Welcome to the very first official edition of Oracle Sis Spills the tea 🫖. You’re officially locked in, the cosmic tea 🫖 is brewing, and we are absolutely not gatekeeping a single thing. Get comfy, honey because the Universe already has a lot to say.
I couldn’t help but wonder… are we actually holding the reins of our own wagon, or are we just trapped in the back seat of a very messy, very unpredictable ride?
Right now, all I’m hearing the song “ It’s my party, and I can cry if I want to”. 🎶 and baby, this week we really might be crying 😭 over every damn thing.
The chariot reversed is showing us that this week we may be FEELING overwhelmed, pulled in multiple directions, stalled, blocked, or stuck in moments of major indecisiveness. We may also feel like we have zero control over what’s happening around us.
Feeling is the key word here. You might know deep down that something needs to change, but you have no clue which direction to move in to make that change possible. And sweetie, please be careful sitting on a decision forever just because you’re terrified of making the wrong choice. Eventually, if you don’t choose, circumstances will make the choice for you, and you might not like the outcome.
Feeling blocked or powerless can also bring frustration, anger, impatience or even uncontrolled aggression, right to the surface. So watch your temper this week. Especially when things aren’t moving the way you want them to, you can’t get a straight answer, or somebody is demanding way too much of your time, energy, money 💵 or resources.
And baby, the astrology is backing the card of the week. Let’s look at the receipts.
Monday Morning Fog (5:52 AM ET): Monday kicks off with Mars in Cancer ♋️ squaring Neptune retrograde in Aries ♈️. This Transit can make your motivation, energy and direction feel completely foggy. You know you need to make a move, but you may feel too emotionally drained or confused to know what it should be. Plans may stall, things may not move fast enough, and irritation can build because you feel like you should be doing something, but you don’t know what the hell that something is.
The Monday Morning Saving Grace (11:27 AM ET): Thank goodness Mercury in Leo ♌️ trines Saturn 🪐 retrograde in Aries ♈️. This is your chance to get your hands back on the wheel. Slow down. Think seriously. Make an actual plan. Have a tough conversation. Look at what is realistically within your control instead of reacting from pure panic 😱.
The Monday Plot Twist (12:15 PM ET): Less than an hour later, Venus in Libra ♎️ sextiles Jupiter in Leo ♌️. This can drop an opportunity, invitation, creative idea, money situation, or juicy love connection right into your lap. Sometimes being pulled multiple directions doesn’t mean all the choices are bad. Sometimes too many things look god, and now you have another decision to make!
The Monday Night Emotional Shift (5:46 PM ET): The emotional part of The Chariot reversed gets even louder. We start the week with the Moon in Libra ♎️ trying to rationally weigh every single side of the situation. But once the Moon slips into Scorpio ♏️ Monday evening, your emotions start weighing heavily on the decision too. Scorpio ♏️ energy can have you replaying conversations, questioning motives, obsessing over what you can’t control, or digging for answers just because uncertainty makes you comfortable.
The Friday Attitude Check ✔️(1:06 AM ET) : Later in the week, that frustration piece deserves your full attention. Mercury in Leo ♌️ semi-square Mars in Cancer ♋️, making patience thin and words sharp. If you already feel blocked or feel like people are moving too damn slow, this is where irritation can come into play. Think before you send the text, make the call 📲, or say something you’ll have to clean up later.
The Friday Reality Check ☑️ (8:43 AM ET) : Finally, Venus in Libra ♎️ opposes Saturn 🪐 retrograde in Aries ♈️, bringing a reality check around love, money, commitment, boundaries, and what other people realistically have the capacity to give you. Something may show you exactly where the limit is. It might feel like another roadblock, but remember: not every obstacle is telling you to push harder. Sometimes the obstacle is showing you where you need to stop 🛑 adding commas and finally put a period. You still have control over what you continue, what you keep trying to build on, and what you decide has reached the end of its chapter.
The Chariot reversed is the card we pulled for the week, and it is a reminder that we are not powerless. We are not just passengers in our lives. We are the ones driving the car 🚘, and we have a say in who gets to ride with us, what direction we choose to go, and what route we take.
Weekly Brew Rx
Honey, you are spiraling, and the energy is heavy. You need a literal prescription to stop playing yourself this week. Take this daily:
The 24-Hour Rule: Feeling stuck? You are legally barred from deciding for 24 hours. Put the phone down. Write out your options. Cross out what you cannot control. Look at what’s left and consider the realistic cost: time, money, energy, or peace. Choose the foundation, not the quick escape. And baby, if a situation keeps showing you it cannot meet your needs, stop negotiating with the evidence. Taking control means knowing exactly what ends here.
The Grounding Protocol: When the irritation starts coming out sideways, physically drop out of your head. Sit flat on the floor, put your hands on the ground, and breathe until you can hear your own damn thoughts without everyone else’s opinions sitting in your passenger seat.
Daily Affirmations: Say them three times whenever you feel yourself spiraling.
“I am holding the reins, not riding passenger to other people’s chaos.”
“I will not negotiate with evidence that shows me where I am not valued.”
“It might be a messy party, but baby, I am still the host.”
It might be your party, but being the host isn’t just about keeping everybody entertained. You control the guest list. You decide who gets invited, who gets access, and when it’s time for somebody to leave.
Until the next pour,
Oracle Sis 🫖
