly, really miraculously. So I'm just wanting you to, I'm inviting you. I don't want or need anything from you, but I'm inviting you to look at if there is any stuck energy, especially as Mercury is going direct this week and as things are gaining momentum, as we're not in the deepest part of eclipse season and we're not in the heightened portion of the full moon and the 8-8 portal, before we get into the 9-9, before we get into the 9-9, before we get into the eclipse cycle. My encouragement here for you is to dive deep into what is being asked of you and what are you asking of you. Are we connecting to our highest self? Are we connecting to our saboteur? And if there is that saboteur, right now is when we want to say thank you for being here, but I'm going to set you free so I can be free. I'm going to connect instead to my highest frequency. I'm going to connect and recalibrate to the version of me, that is, of the frequency that already has this devotion, that is already committed more to my love, more to my compassion, more to my desire, more to my dream than I am, to my failure, my lack, my worry, my punishment programs, and we can deep dive into that together if this is something you're interested in.

Magical Michelle Orwick: 17:41

So my invitation right now is to hop on a call with me, a one-on-one call with me, and let's design your destiny. I have a program it's the best thing I've ever created to work one-on-one with me. As well as some individual ceremony, there's some bonuses to do it this week, because now is the time and the time is now and if this is calling to you, please, my invitation is don't wait. I only have room for like five more people in this program. We've had some people already jump in and I only have so much time myself and I want to really commit to the people as they're committing to themselves. So, if it's your time whether it's working with me and that's the invitation work with me and that's the invitation. Work with me and deeply commit to design your destiny and to live a magical life, and to do that ceremoniously, to do it magically, to quantum leap your experience. Reach out, let's have a phone call.

Magical Michelle Orwick: 18:57

If this is just the time where you're listening to this and it's time for you to do this on your own, my invitation is to be committed and the invitation is to promise yourself and make and transcend the uncertainty. Certainty is going to be key here. Transcend the past because, with all the planets changing direction, with everything that has happened in the last eight months and four or five years, really, this is the only time in history you're going to have this absolutely grace-filled opportunity for amazing change, and it's not simple, but it is absolutely doable to change and grow and connect and have that be a super easy. I'm saying easy, simple. Let me restate that it is absolutely possible, using very tangible, easy steps, to take massive, miracle quantum leaps. Right now there's a grace timeline available and, if you are ready to hop on that, the magic train, the magic carpet ride, is happening this week.

Magical Michelle Orwick: 20:49

I have been in love every time. I look at what's happening in the sky. Right now I am in love and so I love you and I invite you to have a magical week and to really look deep at what is going to create that magical life for you. And if I can be of service to you, please reach out, because there are limited spaces and I want to be involved in that quantum jump for you. So, brightest blessings, live magically and I will see you again next Monday.
