It was a day of exactly this, and oh boy was it a hectic one! But not in a bad way, so I canāt complain- I was able to get a lot done! 
I love your astrology advice, Marsha! 
I did the paperwork on a new (well, new to me haha) car- it has taken weeks and weeks of searching to find one, but the process has finally come to an end! Iām hopefully and optimistic about the month ahead 
How are you doing, Marsha? Hope all is well with you!

We had some life-changing planetary alignments yesterday, that will bring in major changes, and clear past-life karma. You will also have more clarity on your new path. The Lunar Nodes are shifting into Aries and Libra. The South Node in Libra is helping you to clear codependent issues and heal past relationships. The Galactic New Year is next week and the Lions Gate Portal is on August 8th.
This was a pretty big shift in the energy yesterday, itās going to take several weeks to adjust. I didnāt fall asleep until 3:00 am 
Iām feeling tired, having problems sleeping, and feeling somewhat overwhelmed with all I have to do! During this time I would recommend taking some time for self-care!
With love 
always
How are you feeling?
I fell asleep, only I woke up a midnight and didnāt get back to sleep till morning. Urgh. Hopefully, the energy will let me sleep tonight.
Is this part of the reason I just absolutely crashed around 1 PM today and havenāt really recovered? 
I mean, I even took a nap - I donāt take naps!
Wondering tha same thing. I know I was sick but dang I slept so much and even today I was sooooo tired
Fascinating, explains why I feel jetlagged even after sleeping well. I like that this will clear past life karma. When I had a healing session with a psychic last year, she said I had family persecutions in my past life tree. Thatās why I was struggling with fitting into the status quo of certain community and to shift to a different path.

Youāre being asked to feel secure enough to express who you are in your entirety. ~Jordane Maree
Yesterdayās M5 solar flare was highly eruptive and caused a moderate S2 solar radiation storm, which resulted in a minor radio blackout. Weāve had another radiation storm today at 5:00 am MDT this morning with another radio blackout.

The first 24 hours of any big energy change can be tough as you have to adjust to new frequencies, vibrations, and movement.
Energy hangover potential abounds so take precautions as you may be very tired, thirsty, hungry, and unmotivated, or just the opposite - everyone responds to these energy shifts differently.
And we have this aspect for several weeks so you are not missing anything if you arenāt feeling it right now.
If you are not getting a lot of sleep right now youāre in good company. So many people are telling me they arenāt sleeping at night (me too) or waking up at 3 AM and not going back to sleep until 5 or 6 am, or not at allā¦ And then having to take coma naps because they are so tired.
It may take a few days to settle into this new energy - we just entered a new energy paradigm that we have never experienced before.
So, the answer isā¦ Yes, Solar Flares do affect sleep! I resisted and fought the urge to take a ācomaā nap yesterday, hoping I would sleep better last night! Thankfully, I did sleep better!
Well, at least now I know whatās happening - I mean, there are a few other things that are affecting it that I know of, but this definitely didnāt help at all!
I wonder if WiFi is amplified by it 
, cuz last night I switched it off and I slept like a log. 
At least Iāve got some more answers now! I also downloaded that science app that has the solar flares and other information. Now Iāve just gotta figure out how to use it!
From Giphy
I was wondering why all of a sudden I wasnāt sleeping well- the last two nights have been rough. Iāve been so ridiculously tired but tossed and turned for hours unable to fall asleep.
Sounds like Iām not the only one dealing with this- cāmon, solar flares! Let us sleep! 
Thank you, Energy Detective Marsha!

As you take on more work, you can get even more done, and being productive can make you feel good. You can get focused and work hard.

Discipline may be missing, and you may want to avoid dealing with anything too big and instead work on smaller projects and plans. Energy may come and go otherwise.

