Here are soulful journal prompts based on the cosmic themes unfolding on June 26, 2025 a day of bold expression, breakthrough insight, and courage in action:
Mercury in Leo
Prompt: “Where in my life am I ready to speak more boldly and authentically?”
Why it matters:As Mercury enters fiery, expressive Leo, we’re invited as a collective to reclaim the power of our voice not just to talk, but to declare what matters. In a world saturated with noise and surface-level chatter, authentic expression becomes a revolutionary act. Whether it's sharing your story, naming your needs, or using your platform to uplift others, this energy encourages heart-led communication that inspires and empowers.
How to work with it:
Journal or speak your truth aloud even just to yourself at first.
Practice intentional communication: say what you mean, and mean what you say.
Use creative mediums (art, writing, video) to express what's alive in your heart.
Mercury Sextile Uranus
Prompt: “If I gave myself permission to think radically different, what would change?”
Why it matters:This aspect electrifies the mental field sparking sudden insights, intuitive genius, and the courage to think outside the box. As a collective, we’re at a tipping point where outdated ways of thinking can no longer support where we're going. Uranus disrupts the status quo so we can innovate, liberate, and evolve personally and globally.
How to work with it:
Stay open to “weird” ideas they might be the seeds of breakthrough.
Break one routine today, just to see what new energy that shift invites.
Use technology or community forums to share or receive inspired thinking.
Sun Sextile Mars
Prompt: “What is one step I’ve been hesitating to take and why?”
Why it matters:This aspect gifts us the rare blend of clarity (Sun) and courage (Mars) to move. Many of us are caught in cycles of overthinking or fear-based procrastination. As a collective, this is our invitation to lean into action over perfection to trust that movement, no matter how small, generates momentum. This is about rising into leadership, self-initiation, and passionate pursuit.
How to work with it:
Identify one bold action that aligns with your truth and take it.
Use physical movement (walking, dancing, yoga) to embody the energy of courage.
Set a timer and do that one thing you’ve been avoiding. Even 10 minutes counts.
Let’s take a breath together, shall we?
Close your eyes for a moment. Let the world soften around you. You’re safe here. Held. Home. This space? It's just for you.
Now… Take a deep inhale through your nose fill your belly. And exhale slowly through your mouth. Let’s do two more, just like that. With each breath, let tension melt. Let noise fade. Let presence pour in.
Imagine we’re standing together beneath a star-drenched sky. The Sun is warming your chest, Mars is stirring your spirit, and Mercury and Uranus are dancing in your thoughts with lightning and brilliance. They’re not above you they’re moving through you.
Mercury leans in and whispers:“Your voice matters. Say the thing.”
Uranus sends a spark to your mind:“Trust your weird. That flash of inspiration? It’s divine.”
Mars rests a hand on your shoulder:“It’s time. You’ve waited long enough. Go.”
And the Sun? She simply glows in your heart and says:“You were made for this moment.”
Let’s breathe into that.
Repeat this with me (no pressure just feel it land):
“I lead with courage and speak with love.”“My voice is magnetic, clear, and true.”“I welcome inspired action and trust the momentum.”“Insight flows to me. Boldness moves through me. I am ready.”
Now bring your attention to your throat. Imagine a glowing blue light there like a star in your skin.
Say gently:“I trust my voice. I speak from the heart.”
Let that light drop into your belly your power center. See it shimmer golden.
Say it:“I act with clarity. I move with courage.”
Then, lift your attention to that beautiful space between your eyebrows your knowing. Let a soft violet light pulse there.
Say:“I receive insight. I see new paths with ease.”
Stay with it a little longer, just breathing. Softly. Sweetly. Steadily. You don’t need to know everything. You just need to begin. Let’s end with one more breath. Deep. Easy. Yours.
And when you’re ready… come back. Wiggle those fingers. Bring your light with you. The stars are moving for you today, babe. And so are you. Let’s speak it. Move it. Live it.
Closing Thoughts:
Today’s cosmic currents invite us to stop shrinking and start shining. With Mercury roaring into Leo, sextiling Uranus, and the Sun aligning with Mars, we’re gifted a rare trifecta of mental clarity, creative brilliance, and focused drive. This is your moment to speak from the heart, trust the spark of inspiration, and take bold, aligned action even if it’s just one small step. The Universe isn’t asking for perfection it’s asking for presence, passion, and participation. Whether your truth comes through a voice note, a dance move, a journal entry, or a brave decision you’ve been holding off on today, your fire matters. Let it rise. Let it lead.
Affirmation for the day: “I lead with courage and speak with love.”
