Wondering why this week feels like life is alternating the gas pedal and the brake intermittently?

This week's astrology has a serious case of what Tracy calls the **"Hurkey Jerky."** With Mercury retrograde, a powerful Mercury cazimi, a Cancer New Moon, multiple Void of Course Moons, and major outer planet aspects building, the energy is full of starts, stops, insights, and unexpected course corrections.

Join Tracy and Lillian as they break down the astrology for **July 12–18**, explain what it means in plain English, and share practical ways to work with the week's energy instead of fighting against it.

✨ In this episode: • Mercury cazimi and the moment of clarity during Mercury retrograde • Venus under pressure from a Yod and Uranus • The Cancer New Moon and why timing matters • Why this week feels stop-start • The creativity hidden inside the delays • The growing Jupiter-Pluto opposition • Practical ways to navigate the week with less frustration