Today, July 20, 2023, is a big Galactic Activation Portal Day, with huge upgrades and shifts.
Tuesday, July 25th is āA Day Out of Time!ā Itās also the opening of the Lions Gate Portal, which will be open until August 12th. The Lions Gate Portal will be at its strongest on August 8th.
Old cycles are clearing, and healing on every level. Expect huge energetic shifts that will take you into a deeper alignment during this time. Stop looking back and think about your future.
I had so much trouble sleeping last night, it was so crazy and today is distracting and hectic. We have also had solar flares and radiation reaching us! The Schumann Resonance is at 23, which is a little high, remember normal is 7.83!
Iām sleeping through the night, but going to bed later than normal for me, waking up a little earlier, then justā¦ I wish I could take a napā¦ then do whateber it is that I shouldāve done earlier & wind up somewhat napping or at least doing mindless TV watching or just laying on the couch with my eye closed do some breathing listening to the sounds around me or whateber is on the TVā¦ just not really paying attention to it 
Kind of feel like I could nap now, butā¦ then that would mess up whats left of my sleep schedule
I know the other things contributing to all of this, but the energy & pressure shifts arenāt helping

There may be fights for power and control, and it may feel like others want to control you. Try to avoid lashing out and find a constructive transformation that can help.
Waxing Crescent Moon in Virgo
We have been clearing old emotional wounds since Pluto began its retrograde in Capricorn at the beginning of May! This is likely to intensify for the next few days as Pluto will be in its closest approach to Earth this year.
We are still being affected by the Nodes changing signs, it is a time of transformation. For me, it still feels like I have an energy hangover! I had a long to-do list for today, but no energy or motivation! Maybe itās time to slow down a little bitā¦ how are you today?
Iām awake, wide awake at midnight!. Not normal for me. Watching Kardashians as too awake but brain not awake enough to study/read 
lol. Canāt sleep, having an energy buzz, is that normal, I havenāt even had any cafene. Lol.
@tracyS
Thatās how I was last night too! I didnāt get nearly enough sleep, so now Iām so tired. For the last few nights, when itās bedtime I wake up! 
I just found this post by Elizabeth Peru!
So much is happening right now, with cosmic energy contracting. Your head (your personality) could be feeling UNDER PRESSURE. If so, recognise it and then do thisā¦
Stop what youāre doing. When you feel yourself feeling despondent, bring awareness to it
Take a deep breath in. Pause. Imagine that your headās energy is dropping into your heart. Be still. Then, choose - wisely
TWO simple steps that will increase your 'SPIRITUAL GROWTH ā under todayās intense energy.
Will try this. Thankyou

Venus 
Retrograde Begins in Leo 9:33 pm EDT
With Venus retrograde in Leo for the next six weeks or so, this can make it difficult for you to express love and affection. You may show too much and lack any focus on the mundane or show too little and lack a connection to your heart. A middle ground is needed.
Sun Enters Leo 9:50 pm EDT
Creativity, love, and affection get the focus during Leo season, but with Venus retrograde, this may come with challenges. We must find healthy, positive ways to use creative energy and show love.
In astrology, we look to the lunar nodes for insights into our purpose, soul growth, destiny, and evolution. Much like destiny itself, the lunar nodes arenāt tangible objects. Rather, they are two mathematical points in space delineated by where the Moonās orbit intersects the Sunās apparent path or ecliptic. The north node represents the direction toward which we are individually and collectively evolving. It sits in the opposite zodiac sign to the south node, which represents what we are releasing.
~by Jordane Maree, Yoga Journal
As Venus begins retrograde in Leo, itās time for some self-care. Pamper yourself and love who you are! Take care of yourself in whatever way you need to. Leo Season Begins today! Where has the summer gone? I do love the beautiful colors of Fall, though!
Oh, and be sure to check out Elizabeth Peruās blog post, Your Guide To 5D Ascension Symptoms! She has a long list, and so many describe how Iām feeling. She also has recommendations to help. Anyway, itās got a lot of great info in it! I hope you enjoy it!

The people in your life can get more attention, and you may want to improve your connections with others, especially with Venus now retrograde. Take a careful approach.

Mental restlessness may be strong, and it can be difficult to focus on anything mundane or traditional. You may need to give your mind a break.
Chiron in Aries 19 
58 Retrograde 8:42 am EDT
Chiron is not technically a planet, itās a large asteroid. Itās known as the wounded healer. As it appears to move backward for the next 5 months, old wounds from your past may arise so they can be healed and released. So if you feel called to do Shadow Work, now is the time.
With all the planetary energy this month, Iām feeling so many different things, my emotions are up and down, I donāt have a lot of motivation or energy and Iām still struggling with insomnia. Itās difficult to find any balance in my life. Itās either up or down! How are you doing today?
